Men's braiding was originally a Manchu costume. After the Manchu ruling class occupied all of China, they forced all the men in the country to braid their hair to show their obedience. Otherwise, it will be regarded as "rebellion" and beheaded. Editing and distributing caused an uproar in the history of China. In the late Qing Dynasty, revolutionaries first cut off their braids. Therefore, whether to cut off such a small plait became a question of whether the revolution was a revolution at that time.
At that time, Gao Yiwu, a history and geography teacher from Shandong, was a progressive intellectual with nationalist ideas in the Dongguan model middle school run by Fengtian. During his stay in Xuan Tong (the title of Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty), when the revolution failed, he cut off his braid to show his hatred for the great powers and the decadent Qing government.
19 1 1 year, Enlai entered the second-class model primary school in Dongguan and was directly educated by Gao Yiwu. Teacher Gao often preaches the patriotic heroic deeds of revolutionary volunteers passionately and generously in class, and publicizes patriotic thoughts. The students are very excited. Once he told Enlai and his classmates the story of 72 martyrs who died heroically because of the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising on April 27th,191. He spoke tragically and fiercely. When he heard this, his heart surged and he burst into tears. Teacher Gao often introduces revolutionary books to his classmates at that time. I read "Revolutionary Army" recommended by Mr. Gao, and was deeply moved by this book written by Zou Rong, a bourgeois revolutionary at the age of 19. Young and elegant, strong and brave, determined to save the country and the people; Devote one's life to the revolution.
In October of this year, the Revolution of 1911 led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen succeeded, overthrew the Qing court and established the Republic of China. After the news reached Shenyang, the school immediately boiled. Amid cheers, young Zhou Enlai quickly found scissors and cut off the braid symbolizing slavery and humiliation. He was the first student in school to cut his braid, which was a great event at that time.
In the past, the school advocated Confucius's "learning to be an official" and did not advocate labor. Therefore, cleaning the classroom and burning the stove are all "humble" things for the class servants. Zhou Enlai felt very tired when he saw the servants working all day. Out of deep sympathy for the working people, he always comes to school early every day and takes the initiative to clean the classroom (this is his help for the old class children to clean the classroom). An old man who burns a tea stove is ill. After he knew it, he gave all the eight coppers he had saved at ordinary times to the old man to buy medicine to cure the disease. The old man who has experienced the sufferings of the world knows that Zhou Enlai is very cautious in spending money and thrifty in three meals a day. Zhou Enlai gave him eight coppers. He was speechless and his eyes were full of tears.
Many students have their own unique ideas, but they dare not express their opinions in the face of the ideas of teachers and classmates. In fact, your idea may be the best answer.
Comrade Zhou Enlai was a patriot when he was a teenager. He is full of love for the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland and has a beautiful vision for the future motherland. In a painting class, the teacher took a landscape painting he had drawn and posted it on the blackboard for the students to copy. As a result, all the students drew it. Only Zhou Enlai painted many neat trees on the bare mountain. After seeing it, the teacher asked him strangely, "Why did you draw some trees?" Why not draw as usual? "He replied cheerfully," There should be trees on such a big mountain. Unfortunately, there are no trees. What's wrong with planting it a little? "Inspired by Zhou Enlai's beautiful yearning to transform society and nature, the teacher turned anger into joy and stared at the handsome and resolute Zhou Enlai, leaving for a long time. Later, he sighed and said, "He is not my student, but actually my husband! "
