Chapter 34 warm family

Ren Zhengfei has a warm family of blood relatives, where he has the love of his parents and the selfless help of his brothers and sisters.With this warm home, he found a haven for his tired heart after struggling in the mall. Said: "Father gave birth to me, mother gave birth to me, raised me, nurtured me, took care of me." There is nothing more unforgettable than the love of parents. Traditional Chinese people have a strong sense of family, and filial piety is the main thread that maintains traditional Chinese social ethics.It goes: "Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence!" "When a disciple enters, he is filial, and when he leaves, he is fraternal." In China, children are the continuation of their parents' lives, and parents dedicate selfless love to their children.The father is kind and the son is filial, the sheep have the kindness of kneeling and breastfeeding, the crow has the filial piety of feeding back, a warm family finds a harbor for an unsteady heart.

The difficult years of the "Cultural Revolution" finally came to an end, and my father finally waited for liberation. In 1984, my father retired at the age of 75.In the early days of the business, parents lived a hard life in order to save money.After vicissitudes, before he had time to enjoy the blessings, his father quietly left. In 1995, my father bought a package of soft drinks from a small stall on the streets of Kunming. Due to poor fresh-keeping equipment and poor resistance of the elderly, he suffered from diarrhea after drinking and finally died of systemic failure. In 2001, Ren Zhengfei went abroad with then-Vice President Hu Jintao for a visit. Right after the visit, he received a call from the company that his mother had been in a car accident.He hurried to Kunming overnight, seeing his mother lying on the hospital bed, dying and waiting for Pan'er to return, his heart was broken.

The successive deaths of his parents left Ren Zhengfei with infinite regret.In the past, I was often either busy or on a business trip, and missed the opportunity to accompany my parents time and time again.Parents look forward to the stars and the moon, but they just don't see their son coming back.It's a pity that life is too short, they couldn't wait that long, and passed away one after another, leaving Ren Zhengfei, who has not fulfilled his filial piety, with lifelong regret. The love of parents is the most selfless, they will not care about anything with their children.My mother often calls and chatters with him: "You are on a business trip again", "Your body is not as good as mine", "You have more wrinkles than my mother", "Your walking is not as good as mine." Well, you are so sick at such a young age", "Feifei, diabetes, you have attended too many banquets, the disease will get worse faster, and your heart is not good"... What a strong family relationship behind this nagging !Before the mother died, she gave a sum of money to her sister, saying that it was waiting for her son to use it urgently.

Ren Zhengfei felt very guilty about the departure of his parents because he did not fulfill the filial piety of his children.He wrote something like this: "After Huawei has grown to a large scale, the pressure of management transformation is very huge. Not only can I not take care of my parents, but I can't even take care of myself. My body is also exhausted during that period of time. My parents at this time Then I moved to Kunming to live with my sister. I also understood that if there is struggle, there will be sacrifice. The success of Huawei has deprived me of the opportunity and responsibility to honor my parents, and I have also sacrificed my health.

"Looking back at the history I have gone through and asking myself, I have never been ashamed of my motherland, my people, my career and employees, and my friends. The only thing I am ashamed of is my parents. I didn't take care of them when I had no conditions. Didn't take care of them either. "Mom and Dad, thousands of voices are calling for you, and thousands of voices can't call you back." The deepest pain in the world is the departure of relatives. Ren Zhengfei experienced the death of his parents and was in great pain. He wrote "My Father and Mother" with tears and bitterness to pay tribute to his parents.

In the minds of Chinese traditional scholar-bureaucrats, meritorious service, reputation, and morality are their greatest pursuits; blood lineage and fame are their greatest wishes.Therefore, the writer wrote to tell his children.Mao Zedong's education for his children was ingenious.He sent Mao Anying and Mao Anying to study at Moscow University.After Mao Anying returned to China, he was sent to the countryside to work in the fields. He even changed the surnames of his two daughters to Li.He taught the children to be down-to-earth, self-reliant, and constantly improving. Ren Zhengfei also has a set of tutors.

Due to busy work, I don't have time to take care of children.Ren Zhengfei asked Zheng Bao to be Ren Ping's teacher when his son Ren Ping was very young.Many years later, Zheng Baoyong still has a fresh memory of that experience: Ren Ping was very naughty at that time and often caused trouble outside.Therefore, in addition to positive persuasion and education, Zheng Baoyong can even use his belt to "speak". Most of the people around him doted on him openly or secretly. For Ren Ping’s future, Ren Zhengfei sent him to the University of Science and Technology of China in 1994 to study with the students of the University’s junior class.

Why choose USTC instead of Peking University, Tsinghua University, or Huazhong University of Science and Technology, which has trained a large number of Huawei executives, including Zheng Baoyong and Li Yinan?This mystery was revealed in 1997 when Ren Zhengfei met with the visiting president of Huazhong University of Science and Technology Yang Shuzi.When talking about the education of Chinese universities, Ren Zhengfei made a comparison between HKUST and Huazhong University of Technology.He believes that with the development of the market economy and the improvement of material living standards, most students in Chinese universities generally lack the hard-working spirit of "hanging beams and stabbing stocks".Only in HKUST, not only are the classrooms brightly lit at night, but you can often see students who can't occupy a seat reading under the street lights.From this, he sighed: "China is so big that only the University of Science and Technology can accommodate a peaceful desk."

After Ren Ping went to Hefei to study, Ren Zhengfei did not neglect his education. In 1997, Ren Zhengfei learned that Ren Ping often borrowed vehicles from Huawei's Hefei office. He immediately called Xu Zhijun, then vice president of the marketing department, and Liu Jingqing, director of the Hefei office.He also wrote instructions to the Human Resources Department: "Hefei Office Director XX, if you lend Ren Ping the office's car in the future, I will punish you. You can't do him any favors in Hefei." In addition, Ren Zhengfei would communicate with the teachers of the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China almost every year during his visits to Huawei's Hefei office to learn about his son's study and life, and asked all teachers to be as strict with Ren Ping as they are with other students.

After 2000, Ren Ping went to the UK to study for an MBA. When he came back from the holidays to gather with friends, he occasionally complained about his father’s strict discipline: many Chinese students who studied with him in the UK had “family backgrounds”. In life, "spending money like water" means winning or losing tens of thousands of pounds a day in casinos. Many people have become VIP customers of local casinos and banks, and they have special Rolls Royce to pick them up.He looked much more shabby, and even foreign car insurance was unbearably expensive. Ren Zhengfei's daughter and younger sister work at Huawei and both changed their names.My daughter graduated from a famous university with a master's degree, and several other relatives have a bachelor's degree or above. They have no privileges in Huawei and have a very good reputation.They are low-key and unassuming.From them, we can see the influence of Ren Zhengfei.

Ren Zhengfei has taught his relatives by his own words and deeds, to be down-to-earth, not to show off, and to rely on his own efforts to develop himself.
