In 1946,
Dong Jianmin, a female confidential officer of the Confidential Section of the Social Department of the CPC Central Committee, and Zhong Qi, a lover and colleague and communist party member, took their two-year-old child, assigned by their superiors, to carry confidential documents from Yan'an to the northeast to prepare for the upcoming liberation war.
They sat on it
A steamship bound for the northeast of Dalian, facing a search by Kuomintang agents, confidential personnel Dong Jianmin
Looking at the husband
Zhong Qi
say:
"I'd rather sacrifice my whole family's life than let this confidential document fall into the hands of the enemy."
The two looked at each other, hugged each other with their children and jumped into the bottomless Bohai Sea.
That year, she was 23 years old, her husband Zhong Qi was 25 years old, and their children had just turned two years old.
In 1923, Dong Jianmin was born in Jinghai County, Hebei Province, her parents were farmers, and they relied on the sky to eat, coupled with the turmoil of the times, making the honest Dong Jianmin family living very poor.
Because his family was very poor and could not even solve the problem of eating, Dong Jianmin dropped out of school and returned home at a very young age.
Although Dong Jianmin understood the suffering of the family, he was also very disappointed. She didn't want to spend her life in obscurity.
The father saw that his daughter was so eager to read, and after much deliberation, decided to send her to his literate brother Dong Qiusi to study with him. Dong Qiusi is an excellent underground member of the Communist Party of China.
Dong Jianmin followed her uncle to learn knowledge, she saw publications and books full of patriotic feelings, and came into contact with the red ideas of communism. Gradually, enthusiasm for the revolution and the motherland did not fear sacrifice.
At the age of 16,
Dong Jianmin told his uncle,
She's going to fight in the army, she's going to fight devils. Although her body is thin, her eyes reveal determination and determination. Dong Jingqiu saw that the time was ripe, so he decided to take her to Yan'an. In this way, Dong Jianmin said goodbye to his father with his sister, and followed his uncle on a boat south from Hebei to Yan'an.
In 1940, under the leadership of Dong Qiusi, Dong Jianmin gloriously became a communist party member and was favored by the confidential department with his intelligence. Although they did not kill the enemy on the front line of the battlefield, although they did not experience a rain of bullets and bullets, they were also ready to sacrifice at any time. They are no less dangerous than their comrades who charge on the battlefield.
Dong Jianmin was quick-witted, eclectic, and had his own ideas, and soon received unanimous praise from the members of the Confidential Division. Here, she not only intercepted the telegram many times, but also met Zhong Qi, who is worth accompanying her for a lifetime, which can be described as a double harvest of love.
In 1942, Zhong Qi and Dong Jianmin held a simple wedding in a cave, and the wedding witness was Li Kenong, who was then the deputy director of the Central Social Security Department.
Li Kenong looked at the couple,
He sighed: "The development of the revolutionary forces is very strong!" "
After the wedding, Dong Jianmin looked at her husband and said: "If, we really have any accidents at that time, remember, we must protect confidential documents, and nothing else matters."
After marriage, they encouraged each other in work, helped each other in learning, and considerate each other in life, and were constantly praised by leaders and comrades.
A year later, Dong Jianmin gave birth to a healthy daughter.
After the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, the Party Central Committee made a strategic decision to strive for the northeast and establish a consolidated northeast base area, and established the Northeast Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and dispatched a large number of cadres and troops to march into the northeast. Dong Jianmin and Zhong Qi were sent by the party organization to work in the Northeast Bureau.
One day in 1946, Li Kenong, then minister of the Central Ministry of Social Affairs, took Zhong Qi and zhong
supervise
Jianmin called to the office, and there was another young man in the house. Li Kenong said:
"We are ready to engage in a great showdown with the Kuomintang in the northeast, and in order to strengthen the command and liaison work in the northeast battlefield, we have decided to send the two of you to carry the secret code to the Dalian intelligence station to work and set up a radio station there." You first go to the Shandong base area, and then take the sea route to the northeast. ”
He pointed to the young man and said:
"He is the comrade sent by Shandong to receive you."
The next day, the Jianmin family of three bid farewell to Yan'an and embarked on a new journey.
They took their children, who had just been two years old, disguised themselves as ordinary boats, and traveled by sea to the northeast via Dalian. In fact, this is to make pre-war preparations for the upcoming large-scale Liaoshen Campaign.
As a professional confidential, the most important thing is the codebook, and with it, the combat deployment of the army is under control. To this end, Dong Jianmin stored the codebook and some core confidential documents close to his body, and added all kinds of care along the way.
Dong Jianmin and Zhong Qi suddenly felt something was wrong, as if someone was staring at them.
It was a frightening feeling like being stared at by a poisonous snake, thinking about when to bite you.
The two men looked at each other without making a sound. I thought that I might be exposed, but how did they do it?
Before they could think about it, the two men were already on the boat, looking out at a vast sea, with nowhere to go, only to continue to disguise, as if they did not know what to do.
As their ships sailed into Bohai Bay,
Suddenly encountered the obstruction of the Kuomintang warships
。 The Nationalist warship first hit the hull, and their children were unfortunately injured by fragments of shells.
The ship was trapped at sea, and immediately after that came a group of armed Kuomintang agents. They searched one by one, men, women and children, leaving any corner.
At this point, they also expected that their whereabouts would be told to the Kuomintang by traitors. At this moment, they are carrying party secrets in their arms, and if they are found, their lives are in danger, and if the secrets are intercepted, it means that there are countless comrades in the rear who will shed blood and sacrifice.
This also means that the Communist Party's years of deployment will be wiped out in an instant, so there is no room for luck in this matter.
Dong Jianmin held the two-year-old child and resolutely said to her husband:
"Remember our wedding vows? Coexisting with the code, now it's time to make good on our promises, let's jump into the sea together! ”
They had long thought about the seriousness of the matter, so they quickly made a choice:
It is better to sacrifice the lives of the whole family than to let the party's secrets fall into the hands of the enemy.
Zhong Qi's family quietly came to the back deck, clinging the confidential documents to their chests, and then held the child in their arms, the three embraced each other, and almost without hesitation, they jumped into the sea, splashing waves with heavy sighs.
Someone jumped into the sea! Wait until the agents of the National Government hear the news and rush to the side of the ship,
The three men took the secret code and sank to the bottom of the sea
。 Zhong Qi and Dong Jianmin, as members of the confidential department, have an important mission and swear to defend the code to the death
It also guarded the promise they made when they got married.
That year, Dong Jianmin was 23 years old, her husband Zhong Qi was 25 years old, and their children had just turned two years old.
Although Dong Jianmin's family slept in the Bohai Bay, their family remained forever in the hearts of the people and the country, becoming a beacon to illuminate the way forward for everyone and driving away the endless darkness.
With this article, I would like to pay the highest respect to the martyr Dong Jianmin and to the many heroes who have dedicated their lives to the country!
