Chen Dejun I Chen Dejun is my grandmother's name, I use it as the title of my article because she is the person who made an impact on my life. She is an 80-year-old woman with beautiful smile, short and thin but very cute. She used to go for walk around her house (my grandfather has passed away for 10 years because of the esphagus cancer so my grandma lives alone now ) before the catagma. She is helpful,active and optimistic so that she has a lot of friends who make her never feeling lonely. She is also inteligent, studious, hard-working, strong and independent. She is that kind of people that constantly strives to become stronger, she is an awfully nice woman in my eyes. She was born on April 13th, 1933 in a small village of China. When she came into the world, there were already six brothers and sisters waiting for her. It was in time of war, the poor family didn't have enough money to support all the children to go to school. Although my grandma was the fortunate one, she had to go on hill and down dale to arrive at school in that mountanious region and which took her 2 or 3 hours every day. Later, she got the admission permit of a famous university but she couldn't go there for economic reason of her family and finally she chose a normal college which offered her scholarship instead of the university. After graduated from the college she got a job in capital and with the help of her brother, who had worked in a bank and been supporting the whole family for a long time, she moved to Beijing. She started to work in an infants' school there as a kindergarener and she was outstanding for developing the capabilities of each student. A couple of month later, she met my grandpa in that city who was an electroacoustical engineer at hat moment. They got married before long, without romantic love story, without wealth, it was still a revolutionary time. The life was getting worse and worse, my grandma had to maintain her nephews' life as she was the aunt and the boys went to Beijing and studyed there. Both of the couple earned a low salary and the wife was a thrifty woman that she managed to put aside some money every month. They were not afraid of the stress from the life. My uncle, the elder brother of my father was born in Beijing on Oct. 30th 1955, then they moved to a frontier town by government' s policies. Two years later, my aunt was born and then was my father.
