Jiang Zhujun (1920-1949), Jiang Jie is her affectionate name, formerly known as Jiang Zhiwei, a native of Sichuan, was born on August 20, 1920 in Jiangjiawan, Dashanpu Town, Da'an District, Zigong City, Sichuan Province.
He joined the party in 1939, married Peng Yongwu in 1945, and after his marriage was responsible for the organization and distribution of the underground publication of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, "Zhenjin Bao". In 1948, Peng Yongwu was killed in battle as a member of the Provisional Committee of the Eastern Sichuan Committee and deputy secretary of the Lower Sichuan Eastern Prefectural Committee, and Jiang Zhujun took over his work. On June 14, 1948, Jiang Zhujun was arrested in Wanxian County, imprisoned in Chongqing Juntong Zhadong Prison, tortured and still not telling the truth, and on November 14, 1949, he was killed by the enemy and his body was destroyed.
Before her execution, Jiang Jie wrote a red suicide note to Guo Guo, using chopsticks to grind into bamboo skewers as a pen, and making ink from cotton ash, which became the last song of her life.
When a friend told me about your recent situation, I felt very uncomfortable. The burden on you by your sister and two children is indeed too heavy, especially in the current price situation, with your only income, I don't know how much you have been dragged down. In addition to being sad, there is only hatred... I guess you would never complain about the child's dad and me, right? The days of suffering are coming to an end, and I cannot deliver on anything but the day of hope that will come soon. Andy! It's really too hard for you.
I have the confidence to win and live, and since the day I was imprisoned (arrested last June), I have made up my mind to go to prison for two years, and now that the situation has changed, it is possible to get out of prison at the end of the year.
If you are unlucky, Yun Er will send you, hoping to follow in the footsteps of your parents, to build a new China, and to fight to the end for the cause of the communist revolution.
Children should never be arrogant (petite), and it is enough to take a rough and light meal. Is Sister Mo still in Chongqing? If you are there, Yun'er can save a fee without having to send a nursery. What do you think? That's it. May we meet soon. Shake goodbye. May you all be healthy.
The letter was altered in many places and stored in the Three Gorges Museum, and it was not until November 14, 2007, the 58th anniversary of Sister Jiang's death, that the long-hidden secret was revealed to the world. Iron bone tenderness, in this letter, Sister Jiang mentioned her child Yun'er many times, the price is a mother needs to deal with reality, giving away the child is a mother can make anyone move the heartache, "rough clothes and light food is enough" has become a mother's helpless sadness. "Meet" and "hold goodbye" are twisted into a rope, making it strong and giving it strength but it is the blood and tears of heroes.
The letter was written by Sister Jiang to Tan Zhu'an, the younger brother of her husband Peng Yongwu's ex-wife. Peng Yongwu (1915-1948), joined the Party in 1938, served as the secretary of the Yunyang County Party Committee in 1940, and was transferred to Chongqing As the first member of the following year, responsible for organizing propaganda work, leading the Chongqing Student Movement and the Progressive Newspaper. In 1945, he married Sister Jiang in an underground struggle. In order to welcome the liberation of the whole country, in October 1947, the organization decided that he would serve as a member of the Provisional Working Committee of Chuandong, deputy secretary of the Xiachuandong Prefectural Working Committee, and go to Xiachuandong to organize and lead the armed struggle as the political commissar of the guerrilla column. In January 1948, when he led a guerrilla group to break through the dark hole at the junction of Feng and Wu, he sacrificed his life to cover his comrades.
Once upon a time, there was a marriage between Peng Yongwu and Sister Jiang before they became partners, and some people may have considered the glorious deeds that affected the hero, which was rarely mentioned in the promotional materials of that year. But now it seems that this experience can make the hero's image more full, and people at the moment can understand it.
Peng Yongwu's first wife was named Tan Zhenglun, and before he met and fell in love with Sister Jiang, he had been married to Tan Zhenglun for 8 years, and they also had a son, named Peng Bingzhong. In the summer of 1944, Jiang Jie was arranged by the organization to study at the College of Agriculture of Sichuan University and engage in secret work. After joining the party, according to the requirements of the organization, he and Peng Yongwu pretended to be husband and wife, formed a "family", and served as a secret organ of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and a counseling center for underground party members to study. Peng Yongwu, on the other hand, threw himself into revolutionary work and ran around, losing contact with his wife Tan Zhenglun in his hometown for many years. During this period, the area around Yunyang was heavily bombed by the Japanese, and there was news that his wife and children in his hometown of Yunyang County had been killed in the bombardment.
In the days of pretending to be husband and wife, Peng Yongwu and Sister Jiang had feelings by getting along, covering each other, and working around with the enemy, and in 1945, with the approval of the organization, they officially married. A year later, their son Peng Yun was born. When giving birth, Sister Jiang, who was studying at Sichuan University, had difficulty giving birth, and the female classmates in the class sent her to the hospital, because Peng Yongwu was not around, and in order to no longer be dragged down by the child in the future, she took it upon herself to make two surgeries, caesarean section and sterilization. Peng Yongwu arrived and saw Sister Jiang and her newborn son Peng Yun, and couldn't help but admire Sister Jiang, a woman with a weak appearance but a strong heart.
It was during this period that Tan Zhenglun sent his younger brother Tan Zhu'an to Chongqing to inquire about her husband. One day at the end of 1946, Peng Yongwu suddenly heard someone calling his former name on the street, and he was startled by the solidity, and he saw that it was his wife and brother. Subsequently, Peng Yongwu learned of Tan Zhenglun's recent situation, and Tan Zhu'an also learned that his brother-in-law had married someone else. Although Tan Zhu'an was a progressive youth who had joined the revolution at that time, he still had a grudge against his brother-in-law's other marriage, and Peng Yongwu also fell into great guilt because of this matter.
Tell your sister about your brother-in-law? After some consideration, Tan Zhu'an decided to put this aside beforehand, and he himself participated in the revolutionary work in Chongqing. Soon, Tan Zhu'an came to an underground party organization contact point to contact the work, and the person who received him was Sister Jiang. Tan Zhu'an did not know this, and felt that the other party was easy-going and enthusiastic, so he sat down and talked with the other party. When talking about Peng Yongwu, Tan Zhu'an couldn't help but mix some complaints and even disrespect in his personal emotions. The other party listened quietly, smiled slightly, and waited for Tan Zhu'an to finish before telling him that he was the woman who married Peng Yongwu. Tan Zhu'an was embarrassed, and the other party said: "If the revolution is victorious and we are all still alive, I will handle this relationship well... At that point, if your sister still needs it, I'll consider returning your brother-in-law to her..."
Tan Zhu'an was so stunned that he could not speak, and the other party said: "Actually, your brother-in-law's guilt in this matter is deeper than mine... We all thought that she and the child were no longer alive..." Suddenly, Tan Zhu'an felt that Sister Jiang in front of him had become taller, and heard her continue: "Neither my brother-in-law nor you can stand up to your sister, but this matter may only be handled after the victory of the revolution..." Understanding rose slowly from Tan Zhu'an at that moment, he suddenly stood up, grabbed Sister Jiang's hand, and emotionally called Sister Jiang "Sister." Since then, Sister Jiang and Tan Zhu'an have begun to be called brothers and sisters, and in the revolutionary era, because her husband has another brother of affection. She said that although she had not met her husband's ex-wife Tan Zhenglun, she always believed that she could become the best sister with Tan Zhenglun.
This is the love in the revolutionary years, because of the closure of the cruel reality, although people have a combination of yin and yang, but the understanding and tolerance of each other is touching and respectful. In October 1947, Peng Yongwu was ordered to return to Xiachuandong to organize an armed rebellion, and Sister Jiang was determined to go with her to assist Peng Yongwu. But at the time, their child, Peng Yun, was only 1 year old and needed a reliable person to take care of him. Thinking about it, Sister Jiang made a decision that surprised Peng Yongwu deeply: entrust Peng Yun to Tan Zhenglun! She was convinced that Tan Zhenglun would definitely help her and Peng Yongwu at this critical moment. Peng Yunhui later recalled: "In October 1947, my mother wrote a letter to Mother Tan (Tan Zhenglun), which not only gave everything out, but also asked Mother Tan to come to Chongqing as soon as possible to take care of me. That was the only correspondence between my two moms. ”
The letter was later transferred to Tan Zhenglun by Tan Zhu'an, who took her son Peng Bingzhong to wait for her husband in her hometown for several years, but what she did not expect was the news that her husband was married to someone else, and now she was asked to take the children born to her husband and others. Tan Zhenglun cried, but after crying, he felt that both her husband Peng Yongwu and her husband's current wife, Sister Jiang, were right, and the child was even more innocent, and decided to leave for Chongqing. In February 1948, Tan Zhenglun took Peng Yun from the family of Sister Jiang's foster and began to hide. The enemy tried to capture Peng Yunwei and force Sister Jiang to obey, but Tan Zhenglun successfully escaped.
In this process, Tan Zhenglun did not know that her husband Peng Yongwu and Sister Jiang had successively become righteous for the revolutionary cause, and after the founding of New China in 1949, she carried Peng Yun, who was only more than 3 years old, and several "registration offices for comrades who escaped from danger" were set up in Chongqing at that time, one by one, looking for Peng Yongwu and Sister Jiang, but none of them were found. Later, after many inquiries, Tan Zhenglun finally got the bad news that Sister Jiang was in the "Sino-US Cooperation Institute Concentration Camp" in Gele Mountain, and she cried and said to Peng Yun: "Child, your mother is gone, but your father is still there, we will definitely be able to find him..." And then buried Peng Yun behind his back to find the place where many martyrs were killed, and finally learned the news that her husband died as early as a year ago.
This time, Tan Zhenglun did not cry, but silently carried Peng Yun back to his hometown and raised him with his son Peng Bingzhong. Later, Peng Yongwu and Sister Jiang became the prototypes of the characters in the novel "Red Rock", and became great heroes that all the Chinese admired and respected, but Tan Zhenglun has been doing his best to raise the orphans of martyrs and educate them all into excellent talents. Peng Bingzhong later became a professor and master tutor of Sichuan University, and in 1992, he was awarded a special government allowance by the State Council and made his own contribution to the application research of microcomputers. Peng Yun was admitted to the Harbin Military Engineering Institute in 1965 and was assigned to work in a factory in Shenyang after graduating in 1970. In 1973, Peng Yun married Yi Xiaoye, a university classmate working in Beijing, and was transferred to a research institute of the Beijing Fourth Machine Department. In 1977, after the resumption of the college entrance examination and the postgraduate examination, he was admitted as a graduate student of the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with excellent results. Subsequently, he was admitted to the first batch of public students to go to the United States, and studied at Michigan Wayne State University and the University of Maryland, where he obtained master's and doctoral degrees.
Referring to Tan Zhenglun, Peng Yun said: "Although sometimes when I mention it to others, in order to distinguish my biological mother, I call her Tan Mother, but in fact, my relationship with Tan Mother is no different from that of my biological mother and son, I have always called her Mother." Tan Zhenglun retired and lived with Peng Bingzhong in Chengdu, Peng Yun's son Zhuangzhuang was born in 1974, and in 1976, Tan Zhenglun prepared to come to Beijing to see his grandson. Relatives and friends traveled for Tan Zhenglun in Chengdu, but she died of sudden high blood pressure. Peng Yun said that year, he was only 59 years old.
An ordinary woman has thus achieved a widely known hero with a broad mind, and our nation and country are always like this: while the cause of the revolution is followed by the hero, the hero also stands behind the hero, although silent, but more worthy of people's respect. In 2007, Peng Yun said in an interview with reporters: "Once I went to the Zha di cave to hold a commemorative event, and somehow I was recognized as Sister Jiang's son. For safety reasons, a male classmate in the class quickly changed into my clothes and glasses and 'adjusted the bag' with me, and we successfully 'broke through'. As for him, although he settled in the United States and became a tenured professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, he only half of Jiang Jie's last wish, but later he let his son return to China and devote himself to the construction of the motherland. Presumably, at this time, Sister Jiang and her husband Peng Yongwu will definitely be able to smile at Jiuquan.
