In Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, He Fengsheng's ancestors have been living in this small village. Five more labor, early and greedy, this is a true portrayal of the peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky.
He's father was named He Xiaoqiu, an honest farmer. But when it comes to his grandmother, it still seems very interesting today, she is the chairman's aunt, and she has been very close since she was a child. The two families are relatives and even went to school and played together when they were young.
He Xiaoqiu also participated in peasant activities and fought alongside the chairman.
Later, because he was discovered by the enemy, he sent someone to arrest him. In a critical situation, He Xiaoqiu pretended to be a car driver, worked hard all the way, and finally sent the chairman out of Shaoshan safely, and afterwards gave the only money he had to the chairman to use on the road, so that he could do things for convenience later. But it was precisely because of this incident that their family was also hunted down. Later, the family was forced to leave the area and went with his wife and children to the Ding Zi Di in Nan County, Dongting Lake District, where he continued the farmer's life of farming. After that, he settled in Huarong County (Yueyang).
After 1927, because of the urgency of the war, the outside world has been fighting for many years, resulting in the displacement of the people, and the chairman also led the troops to fight bravely against the enemy, that is, for this reason, he did not meet with the He family again, only some letters exchanged greetings, but he has always been very worried about their family.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of the busy official business, the opportunity to meet was also very small. At that time, He Xiaoqiu's physical condition was already very poor, and seeing this situation, the chairman sent him his own manuscript fee and repeatedly told them to recuperate.
In the Museum of Hunan Province today, a letter written to their family by the chairman of the year is still preserved. Although the paper has been slightly yellowed, the true feelings revealed between the lines make people marvel after reading it.
According to the generational division, He Fengsheng is considered to be the cousin nephew of the chairman. Despite having relatives like the chairman, their family is very low-key, and he is also honestly doing the work of a farmer, working hard day and night, and he can often be seen in the fields.
"People have misfortunes and bad luck" This is inevitable, and when you are sick, you need to take medicine to see a doctor. In 1958, when he was supervising the Qianlianghu Collective Farm, he had unbearable stomach pain. After a while, the illness disappeared, and he didn't care.
But by 1960, the illness had struck again, frightening the family. In the town, the county has traveled to many places without getting results. Finally, under the guidance of the county doctors, they came to the big hospital in the province.
The registration queue was normal, but after a long wait, when it was finally his turn, there was a problem. The registered personnel asked him if he had a letter of introduction from the county party committee and asked him what kind of cadre he had been. Faced with such a question, He honestly replied no. However, the result was that his such disease was generally not accepted by large hospitals, and only county-level cadres or those with letters of introduction could see a doctor here.
After all the hardships to get here, but he couldn't see the disease, this made He a little confused.
In a hurry, he said to the people: "I am related to the chairman, he is his nephew, do you see this line?" ”
After listening to this sentence, after some investigation, He entered the hospital, and the best doctors performed the treatment.
In the winter of 1960, he traveled to Beijing, found the chairman, and told him about the problem of rural medical treatment. The Chairman attached great importance to it after learning about it, and then convened a "seven-thousand-person conference" to discuss the matter.
Years later, the congratulatory meeting was embarrassed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I was really anxious at the time, I really wouldn't have said that." The chairman is such a fair and honest person, and I have influenced him. ”
Later, someone asked him: "Did the chairman not know about this at first?" He replied, "How dare I say this?" He was so busy that he couldn't worry about such a small thing! I was also blessed with his old man's family. ”
