This is a very rare photograph of former Premier Li Peng and his two sons.
On the left is the youngest son Li Xiaoyong, and on the right is the eldest son Li Xiaopeng, when the father and son left this precious photo in Beijing, which was not made public until many years later.
Now that so many years have passed, Li Xiaopeng and Li Xiaoyong have grown up and become talents.
Li Xiaopeng is now the secretary of the party group and minister of the Ministry of Transport, while Li Xiaoyong has followed the path of his grandfather Li Shuoxun and joined the army in 1979.
In addition to their own excellence, they could not have achieved their current achievements without the education of Comrade Li Peng.
Comrade Li Peng once wrote an autobiographical book in which he recorded his life and family, and from this book, we are fortunate to see Comrade Li Peng's revolutionary journey and family life.
After reading it, you will understand why Comrade Li Peng is admirable and why his children can also do the sky!
Comrade Li Peng is widely known not only because he was premier of the State Council, but also because of his relationship with Premier Zhou and Deng Yingchao.
There was once a rumor that Li Peng was Premier Zhou's adopted son, to which he specifically responded:
"Some people say that I am Premier Zhou's adopted son, which is not correct, because I am not the only martyr child that Premier Zhou and Deng Mother (Deng Yingchao) care about, they also care about the children of other comrades-in-arms. ”
Because Premier Zhou and Deng Yingchao took better care of Li Peng, such rumors appeared, but in fact, Premier Zhou and his wife had the same love for each martyr's child.
The reason why they are close to and love Li Peng has a lot to do with his biological parents.
Li Peng's biological father is named Li Shuoxun, and his mother's name is Zhao Juntao, and their parents' family backgrounds are good, and they could have lived a life without worrying about food and clothing, but for the sake of the motherland, they resolutely gave up their privileges.
There are many celebrities in Zhao Juntao's family, among which the fifth brother Zhao Shiyan is the most famous, the third sister Zhao Shilan, the second brother Zhao Shiyu, and the third brother Zhao Shijiong are all revolutionary cadres.
In 1926, Li Shuoxun and Zhao Juntao married, and after marriage, both husband and wife devoted themselves to the revolution, and the following year, the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup broke out, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, and the domestic situation suddenly became grim.
Li Shuoxun and Zhao Juntao got together less and left more due to work reasons, and even when Li Peng was born in 1928, Li Shuoxun was unable to take care of Zhao Juntao by her side.
When Li Peng was half a year old, their husband and wife got together, and Li Shuoxun gave Li Peng's name Li Yuanpeng, which was later changed to Li Peng, and after the family was reunited for a short time, Li Shuoxun was transferred to work in the Red Seventh Army.
On the way, due to the sacrifice of Comrade Cai Hesen, then the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, Li Shuoxun's position also changed, and he was reappointed as the secretary of the Military Commission of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee.
His office was in Hong Kong at the time, and Zhao Juntao and Li Peng also came to Hong Kong with the approval of the organization.
I thought that this next family could be together, but in July 1931, Li Shuoxun was betrayed by a traitor on the way to Hainan and was unfortunately arrested.
In prison, the enemy tortured Li Shuoxun to force him to reveal the secrets of other companions and the party, and Li Shuoxun refused to give in, and was brutally murdered by the enemy in September 1931.
Before the inauguration, Li Shuoxun left a letter to Zhao Juntao, asking her to take good care of the child, but what he didn't know was that Zhao Juntao was four months pregnant.
Zhao Juntao was grief-stricken to learn of her husband's sacrifice, but she had to be strong because she still had two children to take care of.
In order to survive, Zhao Juntao first returned to Shanghai, gave birth to his daughter Li Qiong, and the family of three came to Chengdu, Sichuan, and defected to Zhao Juntao's second brother Zhao Shiyu.
In order to support the children, Zhao Juntao began to teach to earn money, and at the same time she has been in secret contact with the organization, Deng Yingchao knows that she has lost her husband and has two children, so she takes care of her.
As he grew older, Li Peng gradually became sensible, and in 1940, when he was studying at the Chongqing Yucai School, he received a notice to go to Yan'an.
It was also at this time that he met Premier Zhou for the first time.
Zhao Juntao took Li Peng to the Zhou Mansion in Zengjiayan in Chongqing to meet Premier Zhou and his wife, and the two of them were particularly fond of Li Peng.
Li Peng, like other children of martyrs, called Premier Zhou Uncle Zhou and Deng Yingchao Mother Deng.
When he heard that Li Peng was studying at the Yucai School, Premier Zhou asked him what he had studied, and then asked some questions.
Therefore, Premier Zhou praised him very much, and Zeng Jiayan also knew that there was an outstanding student from Yucai School.
After arriving in Yan'an, Li Peng changed his current name and continued to use it until his death.
He was educated in Yan'an for a period of time, during which time he had more contact with Premier Zhou, and later went to Zhangjiakou to continue his studies, and in 1948 he went to study in the Soviet Union.
In 1955, Li Peng returned to China after completing his studies, went deep into the grassroots, and went to Jilin to serve as the deputy director of the Fengman Power Plant, and in 1957, he met his beloved Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin, formerly known as Zhu Jiling, was a translator who attended the New Year's Day Gala with Li Peng in 1957.
There were also Soviets at the party, Zhu Lin served as an interpreter, and Li Peng, as the leader of the Fengman Power Plant, was also invited.
Whether it is her delicate appearance or her outstanding work ability, Li Peng is impressed by her.
He studied in the Soviet Union and knew how good Zhu Lin's translation skills were, which made Li Peng even more eager to get to know her.
During the meal, they sat at the same table, and Li Peng did not have a chance to talk to her, but when dancing after the meal, Li Peng plucked up the courage and invited her to be his dance partner twice.
Only then did they get to know each other, and after getting to know Zhu Lin better, Li Peng became more affectionate for her, and for a long time after that, Li Peng would always send a gift or write a letter to Zhu Lin from time to time.
Zhu Lin could see that Li Peng was interesting to her, but she did not rashly agree, but slowly understood his character in the process of getting along.
With the deepening of their relationship, the two gradually developed from friends to lovers, Li Peng loved Zhu Lin's elegance and generosity, and Zhu Lin loved Li Peng's talent and appearance.
In the Spring Festival of 1958, Li Peng sent Zhu Lin to Beijing to meet his mother, and Zhao Juntao was very fond of Zhu Lin and slept in the same bed with her.
After a year, Zhu Lin stayed with Zhao Juntao for another month, and Li Peng returned to plumpness.
For Zhu Lin's daughter-in-law, Zhao Juntao loves her more and more, she is very much in favor of this marriage, the two families met each other, and the marriage of Zhu Lin and Li Peng was also decided.
In July 1958, with the blessings of relatives and friends, Li Peng and Zhu Lin walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.
After marriage, the two were in love as before, Li Peng had to travel frequently due to work, and every time he went out, he would keep in touch with Zhu Lin and tell her what new things he had encountered outside.
The two have a happy marriage and a happy family, and have two sons and a daughter.
The eldest son, Li Xiaopeng, was born on June 7, 1959, and he had a small accident before he was born.
After Zhu Lin became pregnant, she came to Beijing to live with Zhao Juntao, and Zhao Juntao usually took care of her, while Li Peng continued to work in Fengman.
It was the end of May, Zhu Lin and her mother-in-law Zhao Juntao took the bus together, and when the two were humble to each other, the bus driver braked suddenly, and Zhu Lin did not stand firm and squatted down.
This collision, Zhu Lin suddenly felt bad, and he was bleeding.
Zhao Juntao was frightened, and hurriedly took her to the hospital for examination, and after the doctor saw Zhu Lin's condition, he said that she was not in good condition and should be hospitalized immediately for examination.
Zhao Juntao was anxious and quickly contacted Deng Yingchao.
Deng Yingchao found China's top gynecology expert at that time to diagnose and treat Zhu Lin, the expert looked at Zhu Lin's body, and asked Zhao Juntao a question, if the situation is not good, do you want an adult or a child?
Zhao Juntao said that he wanted to, and asked the doctor to do his best to save both adults and children.
Li Peng was so anxious that he could only call his mother again and again to inquire about the situation.
Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger, Zhu Lin successfully gave birth to a son, the mother and son were safe, the husband and wife named the child Li Xiaopeng, usually Zhu Lin called her son Xiaopeng, and her husband was "Dapeng".
When Li Xiaopeng grew up, he was admitted to the North China Electric Power Institute, is a senior engineer, has made outstanding contributions to electric power, and has also served as the governor of Shanxi Province, and is currently the party secretary and minister of the Ministry of Transport, with outstanding achievements.
The eldest daughter, Li Xiaolin, was born in 1961.
When his daughter was born, Li Peng stayed outside the delivery room, and only when his daughter was born safely did he hurry to work.
After Li Xiaolin's name was decided, Li Peng called his daughter Xiaolin, and his wife was "Da Lin".
"Da Lin" and "Da Peng" are their affectionate names for each other, and they have been calling this title for many years, which shows the sweetness of their love.
This time she gave birth to Li Xiaolin, Zhu Lin's body was damaged, because she had been breastfeeding Li Xiaolin, and her own nutrition had not been able to keep up, so the postpartum recovery was very poor.
is also for this reason, they once didn't want the third Li Xiaoyong.
The third son, Li Xiaoyong, was born on September 6, 1963, and when he learned that he was pregnant, Li Peng thought about not wanting this child.
He was worried that Zhu Lin's newly recovered body would be damaged again due to pregnancy, but the doctor told them that according to previous experience, the root of the disease left by the previous month could be cured if it could be cured in the next month.
In this way, the couple decided to keep the child.
After Li Xiaoyong was born, he originally wanted to follow Zhao Juntao's name, but Zhao Juntao wanted this child to join the army to protect his family and defend the country like his grandfather Li Shuoxun in the future, so he named him Li Xiaoyong.
After growing up, Li Xiaoyong really entered the army and inherited the mantle of his grandfather.
Not only are these two sons promising, but their daughter Li Xiaolin is also not inferior.
She graduated from Tsinghua University and has served as the chairman of China Power International Co., Ltd., the chairman of the board of directors and the CEO of China Power International Development Co., Ltd., and is known as the "first sister of electric power".
After she retired in 2018, she chose the same path as her grandmother - education.
Her father, Li Peng, studied at the Yucai School founded by the famous educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi, and she became the chairman of the Management Committee of the Tao Xingzhi International Education Fund and the president of the Xingzhi Silk Road Research Institute.
She is also the chief planner of the documentary "A Century of Giants", and has twice appeared on the list of global strong women in business by Fortune magazine.
Li Xiaolin's life is brilliant, she has lived up to her parents' education for her, and she has also found her own value, shining in the field she likes and loves.
Comrade Li Peng's family is a person who has made contributions to the country and the people, and although he has left, he will live forever in the hearts of future generations, and I also wish Comrade Li Peng's family peace, joy, and good health.
