Ada is a colleague of my elder brother, my brother is a carpenter, he is a blacksmith. One big brother and one brother are partners and often go to the house to repair the house. Big Brother is responsible for repairing doors and windows, and Ada is responsible for repairing sewers.
Ada's father was born in Pingdu City, Shandong Province, China. His father is an elementary school teacher and his mother is a devout Christian. Ada was paralyzed when she was young. At that time, the famous Christian missionary Song Shangjie came to Pingdu, Shandong. After praying for the paralyzed Ada, he was able to stand and walk.
After graduating from elementary school in his hometown, Ada went to Shanghai with his parents. Because he came from Shandong, the children in Shanghai called him "Little Shandong".
Ada's father is a professor of foreign languages at Shanghai Aurora University. Although he was very willing to dedicate all his strength to the construction of New China, it was only that the Communist Party would not give him this opportunity after the country was liberated.
Ada’s father met Luo Zhufeng, director of the Shanghai Office of Religious Affairs, while teaching at Aurora University. At that time, Luo Zhufeng was in charge of Shanghai's "Three Self Patriotic Movement." In July 1955, the anti-war movement began. On July 11, the official journal of the "Selfwind" of the Sanzi Committee published an editorial "Strengthening Unity and Discriminating from Right to Right", saying that Beijing Mingist Hutong Christian Church's director Wang Mingdao opposed the "Sanqi Movement" was sinner". The Chinese people, the church's "sinners, historical sinners", soon the Beijing Public Security Bureau announced that it had cracked the case of Wang Mingdao's counter-revolutionary clique. Later, the person in charge of Sanzi revealed that the editorial came from Luo Zhufeng, director of the Shanghai Office of Religious Affairs.
On September 8, 1955 and January 29, 1956, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau successively cracked down on Catholics and local church members who opposed the Sanzi Movement, the Gong Pinmei counterrevolutionary group case and the Ni Yunsheng case, respectively. The church leader was arrested in the counterrevolutionary group case.
On the afternoon of January 29, 1956, the Shanghai Office of Religious Affairs held three meetings of the Standing Committee of the National Autonomous Government at the Cultural Club. Until midnight, Luo Zhufeng, director of the Office of Religious Affairs, announced that Wang Peizhen, Li Yuanru, Zhang Yuzhi, and Lan Zhiyi had been arrested. All three members of the Standing Committee applauded warmly and thanked the government for eliminating the Christian community.

In the case of Gong Pinmei's counter-revolutionary group, the teaching called the 98th teaching difficulty, that is, the teaching difficulty in Shanghai.
Gong Pinmei was born on August 2, 1901, in Gongjiatang, near the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, Tang Tomb Bridge, Chuansha County, Shanghai.
Gong Pinmei used to go to the Virgin Mary's statue when she was a child and liked to sing "Faith is always preserved".
On May 28, 1930, Gong Pinmei was appointed as a priest in Punan in Shanghai. In 1937, after the August 13th incident, Japan invaded Shanghai. At that time, except for the French Concession, Public Concession, and Xujiahui Church District, they were under the control of Japanese soldiers. Father Gong was very good in French, and the main baptist was Saint Ignatius, so he was close. The Jesuits, then the deans and professors of Aurora University were French Jesuits. The diocesan leader appointed Father Gong as the teaching director of the Affiliated High School of Shanghai Aurora University. In order to cultivate the vocation, Gong Pinmei added Latin tutoring classes and cultivated many vocations and many excellent students. Cardinal Chen Rijun of the Hong Kong Diocese is one of the excellent vocations.
The Chinese government is determined to suppress the Shanghai diocese led by Bishop Gong Pinmei who does not cooperate with it. After careful preparation, on the evening of September 8, 1955, a large-scale search operation was conducted to remove Bishop Gong Pinmei, Jin Luxian, Zhang Xibin, Zhu Hongsheng, Fan Zhongliang, etc. More than 30 priests and members of the church, a total of 183 people were arrested and put in prison. Alleged evidence of crimes such as a newspaper machine and a pistol were found in the Bishop’s House of St. Joseph’s Church on the South of Sichuan Road in Sichuan, and then an exhibition of incriminations was held to organize followers’ visits and a condemnation conference.
On March 17, 1960, Gong Pinmei's counter-revolutionary group case was held for public trial in the Shanghai Intermediate People's Court. The first criminal Gong Pinmei was accused of engaging in counter-revolutionary activities, sentenced to life imprisonment, and deprived of political rights for life.
When Gong Pinmei was President of Aurora University, Ada’s father was a professor of foreign languages at Shanghai Aurora University. Under the guidance of Luo Zhufeng, Ada’s father changed from a devout Christian to an atheist and joined the Communist Party. Therefore, he was not implicated in the case of Gong Pinmei's counterrevolutionary group.

At that time, the views of the Communist Party of China on religion were divided into two groups: the South and the North. The front of the South was Luo Zhufeng, which advocated unity and use. The front of the North was Ren Jiyu, which was harmful and useless.
In 1956, Luo Zhufeng was instructed to establish the Shanghai Federation of Philosophy and Social Sciences, the Shanghai Institute of History and the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Zhou Enlai gave him permission to study the so-called "imperialist history of using Christianity to invade China." Ada’s father was invited to actively participate in the research.
In 1962, Luo Zhufeng was criticized for publishing a short article entitled "Miscellaneous Family". In 1963, Ke Qingshi and Zhang Chunqiao criticized Luo Zhufeng at the Shanghai Ideological Work Conference. It was during this time that Ada’s father was gradually deprived of his right to speak and left the teaching post.
But his treatment is still very good, he has cadre subsidy coupons, you can buy some pastries, you can buy some food at a high price. In the early 1960s, during three years of natural disasters, everything was provided by ticket, and food was supplied quantitatively, which was not easy to buy.
When Ada’s father was shocked, Ada left his parents and lived in the cottage along the street at the corner of Changle Road, Chengdu South Road, Shanghai.
Perhaps it is a common destiny. Big Brother and Big Brother are good friends. They often chat together and smoke and drink together.
Da Ge and Da Da sometimes took me to "Chaoyang Dim Sum" for dinner. I still remember the red bean soup and meat buns at the dim sum shop. That red bean soup, big meat buns, and particularly delicious pig ears, in that hungry era, it was so delicious that I have never forgotten it.

Da Da is hooked on playing chess. He first watched the old people in the alley play chess, and later played chess with my elder brother. Playing chess is a brainstorming game, always thinking of using a conspiracy to kill opponents, even a soldier will not let go.
My elder brother is a kind and honest person, absolutely can't think of any ghost ideas to kill each other's generals and horses and cannons, of course, only admit defeat.
When I was watching chess, I saw Ada’s conspiracy, and I would tell my big brother to be careful, and sometimes help him play chess. The situation will also change.
Ada was very unhappy and challenged me to play chess with me. At first he beat me. But, I soon learned his routine, and he couldn't win me. When I asked him to play chess again, he often refused. I think he is a man who refuses to accept defeat. How could he lose face in front of me?
But I often see Ada using old metal fuel tanks to make funnels and dustpans. I also learned to cut the iron sheet and pick it up. This manual work has become my current iron handcraft art skill.
The most impressive thing. Big Brother later became a mechanic, and the head of the unit asked him to make a special metal funnel, which was used as a mechanical device for cement mixing. The bottom of the metal funnel is rectangular, but the upper mouth is square. Both Big Brother and Big University had dropped out of school early, without the design and computing power in this area. Big Brother asked me to help me calculate. I made a small rectangular frame with thin iron wires, and made a large square frame with thin iron wires. I connected the diagonals of the rectangular and square wire frames with four wires. Enlarge the three-dimensional bevel to calculate the upper and lower lengths of the metal cut and the length of the oblique line.
Big Brother and Big Da finally completed the production of the metal funnel according to my design and calculation method. Since then, Ada has taken a special eye on me.

My big brother and Ada still have a partner. His name is Xiaobai. He is a plasterer. He is a child and he is only 2 years older than me.
Xiaobai is an orphan.
In June 1950, after the Central People's Government promulgated the Land Reform Law of the People's Republic of China, Gong Pinmei threatened peasants to "not recognize the ownership of the land" and "not to participate in the struggle of landlords." Gong Pinmei convened 100 clerics from the three parishes of Shanghai, Suzhou and Haimen three times to meet in the Dongjiadu Catholic Church in Shanghai, planning to fight against land reform, and widely spreading it among Catholics in Shanghai and Chuansha, Nanhui, Songjiang, Qibao and other places , To force followers to comply. After the outbreak of the Korean War, Gong Pinmei said that China's anti-American aid to North Korea was an "unjust war" and prevented young students from joining the army. There are also openly spreading hopes of the invasion of North Korea by US and Chinese clerics to come to Shanghai and relieve the "overhanging suffering."
Xiaobai's father is a Christian believer, accused of participating in Gong Pinmei's reactionary religious activities, and was killed in the movement. His mother also committed suicide.
After the death of Xiaobai's parents, a Mandarin teacher Bai Zhongbai adopted him. Bai Zhongbai was a teacher of Xiaobai's father, and he was a very learned man.
Bai Zhongbai can write beautiful brush words and recite Tang poetry. Bai Zhongbai's education on Xiaobai can be said to be irrigated with painstaking effort, although sometimes it is a bit rough, but also because of the love and the deep responsibility. In the course of this education, Xiaobai and Bai Zhongbai also have conflicts from time to time, and they inevitably collide and offend, but this process continues until Bai Zhongbai's death. So when I think of these things, Xiao Bai shed tears.
During his lifetime, Bai Zhongbai, like his parents, hoped that Xiaobai would go to a good school. Several times Sanfan took him to an excellent elementary school in Shanghai for an interview. Perhaps Xiao Bai was not smart enough, but the bigger reason was that his parents were involved in the case of Gong Pinmei's counter-revolutionary group, and the regular school did not admit him.

Xiaobai's primary school was spent in private primary schools. After Xiaobai went to elementary school, Bai Zhongbai asked him to recite Tang poetry, and regularly checked a few days later. Sometimes he was also told about the meaning of poetry, mainly based on understanding and recitation, and did not talk about how to write poetry.
Bai Zhongbai also asked Xiaobai to write three large letters a day, and one small letter to write brush. After tracing a red model, I started to post. The big letters are the European style, and the Yan style.
After Bai Zhongbai's death, Xiaobai lost his life and lost school. With the help of the residents' committee, Xiaobai, 2 years older than me, became a plasterer and lived in the dormitory of the unit.
My mother saw that Xiao Bai was very pitiful, so he let him often come to my house to play, and saved some delicious food for him.
Xiaobai prefers Lin European style calligraphy and likes that kind of strong and handsome. He won the first place in the primary school writing brush competition. Xiaobai also taught me how to write brush characters, and I began to use brushstrokes, but I didn't care what to do. As a result, writing was a mess.

Xiaobai often borrows books from me to study. He told me that Bai Zhongbai did not agree to buy books. He always said: "If you buy a book, you usually don't pay much attention to it. The borrowed book must be read and returned." But there are also some books in Bai Zhongbai's family, which are filled with bookcases. . After Bai Zhongbai died, the book was gone.
In the third grade of Xiaobai Primary School, Bai Zhongbai showed him the classic Chinese classic "Three Hundred Tang Poems". At that time, Xiaobai didn't understand much. Bai Zhongbai asked him to look up the dictionary himself.
At present, my reading is mainly about fairy tales and short stories. When I encounter a new word, I will not solve it, I just understand it. Xiaobai gave me his dictionary.
At that time, I often went to children's book stalls to rent children's books. Xiaobai knew that I love reading the villain's books, so he took me to Mr. Kong's house in Hunan Road. Mr. Kong is a good friend of Bai Zhongbai's life. Mr. Kong's family has many children's books, and the neat codes are placed on many rows of bookshelves in the house. The house is full of bookshelves, large, and rows of children's books. Mr. Kong bought these little children's books to his only daughter.
Later, when Xiaobai took me to Mr. Kong's house again, many villains disappeared. Mr. Kong sighed and said to me and Xiaobai: "That is something that propagates feudalism, capitalism, revisionism, and the Communist Party is not allowed to read these books."
