General Chen Geng can be said to be the most legendary and famous general in China's military history. He was brilliant and used soldiers like gods, and at the age of 13, he divorced his family to enter the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, during which he secretly joined the Communist Party of China, saved Chiang Kai-shek's life during the Eastern Crusade, and participated in the Nanchang Uprising. Whether on the intelligence front or on the battlefield, they have made great achievements and made great achievements; after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have established the Kazakh military industry. From the red agent to the great general, his extraordinary general style has impressed the world.
Chen Geng and Fu Ya
General Chen Geng made outstanding contributions to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people and was praised and loved by the people of the world. His love, marriage, and family life also have a unique style.
One
When Chen Geng was 14 years old, his father forced him to marry a daughter-in-law who was two years older than him. Chen Geng was extremely disgusted by this arranged marriage, resolutely refused to enter the cave room, and asked her father to send her daughter-in-law back to her mother's house. Father Niang refused, and must chen geng and the woman into the cave room, so Chen Geng gambled and ran away from home. Before leaving, he said to the woman, "I'm going outside, I won't come back for the rest of my life, so you can go back to your mother's house." "
In February 1927, after Chen Geng was arranged by the party to study in the Soviet Union and returned to China, he was sent to serve in the Tang Shengzhi Department of the Northern Expeditionary Army. At this time, he met Wang Genying, the female leader of the Shanghai workers' movement.
Wang Genying joined the Communist Party of China in 1925 and was an active participant in the May Thirtieth Movement and one of the 82 deputies to the Five Congresses of the Communist Party of China. On the five majors, the beautiful Wang Genying was favored by Chen Geng. During the meeting, Chen Geng wrote a note to Wang Genying: "Comrade Wang Genying marry me, Chen Geng." As soon as Wang Genying saw it, he tore off the note. Chen Geng wrote another one, and she tore it off again. Chen Geng continued to write the third. Wang Genying got angry and threw the note out the window. Chen Geng was very depressed, so he complained to Deng Yingchao, and Sister Deng smiled and said to Chen Geng: "Talking about love is not a war, are you engaged in a strong attack?" "
However, Wang Genying did not resist Chen Geng's strong attack in the end. Shortly after the Fifth Congress, 24-year-old Chen Geng married 20-year-old Wang Genying. In the revolutionary years that followed, they respected and loved each other, cared for each other, fought side by side in the era of white terror and bloody rain, and made great contributions to the revolutionary cause.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Genying, who had been imprisoned in the enemy's prison for four years, was rescued from prison by our party and came to yan'an to work at the Xinhua Daily to reunite with her husband, who was then the brigade commander of the 386th Brigade. After the meeting, they hugged each other tightly, as Chen Geng wrote in his diary that day: "Gen Ying arrived at the General Political Department of Yunyang from Xi'an, Comrade Xiaoping added dishes to celebrate for us, and opened another room so that we could talk about the night, and its happiness was better than the wedding night in Wuhan in 1927." Gen-young spent four years in prison, preparing for hardships and being coerced and seduced by the enemy. Always adhering to the party's position without wavering made me admire her even more, and from then on, our love became more stable and could never be shaken. "
On March 8, 1939, the 129th Division's garrison was secretly attacked by the Japanese army, and Wang Genying found that a satchel containing important documents in the party was not brought out after the breakthrough, so he resolutely went back to get it, encountered the Japanese army on the way, and unfortunately died heroically, at the age of 32.
After the news of Wang Genying's sacrifice came, Chen Geng, a fierce general who was in the limelight, couldn't help but burst into tears. As soon as he slammed it on the table, the telephone on the table was shaken high, and he shouted, "Genying, I will definitely avenge you!" In his diary that night, Chen Geng wrote: "Today is a day that I must not forget, and it is also the day that I am most miserable." "

After Wang Genying's sacrifice, Chen Geng was in a bad mood. After the victory of the Hundred Regiments, Chen Geng fell ill. He had a high fever day and night, and in his coma, he often shouted: "Gen Ying, Gen Ying!" It seems that the best way to heal Chen Geng's spiritual wounds is to help him find another beloved wife. Luo Ruiqing, director of the Political Department of the Kang Da Who always cared about Chen Geng, entrusted this task to Wang Zhitao, head of the literary and art work group of the Kang Da General School.
In May 1940, the literary and art work troupe of the Kang Da General School came to Panlong Town, Wuxiang County, Shanxi Province to perform. The regimental commander Wang Zhitao sent three unmarried girls in the regiment to a ancestral hall in Panlong Town to get props—this ancestral hall also had an identity, that is, Chen Geng's headquarters.
As Wang Zhitao expected, the three girls "accidentally" met the famous Chen Geng . They had already heard about Chen Geng's many legendary experiences, so they surrounded him and asked him to tell him the story of the battle.
Chen Geng's eloquence and humor were among the best in the Eighth Route Army. Soon, the stories he told captivated the girls. Among the three girls, there was a girl named Fu Ya, who listened intently in the process of Chen Geng's storytelling, and her eyes were full of admiration.
Fu Ya was born in 1918 to a wealthy merchant family in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province. In April 1938, under the influence of his older brother, Fu Ya led his younger brother and sister to Yan'an to participate in the revolution. After studying at Yan'an Kang University for a while, she was assigned to work in the literary troupe and joined the Communist Party of China.
This unexpected encounter with Chen Geng, she was deeply attracted by Chen Geng's frank conversation and bold temperament. At the same time, Fu Ya's beautiful appearance and intelligent and elegant demeanor also deeply attracted Chen Geng.
After several exchanges, Chen Geng, who was about to enter the age of confusion, expressed his admiration for the girl like a young man: "Comrade Fu Ya, I like to make friends, I have many boyfriends, and I have many girlfriends. I wonder if you would like to be my girlfriend? "
Although the cruel war environment makes it impossible for the two to meet often, the common ideals and pursuits have built a bridge of love between them.
Heaven seemed to want to tease the two people, and when their hearts got closer and closer, the superior suddenly informed Chen Geng that Fu Ya's family social relations were complicated, and Chen Geng could not establish a romantic relationship with her. This was really a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Chen Geng. In fact, Fu Ya did not have any problems, but at that time, his eldest brother Fu Sen was under organizational review because of the enemy's frame-up.
Although Chen Geng was depressed, he also had to wait for the results of the organizational review. This delay is two years. One day two years later, Chen Geng returned to Yan'an to report on his work, and was pulled by Comrade Xiaoping to watch the drama "Peacock Flying Southeast" in which Fu Ya participated--Comrade Xiaoping already knew about Chen Geng and Fu Ya, which was deliberately to create an opportunity for them to meet.
When Chen Geng sat down on the stage and watched Fu Ya's Liu Lanzhi played on the stage so sad and mournful, Chen Geng thought of the reality that they could not love, and could not hold back the tears. Deng Xiaoping had always been concerned about Chen Geng and Fu Ya, and he made up his mind to help Chen Geng a little.
After the performance, Deng Xiaoping called the director of the political department of the troupe and emphasized his views: "Fu Ya's family is not from a bad background, it is not that she herself is not good!" Even though her brother was a spy, she was a member of the Communist Party! I think it is possible to approve them to marry and fulfill them! "
Through the efforts of Xiao Pingren, the superiors finally approved the marriage between Chen Geng and Fu Ya.
In February 1943, Fu Ya, who was performing with the troupe in the battlefield, received a call from Chen Geng saying that the organization had agreed to the marriage between the two and asked her to come back immediately to get married. Perhaps out of the girl's reservedness, Fu Ya suddenly panicked, and he was on the phone, but did not immediately agree.
Chen Geng was anxious as soon as he heard this, and said to Fu Ya on the phone: "If the organization has agreed, you should stop being petty-bourgeois!" Come back soon! I'll send a guard to pick you up tomorrow!" "
The next day, Chen Geng studied military affairs with Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping as usual, but today Chen Geng was always ghostly and absent-minded, and even liu Bocheng asked for his opinion several times, as if he had not heard. Liu Shuai felt very strange, so he quietly asked Comrade Xiaoping, and Xiaoping smiled and said, "Fu Ya is about to come and marry Chen Geng soon, how can he hear what you are talking about today?" Liu Bocheng suddenly realized, and then laughed: "No wonder! It turns out that someone is in a hurry to be a groom! You're going to get ready! "
To say that Chen Geng's face was still really "thick", he heard Liu Shuai let himself go, immediately jumped up and ran out of the door, and even li forgot to salute. In this way, through the enthusiastic bridge of Wang Zhitao and Deng Xiaoping and several other red brides, Chen Geng and Fu Ya finally entered the palace of marriage.
Three
On February 25, 1943, Chen Geng married Fu Ya in a hut specially set up for him by Liu and Deng commanders of the 129th Division. At the wedding, in the laughter of the comrades "the bride comes to a song", Fu Ya sang a Soviet folk song, and Liu Shuai forced Chen Geng to tell his love experience. And Chen Geng's exaggerated narration also made the comrades-in-arms laugh one by one and lean forward and backward.
Chen Geng and Fu Ya were very much in love after marriage, although the two could not stay together because of work reasons, but as long as Fu Ya returned from the performance, Chen Geng would always come to the village early to greet him, and also said to his comrades-in-arms with a showy tone: "I will pick up my wife!" "
At that time, it was the time when the War of Resistance Was at its most sticky, and soon after getting married, Chen Geng left Fu Ya to command his troops. Fu Ya was also organizationally arranged to work in the peasant association. She went deep into the countryside, ate and lived with the peasants and worked, helping to carry out the campaign to reduce rents and interest rates. Don't look at her as a student in the city, and her work is not worse than others. She later told Chen Geng that the exercises she had gained from working at the grassroots level had benefited her endlessly throughout her life.
After marrying Chen Geng, Fu Ya and Chen Geng lived a "cowherd weaver girl" style life for a long time. Chen Geng was very busy, even after liberation, he first participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and later prepared to build a Kazakh military industry, and many times he could only tell each other's thoughts through letters. Every time he received a letter from his wife, Chen Geng was like a treasure. On the Korean front, Chen Geng received a letter from Fu Ya and happily said to the chief of staff of the Xie side: "Receiving Fu Ya's letter has made my anxiety for half a month disappear."
Chen Geng worked selflessly for the party, and finally fell ill after accumulating fatigue. On March 16, 1961, Chen Geng died of a myocardial infarction, Fu Ya tightly held Chen Geng's gradually cooling hand, hot tears rolled down her cheeks, she called out her husband's name, but this time Chen Geng did not respond to his wife with a hearty laugh. He was only 58 years old, why did he go in such a hurry?
Grieving the loss of his lover, Fu Ya fell into deep grief. However, according to Chen Geng's last wishes, she sorted out her husband's manuscript and edited it and published it. What is particularly rare is that she also searched around for the parties, looked for materials, and sorted out the deeds of her husband's ex-wife, Wang Genying, and published them, showing her broad mind as the wife of a great general. This is her best consolation for her deceased husband, and it also holds her infinite mourning for her husband.

After her husband's death, Fu Ya also had a heart matter, that is, since she and her younger siblings went to Yan'an, they had lost contact with their families. It wasn't until the eve of liberation that she learned that her parents and family had gone to Taiwan. Through her relationship, she learned that her parents had a hard time in Taiwan, that the family had only one room, and that life was very difficult. However, the Taiwan authorities have also forced the common people to buy public bonds, and their parents have no money to buy them, making life extremely difficult. Fu Ya then reported to Ye Shuai, and with the help of the Southern Bureau, sent some money to his parents in Taiwan through his relatives in Hong Kong to solve their living problems.
What Fu Ya did not expect was that her sister was accused by the Taiwan authorities of being "a general communist" after she went to collect these remittance slips, so she was imprisoned for 10 years. After learning of this, Fu Ya washed her face with tears for a long time, but in that era, she had no choice but to take a family portrait every day, and it was most of the day. She has been thinking that our army has liberated the mainland and that it will certainly not be too long to liberate Taiwan. Unexpectedly, what waited in the end was the ashes of my parents.
During the "Cultural Revolution," Fu Ya became a "special suspect" in the eyes of some people because of this "issue of overseas relations," and was slandered as a "spy" who stole documents from Taiwan, and was treated unfairly. Later, it was Premier Zhou and Wang Zhen who came forward to protect her, allowing her to survive those turbulent years safely.
In 1980, Fu Ya finally received a letter from Taiwan's little sister. She hurriedly put on her glasses and looked at them word for word, afraid of missing a word. The little sister told her in the letter that her parents had died, and their last wish was to bury their ashes in their hometown after death.
After reading the letter, Fu Ya couldn't help but cry loudly. She hadn't seen her parents since she separated from her parents in the thirties, which made her feel very uncomfortable. The little sister has settled in the United States, and she also misses her relatives in her hometown and hopes to come back to see. Fu Ya then wrote back to tell the little sister that he missed her very much and wanted her to come back and see. In 1984, her little sister finally came to Beijing from the United States. At that time, Fu Ya, who was hospitalized, quickly pulled out the needle and rushed to the airport to pick up his sister.
When they separated from their little sister, she was only 8 years old; when they met again, little sister also became an old lady. From his younger sister, Fu Ya learned about the family's situation in Taiwan for more than 30 years, especially his parents were particularly concerned about him, until his death, his eyes were not closed. Father was very fond of the mainland, and before he died, he asked him to put his ashes into a jar and throw them into the sea, and drift back to his hometown with the waves.
In order to fulfill his parents' wishes, Fu Ya decided to transport his parents' ashes back to the mainland. She applied to the relevant departments to go to Taiwan and was approved. In 1986, her younger sister escorted her parents' ashes from Taiwan to Beijing via the United States. Fu Ya held her parents' urn in her arms, and the tears spilled on the urn like rain, and soon the urn was wet with her tears. She buried the ashes of her parents together on the banks of West Lake in Hangzhou, fulfilling the old man's last wishes.
Until his death in 2010, Fu Ya had to take taiwanese relatives to the mainland every year. She said that she was old and might not see the day when the motherland would be reunified, but she still hoped that the motherland would be reunified as soon as possible and that thousands of families in the world who were blocked by the strait would be reunited.
On January 4, 2010, the 92-year-old Fu Ya left, and she finally went to heaven to meet Chen Geng. I believe that there, they will continue their legend. Before her death, she made a special will, hoping to move the tomb of General Chen Geng from Babaoshan Cemetery and bury Chen Geng with the martyr Wang Genying. Although this will did not become a reality, it made Fu Ya's personality even greater.
