The childhood of the founder of Daxing Bicycle

Chapter Two: Childhood

The world is flowing with the flowing water, and it is a dream that comes to life.

Drunken township roads should be stable and frequent, and they are not easy to walk.

Li Yu , "Dark Night Crying Last Night Wind and Rain"

Life is like a dream, and the world changes with time. When the Nationalist government lost Taiwan, many officials moved to Taipei. Mr. Han Ruzhi first went to Hong Kong with his family, where he was waiting for arrangements, and he was full of thought that he could move to Taiwan with his family and start a new life like other colleagues, but later the Kuomintang did not send any representatives to contact him or arrange for a trip to Taiwan. Perhaps this has a lot to do with Mr. Han Ruzhi's usual meticulousness, lack of sleekness and flexibility in his usual handling of people. As the old saying goes: when the water is clear, there is no fish, and when people are aware, there is no vain.

When Mr. Han Ruzhi was the director of the Taxation Bureau, he was honest and loyal, never opened his eyes or closed his eyes, let go of those enterprises and institutions that evaded taxes and evaded taxes, and made false accounts, let alone embezzled and accepted bribes. At that time, people in the Communist Party came to him from time to time: "No matter which party is in power, you can use your profession to continue to serve the Chinese people." "He also had a little bit of a heart. Mr. Han's confidential secretary, whom the children call aunt Zhou, was also suspected of being an underground party. Mr. Han Ruzhi has repeatedly relieved aunt Zhou of the siege, thinking that he knows her very well, and gave a very high comment: "Work seriously and responsibly, loyal to the party-state, it is really impossible to be a communist party." It was not until after the liberation of Guangzhou that Aunt Zhou became the president of the Guangzhou Women's Federation, and Mr. Han Ruzhi woke up like a dream. In hindsight, there are still some clues to be found, but he is too easy to believe people, and subconsciously always does not want anything unfortunate to happen to Aunt Zhou. In fact, he recalled in hindsight that even Aunt Zhou's husband was very suspicious, he had no job all day but seemed to have an income all the time, and he should be the same as Aunt Zhou, the same as a Communist Agent.

When it comes to political sensitivity and interpersonal relations, Mr. Han Ruzhi may not be a leader among his peers. In terms of work performance and attitude, he has always been conscientious and responsible, selfless in an iron face, and never harming public wealth and private interests. Everyone who came to give gifts was scolded back by him, and sometimes added, "If you come again, you will be reported." At any time, the Commissioner of Inland Revenue is a fat man with real power, and there is no objection to this. Some people thought that it might not be convenient for Director Han to give gifts in person, so they twisted and turned around, and when giving gifts, they directly looked for Mrs. Lei Bifang, the wife of the official Han. After Mr. Han Ruzhi knew about it, he also made a rule for his wife: no gifts were allowed; anyone who was sent to his home and could not shirk it at that time must also arrange for the driver to send it back that night. Ms. Lei often teaches her children in this way, and also praises her husband in front of her friends for her good character and is proud of him.

From the names that Mr. Han Ruzhi gave to his sons, it can also be seen that he values high moral integrity. "Deqi, Dewei, Dezhang, Dehuang, Depu, Deheng"... It is all about hoping that children will have good moral character and behave properly. Han Dewei remembered that when he was a child, his father once told him that Wei was a precious jade embedded in the handle of the imperial sword, and his beautiful character was as rare and precious as beautiful jade, hoping that he could take the place of Skywalker. The Book of later Han records that "The King of LiangHui took advantage of the pearl, and the King of Qi Wei replied with four subjects" (四臣). The mother also said that Dewei represents the sword to defend morality. When Dr. Han did something wrong when he was a child, or agreed with others to do something wrong, his mother would ask him: "Oh, are you defending morality?" Are you Dewei? The mother's way of educating is mainly guided, and she rarely hits the child. There is one thing that makes Han Dewei very impressed so far, someone sent a set of very expensive jewelry to the family, the mother especially liked that style, and when the father returned, she would discuss with him whether he could stay or pay the other party some money to buy it. As a result, the father lost his temper and asked the driver to carry the mother to send the jewelry back overnight. It is not difficult for us to imagine from all of the above, because Mr. Han Ruzhi's clean and honest family did not have much savings, and it was impossible to mix well in the Kuomintang officialdom at that time. Therefore, after the family moved to Hong Kong, it is not difficult to understand that life is extremely embarrassing. Mr. Han Ruzhi went from being the director of the tax bureau to the owner of a small department store, and the store became smaller and smaller, and the business deteriorated.

Because life in Hong Kong is too difficult, Mr. Han Ruzhi once discussed with his wife, after all, he is still a talent, it is better to go back to the mainland to find a job, the two with a few children, will not starve to death. At first, Ms. Lei was strongly opposed and chose to stay in Hong Kong, but then she was a little moved, and discussed with her husband in the middle of the night how to raise the five children separately. Han Dewei secretly heard it once or twice, and the brothers were frightened when they found out. Later, han's grandmother was a small landlord, and his son was also a Kuomintang official, who could not withstand excessive criticism and humiliation, and hanged himself with a married granddaughter. When the bad news came, the whole family cried bitterly, and their parents never mentioned returning to the mainland to find a job. The family later decided not to do small business and began to experiment with manufacturing.

Speaking of parents, they are all full of poetry and books, but among the five Han Dewei brothers, except for the eldest brother who died early at the age of 14, the other academic performance is very poor. Although Mr. Han Dewei obtained a doctorate from a prestigious university and became a well-known laser physicist after he became an adult, in his childhood, he was a mischievous troublemaker who caused headaches for his parents. Before liberation, his kindergarten and the first and second grades of primary school were attended peizheng primary school in Guangzhou. At that time, Xiao Han's grades were often at the bottom. Han Dewei recalled that at that time, he only felt that the teachers in the school, as if only the music, art and physical education teachers were cute, and the other teachers often kept their faces every day, as if others owed them something. He didn't like the teachers, and he never felt liked them. Xiao Han's classmates could not concentrate at all when they were in class, always looking out the window, looking at the clock plate, calculating how long it would take to get out of class; after class, they would rush out to swing, play slides, climb trees on the wall, jump and jump... Now in medicine, he may be considered an "over-mover", when everyone said that he was "very naughty" and was not strange to hear. When he was in kindergarten, he was busy playing on the toilet during his rest time, peeing in public more than twice in class, and it was no wonder that the teachers did not like him at that time.

In his childhood, Xiao Han's mathematical learning was particularly poor, and it was simply unbelievably bad. It is already the second grade, if the addition and subtraction is more than ten, he will have to use both hands and feet, and he will not be able to count without sandals in winter without toe fingers. The school had no choice but to arrange for him to stay in class and re-study. At that time, the relatives and friends around me all thought that this little person was stupid and naughty, really looking up and down, looking left and right, and could not see that this was actually a child with a high IQ.

However, it is not completely free of courses that Xiao Han is interested in, music, art, and sports he still likes, and his grades in these courses are not bad. He often paints, sculpts, makes his own toys, plays harmonica, etc. in his spare time, and some of them are even self-taught, all on their own. In the third grade, Han Dewei moved back to Hong Kong, and his mother, who can speak well, helped him transfer to the famous Kowloon Tong Primary School, hoping that a different environment could stimulate Xiao Han's enthusiasm for learning. However, to the surprise of Xiao Han's mother, instead of finding a passion for learning, Xiao Han's classmates found an object to bully - his tablemate Ye Wenxin (a rich second generation of a famous Hong Kong construction company). Ye classmate Sven is cute, but Xiao Han often bullies her in class, becoming a little bully with a similar look.

Xiao Han drew a Chu River Han boundary in the middle of the desk, and every time Ye Classmate at the same table did not care to cross the boundary, he either pushed people back hard, or swung a punch at the past, and made a grimace after the beating... The little girl cried to the school authorities many times, and Xiao Han became a regular visitor to the principal's office. The principal, Ms. Ye Biqiu, was bitter and hard-hearted, and Xiao Han's classmates repeatedly taught and did not change. After school, Xiao Han often returned home on time, often wandering around, and fights did not happen less often. "A false punch, swing the past", single or group beatings, often hanging on the face before going home. Han's mother even beat Xiao Han once or twice for this, but she had little effect and repeatedly taught and repeatedly committed crimes. Without any accidents, after barely studying for a semester, Xiao Han was ordered to withdraw from school. Coincidentally, six years later, Han's mother went to a large family to work as a driver and nanny to take care of the living of five girls, and the eldest daughter of the family who was sixteen years old was actually Miss Ye Wenxin, who was the same table as Xiao Han's classmate. When we met again, Miss Ye was generous and did not seem to care about the previous suspicions, but everyone was very shy and did not talk much. Xiao Han often painted star portraits for these Miss Qianjin, and each enjoyed himself. Of course, these are the stories of the future.

Xiao Han was expelled in the second semester of the third grade, and after thinking about it, her mother also decided to send her eldest three children back to Guangzhou in the Liberated Area to study in order to save family money and foster them in her eldest sister's house. After all, I think at the beginning, Xiao Han's father also had a successful career in Guangzhou and became a very respected person with relatives and friends.

The children's esteemed aunt was a devout Christian and a preacher of the Christian Baptist Church. The principal of Guangzhou Qunqing Primary School is the wife of a scientist known as "Dr. Tofu", a returned overseas American, who is very kind and often mingles with teachers and students. In the fourth grade of Guangzhou Qunqing Primary School, Xiao Han finally met a learning environment that he liked more and the class teacher, Teacher Huang. Teacher Huang's Cantonese and Mandarin have a Fujian accent, and Xiao Han feels very good and kind. Teacher Huang is very loving, and Xiao Han feels the teacher's sincere love for each child. He began to take some interest in learning culture classes, also began to learn Mandarin, and showed a talent for swimming, but he was still a not very well-behaved student.

At that time, it was very popular for children to play "simple rubber band slingshot" (hanging the rubber band between the thumb and index finger, rolling up three centimeters wide paper and bending it into a "v" shape and pulling it on the rubber band to shoot out as a "bullet"). Children's nature is to be naughty, and after Sunday school, they leave behind what teachers and pastors teach about "loving others as themselves and loving each other" taught. The children divided into two factions, played half-truths and half-fake rubber band slingshots, chased after the crowd, quarreled and laughed, and occasionally injured innocent passers-by by mistake, giving adults a sentence or two of criticism. In order to avoid hurting people, people usually use paper to circle them to make marbles, rather than marbles made of iron or glass. Unexpectedly, some boys who were too naughty actually began to wrap two millimeters of wire in paper to make marbles, and the lethality increased greatly. Xiao Han knew but did not do it himself. However, in a group fight, a male classmate of Xiao Hanfang actually used this composite paper bullet to blind the eyes of a child in the other camp. Because it was a group fight, it was impossible to determine who was the black hand, so the parents of Xiao Hanfang's more than two dozen classmates each raised some medical expenses to compensate the injured children. This incident shocked Xiao Han very much, originally it was a child naughty, playing like a child, I did not expect to cause such a big injury to the other child's blindness. Later, the blind child in one eye installed a false eye at the age of only ten years old. At that time, Guangzhou medicine was not very developed, and the false eye looked really fake and ugly, and he became very inferior. Xiao Han felt very guilty and sad, and since then, he has never played a slingshot fight again, and he has begun to double his empathy for the unfortunate.

When he was still in Hong Kong, Xiao Han began to learn to swim with his cousin Wu Rongxi. This cousin is a sports athlete who graduated from Guangzhou Sports School, and his movements and teaching philosophy are more professional (later this cousin surnamed Wu became the runner-up in the Hong Kong Mr. Election Competition). Because from the beginning of learning is the most correct, the most labor-saving posture, coupled with Xiao Han himself has some talent in sports, swimming does not seem to feel tired at all, he can swim back and forth in Guangzhou's Haiyin Bridge (located in the center of Guangzhou, across the Pearl River, a total length of 1114 meters, the width of the river is about 200 meters) when he is less than eight years old. In retrospect, swimming in the wild was still quite dangerous. Xiao Hanyu remembered that once he encountered a rapids while swimming in the wilderness, and was swept out of the water for more than two miles before barely landing. When Xiao Han reluctantly walked back to his aunt's house in the dark, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, he was frightened and tired and paralyzed, and his legs were soft as soon as he arrived at home... The aunt waiting at home is also very heart-wrenching, and it is inevitable that he will be trained (the aunt is very busy, usually does not have much time to care about their brothers, and she feels very warm to scold, "It turns out that she also cares so much about me"). Until now, when he thinks back, he still has palpitations. The characteristics of Xiao Han's boldness and carelessness had begun to appear at that time. After Han's mother knew, she ordered them not to swim again, and the eldest brother obeyed, but XiaoHan did not listen to the advice of the eldest brother and went to swim with the children near the Haiyin Bridge on the weekend. Again, when I saw some children walking barefoot, he thought it was cool, like a schoolboy, and didn't wear shoes. As a result, under the scorching sun, he could only endure the pain of walking for a while and finally barely reached his destination, the soles of his feet were worn out, and he would never dare to go barefoot again.

At that time, the school also held a labor class, and each child was given a piece of farmland of about one meter, where they could grow vegetables. When it was time for class, Xiao Han found that he had not prepared vegetable seeds in advance according to the teacher's requirements. So he ran back to his aunt's house near the school and cut a sweet potato vine.

These sweet potato vines really gave Xiao Han a long face, and the longer they grew, the more prosperous they became, and the branches stretched out into the fields of other students. The teacher found Xiao Han and asked him to trim it in time so as not to affect other children. Seeing that the sweet potato vine he planted was growing happily, Xiao Han was overjoyed in his heart, and he did not listen to the teacher's words at all. A few months later, Xiao Han's sweet potato vines were harvested, not only covering the ground of the whole class, but also extending his hands, feet and feet into the fields of the students in the next class. The teacher asked Xiao Han to clean up, and he said, "I can't do it alone, I have to mobilize the whole class." After all, they all look like this. After a few more weeks, the potato vine grew more and more domineering, the teacher could not mobilize other students, and finally it was gone, allowing the entire teaching farmland to become a sweet potato field, less than a year ago. To say that the teachers at that time were really very democratic and enlightened, did not force the students to allocate excess potato vines. On the one hand, other students are very happy that the labor class can play others, on the other hand, they often harvest some sweet potatoes to go home and adults and children are happy, at that time, most people's days were very hard, not without small supplements, parents were also happy to see it, and Xiao Han also brought friends to dig snacks from time to time. (Sweet potatoes were introduced to Eurasia from South America three or four hundred years ago, and the population expanded at a high rate, and Xiao Han saw its benefits.)

Xiao Han's mother often visits Guangzhou to see her children and care about her life and study. In the memory of Xiao Han's classmates, her mother, who often carries the fragrance, is always gentle and strong, knowledgeable and assertive, has a good family, and helps her father's business. Even in very difficult days, she tried her best to meet the children's various requirements in their intellectual curiosity, including music, sports, painting, making toys, etc., and gave them as full financial support and spiritual encouragement as possible. Once, when a mother took her children to swim in Lychee Bay in Guangzhou, she met Aunt Zhou at the swimming venue. This confidential secretary before Mr. Han Ruzhi's liberation was already the chairman of the Guangzhou Women's Federation at the time, and he was surprised to see Xiao Han's mother, "What are you here to do?" After a long time of secret conversation, Aunt Zhou told her to take the children back to Hong Kong as soon as possible, and there would be something not very good happening if she stayed in Guangzhou. Aunt Zhou did not point out anything (soon after the three rebellions and five reactions began, the Kuomintang officials and relatives liquidated together with the landlord bullies), but when all was said and done, Ms. Lei Bifang naturally knew that something was going to happen, and arranged to return to Hong Kong with her three children as soon as possible. At this time, Xiao Han had just finished the fourth grade in Guangzhou, and he met several good teachers, and he also increased his interest in learning the knowledge in books.

Mr. Han Ruzhi's educational philosophy is: to go to school is not to seek points, but to study. (Cantonese "points" and "marriage" have the same voice, very witty) He once repeatedly said to the children: "As long as you learn knowledge and skills, the score is not important." This idea is very fashionable even today, when it was naturally very popular with children, but it suffered mothers and teachers. Because usually the five children study what school, what books, more is Ms. Lei in Zhang Luo. Returned to Xiao Han in Hong Kong and enrolled in Chi Hang Primary School in Wan Chai (no longer there). At that time, shortly after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the usually strict history teacher talked about modern history, often weeping bitterly, the students were deeply infected, but also full of patriotic enthusiasm, even Xiao Han, such a "poor student", also like history, but the test scores are still very poor. He always used Ah Q's spiritual victory method: I am not here to propose "marriage"! That's what my dad said!

Although the test scores are still poor, Xiao Han's hands-on ability has been recognized by his classmates. In addition to painting, carving and self-created toys, at that time he had begun to ask his mother for money to buy raw materials such as wires, tin sheets, etc., according to the simple instructions of natural textbooks, successfully made small electric toys such as electric bells and motors, and the friends praised them, often sharing for several days. In contrast, the teacher of the natural class did not have any encouragement and praise for him, which made Xiao Han very disappointed, but on the surface he pretended to be grinning and said to his classmates, "I don't care!" In fact, he couldn't care less and less about the reading exam ("Why should I work so hard to hold their field?"). ”）。 Children, in fact, are still a bit vain, hoping to get the recognition and encouragement of adults.

In the fifth grade, Xiao Han's classmate's table was a small handsome man Guan Weijie, a returned overseas Chinese child in the United States, with excellent grades, clean clothes, and courtesy. But he never looked at Xiao Han's classmates, for fear that Xiao Han would stain his spotless school uniform. Xiao Han's heart was inevitably sour, but later his relationship with this classmate was not shallow.

After returning to Hong Kong at the age of nine, Xiao Han was signed up by his parents for the Hong Kong Sea Crossing, swimming from Tsim Sha Tsui Pier all the way to Sheung Wan (the Victoria Harbour Crossing Sea Swim, which has been held since 1906, is an annual event in Hong Kong, and was suspended in 1978 with the increasingly busy shipping traffic and deteriorating water quality in Victoria Harbour. In 2011, the event was resumed with the great improvement of water quality). You must know that even if you are an adult at that time, it is not easy to successfully cross the sea, because you are not allowed to stop and rest in the middle. Xiao Han's brother also participated in the competition with him. The parents said to their two sons: "Whoever can successfully cross the sea can get a prize of fifty yuan (which was a big prize at that time)." However, Xiao Han's brother usually spent his mind on studying homework, and did not pay too much attention to exercise and swimming, and gradually lost his strength, had to give up halfway, and got on the lifeboat prepared by his parents in advance. As a result, Xiao Han successfully crossed the sea and received a prize of HK$50, which he used to buy two pairs of the best quality Jenson brand swim trunks, and one for his brother.

When the brothers were returning to Hong Kong from Guangzhou, the brother shot more than twenty sparrows with stone bullets with his homemade regular slingshot in just a few weeks, and was ready to give gifts to his parents. Xiao Han also wanted to learn to play sparrows with his brother, but he didn't hit one, but because he wasn't secretive or quiet enough, he disliked his brother and said, "Don't mess with me in the future." Although when he returned to Hong Kong, these "grass finches" were already a bit smelly because of improper handling, his parents ate some of them and greatly appreciated his thoughts and craftsmanship. This incident has also become a good story among relatives and friends. Xiao Han was quite envious of this, so when he won the swimmer than his brother, his heart was inevitably proud. He rushed to buy swimming trunks, and when he gave them to his brother, he said something like "Although I am not as good as you when I fight birds, you are not as good as me when swimming." He clearly remembered that his brother was very unhappy at that time, and he also regretted that he should not run to his brother to show off and let him not get off the stage.

Three years later, Xiao Han's older brother Deqi was still doing diving while sleepwalking, and accidentally fell from the fourth floor and died, only fourteen years old. Xiao Han could not let go of this for a long time. He always felt that the few words he said at the beginning of the show off had greatly hurt his brother's self-esteem, and it was inseparable from his brother's thinking about swimming when he was sleepwalking. The same mouth, the words spoken or the creation of people or the harm of people. At that time, Xiao Han was determined to say more words about creating people and not to utter evil words again.

The brother is only two years older than Xiao Han, but he is very sensible, considerate, and has countless friends, and he is also the only child among the brothers who does not have to worry about his parents in his studies. It is not difficult to imagine that the white-haired people send the black-haired people, and the death of the eldest son makes Xiao Han's parents cut off their liver and intestines. Parents have always taught their children to be honest, considerate, polite, and do more good, which can be said to be done by my brother. After the pain of losing their son, the couple's relationship actually improved, which is why they later decided to have another child (DeHeng, Henry) under the condition that the economy was not very good. I had hoped it would be a girl, but it would be a man, or five sons! My cousin who lives with me is also very naughty, often joking with his cousins: "Your mother is "no girl"! "None" and "dance" are pronounced the same in Cantonese. Xiao Han told her mother, she did not get angry when she heard it, but felt very creative and funny.

It is inevitable that some things will happen in life, such as going through life and death, which will make people grow up and understand things in an instant. After his brother left, Xiao Han became the eldest son of the family by his second son. He did his best to be a good big brother with all his heart, helping his parents take care of their younger brothers, just as they did when they were alive. But he often felt that he was too local, inadequate, and not good enough, especially since his academic performance had never been comparable to that of his brother.

In fact, where is there any comparison, everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages.

Just as all deaths have lengthy echoes, all memories do not return to zero with time. Life and death are uncertain, unthinking and unforgettable. After the yin and yang are separated, those small things that have been experienced together, even if they are the size of sesame green beans, are also lamentable to recall, sad, heartbroken, and sometimes cheered. People who are long-sleeping will eventually interpret the echoes of life in another way. May the soul of brother Deqi rest in heaven.

Man is bound to leave this world one day, and then the darkness of the world can no longer be suppressed; the suffering of the world does not have to be troubled anymore. Just those who are alive, the days will go on. Bees pick flowers, sweet and bitter self-knowledge; water enters the vessel, and the square circle appears on its own. The snow that falls on a person's heart, we can't see it all.

Even if your heart is like a snow field, you still have to move forward. Even if there are many winds and waves ahead, we still have to ride the wind and waves.
