In 1937, Chen Yi, who was already 37 years old, had not yet married, a chance of yin and yang, he looked at the Shanghai girl who was only 16 years old in the service group, the little girl was beautiful and clever and cute, Chen Yi felt a different feeling when he first saw the girl, Chen Yi wanted to say what he felt to the girl, but he felt that it was not appropriate, so he could only entrust Xie Yunhui to help himself to ask the media about the girl's thoughts.
Xie Yunhui went to ask the girl for advice under chen Yi's entrustment, but the girl laughed and told Xie Yunhui: "Commander Chen's age is more than enough for my father, how can we fall in love together?" ”
When Xie Yunhui told Chen Yi about his conversation with the Shanghai girl, he was full of expectations at the beginning, and he was instantly extinguished by reality, and he knew that this matter could not be forced by the girl, so he could only give up and did not continue to say anything more. After experiencing the blow of such a thing, Chen Yi did not continue to think about his marriage for a period of time later, until he met another girl, everything changed again.
Hankou girl Zhang Qian, sweet appearance, fresh temperament, there is a feeling that can not be said between the hands and feet, Chen Yi met Zhang Qian for the first time, he felt that this girl is not ordinary, after understanding some girls, Chen Yi is even more devoted to it, hoping to understand more about the girl.
After Chen Yi carefully understood Zhang Qian, the feeling of Zhang Qian was more obvious, such a strong girl, able to go from the bumpy road of life to today, it seems that she still maintains an optimistic spirit, this is not Chen Yi's favorite temperament, Chen Yi has identified this girl in his heart, just waiting for the right opportunity to say his heart.
Chen Yi was full of enthusiasm, after a long period of brewing, finally could not help but tell Zhang Qian his heart, at that time Zhang Qian did not have any psychological preparation, suddenly heard Chen Yi expressed feelings, Zhang Qian was a little difficult to accept for a while, ruthlessly rejected Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's full of enthusiasm was once again poured out by reality, but thinking about it, the reason why Zhang Qian rejected Chen Yi so ruthlessly was not without reason, first of all, the age gap between the two was too large, in that era, it was already a little difficult to accept, followed by Chen Yi but the commander, after liking Zhang Qian, many people were chewing on the root of their tongues, saying that Zhang Qian wanted to be the wife of an official, so that young Zhang Qian was full of grievances after hearing it, in the face of complicated emotions, Zhang Qian chose to reject Chen Yi, and it was understandable. Perhaps at this time, what Zhang Qian needed most was to have someone to enlighten her well, or to calm down and get to know Chen Yi well.
After Xie Yunhui learned that Zhang Qian rejected Chen Yi, he planned to understand the situation, in Zhang Qian's words, Xie Yunhui finally figured out Zhang Qian's concerns, so Xie Yunhui began to patiently enlighten Zhang Qian, he told Zhang Qian to bravely pursue his own happiness, and also told Zhang Qian some things about Chen Yi, such as Chen Yi's ideal ambitions and Chen Yi's literary feelings.
As Xie Yunhui talked more and more, Zhang Qian's view of Chen Yi became more and more different, in the face of such a "poet general", Zhang Qian gradually let go of some ideological baggage, planning to patiently understand Chen Yi, want to understand Chen Yi, Zhang Qian first went to see some of the poems that Chen Yi had written.
Zhang Qian read a lot of Chen Yi's poems, but she felt a lot about one of them, that is, the poem that Chen Yi wrote when Meiling was in distress:
What does the severed head mean today? Entrepreneurship is difficult and difficult. This went to Quantai to recruit the old department, and the banner was 100,000 Yan Luo. The southern country is ten years old, and this head must be hung at the gate of the country. Later generations of kings worked hard, and the good news flew to be paper money. To join the revolution is to be home, and there should be an end to the bloody rain and wind. Taking righteousness into benevolence, the world is full of free flowers.
After reading this poem, Zhang Qian has a new understanding of Chen Yi, she suddenly felt that at the beginning she only thought about the relationship between the two from the age, seniority and identity of the two people, it was obviously inappropriate, she is now facing a person who was besieged by the enemy in Meiling for more than 20 days, in the case of uncertain life and death, there is still no slightest timidity and fear, and she can also write such a heroic and ambitious poem, in the poem Chen Yi firmly believes that this war will be won, such a confident person, worthy of an iron-boned tough guy, Zhang Qian's feelings about Chen Yi changed dramatically with her understanding of Chen Yi.
Finally, after Zhang Qian learned about Chen Yi, she was deeply attracted by the hero in front of her, Chen Yi's personal charm made Zhang Qian leave behind the worldly things such as age, experience, and identity, and what she remembered more in her heart and mind was Chen Yi's iron backbone and that confident and optimistic spirit, of course, Zhang Qian certainly could not forget the love poems that Chen Yi wrote to herself:
The spring light shines like a fool, ashamed of my Jiangnan unification sharp division. Where is the twenty-year pride? Losing and Hongfang don't know it.
Such an iron-boned tough guy, there is also another side of tenderness like water, Zhang Qian looked at the love poems written by Chen Yi to himself, the inner waves fluctuated, when Chen Yi made a marriage request to himself, Zhang Qian finally never refused, the two were officially married in 1940, when Chen Yi was 40 years old and Zhang Qian was 18 years old.
After Chen Yi and Zhang Qian got married, they have been living a husband and wife life of mutual affection and respect, the two have three sons and a daughter, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Yi served as vice premier of the State Council and foreign minister, and Zhang Qian also published two books by relying on his own efforts and his own strengths (excellent Russian), which can be said that both of them have achieved remarkable results in their careers.
It's just a pity that Chen Yi finally suffered from bowel cancer in January 1972, and finally died, after Chen Yi's death, although Zhang Qian was already ill, she still ignored her sick body and insisted on sorting out chen Yi's manuscript before his death, hoping that these precious literary treasures could be seen by the world.
After Zhang Qian's tireless collation, the "Selected Poems of Chen Yi" was finally completed and seen by the world, so far, Zhang Qian can also be regarded as the last important thing she wants to do, because Zhang Qian originally suffered from lung cancer, her health deteriorated, and in March 1974, shortly after finishing the text of Chen Yi's book manuscript, Zhang Qian died in Beijing at the age of 52.
Zhang Qian initially chose to reject Chen Yi because of her age, seniority and identity gap with Chen Yi, and later under the enlightenment of Xie Yunhui, Zhang Qian finally put down her ideological baggage to seriously understand Chen Yi, who had thought that the more she knew Chen Yi, the more attracted to his personal charm, and finally when Chen Yi said the marriage request, Zhang Qian gladly accepted, and a happy marriage began!
