Frugality is the fine tradition and virtue of the Chinese nation, and it is also the moral code of practice by countless revolutionaries in their lives.
The original intention of the Communist Party was to seek mission for the people and rejuvenate the Chinese nation. Whether it was a revolutionary vanguard reborn from the ashes or a Communist Party member in daily life, they all practiced the fine tradition of thrift and thrift with their own personal actions.
Hua Guofeng's wife Han Zhijun is such a person. So far, she has been 91 years old .
Unlike others, she never takes a luxury car and is equipped with escorts when she goes out. , she usually chooses bicycles to and from work. In addition, the furnishings in her family and the work of her children are strictly in accordance with the prescribed standards, and never exceeds the rules.
Such character is very admired by many people. What many people envy is that she and her husband Hua Guofeng have gone through ups and downs. They support each other, live up to their old age, and fulfilled their original promise.
So what kind of life does Han Zhijun have? What kind of love story does she and Hua Guofeng have?
Hua Guofeng and Han Zhijun
1. Han Zhijun's revolutionary career
A hundred years ago, there was still a fire of war on the land of China, the people were displaced and hungry, and society urgently needed a new system to carry out changes. This allowed countless revolutionaries and advanced patriots to charge forward. They stood in the wave of the times and guided the direction of society and the people.
As the prairie fire is getting worse and worse, the revolutionary struggles in Shanxi are one after another. There is a small mountain village there. There is a family named Han in . The elders of their families have participated in the revolutionary struggle one after another, and their spirit also affects their descendants, such as Han Zhijun .
Han Zhijun has witnessed her parents transporting food for the revolutionary cause during the day and risking their lives to send intelligence to the comrades in the base area in the dark.

After being influenced by biological parents and family, Han Zhijun also yearned for the revolutionary life of the Communist Party. And as she grew older, she also saw that the Communists stationed near the village had strict discipline and firm revolutionary beliefs, which made her fascinated.
So when Han Zhijun entered her youth, she took the initiative to join the revolutionary ranks and contribute to the national transformation. After the organizational investigation, Han Zhijun successfully joined the Organization Department of the village base, where she received advanced ideological education and successfully became an propaganda backbone and children's teacher.
After practical training, Han Zhijun gradually mastered all kinds of things to do the revolution. Because of her outstanding work, she was sent to the county party committee for systematic training and education.

Under the training of the party organization, Han Zhijun actively participated in various activities, carried out propaganda work in the base areas behind enemy lines, mobilized the masses, and carried out literacy activities. These were all made by Han Zhijun one footprint at a time.
Although she is a woman, the most common saying she says is: does revolution regardless of gender. As a Chinese, you naturally have to do Chinese things.
Although she was still a young woman at that time, communist thought had penetrated into Han Zhijun's bones. As the revolutionary work becomes better and better, Han Zhijun's identity and position have also been greatly improved. Although her job has changed and her position has also changed, the habit of thrift and frugality she cultivated in the revolution has not changed.

Han Zhijun often uses on one side on both sides of the paper sent by the party organization. Her clothes were always washed over and over again and refused to throw away . She also turned waste into treasure and taught the women in the village how to use rags to make a new bed of clothes.
In that era of material scarcity, her thrift became an important means to enrich the material life of the villagers. In girls' schools, Han Zhijun also spread this virtue of thrift to every student. The world is full of students. This habit continues to affect Han Zhijun's future days. As Han Zhijun's work in the night school becomes more and more prosperous, night school cadres in many regions want to dig this officer to help them develop. However, because Han Zhijun had a drama performance that had not been completed, she promised to go to those night schools to help them teach or carry out activities after she had finished the drama.

Fate is so wonderful. It was when she was rehearsing this drama that she welcomed Han Zhijun who could work together for the rest of her life.
2. The lover who is in harmony with each other
Perhaps fate is determined. Hua Guofeng , who is inspecting the night school, saw Han Zhijun rehearsing on the stage. He asked the comrades at the night school: "Who is the lesbian who pretends to be a man on this stage?"
The staff of the night school told him: "This is the publicity officer of our school, Han Zhijun."
Hua Guofeng
Hua Guofeng muttered something, Han Zhijun... He kept savoring this name, and it turned out to be extraordinary. This lesbian had a heroic face and a heroic and heroic name.
After leaving, Hua Guofeng still remembered the name and often praised the drama performance that day with the people around him.
When the comrades quipped him: Which girl is the most beautiful in the drama performance, Hua Guofeng would always blurt out without hesitation: Han Zhijun.
Seeing this situation, Hua Guofeng's comrades around him were determined to match them together. After all, men should get married when they are old and women should get married when they are old. Now it is the period of the War of Liberation. The War of Resistance Against Japan has ended, and national construction is near. At this time, Hua Guofeng should also decide on a lifelong event.

After the matchmaking of colleagues, Han Zhijun also learned that there was actually a person among the leaders who came to inspect the work that day who had a good impression of her. So, the two began to communicate with each other. After that, they quickly determined their feelings for each other, and the two took the time to meet. didn't expect that the feelings of revolutionary baptism were so pure. After only seeing this, the two of them determined their eternal relationship.
A month later, Hua Guofeng happily announced to his comrades that he and Comrade Han Zhijun were preparing to get married . This news was unexpected by all comrades, because Hua Guofeng is a meticulous, rigorous and cautious person in life. He has never had such a passionate relationship with any woman, and this time he actually carried out this matter so quickly, which really surprised others.
Hua Guofeng
After coming back to his senses, the comrades sent their blessings in surprise. When talking about why he chose Han Zhijun so quickly, Hua Guofeng just smiled embarrassedly and said: "She is the person I want to work with for the rest of my life."
Even though both of them are married, Han Zhijun and Hua Guofeng still work in their respective positions every day.
Later, because Hua Guofeng was a little unhappy, Han Zhijun stayed by his side day and night to take care of him. In addition, she also took care of her family in an orderly manner after work. In order to avoid her husband's worries, she also asked to transfer her husband closer to her so that she could better take care of his daily life and diet.
Hua Guofeng is a person who has experienced the revolutionary war, but until his later years, he was still physically resistant and his physical fitness was very strong. This has to be said to be thanks to his wife Han Zhijun's care and careful care for decades.

Despite her difficulties in life, Han Zhi has never applied for a penny of material and money from the organization. She always believes that the real ability is to live a good family by relying on two people.
So Han Zhijun continues to carry forward his strengths and come up with all the ways to save resources in life. On the eve of the founding of New China 5, Hua Guofeng was transferred to the south due to work needs. Han Zhijun followed him without regrets, and in the process they also gave birth to their eldest son.
With the birth of a child, the lives of the two people also seem particularly lively. Because she is in another place, Han Zhijun never takes the initiative to report anything to the Party Central Committee. She relies on her intelligence and talent to manage the entire big family in an orderly manner.
Han Zhijun
When her son grew up, Han Zhijun educated her son: "No matter where he is, he must maintain the virtue of thrift."
Even when their whole family was going to Beijing, Han Zhijun still maintained a simple outfit. Even if her husband was already a prominent position as the vice president of the country, she still did not feel the slightest happiness, but became more and more low-key. At work, Han Zhijun never shows off his family and life experience, nor does he show off his reliance behind him.
When she goes to and from get off work every day, she always rides the shabby bicycle to "crunch" through the streets and alleys of Daxing in Beijing and walks into her office. When she asked her husband with her colleague, she always smiled and lowered her head without saying a word. No one connected Han Zhijun with the high-ranking "first lady".
Bicycle
Perhaps he has been used to seeing bullets and has endured the flames of revolution, so Han Zhijun doesn't care about those utilitarianism and fame and fortune like clouds. This sentence is easy to say, but it is actually very difficult to do.
Once, a distant relative at Han Zhijun's family wrote to her, hoping that she could find a job for herself in Beijing. In fact, this situation is very common. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many relatives of leaders' families hoped that they could be their own family's help. Han Zhijun refused this situation very seriously. She also wrote back to her relatives: "If I promise you now, it would be equivalent to betraying my faith. I would rather die than betray my faith."
Han Zhijun and Hua Guofeng
Since this letter was gone, no relatives from afar have come to ask Han Zhijun to find a job. Because everyone knows that although she is in a high position now, she still maintains her original intention of low-key and simple, and maintains her original intention of serving the people.
and even Han Zhijun's bicycle has been damaged many times due to many years of use. The car repairman of Beijing Hutong has known him. A lesbian who wears a simple dress often comes to him to repair his car.
So many leaders at that time took Hua Guofeng's wife Han Zhijun as an example, praising her simplicity in her heart and doing nothing.

3. Never feel that he is the first lady
After the special period of ten years passed, Hua Guofeng served as the leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and at that time Han Zhijun became the "first lady" of the country. But what surprised everyone was that she, the "first lady", was extremely shabby. The name Han Zhijun never seemed to appear in front of the public, and the public did not know the wife of such a country leader.
In response to this matter, she once said: "I am an ordinary revolutionary. What I have to do is to seek happiness for the people. If I are already seeking happiness for the people, I don't have to publicize my achievements, and future generations will remember myself. What I have to do now is to take good care of my family and children, and then watch our country improve step by step." This is what she said to her comrades.
Han Zhijun's thrift and simplicity won the respect of many people. Once, Hua Guofeng's grandmother asked someone to send sorghum , millet , red dates and other crops. These are things that relatives should bring when walking, but Han Zhijun is very cautious.
She repeatedly asked "These things were not brought up by relatives, right?" The relatives repeatedly promised that it was what my grandmother wanted to give the children to bring them to Beijing.
So Han Zhijun was relieved and enjoyed these delicacies. Hua Guofeng, who was staring at the sweet dates, could no longer bear it. He stepped forward and grabbed one and sent it to his mouth. While eating, he said: "We Director Han are the simplest."
Hearing her husband joking like this, Han Zhijun couldn't help but blush with a face. When his relative was about to leave Beijing, Han Zhijun also took 100 yuan from his daily salary and asked him to take it back to his hometown , which is easy to use for daily life.

After the two of them retired, they should have received some subsidies allocated to them by the Party Central Committee, but Han Zhijun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "We old couple can still support themselves now."
It turns out that what she said was to support herself is them Two old people planted some fresh fruits and vegetables in their own yard .
After getting up in the morning every morning, the two of them would go to the countryside to water, fertilize, loosen the soil, etc. At that time, the infrastructure was not perfect, and the watering equipment was not simple. The two elderly people needed to run to a deep well farther to draw a bucket of water to slowly give these crops.
Hua Guofeng
Even though she was so tired, Han Zhijun did not speak to the party organization. Instead, she educated her children: "If you can not trouble the country, you will not trouble the country. Anyway, she is not at the point where she needs the care of the country."
Under the guidance of my mother, several children were also very promising and supported themselves. They never asked for anything based on their identity at home. Just as the family was living in harmony, On August 20, 2008, Comrade Hua passed away in Beijing due to ineffective treatment. Han Zhijun was very sad and cried. Since her husband passed away, Han Zhijun has become more low-key.

On February 8, 2013, President Xi Jinping met Han Zhijun in Great Hall of the People . Later, when many leaders of the Party Central Committee visited Mr. Han’s home, they could also see the four big words "High and Low-key" hanging in the center of her living room. These powerful and powerful words cover Mr. Han’s hard and simple life, and fully demonstrate that she is a qualified Communist because she has devoted her life to practicing these four words.
