Feng Yuxiang's son wants to return to China to settle down. Deng Xiaoping shook his head: He can also contribute to the motherland abroad.

In 1982, the news of Feng Hongzhi's return to China swept across the north and south of the great river like a whirlwind, which aroused heated discussion among people all over the country. People talked about it one after another because he was the son of Feng Yuxiang. During the war-torn Republic of China, Feng Yuxiang was not only the leader of the northwest warlords, but also the sworn brother of Chiang Kai-shek.

Deng Xiaoping, then chairman of the Central Military Commission, immediately met with Feng Hongzhi after learning the news. During the conversation, Deng Xiaoping asked him, "Do you have any wishes to realize?"

Feng Hongzhi said, "I want to go back to China and settle down." Deng Xiaoping thought for a long time after hearing this. Under Feng Hongzhi's expectant eyes, he shook his head and did not agree.

After this incident got out, many people couldn't understand why Deng Xiaoping refused Feng Hongzhi to return to China to settle down.

The answer was not revealed until five years later. People who didn't understand Deng Xiaoping at that time also praised Deng Xiaoping's brilliance.

so, what happened five years later? What's so brilliant about Deng Xiaoping's decision?

In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time, Feng Yuxiang, as a senior official of the National Government, often organized various national salvation movements. Influenced by his father, Feng Hongzhi often participated in various movements with his father when he was a child. He watched Feng Yuxiang make patriotic speeches again and again, calling on the people to contribute money to save the country.

After raising funds, Feng Yuxiang often divided the money into two parts, half to the National Government and the other half to Zhou Enlai in Chongqing. At that time, Feng Hongzhi didn't understand his father's intention.

under his questioning, his father told him that although he was an official of the Kuomintang, he would treat the people equally in the national crisis and help the * * * production party to complete the great cause of anti-Japanese.

In 1945, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression entered the final stage. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's mind was no longer on anti-Japanese. He began to order people to attack the liberated areas in an attempt to seize the fruits of the victory of the Eighth Route Army revolution. This scene made Feng Yuxiang and his son feel chilling about the Kuomintang.

Soon after, Feng Hongzhi embarked on a journey to study abroad, and his father Feng Yuxiang found an excuse to "inspect water conservancy" and came to the United States to escape the civil war.

Feng Hongzhi immediately wrote a letter to his father after reading this article. In the letter, he asked, isn't father and Chiang Kai-shek sworn brothers? Is this going to break up? Feng Yuxiang replied that Chiang Kai-shek stood on the opposite side of the people, and I stood on the same side as the people. No common cause, no common goal.

But it is extremely regrettable that such a patriotic general was killed and died when he sailed to the Soviet Union in 1948 to attend the preparatory meeting of the China People's Political Consultative Conference.

Feng Hongzhi, who learned that his father was killed, was very sad. He recalled his father's little experiences with him in his mind and determined to be a patriotic and ambitious young man like his father.

In October 1949, when Feng Hongzhi, who was far away from the other side of the ocean, learned the news of the founding of New China, he was very happy. He was extremely eager to return to his motherland and work for the new China. Unfortunately, the obstruction and hostility of the American authorities made him fail to return to China many times.

At this time, Feng Hongzhi obtained doctoral degrees from new york Institute of Technology and the University of California. Arguably, with this degree, he could get a good job in the United States. However, because he refused to become an American citizen, his job search was frequently blocked and he had to work as an ordinary lathe worker in a machinery factory in California.

At that time, many friends had advised Feng Hongzhi to become an American citizen, so that he could survive in the United States. In the face of friends' advice, Feng Hongzhi refused without hesitation. He said, "I am from China, and I have the blood of the Chinese people. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will not change my China nationality and join the American nationality."

In the face of stubborn Feng Hongzhi, many Americans around him once laughed at his ignorance and waited to see his jokes, but they were soon hit in the face. Although Feng Hongzhi only found a job as an ordinary lathe worker, he won the appreciation of the leaders with his superb skills and profound knowledge, and rose step by step.

In the following decades, Feng Hongzhi changed jobs several times. With his own efforts, he gradually became famous in the United States, and was invited to participate in the design of nuclear power plants and nuclear submarines in the United States, becoming a top expert in high-tech fields.

By the 197s or so, the relationship between China and the United States was showing signs of breaking the ice. Under this background, Feng Hongzhi moved around the society to promote the normalization of Sino-American relations.

with the efforts of patriots from all walks of life and China and the United States, the publication of the Sino-US Joint Communique in 1972 finally ushered in a historic turning point in Sino-US relations. Since then, Sino-US relations have officially entered a normalized relationship and ended decades-long hostility.

When Feng Hongzhi read the contents of the Sino-US Joint Communique in the newspaper, he couldn't help cheering at home. He told his relatives and friends that he finally had hope to return to China.

in the following year, in order to promote exchanges and cooperation, China and the United States set up liaison offices in the capital region.

Huang Zhen, director of the Chinese Liaison Office, was greatly surprised when he learned that Feng Hongzhi had not been naturalized in the United States, because many students who had studied abroad had been naturalized in other countries for the convenience of doing things. It is really rare for Feng Hongzhi to insist on not changing his nationality. In order to meet this patriot, Huang Zhen personally invited Feng Hongzhi to meet him.

In the spring of 1973, after receiving an invitation from Huang Zhen, Feng Hongzhi stayed up all night. He excitedly told his wife that someone from the China Liaison Office had contacted him, and he must behave well tomorrow.

The next day, Feng Hongzhi ironed the Chinese tunic suit several times before putting it on. When he came to Huang Zhen's office, he kindly stepped forward and shook hands with Huang Zhen: "Director Huang."

Huang Zhen said excitedly, "After the death of Mr. Feng Yuxiang, we inquired about you everywhere, and now we have found you."

After hearing this, Feng Hongzhi's eyes sparkled with moved tears. He said, "I've been waiting for you, too!"

After saying this, Huang Zhen welcomed Feng Hongzhi into the room. After the two sat down, Huang Zhen said with emotion: "Mr. Feng, you are the first China expatriate I have ever met here who has not joined American citizenship. Like your father, you are a patriotic and ambitious person. You have suffered a lot over the years."

after hearing this, Feng Hongzhi shook his head and said, "My father taught me that China people should have their own backbone. After all these years in the United States, I have never compromised with anyone, not to mention that I am from China, so it is natural not to join the United States."

After hearing what Feng Hongzhi said, Huang Zhen was even more passionate. He nodded and said, "The person I admire most in my life is Mr. Feng. By the way, if Mr. Feng has encountered any difficulties, just ask me."

Feng Hongzhi thought for a moment and looked at Huang Zhen sincerely: "My only wish is to get the passport of the Chinese people."

Shortly after this conversation, Feng Hongzhi received a passport issued by China. On the day of receiving the passport, he looked at it again and again. After a long time, he sighed with relief: "My wish has finally come true."

In September 1982, Feng Hongzhi received an invitation from the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese People's Republic of China to attend the "centenary of his father Feng Yuxiang's birth". Apart from politicians, there were also brothers and sisters who had lived in China for many years. Feng Hongzhi was filled with a relaxed and cordial smile at the event. He looked at the scene of Feng's family reunion and felt the desire to return to China and settle down.

After this activity, Feng Hongzhi attended several meetings of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee. One day, just after attending the meeting, he was told by Wu Maosun, vice chairman of the Chinese Revolutionary Committee, that Deng Xiaoping would meet him.

After hearing this news, Feng Hongzhi was both excited and excited: "Comrade Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of reform and opening up, wants to see me? This is really unexpected. "

On the afternoon of September 14th, Feng Hongzhi took a bus to the Great Hall of the People. At this time, Deng Xiaoping was already waiting in the living room. At the moment when he saw Feng Hongzhi stepping into the door, Deng Xiaoping stood up to greet him. At this moment, the two men held hands tightly, and Deng Xiaoping smiled and said, "Welcome Comrade Feng Hongzhi."

After the group took their seats, Deng Xiaoping looked around and asked about the situation of Feng Hongzhi's brothers and sisters. After learning that DaJieFu could die, Deng Xiaoping fell into memories. He said that at that time, Vernon, Jiang Jingguo and himself were studying at Sun Yat-sen University in the Soviet Union, so Vernon and Jiang Jingguo were young ...

Deng Xiaoping's story reminded Feng Hongzhi of his childhood, and he recalled his family life.

With this in mind, Feng Hongzhi took the initiative to tell Deng Xiaoping: "There is an old saying in China that it is difficult to leave one's homeland, and the leaves fall back to the roots. I am looking forward to returning to China to settle down and want to do something for my country in my lifetime."

after thinking for a while, Deng Xiaoping shook his head. He told Feng Hongzhi, "I know that Mr. Feng has patriotism and understands your eagerness to return home, but I still suggest that you don't rush back to China. After all, you have lived abroad for so many years and accumulated some contacts abroad, so you can play a role that you can't play at home."

hearing this, Feng Hongzhi immediately learned Deng Xiaoping's intention. He nodded and said, "Chairman Deng is considerate."

When Deng Xiaoping saw that Feng Hongzhi understood his meaning, he smiled happily: "In foreign countries, he can also contribute to the promotion of the reunification of the motherland and the four modernizations."

Feng Hongzhi said seriously, "I will definitely finish the task your old man told me."

after returning to the United States, Feng Hongzhi never forgot the task assigned by Deng Xiaoping. He joined with patriots from all walks of life and founded the Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification. Under his call, more and more overseas Chinese joined the organization. They called for cross-strait reunification by publishing newspaper articles and other means, and made great contributions to the great cause of peaceful reunification of the motherland.

In addition, Feng Hongzhi also used the special relationship between the Feng family and the Jiang family to do his work on Taiwan.

When he was a child, my father Feng Yuxiang and Chiang Kai-shek were sworn brothers. He often visited Chiang Kai-shek's house, and he still left an autograph from Chiang Kai-shek. In addition, his classmate during his study in Germany was Jiang Weiguo, Chiang Kai-shek's son. Therefore, Feng Hongzhi planned to infiltrate Chiang Kai-shek's house as a relative and old friend to do cross-strait reunification work.

In the following years, Feng Hongzhi often wrote to Jiang Jingguo to shake Jiang Jingguo's heart.

In 1987, Feng Hongzhi used his "killer weapon". On his way back to China to visit relatives, he took Fenghua to Xikou, Jiang Jingguo's hometown, and held three cups of dirt in front of his biological mother Mao Shi's grave.

After that, Feng Hongzhi put three cups of photos of the earth and the cemetery into a brocade box and attached a letter to Jiang Jingguo:

After Jiang Jingguo received this letter, he dismissed all the people in the office. He held the loess in his hand and turned over the photos one by one. At this time, his eyes were already full of tears. He couldn't help mumbling "Mother, son, I'm sorry about you", but he fell behind and read it carefully again.

It is worth mentioning that Feng Hongzhi's letter was sent in August. In just one month after receiving the letter, Jiang Jingguo changed the attitude of visiting relatives on both sides of the strait. In early September, a five-member working group was set up to study the issue of visiting relatives on the mainland.

After several days' research, the Taiwan Province authorities finally loosened their attitude and adopted the plan of visiting relatives in the mainland on October 14th. After that, people from Taiwan Province went to the mainland one after another, which set off an upsurge of betrothal. Meanwhile, people on both sides of the strait have been in constant consultations and exchanges, and their relations have become closer and closer.

Later, when people look back on this historical event, they have to admire Deng Xiaoping's brilliance. In the face of Feng Hongzhi's request to return to China, Deng Xiaoping woke him up with some words, which made Feng Hongzhi use his special identity to carry out work on Taiwan.

thanks to Feng Hongzhi's efforts, Taiwan Province gradually opened the mainland to visit relatives, ending the confrontation between the two sides of the strait for many years and opening a new chapter for friendly exchanges between the two sides of the strait.
