In Qiyang, Hunan Province, there is such a poor peasant family. The child's father died early, and the mother alone could not support the two children to study. What to do? According to the most common method, it can only be to give up one child and devote himself to the study of another child.
After weighing it up, the mother decided to sacrifice her brother, so that his brother would give up the opportunity to study and sell firewood to work as a coolie to earn money for his brother to study. According to the most normal logic, everyone will definitely say that in the future, this brother will have more than his younger brother. Reading and studying is the right way, the king's way.
This time, however, everyone was really wrong. Both brothers later embarked on the revolutionary road and worked for the Party. Many years later, the older brother who studied became a traitor to the revolution, while the younger brother who sold coolies for his brother to study became the vice premier of new China.
Well, don't sell Guanzi anymore, the older brother is called Tao Ziqiang, and the younger brother is called Tao Zhu. It is undeniable that Tao Ziqiang read better than his brother, so his mother chose him to continue his studies. However, Tao Ziqiang is self-reliant, but he is not self-reliant, and he has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, he has a cowardly personality and lacks the hard bones of manhood.
And the younger brother Tao Zhu? In order to provide for his brother's education, he did the hardest work, and his brother could eat white rice, but he could only drink radish tassel soup at home. What kind of soup is this? In fact, it is a thin soup, which cannot be filled at all. Mencius's so-called bitter heart, hard work, the more difficult life, but the more he honed Tao Zhu's strong will, he gradually grew into a man who was not afraid of heaven, a great husband.
Later, Tao Zhu also left his home, was admitted to the Huangpu Fifth Phase, embarked on the road of revolution, participated in the Nanchang Uprising and the Guangzhou Uprising, organized and led the "Xiamen Prison Robbery", rescued a large number of party members and comrades, caused a sensation in the whole country, and became an outstanding revolutionary.
What about brother Tao Ziqiang? He also joined the Party and participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising. The two brothers added a piece and participated in the three famous uprisings led by our Party, and the brothers were not divided. Later, Tao Ziqiang was sent to the White Zone to do underground party work and was unfortunately arrested.
For a revolutionary, arrest, or even bloody sacrifice, is commonplace. Tao Zhu was later arrested, and in prison he continued to revolutionize and fight, and Tao Zhu struggled in prison for four long years.
However, Tao Ziqiang was afraid, he was afraid that the enemy would torture him, he was afraid of bloody sacrifice, he defected, he became a traitor to the revolution. Tao Ziqiang's essence is not bad, the rebellion is only to survive, did not betray his comrades, he became the county magistrate of the Kuomintang.
After decades of bloody storms and decades of sword and light, the revolution has triumphed, and Tao Zhu has become a mature revolutionary, he is the deputy director of the Political Department of the Fourth Field Army, who followed the Four Wilds Army to the south in a mighty way, and later served as the secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Cpc Committee, vice premier, and member of the Politburo Standing Committee.
What about Tao Ziqiang? He was also wise, and at the last moment, decisively declared an uprising, and then became the principal of the middle school in his hometown. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tao Zhu returned to his hometown, and the first person to visit was his brother Tao Ziqiang, and the moment the two brothers met, there was no accusation or criticism.
Tao Zhu said a word to his brother, you are not suitable to be a principal, this will mislead people's children, you still want to be a Language teacher. Tao Ziqiang had good academic performance and good literary style, so Tao Zhu thought that he was suitable for teaching and being a Chinese teacher, but not for a principal.
