As we all know, children's character and traits are profoundly influenced by their parents. Meng Wanzhou, a woman who has been unjustly detained in Canada and the United States, but has always faced and argued calmly, these traits in her body are largely cultivated by her mother, Meng Jun.
Although Meng Jun and Ren Zhengfei divorced in 1987, Meng Wanzhou's growth over the years was more due to the careful teaching of her mother Meng Jun. Meng Jun, the name means perseverance and determination. Although she was born in a family of eunuchs in Sichuan and had outstanding looks and talents, she did not choose men who chased her famous families, but chose Ren Zhengfei, who was born poorly.
Their marriage was once regarded as a "good story". In the love life of the two, Meng Jun has always been a strong backing for Ren Zhengfei's career. Although the two chose to break up in the end, they still maintained a deep friendship, and Meng Jun gave great support to Ren Zhengfei in the process of founding Huawei.
Not only that, Meng Jun is also not soft on the cultivation of her daughter Meng Wanzhou, and she pours all her enthusiasm and wisdom into the education of her children. When Meng Wanzhou encountered injustice, Meng Jun provided him with many valuable suggestions with his rich life experience. Meng Wanzhou's calm and calm in the face of the media and the court has the shadow of her mother Meng Jun behind her.
In many interviews, Ren Zhengfei expressed his deep gratitude to Meng Jun. So, let's take a closer look at the story between Meng Jun and Ren Zhengfei and reacquaint ourselves with this great mother.
In stark contrast to today's Huawei boss Ren Zhengfei, he was born in a remote rural village in Guizhou, the eldest of seven children. His family's poverty often made him face hunger as a child, but as the eldest son in the family, he repeatedly considered giving up his studies to support his family.
However, his father was adamantly opposed to this decision, believing that only by studying hard could he truly change the fate of himself and his family. Relying on his dedication to his studies, Ren Zhengfei was finally successfully admitted to Chongqing Institute of Architecture and Engineering.
During his time at university, he devoted a lot of time every day to studying and quickly mastered the knowledge of his profession. He also used his free time to learn three foreign languages, which laid a solid foundation for his later career.
Despite his remarkable academic achievements, he is still the poor boy who just wants to eat a white-faced steamed bun. Unexpectedly, Meng Jun, who came from a famous family, chose him as his partner. Although Meng Jun has never lacked excellent suitors around her, she only sees Ren Zhengfei's indomitable hard work.
Ren Zhengfei once said in an interview that he never understood why he was at that time, such a "toad", was favored by a "white swan" like Meng Jun. However, emotional things are often so elusive.
Since they were both at the same university, the relationship between the two quickly heated up. After graduation, Meng Jun entered the oil industry, while Ren Zhengfei became a soldier. Although they often lived apart, this did not affect the relationship between them.
During his scientific career, Ren Zhengfei developed an air pressure gauge and made important contributions to the scientific field of the country. And Meng Jun's family background, especially her enlightened parents, played a role in this relationship. Their story has undoubtedly become a good story in many love stories.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the outside world, this model couple did not reach the end in the end. In 1987, after 17 years of ups and downs, the two decided to move towards the end of their marriage.
Faced with the end of this marriage, Ren Zhengfei did not express complaints, but in the days that followed, he always harbored gratitude to Meng Jun.
He thanked Meng Jun for his continued support and selfless dedication to their children even after the divorce.
Despite ending his marriage to Ren, Meng Jun has no regrets about this decision. Because she still maintains friendly contact with her ex-husband.
Perhaps because the affection between them has not completely disappeared, or out of a common concern for their children, their breakup process is not as noisy and conflicting as many couples.
Divorce is more like an opportunity for them to let go of their shackles and re-examine each other.
Although he ended his marriage with Ren Zhengfei, Meng Jun did not completely break off relations with him. She and her father provided strong support to Ren Zhengfei's subsequent career.
In the same year that they divorced in 1987, Ren raised 20,000 yuan to set up a communications company called Huawei.
The start-up Huawei is in a very vulnerable period and lacks technology and market foundation. When Ren Zhengfei was facing the crisis of entrepreneurial failure, his former father-in-law and Meng Jun reached out to help him through the difficulties.
At the same time, Meng Jun also became Ren Zhengfei's spiritual pillar, giving him advice and comfort in the face of difficulties in entrepreneurship. Her in-depth understanding of finance has brought many valuable suggestions to Huawei.
Since then, Meng Jun has transformed into a full-time mother, and she has devoted herself to raising her two children.
When they divorced, the eldest daughter Meng Wanzhou was just 15 years old, while the youngest son Meng Ping was only 12 years old. Meng Jun did not choose to enter into another marriage, but devoted most of his time and energy to the education of his children. Under her tutelage, Meng Wanzhou and Meng Ping inherited her traits: calm, rational, brave and witty.
Both children later graduated from top universities in China and held important positions at Huawei, which is inseparable from Meng Jun's long-term education and training. They have also made great contributions to Ren's cause.
Although the marriage ended, Meng Jun still had deep feelings for Ren Zhengfei. In search of solace, she resigned from the South Sea Oil Company in the 90s and went to the United States to find a new meaning in life.
Giving up her executive position, she focused on her family life, and although she was no longer part of the business world, she remained active in the social sphere and was often involved in various activities. During this time, her life did not change much other than raising children.
In 1998, Ren married Yao Ling, a female secretary 35 years younger than him.
Unexpectedly, Meng Jun not only supported the marriage, but also established a deep friendship with Yao Ling. Later, Meng Jun even helped them apply for birth permits.
In the new century, as a long-term single mother, Meng Jun began to find inner peace. In 2006, she began immersing herself in Buddhist studies.
She drew strength and serenity from the teachings of Buddhism, while she believed that "selfless devotion" was the true value of life.
With this inner strength, Meng Jun relied on his experience and contacts in the financial industry to create his own real estate company. She has also won a good reputation in the field of investment.
In addition, she is actively involved in philanthropy and has become a well-known female entrepreneur in the philanthropic industry. She generously donates money and participates in various public welfare activities many times.
She also served as the president of the International Children's Arts Festival and participated in many social welfare activities, including saving children.
She has donated to major charities not only once, such as Peking University Education Foundation, Shenzhen Foundation for the Rehabilitation of Poor Children, Red Cross Society of China, etc.
In 2018, Meng Jun and his daughter Meng Wanzhou donated 1 million Canadian dollars to the Vancouver Hospital Foundation for medical equipment purchases, hospital facility improvements and related research support.
Many people praised her generosity and enthusiasm. In her view, helping others is not only a social responsibility, but also an attitude to life.
Perhaps to most people, we hear more about her daughter, Meng Wanzhou.
Just like the tenacity and wisdom shown by the mother Meng Jun, Meng Wanzhou's story is also deeply concerned and respected by everyone. Since returning to China, she has not only been Huawei's CFO, but also a brave person who has fought for justice for China in a complex international environment.
In 2019, Meng Wanzhou set off home from Vancouver, Canada. This return journey contains countless difficulties and twists and turns. Since her arrest, she has endured a long 23-month house arrest and is cut off from the outside world, but she has stood by her convictions and never renounced her rights.
During this period, her life was greatly limited, and she spent every day going back and forth between the lawyer and the courtroom, and the company and support of her family was her greatest motivation. Her return is a huge victory for Huawei and China, and it is also a successful practice of China's diplomacy in defending national rights and interests.
After returning to China, Meng Wanzhou did not relax herself, but immediately devoted herself to Huawei's work. In the face of the technological blockade in the United States, she and her team adjusted the company's financial and market strategy in a short period of time, and worked hard to stabilize the company's operating conditions.
Today, Meng Wanzhou has also achieved dazzling results. She led Huawei to launch the Mate60, which was a victory. The United States is no longer unique, and Chinese technology has gradually broken the monopoly of chips in the United States.
Meng Wanzhou's achievements today are inseparable from the teachings of Meng Jun, who is a mother who gives wholeheartedly to her children and a philanthropist who selflessly contributes to social welfare.
