The way to teach children

Son profile

Teng Daiyuan has five sons: his eldest son Teng Jiuxiang, his second son Teng Jiuguang, his third son Teng Jiuming, his fourth son Teng Jiugeng and his fifth son Teng Jiuxin.

Father son story

Once, the eldest son Jiuxiang begged Teng Daiyuan to find a job for himself in Beijing. Teng Daiyuan thought deeply and said to his son that he should find a job for you in Beijing according to his father and son's love. But Communist Party cadres can only serve the people wholeheartedly, and never have the power to seek personal interests with their positions. Teng Daiyuan also repeatedly told his son, "if there are any difficulties at home, you should find a way to overcome them, Don't trouble the country with my brand, "Jiuxiang nodded and promised. In November 1943, Teng Daiyuan's second son Jiuguang was born. At that time, it was the most tense and difficult period of the war, when the war of resistance against Japan shifted from a strategic stalemate to a strategic counterattack. The Japanese aggressors constantly "swept" and "nibbled" the base areas. The cruel struggle made them have no time to take care of their children, so they had to foster Jiuguang in their hometown. After the founding of new China, Jiu Guang was taken back to Beijing and enrolled in a school for the children of cadres. In school, Jiuguang lived a carefree life and had little contact with the outside world, which made the child who grew up in the countryside a little forgetful. Teng Daiyuan thinks that this is not conducive to the healthy growth of children, so he transferred the children to an ordinary school. But Jiuguang's problems of being naughty, having fun and not studying hard still remain unchanged. In order to better educate their children, Teng Daiyuan and his wife decided to send Jiuguang to the Secretary's hometown, a mountainous rural area for exercise. Without his parents, Jiuguang gradually strengthened his independence and made gratifying changes. The sweat of labor has changed his bad habit of playing, and his academic performance has gradually improved. In the summer and autumn of 1962, the Kuomintang authorities in Taiwan clamored to attack the mainland. Excited by the indignation of defending the motherland, Jiu Guang voluntarily gave up the opportunity to continue his studies and signed up to join the army to become a glorious Navy soldier. In the summer of 1964, Teng Daiyuan's third son, Jiu Ming, graduated from high school and was studying hard to take part in the college entrance examination. Jiuming wants to go to Harbin military engineering college. He is afraid that if he fails in the exam, he won't be accepted. He asks Teng Daiyuan to write a letter to his old subordinates. After hearing this, Teng Daiyuan flatly refused. Later, through his hard work, Jiuming was admitted to Harbin military engineering college. A few days before Jiuming was ready to go to university, Teng Daiyuan wrote a letter to his son. In the letter, he also copied some sentences from the long poem "Shi Danhuai tells Haosu, Xiao Lu and Xiao Shan" written by Chen Yi when he sent his son to university in July 1961 to encourage his son. Jiuming lived up to his father's ardent expectations, and later graduated with excellent results. Later, he became company commander and won the third class merit in border operations. After the "Cultural Revolution" broke out, the school stopped classes. With the support of his father, Teng Daiyuan's fourth son, Jiu Geng, came to Baiyangdian and Langyashan to receive further education from the poor and lower middle peasants. It was not until the end of 1967 that he returned to Beijing and then signed up to join the army. On the day when Jiugeng left home, Teng Daiyuan checked his children's luggage again and again, and gave Jiugeng a four volume bound edition of Lei Feng's diary and selected works of Mao Zedong. He told his son: when he arrived in the army, he must study Chairman Mao's works hard, don't forget the difficulties of the revolutionary predecessors in starting a business, learn from the workers and peasants, and be a good soldier like Lei Feng. With the passion and heroism of building the frontier of the motherland and the yearning for military life, Jiugeng happily bid farewell to his parents and began a new life. Later, he wrote to his family to report his work and study in the army. In the letter, he expressed his complaint. Teng Daiyuan quickly wrote back a letter to Jiugeng, asking his son to "endure great hardships, endure great labor, and develop a fighting style.". With his father's care and encouragement, he soon joined the Communist Party of China, and later he proposed to do something. Teng Daiyuan also warned him in his letter that promotion is an updated task for you in the organization. You should do better than before and be an ordinary soldier. Because of the need of work, Jiugeng's work changed several places. However, no matter where he went, he always kept in mind his father's instruction and worked harder. He was successively rated as a "Lei Feng type good cadre" by the Party committee of the science, technology and Industry Commission for national defense and the Navy. Jiugeng transferred from the army to Guangdong Yuehai petrochemical storage and transportation company, and was elected a deputy to the Fifth National People's Congress. His youngest son Jiuxin was born in Beijing in 1951. However, when the child just turned 16 years old, Teng Daiyuan supported the child to jump the queue and settle down in Inner Mongolia grassland. The school sent the registration form, and Jiuxin asked her father to review it. Teng Daiyuan picked up the brush and wrote down the eight words "fully agree, firmly support" in the parents' comments column. When Jiuxin was in the frontier, Teng Daiyuan and his wife often wrote to encourage Jiuxin to take root in the grassland and take good exercise. In 1970, Jiuxin joined the army and became a railway soldier. On the afternoon of November 30, 1974, when Teng Daiyuan, who was seriously ill and hospitalized, was dying, he talked excitedly with an old comrade who came to see him for more than two hours. The white paper on the tea table was filled with pencil words, some names and place names. Jiuxin listened attentively. In the evening, Lin Yi came to the hospital. Teng Daiyuan is still very emotional. Unfortunately, his family can't understand him. Later, he picked up his pencil and wrote something repeatedly on the paper, but his family couldn't understand what it was. Lin Yi comforted him not to worry and wrote slowly. Tengdai
