As the saying goes, "a big tree opens branches, and a child divides a family." In rural areas, siblings will continue to live in a separate family after marriage in order to develop and manage the family population. However, in the Suining County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Guanmiao Village Wangzhuang Group there is a big family of four generations, a family of 33 people have been living together, planting together, eating together, solidarity never quarrel with each other, become a famous harmonious family.
In late August 2016, the program team of My Father and Mother from CCTV Old Story Channel came to Wangzhuang Group of Guanmiao Village and walked into this warm family.
After entering the village, I saw a white two-story building. I walked into a row of bungalows in the east of the yard. There was a tractor in the middle of the yard, and I opened the back door to see a piece of farmland. According to Wang Dungang, this is the home of his eldest brother, Wang Dunchao. After his father's death, this place became the stronghold of the old Wang family. The weekly family banquet will be held here as scheduled, especially during the holidays.
In daily life, although those who work and go to school in other places can not often go home, their hearts are closely together. There are 33 people in the Wang family, but they have never been separated. Speaking of the secret of not being separated for decades, Wang Dungang told the reporter: "In fact, there is a kind of centripetal force in their big family, and this centripetal force comes from the positive energy brought by their father." It is said that the family is the first teacher of a child, and this is especially true in the Wang family. Wang Dungang said that his father always said, "Do not do good but do not do evil." For each of them, the father's words and examples are the most valuable spiritual wealth. From their beginning to babble to grow up, father often taught them to help others, education between future generations to live in harmony, home and everything is prosperous, it is under the guidance of this spirit, the old Wang family of 33 people get along well, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, sister-in-law never red face, what things are like mother and daughter, sisters to discuss together to solve.
At work, this family is also a good continuation of the father's spirit. According to Wang Dungang, "My father was a veteran party member and party secretary. During more than 30 years of working for the village, he was always diligent and conscientious in his work. He treated the people like his own family and often told them to do more for the people and do practical things." Under his father's influence, some of his descendants became doctors, traffic police, and village officials, and most of them chose to serve the people.
My father died of overwork in 2010. After his father left, the eldest son Wang Dunchao became the backbone of the family. He always remembered his father's instructions: to honor his mother, respect the old and love the young, unite brothers and sisters, and help neighbors and villagers. At the same time, he always with a grateful heart to run the big family, he often said: thousands of years to the same boat, ten thousand years to the same parents, to cherish and love them more." It is said that the elder brother is like the father, the eldest son of the family Wang Dunchao took over the baton from his father, not only the old Wang family this big family care in good order, but also to his father as an example, continue to serve for his father for the village people, as the village secretary during the period, efforts for the party and the government to share the worries, for the masses to solve the difficulties.
The second brother Wang Dungang, driven by his brother, started his own business to make money, but also focused on letting the villagers live a good life. He has built roads, Bridges, village departments and village health centers with his own money. Wang Dungang said: "Cover village ministry because father as village party secretary cover village ministry was later secretary credit to others, the village party cadres have no place of activity, there is no office, in order to solve this problem, he invested in Guanmiao village two in the old site built a two-story building, a floor ready to improve the original village sanitary conditions, the second floor as the village office use. The appearance of this two-storey floor completely solved the Guanmiao village without village department. After the construction of the village headquarters, there was still a river across the village. In order to facilitate the villagers' travel, he built a bridge by himself and invested nearly 800,000 yuan." When he talks about why he does these things, Wang Dungang always says, "This is the place where I was born and raised. I have the duty to return the land that raised me!" What they did brought benefits to the people and warmed their hearts at the same time.
All the nearby villagers interviewed said that their family's spirit of not giving up when experiencing poverty, not making public when facing a happy life, and not anxious are examples for them to learn from. Under their influence, the harmonious coexistence between neighbors and mutual help between families is the best witness of civilization and harmony in the construction of a new socialist countryside.
