Recently, a message from Tsinghua Shudong has attracted widespread attention on the Internet. The messager described his arduous study journey in Tsinghua because of his family poverty, and his message on the forum touched many netizens, and some people called the experience of the messager the Tsinghua version of "Send Dongyang Ma Sheng Sequence".
This message has also caused a heated discussion on the Internet about whether the cold door can still produce noble children, despite the help of the state and society, the probability of poor families cultivating excellent talents is getting lower and lower today, while relatively good families can cultivate more excellent talents.
China's founding marshal Chen Yi is an example. General Chen Yi spent his life on horseback and enjoyed a very high status after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and his children were also very outstanding under his careful training: the eldest son was the vice mayor of Beijing, the second son was a major general, and the third son and son-in-law were also very powerful. The brilliance of their children has also earned Chen Yi a lot of face, and they have made great contributions to the construction of the motherland.
The eldest son, Chen Haosu
Chen Haosu was the first son of Chen Yi and his wife Zhang Qian. As the eldest son, Chen Yi's requirements for Chen Haosu were very strict, especially in terms of learning. Chen Haosu grew up under the careful guidance of Chen Yi, and he was also very serious about learning, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and his achievements in school were also very outstanding, and he belonged to the excellent students who were able to develop in all aspects.
When Chen Haosu was in high school, he had struggled with studying liberal arts or science, and in his opinion, he liked both liberal arts and sciences, but Chen Yi's words reminded him.
Chen Yi believes that it is the time when the motherland is developing rapidly, and the country needs more science and engineering talents, so he suggested that Chen Haosu study science, but did not force Chen Haosu to obey him, but chose to respect his son's opinions.
Chen Haosu, under the influence of Chen Yi, is also a person who loves the motherland, and after listening to his father's advice, he resolutely chose science and finally was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China.
Chen Haosu joined the Communist Party of China early on, and after graduating from university, he was assigned to work in the military research institute. After that, Chen Haosu became more interested in politics and decided to enter politics, and Chen Yi, as the founding marshal, naturally gave Chen Haosu a lot of help and support. In 1984, Chen Haosu successfully served as the vice mayor of Beijing and began his political career.
Second son Chen Danhuai
Unlike the changeable life trajectory of the eldest brother Chen Haosu, Chen Danhuai has had a strong interest in scientific research since he was a child. Because he is the second son, Chen Yi's discipline of Chen Danhuai is not as strict as Chen Haosu's, but Chen Danhuai has been a strict self-disciplined person since he was a child, and he is very strict in his studies, often asking teachers questions, willing to study when he encounters problems, and even not resting if he can't solve problems.
For the future way out, Chen Danhuai did not hesitate like Chen Haosu, he firmly chose science, and later entered the Kazakh military industry in the college entrance examination, mainly engaged in the research of military weapons.
After graduating from university, Chen Danhuai studied military missiles in the Air Force, and was later transferred to the National Defense Science and Technology Commission as a vice minister, and was a well-known "technical coffee." Because of his outstanding work ability, Chen Danhuai was awarded the rank of colonel in the army and later promoted to major general in 1992.
Chen Danhuai is relatively low-key, and does not like to show his face on weekdays, but only immerses himself in researching military weapons. He was deeply stimulated by the military story told to them by his young father, Chen Yi, whose equipment was very old and scarce, and some troops even wanted several people to share a rifle.
Chen Danhuai was determined to change the equipment dilemma of our army at a young age, and he wanted to develop more powerful weapons to improve China's military strength, and also to find ways to improve the production efficiency of military factories, so that soldiers no longer have to worry about weapons problems.
This thought has always been rooted in Chen Danhuai's heart, and it has never changed or wavered. His father Chen Yi gave Chen Danhuai a great influence, and also made him more determined to take the road he chose, and finally under his own continuous efforts, he also realized his original dream.
Young son and son-in-law
Chen Danhuai's youngest son, Chen Xiaolu, was born in Shandong. At that time, Chen Yi was busy with the affairs of the military region and could hardly take care of his younger son, so he put Chen Xiaolu on a farm in the army. Although Chen Yi did not personally teach Chen Xiaolu, he was also very strict with Chen Xiaolu, and he was not allowed to flaunt his military might as a general's child.
Chen Xiaolu later married Su Huining, the daughter of General Su Yu, and his life became increasingly stable, but Chen Xiaolu was born with a strong spirit in his bones, he was dissatisfied with the boring and tedious life in the army, and always wanted to go to the outside world to see.
Chen Xiaolu was later transferred back to Beijing with his wife, but unexpectedly, he gave up his decent job in Beijing and started doing business instead!
In the continuous struggle, Chen Xiaolu became a shareholder of SAIC Motor, but even if his life was already very rich, Chen Xiaolu was very simple and did not take the style of extravagance and lavishness, which was derived from his father Chen Yi's original teachings to him.
Chen Yi's younger daughter, Chen Congjun, is most loved by Chen Yi, but as a father, Chen Yi has not doted on his younger daughter without a bottom line. Chen Congjun later studied in Britain and the United States, became a famous scholar in China, and later became a diplomat under the influence of Chen Yi.
During his studies, Chen Congjun married his classmate Wang Guangya, who later became a diplomat and was known as "The First Person in China's Multilateral Diplomacy". The relationship between the husband and wife is also very harmonious, and they are each other's good helpers in family and career, which can be described as a "match made in heaven", which makes others envious.
brief summary:
A person's success, personal factors determine the end you can reach, while family factors determine your starting point. Chen Yi's children can have today's outstanding achievements, in addition to their own efforts, but also inseparable from Chen Yi's education.
As a high-ranking and powerful general, Chen Yi did not let his children live on his remnants, but pointed out the direction for their future, let the children work their own, and ceded the right of choice to their children, which is in stark contrast to many authoritarian parents today.
Compared with ordinary people in China, whether in spirit or material, the starting point of Chen Yi's children is already higher than many people, and the family provides a shortcut for them to achieve their ideals.
Compared with the current situation in China, a family with parents who understand education and have abundant material conditions is more able to cultivate excellent offspring than a family with low parents' cultural level and poor conditions.
