严于律己，再谈育人

谢觉哉同志在新中国成立后，曾任内务部部长、最高人民法院院长、全国政协副主席等职。虽身居高位，但谢老从不以元老自居，而是严格要求配偶子女及亲属，带头树立良好家风。

作为党的高级干部，他始终将自己视作人民公仆、普通共产党员，从没有什么特殊要求，对子女和亲属更是严格约束。他经常告诫儿女们：“我是共产党人，你们是共产党人的子女，不许有特权思想。”

不许子女特殊化，是谢觉哉家风的特色之一。早在延安时期，有一次他的孩子到机关食堂玩耍，正遇到开饭时间，管理员想留孩子吃“小灶”，谢觉哉坚决反对，马上要求孩子回家，并嘱咐他们以后少去“小灶”食堂。担任最高人民法院院长期间，因工作需要，公家配给谢老一辆小车。有一次，偶然发现儿女用了车后，谢觉哉非常生气，“国家给我的汽车是工作时才使用的，你们没有权利叫司机开我的车外出”。随后，谢觉哉叫家人付了车费，还在一次党组织生活会上，就孩子动用汽车的事作了自我批评。

谢觉哉生活非常节俭，常常是一件衣服、一双鞋子一穿就是十几年，每当家人要给他买新衣、做好吃的时，他总是说：“我们的吃穿已经很好了，再好就要过分。”谢老不仅自己生活节俭，还经常教导子女保持艰苦朴素、勤俭节约的生活习惯。20世纪60年代，谢老家中人多，孩子们吵吵嚷嚷地喊着要换房子。为此，谢老给儿女们写了一封家信。信中写道：“有一个观点必须更正：这个房子是很好的，不要因有点点子毛病，就叫嚷起来。”他以“有的人一家子住在一间房里，农村的老百姓有的一年吃不到油，北京市的居民也只能分到4两油，鸡蛋、肉也很难买到”等例子告诫子女“要看过去，看别人，要工作在先，享受在后，当广大人民还十分困难的时候，我们过着这样的生活，应该感到不安，而绝不应该感到不足”。

Self-discipline Comes Before Children's Education

After the founding of People's Republic of China, Xie Juezai served as minister of the Interior Ministry, president of the Supreme People's Court and vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Despite his high position, Xie never considered himself a privileged person. Instead, he strictly demanded his spouse, children and relatives to behave themselves in order to establishgood family traditions.

As a senior party cadre, he always regarded himself as a servant of the masses and an ordinary party member. He never asked for any privilege, and was even more strict with his children and relatives. He often admonished his children: "I am a party member, and you are the children of a communist. Do not have privileged-seeking mindsets."

It was one of the characteristics of Xie Juezai's family traditions that none of his children was allowed to be specially treated. During the period of Yan'an, his children once went to the canteen to play, and when it was dinnertime, the administrator proposed to make special food for them. Xie Juezai firmly opposed this and immediately asked his children to go home and instructed them not to go there to receive special favor. During his tenure as president of the Supreme People's Court, Xie was given a car for his work. Once, by chance, he found that his children used the car for private reasons. He was very angry and said to them, "the car given by the state is used only for working. You have no right to ask the driver to drive my car out for you." Xie told his family to pay the fare, and also made a self-criticism in a party meeting.

Xie Juezai lived a very frugal life. He wore his clothes and shoes for more than a decade. Whenever his family wanted to buy him new clothes and make him delicious food, he always said, "We are already well fed and clothed, and anything better would be excessive." In addition, he often taught his children to develop the habit of living in a hard, simple, diligent and thrifty way. In the 1960s, Xie's family was crowded, and thus the childrenwere constantly asking for a new house. In response, Xie wrote a letter to his children: "One thing must be clarified: this house is excellent. You should stop complaining about just some minor flaws.” He mentioned that "Some people live in one small room with their families; some people in rural areas cannot have oil for a year; with only 4 taels of oil available,residents in Beijing can hardly buy eggs and meat." By doing so, he intended to admonish his children that "We must look at the past and think about others. Work always comes before enjoyment. We should feel uneasy instead of dissatisfied for living such a life as the broad masses are still in a very difficult situation."
