1. Zhou Enlai "study for the rise of China"

When he was 12 years old. Zhou Enlai left his hometown and came to Northeast China. At that time, Northeast China was the focus of competition among imperialist powers in China. He got off the bus in Shenyang, and the uncle who came to pick him up pointed to a prosperous and lively place and said to him: "Don't go there to play if you have nothing to do!"

"Why?" Zhou Enlai asked confused.

"That is a foreign leased land. It will be bad if it causes trouble. There is no way to deal with it!"

"Then why?" Zhou Enlai broke the casserole and asked the end.

"Why? China is sluggish!" The uncle sighed and said nothing more.

Soon, Zhou Enlai entered Dongguan Model School. He could never forget what his uncle said when he picked him up. He often thought: "What does the leased land look like? Why can't Chinese people go there, but foreigners can live there? Isn't this Chinese land..." A series of questions made him Zhou Enlai was puzzled, and his curiosity drove him to see what happened.

On a sunny Sunday, Zhou Enlai carried his uncle on his back and made an appointment with a close classmate to break into the leased area. Hey! This area is indeed very different from other places: the streets are bright and bustling, and the people walking on both sides of the streets are mostly foreigners with yellow hair, white skin, big noses and arrogant patrol police.

While Zhou Enlai and his classmates were looking around, they suddenly found a group of people gathered in front of the patrol station, shouting something loudly. They hurried over and saw a ragged woman in the crowd crying and complaining, while a big foreigner stood beside him triumphantly. After asking, she found out that this woman's relative was run over by a foreigner's car. She had expected the Chinese police station to support him and punish the foreigner. Unexpectedly, instead of punishing the foreigner who caused the trouble, the Chinese patrol gave her a scolding. The Chinese people watching clenched their fists. But who does what in foreign leased lands? I can only give advice to those unfortunate women. Only then did Zhou Enlai truly understand the meaning of his uncle's "China's sluggishness".

In the self-cultivation class that day, Principal Wei asked the students a question: "Why do you study?"

Zhou Enlai sat there quietly and did not rush to speak. Principal Wei noticed it, gestured for everyone to calm down, and called his name to answer. Zhou Enlai stood up and answered clearly and decisively; "Read for the rise of China!"

Principal Wei was heartened after hearing this! He never expected that a twelve or thirteen-year-old child would have such ambition and broadmindedness! He opened his eyes and asked again; "Tell me again, why are you studying?"

"Studying for the rise of China!"

Zhou Enlai's sonorous and powerful words won the Principal Wei's applause; "Okay! For the rise of China! Those who are willing to follow Zhou Sheng's example!"

Yes, the young Zhou Enlai had already realized at that time that if the Chinese wanted not to be affected by the empire, To avoid the bullying of doctrine, we must revitalize China. Reading should be aimed at this.
