As the saying goes: "The grace of dripping water, the fountain of retribution". People will always encounter difficulties in life and need help from others, and for the kindness of the past, we remember it and hope that we can give sincere returns at some point in the future.
Many years in life, some people have not remembered their own hands in their hearts, but the actions at that time may have become a life-saving straw for others, the so-called drinking water thinking about the source, no matter whether we really achieve fame in the future, it is indeed imperative to return the grace of the dripping water.
Our country once had a turbulent era of war, and the social status quo at that time let us know that for many people, as long as they did not fall into the well when you fell, it was already the end of benevolence, how dare they force carbon in the snow?
But in those war years, there was such a person who came to the rescue when others were down, and without hesitation, she was Dong Zhujun. It was this strange woman who had funded a fallen youth 20 years ago, but did not expect that when they met again, this former down-and-out youth had become the commander of the corps.
A generation of businesswomen turned out
Speaking of Dong Zhujun, everyone should also be impressed. Because in that war era, many strange women emerged in China. People like Lin Huiyin, the three sisters of the Song family, Lu Xiaoman and others were all very famous people during the Republic of China.
But in addition, there are some strange women in the business sea, to achieve their own life's career, like Dong Zhujun is a famous strong woman in the Shanghai business community, a rich woman, in Shanghai, a city where the magnates are concentrated, single-handedly established their own career kingdom.
Dong Zhujun was born in a slum, since she was a poor family, her family was forced to make a living and could not fall into the Qinglou when she was 12 years old, becoming a singer who "sells art without selling her body". But even if she fell into such a situation, Dong Zhujun did not give up the hope of life, she was not willing to bury her life here, so she was always looking for an opportunity to escape from such a hell.
Finally, the emperor did not pay off, Dong Zhujun met the revolutionary Xia Shi in the brothel, and knew each other, and finally escaped from this place two years later by illness. After leaving the Qinglou, Dong Zhujun married Xia Shishi and followed Xia Shi to Japan and began to study in Japan.
After graduating from university, Dong Zhujun returned to Chengdu with her husband Xia Shi, who was then the governor of Sichuan, but was dismissed from public office because her husband had lost the wrong side in the factional struggle.
Depressed, he began to smoke opium, and his temper became worse and worse, such a family atmosphere made Dong Zhujun feel suffocated, and finally after five years of separation in 1929, Dong Zhujun divorced Xia Shi in Shanghai as he wished.
After the divorce, Dong Zhujun took his four children, in that era, the divorce also brought children, how difficult life is, needless to say, in order to maintain his livelihood and take care of his children, Dong Zhujun sold his property to start a business.
After years of study and a keen mind, Dong Zhujun successfully founded Jinjiang Chuan Restaurant and Jinjiang Tea Room. With his wisdom, talent and courage, he circled among the various magnates in Shanghai, making them all guests of honor in their own hotels. I also let myself gradually emerge in Shanghai. A generation of strong business women came out of nowhere.
After the liberation of Shanghai, Dong Zhujun donated all his property to the state, leaving only some books and four treasures of literature. Such enlightenment and spirit are enough to prove that this is not an ordinary woman.
The first acquaintance of a close friend for many years
In Dong Zhujun's life, there is a very special friend, he is the founding general Song Shilun, talking about the first acquaintance of the two, it is also lamentable.
Song Shilun was a cadet in the fifth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, because in 1927, when the Kuomintang staged a coup d'état, he became a "suspect" and was arrested and imprisoned in Guangzhou.
After being released from prison after 3 years in prison, but at that time, Song Shilun was penniless, looking around for organization without success, and after being exiled to Shanghai Beach, he met Li Tangcao, an underground party member who was also difficult to friends, and after learning about the situation of Song Shilun, Li Tangcao wrote a letter, asking Song Shilun to take this letter to JinjiangChuan Restaurant to find their boss Dong Zhujun.
At that time, Dong Zhujun had a certain reputation in Shanghai, and many Shanghai magnates would come to her Sichuan restaurant to eat, so when she first met Dong Zhujun, Song Shilun still distrusted her character. For Dong Zhujun, after many years of ups and downs in the mall, she is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and she can see through the idea of Song Shilun at a glance.
But at that time, she did not say anything, and after seeing the introduction letter, she directly gave a bag full of banknotes to Song Shilun. He even cordially asked Song Shilun whether he needed other needs, and it was such a person that made Song Shilun at that time full of hope for the road ahead.
For Dong Zhujun, she never thought that that ragged, penniless, extremely depressed but tough young man in his eyes, after 20 years of separation, they could even have a chance to see each other again.
Meet again, and the fallen becomes a general
"Next year the grass is green, the old people don't look at it", I didn't expect that in the hurried parting of 20 years ago, in 1950, Dong Zhujun and Song Shilun still had a day to see each other.
At that time, after receiving dong Zhujun's sponsorship, Song Shilun, who was cornered, returned to his hometown in Hunan, established a team, fought all the way, grew stronger, and later went to Jinggangshan, joined the tide of revolution, and knew the founding of new China as the team marched south and fought in the north. At that time, Song Shilun was already the commander of the People's Liberation Army Corps and the commander of the Songhu Garrison District.
At the beginning of 1950, as the general manager of the Jin Jiang Hotel, Dong Zhujun was invited to attend the annual meeting of the New Year workers, peasants, and entrepreneurs organized by the Shanghai Municipal Government, and in addition to her old friends, she met the once depressed young Song Shilun.
Song Shilun was very excited to see Dong Zhujun, but Dong Zhujun had gradually forgotten what he had done that year, and when he knew that the commander in front of him was the down-and-out teenager he had helped, Dong Zhujun was also surprised.
This meeting made Song Shilun and Dong Zhujun soon become friends, and Song Shilun took great care of this benefactor who had helped him, and also gave Dong Zhujun the Japanese saber he had captured in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Later, after the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Song Shilun went to the battlefield again, and when he returned to meet Dong Zhujun again, he was already awarded the rank of general.
Many years ago, by chance and the cultivation of feelings in the later period, Dong Zhujun had long regarded this general who held heavy power as a relative, and Song Shilun was also because he was not at ease with the body of his 7-year-old sister, after Dong Zhujun retired from the Jinjiang Hotel, Song Shilun always used the excuse to come to the Dong family to rub rice and visit Dong Zhujun. In this way, a good deed 20 years ago changed the life of Song Shilun and also allowed Dong Zhujun to have a younger brother who was not a relative than a relative.
brief summary:
"Suffering to see the truth" should be said to be a person like Dong Zhujun, in that era of war and wolf smoke, it is already rare to be able to rescue each other, and Dong Zhujun has never asked for any return for his every effort. Such a person, even in today's society, is rare and valuable.
True friends are sometimes not people who accompany you to enjoy, but can help each other when you are down, and stand up in times of danger, such people are friends who deserve our sincere treatment.
