[Study Group Press]
The story about General Secretary Xi Jinping’s strong memory and unforgettable memory has been disclosed by the media many times in recent years.
In Liangjiahe, he recognized his childhood friend Liang Yaochun as soon as he got off the bus, and called him by his nickname “Chunwa”.
At the Military History Museum, when he saw a photo of an ordinary soldier, he immediately said, “I know this soldier”.
When he visited France, he was able to tell the writings of many famous people in French history in one breath.
“He is really a man with a heart!” While we were surprised and impressed, we were also curious about how such a good memory was made. This article in today’s panel will solve the mystery for all group members.
When Xi Jinping was working in Xiamen, Li Xiuji, who was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, recalled, “Comrade Jinping has a good memory, and on September 5, 2010, when he was the vice president of the state, he came to Xiamen to inspect and guide his work, and when he shook hands with me, he mentioned the three dishes he ate for his first meal in Xiamen.”
What is the story behind the “three dishes” that Xi Jinping still can’t forget more than 20 years later?
In mid-June 1985, when Xi Jinping arrived in Xiamen for his appointment, Li Xiuji took him to a room on the ground floor of Building 2 of the Xiamen Hotel, where Xi Jinping happily said, “Today has a double meaning for me, first I am here to participate in the construction of the Special Administrative Region, and second it is my birthday.” At dinner, according to the custom of Xiamen, there are also birthday noodles and eggs, but at that time, the conditions are limited, there is no cake, the meal that day there are sea oyster frying, fried noodles, asparagus jelly and some other specialties of Xiamen, sea oyster frying inside the egg, the birthday noodles with fried noodles instead.
Sea oyster fry, fried noodles, asparagus jelly, these three Xiamen specialties, to the 32-year-old Xi Jinping left a deep impression.
The company’s main business is the development of a new product, a new product for the company. The two walked hand in hand while chatting about family matters.
The 67-year-old villager Zhang Weipang happily recalled the scene of that day: “Xi Jinping immediately recognized me, Shi Chunyang, the team’s three-wheeled Liang Yujin, the captain of Shi Zhishan.” Zhang Weipang said that at that time Xi Jinping called out everyone’s nicknames in Yanchuan. “Everyone asked who was following him, and he said in the northern Shaanxi dialect, ‘This is my aunt-in-law.'” Zhang Weipang said Xi can still recall many things he did with them more than 40 years ago.
At the village history exhibition hall, he stood in front of that group photo back then and pointed out his partners one by one, calling out each one’s name and also learning about each one’s recent status.
In January 2015, Xi Jinping inspected a base of the former Second Artillery, and in front of the photos in the military history museum, he recognized an ordinary soldier at once and said, “I know this soldier.
This soldier is the former second artillery brigade technology battalion test company first-class sergeant Wang Zhongxin, is a missile measurement and control of the difficult professional “technical master”, but also a loud “King of soldiers”.
The last time Wang Zhongxin met with Xi Jinping was two years ago, on March 11, 2013, after attending the plenary session of the PLA delegation at the first session of the 12th National People’s Congress, when Xi Jinping received some of the grassroots deputies of the military, including Wang Zhongxin. Wang Zhongxin clearly remembered that Xi Jinping asked him very detailed questions, including his age and length of service. After listening to the report, Xi Jinping said at length, “The army construction needs more technical backbone of non-commissioned officers like you.”
During his work in Zhengding, Hebei, in the early 1980s, Xi Jinping had already demonstrated this “superb memory.
A group of experts studying social sciences came to Zhengding’s Big Buddha Temple, accompanied by Xi Jinping, the county party secretary, and others. Xi Jinping talked about the history of Zhengding – from the middle Neolithic period, the Spring and Autumn Period, Han Gaozu, the North and South Dynasties, and the changes from the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty to the present. The treatise on internal and external injuries and sensations, the treatise on spleen and stomach, and the secret collection of the Orchid Room.
Talking about Dafoji Temple, he is even more precious – the twenty-two-meter-high bronze cast Bodhisattva of Great Compassion, the remaining wind of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the first calligraphy of the early Tang Dynasty with the monument Longzang Temple Monument, the peculiar layout and shape, three-dimensional rich in change of the Mani Hall, and the colorful Guanyin in the temple, which is the treasure of China’s sculpture art loved by Lu Xun, and so on. The deputy governor of the division known as the “old Zhengding” and happy and surprised, happy, the young secretary in the history of Zhengding is no less knowledgeable than himself; scared, this Tsinghua University chemical engineering students hunting for professional knowledge outside the speed of too fast, aggressive miles!
Wang Jinshui, former deputy secretary of the Xiamen Municipal Committee, who worked with Xi Jinping for several years, said: “I know that he has a special ability to never forget …… I once asked him where this ability to never forget came from. He told me that it was forced out.”
“He told me that when he was secretary beside Comrade Geng Biao, he could not bring a notebook, and the instructions of Comrade Geng Biao during the meeting could not be recorded, but only by the head to remember. He often ran to the bathroom to secretly take notes, and then memorized, memorized and then burned. At that time, there was no cell phone, typewriters are also very primitive, a word has several numbers, all by heart. This is how he honed his memory.” Wang Jinshui recalled.
Xi Jinping, who is very fond of quoting scriptures when he speaks, has also talked about his reading stories many times on different occasions at home and abroad, and in March 2013, he talked in an interview, “I have many hobbies, and my biggest hobby is reading.” The love of reading is also an important reason for Xi’s “good memory”.
In Shanbei, Xi Jinping “gave himself a motto, starting with cultivating his body. I was ashamed of not knowing one thing, so I was thirsty for knowledge. When I went to the mountains to herd sheep, I carried a book, tethered the sheep to the hillside, and began to read. When I hoed to the field and started to rest for a while, I took out the Xinhua dictionary to remember the multiple meanings of a word, accumulating little by little. I don’t feel that the seven years in the countryside were wasted; a lot of the foundation of knowledge was laid down at that time.”
Tolstoy’s War and Peace, Sholokhov’s The Silent Don, Balzac’s The Human Comedy, and his particular favorite, Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables. “It is no exaggeration to say that I read all the literary classics I could find at that time.”
In Zhengding, the last of the lights to go out in the county office building was often the office of Xi Jinping, the county party secretary. Using the time after 11 p.m., he read a large number of books: “The Great Trend”, “Decisionology” to read, the trend in the eyes of the bourgeoisie and decision-making methods should be studied, the “British and French civil official system” may have lessons for the establishment of the organ post accountability system, “Six Chronicles of Floating Life” wonderful writing.
As well as “Zizhi Tongjian”, “Cotton and Wheat”, “Lincoln Biography”, “Modern Scientific Management”, “Zhou Yi”, “Computer Programming”, “The Analects of Confucius” …… and the county records, thick as a city brick wirebound book, is also used to chew through this time. So far, the surprise of the “old Zhengding” division deputy governor in the previous article can be explained.
In Fujian, Xi Jinping was even busier, and only on weekends could he occasionally find a little time to run to the Xinhua bookstore. Every year, the provincial people’s congress, Xinhua bookstore will be selling books in the conference hall, when the meeting is adjourned, you can often see him here.
Wang Jinshui, who had been a neighbor to Xi Jinping, recalled: once, when I ran into Peng Liyuan when I went to get dinner, I asked, “How come Jinping didn’t come to get dinner and let you do it?” Peng Liyuan said he had been reading a book in the middle of the night the day before and couldn’t get up in the morning. Jinping got ‘drunk’ when he saw the book.”
“Reading has become a way of life for me. Reading keeps one’s mind alive, enlightens one’s wisdom and nourishes one’s hugeness.” Xi Jinping said.
