Chapter 872 Father’s Life
An An found many letters left by her father in his drawer.
It contains many interesting stories from her childhood, such as when the teacher asked her to stand up and answer a question, what did she say?
For example, teachers in Shanghai will not recognize the homework assigned by teachers in Beijing.
There are also many pictures of her practicing Mantis Boxing as a child.
My father has always kept these memories, and only when he was old did he record them bit by bit.
This is his eldest daughter, the big brat who loves to play around since she was a child but is also extremely sensible.
An An looked at the letters written by her father, her eyes gradually became moist and tears could not stop flowing down.
Father, oh father, why did you leave before I had the chance to spend some leisure time with you in Nanshan?
Childhood memories suddenly came to mind, and An An could never forget what his father looked like when he was young.
Erya Chen Xinyi also squeezed over. She wanted to see what her father wrote to her.
When Chen Pingsheng was dying, his greatest pleasure every day was to write letters to his children, expressing his longing for them.
He must have written not only to An An, but also to Erya and Chen Lu.
Erya has been the little princess of the family since the moment she was born. She has never lived in a rental house like her sister.
Her personality since childhood was very different from that of ordinary people, but she was extremely talented and learned things quickly. Chen Pingsheng once thought that she was the best gift God had given him.
Chen Xinyi's growth process was not very eventful. The little princess from a wealthy family lived in the top circle since she was a child, and later she also engaged in financial investment, which she could easily manage.
You can't see any steady steps in her life. She only has top-notch talent and the dual blessing of a top-notch family background.
As for Chen Lu’s letter.
Chen Pingsheng first used the six-word mantra, "If a son is not well educated, it is the father's fault," to explain his regrets in his life.
Chen Lu was the child his wife insisted on having because the previous two were girls.
According to the ancient concept, girls are unable to carry on the family line and continue the family incense.
The older generation all wanted a boy, and the Chen family must also have a boy.
Chen Lu was born in such an environment where he was the center of attention. In his later growth process, although his talent was average, he had excellent character.
Chen Pingsheng always believed that before the age of 30, Chen Lu was a breath of fresh air among the rich second generation.
It’s just that the subsequent changes came unexpectedly, or perhaps they were already expected.
As the saying goes, father like father, son like son. When Chen Lu himself is unable to be the pride of his children, and is even less able to set a good example for them by setting a good example himself, his descendants will most likely grow up astray.
What happened later fully proved this point.
One of Chen Pingsheng's biggest regrets in his later years was that he failed to teach his only son well.
He did not lead him on the right path, and the most dazzling halo and title in Chen Lu's life was still just his son.
Throughout his life, he never proved himself once.
Chen Lu's subsequent growth process not only disappointed Chen Pingsheng, but also made Song Yanxi sigh before her death.
Their only son spent his whole life in mediocrity.
He failed to be a good husband, and even less fulfilled his responsibilities as a good father.
This is something neither he nor his wife Song Yanxi wants to see.
In his later years, Chen Pingsheng wrote a lot of works, including the story of how he met his wife.
He was very poor at that time. Every time school was on vacation, other children would go out to play, but he would run to the fields to catch fish and shrimp.
Just to save enough for the next tuition.
The appearance of Song Yanxi was like a ray of light in his life. She came running towards him and resolutely gave up the opportunity to go to college at the most beautiful age of her life and chose to marry him.
I also accompanied him to the north to live the most impoverished life.
Chen Pingsheng wanted to give her happiness all his life. When he passed away at the age of 100, he could finally say loudly, "I have lived up to my wife, and I have lived up to her years of companionship."
Whether it is An An, Erya Chen Xinyi, or Chen Lu.
In these letters left by my father, I can see the bitterness of his youth and the loneliness in his later years.
Father, oh father, you have used your life to perfectly interpret what it means to be a good father, a good husband, and a great entrepreneur who has a heart for the world.
The departure of Chen Pingsheng represents the decline of a brilliant era. Their era had stories of spring, reform and opening up, the Internet changing everyone's lives, and the post-real estate era that made most young people unable to afford or afraid to get married.
In short, this is a magnificent era.
Chen Pingsheng also used his life to embellish this era very well.
August 8, 2084.
Chen Pingsheng, the founder of Jingyan Island, the founder of the Shanghai Chen family, and the most famous and legendary entrepreneur in the country, passed away in an unknown village in the south.
He died at the age of 101.
An An transported her father back to Jingyan Island by air. Along the way, all cars stopped, horns honked across the city, and people thousands of miles away observed a moment of silence.
The legendary era of Chen Pingsheng may have ended, but his spirit will be preserved forever.
August 9, 2084.
An An announced that he would hold a nine-day funeral for his father on Jingyan Island, and would also give his father the national honor he deserved.
Just one hour after the announcement, super cruise ships and tourist boats in the sea docked nearby.
Just to make way for the sea for those who come to pay their respects.
If you do good things in your life, you will be admired by everyone after your death.
Chen Pingsheng used his life to interpret what the responsibility of a great entrepreneur is.
He also used his loneliness in his later years to awaken the Chen family, which is now known as the first tycoon in Shanghai.
…
A city in the south.
There are many ordinary elderly people gathered in the vegetable market. Some of them enjoy their ordinary life after retirement and even haggle over the price when buying two cilantro.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the sky above the city, and cars on the roadside honked their horns.
The hustle and bustle of the city and the feeling that something big is happening are etched in everyone's mind.
Countless people are asking: "What's going on?"
"What big thing happened? Why are all the cars on the road honking their horns?"
"It seems like someone important has died. Hurry up and watch TV."
The TV, which was just playing an idol drama, immediately jumped and interrupted with an urgent news.
"The founder of Tengying Group passed away in an unknown mountain village at the age of 101. The rest of the story is all about Chen Pingsheng's legendary experience and introduction."
The old man who was carrying a basket and haggling with the vegetable vendor, trying to get two cents off the price, was now in tears.
In fact, he had already achieved financial freedom a long time ago. He was also the college student son of a migrant worker. It was difficult for people like him to find a good job in their time.
It was Mr. Chen Pingsheng who stood up and said that we should not expect a newly graduated rural college student to be able to speak eloquently right away. We should give them time and, more importantly, opportunities.
In 2015, Mr. Chen Pingsheng, despite tremendous pressure, asked Tengying Group to recruit these students from rural areas.
We will also provide them with the best growth space and preferential treatment during their subsequent internships and work.
He spent his entire life saving tens of millions of rural students.
He also spent his entire life helping generations of migrant workers' sons.
Now that he is gone, the old man, regardless of the surprise of the people around him, rushed out of the vegetable market, took his son and daughter-in-law, and rushed to Jingyan Island as soon as possible.
And such scenes are happening all over the country.
It seems that all the transportation lines in the world are converging towards Jingyan Island.
