"In 1979, another spring, an old man drew a circle on the south coast of China..." I believe that everyone who has heard this song knows that the old man mentioned in this song is Comrade Deng Xiaoping, whom we know. This is a great man who has been passed down through the ages, the founding father of our country, and his name is also the name of our people who have immediately felt the supreme respect and will not be able to control the tears of gratitude.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping's great achievements in this life cannot be summed up in a few words; he has been making continuous contributions to our country all along, and the reason why our country can have today is inseparable from him is that he led us in reform and opening up, led China to become rich and strong, and grasped China's education.
What no one before him said, he dared to say, what no one before him had done, he dared to do, and he dared to take the road that no one before him had traveled. This is the Comrade Deng Xiaoping we know as well, a frank and selfless great man of the century. We all know that many of the spirits in Comrade Deng Xiaoping are worth learning from each and every one of us, and he has influenced too many people in this lifetime.
And at that time, there were many people who followed his example. Among them, including his own brother, that is, the figure we are going to talk about today, Mr. Deng Ken, under the influence of his brother Deng Xiaoping, he is also a great figure in history.
The elder brother embarked on the revolutionary road, and Deng Ken followed him
In 1911, in Guang'an, Sichuan, Deng Yichang was pleased to have a son, who was Comrade Deng Ken, the younger brother of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, who was more than seven years old when he was born. Because his father had read books and had been a teacher, Deng Ken and several other siblings were carefully taught by his father, and although his father lived in the old social era, he was a progressive person.
In addition, Comrade Deng Xiaoping's words and deeds have always influenced this younger brother, and Deng Ken has always regarded this brother as an example for him to learn. Among his brothers and sisters, Deng Yaochang was the most important of his eldest son, Deng Xiaoping. And at that time, the family had high expectations of him, thinking that he would definitely have a big achievement in the future.
Therefore, not long after Comrade Deng Xiaoping entered junior high school, his father arranged for him to go to France, and it is said that at that time, comrade Deng Xiaoping went abroad in order to collect money, and he sold his land and property and borrowed money from others. After collecting the funds, Deng Xiaoping went to France alone, where the hard-working Deng Xiaoping began to work and study, and later chose to take the revolutionary road, who would have thought at that time that Deng Yaochang's decision to let Deng Xiaoping study in France affected the fate of his son's life and even the fate of China as a whole.
Knowing that his brother Deng Xiaoping was going to leave the family where he had lived for many years to complete his great ambitions, Deng Ken was naturally very reluctant to give up, but he knew that his brother was a person with great ambitions, so he could only support him, and he also had to look up to him and follow the same path as him. Although he was far abroad, Comrade Deng Xiaoping had always been concerned about Deng Ken, and he had always exchanged letters with Deng Ken at home, and would also send him some books with communist ideas, mainly hoping that his brother could choose a bright road like himself.
Due to the influence of his brother Deng Xiaoping from an early age, Deng Ken also studied very hard and loved to study, especially understood the essence of the books and magazines sent to him by his brother, and also planted the seeds of wanting to join the revolution in his heart. Later, Deng Ken first went to Shanghai Jinan University, and then studied at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law.
It was just that at that time, he had not contacted his brother for 9 years, after hearing the news that his brother might be in Shanghai. Deng Ken was excited, but Shanghai is not a small place after all, it is not easy to find someone to talk about, not to mention that Deng Ken is still unfamiliar with this place, and he does not know where to start.
Suddenly, Deng Ken's mind moved, thinking of the "search notice" in the newspaper, perhaps through this way, you can quickly find your brother. Initially, after a period of time, Deng Ken did not wait for news from his brother, thinking that he was not in Shanghai.
However, at that time, Deng Ken did not know that this "search notice" he had published had already appeared in front of Comrade Deng Xiaoping's eyes, and the reason why he did not go to see him immediately was mainly because Comrade Deng Xiaoping's identity was special at that time, there were many spies in Shanghai, and there were also spies who had posted similar search notices under the pretext of looking for relatives.
After Comrade Deng Xiaoping verified the authenticity of the news many times, finally Deng Ken saw his brother who had not been in contact for many years as he wished, but because he had not seen him for more than ten years, his appearance had changed, so for a while they almost did not recognize each other.
He joined the party honorably and contributed to the revolution with his brother
Deng Ken is a man of integrity, filial piety, and has always been diligent and thrifty, and likes to help others, and is meticulous in his studies. It's just that fate always loves to tease people, and even if Deng Ken is very good at learning, he can't escape the chaotic social environment of the times at that time. In the long run, Deng Ken's studies were also greatly affected by the chaotic era, so that even the studies could not be successfully completed later, and eventually he left his career, which was extremely unfair to the diligent and studious Deng Ken.
Fortunately, Deng Ken's efforts were not in vain, and in 1937, Deng Ken finally became a glorious party member. Later, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, during which many young students with patriotic enthusiasm rushed to Yan'an, the paradise of their dreams. Because it was a holy place of revolution, of course, among these young students, there was also Deng Ken, who was full of ambition and wanted to serve the country.
After Deng Ken arrived in Yan'an as he wished, he was introduced by his brother Deng Xiaoping to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Not long after studying there, Deng Ken became the library officer of the school, not only that, he also held several positions, such as the county magistrate of Burleigh County in the northeast, the editor of Yan'an Liberation Daily, etc., and also published many excellent articles, which won the praise of many people.
After Japan announced its unconditional surrender, under the transfer of his superiors, Deng Ken, who had outstanding work ability, came to the northeast and engaged in propaganda-related work.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the superiors particularly appreciated Deng Ken's ability to do things, coupled with his integrity and meticulousness in doing things, so they particularly valued him, and also let him serve as the vice mayor of Chongqing Municipality and the deputy secretary of the Wuhan Municipal Party Committee. In this way, both brothers contributed to the revolution in different places in their own ways.
All along, The brothers Deng Ken and Comrade Deng Xiaoping have always gathered less and left more, especially when Deng Ken first came to Shanghai and found Comrade Deng Xiaoping, it was not long before they had to separate, and once they were separated, they were separated for several years. After the separation of Shanghai, in 1945, Comrade Deng Xiaoping returned to Yan'an from the Taihang Mountains to attend the Seventh National Congress of the Party, and was also elected as a member of the Central Committee.
There, he also saw Deng Ken, whom he had not seen for many years, because of his father's death, he sighed a little, and before the brothers could sit down and say a few words of greeting, Comrade Deng Xiaoping hurried back to the Taihang Mountains, after all, he was carrying important tasks on his shoulders, and no one dared to slacken off.
In the long run, Deng Ken was also accustomed to the days of gathering less and more with his brother, and many times the days when he and his brother were gathered were when the two brothers met from different places to the same place, and this situation did not improve until later.
In 1952, Deng Ken served as the secretary of the party committee and director of the Chongqing Municipal Education Bureau, and concurrently served as the principal of Chongqing No. 1 Middle School, in the face of education, Deng Ken was even more persistent in managing this school that was in ruins after the founding of the People's Republic of China, for which he invested a lot of time and effort here, and promoted the development of this school's education cause, poured a lot of effort into Chongqing No. 1 Middle School, and also advocated education reform to make important contributions to the development of education in Chongqing No. 1 Middle School.
Of course, as the principal, Deng Ken not only gives orders to teachers and students how to do it, but often summarizes the method of listening to lectures in the classroom, makes situation reports to students and teachers in schools, and carries out ideological and political work for them. Through the unremitting efforts of Deng Ken and the teachers and students of the school, Chongqing No. 1 Middle School has developed better and better, and its scale has become larger and larger.
Originally thought that Deng Kenhui would stay in Chongqing No. 1 Middle School, but he did not expect to leave this school in 1953, for his departure, the school's teachers and classmates cling to it, but there is no feast in the world. Later, although no one was in Chongqing No. 1 Middle School, Deng Ken's heart was always worried about the teachers and students of the school, and the teachers and classmates of the school always remembered Deng Ken's teachings.
Scrupulously fulfilled his duties and persevered in the jingchu land for twenty years
In the early 1980s, his superiors appointed the 70-year-old Deng Ken as the vice governor of Hubei Province, and although he was old, Deng Ken, who was old and strong, was still as meticulous about his work as before, and he believed that sitting in this position would fulfill the responsibilities of this position.
As a parent official in Hubei Province, Deng Ken knew that it was the most important thing to think about the people everywhere, so he still regarded his brother as a model for his own learning, never put up an official frame, and he was always selfless and sympathetic to the local people, and he was very willing to solve problems for the local people and serve the people wholeheartedly.
Although in Hubei, he only served as vice governor for a year and then resigned, but Deng Ken is still working tirelessly, to become a people's government adviser, ready to continue to solve problems for the people, he seems to have forgotten that he is a 70-year-old man, he believes that even if he is old, as long as he can contribute a little to the country and the people, it is very meaningful, so he is also loved by the people of Hubei.
But then again, Deng Ken's fate with Hubei was not concluded in this year, as early as June 1966, when the old man Deng Ken came to Wuhan to take up his post, he began to have an indissoluble relationship with Hubei, that is, since then, he has been settling in this Jingchu land, and has served the people for a full 20 years.
In the winter of 2017, this amiable centenarian who dedicated his life to the people passed away in Shenzhen, and in his life, he sacrificed his small self to achieve greater self, and has always regarded his brother Deng Xiaoping as an example for him to learn. The old man Deng Ken's wish before his death was to let his family not arrange a funeral for himself, and he did not need any wreaths, everything was from Jane.
Yes, the old man Deng Ken has always been so sincere and simple in his life. Finally, after the death of Mr. Deng Ken, his family took his funeral from Jane according to his last wishes, and buried him in the sea in Shenzhen, and his ashes flowed endlessly to every mountain and river in China, and he always watched the vigorous development of our country.
Looking back at the life of the old man Deng Ken, it is more difficult, living in that turbulent era, it is indeed difficult to maintain a sincere heart. The political career of the elderly Deng Ken was not smooth, even if on this road, his brother Deng Xiaoping was his guide, but more, he still had to rely on himself.
In that turbulent era, it was not easy to survive, and the old man Deng Ken, whom we admired, finally won the approval of the superior leaders and the love of the people step by step with his own efforts, so we can imagine that as a revolutionary, he did not know how many ups and downs he had experienced to get to this day.
Of course, his brother Deng Xiaoping, who is also like him as a revolutionary ready to serve the country, also took a bumpy road, even if he and Deng Ken made such a great contribution to the country, they have never been publicized, all the time, they have been doing things in a low-key manner, even if they are leading figures, they will use the lowest standards to demand themselves, absolutely will not think of adding trouble to the country.
Whether it was the two brothers of Deng Xiaoping or other revolutionary heroes, in the face of the difficulties and obstacles ahead, they never gave up, always adhered to the original belief in their hearts, and bravely and fearlessly moved forward, because they knew that the revolution would eventually win. Yes, the present prosperity is as they wish, and even develops better than they imagined, which is the gift they most want to give their lives.
epilogue
The wheels of history roll forward, looking back at history, in the long river of history. We can see that in those difficult years, a number of revolutionary greats emerged, and those were all admirable heroes. In the face of difficulties, they stepped forward, threw their heads and spilled their blood, and used their wisdom and sweat to guide the lost and create a better life for people.
Their great achievements will always be engraved on the milestones of history. Without the great revolutionary martyrs, how could China have the opportunity to develop? How can we have today's bustling life? Of course, the world that the revolutionary ancestors worked hard to build naturally needs to be guarded by people, and this generation is a new generation of young people, although there is no way to truly feel the suffering of those years, but we must not forget these arduous histories.
Youth is easy to pass away, and many things are gone in the blink of an eye, so young people should cherish their vigorous youth, learn from their fearless spirit, and take those brave and fearless people as their own examples and driving force for progress like the old man of Deng Ken.
