Education has been an undertaking to which the Chinese nation attaches great importance since ancient times. No matter what era, education will always be the focus of development. If there is no good education, the quality of the people will not get higher and higher; if there is no good education, the country's development will not get better and better; if there is no good education, the emergence of talents will not be more and more.
In the early days of the founding of New China, China was in ruins waiting to be rebuilt, and all development needed to rely on high-knowledge talents, whether it was the economic system or science and technology, to make progress and develop, it needed the blessing of smart people.
The importance of education is not only reflected at the national level, but also in the family. If a family does not have the correct ideological guidance, then it will definitely form a situation of "the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked".
Chen Dongping, the son of the founding general Chen Zaidao, must be familiar to everyone. Chen Zaidao, as a person who has made meritorious contributions to the country, has educated his son who has become a moth in the family and a scum of society, and the final fate is also very tragic. This is the biggest impact of the lack of family education on a person, but Zhang Zhen, who is also the founding soldier, has educated a family of generals, and "father and son double generals" has become a good story.
Ride the battlefield and make great achievements
More than a hundred years ago, China was still a country that had not been liberated and was full of wars, and there were many wars in the Hunan area at that time, such as the Autumn Harvest Uprising and the Pingjiang Uprising, which took place in the Hunan region.
In this turbulent environment, under the influence of this revolutionary wave, there have also been one after another, batch after group of aspiring young people in Hunan, and Zhang Zhen is one of them.
In 1914, the founding soldier Zhang Zhen was born, and his birth was destined to be extraordinary. Zhang Zhen grew up in a very harsh environment, often oppressed by landlords, such a dark life made Zhang Zhen have an idea of changing the status quo, in order to realize this wish as soon as possible, he joined the Labor Boy Group at the age of twelve and embarked on the road of revolution.
Four years later, Zhang Zhen joined the Communist Youth League again, and because of his outstanding performance, he became a Red Army soldier again, officially opening his way to fight everywhere.
After Zhang Zhen became a soldier, he participated in many battles, and although he was seriously wounded, he still insisted on being at the forefront of the war. In 1937, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zhang Zhen also struggled in the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance.
However, he believed that only "mechanical" war could not awaken the Chinese at that time, so in addition to participating in the war, Zhang Zhen also served as a propaganda committee member, often doing ideological propaganda work in large villages and small villages, laying a certain foundation for the rise of the grass-roots level.
As the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression intensified, Zhang Zhen also led the soldiers of the army to start guerrilla warfare, creating a historical conquest miracle in East China, defeating Japanese soldiers again and again, and making great contributions to the later victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the End of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation began immediately after that, and Zhang Zhen, as an experienced "veteran soldier," would naturally not be absent. The Battle of Lunan and the Battle of Huaihai, it can be said that without the existence of Zhang Zhen, there may not have been a final great victory. This is enough to see Zhang Zhen's position in a major war.
In 1955, an important year, the party and the state carried out the activity of "conferring military ranks" on people who had previously made outstanding military achievements, Zhang Zhen was awarded the rank of lieutenant general for his countless meritorious service, and in the second "military rank", he was awarded the title of general.
The award of these two military ranks can also reflect Zhang Zhen's outstanding military combat ability and willingness to sacrifice for the country. Zhang Zhen has been contributing all his life, yu guo, yu jia.
Tiger Father no Dog, General Mendi
As the saying goes, "a tiger father has no dog", a tiger general like Zhang Zhen, his son will naturally not be too bad. While contributing to the country, Zhang Zhen also deeply realized that if the family's education cannot keep up, even if he dies on the battlefield, the country will not make much progress, then his sacrifice is meaningless.
Therefore, in terms of family education, Zhang Zhen also spent a lot of energy. He managed his sons militarily from an early age, and often told them about the revolutionary spirit of the Communist Party.
Zhang Zhen's sons were influenced by their fathers since they were young, and when they grew up, they also inherited their father's mantle. In particular, Zhang Zhen's third son, Zhang Haiyang, became a general like his father. When Zhang Haiyang was born, Zhang Zhen was already the chief of military staff, and such superior conditions did not allow Zhang Haiyang to develop an arrogant and cunning personality, but instead took "diligence and thrift" and "hard work" as the credo of life.
For his father's teachings, Zhang Haiyang also remembered that in the past few decades of joining the army, Zhang Haiyang has also held many important military positions, but Zhang Haiyang is different from his father in that his main achievements are reflected in political construction.
In 2009, Zhang Haiyang also lived up to expectations and was awarded the rank of general by the state. In addition to the third son, Zhang Haiyang, Zhang Zhen's other sons are also generals, all of whom are major generals in the People's Liberation Army, and even their son-in-law is at the level of major generals. Zhang Zhen's family has produced six generals, which can really be described as "general disciples".
Don't forget the original intention, a different kind of heritage
The father's words and deeds, earnest teachings, and the children's ears and hard struggles have created this family's "disciples". Zhang Zhen's life since childhood is quite difficult, even if the current family conditions are getting more and more superior, he will also warn his children to always remember and implement the concept of "diligence and thrift" life.
Zhang Zhen educates his children, no matter what the situation, can not be in the name of "Zhang Zhen", do some "lust" things, let alone help relatives and friends to take the relationship to do things, "eating, drinking and having fun" is not allowed.
Zhang Zhen told his children that how many people in China can have the current situation in exchange for hard work and sacrifice. As a person, we must not forget our roots, and we must always keep our original intention. As a party member, we must take state affairs as our primary task, and as long as the country needs it, we must "top it."
In order to make his children more deeply aware of the style of the Red Army, he also arranged his children to experience life in different military regions in batches. Such a conscientious and responsible and advanced way of education, I am afraid that it is difficult not to educate excellent children.
At that time, the heirlooms of other families were all jade, porcelain, etc. handed down from the feudal period, and Zhang Zhen, as the founding general, left his legacy to his children was particularly different and special.
Zhang Zhen's "heirloom" is the bullet that remained in his body for ten years, this bullet was unfortunately hit by the enemy army when he was fighting on the battlefield, and later because of frequent battles and busy work, this bullet has not been taken out, until ten years later, the bullet was taken out of Zhang Zhen's body. Such "heirlooms" are more valuable than those priceless jewels, which carries the spirit of perseverance and hard work of the Chinese people in that period, and represents the quality of Zhang Zhen's sacrifice for the country.
epilogue:
China experienced its darkest period more than a hundred years ago, when everyone was in danger and everyone was protecting themselves, and it was admirable that Zhang Zhen could stand up and contribute to the country. Zhang Zhen not only made himself a pillar of the country, but also cultivated his children into excellent people one by one, and "father and son double admiral" became a good story, which has been passed down to this day.
Although the current era is a peaceful era, we must always pay attention to the development of education. Parents are the best teachers for children, and now the education of children should be more about cultivation than arrogance, blindly pampering can only make children more and more cowardly. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer "gatekeepers" like Zhang Zhen, and such results are also lamentable.
