In the mid-1960s, Hua Guofeng, who was working in Hunan, was favored by the party organization for the use of hybrid rice promotion, when the four modernization goals had just been proposed, and Hua Guofeng's promotion of hybrid rice technology in Hunan undoubtedly promoted the country's agricultural modernization. Just when Hua Guofeng's achievements in local administration have been repeatedly praised, Hua Guofeng is extremely low-key, even if he later became president of the country, he did not have the slightest pride and complacency because of his merits, and hua Guofeng's wife was the same, the red revolutionary family formed has never talked about specialization, as the chairman's wife, she even often commutes to work on a bicycle, which makes many people think that she will actually be the president's wife, but this is a true portrayal of Hua Guofeng's wife's life.
As a young man, he resolutely threw himself into the revolutionary cause
Speaking of Hua Guofeng's wife, Han Zhijun, she is also a revolutionary fighter who came out of a poor family. On the eve of the September 18 Incident, Han Zhijun was born in a poor family in Shanxi, although there were warlords like Yan Xishan in Shanxi at that time, there was basically no war, but Yan Xishan's construction of a new army cost a huge amount, which made the people of Shanxi Province bear a heavy burden, so many people were still on the subsistence line, once they encountered a famine, there would be a large-scale famine. In such an environment, Han Zhijun spent his childhood, but also because of the full outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, so that Han Zhijun did not have time to receive education, and he could only live a life of upheaval and displacement. In the face of the aggressive attack of the Japanese army, the warlord Yan Xishan of Shanxi Province turned to our party on the one hand, and the Nationalist government in Chongqing on the other hand, which allowed Yan Xishan to reap the benefits of the fishermen, so in the years when the War of Resistance broke out, Yan Xishan's troops not only did not decrease but increased a lot.
Due to Yan Xishan's passive war of resistance, the Japanese army in Shanxi Province can be said to come and go freely, and a large part of it was occupied by the Japanese army, which is why many people came to the anti-Japanese base area of the party organization in Shanxi to avoid the flames of war. Han Zhijun was the same at that time, and followed his family to the anti-Japanese base area of the Eighth Route Army. While escaping the flames of war, Han Zhijun also received education in the anti-Japanese base areas and learned the importance of Marxist-Leninist ideas, so she joined the rear support work of the War of Resistance Against Japan before she was 15 years old.
At that time, in order to blockade the anti-Japanese base areas of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army not only carried out military encirclement and suppression, but also tightened the economic blockade, so the party organization actively carried out the production self-help movement, and it was the strength of this movement that supported the Eighth Route Army that was resisting the war on the front line, so that the Eighth Route Army became more and more courageous in the War of Resistance, and won many frontal battles, while Han Zhijun, who was in his youth at the time, gradually realized that the party organization was the people's dependence in the process of participating in the sewing of military uniforms and making cloth shoes for the Eighth Route Army, so on the eve of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Han Zhijun successfully enlisted in the army and joined the party organization.
After becoming the president's wife, she remained low-key
The revolutionary course of her youth made Han Zhijun unforgettable, and the hardships of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the dangers of the War of Liberation made her realize how hard-won the era of peace was. On the eve of the victory in the Liberation War, Han Zhijun was transferred from the army and came to Hunan with her husband to work, staying in Hunan for decades, until Hua Guofeng was transferred to Beijing because of his outstanding political achievements, which followed her husband and left Hunan. Whether in Hunan or Beijing, Han Zhijun has a habit, that is, riding a bicycle to commute to work, this habit has continued until she became the chairman's wife, and later the organization hoped to call the car for Hua Guofeng and his wife, which was rejected by Hua Guofeng and his wife, and Han Zhijun was resolutely opposed to the use of cars, which made Han Zhijun still not enjoy a trace of special treatment after becoming the chairman's wife.
Later, Hua Guofeng retired from the leading cadre group, and after leaving the chairmanship, Hua Guofeng was very low-key, and his life was very simple, especially his wife Han Zhijun, who never made any demands on the organization, like an ordinary retired worker, lived a very simple life, which made revolutionary ideas a part of her life from the inside out, and it was also a model worthy of study and follow by contemporary young people.
III. Conclusion:
As the wife of Chairman Hua Guofeng, Han Zhijun participated in the revolution during the War of Resistance Against Japan, to follow her husband Hua Guofeng to the local government to participate in economic construction, and later to the chairman's wife. Although the role has changed, what has never changed is the original heart of the revolutionary, always serving the people, which is also the commitment made by Han Zhijun when he participated in the revolution, and she also used this life to practice this promise.
