General Wang Zhen led his troops to liberate Xinjiang before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, exterminated the remnants of the local Kuomintang, and made indelible contributions to the defense of border security. But it is such a general with great achievements, and he will inevitably fall to the point where no one cares about him during the special period, but fortunately, Premier Zhou Enlai has always been thinking about Wang Zhen, and in the middle of the special period, Wang Zhen was recalled to work in the central government.
Wang Zhen, who returned to work in the Central Committee, immediately put forward a request to the organization, hoping to find a young and capable secretary for himself to assist him in handling affairs. So, the organization carefully selected Wang Zhen to find a secretary who met Wang Zhen's requirements, and this person made Wang Zhen very satisfied.
However, in the course of a party, after Marshal Nie Rongzhen saw Wang Zhen's secretary, he said to Wang Zhen earnestly: Secretaries don't need such a high degree of education. Who is this secretary, how high is his education, and why was Marshal Nie Rongzhen noticed?
In the sixties and seventies of the last century, China was experiencing one turmoil after another, and in 1971, the flight of a certain big figure in the party brought the tension to a peak. Wang Zhen, who came to work in the Central Committee, sat in the office every morning to review documents and held meetings in the afternoon to study, which made Wang Zhen, who was in the army before, unable to adapt. So, Wang Zhen made a small request to the organization, asking the organization to appoint a young and capable secretary to assist him.
Young secretaries are easy to find, but young and capable people are really rare in the central office at that time. As the saying goes, gold shines wherever it is, and Wu Shaozu is this piece of gold. After being recommended by Wu Shaozu's department, Wu Shaozu became Wang Zhen's secretary.
With the assistance of Wu Shaozu, Wang Zhen gradually adapted to the work of the central government, and he was also able to handle government affairs. On this day, Wang Zhen received an invitation from Marshal Nie Rongzhen and went to his home as a guest, and Wu Shaozu, as Wang Zhen's secretary, naturally followed.
Wang Zhen came to Marshal Nie Rongzhen's house with great interest, and the two of them chatted about many past events during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and everyone was very emotional. Wu Shaozu, who was sitting next to Wang Zhen, saw that Wang Zhen was so happy, he couldn't bear to disturb his way of speaking, so he got up and went to pour water for Wang Zhen to quench his thirst. At this time, Nie Rongzhen noticed this quiet young man, and asked Wang Zhen, where did this young man come from?
When Wang Zhen heard Nie Shuai's question, he became proud for a while, and introduced to Nie Shuai, this is my new secretary, a graduate student of Tsinghua University! After hearing this, Nie Shuai couldn't help frowning, as if he remembered something. At this moment, Wu Shaozu sat back beside Wang Zhen with a teacup. Nie Shuai looked at the young man in front of him with a scholarly face, and asked curiously, "Young man, which major did you graduate from Tsinghua University?" Wu Shaozu hurriedly replied that he majored in nuclear physics.
After hearing this major, Nie Shuai shook his head unconsciously, and said to Wang Zhen, the secretary does not need such a high degree of education. Before Nie Shuai finished speaking, Wang Zhen began to argue that a high degree has the benefits of a high degree, which can help me, a big man, answer a lot of questions, and can also help me share some of it at work. The work given to him to do, I put a hundred hearts.
Nie Shuai saw that Wang Zhen was still immersed in the joy of getting a good secretary, so he added, saying: At this time, the mainland is vigorously developing the nuclear industry, and it still needs a large number of professionals like Wu Shaozu to go forward and succeed. After hearing this, Wang Zhen fell into deep thought.
Three years later, on the recommendation of Wang Zhen, Wu Shaozu followed General Zhang Aiping to a nuclear test base on the mainland and returned to his old job. Wu Shaozu, who soared in the professional field, lived up to the expectations of Nie Shuai, Wang Zhen, Zhang Aiping and others, and made great contributions to the development of the mainland's nuclear industry.
When the nuclear test base was closed, Wu Shaozu was awarded the rank of major general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. But at this time, Wu Shaozu did not continue to stay in the army, but was transferred to the National Sports Commission by a paper order, became the last director of the Sports Commission, and also became the first director of the General Administration of Sports.
In 2000, in the process of bidding for the Olympic Games led by Wu Shaozu, although it was only by two votes, it was not selected as the host city of the Olympic Games, but Wu Shaozu summed up the lessons and passed them on to the younger generations, and finally with the efforts of the junior staff, China finally succeeded in bidding for the Olympic Games.
From serving as Wang Zhen's secretary to becoming a major general who has made great contributions to the mainland's nuclear cause, to being the director of the General Administration of Sports who has made tremendous efforts to bid for the mainland's Olympic bid, Wu Shaozu has told us with his life experience that gold shines wherever it is! When it is regarded as gold by others, it is necessary to forge ahead, and only in this way can we realize our self-worth and make due contributions to the country and society!
