Born on March 23, 1939 on the banks of the Miluo River, in the small village of Jinwoyuan Dazhongping, his father's surname was Berlin, and he was the descendant of a farmer who had worked hard for generations to practice: "the hoe stands firmly, and the farming is the foundation". Since childhood, he has been diligent and studious; he has worked as an agricultural worker, is honest and proud, and is helpful. Winter to spring, through vicissitudes, bumpy life, but he has a personal style like his name: like a green pine cypress like a broad mind and integrity. The Slovaks have gone, meditating and reminiscing, those dusty past events of childhood are vivid and fresh, and the mark of my father's dedication, dedication, friendliness, and love is engraved in my heart, and it is still so vivid and unforgettable for a long time...
I am the eldest son of my father, weak and sickly when I was young, the old man has a pulse: malnutrition, to clear the heat and detoxification, strong foundation and solidity; fortune teller measurement: belongs to the eight characters of the birthday of the house, only the inheritance can save health. Therefore, when I was less than two years old, I passed on to the great aunt of the Yu family house in the same village, and changed my name to my father as my uncle. When my childhood happened to be in the difficult period of food shortage in urban and rural areas, people were hungry and puffy, and my uncle always tried every means and went through hardships, often sending me all kinds of food to supplement my nutrition: there were crucian carp that were fished for personal fishing; there were rice silkworms in the county moon pond and salt vegetable buckwheat buns in Iron Furnace Lane; and chestnut biscuits produced by Rong Baozhai in the county town, which were very tight at that time... At the same time, as long as he has a slightly better dish at home, he will definitely pick me up for a good meal.
I remember once after eating a relatively "sumptuous dinner" in his old house in Xiuyeping, I packed up and stopped, and my father sent me home, he always liked to let me "ride a big horse" on his shoulders, grabbed my separated feet with both hands, let me hold his head tightly with my small hands, along the country lanes under the stars and moonlight, talking endlessly while walking, and communicating with me in ancient scriptures: According to the folk ancestral precepts, the eldest son in the family is generally not allowed to pass through the house, and it is not my intention to pass on to the great aunt, it is not my intention, it is the determination contained in the eight characters of your birthday. Coupled with the fact that the great aunt is connected to our bloodline, she has not yet given birth to children, you are going to fight for the great aunt, but also to add glory to the old Zhang family! You are both the son of the great aunt and my son, and when you grow up, your responsibilities will be greater and your burdens will be heavier. But I was in the clouds, as if I understood. Later, whenever I recalled his slightly guilty words, I often really felt my father's strong calf licking feelings and the ardent expectations of Jackie Chan.
My primary school was initiated in the second half of the 1960s, and I studied in the late Qing Dynasty residential complex named Zhangjia Dawu in the green brick Daiwa, flying cornice wing corner, and named Zhangjia Dawu, that is, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the "Mass Primary School" was set up on the original site of the former Pingjiang County "Xiangbei Middle School" that was briefly run here. Once, all the teachers and students of the school gathered in the hall of the Zhangjia Mansion to give a political lesson, and invited the father of the party branch secretary of the brigade and the school's political instructor to preach the original work in the "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" (four volumes): "Reactionaries must be punished." Handsome and personable, he stepped onto the podium and did not follow the script, but formed from the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation national anti-Japanese united front; the establishment of the Pingjiang Jiayi Left Guard Office of the New Fourth Army; how the Kuomintang rightists waited for an opportunity to sabotage the anti-Japanese united front; the background and process of the "Pingjiang Massacre"; the sacrifice of Tu Zhengkun and six other martyrs; on August 1, 1939, Chairman Mao Zedong delivered an impromptu speech at the yan'an people's memorial meeting for the martyrs who died in the "Pingjiang Massacre.": "Reactionaries must be punished." As well as the significance, role, and far-reaching political impact of this long-standing article with a clear banner and a magnificent spirit, denouncing the Kuomintang's sabotage of the anti-Japanese united front, it is comprehensively and detailed from the background, historical facts, and content. He talked about the past and the present, sprinkled with foreign words, talked about it, was beautiful, the style was still, it was really very talented, and indeed in my subsequent game of life and career, he continued to play a subtle role model effect and role, and at that time in my young soul, admiration, pride, and admiration also spontaneously arose, as if there was an invisible passion impacting my throat, I almost shouted: Uncle, you are really too cattle!
His father served as the secretary of the brigade (village) party branch in Jinwo Dazhongping for more than thirty years, building the grass-roots political power of the People's Republic; the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation of the people under his jurisdiction; and the stability and development of the rural grass-roots level. He has loved the party in the party for decades, and has not forgotten his original intention in the party; he has been a pioneer in the past few decades, charging ahead, and running hard; and he has loved his post and dedicated himself for decades, worked selflessly, and made selfless dedication. It can really be said that he has worked hard and made remarkable achievements, and has won the honorary title of outstanding rural grassroots party branch secretary at the provincial, municipal and county levels for many times. His father is also a well-known mr. geographical feng shui, he often said: geographical feng shui, heaven and earth all things, yin and yang reincarnation, no pole Tai lai, not idealistic, materialistic; it is a branch of the ancestors of the "Zhou Yi", covering: heaven and time, geography, meteorology, architecture, environment, humanities and other comprehensive discipline knowledge, is the bridge and link for people to pursue the best ecological environment of "the unity of heaven and earth and man". His yin and yang gossip, geographical feng shui, folk etiquette, see the best time, all of them are incomprehensible. Within a radius, in the eight villages of ten miles, the villagers' weddings and funerals, doing houses and beams, and choosing a good period are proud to invite him to the scene to preside over the cooking and selection of the best period, so he is also a busy person in the party affairs of the brigade (village) in Jinwo Dazhongping, government affairs, and folk affairs of the common people; he is also a capable person who is praised by the villagers; and he is also a well-known "village celebrity" in the local area. I remember that one year in the golden autumn, it was the harvest season of oil tea seeds, when I was young, I played with Mingfang and Jiugao, two elementary school classmates, took advantage of the leisure time after school in the afternoon, vacated their respective school bags, and went to the "Pig Head Mountain" in Jinping Village next door to steal the oil tea seeds that the "Po WuChang" production team had not yet harvested But I had a clever move, and the fox said to Mao Laoqiao in a false tiger way: I am the son of Volkswagen Pingzhong Berlin, and after the two playmates took the empty school bag and walked away in ashes, Mao Laoqiao, who was watching the mountain guard, asked me to stay, and then put my school bag back into the full oil tea seeds, smiled and said to me kindly: You are the cub of the Volkswagen Pingzhong Master and the Secretary of Berlin, then bring more back, and also tell me with great concern: Go home and walk with weight, be careful not to wrestle. I was puzzled, but suddenly I suddenly realized: This is the first time in my life that I have enjoyed the privilege of the "second generation of officials" in the jurisdiction and the protection and elegance of the "rural celebrity" effect.
Father's Geographical Feng Shui Mr. is ancestral, a compass "compass", a box of geographical feng shui threads containing ancient books, are regarded as treasures. I remember that one night when I was just fifteen years old, he took me to the wooden plank of his old house in Xiuyeping, pointed to the box of geographical feng shui ancient books and said to me: According to the ancestral master training of "passing on men and not women, passing on the big and not passing on the small", it should have been passed on to you, but now the times are different, I will not teach you these things, you concentrate on studying carefully in school, learn the real skills, and do something big in the future, but there are a few ancestral secret recipes derived from geographical feng shui, I still want to teach you, and in the future you will be of some use in your daily life at home. That night, in the quiet of the night, in the hall house of the old house of Xiuyeping, he reverently held candles, burned incense, burned paper, drew symbols, held a blue and white porcelain bowl in his hand, recited words in his mouth, and wrote it in advance on the yellow piece of paper: "Nine Cow Water" that melted the fish thorns and choked the throat; "sending pain" to relieve the pain of physical trauma, eliminating the "scar" of children who were frightened at night, three so-called "ancestral secret recipes" terms, the scene let me memorize, remember in mind, burn in the blue and white porcelain bowl, mix with water for me to drink, and guide me to bow down to the southeast. Thanks to my ancestors and masters, I will believe in them and let them be at their mercy. In the future, in my grandson's small test, it was indeed a little effective and tried many times, it was really incomprehensible, but I thought quietly from the perspective of atheism and psychology, and finally found a reasonable explanation and answer: it is not the mana of the so-called divine master, such as with this form of mysterious carrier, it initiates people's potential psychological self-healing, psychological self-healing, and the coincidental effect of mental balance after balancing it; it is also the coincidental effect of his old man's home: "Faith is there, unbelief is nothing", the void, the left and right, the source, the ambiguity, It aims to guide people to achieve the true connotation of psychological counseling, psychological balance, and psychological self-consolation.
Time flies, the years go by. My father has been driving the crane to the west for ten years, but the old man's personality style, the original intention of not forgetting, the image of it, the spirit of dedication, and the affection of licking calves have long been deeply engraved in the hearts of the brothers and sisters of my compatriots such as me: eternal gratitude, eternal remembrance of the indelible mark.
