"Study for the Rise of China"

Since childhood, Zhou Enlai has made an oath of "Study for the Rise of China" at the age of 12.

At the end of p>1911, Zhou Enlai attended Dongguan Model School in Shenyang. On this day, President Wei personally took a self-cultivation class for the students, entitled "Lifetime", which was a period of dramatic changes in China society. The Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen just overthrew the Qing government and ended China's two thousand years of feudal rule. Many people, especially chronologists, are confused, have no clear ideal pursuit, and have no goal in life. When the headmaster talks about "making a living", he tells the students how to aspire.

President Wei suddenly stopped talking about the wonderful year and asked the students a question: "Why do you study?"

The classroom was quiet, and no one answered.

"If no one answers, I will ask them one by one!"

President Wei stepped down from the podium, pointed to the front row and said, "Why are you studying?" The student stood up and said, "study to shine the lintel!" " "It is for the sake of glory." President Wei replied to the second student: study for courtesy. The third student who was asked was the son of a shopkeeper in a boot shop. He replied seriously, "I studied for my father." The students burst into laughter.

Not satisfied with these answers, he shook his head and stood in front of Zhou Enlai, asking, "Why are you studying?"

Zhou Enlai has a high prestige among students. Not long ago, the Revolution of 1911 was just successful, and he was the first among his classmates to cut off his long braid. This is not a simple thing, because the Manchu government stipulated that all Han Chinese men must wear long braids like Manchu people to show their loyalty to the Qing court, and they will be beheaded if they don't wear braids. Zhou Enlai was the first student to cut off his braid, so everyone admired him.

Zhou Enlai stood up. The classroom was quiet, and everyone was waiting for his answer. Zhou Enlai replied very solemnly: "Study for the rise of China!"

"study for the rise of China!" What a good answer! In a word, it expresses Zhou Enlai's great ambition of rejuvenating China since childhood.

President Wei didn't expect to have such outstanding students, so he was very happy. He motioned for Zhou Enlai to sit down, and then said to everyone: "Where there is a will, be a primary school student!" It means that ambitious young people should learn from Zhou Enlai!

Zhou Enlai's story-paying for meals three times

That was when Premier Zhou Enlai accompanied French President Pompidou to visit Hangzhou

Premier Zhou will leave Hangzhou this afternoon. After several days of hard work, Premier Zhou ordered his secretary to say, "At noon today, I'll invite everyone to have a light meal outside the building."

the manager, chef and waiter of the restaurant outside the building were very excited when they heard that Premier Zhou was coming to treat them. The waiter is busy cleaning the restaurant facing the West Lake, and the manager and chef are busy discussing the menu. At about 11 o'clock, Premier Zhou and his entourage strolled across the West Cold Bridge and strolled through Bai Causeway, and came to the building outside the building. During the dinner, he warmly clinked glasses with his entourage, thanking them for their hard work in completing the reception task, and introduced the famous dishes of Hangzhou to the comrades from Beijing one by one: this is the West Lake vinegar fish that was killed alive and burned alive, this is the fried prawn produced in the West Lake, and this is the beggar chicken, which is a rare West Lake delicacy for Beijingers. When Premier Zhou saw the waiter serving plates of his favorite hometown dishes, he raised chopsticks to taste them, and introduced them to everyone: "I haven't eaten hometown dishes for a long time, so let's try them. These are Shaoxing dried vegetables, steamed meat, bean sprouts and thousands of molds, which are delicious!" Everyone was in high spirits after eating.

after dinner, premier Zhou asked the secretary to settle the bill. Comrades in the province came out to stop and said, "There is no need for the Prime Minister to pay, but our place will reimburse you!" Premier Zhou listened and said, "I'll treat you today, and of course I'll pay for it!" " The store manager knew Premier Zhou's temper, and if he didn't accept money, the Premier would be angry, so he accepted 1 yuan's money. Unexpectedly, Premier Zhou refused, and immediately said to a waiter surnamed Jiang, "How can 1 yuan have enough money for these many dishes? Be sure to pay the full price. " The manager consulted with the chef and charged 5 yuan money. Unexpectedly, Premier Zhou saw it again and said angrily, "Whoever treats you to dinner will pay. When the Prime Minister treats you to dinner, you have to pay the same as ordinary customers! " The manager of the building outside the building had no choice but to accept 5 yuan's money again. This * * * received money from 2 yuan.

I don't know. An hour later, Jianqiao Airport called the manager of the building outside the building, saying that Premier Zhou left 1 yuan money to pay for the lunch before boarding the plane. The manager and staff of the building outside the building held the 3 yuan money, and they were deeply moved to tears by the spirit of honesty and integrity of the Prime Minister. After discussion, we only did what the Prime Minister told us to do, and immediately calculated the lunch meal that day carefully according to the quotation sheet, and the total amount was ***19 yuan 5 cents, which was the same as that of ordinary customers. We also wrote a detailed report to Premier Zhou, attached a list and extra 1 yuan 5 cents, and sent it to Premier Zhou's office in the State Council, Beijing.
