In the autumn of September 1990, the grand and lively Asian Games kicked off in Beijing.
When the athletes sweated like rain on the field to win glory for the country, the waiters in the Asian Games Village also did their duty in obscurity and contributed to the smooth progress of the Asian Games.
Among these waiters, there was a young man named Wang Xiaozhi who quickly attracted everyone's attention. He is conscientious and meticulous, down-to-earth and low-key, and he has received unanimous praise from everyone soon after entering the Asian Games Village.
But what brought him into the public eye was a photo taken by a reporter from xinhua news agency, entitled "Chairman Mao's Grandson in the Asian Games Village": In the No. 10 apartment building of the Asian Games village athletes, there was a low-key but highly authoritative waiter, who was Chairman Mao's grandson.
As soon as this photo came out, it immediately attracted people's attention.
After all, according to China's inherent thinking since ancient times, there will always be doubts, as Chairman Mao's grandson, since Wang Xiaozhi has this level of identity, how can he do ordinary and ordinary service work in the Asian Games village?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > the origin of the name</h1>
Wang Xiaozhi was born in Jiangxi in 1972 to the daughter of Chairman Mao's most beloved daughter, Li Ne.
As the only child who grew up next to Chairman Mao and chairman Mao's old daughter, Li Ne was naturally loved by his father.
In the summer of 1965, Li Ne graduated from the History Department of Peking University, and after graduation, Li Ne successfully entered the "People's Liberation Army Daily" as an editor.
During the special period, she also went deep into various campuses to bring chairman Mao the latest ideas of the moment, etc. She soon became a prominent figure in the military newspaper, and at the age of 27, she became the top level of the newspaper and became the editor-in-chief of the military newspaper.
The promotion of his daughter should have been a festive event, but Chairman Mao was not happy. Because, who has always been low-key, he also does not want his children's behavior to be too high-profile, and he does not want them to specialize in their own identity.
In Chairman Mao's eyes, his own children are no different from the children of ordinary people, and they should not be allowed to enjoy any special care because of themselves.
Therefore, Chairman Mao felt the need to exercise his daughter well, let her go deep among the masses, and live the life of ordinary people.
Only by looking at the various states of sentient beings can we understand the hardships of the world.
Coinciding with 1970, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee planned and decided to open a "May Seventh" cadre school in Jinxian County, Jiangxi Province.
Chairman Mao felt that this was a rare opportunity, and in this way, Li Ne, along with the staff of the General Office of the Central Department, was sent to the "May Seventh" Cadre School in Jiangxi.
At that time, Chairman Mao had another consideration, after all, Li Ne was also nearly 30 years old at that time, and in the social background of the time, Li Ne was undoubtedly a proper leftover woman.
When a man should get married, a woman should get married, and Chairman Mao, as a father, is naturally anxious about his daughter's marriage.
But no matter how anxious he was, Chairman Mao also insisted that if his daughter chose a mate, she must "choose below and find an ordinary person."
During his labor at the Jinggangshan Cadre School, Li Ne followed his father's teachings, dressed simply, did things in a low-key manner, and rarely communicated with the people around him.
At this time, Xu Zhiming, a young man who also worked in the cadre school, was just the opposite, he was cheerful and outgoing, and he was enthusiastic about people, because he often worked together, Xu Zhiming and Li Ne quickly became acquainted.
After that, Xu Zhiming often played ball and climbed mountains with Li Ne in his leisure time, and over time, the two gradually developed feelings.
After Chairman Mao heard about this, he learned that Xu Zhiming was from a family of workers and peasants, that he had previously been a waiter at an internal guest house affiliated to the Beidaihe Management Office of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, and that his father was a wrench at a railway station, and that he was politically reliable.
Chairman Mao was very much in favor of this marriage, and with the support of his father, Li Ne and Xu Zhiming held a simple wedding at the May Seventh Cadre School. After marriage, the couple continued to work and exercise in the May Seventh Cadre School, and a year later, their son was born and named Xu Xiaoning.
It is just that the personalities of the two are far apart, and after marriage, the two have frequent contradictions, and when the son has not yet been born, the two have chosen to live in two places, and the marriage inevitably comes to an end.
After divorcing Xu Zhiming, Li Ne returned to Beijing with his son Xu Xiaoning.
However, shortly after arriving in Beijing, on September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao passed away unexpectedly, and Chairman Mao's life was simple and simple, leaving no material wealth for Li Ne except for some books.
The mother and son duo completely lost their dependence, and their lives suddenly plummeted.
A divorced woman with a child, the degree of difficulty can be imagined. And after returning to Beijing, the death of his father and a series of subsequent changes made Li Ne full of human feelings.
Independent and strong, she vowed to raise her son alone; even when she was plagued by illness, Li Ne did not dare to go to the hospital, first, her young son was left unattended after going to the hospital, and second, she could not afford expensive medical expenses.
Mother's hardships, son Xu Xiaoning looks in the eyes, remembers in his heart, since he was a child he is very sensible, as soon as he has the opportunity to clean the housework, help people run errands to do part-time work, for the mother to share the pressure of life.
This situation did not turn around until Xu Xiaoning was 11 years old, when his grandfather's last guard chief, Li Yinqiao, came to the door.
Watching Li Ne skillfully change the light bulb and repair the wires, Li Yinqiao was heartbroken, this is the little daughter that the chairman has been holding in the palm of his hand, and it is also the girl he has watched grow up, sad, Li Yinqiao feels more and more that li Ne can no longer be alone.
Under the mediation of Li Yinqiao, Li Ne met Wang Jingqing, who served as his father's guard when he was young, and married him in 1984, so that the mother and son could be considered to have reliance in Beijing.
Wang Jingqing is an upright and kind person, and he also regards Xu Xiaoning as his own.
Xu Xiaoning was very grateful for his care for himself and his mother, so he offered to follow his stepfather's surname, Li Ne changed his name to Wang Xiaozhi for his son, Zhi was taken from the name of his grandfather Mao Zedong Mao Runzhi, Li Ne hoped that his son could be like his father, to be a useful person to the country and society, but also implied Li Ne's deep thoughts about his father, which is the origin of Wang Xiaozhi's name.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" >02 Be a normal person</h1>
"Be an ordinary person, don't always put me on your lips to scare people." Chairman Mao often taught his children and children in this way, and Wang Xiaozhi always remembered his grandfather's earnest teachings.
Compared with Chairman Mao's other third-generation descendants, Wang Xiaozhi is indeed ordinary.
He did not have the excellent academic qualifications of his mother, nor did he receive the rank of major general at a young age like his cousin Mao Xinyu, nor did he have the cousin Kong Dongmei, who was a high-achieving student at the University of Pennsylvania.
From primary school to junior high school, to college, to work, Wang Xiaozhi is like the children of ordinary people, simple and ordinary.
After graduating from junior high school, Wang Xiaozhi decided to go to a vocational high school to study, and Li Ne did not object after listening to it, and there are many ways to contribute to society, and it is not necessary to get ahead.
After that, Wang Xiaozhi was admitted to Beijing Foreign Affairs and Tourism Vocational High School. During his high school years, he actively participated in various activities organized by the school, and was often helpful, winning the unanimous respect of teachers and classmates.
In 1990, the grand and lively Asian Games was held in Beijing, and 18-year-old Wang Xiaozhi also took the initiative to volunteer in the Asian Games Village with his classmates from vocational high schools to contribute to the Asian Games.
During this period, he actively took the lead, and the dirty work was always scrambled to do, and the classmates who came with Wang Xiaozhi were full of energy under his leadership and received many awards.
If it were not for the photo taken by the Xinhua reporter, no one would have known that this young man, who had no shelf at all, would have been Chairman Mao's grandson.
After learning that Wang Xiaozhi was a waiter, the party organization once helped him and planned to arrange a stable job for him, but Wang Xiaozhi refused one by one.
Because he always remembered what his grandfather once said, he resolutely did not engage in special privileges in his work.
After graduating from high school, Wang Xiaozhi is also like countless young people who work hard in society, doing ordinary things in ordinary posts, and being even more silent about his identity.
At the beginning, Wang Xiaozhi worked as a waiter in the hotel, he worked diligently, conscientiously, never made a mistake, and finally, with his own efforts, Wang Xiaozhi became the manager of the hotel.
But Wang Xiaozhi was not satisfied with this. In the 1990s, due to the establishment of the socialist market economic system, going to the sea to do business became the most popular industry. Wang Xiaozhi decided to quit her job at the hotel, keeping up with the trend of the times and trying to gain some opportunities in the business sea.
So he resigned as a hotel manager and went to Shenzhen alone. However, things did not go as Wang Xiaozhi imagined
Smooth sailing, going to the sea to do business is not just talking.
In the face of difficulties and setbacks, Wang Xiaozhi did not lose heart.
This time to do wrong, learn a lesson, next time can not be repeated, uphold the humble and pragmatic attitude, Wang Xiaozhi also slowly accumulated a lot of experience, at the same time, he also met many excellent entrepreneurs, which laid a good foundation for him to start a company in the future.
After founding the company, Wang Xiaozhi worked harder and harder. He is conscientious, the company is no big and small, he always has to personally ask about it to be assured.
Although Wang Xiaozhi did not go to college, through his own efforts, he spoke fluent English, and when he met with customers, he also talked about it, often before the translation assistant came out, he reached an agreement with the customer.
To some extent, Wang Xiaozhi's temperament also followed his mother Li Ne, introverted, and not good at talking.
Therefore, in addition to some necessary socializing, Wang Xiaozhi rarely communicates with people, it is reasonable to say that such a character is not suitable for working in the commercial sea, but people who have cooperated with Wang Xiaozhi have all given a thumbs up, saying that he is stable in business, sincere in his treatment, and a promise of gold.
Even as the boss of the company, Wang Xiaozhi has never put up a spectrum as a boss, he is still as diligent as before, treating employees like family.
With such a boss, the company's atmosphere is naturally good, the company's operating conditions are gradually improving, profits are rising year by year, and Wang Xiaozhi has finally realized his ideal of becoming an entrepreneur.

In addition to his career, Wang Xiaozhi's family is also very happy.
But what few people know is that Wang Xiaozhi's wife Wang Wei was also born in a red family, and her maternal grandfather was the founding father Bo Yibo, and like her husband, Wang Wei's behavior was extremely low-key, not arrogant and lascivious because of his identity, taking shortcuts and engaging in privileges.
Because of the unfortunate experience of childhood and the lack of father's love, in addition to work, Wang Xiaozhi rarely goes out, and he focuses most of his energy on the family, hoping to maximize the happiness of his family.
Every day after work, Wang Xiaozhi immediately returned home to help his wife share the housework, cook for the family, read with her two daughters, and share stories.
In his spare time, Wang Xiaozhi will also plant melons, fruits and vegetables in the yard, and water the flowers for a walk. His demeanor did not show that he was at the helm of a company.
When the holidays come, he will take the whole family of more than ten people, young and old, to travel, make travel plans, explain the history and culture of the attractions, and sometimes jokingly say: "I can also be considered a tour guide now." ”
Although he spent little time with his grandfather, Wang's admiration for his grandfather always grew with time.
He insisted on studying philosophy, studying his grandfather's books and works, looking for his grandfather's traces step by step from the lines between the lines, and at the same time, he did not forget to tell his children about his grandfather's red deeds.
Every time on Chairman Mao's birthday, he would take his wife Wang Wei and his two daughters to his hometown in Shaoshan or chairman Mao's memorial hall to pay homage to his grandfather's remains.
"If it weren't for Grandpa always teaching us to be low-key and pragmatic, to rely on our own self-reliance and self-reliance, I wouldn't have what I have today, so I am very grateful to Grandpa." Whenever Chairman Mao was mentioned, Wang Xiaozhi always felt infinite emotion.
In addition to running the company every day, Wang Xiaozhi is also passionate about public welfare undertakings.
After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, looking at the devastated Wenchuan and the displaced victims, Wang Xiaozhi's heart was extremely worried, and then he contacted his cousin Mao Xinyu and cousin Kong Dongmei to go to the China Charity Federation together to donate 100,000 yuan to the victims of the earthquake area.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" >04 conclusion</h1>
"From the masses, to the masses." This is Chairman Mao's consistent demand of himself.
And Wang Xiaozhi also lived up to Chairman Mao's expectations, living a simple and low-key life, even if he was an ordinary person, even in an ordinary post. It can still add light and heat to this society.
He did not have outstanding merits, nor did he become rich and noble, still less did he be proud because he was a descendant of the founding leader, did not take shortcuts, did not engage in privileges, did not be arrogant, and truly put Chairman Mao's teachings to heart and put them into practice.
