Jin Jiang Hotel, now located in the bustling downtown of Shanghai, is a well-known and established hotel in Shanghai.
However, it was founded by Dong Zhujun, a strange woman known as "China's A Xin".
The grace of the dripping water, when the spring reciprocates. This is an old saying that has been handed down in China to this day, and its spirit has always been praised by the world and passed down from generation to generation.
This sentence also followed Dong Zhujun through her 97 years of life, because of the help she received from a karmic meeting, Dong Zhujun remembered this kindness in her heart, and this memory is a lifetime.
Li Chonggao, as a nobleman of Dong Zhujun, funded her to open the Jin Jiang Hotel.
Let Dong Zhujun completely change her fate in the year of her establishment.
She used the second half of her life to do her best to repay Li Gaoli, who was kind to her, even after she had already paid off her debts, she still regarded him as a nobleman, and this loyalty made people move.
But she didn't want her to suffer because of Li Gaogao in her later years.
Desperate, door-to-door righteousness
Dong Zhujun, a woman born in the late Qing Dynasty, was born in a slum in Shanghai, her father made a living by pulling rickshaws, and her mother was diligent and thrifty, but because of her difficult life, she cried bitterly all day.
Even so, his parents still single-handedly sent Dong Zhujun to a private school.
But the good times did not last long, because of his father's illness, the top beams and pillars of the family collapsed, and under the force of helplessness, his father could only do so
When Dong Zhujun was 12 years old, he was sent to Qinglou as a "Qingqi person" for three years, selling his art and not selling himself.
In this brothel, Dong Zhujun met her husband Xia Shi, a revolutionary, that is, with the help of Xia Shi, Dong Zhujun escaped from the brothel that shackled her for two years and married Xia Shi.
The two then went to Japan, where Dong zhujun enrolled at the Tokyo Girls' Higher Normal School.
When Dong Zhujun was 15 years old, Xia Shi was ordered to return to Sichuan, and in the next two years, she completed her studies in Tokyo, and originally wanted to go to Paris to study after she graduated at the age of 17, but Xia Shi, who did not want the couple to be separated for a long time, insisted that she return to Hejiang, Sichuan.
Dong Zhujun, who can live the life of husband and wife, is not happy, and due to the closure and backwardness of the Xia family, Dong Zhujun, who has read books and stayed in the west and seen the world, feel extremely suffocated and depressed. The two men's thoughts and pace were completely at odds.
At that time, Dong Zhujun's eldest daughter was out of measles, Dong Zhujun deliberately vacated a room, more than 40 days and nights to take care of it, until the eldest daughter fully recovered, but for Dong Zhujun's approach, Xia Shi was very unhappy, in his feudal thinking, always believed that it should not be done for a girl's illness.
In this pile of family affairs, the open-minded Dong Zhujun and the closed Xia Shi accumulated many contradictions, and the biggest problem between the two was the education of their children, and Xia Shi believed that girls did not need to read more, which was strongly opposed by Dong Zhujun, who had received a good education since childhood.
Finally, in 1929,
Dong Zhujun resolutely left Sichuan with his four children and returned to Shanghai.
In Shanghai, where five mothers and daughters lived in a hut, Dong Zhujun, who had no income at the time, made ends meet on pawns, but even so, her determination to educate her daughters never wavered.
In a school speech by Mr. Lu Xun, Dong Zhujun knew that his four daughters could not understand it, but still took them to the class, hoping that they could be educated in such a bookish environment.
And it was during this period when she was most difficult to rent in Shanghai that she met the noble man who changed her life's destiny, Li Chonggao.
Li Chonggao was just an ordinary revolutionary, and when he was in Sichuan, he heard that Dong Zhujun, the wife of Xia Shi, who was also a revolutionary, had run away from home, and then when he came to Shanghai, he wanted to visit him.
But after entering the door, Li Chonggao saw the four walls of the family, the five mothers and daughters living in embarrassment, out of sympathy,
He decided to fund Dong Zhujun 2000 Ocean.
This was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for Dong Zhujun, whose father died at that time and was poor.
But the cautious Dong Zhujun initially did not accept the kindness of Li Chonggao, who had only one side of the relationship.
For her at that time, the 2000 ocean could indeed save her from water and fire, but Dong Zhujun, who had seen the world, also understood that there was no free lunch in the world.
And what made Dong Zhujun really decide to accept Li Chonggao's valuable intention was because of a sentence he said when he visited again:
I borrowed this money from you, since it is borrowed, don't be burdened in your heart, I believe you can use this money on the blade.
”
This time, Dong Zhujun did not shirk it any longer, because in her heart, there was already an idea quietly arising.
She wanted to open a restaurant, which was not difficult for Dong Zhujun, who had previously run a yarn pipe factory by pawning, and she had her own ideas about business.
In 1935, she relied on Li Chonggao's 2,000 ocean funding to open the "Jinjiang Snack", which is now the "Jinjiang Hotel".
In the year of establishment, fate reversed
Dong Zhujun, who opened the "Jinjiang Snack", was exactly 35 years old at this time.
And Li Chonggao's help to her is not only in terms of money, but also in terms of manpower, he also provides her with help.
He arranged for two of his students in Sichuan to go to Jinjiang for a dinner to help Dong Zhujun, who had just opened the restaurant.
These two students are Liu Bowu and Wen Ziyan, whom Dong Zhujun mentions in her memoirs.
For these two people, Dong Zhujun arranged them in key and important positions.
Liu Bowu is responsible for cashiers, and Wen Ziyan is responsible for procurement.
At this time, Li Chonggao went to Japan because of his revolutionary cause.
Dong Zhujun's Jinjiang chef, because of its delicious dishes, gradually had a place in the Shanghai Beach at that time.
People from all walks of life called friends and friends, flocked to it, and the guests who had eaten Jinjiang Kitchen were full of praise for its dishes, and for a while, the upstairs and downstairs were overcrowded.
Just when Dong Zhujun was completely turning himself over because of this successful business, the fate of Li Chonggao, who crossed japan in the east, began to decline.
Due to the betrayal of his friends, Li Gaogao's wealth was lost, and at the same time, because of political factors, his safety was also threatened in Japan.
In desperation, Li Chonggao had to turn to Dong Zhujun, who had become famous because of Jinjiang's small kitchen at that time.
Dong Zhujun did not forget Li Chonggao's dripping grace at that time
Without hesitation, he remitted the money to him, not only repaying Li Chonggao's 2,000 oceans, but also bearing Li Chonggao's life in Shanghai after that.
Li Chonggao, who had been in Shanghai for a year, wanted to return to Sichuan again to look for opportunities, but he did not know that this farewell had become a farewell for him and Dong Zhujun.
Dong Guo and the wolf are too kind and counterproductive
Dong Zhujun treated Liu Bowu and Wen Ziyan like his own flesh and blood.
During Liu Bowu's illness and hospitalization, Dong Zhujun, even if he was busy in the restaurant, would still take time to visit him every day, and when Liu's hometown wrote to him that he was about to stop cooking, she did not hesitate to pay for him to buy land, and when he got married later, she also took out 20 taels of gold to pay for him.
For Wen Ziyan, Dong Zhujun is also treated with his heart and lungs, and when he wanted to leave the restaurant to open a dance hall, she gave a large amount of funding.
Even later, because of Wen's own reasons and people, a lawsuit was filed, and dong Zhujun asked a lawyer to solve it.
Dong Zhujun had no intention of asking for anything in return for the two students that Li Chonggao had left for her, but she did not expect that in the end, what she exchanged was the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf.
Dong Zhujun, who was more than half a hundred years old, received a summons from the court after Wen Ziyan died of lung disease, and the plaintiff turned out to be Liu Bowu and Wen Ziyan's wife.
The reasons for their complaint are:
Dong Zhujun sought wealth and killed Wen Ziyan.
For this reason, Dong Zhujun wrote in his memoirs decades later as "
Puzzled false accusations
Until then, she had not understood why the two people she had been treating well would eventually sue her.
In order to solve this lawsuit, Dong Zhujun ran around collecting evidence, so that she was no longer young at that time, exhausted and suffered.
But even if it is treated like this,
When Liu Bowu died in 1985, Dong Zhujun, who was 85 years old, still sent a telegram of condolence.
brief summary:
Even if Li Chonggao's money and wealth were paid off at that time, what Dong Zhujun had always remembered was this affection sent in the snow, and for this precious heart, he used his life to repay Li Chonggao, and even moved this kindness to his two students.
Dong Zhujun's "loyalty" to Li Chonggao stems from her drinking water, and she does not forget her teacher's kindness, even after being slandered, she still complains with virtue.
But there is also a saying since ancient times"
A bowl of rice nourishes the benefactor, and a bucket of rice feeds the enemy
", gratitude and charity should be limited, and excessive kindness not only does not transmit their goodwill, but may also backfire.
