Introduction: The Chinese who print their heads on foreign banknotes have single-handedly saved the entire national economy
Some time ago, China issued a new renminbi, printing the head of Grandpa Mao on the renminbi, in fact, not only China, many countries are printing the head of the founding head of state on their own banknotes, but today Xiaobian wants to tell you about the exception, he is Chinese, but his own avatar is printed on foreign banknotes, this person's name is Zhu Meilin, and this country is Mauritius in Africa, what is the matter? Let's take a look.
Zhu Meilin ancestral home is Guangdong Meizhou, his father's name is Zhu Weixun, is a very simple farmer, the family is also relatively poor, late Qing, when the British came to Guangzhou docks to recruit workers, at this time Mauritius is a British colony, because of the climate here, here planted a lot of sugar cane, so Zhu Meilin's father came to Maurice to ask, when Zhu Weixun's idea was very simple, work here, and then earn some money back to China, but for some reason, he failed to return to China.
Zhu Meilin was born in Maurice in 1911, his father was afraid that he would forget that he was a Chinese, when he was very young, he sent him to learn traditional Chinese Confucian culture, Zhu Meilin studied business taoism when he was 20 years old, and founded the ABC retail store with the support of his father, so he became a well-known local upstart with keen market judgment and extraordinary courage, and later the Japanese invasion of China broke out in China, during which he was in a foreign country, but he did not forget that he was a Chinese boy.
At that time, he contacted overseas Chinese in Mauritius, calling on everyone to donate money to support the national war of resistance, and he took the lead in donating money, and later he also organized everyone to form a Chinese land defense team, and gathered a large number of Chinese people to return to China to fight the war, after the victory of the War of Resistance, the British empress at that time personally received her, he was awarded a knighthood, and he became the Leader of the Chinese in Maurice, and the scenery was infinite for a while.
Although Zhu Meilin was born in a foreign country, he has always followed his father's education method in the education of his children, and his daughter Zhu Zhijun studied in the Department of Foreign Languages of National Taiwan University, served as the ambassador of Mauritius to China after graduation, and has been living in China in his later years.
Zhu Meilin died of illness in 1991, and the Mauritian government, in recognition of Zhu Meilin's great contribution to Mauritius, printed zhu Meilin's head on the 25-rupee bill issued by the country in 1998, and in this way, Zhu Meilin became the first and so far only Chinese who printed his surrender on foreign banknotes.
