For a mother, the most painful thing is to watch her children suffer, as Chen Ruoke, a female Red Army soldier who was unfortunately arrested in November 1941, was caught during the Japanese army sweeping the Yimeng Mountains.
At that time, because she was pregnant, she lost contact with the troops on the march, and was unfortunately arrested by the Japanese army, and on the night of her arrest, the Japanese army tied her hands with wire, severely tortured her, beat her all over the body, and almost blinded one eye.
Under the torment of pain, her child was born prematurely, giving birth to a thin baby girl, and when the Japanese army escorted her to the Yi Headquarters, these mad guys threw her newborn daughter into the horse material bag, dry horse grass, and the baby girl cried desperately.
Chen Ruoke, who was trapped in the saddle with both hands and feet, could only watch his daughter suffer and watch her cry for more than 100 miles...
Chen Ruoke, whose ancestral home is Shunde, Guangdong, was born in Shanghai, her father was a newspaper clerk, her mother was a maid, when she was a child, she once attended primary school for a year and a half, because she was silent, her classmates gave her the nickname "Little Dumb".
During her elementary school, her father died, which put the family that was not rich in trouble, in order to live, the young Chen Ruoke had to follow her mother into the factory as a child laborer, heavy physical labor, so that she fell into a body of disease, stomach disease, anemia, emphysema, tormented her in pain.
When Chen Ruoke was older, she entered the workers' night school and actively participated in the workers' movement, at this time, her personality also changed, facing the capitalists and factory owners, she had no fear, and gradually made a name for herself among the workers.
Because of her excellent performance, in August 1936, she became a party member, after the outbreak of the war of aggression against China, Shanghai fell, she followed the factory to move to Wuhan, because of the wrong joint, she lost contact with the organization, for this reason, she disregarded the hardships, planned to go to Yan'an to find the organization, unfortunately, when she went to Linfen, Shanxi, because of the war, she had no choice but to return.
Soon, she set off for Yan'an again, found the party organization on the way, and entered the North China Military and Political Cadre School to study, where she met and fell in love with Zhu Rui, the principal of her 14-year-old school, and on July 7, 1938, the two were engaged, and on August 1, the two were married.
The reason why they chose these two days was because they decided to link everything they had, even their lives, with the future of the Chinese revolution and the destiny of the nation.
After marriage, Zhu Rui and Chen Ruoke lived a very happy life, the elder 14-year-old Zhu Rui, Chen Ruoke loved chen to the extreme, from Shanghai she is very fashionable, wearing Lenin clothes, leather jackets, leather coats, is a beautiful scenery, comrades always say that It is Zhu Rui who spoiled Chen Ruoke, whenever he hears these words, Chen Ruoke is always full of pride.
In June 1939, under the arrangement of the organization, Zhu Rui and Chen Ruoke entered Shandong, and Zhu Rui served as the secretary of the Shandong sub-bureau, the political commissar of the first column of the Eighth Route Army, and the secretary of the Shandong Military Region Committee, while Chen Ruoke served as a member of the Women's Committee of the Shandong Sub-bureau and a member of the Standing Committee of the Women's Salvation Congress.
At that time, it was the most difficult stage of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, and the comrades in Shandong not only had to wage a fierce struggle against the Japanese and the Japanese, but also engaged in friction and actively opposed communism, and in order to better build the base area, Zhu Rui and Chen Ruoke were almost busy without touching the ground, until the 3rd year of marriage, the two had love crystals.
Unfortunately, under the crazy sweep of the Japanese Kou, Chen Ruoke after childbirth was very weak, and the child also died early due to ineffective treatment for serious illness.
The premature death of the child is a huge blow to Zhu Rui and Chen Ruoke, looking at the weak wife, Zhu Rui is heartbroken, meticulous and considerate care, which makes Chen Ruoke quickly come out of grief, optimistic in nature, she also comforted her husband: "There is no great difficulty in addition to death, I have long been prepared for death, and it is very glorious to dedicate myself to the revolution." ”。
Although Chen Ruoke was very weak after the death of her child, when she still insisted on her work, she actively mobilized middle-aged and elderly women, participated in the Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress, mobilized young women, established the Women's Youth Association, organized sister theater troupes, led women to perform dramas and street dramas for the revolutionary masses, personally wrote teaching materials, set up literacy classes, and improved women's cultural level.
In addition, she also founded publications such as "Shandong Women" and "Women's Handbook" to encourage the women masses to actively play the role of "half the sky", publicize the freedom of marriage, equality between men and women, and oppose the sale of marriage, abuse of women and other evils.
Thanks to Chen Ruoke's efforts, the women's movement and women's work in the Shandong base areas have achieved outstanding results.
At the beginning of 1941, Chen Ruoke became pregnant again, which made the couple happy, but unfortunately, before the child was born, rikou launched a dragnet sweep of the Yimeng base area.
On November 7, the Japanese army launched a bombing of Dagu Mountain, when Chen Ruoke, with some female comrades hiding in the cave, the rumble of the artillery fire made the fetus in Chen Ruoke's abdomen very uneasy, constantly "tossing", which also caused Chen Ruoke to suffer more and more pain, but she could only endure, because this is really not the time to give birth.
At midnight, the Japanese army rushed up the mountain, ready to search the mountain to arrest people, after learning the news, Chen Ruoke and others decided to break through, but the heavy body coupled with the pain, so that Chen Ruoke walked more and more slowly, gradually lost contact with the shortlisted troops, and then, she was caught by the Japanese army, so there was the opening scene of the article.
After being brought back by the Japanese army, Chen Ruoke faced a harsher interrogation, but she was always unyielding, and when the Japanese army asked her what she was doing, Chen Ruoke replied loudly: "It is anti-Japanese." ”。
When the Japanese army asked her husband what she was doing, Chen Ruoke replied, "It's just to beat you!" ”。
Chen Ruoke's answer made the Japanese army jump like thunder, picked up the red soldering iron, and greeted Chen Ruoke's chest and face, even so, she still clenched her teeth and did not want to tell the secret of the organization.
They brought a bottle of milk and wanted Chen Ruoke to surrender to them for his daughter, but Chen Ruoke didn't want to think about it, so he smashed the bottle to show his determination.
Chen Ruoke is not distressed about his daughter? Of course not, looking at the thin and weak daughter, Chen Ruoke was heartbroken, she bit her finger, put the blood into her daughter's mouth, and whispered: "Child, you came to the world, did not eat a mouthful of mother's milk, you are going to leave this world, you will suck a mouthful of your mother's blood..."
Knowing that her time was short, Chen Ruoke was not afraid, but she took the time to use her clothes to make a small hat with a five-pointed star for her daughter.
On November 26, Chen Ruoke walked to the execution ground with his daughter held his head held high, and the mother and daughter died heroically, when Chen Ruoke was only 22 years old.
Because of chen Ruoke's contribution to the revolution, a local citizen secretly transported the remains of Chen Ruoke's mother and son back despite the danger, and The Yimeng Red Sister-in-law Wang Yu dressed them in tears, changed into birthday clothes, and sold their property, bought a large coffin and a small coffin, and buried them.
On the day of the burial, Zhu Rui finally came to see his wife and daughter for the last time, and how much heartache he had at that time could be imagined.
On July 7, 1942, on the wedding anniversary of Chen Ruoke and Zhu Rui, Zhu Rui wrote a "Tribute to Chen Ruoke" to remember his deceased wife and daughter who died shortly after the afterlife.
In October 1948, 7 years after the death of his beloved wife, Zhu Rui was also killed in the Liaoshen Campaign, at the age of 43...
