Married as a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love. - (Han) Su Wu, "Leaving a Farewell Wife"
Chen Geng, whose original name was Chen Shukang, was born as a general in the Chinese People's Liberation Army and an excellent leader of the national and Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the war-torn era, the chaotic world gave birth to the national spirit. The young people of the Chinese nation are pure and enthusiastic in their love, they yearn for peace, they yearn for freedom, and they yearn for their true selves. In such a pure and white, emotionally rich era, there are naturally many love stories that make people pass on as good stories.
Chen Geng had two wives, and his love for each of his wives was enviable. He is unswerving in his treatment of the country and sincere in his treatment of feelings. After the death of his first wife, Wang Genying, he met his second wife, Fu Ya. Fu Ya has been living with Chen Geng in the mainland for many years, and the two are also happy and enviable. But why did the elderly Fu Ya go to Taiwan later, and what was the reason?
1. Chen Geng's first wife, Wang Genying
Chen Geng's first wife, Wang Genying, was a strong woman. Wang Genying grew up in a poor living environment and a bad birth. So I had to work as a child laborer from a very young age, and my childhood life was very miserable. The daily work intensity is high, the workload is also large, and sometimes even beaten. It is Wang Genying, who grew up in this environment, that has forged a tenacious and indomitable spiritual will. Later, when the country was in crisis, she did not hesitate to devote herself to revolutionary work.
When she first met Chen Geng, chen geng was a teacher at her school. Among the many students, Wang Genying's ability and decisiveness made Chen Geng notice her. At the same time, Chen Geng's humor and erudition also attracted Wang Genying. But later, before it was too late to express this feeling, he encountered the ups and downs of the national political situation, and Chen Geng had to leave and go to his hometown of Hunan. The relationship between the two will not be over.
Later, at the Fifth National Congress in 1927, both sides unexpectedly participated. It turned out that they had all joined the Communist Party, and this encounter was also doomed by fate. Chen Geng seized the opportunity to generously show his love, Wang Genying accepted his confession, and the two participated in the intelligence work of the Shanghai Central Special Branch together.
Intelligence work was dangerous, and for more than a decade after the two established relations, Japan invaded many Chinese cities. The anti-Japanese national salvation trend has risen, and many people have complained about going to work, and Wang Genying is no exception. She and Chen Geng cooperated with each other, passed on a lot of important information to the Communist Party, and saved a large number of patriots. In 1939, the Japanese army suddenly launched a surprise attack on the school area where Wang Genying was located, and on the way to the breakthrough, Wang Genying found that a briefcase containing party documents and public funds was still in the school, so he turned back to get it, and died heroically, only 32 years old.
2. Chen Geng's second wife, Fu Ya
Fu Ya was Chen Geng's second wife and accompanied him throughout his life. Wang Genying and Fu Ya are very different, Fu Ya grew up in a well-off family and did not suffer a lot. She has always been influenced by advanced ideas, so after the Japanese invasion of China, she also resolutely chose to join the Communist Party of China, and has been working in Yan'an ever since. During the anti-Japanese period in Yan'an, Fu Ya participated in the Yan'an Cultural and Labor Troupe.
In 1940, while following the cultural troupe to perform for anti-Japanese fighters, Fu Ya passed through Wuxiang County, Shaanxi Province, and they went to Minister Wang Zhitao's home to borrow props. At this time, Chen Geng was recuperating at Wang Zhitao's home. Chen Geng had just participated in the Battle of Huichang, was wounded in battle, and his life was hanging in the balance, and when he saw Fu Ya chatting, he only took it in a relaxed tone. His humor and courage attracted Fu Ya's side to look at him, so he left a seed in his heart.
But what they don't know is that this seemingly accidental encounter is a deliberate effort by many people. During the recuperation period at Wang Zhitao's home, Chen Geng expressed that he now had everything, but his wife left him, and Wang Zhitao secretly remembered this matter in his heart. Perhaps it is precisely because of Chen Geng's humorous expression that there is a chance between the two. At that time, Fu Ya rejected Chen Geng because Fu Ya had a marriage contract. Fu Ya wrote to her fiancé asking him to join the Communist Party and fight against Japan and save the country. Who thought, her fiancé refused, and the previous marriage contract between the two was also dissolved.
In 1943, Chen Geng also naturally came together with Fu Ya. The two married in wartime, with heavy state affairs and less gatherings and more separations. Finally, six years later, New China was founded. However, after the founding of New China, there was a need for talents, and Chen Geng was duty-bound to plunge himself again into the great construction of the motherland's cause until 1961. Years of fighting on the battlefield caused irreparable damage to Chen Geng's body, and coupled with the follow-up work, Chen Geng fell ill.
3. Fu Ya decided to bury his old wife together
During his hospitalization, Chen Geng kept making fu ya happy in order not to worry about him all the time. Chen Geng used his usual humorous tone to tell Fu Ya about his various experiences in the war, saying that his memories and the scars on his body were still there. On March 16, Chen Geng passed away, and Fu Ya faced Chen Geng with tears. When Chen Geng was alive, he often took his diary and told stories to Fu Ya. Fu Ya later sorted out the relics for him and found another diary of Chen Geng.
The diary recorded what he and his first wife, Wang Genying, had read the diary, and not only did he not have negative emotions, but he was deeply moved by Wang Genying's heroic deeds, and she admired her bravery. When he read the letters exchanged between Chen Geng and Wang Genying, he wept several times.
Later, Fu Ya insisted on publishing Chen Geng's diary for many years, so that more people could understand his deeds, and also wrote a biography of Wang Genying. This is not only her contribution to literature, but also the embodiment of his broad mind. Fu Ya also said more than once that she loved Chen Geng deeply not because of her meritorious achievements, but because of his long-term affection and affection. After that, he also took the initiative to assume the obligation of supporting the elderly, insisted on sending money to Wang Genying's mother, and cared for the old man until the old man died.
Fu Ya insisted on being in the interior and raised four children for Chen Geng. In 1980, Fu Ya received a letter from his american sister, and fu Ya reacted that he had been separated from his family for 30 years. Looking at my sister's letter, the tears were like breaking the embankment, and the parents' last wish was to return to their hometown.
In 1986, he stood Chinese mainland with his parents' urn, his heart aches beyond words. In 1992, his longing for his sister grew, and he finally embarked on the road to the United States at the age of 74, and went to Taiwan with his sister. In 2010, Fu Ya's will buried Chen Geng and Wang Genying together. She deeply understands her husband and is full of admiration for the national hero Wang Genying.
epilogue:
The woman's courage and heart, completely whole now on her husband and family. In a certain sense, Chen Geng was lucky, and the two wives he met were not idle people. The life and death separation from his first wife, Wang Genying, and the stability and beauty of his second wife Fu Ya, are enviable. Life can meet good people, how many people envy the blessings that can not come.
In this relationship, the one who pays the most is Fu Ya, who properly arranges to take care of everyone and embodies the woman's righteousness to the fullest. She treats her husband's feelings rationally according to the facts; she treats her feelings as gentle as water. People who bravely face the facts and take responsibility are heroes, and in Terms of Fu Ya's treatment of feelings, she really deserves the praise of future generations.
