Chapter 51 filial piety

Fu Sinian is filial to his mother.He lost his father at an early age and was raised by his mother and grandfather.Fu Sinian, known as the "Cannon", is usually domineering and doesn't take anyone seriously, but whenever his mother loses his temper, he immediately kneels down and lets his mother scold him. . Because Fu Sinian's mother suffers from high blood pressure and avoids eating pork, Yu Dacai dare not feed her meat because of her mother's health.But Fu's mother loves to eat fat meat very much, so conflicts are inevitable.Yu Dacai once recalled: Meng Zhen served his mother with the utmost filial piety, and he also loved and cared for his children and nephews.Mrs. Tai is fat, and because she suffers from high blood pressure, she should not eat fat meat.I remember how many times I offended my aunt because I didn't dare to eat fat, and when Mrs. Tai got angry, Meng Zhenzhe couldn't kneel down.He whispered to me: "In the future, you can give your mother a little bit of fat. You must know that for people suffering from high blood pressure, controlling emotions is more important than avoiding food. My mother is old and has no hobbies but love Eating meat, let her eat a little, isn't it better than making her angry? I'm not blaming you, but thinking of my mother, who has gone through so much hardship and brought up my two brothers, I just want to make the old man happy and show filial piety."

Fu Sinian's mother followed her son to live in Nanjing.After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Sinian had no time to take care of his family because he was in charge of the relocation of the Academia Sinica, so he entrusted a subordinate and two nephews to protect his mother and move her to He County, Anhui Province temporarily.After the fall of Nanjing, Fu Sinian moved to Chongqing.Soon after the two nephews came to see them, Fu Sinian was very happy that his family had escaped safely, but when the nephew told that his grandmother hadn't escaped, Fu Sinian was furious, slapped the nephew twice on the spot, and kicked each other twice.Afterwards, he did everything possible to get his mother to be taken out of Anhui, which was plagued by wars, and fled to Hankou by land for more than 20 days, and finally arrived in Changsha.At that time, the old lady was more than seventy years old. Every time Fu Sinian talked about his mother's escape, he always felt guilty. He once said to his colleagues: "Fortunately, my mother was able to go to the rear safely. Otherwise, how would I face my ancestors?" Later, Shi Yu From Changsha to Kunming, Fu Sinian took his mother to Chongqing and placed her in a safer place under Gele Mountain, where she lived with her younger brother Fu Syan (Meng Bo). Fu Sinian paid all the expenses.

Fu's mother was obese and old. In order to avoid the exhaustion of the war, once she settled down, she fell ill, sometimes bad and sometimes serious, and finally died in the hospital.According to Zhu Zhonghui, who has been serving in the ward, after the old lady of the Fu family died of illness, Fu Sinian did not know the condition, and the hospital experts could not come up with a definite conclusion. Therefore, the two sides quarreled and argued endlessly. Finally, the hospital proposed an autopsy to verify The key to the disease.Fu Sinian hesitated again and again, and finally agreed to an autopsy, which turned out to be gallstones.This shows how backward and bad the medical equipment and medical technology of China's number one hospital were at that time.

When Fu's mother passed away, Fu Sinian was still ill, so his wife Yu Dacai could only ask his brother Yu Dawei, who was then director of the Military Industry Department of the Nationalist Government, to send someone to take care of the funeral.The cemetery was chosen on the top of a small hill next to the office of the Institute of Mathematics of the Academia Sinica near Gele Mountain. Personnel from the Ordnance Industry Department drilled a hole in the rock. During the burial, a crane was used to put the coffin in, and the prefabricated board with a thickness of seven or eight inches was made of cement Blocks were hoisted by a crane to cover the tomb, and the whole looked like a bunker used in war, extremely strong.Fu Sinian wrote to Hu Shi and said: "My mother was buried in a beautiful place in Gele Mountain, and it was made into a concrete wall, which is very strong." However, Fu Sinian never expected that in 1966 after his death, his mother's tomb would be used as a grave. The dens of the "landlord witch" and "the backstage boss of Jiang's secret agents" were blown up by the Red Guards and rebels with explosives, and their bones were thrown away.It is said that after Fu's mother's human skull was exhibited by a young revolutionary general as a glorious victory, it was poured with foreign oil, hung on a big tree and lit with a sky lantern.
