In the distant Xuanwei, Yunnan, there is such a Mr. Pu surnamed Teacher, who gave birth to 4 sons, 3 sons are in accordance with his expectations, embarked on the road of reading and seeking fame, only the old Erpu in the Tingsheng is stubborn, stubborn, does not like to read, likes to take risks, the most angry to him.
At the age of 14, Pu Zaiting ran away from home and ran after the Ma Gang. Running rivers and lakes is very hard, you need to often cross the mountains, wind and food camping, in the primeval forest of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, all kinds of beasts, insects and snakes are rampant, and if you are not careful to be infected with miasma, you will die.
Pu Zaiting unfortunately got falciparum malaria, a high fever of more than forty degrees, the whole body was scalding hot, for several days did not drink a sip of water, did not eat a grain of rice, only a breath remained, the people who accompanied him thought that he was going to die, did not expect that at the last moment, he actually defeated the disease and came back to life.
There is an old saying in China that if you do not die, you will be blessed. In those years, Pu Zaiting traveled to many places in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Through several years of running rivers and lakes and doing business, he broadened his horizons, had some savings, and accumulated rich experience.
Pu Zaiting decided to start a company, which was Xuanhe Ham Co., Ltd. Yunnan Xuanwei is famous for its rich production of ham, is one of the "three famous legs" in the country, Pu Zaiting made full use of the resources of his hometown, to improve technology, the production of the famous southwest and even the whole of China's Xuanwei ham.
In just a few years, the company's business has become bigger and bigger, but the time is chaotic, warlords are fighting, the people are not happy, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, exploitation and oppression, and the company eventually goes bankrupt. Pu Zaiting did not despair, he regrouped, and founded a company of his own, namely Pu Zaiting Brothers Canning Co., Ltd.
Pu Zaiting was indeed a successful businessman, and in just a few years, the company flourished again. As a major local businessman, Pu Zaiting actively participated in the military. Cai Yi launched a campaign to protect the country, crusading against Yuan Shikai, fighting a war needs money, he set up a military station in Xuanwei, and appointed Pu Zaiting as the head of the military station, responsible for raising grain and grass and other military supplies.
In view of the merits of Pu Zaiting, the great warlord Tang Jiyao hand-written a plaque of "Urgent Justice and Good Righteousness" was given to him. Sun Yat-sen launched the Northern Expedition, and Pu Zaiting responded positively, handing over the family's business to his younger brother and following the Northern Expeditionary Army as the quartermaster general.

Because of his merits in supporting the Northern Expedition, Pu Zaiting was appointed by Sun Yat-sen as the vice president of the National Chamber of Commerce and awarded the rank of major general. So now three words are written on the gate of the Ancestral Residence of the Xuanwei Pu family, called "Major General Di". Sun Yat-sen also inscribed four words on Pu Zaiting's company, "Drinking and Eating Virtue."
Pu Zaiting was not a mercenary businessman, he had money, but he did not value money. He was patriotic and wanted to contribute his part to Sun Yat-sen's cause, he was compassionate and compassionate, he often helped the poor and poor, and he always gave generously and helped his neighbors in any urgent and difficult matters.
Pu Zaiting is also enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, he donated funds to build several bridges for the people of the county, he often said a word, accumulate wealth for his children and grandchildren, it is better to accumulate virtue for his children and grandchildren, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, do not make horses and cattle for children and grandchildren.
Although the rich side is the local ham king, Pu Zaiting has only been married once in his life, he and his wife have a very good relationship, a total of 3 sons and 5 daughters, the eldest son Pu Chengtong stayed at home to take care of the business, the second son Pu Chenggang was a student of the first phase of Huangpu, and the third son Pu Chengxu went to Japan to study.
The most famous is his youngest three daughters, because there is an enlightened father, these three daughters are also like the brothers, the courage to go out of the house, accept the new ideas, they all embarked on the revolutionary road, out of their hometown, to Nanjing, Shanghai, and then to Beijing, and finally gathered in Yan'an, the holy land of revolution.
(Three Sisters of the Pu Clan, Pu Quartz, Pu Qiongying, Pu Daiying)
The eldest was Pu Daiying, who married Le Shaohua in Yan'an, one of the "twenty-eight and a half" Bolsheviks who studied in the Soviet Union, and was a senior general in the Central Soviet Region, who served as the political commissar of the Red Seventh Army.
At that time, Su Yu was the chief of staff of the Red Seventh Army. Le Shaohua's status was above Su Yu, of course, Su Yu did not have a high opinion of him, saying that he was a brutal and blind commander, causing certain losses to the Red Seventh Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Le Shaohua served as vice minister of the Northeast Ministry of Industry.
Then there was Pu Quartz, who changed his name to Lei Xun in Yan'an because of his slow nature, and her husband's name was Zhao Wenwen, a native of northern Shaanxi, who had been the secretary of the Hengshan County Party Committee and a senior party cadre, an old revolutionary, and had been the vice governor of Gansu Province after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The youngest daughter is called Pu Qiongying, because she is the youngest and the most favored by Pu Zaiting. When Pu Qiongying was born, Pu Zaiting was not at home, and when he returned, his wife made a joke to him for the first time, saying that she had a girl, and there were many girls in our family, and after she was born, I threw her away.
This was a joke, but Pu Zaiting took it seriously, how could his own flesh and bones be thrown away? He reached out and gave his wife a slap, the only time he beat her, for the youngest daughter, Pu Qiongying. Of course, later Pu Zaiting apologized to his wife for this.
Among the many children, Pu Qiongying is the most like his father, bold and adventurous. When Pu Qiongying was 4 years old, he crossed the river with his two sisters, there was only a broken wooden bridge, and the two sisters did not dare to cross, Pu Qiongying said loudly, I dare to cross, after saying that I really walked on the bridge, did not take a few steps, he was also scared, and fell into the water with a thud.
Pu Qiongying is fond of reading, and sometimes indulges in the world of books and forgets everything around her. He is also lively and active, climbing trees and climbing walls when he is not studying, and is a famous sprinter in the school, and won the championship of sprinting at their girls' high school games.
In 1931, Nanjing hosted a national student games, and Pu Qiongying participated as one of the student representatives of Yunnan Province. After the end of the games, it was very surprising to everyone that Pu Qiongying did not go home, and she made a bold decision to go to Beijing to study.
At that time, Pu Qiongying was only 15 years old. Father Pu Zaiting left home at the age of 14 and ran with the Ma Gang, Pu Qiongying broke into Beijing alone at the age of 15, and both father and daughter are good teenagers who dare to pursue their dreams, have courage and courage.
In 1936, Pu Qiongying was admitted to the Department of Physics of Peking University, and in 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, and in order to pursue revolutionary truth, she went to Yan'an. Many revolutionary young people who came to Yan'an at that time often had to change their names in order not to drag down their families.
Pu Qiongying changed a good name for herself, called Zhuo Lin. In Yan'an, she met Deng Xiaoping, and in 1939 they married happily, entered the palace of marriage, and since then they have been in the same boat, wind and rain, and have walked hand in hand for more than half a century.
Pu Zaiting, who is known as the King of Yunnan Ham with the rank of major general, of course, would not have thought that his three daughters were so successful, and the three sons-in-law were more powerful than the other, and the most powerful was the younger son-in-law Deng Xiaoping, who was the chief architect of reform and opening up, the helmsman of the republic, and the leader of the zhengguo level.
Pu Zaiting died in 1950 at the age of 80. Pu Quartz died in 1970 at the age of 57, and her husband Zhao Wenwen died in 1967 at the age of 59.
Pu Daiying died in 2001 at the age of 90, and her husband, Le Shaohua, was wrongly punished in 1952, committed suicide, and was later rehabilitated. Pu Qiongying died in 2009 at the age of 93, and the great man of the generation, Deng Xiaoping, died in 1997 at the age of 93.
