52-year-old widowed, thirteen children, thirteen doctors.

Wang Shuzhen, male, 1897, from Rugao Town, Nantong County, Jiangsu Province. Her family is well-off, she went to a girls' middle school, liked poetry and music, and believed in Buddhism since she was a child.

19-year-old Wang Shuzhen, as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, married Li Haomin, a local rich second generation, and lived a life of caring for her husband and educating her children. At that time, people believed in having more children and gave the Li family eight daughters and five sons.

Li Hao runs a grain store outside democracy, and Wang Shuzhen is husband and wife. His family is well-off, 8 women and 5 men grow up healthily, and his family lives a life envied by the gods.

1948, the Li family moved to Taiwan Province province. 1949 Before the Spring Festival, Li Haomin, who was about 50 years old, bought a batch of fry in southern Jiangsu and shipped them to Taiwan Province Province by Taiping Shipping, but he was unfortunately killed.

After the "Taiping Wheel" incident, the Li family lost its pillar and the whole family began to decline. Shortly after arriving in Taiwan Province, Wang Shuzhen became an orphan, with 13 children alone and no friends in a strange environment.

Wang Shuzhen, who lost her husband, was not discouraged. She not only has to feed all 13 children, but also let them go to school and receive a good education.

To this end, she even helps people make a living.

In order to feed these 13 children to go to school, Wang Shuzhen also tried his best to change from a "good family" and a "full-time wife" to a "servant".

Taking care of children, washing and cooking, and tutoring music in a rich family, as long as one pair of hands can earn money, she works day and night.

At that time, Wang Shuzhen and 13' s children lived in a deserted suburb of Taoyuan District, Taiwan Province, while the children went to school in the urban area and had to walk dozens of miles back and forth every day. Seeing that it is almost impossible to open the pot, she insists on sending her children to school even if she sells iron.

At first, the young children didn't realize how much influence their father's absence had. Later, they found that life was getting worse and worse. Wang Shuzhen told them emotionally and rationally:

"If you have the ability, you will have a bright future."

Wang Shuzhen is very strict with her children, bordering on harshness.

My son Li Changyu became an inspector after graduating from the Police Academy. His salary is very high. But she said to her son:

"You have to continue studying, the master's degree is not enough, and you have to study for a doctor."

She hopes that her children will become outstanding and top-notch talents as much as possible, not only growing up, but also growing up.

Under this educational concept, the Li family has produced 13 doctors, which is absolutely a miracle all over the world!

There are only fifteen words in Longzi Jing.

Wang Shuzhen is very successful in educating children, but the books she teaches her children are only 15 words.

This also fully confirms the lesson of our ancestors: the road is simple.

Wang Shuzhen often tells children: "Be kind to others, concentrate on things, talk less and do more."

Although Wang Shuzhen's book of prodigies is only 15, it contains four aspects of life. It can be said that it is meaningful and concise.

Be kind to others, that is to say, be kind, plant Futian extensively, and make good relations.

This is the first essence of our life. People can have no talent, but they can't have no virtue and no plan. So the old man put "being kind to others" in the first place.

Focusing on things means that we should be sincere and respectful.

Concentrate on one thing, that is, first have a sincerity for what you do, do things sincerely, and don't think about the return of doing things.

Concentrate on things, another meaning is respect. Respect means having respect for what you have done, and you should do it as one thing, instead of fooling around and being half-hearted.

Talking less means that people should exercise restraint and self-control, and avoid attracting others' attention.

People who talk a lot, on the one hand, tend to offend others unconsciously, and also lay a curse for themselves; On the other hand, talking more and doing less will naturally make people frivolous and superficial.

"When I am silent, I feel full, I will open my mouth and feel empty at the same time" is a famous saying of Lu Xun.

Doing more requires people to do things and turn their ideals and ideas into reality with actions.

Doing things is not only a way for us to dream in advance, but also a channel for self-cultivation.

According to the Book of Changes,

A gentleman takes the fruit of Xiu De,

In other words, important people can cultivate noble morality through actions and things.

In A Dream of Red Mansions, it also means that "everything is clear and learning, and people's understanding is an article".

Wang Shuzhen 15' s words of educating children, though simple, contain the only way for our ancestors to educate their descendants. It is worth learning from every parent and everyone.

A China heart.

Although Wang Shuzhen moved to the United States with her family, she still has a China heart in her heart.

Usually at home, she communicates with her children and insists on using Jianghuai Mandarin as Rugao dialect. On the one hand, she listens to foreign local accent to relieve homesickness, on the other hand, she reminds her children not to forget that she is from China.

On her100th birthday, President Clinton, his wife and Mayor new york went to congratulate the old man on "Happy Birthday"! Can have such a high standard of treatment, respect for her can be imagined!

At the birthday party, the children asked her what gift she wanted, and she said:

"I'm going back to build a school for the children in China."

In a simple sentence, she expressed her deep love and homesickness for her motherland.

On March 6th, 2003, Wang Shuzhen died in New York, USA, at the age of 103. Born in Guangxu, grew up in the Republic of China, made peace with * * *, and died in AD 2 1 century.

This China old man who has spanned three centuries has given birth to 13 children and trained 13 doctors.

Her educational principle of "being kind to others, concentrating on doing things, talking less and doing more" is worth learning from every parent and child in contemporary times.
