Li Changyu is a famous Chinese detective, in fact, his mother is more legendary and more worthy of being written.
Li Changyu's mother is named Wang Shuzhen, she was born in Rugao Town, Nantong County, Jiangsu Province, Shuxiang Mendi, since childhood was born beautiful and elegant, when she grew up, she was more literate and hyphenated, proficient in music, and generous in her appearance.
At the age of 19, she married Li Haomin, the son of a wealthy family in the same village.
Li Haomin has thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, tall and handsome, and the two people just happen to be a good couple.
Li Haomin wanted to run a family business, busy in the grain bank, and made his career prosperous, while Wang Shuzhen presided over the family's affairs.
The two were very affectionate, conceived five sons and eight daughters, and lived a sweet and prosperous life.
It was not until the 1940s that Li Haomin transferred his career to Taiwan and moved his family to Taiwan, and soon the unfortunate thing happened.
It was before the Spring Festival in 1949, Li Haomin bought a batch of fish fry in southern Jiangsu and transported them to Taiwan by the Taiping Ship, but the Taiping Ship unfortunately sank, and Li Haomin was killed.
At that time, Wang Shuzhen was 52 years old, and she was unwilling to accept the bad news, and hired a plane to look for the wrecked sea, but found nothing. With her husband dead, her family in the middle of the road, and a bunch of children to take care of, Wang Shuzhen could only pick up her spirits and try to support her crumbling home.
Wang Shuzhen has no business experience, in the face of the business mess left by her husband, she does not know how to clean up, can not retain partners, can not compete with competitors, and finally can only sell the real estate store to pay off the debt.
This was the trough of Wang Shuzhen's life.
But she didn't complain too much, took the child, found a dilapidated house on the outskirts of Taiwan, and still tried to live, although the life was extremely embarrassing.
At that time, Li Changyu, who was only a teenager, did not even have his own desk for studying, and needed to squeeze in with his brothers and sisters.
They did not have tuition fees for schooling, and some people advised Wang Shuzhen that it was better to let the eldest children drop out of school to work and earn money, so that the children could go to school and the hard work of raising her family could be shared.
But Wang Shuzhen refused.
She did not give up the education of her children, in order to raise children and raise a family, Wang Shuzhen did not hold the face of the past misses and wives, but went to the rich family to be a maid, to bring children to others, she can do any hard work, earn hard money, and pull the child up.
From a happy marriage to a sudden widow, from a rich lady to a maid maid, Wang Shuzhen was not overwhelmed by the hardships that life gave her, she herself had to be strong, work hard, and ask her children with this positive attitude towards life.
"In the future, we must have the ability to do it." Wang Shuzhen said this to the child.
Wang Shuzhen always encourages children to actively struggle and not to stop easily. For example, Li Changyu Li Changyu became an inspector after graduating from the police academy, and the treatment work was good. She said to her son: "You still have to continue to study, the master's degree is not enough, you have to read the doctorate." ”
Perhaps it is because Wang Shuzhen has strict requirements for children and leads by example that she has trained thirteen doctors, including scientific researchers, businessmen, designers, engineers, artists, advertisers, securities workers, etc., who have shined in all walks of life, three of which have been awarded the "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in the United States".
Wang Shuzhen is not just a chicken baby with a set, in fact, she is more "chicken" herself. At the age of 62, Wang Shuzhen decided to live in the United States for a long time, although she had not studied English before, she quickly passed the English test of the USCIS by self-study and obtained permanent residency.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this mother's example that her thirteen children can each become a dragon and a phoenix.
Wang Shuzhen's reason for educating children is very simple, and one of the words she often says is that we should treat people well, concentrate on doing things, talk less, and do more things.
This is teaching children to do things, but also teaching children to be human.
To treat others well is to be peaceful in one's own state of mind, not paranoid, not narrow-minded, not resentful, not to worship high and low, and to treat others kindly, so that it is good for others, in fact, it is good for oneself.
To do things to concentrate, is to do one thing to do one thing, not to be half-hearted, not impetuous and not anxious, such a calm and down-to-earth attitude to do things, and what is not good to do.
Talk less, that's because the more you say, the more you lose, the more disasters come out of your mouth, and the more you talk, the more likely you are to be flashy.
Doing more things, that is, settling down to do things, no matter what results are obtained, but always accumulating experience in doing things, and finally doing things better and better.
Wang Shuzhen's teachings on children are actually full of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, treating people well is Confucius's benevolence and lover, concentrating on doing things is the Taoist concentration of things I forget twice, talking less and doing more is the practicality of the Fa.
Wang Shuzhen herself has never forgotten that she is a Chinese, and she will use Jianghuai mandarin to communicate with children at home, and the local tone is always kind to her.
When her son Li Changyu was appointed director of the Connecticut Police Department for his meritorious efforts in solving the case, Wang Shuzhen was overjoyed and proud, and warned her son that he represented not only himself, but also Chinese.
Li Changyu has followed 6 governors as the head of the police department, and is the most experienced governor in the United States. And every time with the governor's departure, he asked to leave, and the new governors of the past always called Li Mu to "give orders" after the retention was ineffective.
After Li Changyu became a high-ranking police officer in the United States, he once said: "I am not afraid of any murderer or terrorist scene, I am only afraid that my mother will be angry." "This is afraid of the back, in fact, Li Changyu's strong love for his mother."
On Ms. Wang Shuzhen's 100th birthday, she received congratulations from President and Mrs. Clinton, who expressed their heartfelt blessings to her, because she was an excellent mother who had raised so many excellent children, and because she herself was a woman of excellent quality.
In 2003, the elderly Wang Shuzhen, who turned 106, passed away, and her funeral was very solemn.
Li Changyu is always proud of his mother: "Her funeral was very solemn and received high courtesy. Of course she herself couldn't see it. Police in many states in the United States have organized ceremonial teams to come over, and when the funeral comes out, motorcycles open the road, and many people stand there to salute her, showing respect for an old Chinese lady, and the entire street is traffic-controlled. Even the owner of the funeral home said: Their family has been engaged in funeral homes for three generations, and has never seen such a large-scale funeral, and many people say that they feel the glory of being Chinese. She lived to be 106 and also has a memorial in our hometown with a bronze statue of my mother. ”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen's life, through ups and downs, life ups and downs, she has seen the charming eyes of wealth and wealth, but also tasted the taste of poverty, but she has never been defeated by difficulties, from the trough of life and climbed up, with hard work and effort to cultivate children's academic career success, harvested her own legendary life.
Treat people well, concentrate on doing things, talk less, and do more things.
This is the way Wang Shuzhen left her children to behave and do things.
She demanded this from her children, and she herself did the same.
She did not give the child money, but gave the child an inexhaustible wealth for a lifetime, that is, a positive, kind and diligent attitude towards life.
