Who is Kong Demao? She is the granddaughter of the seventy-seventh generation of Confucius and the great-grandmother of the chairman of the Confucius Foundation, and has served as a member of the National Committee for three consecutive terms. This year, he was 104 years old, but it was on 165438+ 10/5 that he died unfortunately in Beijing because of physical infection.
Her life is full of legends. To outsiders, she is a descendant of Confucius, so she just contains? Golden key? People who are born can enjoy great wealth and great wealth from an early age, but in fact, from the moment she was born, she will bear a great responsibility, that is, to carry forward the Confucius family. In fact, she still has a sister and a younger brother, but just after her mother gave birth to her younger brother 17 days, she died of an accidental infection, so she lost her mother at an early age. Her father was very strict with her and often beat and scolded her.
Because Confucius' family education is very strict, as a descendant of Confucius, she has to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she has to read various books and learn various manners every day. Other children of the same age are playing outside, but she can only be kept at home by her father to study. You can imagine how painful this is.
Although the Kong family was rich at that time, as the daughter of the Kong family, she did not spend money lavishly. On the contrary, her life is very simple. Her room area is also very small, and the facilities inside are relatively simple. The bed is also made of ordinary materials, including the clothes she usually wears, which are similar to those worn by ordinary children. If she wants to wear new clothes, she must wait until the New Year. After the New Year, she must put away her new clothes. This is not allowed.
After the founding of New China, she sold all her valuable gold and silver jewelry and used the money to buy a new house. When she is old, she will report that this house is safe for her old age. Although she is very old, she still insists on reading and writing every day. It is because of her optimistic attitude that she lived to be over 100.
