In 1948, Jiang Zhujun, an underground party member, was arrested and imprisoned. After being imprisoned, the enemy tortured her in order to get secret information from her communists. In the face of inhuman torture, Jiang Zhujun's body was already scarred and bloody, but she was still tight-lipped and unwilling to reveal any news. In the end, the enemy believed that she had no value anymore and brutally killed her.
In the life of imprisonment, Jiang Zhujun knew that she would not be able to escape death, so she used a bamboo stick as a pen to write her last suicide note in prison. In the suicide note, she hopes that her son Peng Yun will be able to make his own contribution to the country like herself when he grows up, which is her last request and final expectation for her son.
After growing up, Peng Yun lived in the United States with his family for a long time, and did not return to China until his twilight years, and many people once thought that he had forgotten the country. But whether this is the case or not, Peng Yun still has not fulfilled his mother's last wish.
As the son of a martyr, why did he not return to China until his twilight years? Is there anything unspeakable about him?
In 1939, Jiang Zhujun, who was full of poetry, joined the Communist Party of China and officially became an underground party member. In the following years, Jiang Zhujun adhered to the principle of resolutely obeying the orders of the party organization and worked diligently.
In early 1947, when a student anti-riot movement broke out in Chongqing, Jiang Zhujun was arranged to participate in the riot in Chongqing. In order to better conceal Jiang Zhujun's identity, the organization sent Peng Yongwu, a communist party member, to Chongqing to cooperate with Jiang Zhujun's work in the name of husband and wife. Unfortunately, Peng Yongwu bravely and righteously in the later riots, and Jiang Zhujun, who heard the news, was devastated, but she still resolutely continued to fight with the will of her companions.
On June 14, 1948, Fu Zhigao betrayed the Communists, revealing Jiang Zhujun's identity to the enemy army, and Jiang Zhujun was arrested and imprisoned. In prison, Jiang Zhujun was tortured and scaled all over her body, but she still clenched her teeth and refused to give in to the enemy. Everyone in prison was touched by Jiang Zhujun's arrogance and called her "Sister Jiang".
When the enemy army saw that she could not get useful information on Sister Jiang, they made up their minds to kill her. And Sister Jiang also knew that she would not be able to escape death this time, so she used a bamboo stick as a pen to write her last suicide note in prison.
The suicide note reads: "We have the confidence of victory and survival, since the day I was imprisoned (June of the previous year), I have made up my mind to go to prison for two years, and now that the situation has changed, there is a possibility of getting out of prison at the end of the year... We don't sit in jail for nothing, we keep learning... In the end, we are still people in the tiger's mouth, and our lives and deaths are uncertain... If you are unlucky, Yun'er (referring to Peng Yun, the child of the two martyrs Jiang Zhujun and Peng Yongwu), will be given to you, hoping to follow in the footsteps of your parents, take the construction of new China as the aspiration, and fight to the end for the cause of the communist revolution. Children must not be arrogant (petite) to raise, rough clothes and light food is enough..."
This suicide note carries her love for the party and hopes that her son can inherit her legacy and continue to contribute to the future of the party.
On November 14, 1949, the enemy secretly escorted Sister Jiang to Mount Gele and brutally killed her, and Sister Jiang, who was only 29 years old, bravely rebelled. After Sister Jiang's sacrifice, her only son, Peng Yun, officially became an orphan and grew up in poverty.
In 1980, Peng Yun and Yi Xiaozhi, who had achieved academic success, went to the United States to study and both obtained master's and doctoral degrees. They then settled in the United States, and their children earned a master's degree at the age of 25. Because of their long lives in the United States, many People in China believe that they have forgotten their homeland.
A reporter once asked him this question, and he resolutely said: "We will not forget that we are Chinese, we are the descendants of Chinese martyrs."
But when the reporter asked the latter question, he was silent.
Because the reporter asked him for so long, why didn't he return to the motherland? For this simple question, Peng Yun's heart is indeed very complicated.
Peng Yun knew that his mother's will was to make himself pay for the country and contribute himself. However, he concentrated on computers, and wanted to return to China when he had a performance in computers to serve the country. Now he has his own outstanding works, but he himself is too old to be able to do so. Peng Yun, who had been silent for a long time, could only answer two words in the face of reporters' questions: "Old."
In 1955, Peng Yun and his family finally set foot on the Chinese mainland. Peng Yun returned to Zigong and came to the Martyrs' Cemetery because his mother was here. Looking at the statue of his mother, he could not speak for a long time, and many words came to his mind but it was difficult to open his mouth. Before leaving, Peng Yun left such a sentence in front of his mother's tomb: "Always remember your mother Jiang Zhujun."
Back in Zigong, the mayor greeted him kindly, and he also expressed his willingness to do his part for Zigong. Peng Yun's heart has always been loaded with his motherland, his hometown, but he can't express it in his own way.
As the son of a martyr, he has the blood of a martyr on his body, and he has always kept his mission deeply in mind. For the motherland, he has a more sense of belonging and intimacy, because this is the motherland that his mother guarded with her life.
In the end, Peng Yun's son Peng Zhuangzhuang, under the influence of Peng Yun, gave up the superior life in the United States, returned to the motherland, and continued to complete the work that his father did not complete where his grandmother worked.
Jiang Zhujun's will is noble and great, and her fearless sacrifice and perseverance have influenced generations of Chinese. As a Chinese, she fulfilled her obligations. She devoted her life to the cause of The Chinese revolution, but in her short life, she did many things of great significance.
It is precisely because of the great heroes like Jiang Zhujun that the Chinese nation can rise step by step in the war and defeat the enemy again and again under difficulties and obstacles. Today, when New China was founded, we should be vigilant about their efforts and spread their deeds to all corners of China.
We should write their deeds into textbooks, so that generations of flowers of the motherland can understand that their current happy life is bought with the lives of their revolutionary ancestors. Let them cherish the hard-won life now, study well, and improve every day. In the future, when the motherland needs them, it can proudly contribute its own strength, only because it is a Chinese, the heir of the will of the party and its predecessors, and the new master and pillar of China's future.
