Margaret Thatcher, as Britain's first female prime minister, stirred up her life in politics in the last century under the name of her "Iron Lady".
As a student, she struggled to go upstream, completing five years of Latin courses in one year;
Inside Buckingham Palace, she only bent her knees in front of the Queen of England, and would use the excuse of "busy official business" to make an appointment with the entire royal family;
In the political arena of the 90s, surrounded by male politicians, she dominated the sky.
With such a fierce style, even the Queen of England, who has lived for nearly a century, has only met one Margaret Thatcher.
However, such a brilliant life cannot escape the tragic old age of loneliness and hardship.
In Margaret Thatcher's life, there are two major obstacles that cannot be overcome.
One is that in 1982, when the talks in the Great Hall of the People failed, they had to politely surrender Hong Kong; after going out, they fell on the stone steps at the entrance of the Great Hall, becoming a pun on the history of the incomparable tacit understanding.
The other is her son, a loser who has been spoiled since childhood, and who has been fooling around with his mother and has finally achieved nothing; his mother has been sick in her late years, but he is out and about, ignoring his sick mother.
No wonder the old man always says that a child who is not a tool is the debt of the parents in this life.
Margaret Thatcher wrestled
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > how the "Iron Lady" is made</h1>
Thatcher was born in 1925 to a small-town Family in England. There is a father who specializes in "chicken babies" in the family, who has been educating Thatcher since he was a child - no matter what he does, he must strive to be first-class, even if it is a small matter such as taking a bus, he must sit in the first row and not lag behind others.
Adhering to his father's teachings, Thatcher was also quite strict with himself. She had completed the entire Latin textbook in one year, while it would take a normal student five years to complete!
The so-called strict self-discipline means that you have a hard hand on yourself, do not play or make trouble, and squeeze out all the time in the sponge seam.
Margaret Thatcher as a student
In 1943, Thatcher was admitted to the Department of Chemistry at Oxford University.
During her college years, Thatcher found that the chemistry major was extremely boring, unable to mobilize the excitement and throbbing in her blood; instead, she joined the party and discussed politics.
After graduation, Thatcher worked as a chemical researcher, studying law after work, and with a small salary, she traveled to party meetings, debates and mass meetings.
As she said when she was 18: "Politics has been integrated into my blood."
Politics, playing the game of money. With Thatcher's meager salary and enthusiasm alone, he is separated from the center of power.
In 1950, Thatcher met a wealthy businessman named Denise, who was rich in money and was a full ten years older than Thatcher.
In the decades that followed, this Mr. Denise became Thatcher's biggest financier. Invested in Thatcher's admission to the Bar Association, and then entered politics all the way to the british prime minister.
The other identity of this Mr. Denise is that of Margaret Thatcher's husband; the two are envied for their 52-year marriage.
Margaret Thatcher and Denis
Dennes once described Margaret Thatcher this way:
I've spent decades with an amazing woman and all I can do is love and loyalty.
And Thatcher also expressed his most sincere gratitude to Denis for his efforts:
Without Danny's side, I wouldn't have been prime minister for 11 years.
The road of 52 years of marriage, so know and love each other, can be described as perfect; if the only drawback is the crystallization of this marriage - a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses of the two people, not so Jackie Chan into a phoenix, and even can be said to be a son of man!
Thatcher's family
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > son of an incomplete instrument</h1>
Margaret Thatcher married Denis and had a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. Although they are from the same root, somehow Thatcher has a great preference for his son Mark, but is doubly harsh on his daughter Carol.
Under the mother's "imbalance between men and women" education, the adult Carol went to Switzerland and settled abroad, and the mother and daughter rarely saw each other; and the son Mark, under the doting, grew into an unanheated "mother treasure man", acting in the name of the mother, playing a good hand but playing a mess.
(C) Mark. Thatcher
Mark has not been a fuel-efficient lamp since he was a student.
Since he was a child, he has been a "school bully", with a red light on the door of the grade door and the first place in the fight. The teacher was afraid of Mark's family power and did not dare to discipline him too much.
Mark wanted to take the accounting exam on a whim, and Margaret Thatcher found him the best tutor, but he didn't pass the exam for three years, and finally didn't even get into a university.
Mark who walked out of the school door was more like a caged wild dog, fighting for his mother's power and taking it as his daily routine to cause trouble.
Mark was tired of staying in London and felt that it was difficult to have a head start, so he proposed to go to Hong Kong to "break out of his own piece of the sky". So, under that Mrs. Thatcher's care, several companies extended invitations to Mark.
Unfortunately, the brother of the prime minister's family is a man who can only drink tea and read the newspaper. He didn't have to stay at every company for three months before he felt that life was boring, so he hastily left his job and rushed to the next job opportunity that opened his arms to him.
Working for others is not Mark's dream, and this mother treasure man has thrown himself at his mother, claiming to start his own business and become a boss.
The son demanded so fervently that Mrs. Thatcher, who loved her son as she was destined, could not agree. With her support, Mark opened a racing company.
Thatcher was in a state of great power. As soon as Mark's company opened, various sponsors and customers broke through the threshold, and Mark became the first person to count money in bed.
The naïve Mark thinks that he knows a lot about business and has made a lot of money on the first business; he doesn't know that people outside secretly call him a "business pickpocket" behind his back.
Mark, who made a little money, was even more bloated.
In 1982, Mark drove his car alone across the Algerian border, without any communications and rescue equipment.
In the vast desert, Mark did not hear from him for four whole days. Mrs. Thatcher, who has always been known as the "Iron Lady", shed the tears of her old mother in public for the first time.
She used all her connections to plead with governments to help her find her son. Britain sent the Royal Air Force, France sent four military aircraft, and Algeria sent four reconnaissance planes for carpet desert searches.
Whether lucky or unlucky, Mark was eventually rescued in the desert.
In order to show the distinction between public and private, Margaret Thatcher paid 2,000 pounds out of her own pocket and paid the RAF to show her integrity and justice; but her precious son Mark did not have such a high level of political awareness.
After being rescued, he stayed in a hotel in Algeria, treated the rescuers like servants, without the slightest gratitude, and spent all kinds of famous alcohol and cigarettes in the hotel without giving a dime.
Arrogant, I almost didn't write "My mother is Thatcher" on the door of my head.
Margaret Thatcher thought that an unmarried man was always a little naïve; so the crowd sought him out and picked a rich American businessman to give Mark his wife.
The old mother is powerful, the wife is rich, it is reasonable to say that Mark has lived the dream of all men, how should it be stopped. But how can Mark, who has a lofty ambition for a boy and a very high self-esteem, settle his life?
In 2004, Mark was arrested and imprisoned for funding a coup d'état in Equatorial Guinea. Mrs. Thatcher could only drag her sick body to South Africa, lick her old face and negotiate with the judge, and finally paid a fine of 275,000 pounds to get her son back.
This year, Margaret Thatcher is already 79 years old.
After this incident, Mark's wife quickly divorced him and broke off relations, returned to her mother's house with the child, and left a message for her husband before leaving: "You are a man who has achieved nothing without leaving his mother." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" > bleak evening scene is lamentable</h1>
A generation of female ministers who were once blind to the crowd sent away their husbands who accompanied her for a lifetime at the age of 78; it was also from this year that her body was worse than a day, and stroke and Senile dementia gradually devoured this strong woman who had an iron wrist.
Thatcher's daughter Carol once complained: "My mother's health is deteriorating, and my loser brother should bear great responsibility." ”
While Thatcher was sick, she did not receive the same reward from her son.
In her later years, she was already delirious. Everyday routine is to sit by the window and watch the crowds on the street in a daze. Her bedside was filled with photographs of her children and grandchildren, but she was accompanied by guards and paramedics day and night.
Her son and daughter only come to see her once every 6 months on average.
In this regard, her daughter Carol is also vibrant:
My mother shouldn't expect me to see her often, and everyone whose family was away had ever been around. When I was young, I often didn't see my mother.
In 2013, Margaret Thatcher passed away in solitude, while her beloved son was still abroad.
Shortly after Thatcher's death, a pair of children auctioned off all 418 of her belongings: the amethyst ring that Margaret Thatcher wore when she was elected prime minister; the gemstone bracelet she wore when meeting President Mandela; and the portrait of her by the famous painter Sergei.
The auction made a profit of £4.5 million. In the hearts of a pair of children, real money and silver are real; the existence of the mother is now only an abstract conceptual symbol.
For parents, the payment of love is not only money and material, but also equal treatment and physical and mental companionship.
As children, you need to know that there are old cows and calves in this world and more crows feeding, and any love is not a free gift.
