On July 31, 1948, at the invitation of our country, Feng Yuxiang planned to return to China from the United States on the Victory, and he planned to go to the Soviet Union first and then transfer from the Soviet Union to China. However, we did not wait for Feng Yuxiang, but we waited for a bad news, because the Victory was on fire, and Feng Yuxiang was unfortunately killed.
The most outstanding of Feng Yuxiang's children was his youngest son, Feng Hongzhi. However, when Feng Hongzhi, who was in the year of huajia, proposed to Comrade Deng Xiaoping the idea of returning to China to settle down, Deng Xiaoping actually shook his head and did not agree.
First, because of the nationality issue, you can only work as a coolie
Feng Hongzhi, born in 1917, is the second son of Feng Yuxiang and his wife Liu Dezhen. When Feng Hongzhi was six years old, Liu Dezhen died, and Feng Yuxiang married his stepmother, who has been living with his stepmother.
According to Feng Hongzhi, his father was already extremely prestigious when he had memories, but despite this, the staple food in the family often had only a few nests. Feng Hongzhi didn't like to eat, but he didn't dare to say it.
Seeing that his son did not like Wo Wo Tou, Feng Yuxiang took the initiative to ask Feng Hongzhi: "Is Wo Wo Tou delicious?" Feng Hongzhi replied: "If the father is there, it will be delicious, and if the father is not there, it will not be delicious." Hearing such words, Feng Yuxiang said to Feng Hongzhi with a heavy heart: "Although the nest head is not delicious, there are still many people who can't eat the nest head." ”
Although Feng Yuxiang is accustomed to frugality at home, he is never ambiguous when it comes to the education of his children. When the children were still very young, Feng Yuxiang sent them to the Soviet Union to study, because Feng Hongzhi had excellent grades, and later transferred to Germany to study.
When studying abroad, feng Hongzhi's people around him all have special backgrounds, including Chiang Ching-kuo, the son of Chiang Kai-shek, and Kong Lingjie, the son of Kong Xiangxi, who get along with these big-spending brothers every day, and Feng Hongzhi seems out of place.
When Feng Hongzhi returned from his studies in Germany, China was being trampled by Japan, and the lives of the people were miserable. It was also during that period that Feng Hongzhi began to admire his father. My father, an old man in his sixties, wore cloth clothes and shoes every day and went to various places to give speeches and lobby.
The road in Sichuan is mainly mountain roads, and the mountain roads are twisty and difficult to walk, and Feng Hongzhi is worried that his father has an accident, so he follows his father every time. He watched his father speak on the stage, heroic, although he was nearly old, but it still did not affect his momentum. After a year of non-stop speeches, the father and son raised a total of more than 23,000 silver. Because it was the Kuomintang and the Communists who jointly resisted Japan at that time, Feng Yuxiang divided this part of the money into two halves, half to Chiang Kai-shek and half to Zhou Enlai.
Such an excellent father, his son naturally will not be very bad, Feng Yuxiang has high hopes for his son, in 1945, when the Anti-Japanese War was immediately victorious, Feng Hongzhi was sent by Feng Yuxiang to the United States to study industry. Feng Yuxiang believed that the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression would begin to build the motherland, and at that time, technical talents like his son were the talents that the country needed the most. But what Feng Yuxiang did not expect was that after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek actually launched a civil war.
In 1948, Feng Yuxiang was killed, after the death of his father, Feng Hongzhi was still anxiously waiting for news in the United States, Feng Hongzhi looked forward to the end of the civil war immediately, after the end of the civil war, New China was founded, Feng Hongzhi who wanted to return to China was not allowed to leave the country by the United States, after all, like Feng Hongzhi, a rare high-end talent, how could the United States be willing to put it back to China?
Feng Hongzhi even looked for the Soviet Union in order to return to China, but the Soviet side also said that there was nothing he could do, Feng Hongzhi could only wait for the motherland to rescue him, stranded in the United States he also had to support his family, he wanted to eat in the United States, but due to racial discrimination, plus he came from China, this is tantamount to worsening for him to find a job, if Feng Hongzhi wants to rely on his academic qualifications to find a job, then he must become an American citizen.
Feng Hongzhi vowed to die unwilling to give up his Chinese nationality, and the desperate Feng Hongzhi went to a depot to work as a coolie, and many people ridiculed him for having such a high degree and doing hard work that Americans could not look up to, but Feng Hongzhi believed that as Feng Yuxiang's son, he could not join the nationality of other countries no matter what.
After Nixon's visit to China in 1972, Sino-US relations broke the ice. Feng Hongzhi saw the hope of returning to China, so he immediately contacted the Chinese Department in the United States, and with their joint efforts, the 55-year-old Feng Hongzhi finally got in touch with Chinese mainland.
Second, Feng Hongzhi's meeting with Deng Xiaoping
After Feng Hongzhi got in touch with China, he brought many high and new technologies back to China. In September 1982, Beijing held a grand event to commemorate the centenary of Feng Yuxiang's birth. It was also on this day that Deng Xiaoping wanted to receive the Feng family.
After Deng Xiaoping saw Feng's family, he shook hands with them one by one and told them the story of his past with Feng Yuxiang. After saying this, Deng Xiaoping also asked the Feng family whether they needed help in life, at which time Feng Hongzhi said his thoughts, he wanted to return to the embrace of the motherland.
Deng Xiaoping shook his head after hearing this sentence, he believed that Feng Hongzhi had lived in the United States for most of his life, and his various relationships were also in the United States, and if he could stay abroad, then it would play a very important role at home.
Third, the cleverness of Deng Xiaoping's decision
After listening to Deng Xiaoping's words, Feng Hongzhi felt that Deng Xiaoping's words were very reasonable, and after returning to the United States, he established an industrial company and held the position of president. Feng Hongzhi did not set up a company to collect money, he wanted to transmit important technology to China through this company, and then he also contacted his old classmate Jiang Chingguo.
At that time, Taiwan and the mainland were almost in a state of no diplomatic relations, and in order to make the Taiwan side relax, Feng Hongzhi also made very great efforts, but Chiang Ching-kuo has not been relaxed, Feng Hongzhi has moved with affection, xiaozhi has reason, and even moved out of Wang Fumei, Chiang Ching-kuo and Wang Fumei's feelings are particularly deep, in order to raise Chiang Ching-kuo, Mao Fumei also suffered a lot.
After doing these things, Feng Hongzhi also took several photos, and finally put an envelope and these photos into a brocade box for Chiang Ching-kuo to give. It was also this letter that made Chiang Ching-kuo loosen the matter of visiting relatives on both sides of the mainland, and Feng Hongzhi stayed in the United States and made many contributions to our country.
epilogue
From what followed, we can see that Deng Xiaoping's suggestion to let Feng Hongzhi stay in the United States was a very clear proposal, and Feng Hongzhi's stay in the United States also played his own role. Although Feng Hongzhi is in the United States, his heart has always been in China, and no matter where he is, the people of the motherland will not forget him.
