Everyone knows that Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei was the technical backbone in the engineering army and also participated in National Science Conference in 1978. The leaders of the army also valued him very much. So why did Ren Zhengfei transfer his career during the Seventh Major Disarmament in 1982?

Is Ren Zhengfei not like military life? Is it the selected list of the seventh major disarmament? Actually, none of them. Just because people have ordinary times, Ren Zhengfei is also a loving father. I have to say that if Ren Zhengfei had not chosen to change his career back then, today wouldn’t be the Huawei company that everyone likes.

Today, Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, who just celebrated his birthday, is already 78 years old. The low-key Ren Zhengfei has stood in front of the Taiwan market in recent years to resist the United States' suppression of Huawei, which has made everyone understand more about his personality charm and courage. Many people are full of admiration and admiration for him. But back then, Ren Zhengfei was also troubled by both career and family.
In 1967, Ren Zhengfei had just graduated from Chongqing Institute of Architectural Engineering and encountered the most turbulent moment of the Cultural Revolution. Ren Zhengfei was waiting for work assignment and resolutely chose to enlist in the army. In the army, Ren Zhengfei is a technical elite and backbone talent, and is highly valued by the leaders. He quickly stood out and finally became a regiment-level leader.

But because his father was mistakenly labeled as "resource-taking" and "stinking old ninth" during the "Cultural Revolution", the leader only liked it. Ren Zhengfei did not receive a formal commendation in the army. It was not until the "Gang of Four" was smashed in 1976, and Ren Zhengfei joined the party, and Ren Zhengfei's military career also entered the "golden age". This year, Ren Zhengfei was 32 years old.

In the face of career, what you can't take care of is the family. At this time, Ren Zhengfei already had two children, Meng Wanzhou and Ren Ping, but because he often followed Ren Zhengfei and had no place to live due to the transfer of work needs, the academic performance of both children was not satisfactory, especially Meng Wanzhou.

When Meng Wanzhou was in junior high school, Ren Zhengfei felt that his child could no longer run around with him, so he asked his grandmother to take Meng Wanzhou and Ren Ping to his hometown Guizhou to study. However, due to the lack of the company of his parents, his two children's academic performance was even worse than before.
According to Ren Zhengfei's recollection, Meng Wanzhou once said to him like this: "Dad, if I can't get into college, you must be responsible for my future"! On the one hand, it is the "golden moment" of his personal career in the army, and on the other hand, it is the education of his children, which put Ren Zhengfei in a dilemma and self-blame.

This time, the seventh major disarmament of the entire army, and the leader is ready to deploy Ren Zhengfei to a military scientific research unit. On the one hand, he likes military life and on the other hand, the family he cares about. After careful consideration, Ren Zhengfei decided to give the opportunity to his comrades, chose to transfer his career, and with a unique perspective, he chose Shenzhen where "spring thunder boomed".

So, everyone has an ordinary side, and my father is also the most kind and great person in the world. Family affection is undoubtedly the most precious emotion.
Of course, people with ability can shine anywhere. In the end, Ren Zhengfei made his children and made Huawei. Some people may also say that if Ren Zhengfei chose to stay in the army, he might have achieved another extraordinary achievement? That is another possibility.
