In 1966, the movie "Autumn Ong Encounter Immortals" was released in the mainland. The film tells the magical experience of an old man named Qiu Weng. Qiu Weng is an old man who loves flowers and grows roses and peonies in his yard. Although his life changed suddenly, he always had hope, and finally with the help of the immortals, he protected his carefully cared for flowers and harvested the spring colors of the garden.
Ma Jingfen, who was in her youth at the time, also watched the film, when she had just married Chu Shijian for less than a year, and knew nothing about the ups and downs of the decades that followed. Half a century later, the old man talked again about the movie "Autumn Ong Meets Immortals".
Looking back on her ups and downs in life, she said: "Chu Shijian and I are like Qiu Weng, we have encountered various changes, but we are also fortunate to have been favored by heaven. ”
Chu Shijian, a famous industrialist in the mainland. His life can be described as ups and downs, climaxes. Born in the countryside, he brewed wine and hunted as a teenager. Later, he was beaten as a rightist and suffered a lot. Later, he became the Smoke King through his own struggles, and after becoming the Smoke King, he was arrested and imprisoned. After being arrested and imprisoned, his legendary life did not end, he re-entered the public eye with the help of ice candy oranges, and changed from "smoke king" to "orange king".
At every stage of the legendary industrialist's life, one person can be seen, and that is his wife, Ma Jingfen, from the Smoke King to the Orange King, the prisoner to the billionaire, who was tied up by her for 62 years.
Today, let's take a look at the legendary life of "Orange King" Chu Shijian and his wife Ma Jingfen.
The Golden Boy and the Jade Girl have a good relationship
Ma Jingfen is a city native, born in Kunming, the "spring city" with a pleasant climate. Her family is well-off, her father is a bank manager, and her family is very rich. Because she is the second oldest in the family, relatives and friends jokingly call her "Second Miss".
At the same time, only five years older than her, Chu Shijian, who was born in the countryside, had already understood the hardships of life prematurely. His shoulders were not strong enough, and he had learned to carry the burden of his family. For the sake of his family's livelihood, when everyone else was still in the rebellious period of ignorance, the young Chu Shijian had begun to learn to make wine, hunt, and fish.
He even participated in guerrilla warfare and saw the cruelty of war and the sinister nature of human nature. The experience of his youth made Chu Shijian more mature and transparent than his peers.
So, what made Ma Jingfen, the big lady who "came to her hand to open her mouth", meet Chu Shijian, a poor boy in the countryside, and knew and fell in love with him?
It turned out that the torrent of the times had pushed these two young people who could not be beaten by eight rods together.
In 1954, in response to the call of the times, Ma Jingfen left the city. Ma Jingfen, who had short hair, became a primary school teacher in Chenggong County, and from then on, "Second Miss" became "Teacher Ma".
However, the name is easy to change, but the living habits and personality are difficult to change. Born in the city, Ma Jingfen, who has advanced education, is a different "bad girl" in the eyes of other colleagues, and she is very different from those traditional rural girls.
In the same year, Chu Shijian, then deputy head of the Propaganda Department of the Yuxi Prefectural Committee, was arranged to go to the Chenggong County Central Primary School to investigate, and this time he met the "bad girl" Ma Jingfen from the mouths of the teachers. So there was the first conversation between the two of them.
In this conversation, Chu Shijian realized that the girl in front of him was not only not a "bad girl", but also a rare good girl, she was confident, cheerful, cultured, assertive, and the kind of person he most admired. And the humorous, mature and stable Chu Shijian also left a good influence on Ma Jingfen.
The sharp turn of the Yuxi factory
After the two got married, they also had a period of peace and happiness, but the good times were not long. Chu Shijian was classified as a "rightist" in 1958, and not only was he deported himself but also implicated his wife Ma Jingfen.
Implicated because of her family status, Ma Jingfen had to separate from Chu Shijian and take her three-year-old daughter to the farm. The once spoiled "Second Miss" became a pig. A man with more than forty pigs can only receive a pitifully small salary of twelve yuan.
The hardships of life made Ma Jingjuan grow up quickly. Chu Shijian was constantly sent away, from the pasture to the farm to the sugar factory, the couple has been separated. Ma Jingfen could only live alone with her daughter, and even though she was full of grievances in her heart, she never had the idea of leaving Chu Shijian.
In 1979. Chu Shijian was rehabilitated when he had two choices – tadian coal mine and Yuxi cigarette factory.
Under the discussion of the two, Chu Shijian finally chose Yuxi Cigarette Factory, and it was because of this choice that Chu Shijian ushered in the first peak of his life.
In 1983, Chu Shijian made a bold decision - a loan of 23 million yuan to buy equipment, and in the following years, he successively moved the advanced equipment of the United States and Germany to the cigarette factory, and it was this decision that seemed a bit bold at the time, so that he seized an opportunity a few years later and became a "tobacco king".
In 1988, two earthquakes occurred in Yunnan, which seriously affected the development of the economy. In order to promote the post-earthquake recovery of the economy, the State Council decided to relax tobacco development in Yunnan. Chu Shijian seized this opportunity, and under his leadership, the cigarette factory created a new "three-in-one" game.
The new business model skips various middlemen, cooperates directly with tobacco farmers, and sets up its own specialty stores to sell products directly after they are produced. Since then, Yuxi Cigarette Factory seems to have opened a hanging, and profits have continued to grow. Even when government leaders came to inspect, they joked that the Yuxi Cigarette Factory was actually a "money printing factory", which showed its success.
Comeback after the trough
The Yuxi Cigarette Factory made Chu Shijian a great success, when he was rated as an outstanding entrepreneur in the country, one of the top ten reform figures, and was idolized by countless businessmen.
The good times did not last long, and an anonymous whistleblower letter plunged Chu Shijian into the biggest trough in his life. The whistleblower letter pointed out that Chu Shijian was embezzled and bribed, and soon Ma Jingfen and her daughter Chu Yingqun were taken in for trial by the relevant departments. Soon, Chu Yingqun ended his life by committing suicide in prison.
At the time of the incident, Chu Shijian was inspecting the United States. When the news came, Chu Shijian, who was almost seventy years old, couldn't help but burst into tears, and a strong sense of remorse arose in his heart.
In January 1999, Chu Shijian was sentenced to life imprisonment and Ma Jingfen was acquitted. Acquitted, Ma Jingfen lost her beloved daughter, but she did not give up the hope of life, but chose a tenacious life, because she knew that there was another person in prison that she could not give up.
In 2002, Chu Shijian was granted medical parole due to severe diabetes. He and Ma Jingfen can live together again. After being released on medical parole, Chu Shijian could not bear to live without doing anything, and under the inspiration of his brother, the couple planted oranges in Ailao Mountain. In the beginning, the oranges planted by the two old men were not produced well and sold badly.
After a period of loss, the two decided to divide the work, Chu Shijian was responsible for planting, and Ma Jingfen was responsible for sales. After groping for several years, the two people's planting career is finally on the right track, and "Inspirational Orange" and "Chu Orange" are all over the country. Chu Shijian also created a legend after planting oranges for ten years and became a billionaire. In the past ten years, the husband and wife have encountered countless difficulties, and Ma Jingfen has even suffered from cancer, but they have all carried them one by one.
Later, when someone interviewed Ma Jingfen, he asked: "What do you think of the woman behind Chu Shijian who calls you?" Do you agree with this statement? ”
Ma Jingfen smiled and replied, "I am not the woman behind him, I have always been by his side." Accompany him through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, accompany him to struggle. The two of us are tied together in this life, and neither of us can be separated from the other. ”
Chu Shijian is a legendary entrepreneur, and Ma Jingfen is not a legendary woman. The world is uncertain, there is such a person, can not abandon you to support you, guard you. She shares the joy of success with you and bears the consequences of failure with you.
True feelings can withstand the ups and downs of fate and the joys and uncertainties of life. A true partner can advise you on your path to success, and can also give you companionship and warmth when you are frustrated. May everyone meet the partner who is willing to "bind" you for the rest of your life.
