Zhou Yu's related stories

1949 after the birth of new China, Zhou Enlai wrote to his sixth uncle and invited him to Beijing for deliberation. Zhou boarded the boat from Yangzhou and came to Beijing by train via Zhenjiang. He met his seventh nephew, Zhou Enlai, in the West Flower Hall of Zhongnanhai. As soon as Zhou Enlai met, he said happily: "This time, it's' safe when you come'."

Zhou Enlai told his administrative secretary He Qian to send Zhou Zhou to meet his sixth uncle at Beijing Far East Hotel. This was the best of the four guest houses owned by the Propaganda Department of the State Council at that time, and a number of celebrities such as Zhuang Xiquan, Gao Shiqi and Mei Lanfang once lived here. Later, I moved to the Zhonghui Hotel, which is still a higher level. At that time, the new China was just born. As the first Prime Minister of the Special Administrative Council (later renamed the State Council), Zhou Enlai often invited Zhou Xihuating to ask him about the organizational structure, functions, staffing and salary arrangements of government agencies at all levels during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, so that the people's government could adopt or modify them. Give an explanation patiently on Monday.

195 1 June, Zhou was officially employed as the first librarian in central research institute of culture and history with the recommendation and approval of Qi Yanming, executive deputy secretary-general of the State Council. The first batch of people employed in central research institute of culture and history were respected scholars and celebrities in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, such as Fu, Zhang, Qi Baishi, etc. They are all caring, so I said to him before the week of employment: "During the Republic of China, you had two achievements that people should not forget: First, when you were secretary Changchun Li and governor of Jiangsu, you calmed the warlord war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and saved people's lives and property in the war; Second, when Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, you, as the secretary of his commander-in-chief's office, didn't go with him. This was a political foresight. Since the people are the masters of the country, you should consider doing something for the people. "

So how to evaluate his "two virtues" of his sixth uncle Zhou?

It was in the early years of the Republic of China in the 20th century, when domestic warlords became independent. Tianjin's Spring Calendar appreciated Zhou's talent and appointed Zhou as his secretary-general as spin doctor when he was governor of Jiangxi. After Chun Li moved to Jiangsu, he continued to hire Zhou as the Secretary-General. At this time, Qi Xie Yuan, who served as the chief of staff of the Spring Calendar and later served as the commander of the Sixth Army Division, was expelled from Zhejiang by Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang Province, and once again took refuge in the Spring Calendar. Chun-Li relies on this "right-hand man" to assist him, and his location is Jiangsu, where the economy in the Yangtze River Delta is relatively developed. He is really well-fed and prosperous. However, Qi Xie Yuan always had the ambition of being a warlord, and he was very unwilling to be chased by Lu Yongxiang. He dreamed of regaining his lost "Xanadu" in Zhejiang, so he tried his best to sow dissension among them: first, he sent false information to Lu Yongxiang, saying that the Spring Festival ceremony depended on his own soldiers, grain and strength, and he wanted to bully the weak, so he was about to send troops to Zhejiang. This made Lu Yongxiang, whose strength and financial resources were not as good as those of the Spring Calendar, very nervous at the moment, so he quickly dispatched troops to guard the border between Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and added sentries to the main roads, which made him extremely nervous. Qi Xie Yuan secretly happy, and in front of Mason Lee excuse provoke said, Lu Yongxiang overreached, is the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces assemble heavily, plotting to seize territory. Immediately urged Chunli to strike first, quickly arise and cut Lu, so as not to be passively beaten. Mason Lee dare not rashly self-determination, so he consulted with Zhou Xuanyi. Zhou first advised to calm down and advocated finding out the truth before deciding whether to participate in the war. He also analyzed and compared the disparity in strength and economic strength between the two sides, and made an accurate judgment that Lu Yongxiang would never take the initiative to send troops to fight Jiangsu, thus stabilizing Chun-Li. Then, Zhou used his relationship in Zhejiang to contact the Secretary-General quickly, asking him to persuade him to withdraw his troops from Jiangsu and Zhejiang as soon as possible, so as to avoid accidental fire and make a big mistake. Lu listened to his advice, and finally made the explosive warlord melee in Jiangsu and Zhejiang disappear, saving the lives and property of the people in the two provinces from a war disaster. 1920, Chun Li died suddenly and inexplicably in Jiangsu Dujunfu, and Qi became Jiangsu Dujunfu, and invited Zhou to continue as his secretary-general. Zhou suspected that the death of Chun Li might be related to Qi's "hands and feet", so he resolutely refused to associate with villains and left Huai 'an angrily. Since then, he has never held any public office.

The second thing is that when Yuan Shikai wanted to be the emperor of the "Chinese Empire", Zhou, the secretary of Yuan Shikai's Grand Commander's Office, did not do so, but ignored his personal safety and bluntly told Yuan Shikai not to move against the current. As a result, Yuan Shikai and his minions ignored and discriminated against him, so Zhou had to leave quietly in anger.

New China is a researcher of literature and history.

Considering the above two virtues of his sixth uncle, Zhou was appointed as the first batch of librarians in central research institute of culture and history. According to the information we have at present, this is also the only time that Zhou Enlai directly hired his relatives during his 26 years as a prime minister of a country.

Zhou was 77 years old when he was hired as a librarian in central research institute of culture and history. But he is old and energetic, studies hard and tries to adapt to the new situation in the new society. Zhou has a strong foundation in calligraphy. After working in the Museum of Literature and History, he copied Mao Zedong's "On New Democracy" and some poems of Mao Zedong word by word with a brush, and published an article in Guangming Daily, enthusiastically praising the leadership of China's * * * production party and praising the achievements of new China and building a new society. On the first anniversary of 1950 10 1 National Day, Zhou was also invited to the viewing platform to attend the ceremony. It was a high honor at that time. On July 195 1, 1, he was elected as the representative of the Central Museum of Literature and History at the 30th anniversary celebration of China * * * Production Party, and toasted the chairman together with Mr. Fu, the curator, and expressed heartfelt congratulations to China * * * Production Party. At the same time, he also wrote an article "Celebrating the Second Anniversary of the Founding of People's Republic of China (PRC)" in Guangming Daily with the signatures of 44 librarians of the Central Museum of Literature and History, including Zhang and Fu. Under the signature of "Zhou Luzhi", he personally wrote an article "Celebrating the National Day of 195 1 year 1 October1day", which was published in the same page of the same newspaper. Zhou wrote affectionately in the article: "Thirty years ago, I saw the decline of state affairs and dirty political circles. I resigned and retired, and my children and grandchildren were full, and I became a waste. Unexpectedly, at the age of 80, he made a comeback in China, ready to serve as a librarian and re-enter the stage. Although he is a supporting role, he can also jump an official and run a few times. Have the courage to be a child and not hurt the boss. I hope to live longer ... "His joy and excitement are vividly written on paper.

At that time, New China had just been born, and some people often pretended to be Zhou Enlai's own family or relatives to find the West Flower Hall for profit, making various demands, some for work, some for money and so on. Zhou Enlai is busy with work and generally has no time to meet; The Zhou family is a big family, and Deng is not always clear about the Zhou family. Every time he receives such a person, he is very embarrassed: it is not appropriate to "offend" at will; People who come will be treated with courtesy, but they are afraid that they will be "fake and shoddy" and make jokes. So, He Qian, his administrative secretary, asked his sixth uncle for advice, and invited the "six old men" (this was the respectful name given to Zhou by the staff of the West Flower Hall at that time) to introduce the relatives of all parties in the Zhou family. Soon, I wrote back to Zhou, giving a detailed introduction to Zhou's relatives. Zhou wrote in a letter to:

Comrade He Shuji:

The telephone has an extension, so it is often difficult to hear clearly. Zhou was mentioned yesterday, and there is no such person in the classroom. Cousins of the Prime Minister are the only ones left: my son Quinn, 50 years old; Gene of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is in Shanghai, aged 42; Hong En, a five-bedroom man, is 49 years old in Shanghai. I haven't seen his original match recently. Enxu, written in the previous list, died before he knew he had a job in Shanghai; Enyan, a three-bedroom girl, is in Guangzhou, in her forties. She also recently learned that he works in Guangzhou Railway Bureau and has four employees. Also, from my cousin Encan, he has nine rooms in Yangzhou and is in his forties. That's all. This man must be a fake and may not dare to see me. If he comes to see me, or if he is a distant relative, he should be informed by phone.

This kind of cloth is synthetic.

Zhou was not at ease after writing the above letter, and specially wrote an attachment in detail. The full text of the annex is more than 3,000 words, neatly written with a brush. This is the most comprehensive and concrete "Atlas" of Zhou Enlai's eighth generation relatives (also known as "Five Blessingg" relatives), and * * * describes nearly 80 relatives of Zhou Enlai. In Zhou Atlas, even Wang Qubing, who was misinformed as a first cousin and former president of the Qiu Jin Research Association, clearly stated that "they are all stepmother's daughters and have no blood relationship". His attachment became a mirror for those who went to the "West Flower Hall" at that time to recognize Zhou Enlai as their relatives. Whether it is true or not can be clearly seen by comparing it with the "mirror". This "mirror" has been collected by Zhou Enlai's former residence in the West Flower Hall from 65438 to 0994, and now it has become another precious source material for studying Zhou Enlai's family.

During his stay in Beijing, Zhou also enthusiastically helped with the work of relatives. 1951February 4, 2004 14, he received a letter from his cousin Lv Juehou in the West Flower Hall, and replied, "This letter was submitted to Zhongnanhai about your family background and your nephew Yan's autobiography. Only my nephew and his wife (referring to Deng) are busy all day, unable to spare time, and there are not many letters reading everywhere. However, the large number of unemployed people in Zunfu is deeply concerned; I don't respect the government alone, but I have friends with my relatives for many years, and the same is true. It is inconvenient and selfish to give up the position of nephews and give them to subordinates one by one. In fact, there are too many people in Beijing. Therefore, last year, the State Council made it clear twice that it is promising to issue various measures to help intellectuals and unemployed people who are out of school. However, your son is going to have a job now, and your nephew doesn't know what to do. The personnel bureau has too much backlog and there is no place to place it. It is best to let it wait for an opportunity to register at an institution nearby, and young people will take exams or join the army. " Zhou Enlai was deeply moved by his reasonable words.

Zhou lived in Beijing for just over three years and lived happily in his later years. However, the leisurely work in the literature and history museum will inevitably make him feel homesick and nostalgic. Shaoxing has his ancestral home, Yangzhou has his parents buried, and Huai 'an is the place where he first worked, lived and went to school for many years. He really wants to go back and see it. But Zhou Enlai, who is strict with himself, thinks that if the old man goes back, "the local government will definitely give him special reception and care. This will inevitably increase the burden on the local government and affect people's normal work. " "In addition, Zhou Enlai has always opposed the old custom of" returning home with clothes ".He wants to take the lead and set a new fashion in the new society, setting an example for the whole party. I politely advised Uncle Liu not to go back to his hometown. " 1 951March1Sunday, Zhou also mentioned this in his letter to Shaoxing cousin Lu juehou: "I wanted to have a seat in Zhejiang, but my nephew was too far away to go alone in his later years." He is a man who has experienced several dynasties and periods in Qing Dynasty, Republic of China, Japanese Puppet and New Society. He can understand the general situation, also can understand the meaning of my nephew Zhou Enlai. Since then, he has never made any personal demands on Zhou Enlai.

I am very pleased with Zhou's understanding. In his spare time, he sent someone to take his sixth uncle to the West Flower Hall to talk about state affairs and family affairs. Whenever Yue Opera, Yang Opera and Huai Opera are performed in Beijing, Zhou Enlai always tells the staff of Xihuating not to forget to buy two tickets for Sixth Master. Sometimes Zhou Enlai invited him to the Summer Palace to help each other on Kunming Lake. Speaking of the summoning and meeting of Cixi and Guangxu in the Summer Palace, the old man wore a silvery white beard and laughed heartily, as if he had returned to his childhood. Zhou Enlai also said to his colleagues who went to the West Flower Hall many times: "Uncle Liu is old, so he should visit him often and talk with him when he is free."

1March, 952, Zhou's only son Zhou died in Yangzhou at the age of 50. Very considerate of Zhou and the loss of his son. With the consent of the old man, the party concerned took his favorite great-grandson Zhou Guozhen from Yangzhou to Beijing, accompanied the old man while attending school, and paid all the tuition and living expenses of Zhou Guozhen to relieve the pain of his sixth uncle's loss. 1952 In August, on the occasion of Zhou's 80th birthday, according to the custom of his hometown in northern Jiangsu, he invited his younger brother Zhou Enshou and his nieces and nephews to gather in the West Flower Hall to hold a simple family dinner for his sixth uncle. According to the memory of Han Fuyu, the chief guard and bodyguard, the Prime Minister was very happy on the birthday of Sixth Ancestor. He not only took the lead in toasting on the table, but also personally tied an apron and cooked the hometown dishes that six ancestors loved, such as braised lion's head in Huai 'an.

1On September 2, 953, Mr. Zhou died of senile bronchitis in Beijing at the age of 8 1. Zhou Enlai was very busy. He went to Jiaxing Temple in Beijing, saw off his uncle's body and presided over the funeral. On September 6, Zhou went to the funeral, and his grandson Zhou Huazhang led the coffin to the point. Zhou Enlai was so busy that he asked Deng to attend the funeral for him. Deng sent the coffin to the First People's Cemetery in the eastern suburb of Beijing, and the representative personally shoveled the earth for the burial of Zhou Tomb.
