Chen Yonggui, an ordinary farmer known as the "peasant prime minister", has served the country and the people all his life, and has written an extraordinary chapter in his life with his simple and unpretentious actions. How did an ordinary peasant turn a piece of barren land into a national agricultural benchmark? What makes people lose their glasses even more is that many years after Chen Yonggui's death, his son Chen Mingliang broke the shocking news -- it turned out that Lao Chen's will had actually been changed! What is the purpose of it, and what kind of secret will his will have? Follow my article to let us find out.
Chen Yonggui, this name has an indelible mark on modern Chinese history. He is not only the founder of Dazhai, but also a real people's hero. In 1963, a sudden rainstorm caused Dazhai to face a serious disaster, but under the leadership of the village party secretary, the people of Dazhai did not bow to nature, but puffed up their chests to resist the disaster, and finally not only rebuilt their homes, but also exceeded the agricultural production task.
You may not know that the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee also wanted to allocate funds to Dazhai, but Chen Yonggui politely rejected this kindness, and he put forward the policy of "three don'ts, three no less", which showed the determination of Dazhai people to be self-reliant. This spirit was later learned by the whole country, and Chairman Mao even called on the country's agriculture to "learn from Dazhai".
Chen Yonggui has a soft spot for his youngest son, Chen Mingming, and he always affectionately calls Xiao Mingliang "little naughty". Although he was the leader of a country, Chen Yonggui never used his power to seek any benefits for his family, which was extremely rare at the time.
In 1986, Chen Yonggui's health deteriorated rapidly, and in the face of the imminent end of his life, his biggest regret was that he could not see his son finish his education. On his deathbed, he discussed with his wife to make a will, originally intending to hand over all his savings as party dues, but after his wife's words, he fell into deep thought.
This decision is undoubtedly made out of deep love for the family. Chen Yonggui has been poor all his life and has never had any greed, and his decision is to bear the responsibility of his family. Chen Mingliang later did not live up to his father's expectations, he completed his studies at Beijing Normal University through his own efforts, and then chose to be self-reliant, relying on his own efforts to find a place in society.
After Chen Mingliang succeeded in his career, he inherited his father's spirit and insisted on "only earning what should be earned, and not earning any money that should not be earned". He has mentioned many times in public that it was his father's will and his father's attitude towards life that influenced his life.
The fact that the will was changed revealed by Chen Ming himself made the outside world full of curiosity about the story behind the will. Who is it, and why should he revise a hero's will? Behind this is not only a trivial matter of the family, but also touches on the interpretation and understanding of the hero's private life.
After in-depth understanding, we can find that the amendment of the will was not out of any improper motives, but out of the family's deep concern for Chen Yonggui's unfinished business and a sense of responsibility for the education of future generations. This can be seen from Chen Yonggui's emphasis on education during his lifetime. He once said that education is the greatest hope for the countryside, and only education can completely change the face of the countryside.
The revision of the will may seem like a change of original will at the time, but on a deeper level, it reflects Chen Yonggui's consistent feelings for his family and country and far-reaching consideration for future generations. This is not only a small story about a will, but also a family epic hidden in the great wave of China's rural reform.
Chen Yonggui's life is the pursuit of ideals and responsibility. The revision of the will, although it is a small matter, reflects the brilliance of human nature in the context of the great era. This will not only carries Chen Yonggui's love for his family, but also reflects his far-reaching consideration for the future of the country and the nation. Today, we look back on this history, not only to remember a great man, but also to draw strength from his story and move forward.
