Some people are destined to have an extraordinary life from birth.
For example, Wang Hongwen's daughter Wang Yaping.
Her father, Wang Hongwen, who had made a big mistake and caused great losses to the motherland and the people, was later sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life.
Wang Yaping went directly from heaven to hell, but she played a bad card in her hand and played a wonderful life.
In the 1960s, in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, Wang Yaping and her mother, two younger brothers, lived quietly.
His father, Wang Hongwen, was very busy, and every time he came home, he also left in a hurry. As a child, Wang Yaping did not perceive anything different from others in her life. She has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and every day in addition to going to school, she helps her mother to take care of her two younger brothers and do housework, and becomes her mother's powerful little helper.
For Wang Yaping, the change was sudden.
One day when she came home from school, she found her mother crying. Seeing her return, her mother took her in her arms and choked up, saying, "From now on, our home will depend on the two of us." "She didn't know what was going on, she just comforted her mother.
Soon, she learned that her father had been arrested. Walking down the street, she saw that her father had become the object of everyone's shouting and beating, and as a daughter, she was snubbed and blinded in that context.
One afternoon, Wang Yaping returned home and silently put away all the foreign masterpieces she usually liked to read. When the mother Cui Gendi saw this situation of her daughter, she comforted her: "Child, we are no different from others. With the encouragement of her mother, Wang Yaping regained her strength.
As she grew older, Wang Yaping learned of her father's crimes, but did not produce a trace of resentment. In 1992, his father, Wang Hongwen, died of liver cancer. After arranging her father's affairs, her mother took the family to Shanghai to live, and Wang Yaping, who received a good education since childhood, secretly made up her mind that she would never follow in her father's footsteps.
After graduating from high school, Wang Yaping entered the factory to work. The special status made her life tremble with fear. Although life in Shanghai is not rich, the peaceful life makes Wang Yaping feel the warmth of the family, and she works hard to support the family.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up blew into Shanghai.
A chance. Wang Yaping saw that some people resigned and went to the sea to do business, and she was also moved. But at that time, she did not have the conditions to go to sea to do business. One is that there is no money, and the other is because of his special family background. And once the business fails, the lives of her mother and two younger brothers are not guaranteed.
The mother saw her concerns, she could not bear her daughter carrying the burden of her father, will live a lifetime, so she took out her years of savings, encouraging her daughter to boldly pursue her new life.
With the support of her mother, Wang Yaping quit her job and entered the commercial sea.
At that time, the market was full of flowers, and she did not blindly follow the trend. Wang Yaping first did sufficient market research, and finally targeted the liquor industry. Because she found that although the price of liquor on the market is expensive, there are very few high-quality liquors.
After the industry was selected, she set out to grasp quality, because she knew that quality was the soul of the product. To this end, she personally practiced, from the raw materials for brewing liquor to the processing process to the sales link, everything was strictly controlled by herself. Doing a line, loving a line, and specializing in a line has become Wang Yaping's style of doing things.
In the end, the brand "Lao Ye Ye" wine she created swept the country and won the recognition and respect of high-end customers in the political and business circles. Gradually, "Laozi" liquor has not only become a high-end consumer product, but also a symbol of status and status.
Wang Yaping's business is booming, and she has become a rich man in Shanghai with a value of tens of millions. She already owns a number of properties in the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and is lucky enough to meet her husband, who is also a businessman.
The two people are like-minded, and their lives after marriage are very happy.
The success of her career has allowed her to regain her self-confidence, and she is gradually free from the trauma brought to her by her original family.
In the late 1990s, the tide of immigration was like inserting a thermometer of boiling water, and the heat remained high. "The moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China, and the air in the United States is sweet", the voice of the admiration of the foreign country gradually prevailed, and many people were happy to go forward for a green card.
At that time, the domestic economic growth was too fast, the competition in many industries was very fierce, and Wang Yaping's liquor business was also greatly impacted. At this time, a friend suggested to her that it would be better to immigrate to the United States. Because of the many welfare policies that immigrants to the United States could enjoy at that time, her business may have ushered in another peak.
Even Wang Yaping's husband was moved by such a proposal, but Wang Yaping flatly refused for one reason: I was Chinese.
Later, another authoritative American organization threw an olive branch to Wang Yaping, hoping that she would immigrate to the United States and therefore provide her with many superior conditions.
In the face of such temptations, Wang Yaping said:
"Everything I have is given by my own motherland, maybe China is not as good as the Development of the United States, but this is my hometown, I will always stay in China and dedicate my life to my motherland."
Wang Yaping's patriotic feelings have made many people who were once prejudiced against her ashamed. Because even they, faced with such a choice, could not be as firm as Wang Yaping.
Wang Yaping's growth path, because her father became very bumpy. But she chose to let go of her father and let herself go.
And from that moment on, patriotism became her highest faith. She could not control and redeem the historical tragedy of the past, but she held on to her patriotic feelings.
Especially after starting to do business, Wang Yaping more deeply realized how much support the state gave her, she felt fairness and hope, felt the support and love of all the people of the national team, and she loved her motherland. She also wants to repay her country.
In addition to running her own liquor business, Wang Yaping has also participated in many charity activities in China. Unlike those who want to make a name for themselves under the guise of charity, Wang Yaping has never said these things in public, because this is her heartfelt act and does not need outside praise and eyes.
Over the years, the amount of money she has invested in philanthropy has been staggering, low-key but huge. Wang Yaping, who refused a green card, knows better than anyone what it means to stick to it: science has no borders, but scientists do. Commerce has no borders, but merchants do, and she holds fast to her inner beliefs.
Recently, at Mr. Wei Dongming's concert, everyone saw Wang Yaping again, although she is almost ancient, she is approachable, and her eyes are firm and calm.
Seeing her, I can't help but think of what Hillary Clinton once said in the United States:
China will go poor in the future, because China's rich and celebrities like to immigrate, and most of China's money is concentrated in the hands of these people, and their immigrants will hollow out China.
And Wang Yaping hit her in the face with her own actions, and she has been living soberly after experiencing ups and downs.
Although Wang Yaping grew up in a complicated family, no matter in school, on the street, in the factory, the state did not treat her differently, so that she could stand at the cusp of the times without fear of the eyes of others, do what she liked, and take the road she wanted to go.
Fathers and fathers rise and fall at any time, and children rise and fall.
We were born in a proud country, a fair and just society. Regardless of background, past and status, as long as a person has a family and a nationality in his heart, he is a patriot.
Wang Yaping is not humble in adversity, not in a good situation, and strives to become an ordinary person in a complex background, and has formed her own high-standard character in ordinary life.
Patriotism does not need a reason, give praise to those who are loyal to the motherland!
