"Daddy! Although you and I are separated by two worlds, and there will never be a day when we will see each other again, I will never be separated from you day and night, and I will never be separated from you for a moment..."
This is a paragraph written by Tao Siliang to his father Tao Zhu, and it is also a paragraph that has touched countless people. Behind this touching sentence is a touching story between a father and daughter.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > revolutionary example, clean and clean</h1>
Tao Siliang's father, Tao Zhu, was an outstanding proletarian revolutionary and an outstanding leader of the party and the army. All his life he contributed to national independence, the liberation of the people and the prosperity of the country.
Tao Zhu was born in 1908, his hometown is in ShiyuanDong, Qiyang, Hunan Province. In 1926, Tao Zhu was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, and it was in this year that Tao Zhu, who was only sixteen years old, began to participate in the military movement in China.
Although Tao Zhu was young at that time, he was very serious in his work, no worse than those adults.
In 1929, Tao Zhu became the secretary general of the Communist Party of China in Fujian Province, and later promoted to the secretary of Fujian Province.
In 1930, at the age of 22, Tao Zhu led the eleven warriors of the People's Liberation Army to raid Xiamen Prison during the day, creating the famous Xiamen Prison Breaker Struggle.
In this prison break struggle, Tao Zhu showed excellent leadership skills and temporary adaptability.
In the later revolutionary struggles, Tao Zhu repeatedly showed his excellent experience in prison struggle.
In 1933, because of the betrayal of traitors, Tao Zhu was arrested by the Nationalist government in Shanghai and imprisoned for four years.
During his imprisonment by the Nationalist government, Tao Zhu not only swore to die unyieldingly, showing the noble integrity of the Communists, but also united and encouraged the imprisoned comrades-in-arms to resist the torture of the enemy.
In 1940, Tao Zhu moved to Yan'an, where he began a new phase of his work.
He successively served as secretary general of the Central Military Commission, and secretary general of the General Political Department concurrently held important posts as a member of the Propaganda Committee.
Tao Zhu is not only serious in his work, but also a very simple person in life, and has never paid attention to material enjoyment.
After the founding of New China, Tao Zhu was transferred to work in Guangdong.
Tao Zhu's house in The Guangdong area is not good, the room is dark and damp, and the sun is rare. In places like Guangdong, when the rainy season is encountered, the houses return to the tide, which brings great inconvenience to life.
The comrades of the organ saw the difficulties encountered in Tao Zhu's life and proposed to change the house for him.
Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Tao Zhu, and the reason for the refusal was that "production could not go, living in such a good house, eating such a good meal, and the heart was too unwilling to go, and the masses did not agree." ”
It was not until 1965 that Tao Zhu's wife Zeng Zhi was ill and was asked by doctors to bask in more sun, and Tao Zhu agreed to repair the house where he had lived for more than ten years to ensure that his wife could bask in the sun.
Tao Zhu is a man of integrity and has spent his whole life fighting for the cause of the party and the people.
As a senior cadre of the party and the state, Tao Zhuzhengzhen fulfilled the requirements set forth in the eight words of diligence, thriftiness, honesty and honesty.
Tao Zhu's character also invisibly affected his children.
He said to his daughter Tao Siliang: "I will not save money for you, and you will have to rely on your own skills in the future." I have been a revolutionary all my life, and I have no requirements, but I hope that after I die, people will erect a sign in front of my tomb, and I will not write down any official titles and life deeds and only write the eight words 'the tomb of the Communist Party member Tao Zhu', and I will be satisfied. ”
Tao Siliang's words deeply affected Tao Siliang, and she realized from an early age that she should not pursue material pleasures, but learn to do practical things. The influence of his father Tao Zhu on Tao Siliang is long and far-reaching.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > soldiers are in chaos and grow up healthily</h1>
In 1940, Tao Zhu came to Yan'an and began a new stage of work in Yan'an, as well as a new stage of life.
A year after coming to Yan'an, Tao Zhu's daughter was born, and Tao Zhu named her Tao Siliang, which means "such a high wind and bright festival." ”
Tao Siliang spent her childhood in Yan'an, and when she was four years old, she was left by her parents in the Yan'an Nursery. Taking care of Tao Siliang is Yang Shunqing, who participated in the Long March and is a comrade with full experience and firm will.
Tao Zhu was assigned to the northeast occupied area to organize guerrilla groups behind enemy lines. His wife Zeng Zhi took the initiative to follow her husband, leave Yan'an, and take the initiative to go north.
Tao Zhu and Zeng Zhi left, leaving only their four-year-old daughter. On the day of the separation, Tao Zhu and Zeng Zhi were very reluctant. Zeng Zhi turned back step by step, and in the midst of infinite suffering and reluctance, he left his daughter for the revolutionary cause.
Although Tao Siliang was separated from her parents at a young age, it was fortunate that she still had Yang Shunqing, who took care of her.
Figure Yang Shunqing and Tao Siliang
Yang Shunqing is very good to Tao Siliang, and he takes care of Tao Siliang like his own daughter. No matter what good things there are, Yang Shunqing is always reluctant to use them himself, and he will leave them to Xiao Siliang.
Not only that, in order to improve Tao Siliang's life, he also used his spare time to spin threads to make money.
Recalling this Uncle Yang, Tao Siliang's eyes were always full of gratitude and light, "Uncle Yang raised a chicken, laid eggs, and left it for me to eat if he didn't eat it." ”
In that era of war and chaos, an old Red Army in her forties led a four-year-old girl, and although they were not related by blood, their feelings had long surpassed those of blood relatives.
Figure Yang Shunqing
Tao Siliang was bombarded by Kuomintang planes on her way out of Yan'an, and it was Yang Shunqing who protected her along the way.
"All I remember is sitting in a wicker frame on the back of a donkey, crying with horror. Uncle Yang took me, in order to avoid the dangerous national unification area, from Yan'an to Jiaodong Peninsula, and then from Jiaodong Peninsula to the Korean Peninsula, and finally through the Tumen River to the northeast, we walked for a whole year before we saw my parents. ”
Although his childhood was chaotic and full of dangers, it was fortunate that Tao Siliang also grew up healthy.
Tu Tao Siliang erected a monument to Yang Shunqing
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > father's love, delicate and profound</h1>
It is said that the father's love is like a mountain, and this sentence also applies to Tao Zhu. It's just that his love for Tao Siliang has a lot of delicacy and meticulous care.
In March 1949, Tao Siliang followed his parents from Shenyang to Beijing and then to Wuhan.
At that time, Tao Zhu was appointed director of the Political Department of Shino, and Zeng Zhi was appointed deputy director of the Heavy Industry Department of the Central and Southern Bureau. Although the family is living together again, the parents' work is still very busy, and the family of three can not spend much time together.
Such a life has also exercised Tao Siliang's ability to be independent, and Tao Siliang has learned how to arrange himself at a young age.
Although Tao Zhu and Zeng Zhi are busy at work, they still do not forget their concern for their daughter Tao Siliang.
A large part of Tao Siliang's entire middle school years were spent with his father Tao Zhu. It was also during this time that Tao Siliang felt his father's delicate and profound love.
The weather in Guangdong is hot and humid, especially in the summer, the high temperature mixed with the water vapor in the air makes people feel like they are in a big steamer.
Tao Zhu was worried that Tao Siliang would get cold when he slept because of the heat without clothes, and always had to see if Tao Siliang was wearing pajamas at night.
In the summer, Guangdong is not only hot and humid, but also has many mosquitoes. Tao Zhu will carefully put away his daughter's mosquito net every day to prevent mosquitoes from disturbing her daughter's rest.
His father's care for these small details of his life was all looked at by Tao Siliang.
Tao Siliang said: "During this period, although my father was very busy, his concern for me was very meticulous... Even my father's hope that I can dress beautifully every day, if my hair is too flat, I can't forget to purr a little bit, saying that it is more beautiful. My father didn't even allow me to walk barefoot, fearing that the fingers of my feet would not look good. ”
In addition to the concern in life, Tao Zhu also attaches great importance to Tao Siliang's psychological growth.
He would regularly summarize the strengths and weaknesses of his daughter, and let Tao Siliang insist on writing a diary, recording his life and writing down his feelings.
In Taos's eyes, his father was a delicate and sensual man, not like a state cadre but more like a poet. "My father had a poet's temperament, was a very emotional man, and was not suitable for being a politician."
In 1962, Tao Siliang was admitted to shanghai military medical university, which meant that she had to leave Guangzhou and be separated from her parents again.
This time the difference is different from the difference between when she was a child, and this time it is the beginning of her move towards independence.
For his daughter's schooling, Tao Zhu's feelings are somewhat complicated. He was both happy that his daughter was admitted to shanghai military medical university and sad about the upcoming separation.
On the eve of Tao Siliang's school year, Tao Zhu called his daughter to his side and told her the story of Li Mi's "Chen Qing Table".
After telling the story, Tao Zhu looked at his daughter affectionately and said slowly: "Liangliang, we are also fathers and daughters who depend on each other, you know how much your father loves you, but your father has no personal requirements for you, only hopes that you can become a useful person for the people, a person with noble sentiments, I believe you will not live up to your father's expectations of you." ”
This remark of her father to herself has always been remembered by Tao Siliang, and it has always affected her life and work later.
When he was in school, Tao Siliang studied seriously and mastered professional knowledge. At work, Taos liang worked diligently and cared for patients.
In 1991, Tao Siliang voluntarily gave up his status as a civil servant and the treatment of deputy bureau level, and came to the newly established China Mayors Association as deputy secretary-general.
The conditions and treatment here are far less than her previous work, but Tao Siliang still does it without complaint or regret.
Because she has always remembered what her father said to her, to be a useful person to the people, a person with noble sentiments.
For so many years, she had been looking for what her father said would be useful to the people, and for this job, she gave up the treatment of a deputy bureau-level cadre of the United Front Work Bureau of the Central Committee to become a social person without any guarantees.
Do not seek superior treatment, do not seek a prominent position, only seek sufficient room for development. Luckily, she eventually found it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="13" > correspondence, full of affection</h1>
"Dad, Xiao Liang is with how deeply I love you, growing up, being born and melting into him all my love and thoughts for you, how can he not be like you?"
In December 1978, Tao Siliang published an article in the People's Daily titled "A Letter That Finally Came Out," an open letter she was going to write to her late father, Tao Zhu. The content of the letter is real and touching, and the words are full of a daughter's thoughts about her father.
The content of Tao Siliang's letter to Tao Zhu reminds people of Li Mi's "Chen Qing Table", which is a touching and profound family affection.
Tao Siliang wrote an open letter to recall his father is not accidental, but there is a reason, text communication is a common way of communication between Tao Siliang and his father.
When Tao Siliang was young, Tao Zhu would ask her to write a diary every day and would personally approve it.
Tao Zhu understands his daughter's growth and state of mind through Tao Siliang's words, and Tao Siliang understands his father's expectations and church through his father's annotations. When he grew up, Tao Siliang and his father began to exchange letters.
In the correspondence, the father and daughter talked about their lives and communicated spiritually.
Tao Zhu has always been a very strict person, and while reading the letters written by his daughter to himself, he has not forgotten to "pick thorns" for his daughter.
"Liangliang, you must remember these words of your father, when writing letters and writing short essays, the strokes should be clear, the handwriting should not be blurred, and the paragraphs should be clearly divided." Can not give people a feeling of looking at it can not understand, punctuation marks should also be rigorous, can not use punctuation at will, when writing letters and articles, to read it carefully, find typos, to correct it in time, to be a rigorous person. ”
When he saw these problems pointed out to himself in his father's heart, Tao Siliang was both touched and helpless.
What moved me was that the question of my father's index to himself was detailed and specific, which showed that my father had read his letter many times.
Helplessly, it is inevitable that there will be some loss in the heart of the criticism of the father.
Tao Siliang wrote in "A Letter That Finally Came Out": "Honey, Dad has been eleven years, and I don't know how many letters I have written to you in silence. I can't let people know if there is anything to vote for, but I keep writing, keep writing. I had to seal it on paper, but what I wrote on my heart was engraved deeper and deeper. ”
Even after his father's death, Tao Siliang still couldn't help but write to his father. She had written as a spiritual sustenance, pinning her endless thoughts on her father.
Now look at "A Letter Finally Sent", you can feel the most sincere emotion in Tao Siliang's heart at once. The whole letter is long, with a total of five parts.
This is not just a letter, an article published in the People's Daily, but also an account, a daughter's account to her father.
As Tao Siliang wrote at the end of his letter:
"Now, I have finally sent you this letter, which has been repeated on paper and on the heart for eleven years. It was just what I saw, heard, and thought in a short time as a daughter. How can it hold the feelings that I have accumulated for many years, and how can it show your combat career for more than forty years? It is just a small white flower, a small white flower that your daughter mourns and springs for you. Regarding the merits and deeds of your life, the Party, the people and the comrades who have fought with you will give a correct evaluation. ”
Although Tao Zhu has left us a long time ago, his contribution to the people and the country will not be forgotten by us. Tao Zhu is not only the hero in Tao Siliang's heart, but also the hero in our hearts.
