About the early years of Qing Daoguang, Zeng Zhaotu changed from a rural poor to a rich man. At that time, everyone said that Linzhou was rich.
After getting rich, "having money but not knowing how to enjoy happiness" is the evaluation of his fellow villagers. He still maintains the true colors of a laborer in the past, wearing a large-breasted homespun shirt, a big hat and sandals to go to work. It is the same at home, and it is the same when going out to the city.
In the 14th year of Daoguang (1834), the fund-raising for Zhoucheng overhaul initiated by Wang Yanhe of Qingzhou Palace began. After receiving the invitation, Zeng Zhaotu sent a representative of his late son Zeng Weiman to attend. Zeng Weiman's calligraphy "Zeng Zhaotu Pledges Five Thousand Pass" (contained in the unpublished Yulin Local Records Teaching) was pledged in the name of Zeng Chongguang. ) also said: even 5 thousand penetration, it is enough. This time, Zeng Zhaotu donated the most, and his meritorious service award was the greatest contribution.
Yulin Tower has been completed, with large scale, solid architecture and magnificent appearance, ranking first in the province except Guilin Imperial City. "Wanzhou is not as good as Yulin" is the praise of Guangdong people for Yulin city for more than 100 years. After many wars, it was this city wall that turned the corner, which the group called "the blessed land of Yulin City".
While praising Yulin City, I also praised Zeng Zhaotu for his generosity in overhauling Yulin City. It is said that "the wall from the south gate to the east gate was donated by Zeng Zhaotu", "the section from the south gate to the Bajiaolou via the east gate was donated by Zeng Zhaotu" and "the Wanshou Palace in the West Lake Pool was contracted by Zeng Zhaotu". Although it seems exaggerated, it is essentially a compliment to Zeng Zhaotu. But when Yu Linzhou published the story of Yu Lincheng in put in order, he made no mention of Zeng Zhaotu's achievements.
Zeng Zhaotu's anecdote is a story that has been widely spread in five genera and five counties of Yulin for more than a hundred years since Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. Legends in different places have slightly different plots, but the content is basically the same. Many people praised Zeng Zhaotu's generous donation to Yulin City. Others regard Zeng Zhaotu as cloth. Although he has made great contributions to repairing the city, it should not go down in history. Some people regard him as the object of ridicule because his behavior is deliberately unnatural; Some people take this as a sign of pain, gnash their teeth, are not funny, and sympathize with them. Zeng Chuanqiang, a native of Daquantang Village, Maolin Town, Yudong New District, Yulin City, is one of the three famous warriors in Yulin. /kloc-joined the national table tennis team at the age of 0/7; Liang Geliang, Qiao Hong, Wang Nan and other world champions have been trained. He has been sent to Japan, Britain, North Korea, the former Soviet Union and other countries as coaches for many times and won the National Table Tennis Outstanding Contribution Award. ...
Zeng Chuanqiang, who is currently a senior consultant in Shandong Luneng Table Tennis Club, is over 60 years old, but he has a brisk pace, rosy face, bright eyes and gentle and elegant temperament.
He likes to fight to the end.
Talking with Zeng Chuanqiang about the table tennis he loved all his life, time seems to have slipped back to that distant era. Zeng Chuanqiang, who was only 12 and 13 years old at that time, was crazy about table tennis. "I like table tennis since I was a child," Zeng Chuanqiang said. "My brothers all like to play table tennis, so I followed them, playing on the stone table at school, playing with my uncle in the trade union, playing on the stone table near the arcade ... At that time, the table tennis table was very simple. The slate was separated by boards or some bricks and turned into a table tennis table, but I still had a good time. "
Zeng Chuanqiang's second brother, Zeng Wenchuan, recalled that he went to play ball when he was a child. "He went to the trade union with his uncle, where several old comrades are also fans. He's not afraid. Playing with them often wins. Those old comrades like him very much and often take him to play, saying that he has a gift for playing and should take good exercise. He is the kind of person who will hit the bottom when he hits. He often calls 10 at 7: 00 on weekends before going home. "
Zeng Chuanqiang made his mark in a table tennis invitational tournament organized by 1957 in Guangxi, and won the second place in the junior group competition, which attracted attention. Therefore, Zeng Chuanqiang was lucky enough to be selected when Guangxi began to organize a regional table tennis professional team on 1958. At that time, many people didn't know what a professional team looked like, and neither did Zeng Chuanqiang. Knowing that he was chosen, my uncle asked him, "Can this be eaten as a meal? Do you eat with this racket? " Zeng Chuanqiang can't answer, but he knows that playing table tennis is his favorite thing. His parents are very enlightened and say, since you like it so much, try it! In this way, Zeng Chuanqiang and table tennis have forged a lifelong indissoluble bond.
The story of a famous coach and a proud student
After more than two years of hard training and constant tempering in Guangxi professional table tennis team, Zeng Chuanqiang's ball skills have been rapidly improved. 1960 Zeng Chuanqiang was just 17 years old and entered the national table tennis team with excellent results. At that time, Guangxi and Yulin were very eye-catching, and Zeng Chuanqiang's name began to be known.
196 1 year, Zeng Chuanqiang participated in the World Table Tennis Championships on behalf of the national team and achieved good results. However, due to back pain caused by hard training, Zeng Chuanqiang became the coach of the national table tennis women's team on 1965.
Speaking of his disciples, I have to mention two of his favorite students-world champions Qiao Hong and Wang Nan. Qiao Hong once partnered with teammate Deng Yaping and won the women's doubles gold medals in 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games.
In the table tennis lottery of Sydney Olympic Games, Wang Nan met her arch-rival, Li Jiawei, and this road was very narrow. Wang Nan was suddenly uncertain. She sent two short messages to her friend Li Fen, asking Li Fen to tell Zeng Chuanqiang that she was not confident enough. Ceng Zhi, who was far away in China, was worried after hearing the news. He asked Li Fen to tell Wang Nan that he must talk to his familiar coach or others, and open his heart to clarify his problems, otherwise it would be very troublesome! Finally, Zeng Chuanqiang suggested that Wang Nan must communicate with Xu Yinsheng more. In this competition, Wang Nan was once cornered by Li Jiawei, but in the end, he saved the day and had to contribute to the achievements of guiding ideological work. Zeng Chuanqiang and Wang Nan are also teachers and friends at ordinary times, and they are trusted friends in private.
How to evaluate Wang Nan? Zeng Chuanqiang said: "Does she still use my evaluation? She worked very hard and won so many world championships. She must be a very good athlete. " Regarding Wang Nan's poor performance in recent games, Zeng Chuanqiang has another view: "This situation is normal. There are high and low competitions. With the development of table tennis, there will definitely be many excellent players coming up. With Wang Nan's age and physical strength, it is impossible to win every game. As long as she can play hard and enjoy the game. "
The reporter said: "You have brought out so many top players. Do you have any secrets to be a good coach? "
Zeng Chuanqiang said modestly: "As a coach, I am very ordinary and have no secrets. The key is to enjoy doing this job. For athletes, I mainly care about them. If the relationship is harmonious, a lot of work will be easy to do, and athletes will accept your opinions more easily. " Ceng Jize was a diplomat and scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. Tang (now Shuangfeng County) was a native of Xiangxiang County in Qing Dynasty. The word brush post is Zeng Guofan's eldest son. Born in the 19th year of Daoguang (1839). I have received strict education since I was a child, and I am proficient in classics, poetry and works, and I am good at arithmetic. And dragon, because of the influence of Westernization Movement, learned English and western science and culture. Those who know each other praise "learning from China and the West".
In the ninth year of Tongzhi (1870), Ceng Jize's aid case was introduced by second-grade Yin Sheng, who was a member of the Foreign Affairs Department. In the third year of Guangxu (1877), my father was worried, surrendered and attacked Hou. In four years, he served as the permanent minister of Britain and France, adding Shao Qing to the Taichang Hall. During my mission, I deeply understood the history and national conditions of various countries, studied public international law, and inspected the industrial, commercial and social conditions of western European countries. It also changed the location of the embassy from leasing to self-construction, and was personally responsible for the purchase of books and utensils to ensure that the scale of the embassy did not lose the style of a big country and was not extravagant. Strict requirements for traveling abroad, saving public expenses, abandoning greed and inferiority, and advocating a clean and honest style are respected by outsiders.
In the fifth year of Guangxu (1879), Brazil contacted Ceng Jize through its ambassador to Britain, seeking to establish diplomatic relations and trade with China, and recruiting Chinese workers to reclaim land. Ceng Jize suggested that the Qing court agree; Please refuse to recruit workers from China because of the abuse of "coolies" by American countries.
In the first month of six years, Ceng Jize, as the ambassador to Russia, was ordered to go to Russia to negotiate with the British and French ministers to recover the Ili region. First, Chonghou, the plenipotentiary minister, went to Russia to negotiate the recovery of Ili, and signed the Treaty of Rivakia without authorization, which humiliated the country and made the ruling and opposition parties stunned. Ceng Jize was appointed as the negotiator at this time, which attracted national attention.
In June of the same year, Ceng Jize arrived in Beijing. The negotiation lasted 10 months, and formal talks and debates were held, with the number of records being 5 1 time, and the repeated debates reached hundreds of thousands of words. On the 26th day of the first month of the 7th year of Guangxu (18865438+February 24th), the Sino-Russian Treaty of Ili was finally reached. Compared with the treaty signed by Chonghou, although the area west of Horgos River in the west of Yili was still forcibly occupied by Russia, the Wuzongdao Mountain and Tekes River in the south of Yili were recovered. Cancel the rule that Russians can carry out economic activities in Tianjin, Hankou and Xi' an; Abolish the regulation that Russians sail and trade in Songhua River and infringe on the sovereignty of China's inland rivers.
After the outbreak of the Sino-French War in the 9th year of Guangxu (1883), Ceng Jize constantly protested the provocation of the French government. Advocate "persistence" and "if you can't win the first battle, you will fight again; If you can't win again, just play again. " Arguing with a lawyer, never scratching. And sparsely put forward "six strategies for preparation." Although he was ill, he still stuck to his post and worked hard.
In the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), in March, he was dismissed as the ambassador to France, transferred to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Jinbing, and still served as the ambassador to Britain and Russia. After many twists and turns, it finally won back more than 200 million yuan of tobacco tax for the Qing government.
In June of the 12th year of Guangxu (1886), Ceng Jize left Britain and returned to China to assist in naval affairs. Not long ago, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War was ordered to walk in the government office of the Prime Minister. He cares about diplomatic matters, such as the deployment of consulates abroad, where to set up, where to delay and where not to serve, and always makes suggestions to the Prime Minister's Office on the affairs of various countries. We have also improved the telegraph communication method between the foreign minister and domestic contacts. It enjoys a high reputation in the diplomatic circles, and is as famous as Guo Songtao, who was also called "Guo Zeng" at that time. During his mission to Britain and Russia, he wrote China's Theory of Sleeping First and Waking Later, pointing out that foreign aggression was enough to "wake up China in a happy dream" and China was "prepared enough to survive" and was full of confidence in national rejuvenation. /kloc-He died in his office in 0/6. 5 1 year.
