In September 1982, the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of General Feng Yuxiang was held in Beijing, and the descendants of General Feng Yuxiang gathered again to remember his deceased father.
At this time, the staff suddenly said that General Secretary Deng Xiaoping wanted to come to offer condolences and at the same time wanted to meet with the children of the Feng family, which made the Feng family happy and immediately prepared for work.
After Secretary Deng Xiaoping arrived, Feng Hongzhi, the son of General Feng Yuxiang, immediately invited Elder Deng to enter the inner hall, and in the subsequent talks, Elder Deng asked Feng Hongzhi if he had encountered any difficulties that he could raise to the central authorities and try his best to solve them.
Feng Hongzhi replied that he wanted to return to China to settle down and did not want to stay in the United States anymore, and thought that Elder Deng would agree to this request, but Secretary Deng Xiaoping refused, which also puzzled the people around him!
So why did Secretary Deng Xiaoping refuse Feng Hongzhi to return to China to settle down? What kind of plan did Elder Deng have? Let's take a look at the story behind this.
General Feng Yuxiang
Feng Hongzhi, born in 1917, his mother was the original match of General Feng Yuxiang, after the death of his mother, he has been living with his stepmother, and when he was young, he was personally taught by his father Feng Yuxiang.
Feng Yuxiang, a famous patriotic general in modern China, resolutely opposed Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship and made outstanding contributions to China's cause of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because he was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's launching of the civil war, he was forced to "ask himself to go abroad for investigation" and go to the United States, and in 1948, General Feng Yuxiang returned to China at the invitation of the Communist Party of China to participate in the Political Consultative Conference.
After the news of General Feng Yuxiang's death reached China, the leaders of the Party Central Committee expressed their deep remembrance and buried the bones of General Feng Yuxiang in Mount Tai, and engraved a sentence from General Feng Yuxiang's life on his tombstone
"This will not change, swear to die against the widow; do my best, I write what I say; grit your teeth, I am me."
When General Feng Yuxiang was killed, Feng Hongzhi was 31 years old, and every time he recalled his father, Feng Hongzhi's face was always full of respect for his father, and he told the outside world about two old things about his father.
Picture
The first thing is about himself, Feng Yuxiang is a general after all, so his daily life will not be lacking, and he will always be able to eat at home, but there is one thing that makes young Feng Hongzhi very confused.
That is, when eating at home, although there will be several dishes every time, the staple food is always nested, and Feng Hongzhi does not like to eat, but he does not dare to say.
Once his father Feng Yuxiang asked him, is the nest head delicious? Feng Hongzhi thought about it for a moment and replied seriously, "It is delicious if the father is there, and it is not delicious if the father is not there." ”
After listening to Feng Hongzhi's words, Feng Yuxiang touched his son's head and said with a sad face, "Son, there are still many people who can't eat this thing." ”
When he grew up, Feng Hongzhi gradually understood the meaning behind his father's words, and he could also understand why his father always wanted his family to eat nests.
The second incident occurred during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, before the beginning of the War of Resistance, Feng Yuxiang sent the 12-year-old Feng Hongzhi to the Soviet Union to study, and then to Germany, until the Sino-German diplomatic relations were severed, and Feng Hongzhi returned to China.
At that time, most of China's territory had fallen, and the Japanese were trampling on China's land wantonly, and General Feng Yuxiang actively responded to the call for resistance, not only donating all the money and wealth of his family, but also visiting everywhere to collect donations.

After Feng Hongzhi returned to China, he has been following his father on the rural roads of Chongqing, following his father to more than 20 counties and cities around Chongqing, and has raised more than 20,000 donations.
Later, General Feng Yuxiang divided this donation into two parts, respectively, to the National Government and the Eighth Route Army, and Feng Hongzhi personally experienced this incident and was very shocked.
Especially seeing that under the leadership of his father, the people shouted the slogan of "resisting Japan and saving the country", which made Feng Hongzhi unforgettable in his life.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek disregarded the will of the people of the whole country and provoked a civil war, and Feng Yuxiang originally thought that after fighting away the Japanese, he would finally have the opportunity to build this country and the people could live in peace.
However, the actions of Chiang Kai-shek's reactionaries completely shattered Feng Yuxiang's dreams, and feng Yuxiang was forced to flee the United States in desperation.
In 1948, when the Liberation War was about to be won, Feng Yuxiang was invited by the Communist Party of China to participate in the Political Consultative Conference, but on the way back to China, the ship caught fire, and General Feng Yuxiang unfortunately died and was buried in Mount Tai.
After hearing of his father's death, Feng Hongzhi always wanted to return to the mainland to pay tribute, but the US government pursued an anti-China anti-Chinese policy, strictly blocked the channels of new China's external communication, and strictly prohibited Chinese students studying in the United States from returning to China.
Unable to return to his hometown, Feng Hongzhi was very angry in his heart, but forced by reality, he had to stay in the United States. Originally, with Feng Hongzhi, a "double doctor" degree, he could find a high-paying and easy job in the United States.
However, in order to restrict the Chinese, American enterprises also want to absorb international students, and forcibly stipulate that all personnel working in American enterprises must have American citizenship!
Therefore, many international students have joined the United States in order to survive, but Feng Hongzhi's personality is very similar to his father, the surface is modest, but the bones are very hard!
Feng Hongzhi said that he did not agree to join the American nationality, and then there was really no way, Feng Hongzhi went to the factory workshop to become a worker! He wanted to start from the lowest level, he decided that Feng Yuxiang's son, how could he join the nationality of other countries?
Feng Hongzhi started from an ordinary worker, then promoted to a surveyor, and soon with his own excellent technology, he was promoted to vice president, And Feng Hongzhi proved with his own experience that even without American citizenship, Chinese can survive well in the United States.
Feng Hongzhi
During Nixon's visit to China in 1972, Sino-US diplomacy finally began to normalize, and Feng Hongzhi could finally return to the mainland after more than 20 years to pay tribute to his father.
Soon, Feng Hongzhi finally received a notice from the Chinese Liaison Office in the United States, asking him to go to the liaison office quickly, and when Feng Hongzhi saw the person in charge of the liaison office, Huang Zhen shook Feng Hongzhi's hand and said, "This time I can count on finding you!" ”
Yes, for more than twenty years, the new Chinese government has been looking for Feng Hongzhi through various channels, and after talking with Feng Hongzhi and learning about more than twenty years of living in the United States, Huang Zhen couldn't help but sigh, "You are really like your father, you have a hard bone!" ”
Then he asked Feng Hongzhi what he needed, to which Feng Hongzhi only replied, "I have nothing else to ask for, the only hope is to get a passport of the People's Republic of China in the future." ”
After the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Feng Hongzhi often returned to the mainland, and in 1982, the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of General Feng Yuxiang was held in Beijing, and Feng Hongzhi returned to China.
At this time, Secretary Deng Xiaoping also came to the scene of the commemoration activities, and after remembering General Feng Yuxiang, he met with Feng Hongzhi, and during the conversation, Elder Deng asked Feng Hongzhi what requirements he could make.
In this regard, the 65-year-old Feng Hongzhi said that he was old and hoped to return to the mainland for the elderly, thinking that feng Hongzhi's request would be agreed, after all, the fallen leaves are the complex that every Chinese is difficult to give up.
However, after careful consideration, Elder Deng said, "I think you don't want to come back in a hurry", which also surprised the surroundings, but Elder Feng Hongzhi understood Secretary Deng Xiaoping's thoughts after listening to it.
First, China and the United States formally established diplomatic relations, New China is in urgent need of foreign funds, technology, to promote the economic development of the country, Feng Hongzhi stayed in the United States, can introduce advanced Technology from the United States to the greatest extent.
Later, regarding the development of China's economy, Feng Hongzhi did give the most correct advice, he believed that China's economy can not be like Japan, or Taiwan, more than half of the local economy is controlled by foreign capital, which is extremely detrimental to the healthy development of the national economy!
The second is taiwan reunification, where many of his father Feng Yuxiang's former subordinates were deeply influenced by Feng Yuxiang, so it is the most suitable for Feng Hongzhi to carry out the work of calling for their ideas.
After understanding these two points, Feng Hongzhi is no longer obsessed with returning to China, but has been working hard for China's reunification and development.
