The "filial piety" should be analyzed. The older generation has nurtured us, so we should support them. --Zhou Enlai

Respect for teachers, filial piety to elders

Zhou Enlai was a young man with great ambition. Perhaps you are curious to know how he treated his teachers at school? And how did he treat his parents at home? Today, we will tell you a story about Zhou Enlai's respect for teachers and elders.

The Model of Respecting Teachers

Respecting teachers is a manifestation of human civilization and social progress, and is a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. Zhou Enlai said, "Promote teachers to love and care for their students, students to respect their teachers, and develop a good school spirit of friendship and solidarity between teachers and students and among classmates." Zhou Enlai teach by example, respect teachers in school, when the position is high, not forgetting the teacher, is a model of respect for teachers.

First of all, tell a story of Zhou Enlai honoring an elementary school teacher. As mentioned earlier, Fengtian Dongguan Model School has a high Goguo teacher, is a native of Shandong. He was wanted for anti-Qing struggle in Jinan Higher School and exiled to Northeast China, and was a patriot and revolutionary. Teacher Gao teaching is very serious, especially whenever he tells the story of China's outstanding sons and daughters of patriotism, he is always impassioned, tearful, y touched the hearts of every student, to Zhou Enlai's great influence. Zhou Enlai participated in the revolution, once, foreign journalists in Yan'an asked him how he embarked on the path of revolution. He replied, "When I was a teenager studying in Shenyang, I was taught and encouraged by Mr. Gao Panzhi (i.e., Gao Gogo) of Shandong, which was a great promotion for me." This kind of gratitude to teachers, through thick and thin and growing day by day.

In 1950, Zhou Enlai learned that Mr. Gao's son, Mr. Gao Zhaofu, returned to Jinan from Taiwan, and immediately sent his family to Beijing, where he couldn't wait to inquire about Mr. Gao's whereabouts. When he learned that Mr. Gao had died in 1940, he was silent for a long time, into a deep remembrance. Zhou Enlai said emotionally, "Without Mr. Gao's teaching, I would not have today." Then he asked Gao Zhaofu: "Did Mr. Gao leave a photo?" Gao Zhaofu replied, "Only a one-inch one, already yellowed." Zhou Enlai to Gao Zhaofu asked for this photo, let the photographer for remake, and then enlarged into two 12-inch, one of which he stayed with him, the other framed, back to Gao Zhaofu. Later, when it was learned that the high teacher's wife, his own mother's health is not good, he also entrusted to the mother to send 50 yuan, and from the state supply to his own consumption plan to buy a catty of sugar to the mother. 1962, high teacher's mother died of illness, zhou enlai wrote to the high Zhaofu couple: "shocked to learn that the teacher's mother died of illness ... ... Zhou Enlai wrote to Mr. and Mrs. Gao Zhaofu, "Surprised to learn of the death of my mother, I ... I wish to express my condolences, pay attention to my health and work hard. I am sending you a funeral subsidy of 100 yuan." Zhou Enlai as a country's premier, a teacher in elementary school expressed such sincere feelings, how can this deep love is not touching!

Below, we tell another story of Zhou Enlai's respect for a principal in secondary school. in August 1913, Zhou Enlai went from the northeast to Tianjin Nankai School, after studying, and met a new group of teachers, including the principal, Zhang Boling, with whom he formed a lifelong teacher-student relationship.

After Zhou Enlai was admitted to Nankai School in Tianjin, he was admired by many classmates and loved by teachers because of his excellent character and learning, and was also valued by the principal, Zhang Borying. During his stay in Nankai, Zhou Enlai's family was in difficulty, so Nankai, as a private school, made an exception and exempted him from paying tuition and miscellaneous fees. When Zhou Enlai studied abroad, President Zhang gave him support and financial assistance. During Zhou Enlai's study in Japan, President Zhang, who had returned from his study tour across the ocean, made a special detour to Japan to visit Zhou Enlai and other students. Zhou Enlai has never forgotten such a good principal.

In December 1938, the country **** cooperation against Japan, Zhou Enlai, Zhang Borying and other people came to Chongqing, Zhou Enlai served as deputy minister of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the National Government. Zhang Boring lived in Chongqing Shapingba Nanyu Middle School (i.e., Chongqing Nankai Middle School) in the village of Jinnan, Zhou Enlai often went to visit Principal Zhang when he had time. Whenever the birthday of the principal Zhang, he and Deng Yingchao together, holding flowers to the teacher to wish him a happy birthday. Once, Zhou Enlai's old classmate in Nankai, Zhang Lisheng, a member of the Kuomintang who also served as deputy minister of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the National Government, also went to visit Principal Zhang. They talked for a while, see the playground side of a ride on a slippery pole (sedan chair), the two students let the principal Zhang sat on the slippery pole, and then lifted up in the playground around twice, the principal Zhang happy like what. The next day, the news media in Chongqing reported on the incident, "State **** two ministers, cooperation to lift the principal."

On the eve of liberation, Zhang Boring served as president of the KMT Examination Yuan. Before the KMT fled to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek asked him to accompany him to Taiwan. Zhou Enlai through the Nankai alumni in Hong Kong in the name of "John Doe" to Zhang Boling a letter, conveying the "old classmate Feifei hope that the old principal not to move" message. "Feifei" was Zhou Enlai's pen name when he was a student at Nankai. After getting this message, Zhang Bo Ling realized that this was the student Zhou Enlai's love and care for him, and made up his mind to reject Chiang Kai-shek's repeated requests to persuade him to go to Taiwan. He used "old age and illness", "can not take the plane" and other excuses, and finally stayed in the mainland, ushered in the liberation of Chongqing and the birth of a new China.

After the founding of New China, on May 3, 1950, under the care of Zhou Enlai, President Zhang took the plane from Chongqing to Beijing. Zhou Enlai, busy with state affairs, specially sent his administrative secretary He Qian to meet the plane. When Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were received at the home of the patriotic general Fu Zuoyi before they were seated, Zhou Enlai rushed to visit the principal. Zhou Enlai was in Beijing for four months, and he visited him almost every Sunday, and on February 23, 1951, he died in Tianjin of an illness. When Zhou Enlai got the news, he immediately rushed from Beijing to his home to salute the remains of President Zhang and asked with concern about the funeral arrangements. Zhou Enlai said, "I regret that I did not come earlier to see Principal Zhang." Zhang Boling's memorial service was held at Nankai Girls' High School, where Zhou Enlai personally served as chairman of the mourning committee and officiated. He presented a wreath to Principal Zhang, with the inscription "Master Burling is a thousand years old, and his student Zhou Enlai salutes him". The friendship between them has always been a beautiful story.

Role model of respect for the elderly

As a son of man, y nurtured by his parents, respect, support and filial piety to parents is an obligation, is a vocation, but also the traditional virtues of the Chinese people. Zhou Enlai once taught young people: "To 'filial piety' should be analyzed. The older generation once nurtured us as we grew up, and we should support them." Zhou Enlai's own words and deeds for us to set an example of filial piety and respect for elders.

Zhou Enlai's father, Zhou Yineng, was loyal and generous, and he was unlucky in his life, only doing things like being a teacher in a family school, a small government employee, and often unemployed because he couldn't find a job. As a result, the old man was unable to raise his three children, even though he had been traveling and working hard for many years. Although Zhou Enlai was succeeded by his younger uncle Zhou Yijian when he was less than a week old, his biological father Zhou Yineng still had a deep love for Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai was also very filial to his biological father. As a child, Zhou Enlai was very sympathetic to his father's difficult situation, and at the age of ten or so, he took on the family burden of taking care of his two younger brothers living together. After he left Huai'an to study in Northeast China and Tianjin, his second brother, En Pu, was left unchecked and mischievous all the time, and Zhou Enlai wrote a letter to his thirteenth uncle, saying, "Seven years of neglect, the blame lies with my father and brother," consciously expressing that he should bear the responsibility of failing to educate En Pu, just as his own father did. Until the spring of 1910, Zhou Enlai was called by his uncle Zhou Yigeng, brought to the northeast by his cousin Zhou Yikian, only to meet with his father in Tieling, and had a short period of father's pain and son's filial piety.

After that, it was seven years of separation. When he returned to Japan in 1918 to Beijing for the summer vacation, father and son were able to reunite again. On August 27 of this year, Zhou Enlai in his father's departure from Beijing to the south, wrote down his "most sad" a diary: "This morning, my father to four o'clock line, to Nanjing. Yesterday's sadness is not yet over, this day and again to say goodbye to strict relatives.' This situation, I do not know how difficult, and then far away from my favorite friend, sadness, no longer have words!" And, from this day onwards, Zhou Enlai has been missing his father, even thought of two months did not keep a diary. Two months later, he put pen to paper and wrote: "The heart of this injury, the actual experience of two months, whenever the moon and evening wind morning, rain window before the flowers, my heart's idea of my family!"

Zhou Enlai into the revolution, was hunted by the Kuomintang reactionaries and wanted, nine deaths. Even in that sinister and difficult struggle environment, when in Shanghai to learn that his elderly father living difficulties, he also managed to let his father quietly live with himself. Until 1938, when the country **** cooperated in the war, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Zhou Enlai as the Vice Minister of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the National Government, conferring him the rank of Lieutenant General and giving him the treatment of a general. In this way, his life was much more stable than before. Although he was busy with national affairs, he still thought of his old father who had no one to depend on, and purposely asked his father to roll over from Tianjin to Wuhan via Huai'an to be reunited with him. On the day his father arrived at Hankou by ship, Zhou Enlai was attending a meeting of the All-China Literary and Artistic Society against the Enemy in Wuhan. When it was his turn to speak, Zhou Enlai said with deep emotion and tears in his eyes, "Excuse me, because my old father will be in Hankou at ten o'clock tonight. The violent enemy has caused us to suffer losses and misfortunes, and the violent enemy has also forced my old father to come south, life and death, all because of the invasion of the violent enemy! Life and death are all due to the aggression of the enemy! Farewell!" The participants sent Zhou Enlai out of the meeting with applause. Zhou Enlai these words full of emotion, expressed his resentment of the Japanese invaders and his deep respect for his father.

During the four years in Chongqing, Zhou Enlai knew that his father loved to drink, and he accompanied his father to drink a few cups of wine whenever he had a spare moment. He also told his father, "You're too old to drink too much. If you drink too much, not only will you hurt yourself, but you will also need others to take care of you. There are fewer people in our office, and everyone is busier."

In June 1942, Zhou Enlai went to the Geleshan Central Hospital for surgery for a hernia. At the same time, his father also fell ill with malaria. When Deng Yingchao wrote to tell Zhou Enlai old man sick, hospitalized in the hospital, Zhou Enlai was very concerned, he wrote back to Deng Yingchao said, "Dad's symptoms, in addition to malaria, it is appropriate to pay attention to his advanced age, physical strength, but he is excessively fond of drinking, it is inevitable that there is no internal deficit. So the main cure for him, must first clear internal fire, eliminate food accumulation, sleep. Eat things also need to pay attention to digestion and nutrition, such as cow's milk, soy milk, rice soup, cookies and so on, hanging noodles can not eat". It can be said that he had a better understanding of his father's health condition. However, something unfortunate finally happened: on the night of July 10, during Zhou Enlai's hospitalization, his father suddenly suffered a stroke and died. This made Deng Yingchao very difficult: if this unfortunate news directly tell Zhou Enlai, he just had surgery, his body is still recovering, and everyone knows that he is a great filial son, how can he bear it? If you don't tell him, how can you not let your own son know about such a big thing?

In Deng Yingchao difficult time, Dong Biwu (then deputy secretary of the South Bureau of the Central ****) stepped forward to convene a meeting of the leadership of the South Bureau, in order to allow Zhou Enlai to recover health as soon as possible, decided not to tell the news of his father's death to Zhou Enlai, but also deliberately let the child Xiaopeng, Wu Kejian to the hospital face to face Zhou Enlai lied that the old man Zhou Enlai disease has been improved. Zhou Enlai also believed. However, things delayed until July 12, just as Zhou Enlai wrote to Deng Yingchao said "heard dad gradually recovered, very assured", Zhou Enlai's hospital room, two unexpected things happened: First, the nurse Miss with tape on the wall of the vase suddenly fell to the ground and broke. But Zhou Enlai did not think badly of it, because he was about to be discharged from the hospital, so he even wrote two lines of a poem: "I have been cured of the disease, people go, flowers withered and broken vase good to go home". Secondly, every day to him to deliver the newspaper boy in the afternoon to him to deliver the newspaper, because of the age of young, or he did not know the inside story, off the cuff to Zhou Enlai said: "warehouse old master (Zhou Enlai's father, Zhou Yineng then in the Eighth Route Army office in Chongqing under the work of the warehouse of the lower Touwan) because of the pendulum (i.e., suffering from malaria) died, are now busy with the aftermath." Zhou Enlai heard immediately distracted up, suspecting that people are hiding this big event from him. So, he ignored the weakness of the body after the disease, in the case of not getting permission to leave the hospital, early return to the red rock mountain.

Zhou Enlai returned to the "home", finally realized that his father had died three days. He collapsed on the ground in grief, cried loudly, tears, and to Deng Yingchao angry: "Why did you hide such a big thing from me?" He then ignored his frail body and held a wake for his father until dawn, and called Mao Zedong and the Central Committee, "I realized after my return that my father had died of illness, and I was so grieved that I held a grudge for the rest of my life." He also posted an obituary for his father's death in Chongqing's Xinhua Daily. This is so far the only one of our party leaders who has published an obituary in a newspaper for his father's death, expressing Zhou Enlai's inheritance of the traditional Chinese virtue of filial piety for one's son. After that, Zhou Enlai took a photo of his father in Chongqing with him until 1976, when he died, people cleaned up his belongings, only from the pocket of his jacket to find this photo with Zhou Enlai's handwriting on the back of the four words of "father's portrait".

Next, we will talk about Zhou Enlai's love for his mother. Zhou Enlai's birth mother, stepmother and breastfeeding mother, as well as his aunt, cousin aunt, Zhou Enlai are dedicated to love, a lifetime in mind.

His birth mother, Wan, was not only good-looking, but also good at housekeeping. The young Zhou Enlai was in her warm swaddling clothes grew up day by day. Although less than a year old, Wan's Zhou Enlai passed to Chen's, but the mother and son love is really the world's most primitive and the most sacred feelings, is any force can not be separated, cut. Zhou Enlai later said fondly, "My birth mother was kind and gentle. I learned from her the virtues of kindness, tolerance and generosity. My birth mother was a bright person, so my character has this part of her. It is evident that Zhou Enlai's nostalgia for his birth mother is so sincere!

The stepmother, Chen, had a great influence on Zhou Enlai's growth, and it can be said that Zhou Enlai spent his childhood at Chen's knee. Before Chen's death, mother and son were hardly separated for a day. During this time, it was the initial stage of Zhou Enlai's life, and his stepmother's every word and action directly affected the formation of his character and the improvement of his education. Her affection for her stepmother was even greater than that of her biological mother, and she called her mother "mother" and her biological mother "godmother". on January 2, 1918, Zhou Enlai was studying in Japan, and during the day he was very busy with his studies and friendships; late at night, after seeing off his friends, he took out a poem from his mother that he had brought along. (over stepmother Chen's) poems, burning incense meditation, tears to write down a diary to commemorate the tenth anniversary of his mother's death:

I brought my mother's handwritten poems to open the book to read a few times, burned a good incense, sit in silence for a while, feel very hard in the heart. That tears can not help but flow down. Calculating the years when my mother wrote the poem, 26 years from now, when my mother was only 15 years old, still in my grandmother's house. I think that time is easy to pass, the ink is still there, the mother has died 10 years, I do not know still think that I have this son did not.

This diary word by word, line by line, Zhou Enlai's deep nostalgia for Chen's mother jumped off the page.

In 1950, Zhou Enlai in Beijing Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall for the senior leading cadres and part of the party outside the mobilization of land reform off report, very emotional, said: "In 1946, Chiang Kai-shek returned to Nanjing, I also followed to Nanjing. Nanjing is very close to my hometown Huai'an, only more than 300 miles, and I would like to go back to see it, because Huai'an still has the graves of my two mothers." He said here, weeping, which shows how y he misses his mother.

Yang is Zhou Enlai's first aunt, a lifetime of poverty and suffering. Zhou Enlai was ten years old, to start the housekeeper, go out to socialize; his biological mother, stepmother has died, biological father, uncle are in the field to make a living, uncle Yikui paralyzed in bed, Yang became his actual guardian. Although Zhou Enlai was the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, he was, after all, a ten-year-old child, and Yang always tried her best to love and care for him. Therefore, Zhou Enlai never forgot this aunt in his life. Before the Japanese invaders invaded the two Huaihuai (Huaiyin and Huai'an), Zhou Enlai notified the Huaibei District Party Committee to receive his aunt to the countryside in the Linji District of Huaibao County (now Chuzhou District), in order to prevent her from being tragically poisoned by the Japanese.

As soon as the new China was founded, Zhou Enlai asked his aunt to go to Beijing to live with him. Aunt to Beijing, busy Zhou Enlai deliberately use the rare Sunday, and Deng Yingchao accompanied his aunt to visit the Summer Palace, but also on the boat to personally give her paddle. When his aunt was not accustomed to the life in Beijing, Zhou Enlai sent his guard Wang Yubo to send his aunt back to Huai'an. Later, when his aunt fell ill, he wrote three letters to the leaders of Huai'an County, expressing his concern for her condition. One letter was written by Premier Zhou Enlai to the county People's Committee on October 29, 1956: "A few days ago, I received a letter from the county people's hospital, knowing that my aunt's illness had recently recurred again, and Tao Hua (Yang's daughter-in-law) wrote to say that you often send people to visit and give treatment, and thanked you for your kind concern and care. ...... is sending RMB 200 yuan for treatment and funeral expenses. If it is not enough, please advance the money first and write to me afterward to explain the payment situation, and I will make up the money." Another letter was sent by the Premier's office to the comrade-in-charge of the county People's Committee on March 13, 1957: "The aftercare expenses of the Premier's aunt (referring to the aunt, the same as the following - editor's note) after her death last year, please mail the bills of expenses to my office to present to the Premier, who said that he would remit them to you by his payroll deduction. " There is also a letter from Premier Zhou to the County People's Committee on April 19, 1957: "Letter received, over the past few years you have taken care of my aunt's care and concern, especially during her illness, hospitalization and treatment for her health, hospitalization and treatment, it does add a lot of trouble to you, this time I would like to express my gratitude to you. My aunt's family existing Tao Hua and other people, the future of her living expenses are sent by me here, please the local government of her do not give further care. I am sending you $25.00 of the advance owed for the expenses of burying my aunt, please check." After the death of his aunt, he quickly sent to the Huai'an side of the medical and funeral expenses, the aunt's old age is very thoughtful, devoted to the filial piety of the nephew.

Respect for teachers is a code of conduct that every teenager should follow. The ancients said: "Born at the time and the earth to generate wealth, people whose fathers were born and teachers to teach." It means that the movement of the celestial body produces the change of seasons, the earth produces material wealth, and parents give birth to children, who are taught by their teachers. Every progress of the students, every little achievement, are condensed with the teacher's hard work and dedication. It is no exaggeration to say that without the teachings of teachers, there will be no growth and career of each person, there will be no social progress and national prosperity. Ancient people also said: "filial piety is the first of all good deeds", meaning that only by first doing filial piety and respect for parents can we talk about other social morals. Therefore, filial piety and respect for parents, respect for the elderly, since ancient times has become the most basic moral norms of people in the world. Parents have nurtured us, is the most loving people, and is our first teacher, so children filial piety and respect for parents is natural and rightful, and to extend it to respect all elders. As the saying goes, without the old, there will be no young, without the old man's struggles and creations of yesteryear, there will be no wealth and progress of today's society. In this day and age, respect for teachers, filial piety and respect for elders "filial piety" is not only not out of date, but also in the reform and opening up, the development of socialist market economy under the conditions to carry forward. To respect teachers, we must accept their teaching, learn from them about good morals and science and culture, and be courteous to them; to honor our elders, we must listen to the correct teaching of our parents and elders, listen to and reflect on their correct opinions, accept the supervision of our parents or elders in accordance with the provisions of the law, and show care, concern, and consideration for our parents and elders. Never in the new situation, can not withstand the temptation, can not resist erosion, "one year soil, two years foreign, three years do not recognize teachers and parents." As young people, especially to remember the teachings of Zhou Enlai, Zhou Enlai as an example, from childhood to develop a respect for teachers, respect for elders of good character, so that the traditional virtues of the Chinese people from generation to generation, to build a harmonious society to make its due contribution.
