The story of childlike innocence of overseas Chinese. About 400 words

For Mother's Call-Chen Longping, a Returned Overseas Chinese. In the early 1980s, a film "Overseas Hong Haier" reflecting the participation of Returned Overseas Chinese in the construction of the motherland was a sensation, and the theme song of the film "I Love You, China" was widely circulated. At that time, due to the founding of New China, a large number of overseas Chinese saw the hope of the Chinese nation's rejuvenation and resolutely returned to China to participate in the socialist revolution and construction with the determination and confidence to serve and build the motherland. Most of them may not have much money, but some people have a pure heart, just like countless streams thrown into the arms of the sea. Among them, a man named Chen Longping is one of them.

On a hot morning at the end of August, the reporter came to the entrance of Hangkong Road Community in Hankou. A white-haired old man who was over 70 years old had been waiting for a long time. Passing through the alley of the community, the old man pointed to a unit building and said, this is No.80 Hangkong Road, the dormitory of Wu Jian Group Jishi Company, where my family lives. When the house was built, instead of a brick, structural slab technology was adopted, all of which were prefabricated materials. There were only two such houses in Wuhan at that time.

1932, a boy named Chen Longping was born in Douhu Town, Sandakan City, Borneo, Malaysia, when it was still a British colony. Chen Longping's father opened a barber shop in the local area, and his mother also worked odd jobs to support her family. Although born and raised overseas, Chen Longping received Chinese education from an early age because of the large number of local Chinese communities. At the age of six, he went to Xinhua School run by local Chinese.

1937 after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Chinese people all over the world got the message of solidarity with the motherland, and the trend spread all over the country. Therefore, in the children's group organized by Xinhua School, Chen Long became the backbone of various activities and was highly valued by teachers and principals. Chen Longping, who is only eight years old, plays the leading role in a donation performance organized by the school to resist Japan and save the nation. A brother and sister escaped from the enemy-occupied hometown, and the younger sister killed the Japanese. My brother held her and stood up slowly to sing "On the Songhua River". At one time, the audience was furious and generous. Coins were scattered directly on the stage, and Jackie Chan was deeply shocked. Since then, patriotic feelings have taken root in his heart.

1942, the Japanese army went south and captured Nanyang. North Borneo was ruled by the Japanese army and was not returned to the British colony until the end of World War II in 1945. After several years of war, Chen Longping, a boy of 13 years old, has become a worker in a British rubber plantation, driving a car and a bulldozer. In many thoughts of China people, the interests of the motherland are closely related to them. All the news about civil war and progressive ideas is spread among Chinese businessmen through their contact with overseas. 1946, Chen Longping met a Malaysian leader named Zheng. Influenced by his progressive ideas, he often took part in some strikes organized by them, rebelled against the oppression of the capitalists on the workers and fought for human rights and treatment.

With the growth of age and rich experience, Chen Longping's desire for the motherland is also increasing. 1949, China was liberated, and China * * * established a new China, which greatly shocked overseas Chinese. Although the British territories have a strict information blockade, among the local Chinese, People's Daily and People's Pictorial are still circulating in secret. He said, "We can't let them know. If we let them know, they will be arrested and imprisoned! " ! For most people, they still have families in China. "

News of the motherland keeps coming, and groups of overseas Chinese drive each other around the motherland. As a young China person, how I want to return to the embrace of the motherland and devote myself to the construction of the motherland!

The road to return home is not smooth. It is very difficult to apply for returning to China on British territory. The British examination is very strict, even if they pass the layers of interrogation, they may not pass the application. 1952, Chen Longping has gone through four interrogation procedures. Finally, the Englishman simply cut to the chase: "What are you doing back? Are you going back to war? " He said, "I won't go back to war. Our motherland was liberated. I'm going back to take part in socialist construction. The other can be assigned to the field. I'm going back to the farm. " Of course, the British don't believe it. "Do you really want to go to the farm? Aren't you going back to war? " When the Korean War broke out, they thought Chen Longping was going back to fight. The Englishman was furious: "Do you have any land when you go back to farming?" Chen Longping said: "When I go back, the country will give me fields." After nearly a year's long wait, Chen Longping finally looked forward to the news he had been dreaming of. 1953 12 13, the seagoing vessel carrying overseas Chinese docked in Kowloon, Hong Kong, and crossed the bridge between the customs clearance port and the mainland of China. Chen Longping witnessed the face of the motherland for the first time in his life, and his mother is warmly welcoming the wanderer back with open arms. He recalled the scene at that time: "This is the motherland, this is Hong Kong, this is the People's Liberation Army, and this is the British army. As soon as we crossed the bridge, the radio said that you were welcome to come back to participate in the construction of the motherland, and the song "Five-Star Red Flag Flying in the Wind" was also played. At that time, more than a dozen people on board shed tears. How many years of expectation and yearning have finally come true today and returned to the embrace of the motherland. "

The first time I set foot on the land of the motherland, the equal people in Chen Long were warmly received. The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office sent them to the overseas Chinese study class in Taishan, Guangdong, and then asked him what he wanted to do. At that time, Chen Longping thought nothing but the heart of returning to China and the enthusiasm of serving the motherland. He said that when I returned to the motherland, I just wanted to do something, work, and do anything.

After the completion of the overseas Chinese study class, 1954, a large number of returned overseas Chinese were distributed all over the motherland, and Wuhan received more than 200 people from Chen Longping and his party. He still clearly remembers that on that day, when the ship arrived in Hankou, the welcoming crowd stood on both sides of the Yuehan Wharf, beating gongs and drums and holding a large slogan "Welcome returned overseas Chinese to participate in the construction of the motherland". Chen Longping burst into tears again. He said, "With such care and warm welcome, I think the motherland is really great!" . From then on, Chen Long Ping began to take root in Wuhan and became a driver of the Second Construction Company of Wuhan Construction Bureau. On an old photo with the words "1954 Hankou returned overseas Chinese divided into two groups as souvenirs", Chen Longping was in his prime.

1In the summer of 954, Wuhan suffered the most violent Yangtze River flood since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Chen Longping's car was sent to the front to fight floods. It was shortly after he started working, and he worked hard unconditionally, putting all his energy into his work and running around the clock on the road to fight floods and rescue. At that time, there were only 20 vehicles in the flood control headquarters, so the time was tight and the task was heavy, and the danger of flood had to be overcome. Tasks are like military orders. No matter how difficult or dangerous the location is, materials must be delivered. In this way, this young man who is active in the front line of flood fighting has won unanimous praise from everyone. When he learned that he was a returned overseas Chinese, people were both surprised and admired.

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, Wuhan's economic construction was in full swing. During the construction of Wuhan Exhibition Hall from 65438 to 0955, Chen Longping experienced another great challenge in his work. At that time, the Jianghan Bridge connecting Hankou and Hanyang was not completely closed, but the construction of the exhibition hall needed large rootstocks, and the large rootstock factory at that time was in Hanyang, and trucks could not get there at all. The construction period of key projects can't be delayed, so in the end, everyone thought of an adventurous way to set up a springboard on the unclosed broken bridge surface and direct vehicles to pass on the spot.

Although Chen Longping accepted this task, he was still scared when his car reached the river and looked at the temporary activity board and the rolling river below. Seeing this scene, the bridge repair workers at the scene kept encouraging him: "Never mind, we are watching and directing you, and the insurance is no problem!" Chen Longping got up the courage and passed slowly and smoothly under the command of the workers. He said that I still have a lingering fear when I think about it now. 1957, Chen Longping married a Guangdong girl who worked in Wuhan. Because Chen Longping is very devoted to his work, his home is the place where he visits the least. When his eldest son 1958 was born, his wife was in dystocia and he had no time to take care of it. I remember my wife had an operation during dystocia and asked her family members to sign it, or Chief Ma of the Personnel Department signed it on her behalf.

Because of his outstanding work performance, Chen Longping is rated as advanced every year. 1959 was awarded as a model worker in Hubei province, 196 1 joined China. 1964, organizationally promoted him from driver to team captain. Two years later, he officially left the front line, entered the management and became the legal representative of the team. At that time, there were nearly 100 vehicles in the fleet, and there were several large cranes of 20-30 tons in Wuhan alone. Chen Longping should take care of all tasks, production safety, self-financing, and even the welfare of all employees and family chores. He said, I am responsible to the party and the people. All my youth has contributed to the socialist construction of the motherland, and I have no regrets to go back abroad to make a choice. In the conversation with Chen Lao, reporters can often hear a sentence he mentioned: "I don't have any requirements. . . . . . "

1992, after Chen Longping retired, he lived in a unit building of Wu Jian Group Dormitory, No.80 Hangkong Road. This is what he finally got when he allocated a house in the unit. He said, I am very satisfied with my life, my retirement salary is enough, and my children and grandchildren are fine. Every morning, I will walk for ten minutes to the nearby Zhongshan Park to exercise, watch people play chess and sing operas, and chat with old friends.

When the reporter got up to say goodbye, Chen Lao pointed to the lawn of an office building downstairs outside the window and said, "Look, this place was our team's garage. The photo you just saw was taken here. I was already the captain at that time. . . . . . "。
