As a former leader of New China, Hua Guofeng made important contributions to the party and the country in the critical period of New China, but because of his low-key character, many people did not know much about him, only that he was an excellent party member and cadre, conscientious in his work, cautious and cautious, has always been committed to serving the people, and has never had any selfish intentions.
However, Hua Guofeng in life is a good leader, a good cadre, and a really good person, he once adopted three daughters when he worked in Xiangtan, Hunan, and even if his work was later transferred to Beijing, he still cared about these three adopted daughters at all times.
In that era of difficult living conditions, Hua Guofeng resolutely decided to adopt three children with disabilities, which was extremely rare in the eyes of everyone.
Hua Guofeng
Hua Guofeng's adopted three sisters
Shortly after the founding of New China, Hua Guofeng became the secretary of the county party committee in Xiangtan, Hunan. At that time, Xiangtan was because of its poor geographical location, backward economy, the people's living conditions were also very difficult, coupled with the lack of news here, so many people still retained a lot of feudal bad habits, such as son preference. It is precisely because of this that hua Guofeng and his three adopted daughters have an indissoluble relationship.
Hua Guofeng's first adopted child was later named Hua Xiang because it was picked up by Hua Guofeng while walking along the Xiang River.
It was a day in July 1951, Hua Guofeng was taking the guards to the Xiang River for a walk as usual, the Xiang River in the early morning was very quiet, except for a few people who walked like Hua Guofeng, there was almost no one else to see, just at this time, Hua Guofeng, who had a sensitive ear, heard the child's cry in a trance, but when he stopped and looked around, he found nothing.
Pei Hongming, the guard, stopped and listened carefully, and after a while, he said affirmatively: "There is a child's cry, and I heard it too." ”
After listening to this, Hua Guofeng compared a silent posture with his hands, and then followed the faint baby's cry to look for the past, and when they followed the cry they heard to the county people's hospital, they found that there was a basket near the main entrance of the hospital, and the cries of the children they heard came from this basket.
Hua Guofeng stepped forward and lifted the clothes draped over the basket, and a small baby was crying and crying, and on the baby's body was a note with only a date written on it, thinking that it should be the date of birth of this child. Hua Guofeng looked around and did not see any relatives suspected of being children nearby, and in desperation, he could only take the child back to the guest house.
When he returned to the guest house, Hua Guofeng had time to look at the abandoned child, it turned out that this child was a blind girl, and Pei Hongming next to him said, "Her father and mother must not be able to do anything, otherwise they would not have been thrown at the hospital door." ”
Hua Guofeng listened and nodded silently, and couldn't help but pity in his heart. What's wrong with young children? But her parents also wanted to come because they were desperate, so they could only choose to abandon their defective children. After a thousand turns of thoughts, Hua Guofeng had a thought - he wanted to adopt this child.
But because adopting a child was no small matter, he decided to go back and discuss it with his wife, so he entrusted the child to a staff member of the guest house to take care of. Back at home, Hua Guofeng discussed his idea of adopting the child with his wife, and his wife Han Junzhi agreed without saying a word.
Although they already had two children at the time, the couple decided to adopt the poor little girl. Subsequently, the child was taken home from the guest house by Hua Guofeng and handed over to his wife Han Junzhi to take care of, and the arrival of this child brought unexpected joy to Hua Guofeng and his wife.
However, none of them knew that this was just the first angel in their lives. Three months later, when Hua Guofeng and his colleagues went to the theater to watch a play, they accidentally picked up a little girl on the lawn in front of the theater, this little girl was 8 years old, but thin and weak like a five- or six-year-old child.
When Hua Guofeng picked her up, she was squatting on the lawn crying because she was hungry for several days, and after some questioning, Hua Guofeng learned that the little girl's parents had already died, and the little girl had no one to take care of her, so she could only live on the street.
After listening to the little girl's encounter, Hua Guofeng was moved by compassion again, so the little girl became his second adopted girl, because he picked her up on the lawn in front of the theater, so he named her Hua Ping.
What everyone did not expect was that two months later, a similar thing was played out again on Hua Guofeng, who picked up a little girl with an eye disease at the door of a tea house in the county, and took her home to adopt, and named her Huaqing, which means that he hopes that she can be like a cup of tea.
Take good care of and nurture adults
After adopting three children in succession, his wife Han Junzhi appeared to be a little weak, and later, after unanimous discussion in the organization, it was decided to send the three children to the county party committee guest house, and the staff in the guest house were responsible for taking care of them.
In this way, not only can solve the life problems of these three children, but also will not put all the pressure on Hua Guofeng alone, Hua Guofeng thought it was a good idea after thinking about it, so he nodded and agreed to the organizational arrangement.
But he told the organization that he had picked up the three children and that he saw them as his daughters. Therefore, he is willing to pay half of the cost of taking care of them, and also relieve some of the pressure on the organization.
In the end, the three children were sent to the county party committee guest house to be cared for by the staff inside, and although the three children no longer lived in Hua Guofeng's home, it did not affect his relationship with the three children in the slightest.
After work, Hua Guofeng went to the guest house to see the three children as soon as he had time, and brought them his favorite candy and clothes every time he went, not only that, every time Hua Guofeng went to the guest house to see them, he would always buy them something that they could not eat, which was also considered to improve their lives.
He had said to the staff of the guest house more than once, "My ability is limited to allow them to enjoy a good life, but I also want to make them as good as possible, they are too bitter..."
Not only that, in addition to taking care of the daily life of the three sisters, Hua Guofeng also arranged for people to take them to the hospital for examination many times, Hua Qing and Hua Xiang had problems with their eyes, and Hua Guofeng specially arranged for someone to take them to the county hospital to find experts to see their eyes.
Hua Xiang was lucky, the earlier examination and treatment gave her some hope, and her eyesight did improve in the later stages. But because Huaqing was delayed for too long, his hopes became much slim. Hua Guofeng was depressed for a long time, and he even felt at one point why he couldn't find this poor little girl sooner, so that she wouldn't have to endure the pain of not being able to see the sun for the rest of her life.
However, Hua Qing was much more sensible than Hua Guofeng thought, and she comforted her adoptive father that even if she could not see, it would not prevent her from working with her hands, and Hua Guofeng looked at this sensible child and finally couldn't help but sigh.
Life is happy and smooth
Later, because Hua Guofeng's work was transferred, he often had to come to the guest house to visit the three sisters at a long interval, but even so, in his spare time, he would often write letters to the three sisters.
The staff around Hua Guofeng said that although these three sisters are Hua Guofeng's adopted children, the feelings between their father and daughter are no different from those born to them, and Hua Guofeng often teaches the three sisters not to be defeated by life, no matter what kind of setbacks they encounter. And the three sisters HuaPing, Hua Qing and Hua Xiang have always kept their adoptive father's teachings in mind.
Later, Hua Qing entered the Xiangtan Social Welfare Comprehensive Processing Factory with his own efforts, and when he heard that his adopted daughter could rely on herself and live a good life, Hua Guofeng was extremely happy. He once visited Huaqing outside of work, and when he saw his adopted daughter weaving, his heart was full of relief.
After all, Hua Qing has an eye disease, and he can master the skills of the work by groping and working hard, and Hua Guofeng's excitement and joy can be imagined. In order not to disturb her work, Hua Guofeng stood not far from Huaqing and watched her until she completed the work of a process, and then he stepped forward and gently asked her, "Xiaohua, can you still hear my voice?" ”
Hua Qing, who was weaving, suddenly stopped, and she shouted excitedly: "Uncle Hua, how did you come?" Hua Guofeng was also very happy to see Hua Qing recognize his voice at once, he told Hua Qing that he had come to inspect the work, and by the way, he came to see her, and Hua Qing was touched and red-eyed.
On the occasion of parting, Hua Guofeng encouraged Hua Qing to be an excellent working person who is not disabled, and Hua Qing also nodded to Hua Guofeng very solemnly.
Hua Guofeng has always been very concerned about the life of the three adopted daughters, even if he was later transferred to Beijing for work reasons, he did not forget to write letters to the three sisters every month, and the three sisters always remembered Hua Guofeng's teachings, and must do everything down-to-earth.
Hua Qing worked hard in the factory, and was later rated as a model worker in the province, Hua Ping became an ordinary worker on the farm, and Hua Xiang went from farmer to worker and finally returned to the identity of a farmer.
For the three sisters, the greatest wealth in this life is the love and teaching given by their adoptive father Hua Guofeng, which is the wealth that cannot be changed in this life. Because glory and wealth are temporary, only noble character and noble character can accompany people throughout their lives.
Although the three sisters have not done anything earth-shattering, they have always remembered the teachings of their adoptive father Hua Guofeng and served the people in ordinary posts.
