Du is an 8-year-old orphan, and his childhood was miserable.
Generally speaking, life will always experience some hardships. Some people come early, some people come late, but sooner or later they will go through such a process. Since he will come sooner or later, it is better to let him come as soon as possible to make people feel at ease. Du Yisheng's sufferings came early. A boy was born in Dujia Garden, the ancestral home of Dujia in Gao Qiao Town, Shanghai County, on the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month in AD 1888. Because it was July 15 and the moon was high in the sky, it was named Yuesheng, and later renamed Yuesheng. Du Mid-Autumn Festival, commonly known as "Ghost Festival", is said to be the day when all ghosts have a holiday, and it is also the heaviest day of the year. According to the book, children born on this day, commonly known as "ghosts", have a hard life and have to go to other places to develop. Dujia Garden is actually a narrow bungalow. One of the rooms has two bedrooms on each side, belonging to Du Yuesheng's uncle and father Du Wenqing. There is a small garden behind the house, with some fruit trees and weeds in it. Du Wenqing's two brothers are very poor, and their ancestral home is in disrepair. The fruit trees in the backyard are left unattended and left to their own devices. Whenever the fruit has just taken shape and has not turned red, the sea urchin climbs over the wall and picks it all. Du Yuesheng is Du Wenqing's eldest son, but his father was not at home when he was born. In order to make a living, Du Wenqing borrowed money from a friend and opened a small rice shop in Yangshupu. Because of poverty, he left his wife and children in his ancestral home in the country to spend a hard time. Whenever she can't support her family, Mrs. Zhu, Du's mother, carries Xiaoyuesheng to help people wash clothes and earn a meager salary to make a living. Since the year Du was born, there have been natural and man-made disasters in Shanghai every year, and the people are in dire straits. Therefore, Du's childhood situation was quite miserable. 1889, Du was under one year old, and his mother, Mrs. Zhu, had no food in her ancestral home. Holding Du Yuesheng, she walked more than twenty miles to Yangshupu. But in the rice shop in Du Wenqing, the situation is even worse. His wife and eldest son came at the same time, which was both a joy and a sorrow. Mrs. Zhu soon discovered that even the proprietress of the rice shop could cook without rice. No way, Mrs. Zhu heard that the wages of female workers in the nearby cotton mill were good, so she volunteered to work. Mrs. Zhu suffered from malnutrition all the year round and was weak. Besides, at that time, she was pregnant again. Normal people have only half a life to work as contract workers. Mrs. Zhu's entering the factory at this time is tantamount to suicide. She paid the price of her life for Du, her father and son, her family's life. /kloc-in the summer of 0/890, cholera was prevalent in Shanghai, and passers-by who fell to the ground and died were seen from time to time on the road. Mrs. Zhu gave birth to a daughter in that dark and horrible period. After giving birth, she died of extreme weakness. Du Wenqing mourned his dead wife, and he was in great pain. He held his newborn daughter in one hand and caressed his wife's body in the other while crying. Nothing could be more tragic. He had no money, so he bought a white wooden coffin for his wife and hired someone to carry it back to his hometown in Gao Qiao. Because of poverty, he was forced to float Mrs. Zhu's coffin on a ridge not far from Dujia Garden, and tied bundles of straw around the coffin. Life in troubled times is worse than death, and I want to follow Mrs. Zhu. But what about the children who have just lost their mothers? He is exhausted and can't hold on any longer. He had to give up what he wanted and give his daughter to a businessman named Huang Ningbo for adoption, praying that she could survive. Please note that he gave his daughter a "gift" instead of a "sale" in such a difficult situation, which shows that he is honest and upright, and this is also inherited from Du. A few years later, Du went through many vicissitudes and finally succeeded in the struggle. As a respected leader of the whole country, he has hundreds of millions of wealth. He announced many times that he hoped to find his sister and let his brother and sister meet. But until his death, this goal was never achieved. It can be seen that some things are lost only when there is money and power and there is no way to do it. In the seventeenth year of Du Guangxu, he succeeded the gentle and amiable Mrs. Zhang. She is very young and takes good care of Du Yuesheng as if she were her own child. Du recalled that being next to Mrs. Zhang was still the happiest time of Du's childhood. In the eighteenth year of Guangxu, Du was five years old, which was the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. It snows heavily and the climate is extremely cold. Du Wenqing is ill and has no money to buy medicine. Because of poverty, Du's biological father, like his biological mother, died and could not be buried. Du Wenqing's coffin was tied with straw by his BBK and his beloved son, and was temporarily placed on the ridge. A few years later, between the two coffins, a boxwood grew, covering the body of Du Wen Qinghe and his wife, as if guarding the poor couple. In the 19th year of Guangxu, Du was six years old. Mrs. Zhang sent him to a furniture mat and started a short study trip. Later, because she couldn't support the Xiaomi store in Yangshupu, she was forced to close down, and she returned to Gao Qiao with seven-year-old Du. She loves Yue Sheng, grinds her teeth, helps others wash clothes and earns a few pence, but it is not enough for mother and son. Despite such a difficult situation, Mrs. Zhang still hopes that Du can read and write. She used her laundry salary to save money, chipped in 50 cents a month and sent Du to a private school. After studying for four months in a row, by the fifth month, she really couldn't get the money. She and Du wept bitterly, and Du dropped out of school. In the twenty-first year of Guangxu, when Du was eight years old, Mrs. Zhang mysteriously disappeared. I don't know whether she was hurt by others or other reasons, but Du Yuesheng will never know. The orphan Du Yuesheng is not only neglected, but also has no food. He had to cry for his grandmother's house. Grandma is the mother of his biological mother, Mrs. Zhu Taifu, and loves this lonely, hungry and cold grandson very much. And my husband's family is also in the same plight. Eating more, even children, has put a heavy burden on them. Therefore, Du Xiaoyuesheng suffered a black eye at his grandmother's house. When Shiwu Du was 18, he wanted to go out to make a living, but he had no money. His brain moved to the ancestral half-broken house, was beaten by his uncle, and was severely reprimanded by his uncle. He left his hometown angrily, crossed the river with his bare hands and sought survival in Shanghai. Grandma sent him to the splayed bridge with tears in her eyes. At that time, he looked at Gao Qiao with tears in his eyes and made an oath: "If I can't honor my ancestors in the future, I will never return."
