Everyone knows that Marshal Xu Qianqian was a student of the first term of the Whampoa Military Academy, but few people know that his wife, Huang Jie, was also a student of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Huang Jie, a native of Jiangling County, Hubei Province, fled to Wuhan at the age of 14 in order to escape his family's arranged marriage. Three years later, the Wuhan branch of the Whampoa Military Academy enrolled students and recruited female cadets, and Huang Jie did not hesitate to sign up.
Huang Jie knew that she only had a Chinese, and she was not necessarily sure to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy, but she longed for revolution and had a very strong will, so she went to visit Yun Daiying, who was in charge of enrollment, and frankly talked about her situation, hoping that the school could consider it.
Yun Daiying introduced the procedures and conditions of the exam to her, and then told her that the enrollment only accepted 25 students, and the competition was still quite fierce. But Huang Jie said to Yun Daiying: "Entering the military academy is not the only purpose, following the Northern Expedition of the Revolutionary Army is the real truth." ”
It is worth mentioning that when Huang Jie took the exam later, the Chinese test paper only wrote 108 words, and the mathematics 8 questions, she only answered two, but she was still admitted out of the box, what is the reason for this?
First of all, although her Chinese examination paper is only 108 words, the title of the essay is "The Difference between Revolution and Evolution", which she understands very thoroughly, and writes out the main idea of "Revolution is man-made, evolution is natural", and after reading the paper, the teacher directly gave her a highest score.
When she took the math test, there were 8 questions, and she only reluctantly answered two, and the rest would not be. The girl who took the exam with her saw that she would not, so she wrote a note to her, but she refused, she felt that she should be realistic, will be, will not be, can not be deceived.
This scene was just discovered by the inspector, who reported this situation to the chief examiner, who was very appreciative of this attitude and directly signed four words: "The widow can be taught." ”
In this way, Huang Jie was successfully admitted to the 6th phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and became a female cadet.
It is worth mentioning that there are many celebrities who were admitted at the same time as Huang Jie, such as the "Four Daughters of Huangpu": Hu Yun, Zhao Yiman, Hu Lanqi, You Xi, as well as Nie Shuai's wife Zhang Ruihua, Ye Shuai's two wives: Zeng Xianzhi and Wei Gongzhi.
After entering the school, Huang Jie showed a strong learning ability, cultural subjects, military subjects are among the best, especially she insists on running 15 kilometers a day, not inferior to male students, so she has a loud nickname in the military school: "Eagle of the Military Academy".
After Huang Jie graduated, she joined our party, and later, she was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the organization to serve as a traffic officer for Zhou Gong in Shanghai.
What makes her unforgettable is that more than 20 years later, at the National Day reception in 1950, the premier walked through several tables with a wine glass, came to her and said: "When you were in Shanghai, you were not less criticized by me, and you suffered so many grievances. I dried this glass of wine first! ”
Huang Jie was so excited that he burst into tears, and he did not expect that the prime minister, who was very lucky, would even remember her as a small traffic officer, and quickly drank all the wine in the cup.
Before Huang Jie married Xu Xiangqian, he also had a marriage, and her husband was also a big figure in our army, that is, Zeng Zhongsheng, who was once Xu Xiangqian's superior leader.
Zeng Zhongsheng was also a student of the Whampoa Military Academy, graduated from the fourth phase, and married Huang Jie in 1930.
Unfortunately, Zeng Zhongsheng was killed by Zhang Guotao in 1935 at the age of 35.
Until 1946, through Zhang Qinqiu's connection, Huang Jie and Xu Xiangqian married, at that time, Huang Jie was 36 years old, and Xu Shuai was already 45 years old.
After the two got married, they have experienced ups and downs but have always respected each other and walked hand in hand for 44 years.
On June 18, 2007, Huang Jie passed away at the age of 97.
