Storms washed the North China Plain. The lightning bolts were as tight as one after another, eager to split the entire sky in half. On the dirt road of Shengfo Town, Yanshan, Cangzhou, Hebei Province, a father and son walked in the wind and rain. The father carried a shovel to clear the mud and obstacles for his son, and the son carried a schoolbag, and from the moment he walked out of the house, the son gritted his teeth and followed his father's back, wading through the "cement road" mixed with water and soil with difficulty. After waiting for the embankment, the father wiped the rain and sweat from his face and said to his son: "Son, I can only send it here, and you can go the rest of the way by yourself......
Since then, his son has worked from primary school to middle school, then joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy, then studied at the Department of Oriental Languages of Peking University in 1974, and worked as a translator in Iraq in 1979. He walked his own way, step by step. Over the years, he has embarked on a bright and brilliant path. He is now the well-known General Zhang Zhaozhong.
Zhang Zhaozhong was transferred to the National Defense University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1998 and promoted to the rank of general in the same year; In 2001, he graduated from the National Defence Refresher Course at the Royal Academy of Military Sciences. In 2003, he was awarded the "Top Ten Popular Science News Figures" in the science and technology industry; Former deputy director and professor of the Department of Military Logistics and Military Science and Technology of the National Defense University of China, and doctoral supervisor of military strategy.
Zhang Zhaozhong's research interests include military strategy, national defense construction, international laws and regulations, science and technology, weapons and equipment, and joint operations. He has published hundreds of papers, including "How Far Is War from Us - Zhang Zhaozhong's Comments on the Military Revolution", "Who Is the Next Target", "Weapons Knowledge Base", "The Impact of the Future Marine Century" ....... Zhang Zhaozhong retired in 2015, he retired without retiring, and is now active on the public screen, "Zhang Zhaozhong Talks", "Bureau Seat Talks about Figures", "Zhang Zhaozhong Says" and so on. He tells the truth, tells new things, dares to laugh at himself, is firm and confident, and his content is really down-to-earth, which makes the audience refreshed. He has more than a million followers on the Internet.
General Zhang's image is kind and simple, honest and generous. His language is popular, easy to understand, and universal. From his speeches, articles, and conversations, it is not difficult to see that he is not only a mighty general who worries about the country and the people and serves the country loyally, but also a humble gentleman who has read more than 10,000 books and has a lot of thoughts, and an outstanding scholar and expert who combines theory and practice, and he is also a "househusband" in the kitchen under the hall, and his wife was born in a noble family (his father was at the ministerial level), and he was the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Basic Medical Sciences of Peking University. In addition to writing and going out to make speeches and reports, Zhang Zhaozhong put on an apron and took on the heavy responsibility of frying and frying the whole family, and was responsible for the family's diet and housework.
Zhang Zhaozhong is also a farmer, and his ancestors have been farmers. He was in the countryside for 18 years, and it was not until he graduated from Peking University after joining the army that he really left the countryside. After graduating from university in 1978, they got married. His wife entered Beijing when he was 11 years old, and when he got married, Zhang Zhaozhong proposed to go back to the countryside to hold a wedding. My wife was very unfamiliar with the countryside and felt very fresh, so she readily agreed. She didn't know that she took a train from Beijing to Cangzhou, and she had to take a car to the county seat, and then take the second class, the newlywed wife saw the second class for the first time, knew what it was called "second class", and experienced the taste of sitting on the second class, until she entered the house and sat on the earthen kang, she realized that the countryside was poor, backward and closed at that time, but his wife never complained and never regretted marrying Zhang Zhaozhong. In the second year of marriage, she gave birth to her son Zhang Wei.
Now, Zhang Zhaozhong is an out-and-out Internet celebrity. His research became more and more fruitful, and his fame grew. There was an endless stream of people looking for him to give reports, give speeches, and participate in various activities, but General Zhang always appeared in the public eye as an ordinary veteran. He was never pretentious and unassuming. Be modest and prudent, not arrogant or rash, and maintain a good military style and a glorious image of a Communist Party member. Once, the leaders of Beijing University of Technology warmly invited Zhang Zhaozhong to give a report to the teachers and students of the school. The school leader said to him: Beijing University of Technology must be very strange to the general. Zhang Zhaozhong smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "Actually, I am very familiar with your university, because my son is studying in your university!" Everyone present was stunned.
Zhang Zhaozhong often taught his son to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and not to rely on his father's thoughts and use his father's reputation to swagger around. In fact, his son's whole class and all the classmates in the dormitory were all fans of Zhang Zhaozhong, but he never knew that Zhang Wei was Zhang Zhaozhong's son. Zhang Zhaozhong often said that parents are their children's first teachers and should be the best teachers. Zhang Wei is such a decent, upright, and upright good father and good teacher, that he will be confident and self-reliant, and realize his life values and dreams.
It is precisely because General Zhang Zhaozhong has a strong ability of self-confidence and self-improvement that he has come to today's glamorous world. In 1974, he was admitted to Peking University, and according to the current statement, he was purely a "Beipiao family", born as a farmer, with no background, no resources, and no connections. After graduating from university, he relied entirely on his own hard work to break out of a broad world of his own field.
General Zhang Zhaozhong is still working hard and continues to do his learning. He said that he always wrote in an office of less than 15 square meters (maybe only 13 square meters), and that he never wrote in the spacious general's office assigned to him, in which he would feel that he could not write. This is the ideological realm of a well-known, or even well-known general at home and abroad, who only talks about dedication and does not talk about comfort and enjoyment, this is a great and ordinary general.
