September 9, 1976 was a sad day. The sky in Beijing seems to be covered with a layer of gray, on this day the great leader Chairman Mao Zedong left us forever, and the whole country is plunged into great grief. And in the crowd, there is a teenager, his sadness may be deeper than others, because he is not only the chairman's national, but also the chairman's deeply loved grandson - Kong Jining.
Speaking of Kong Jining, many people may not be familiar with this name, because he has always kept a low profile in school. He is not ostentatious because of his special status, and he never shows off to his classmates. He is like every ordinary child, listening attentively, studying hard, and playing with everyone. He is kind to people and has a gentle personality, which is deeply loved by his classmates.
But on that special day, his identity was inadvertently known to everyone. That day, he found the teacher, and with a little sadness and determination, asked the teacher for two weeks off. The teacher was puzzled and asked him why he took leave. He was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I'm going to my grandfather's memorial service." The teacher was stunned, "Who is your grandfather?" Kong Jining took a deep breath, "My grandfather is Chairman Mao." ”
The news quickly spread on campus, and all the students were shocked. They never thought that the classmate who got along with them day and night around them would have such a special identity. But Kong Jining has not become different because of this, he still maintains his low profile and humility.
The affection between Kong Jining and Chairman Mao is deep and unique. When he was a child, he often accompanied the chairman, listened to his grandfather's stories about those revolutionary years, and learned his grandfather's thoughts. Every word and every teaching of the chairman was deeply imprinted in his heart. The chairman always told him to keep a low profile and not use his status to seek privileges, which he always remembered.
After graduating from military school, Kong Jining chose a military career. He did not receive any special treatment because of his special status, but worked harder, hoping to use his strength to earn respect. It wasn't until the political trial that everyone knew his true identity, but he had already won everyone's recognition and respect with his actions.
Not only that, Kong Jining is also actively engaged in public welfare. He is well aware of his responsibilities and missions, and has created the "Oriental Kunlun Public Welfare Fund", hoping to help more people. He hopes that through his own efforts, he can improve the medical conditions in the township and allow more people to receive timely and effective treatment. At the same time, he was also committed to inheriting and promoting Chairman Mao's thoughts, and published relevant books for this purpose.
Kong Jining's story has brought us a lot of inspiration. Although he is Chairman Mao's grandson, he did not rely on this identity, let alone relax his requirements for himself. He proved his worth with his hard work and strength. His low-key, humility and dedication are all worth learning from.
In this era, we need people like Kong Jining even more. They do not rely on privileges, are self-reliant, and contribute to society with their actions. They use their strength to win respect and warm others with their love. They are our role models and the driving force for us to move forward
