In 1992, in the 31st year of General Chen Geng's death, His wife Fu Ya, who had been in love with him for 18 years and accompanied him to the end of his life, suddenly made a strange decision: "Leave the mainland and go to Taiwan!" Although the people around her did not understand too much, they still failed to change her choice.
What is even more unexpected is that although Fu Ya returned to the mainland in her later years, on her deathbed, she could have been buried with General Chen Geng, but she told her children who were guarding the bedside: "After I die, don't bury me and your father together." ”
From the accidental encounter in the revolutionary period, to entering the marriage hall, and then to the later work cooperation, the two have always had a tacit understanding of love. In the last years of General Chen Geng's life, Fu Ya was always by his side. In 1982, 21 years after the death of General Chen, Fu Ya had been fulfilling her husband's last wish before his death, and by sorting out the diary manuscripts, he integrated the actual records of the war and valuable materials of General Chen Geng's life, and the "Diary of Chen Geng" was circulated throughout the country!
But why did such a loving couple leave a will before Fu Ya died and unwilling to be buried with General Chen Geng? 31 years after General Chen's death, why did she choose to go to Taiwan? What is the hidden story here?
The second half of life to rely on
In 1992, the Party Central Committee received a letter of request for help, hoping that the government would help it retrieve the ashes of his deceased parents who remained in Taiwan, signed by an elderly man named Fu Ya. After learning that Fu Ya was the widow of the founding general Chen Geng, the Party Central Committee immediately coordinated the matter and finally succeeded in returning the ashes of his parents to the mainland for burial.
Speaking of Fu Ya, in an interview in her later years, she once revealed her family situation: "Her hometown is Shangyu County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, her father is Shaoxing's master, her mother is a big girl in Suzhou, and there are 4 brothers and 6 sisters in the family." ”
It can be seen that Fu Ya's origin is very good. Born in 1918, she has a very high level of ideological awareness since she was a child. During her studies, she witnessed the darkness of Chinese society under the rule of warlords, and she was determined to pursue progressive ideas, and actively participated in various patriotic movements to resist the dictatorship of the reactionary government. In 1938, at the recommendation of her brother Fu Sen, she went to Yan'an to participate in the revolution. It was during this period that she met General Chen Geng who had been with her all her life.
When Fu Ya was in Yan'an, he was first arranged to study at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and after graduating from the Anti-Japanese University, according to the requirements of the organization, he was assigned to work in the cultural and labor troupe and became an artistic worker. Also two years later, in 1940, during a normal performance, because of the appearance of a person, she and Chen Geng formed an indissoluble relationship.
In May 1940, Fu Ya went to Panlong Town, Wuxiang, Shanxi Province, with the Kang Da General Political Troupe to perform, and Chen Geng was also recuperating in this town due to injury and illness. The leader of the cultural and labor troupe is called Wang Zhitao, and Chen Geng has many years of comradeship, and the two can be said to be very good friends.
On this day, Wang Zhitao took advantage of the rest time to go back to his hometown to get things, and just happened to hear that his old friend Chen Geng was also healing here, so he turned to visit. After the two met, they first asked for warmth, and then talked about some past events, at which time Wang Zhitao suddenly asked: "You see if there is still a lack of anything, tell me if you need it, everything within my ability can be solved." ”
Hearing his old friend say this, Chen Geng also smiled: "I don't lack anything now." After saying that, he paused for a moment, and then quipped, "I'm missing a daughter-in-law right now." Then the two looked at each other and smiled. But Chen Geng couldn't have imagined that he was just saying it casually, and he didn't expect that Wang Zhitao was really serious.
After returning home, Wang Zhitao told his wife Wu Jing about this matter, hoping that her wife would come up with an idea. Coincidentally, Wu Jing and Fu Ya in the literary troupe were classmates, so they deliberately matched it. A few days later, Wang Zhitao took Fu Ya and some other colleagues to visit Chen Geng again to see the performance.
In the eyes of almost all the anti-university students at that time, Chen Geng was a very great hero with great military achievements, so when the people of the literary and labor troupe saw Chen Geng, they all sat around him and wanted to hear the story of him fighting and killing devils.
Seeing that the students were so enthusiastic, Chen Geng was not easy to resign, so he casually told a plot of the battle of Huichang, he said: "After being injured at that time, he did not want to be a prisoner of the enemy, so he had suicidal thoughts, but he thought about it again, now that he is still young, if he dies like this, he is too embarrassed, it is better to live, and he can continue to fight for the cause of communism, so he lay down and pretended to die, and only then did he survive." ”
Hearing this, perhaps touched by Chen Geng's revolutionary complex, Fu Ya gradually became fascinated, and it was then that she knew what kind of unforgettable experience the heroes had, and she admired Chen Geng even more in her heart, believing that Chen Geng was a person worthy of trust.
Later, Wang Zhitao also specifically asked Chen Geng if he had a girl he liked, and Chen Geng understood that the original performance was deliberately arranged, and he said without any hesitation: "The girl in the middle." This person is Fu Ya. However, although the two people have a good feeling for each other in their hearts, their love has gone very hard, what is going on?
It turned out that Chen Geng had first expressed his love to Fu Ya, but Fu Ya refused him because he had a marriage contract with his cousin. Later, because of his cousin's political stance, Fu Ya gave up this marriage and chose to walk with Chen Geng. However, just as the relationship between the two was developing steadily and moving in a good direction, an accident suddenly occurred, causing their marriage to have to be postponed, or even almost strangled in the cradle.
During the war, in accordance with the requirements of the Party organization, in order to ensure the absolute purity of our Party and the absolute loyalty of Party members, the marriage of Party members needs to be reported to the organization first, and Chen Geng, as a well-known general, is naturally no exception. When he handed over the information of the two, he was told by the party organization that the two could not establish a romantic relationship because Fu Ya was suspected of being a spy!
This result was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which Chen Geng could not accept for a while. He couldn't figure out why Fu Ya, who had graduated from the Kang University and had been working in the Cultural and Labor Corps, had this suspicion, and even once wondered if the party organization had made a mistake.
So he looked around for someone to understand the reason, and finally learned that Fu Ya's brother Fu Sen was a secret agent, and his family, including Fu Ya, had to be suspected. Until Fu Ya's own political position was clarified, the two could not really enter the palace of marriage. In desperation, they can only temporarily reduce their contact with each other and devote themselves to their work.
Finally, three years later, in 1943, the matter took a turn for the better. At that time, Fu Ya was invited by Chen Geng to perform in the 129 Troupe, and she chose to perform "Peacock Flying Southeast" to express her unfortunate encounter of being forced to disperse with her lover, which also made Chen Geng in the audience feel deeply grateful and could not help but burst into tears.
And this scene happened to be seen by the political commissar at that time, Deng Xiaoping, so Deng Gong took the initiative to send a telegram to the Political Department: "One of the two is staged on stage, and the other is crying offstage, even if her brother is a secret agent, but Fu Ya himself is a communist, let the Yan'an side complete them." ”
It was also thanks to Deng Gong's telegram that in early February, Chen Geng received the news that the central government had "agreed to marry the two.". So on the 25th of that month, the two finally walked together after experiencing many hardships.
Later, because of their work, the two often gathered less and left more, but the two knew what the other was busy with and did not disturb each other's work. Even when the comrades of the Central Committee proposed to transfer Fu Ya to Chen Geng's side, Chen Geng refused, for the simple reason that the two had already agreed: "Each other will not interfere in each other's work, and support each other's work." ”
However, such an enviable love always had a hidden obstacle in Fu Ya's heart, so that later, before Fu Ya died, he told his children in front of the bed: "Don't bury me and your father together after I die." Why did Fu Ya leave such a last word? What's the secret in between?
Ten years of life and death are vague, not thinking, unforgettable
Speaking of Fu Ya's last wish in his later years, this is actually related to another woman. In fact, at the beginning of Chen Geng's participation in the revolution, there was a vigorous relationship, and this person was Wang Genying, a student of Chen Geng. In 1923, when Chen Geng was still working as a teacher at a night school, he was extremely appreciative of the talent of his student Wang Genying, and even fell in love with her at first sight.
To this end, Chen Geng also boldly confessed to Wang Genying, but unfortunately was rejected. Later, because the night school was blocked, the contact between the two became less and less. However, due to the favor of Heaven, the two met again because of one thing and finally succeeded in coming together.
At the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party in 1927, Chen Geng and Wang Genying met unexpectedly, and in Chen Geng's heart, he met a lover who had not been seen for a long time, or there were some waves, so after the meeting, he continued to write love letters to Wang Genying, but he was rejected by Wang Genying again and again, and even posted the love letters that Chen Geng wrote to her.
By chance, Premier Zhou learned of this situation and deliberately matched the two, and finally the two went to the palace of marriage. Unfortunately, the love run between the two has just begun, and it is broken by a sudden accident...
In March 1939, the Japanese army carried out a fierce bombardment of the supply department of the 129th Division where Wang Genying and Chen Geng were located, and Wang Genying, who was in charge of document management at the time, luckily escaped, but she found that there were still some important documents that had not been rescued, so she rushed into the house desperately to protect the documents, and unfortunately was killed by the Japanese army at the age of 32, and this year was the 12th year they were together.
Chen Geng, who was outside commanding the battle, cried bitterly after learning the bad news, and sadly said the oath that "this day will be a day I will never forget, and I will keep the festival for her for three years." This is also a big reason why Chen Geng is reluctant to find a daughter-in-law again.
Later, after meeting his second wife Fu Ya, Chen Geng also mentioned to Fu Ya the story of him and his ex-wife Wang Genying. Out of understanding and recognition, Fu Ya felt that Wang Genying was worthy of respect, and Chen Geng would not forget his first wife. Therefore, he will sacrifice himself on his deathbed and not let his children bury themselves with Chen Geng in the hope of filling Chen Geng's inner regrets.
In his later years, he went to Taiwan and burst into tears
In 1980, Fu Ya received a letter from Taiwan, sent by his sister, with some current situation and last words about his parents, which made Fu Ya miserable and could not help but fall into unforgettable memories.
In fact, in Fu Ya's heart, there has always been an obsession, that is, her parents. Because she had participated in the revolution in her early years, in that era, she still did not know anything about the future, so in order not to involve her family, she chose to unilaterally cut off contact with her family.
After the founding of New China, she began to search for the whereabouts of her family. After many inquiries, there was finally news. It turned out that her identity was discovered by the Kuomintang, so when she fled to Taiwan, she detained her parents in Taiwan. From the letter sent by her sister, she learned that her parents' greatest wish in life was to be able to return to the mainland and return to their hometown. To this end, she made a bizarre move.
Thus, there is a scene at the beginning of the video. In 1992, the 31st year after the death of General Chen Geng, she resolutely chose to go to Taiwan to meet her sister, hoping to bring back the ashes of her parents. However, due to the reasons of cross-strait relations in the Taiwan Strait at that time, it could not be realized in the end. In desperation, she could only seek help from the central government.
After the Party Central Committee understood the reason for the incident, it was moved by her actions and past experiences, and finally after making many negotiations with the Taiwan side, it welcomed back the ashes of the second elder and realized their last wish to return to the roots of the fallen leaves.
Looking back on Fu Ya's life again, it can be said that she has gone through ups and downs, but she has always been silently dedicating herself. When she was young, she resolutely joined the army and dedicated her life to the motherland, and when she became an adult, she dedicated her love to Chen Geng and even proposed not to be buried with him to complete others. In her later years, she helped Chen Geng sort out and publish the "Diary of Chen Geng", and carried out many charity activities to dedicate her last glimmer of light to the people. And she herself remained poor all her life.
Fu Ya used his life to leave a strong mark in history. But she never asked for anything in return. Pouring out herself and dedicating her life is the tenderness she has carved in her bones, let us pay tribute to this old predecessor!
