Eighty years ago, he went abroad just to make a living. Eighty years later, my son became president and returned to China to recognize his ancestors. Who is he?

This sentence means "people die for wealth, birds die for food", and different people have different understandings of it, so that people have different views on it. Because some people use too extreme methods, there is no correct belief guidance, and there is no principle to restrain their own steps, so there will be a series of counterexamples.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the development direction of human beings from ancient times to the present is to meet their own needs. Only in this desire for better living conditions can you generate motivation and further stimulate human creativity. The road to a better life is doomed not to be smooth sailing. "The road is long, and I will go up and down." Only by persistence will there be a day when "sail straight and go straight to the deep sea".

Cheng Zhiping was born in a remote and barren village in Wenzhou, but Cheng Zhiping gave birth to great dreams in a barren village. 1933, it was the war years. At that time, China was at a critical juncture and needed people with lofty ideals to step forward. For the people at the bottom, solving the problem of food and clothing has been placed in front of them, and their ambitions are thin and illusory in the fire.

Cheng Zhiping is also a member of thousands of working people in Qian Qian, but unlike him, he has the courage and determination to go abroad, which makes him successful in life. After some calculation, he decided to sneak into France.

Looking through the history books, it is not difficult to see Wenzhou people who have crossed the ocean. It can be seen that this activity of making a living overseas is itself an instinctive reaction of human survival. It was just that there was no concept of smuggling at that time. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that the government issued a "sea ban" to prohibit people from going to sea, and the theory of smuggling came into being.

Nowadays, Wenzhou stowaways have traveled all over Europe, including France, Spain and Italy, and many people have been to Japan, the United States and Russia. Many people may have heard of and witnessed many local tragedies caused by smuggling, and they are all shocked. The process of smuggling is always full of hardships, pains and unpredictable risks.

However, millions of people still have hope. They try their best to flood abroad and are willing to bear such high costs and risks.

As we often say, risks and opportunities coexist, and sometimes the temptation of interests is even more fearless. What's more, in that turbulent era, Cheng Zhiping, a young man with dreams, has embarked on his long journey abroad.

It is a blessing to miss the opportunity.

At that time, France had many colonies in Africa, so Cheng Zhiping, who came to France to make a living, had the opportunity to expand his business. I went to Jeantier Port in Gabon, Africa to sell porcelain. I wanted to buy something and go back to Europe, but I had to stay in Gabon because I missed the sailing time. This defeat may be bad luck for Cheng Zhiping who wanted to make a fortune in France at that time, but it may be a godsend for Cheng Zhiping who later missed the sailing date and never knew it was a blessing.

Cheng Zhiping stayed in Gabon and didn't lose the confidence to struggle because of the backward social conditions in Africa at that time. If he wants to move on, he must find a job first. It happened that he met a sick French baker, so he went to the bakery and found a job baking bread. After getting familiar with him, people around him affectionately call him "Ping" because the pronunciation of these three words is too ugly for foreigners.

During his three-year career, he worked hard and accumulated a lot of savings, which laid the foundation for him to go to Ombue, the capital of Edinburgh. Ombue, the capital of Edinbu province, is located on the wedge-shaped peninsula150km south of Gentil Port, with superior geographical position and convenient maritime transportation, with lagoons in the east and the sea in the west. In this environment, let Cheng Zhiping give full play to one of his skills.

By fishing and logging, he quickly gained a foothold here, gained the appreciation of the local people, and more importantly, was favored by the local Mi Yan leaders. After marriage, Cheng Zhiping officially took root in Gabon. Soon, two people gave birth to a son, and the locals called him "the son of Ping".

According to local customs, the newborn was baptized in the church at the full moon, and the priest gave the child the Christian name "Jean", hence the name Jean-Ping.

Gradually, with excellent business acumen and unique vision, Cheng Zhiping established his own company. Although Cheng Zhiping has great achievements and social status, he is not arrogant. The global market crisis has swept across Africa, and many local western enterprises have been hit, and managers have laid off employees to alleviate the crisis. Many workers lost their jobs, but Cheng Zhiping and his workers took French leave and pulled through.

After the economic crisis, many enterprises resumed production, but they could not recruit workers. Cheng Zhiping won the hearts of the people with his kindness and kindness, and the company became the leader of the local timber industry, and Cheng Zhiping has since embarked on the peak of success.

Because he is a countryman, he has experienced the cruelty and hardships of life. He is kind and fair, and never loses his principles in the face of money. As a village head, he always shoulders his own responsibilities. He often donates to the poor, even donating roads, buying boats and building hospitals. People in the tribe regard him as the savior and affectionately call him "Ping Dad". Trusted by the people, with the help of his wife, he ran for the state legislature in Eddingbue, served for two consecutive terms, and was later elected as mayor.

Cheng Zhiping, who stepped onto the political stage, still did not change his original intention, serving the people wholeheartedly and working hard. He died on 1985 at the age of 7 1. The first presidential medal he wore on his chest was the best affirmation of his achievements by African people.

Cheng Zhiping's brilliant life came to a perfect end here, and all this originated from the lost flight. ...

"Back to my father's hometown, I feel like a reborn father. My father connected me with China, and I found my roots for him and found relatives he had never seen before. This unusual feeling made me understand that my father is from China and his roots are here. Many French friends in Gabon suggested that their father become a French citizen, but he refused. My father said, "I'm from China".

If my father can live two more years, I will accompany him to Wenzhou. I think this will be the best time of his life. Cheng Zhiping's son Jean Ping said this in an interview. Jean Ping was influenced by his father since childhood, studied hard, was admitted to the University of Paris I, and studied hard at school, becoming a leader among Gabonese students in France. In order to promote China-Africa friendship, he has visited China many times.

At the Wenzhou People's Congress held in 2003, JeanPenn was also invited as a descendant of Wenzhou people to confess his disloyalty to his father. JeanPinton's dream as a student was to become a white-collar bank worker, but due to various coincidences, he also entered the political circle.

As the former chairman of the AU Commission, he served as the President of Gabon in 20 16. Although he did well abroad, he always remembered his father's teaching and said that he was from Wenzhou. After returning to Wenzhou several times, the blood flowing in Wenzhou made him fall in love with this land. Promote mutual cooperation and development between Wenzhou and African enterprises, and enhance friendly relations between the two countries. Now, Wenzhou has established a sister city relationship with Gentil Port in Gabon, and the government has also funded the construction of a gymnasium in Jean Ping's hometown. He has been busy with China-Africa cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, investment and tourism.
