【Explanation】Recently, the theme activity of "Whampoa from Home and Country" was launched at the former site of Huangpu Military Academy in Guangzhou and Jinan University.
Zhou Bingde, the niece of Premier Zhou Enlai and former vice president of China News Agency, started a "cloud dialogue" with young people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Zhou Enlai, one of the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, once served as the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy.
As Zhou Enlai's niece and daughter of Zhou Enshou, a Whampoa Phase IV student, Zhou Bingde also had special feelings for "Whampoa". She recalled that before his uncle Zhou En came to the Whampoa Military Academy, the story of "grilled yellow croaker" was still fresh in her memory.

In the middle of (1924), his uncle received a notice from China asking him to come back from abroad and return to Guangzhou. He was very anxious to come back as soon as possible to participate in the actual revolutionary struggle in the country, and told him that it had been sent. He didn’t want to wait any longer for the travel expenses and sent the ferry tickets. He didn’t want to wait for the remittance, so he hurriedly borrowed some money from others. He didn’t have much money, so he borrowed a little money. He bought a particularly low-grade space, as long as he can get in, and he can get on the boat, so he came back with "grilled yellow croaker".
The three words "grilled yellow croaker" have a deep impression on me, that is, he is not afraid of hardship, how hot he is, being burnt, being grilled, and being sad. He doesn’t care about anything, just wants to get back as soon as possible. When I come to China, if I don't have any money, I have to use the lowest class space to return. This is quite impressive to me.

People say he is the busiest prime minister in the world, why?
He put his mind, time, energy, wisdom, and bravery on work.
He felt that he did too much work to achieve the goal he wanted to achieve. He wanted to bring so many tens of thousands of martyrs to the construction of New China. They sacrificed for the construction of New China, but they Originally, I hoped to be able to make contributions after the establishment of New China. He wanted to do it for them. Can you make it through, tens of thousands of martyrs, so you see how he is so busy, he just hopes To devote yourself to the country, you must contribute to the country.
[Explanation] Zhou Bingde lived with his uncle for a long time when he was young. The words and deeds of the elders are engraved in the hearts of the younger generations, and they are still shining today.

After my father was trained, he arranged a job for him. My uncle immediately found my father’s unit and told my father’s leadership that it was for Zhou Tongyu (an alias of Zhou Enshou). The job arrangement was lower and the salary was lower. , Because he is my own brother.
We are the Communist Party, and we serve the people of the whole country. We cannot be like the Kuomintang. They arrange their relatives by nepotism. This job is high and that position is high. This is not acceptable, let alone a feudal society where one person can win the way. The chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and all the family members are high-ranking officials and generous. That won't work. This is all we oppose and we want to defeat.
We are the Communist Party, and we must serve the people of the whole country and consider the people of the whole country. The family cannot be so high, and the family must be low, so it is depressing.
[Explanation] Whampoa Military Academy once had a couplet: "Please go another way when you get promoted and get rich. If you are greedy for life and fear of death, you will not enter the door."
Zhou Bingde has been able to recite casually.
The facilities of the Whampoa Military Academy were rudimentary, but it was from here that a large number of outstanding military talents came out and contributed to the founding of New China.

The Whampoa Military Academy is very simple, with dozens of people in a large room, and everything on the bed is very simple. These soldiers, regardless of whether they are the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, have been harsh and strict since they were young. The training and thrifty environment are cultivated in this way.
[Explanation] Zhou Bingde said that in the era when the Chinese nation is ushering in a great rejuvenation, young people now have a better stage of performance. The younger generation of Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan should connect more with each other, build bridges, and assume responsibilities.

At the same time, my uncle gave us many times of education. Now our country is hard-won, and now the new China is established, but the establishment of this new China, we are only survivors, and our decades of revolution are ready for possible sacrifices at any time.
We must not forget so many martyrs in the revolutionary ranks.
Thousands of martyrs, well-known and unknown, some we know, some are comrades-in-arms, some are friends, some are completely unknown, too many, too many, for the construction of New China.
For the establishment of New China, they were able to shed blood and sacrifice. They are no longer there. Not only can we not forget them, but we must also do for them the contributions they want to make for the establishment of New China. We can’t help but work hard. It is impossible not to do good things for the people wholeheartedly.
So I think young people, generations of young people, must know what the past was like, what kind of spirit, (the ancestors) their spiritual world is like.
