The figure mentioned today is actually quite admirable, he has engaged in many occupations, went to the countryside as a young intellectual, also served as a soldier, and even taught at a military academy, and later entered the political circles because of the opportunity, and gradually became a vice mayor, just when the mayor's letter of appointment was issued, he resolutely chose to go to the sea to do business, but he did not expect that he finally made a choice, taking all his wealth to open a museum.
Friends called him a "fool", and some people said that he was a dreamer and a doer, but born into a military family, he had a wolf nature unique to soldiers throughout his life.
In 1957, Fan Jianchuan was born in Yibin, Sichuan Province, an ordinary military family, from an early age his father cultivated his stoic character, because of his father's influence, Fan Jianchuan was very bold in what he did, and never cowardly.
When he graduated from high school, Fan Jianchuan in order to respond to the call of the state, went to the countryside to become a young man, in the past two years he has been starved more than once because of lack of food, but no matter how hard life is, he will not go home, it is because of this stubbornness, let him take root in the countryside, this kind of field planting and all kinds of agricultural work is proficient.
However, at that time, the productivity of the commune was not high, even if it was a day of hard work, there was only a few minutes of income, but this also stimulated the wolf nature in Fan Jianchuan's bones, he once mentioned in an interview that the commune only issued a spoonful of oil every month, and as a result, he swallowed the oil directly every time, and then in the next few days, he ate dry pot vegetables, as the name suggests, that is, to burn the pot red, pour the vegetables into the fry, without a little oil and water.
At the age of 19, Fan Jianchuan was rated as an advanced individual because of his outstanding performance, so he also had the opportunity to enter the army, and just when he happily submitted his application, there were some twists and turns in the middle, because there were too many people with better physical qualities than him.
But Fan Jianchuan was not discouraged, he played all the instruments in front of the commander, and finally the chief took a fancy to his stubbornness and made an exception to let him enter the army.
Fan Jianchuan was sent to the frontier again, and in his military career, it was rare to take a bath several times a year, and later in the face of this time, he always said lightly that there were more lice and no itch.
When the state resumed the college entrance examination, Fan Jianchuan gave up the opportunity to become a company commander and chose to fight for the only enrollment quota in the whole army.
During his tenure, he published his own papers in a number of authoritative magazines, and because of his good teaching, every time he went to class, his classroom was overcrowded, at that time the teacher's profession was an iron rice bowl, nothing else, at least to ensure that food and clothing were worry-free, but Fan Jianchuan realized that his value was far more than teaching and educating people, and he wanted to do more practical things for the people, so he quit his job again and went to the civil service examination.
Because of his early experience, he honed Fan Jianchuan's down-to-earth and capable and bloodless personality, he often accompanied the leaders to work at the grassroots level, and he appeared in every factory building in Yibin that year, but he did not feel tired, but enjoyed it.
In less than a year, Fan Jianchuan was promoted to executive vice mayor of Yibin City at once, when he was only 34 years old.
In an experience activity, the leader talked to Fan Jianchuan and wanted him to become mayor, but Fan Jianchuan lost sleep at night, not because he was happy, but because he felt that the mayor's salary was not enough to support his favorite hobbies, so after a night of deliberation, he decided to quit his job as vice mayor and go to the sea to do business.
After partnering with a friend to open a real estate company, Fan Jianchuan took all the loans and took his family to go around, and his daughter could only sleep on the sofa that year, although the house did not sell well, Fan Jianchuan was still struggling to insist.
Fortunately, the state introduced a new policy, announcing that the country's houses are mainly commercial housing, and all units will no longer supply welfare housing, after which Fan Jianchuan's career ushered in the spring, but even so, he also abided by the original intention, strictly controlled the quality, in the 08 Wenchuan earthquake, his house rarely had problems, and there were people who pulled banners to thank him.
After the soaring value, Fan Jianchuan began to think about the meaning of life, because when he was a child, he liked to collect newspapers and magazines, and when he grew up, he began to love some old objects with years, every time he passed some old cities, he would always look around the garbage point to see what old items were, pick up some old objects, whether worth it or not, he would take it home to wipe carefully, and then sort the items in a special cabinet, over time, some people mistakenly thought that he was picking up the rags.
Probably because he was born in a military family, Fan Jianchuan is fond of some old objects from the Anti-Japanese War period, especially after making money in real estate, he will not hesitate to invest in this hobby.
In 2001, when he went to the anti-Japanese exhibition hall to participate in the exhibition, 14 pieces of the collection he brought with him were identified as first-class cultural relics, in order to realize his dream, Fan Jianchuan made up his mind, he wanted to build a museum, in his words, a nation needs to have its own memory, history can not be forgotten, for these, Fan Jianchuan sold his family property, bought 500 acres of land in one go, and began the preparatory work.
Up to now, Fan Jianchuan has built no less than 50 museums, and the museum has collected tens of millions of anti-war cultural relics, of which 30 tons of handwritten materials and more than 8 million collections.
In Fan Jianchuan's museum, there are more than 400 first-class cultural relics alone, and its value is as high as more than 8 billion, and Fan Jianchuan made a will for this purpose, and after his death, the museum was handed over to the state.
In an interview with reporters, he said: I only do all this out of a Chinese should do, the memory of the nation, we can not lose.
