Please give another example of the revolutionary predecessors you know who lived in poverty or frugality.

In history, there are countless stories about thrift at all times and in all countries. Mao Zedong asked others to do it first. He lived a simple life, slept in a hard bed and wore coarse clothes. A nightgown was mended 73 times and worn for 20 years. During the difficult economic times, he took the initiative to reduce his salary and living standard, and did not eat fish or fruit. In the 1960s, once after a meeting before noon, he left everyone for lunch. At the dinner table, he cooked cabbage with a big bowl of meatballs and a few small dishes of pickles, and the staple food was sesame cake. Great men set an example of thrift for China people.

Comrade Zhou Enlai paid great attention to maintaining the style of hard work and plain living. He stipulated that one third of coarse grains should be eaten as the staple food. Wear a pair of cloth soles three times and sew them before wearing them.

1935 1 Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui were arrested on the way to lead the Red Army advance team north to resist Japan according to the report of Fang Zhimin, chairman of the Soviet government. At that time, I caught two of Fang Zhimin's enemies and thought: Such a big official must have a lot of money in his pocket and will make a fortune. As a result, Fang Zhimin was searched all over, and there was nothing but a pen and an old pocket watch. Although Fang Zhimin was in a high position and had great power, he was poor all his life. He thinks that a poor and frugal life is exactly where we revolutionaries can overcome many difficulties.
