Grandfather：Han Fu
My name is Fuhan. I was born in 1926, the lunar calendar January 7th. My ancestral homelands are in the country in Pingshan town, Hebei province, where the central committee of the Communist Party of China was at the time. The new Peoples Republic of China was coming out from this county. I went to an old-style private school when I was young. After a few years the July 7th incident broke out, and the Anti-Japanese War started. I took part in the revolutionary movement at 15, throughout the Anti-Japanese War, War of Liberation and the war to resist the USA and aid Korea and so on. In the army, I concentrated on publicity and education, and secretarial work. I dedicated my life for the Revolution. This is my job. This is my main experience.
About studying....except the old-style private school, I liked studying very much I mainly depended on learning by myself. But after the Chinese Sino-Japanese War victory, I went to school for some time. I had graduated from 19th Corps Military Executives, The PLA's political Cadre, the Central Party School, and the National Defense University. These schools gave me huge help, but my knowledge mainly relied on learning myself.
Residence.... Because I am a soldier, I have to follow my army to go to everywhere. At the end I located to Kunming. My family is very harmonious. After the Anti-Japanese war victory, I met a little girl. Her name was Feng Airong. At the time, she was a student, and I was a cadre. We were introduced through people, we knew to each other. Our wedding was very simple; just some friends met together to have dinner. Our celebration was chanting and laughing. Then we came back to our own unit. Because of the revolution, we didn't celebrate the Spring Festival for 10 years, but we still didn't feel depressed.

In 1949, People’s liberation army entered to our village; I took part in the revolution and found the cause which I dedicated my life to. I had studied in a school that the people's liberation army arranged for me for one year and knew comrade Fuhan who became my future husband. Then I continued my work and he continued his work in anther organization. So we were spread in different places and united again in 1955. In that year we had our first daughter, then we had a second daughter, finally, we had a last daughter Fu Jingjing in 1963.
My life is full of dull routine, just being a pharmacist…

When I was born my father suddenly
died when he was 30 years old. So my grandmother and other family members looked
after me. As a child, I used to study in a private school, and then I went
to the Shade Primary School in Guiyang. After I graduated from the Shade
Primary School, I was admitted to Zhongshan Secondary School which was called
The War School during that time in Guizzhou Province. I studied there until
Grade 3, this was after the liberation of China in 1949.
In 1950, I started to work in the Public Security Executives
of Guizhou. We were involved in land reform in Lushan Country of
Guizhou Province. And we were assigned by Bijie Police Department to support
the construction of three lines in Yunnan Province. It was to support
industrial construction, and engaged in geological exploration. I worked in the
copper monitoring room of Yunmen, and then we transferred to the monitor room
of the exploration company.
1957, I met my wife; We both worked
in the same metallurgical apartment. She worked
at the Design Institute, and I worked in the exploration company, we got
married in 1958. During 1963, or 1964, our department had to support the
state’s property, so we transferred to a city called Luoping but my son stayed in
the kindergarten. The family financial situation was becoming difficult at the time.
Few years later, I was assigned from Luopin to the Council
Building Materials Company, and my wife came with me as well. Our whole family is quite good. Because I worked in
this company，we have moved
from Xinwen Street to Green Lake. We have lived in Green Lake ever since which
is about 40 years.

Until now, my life has been very good. The government pays me
a thousand Yuan every month. I have money to spend. You don't need to give me
money.
Family? My family is very harmonious. My life is full of
pleasure. That is all.
This is a photo of me when I was studying at the Party
School. After studying I could join the communist party. I became a counselor in
Qiushi High School. I wore a red scarf and led young pioneers to get around.
