Premier Zhou Enlai was one of the founding fathers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the founding father of our country. Everyone knows that premier Zhou Enlai is respected and his virtues are admired. Mr. Zhou Enlai also had a secretary, Song Ping, who was not very famous.
He was a veteran party member, and although he did not participate in the Long March, his status in the party was quite high, and he was also deeply loved by Premier Zhou, and because of his profound academic accumulation and talent.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Song Ping had been cooperating with Premier Zhou. He has been Premier Zhou's secretary since 1953. He was only 40 years old at the time, the youngest cadre in the party.
In 1989, he was a state cadre. Despite his high position, Song Ping was never praised, never put up a cadre shelf, and lived a frugal and industrious life. He was not only himself, but also very strict with his children, and his son's living allowance was only enough for his daily bread.
Song Ping's frugal attitude towards his son made Song Ping's classmates think that he was a child of a poor family.
"People thought my family was too poor and ragged," Mr. Song's son later recalled when he was a student. My father only paid for food every month. Sometimes I forget to pay for my meals. Sometimes I have to borrow a meal voucher from my classmates. ”
Once, Song Ping rode a horse with his son, and Song Ping ordered his son to buy tickets and taught him not to take advantage of the country because of his status.
When Song Ping's daughter-in-law was looking for a job, Song Ping did not help at all. She just let her think it through for herself.
Mr. Song Ping is a personable secretary at Mr. Zhou's side, and there are many people who want to please him. Mr. Song Ping never paid attention to them, nor did he accept favors from others.
When Song Ping was Premier Zhou's secretary, Premier Zhou often asked Song Ping to report to Mao Zedong. It can be seen that Premier Zhou trusts Song Ping very much, and Song Ping also admires Premier Zhou very much, taking Premier Zhou as an example.
Song Ping tirelessly studied Mr. Zhou's meticulous and responsible spirit, always regarded himself very highly, and never proudly became Mr. Zhou Enlai's secretary.
Song Ping has never advocated a high-profile life, he retired, rarely appeared in public, and lived a peaceful life in Beijing, living a life of ordinary people.
Chen Yun, Yao Yilin, and Song Ping talked
As such a senior leader, no one knows his exact date of birth, only the month of Song Ping's birth, and Song Ping is very low-key, he never tells anyone his own birthday, not his own birthday, because he does not want to get into trouble, does not want to be disturbed by gifts.
Song Ping lived in an ordinary courtyard house in Beijing, and like other old people, he read books, read newspapers, drank tea, and walked every day.
