On January 27, 1950, Comrade Ren Bishi, an important member of the first generation of the party's leadership collective, died of illness at the age of 46.
Ren Bishi was praised as "the camel of our party, the camel of the Chinese people", and he devoted his life's wisdom and energy to the party and the people without reservation.
In Ren Bishi's revolutionary life, there was a hard-working and brave woman who followed him closely, advancing and retreating with him, and being in the same boat through storms, that is, Ren Bishi's wife---- Chen Chunying.
Many people are familiar with Ren Bishi, but they don't know Chen Chunying. As everyone knows, in the life of Ren Bishi, Chen Chunying is a very important role, they are not only husband and wife, but also revolutionary comrades-in-arms.....
1: The love of green plum bamboo horses
Chen Chunying was born in Changsha, Hunan In 1902. In fact, the Chen family and the Ren family have a lot of roots since the previous generation, and their two families are not only family friends, but also children's relatives.
In 1896, Chen Chunying's aunt Chen Shi married Ren Zhensheng, Ren Bishi's father, and the two had a very good relationship. However, they are a pair of mandarin ducks with a bitter fate.
In the second year after marriage, Chen died of illness, and Ren Zhensheng was very sad and agreed that the Ren and Chen families would continue to be sisters-in-law in the next generation. This wish was fulfilled in Chen Chunying and Ren Bishi.
In the third year after Chen Chunying's birth, Ren Zhensheng was happy to have a son, that is, Ren Bishi. Therefore, under the mastery of the elders, they have set up doll parents since childhood
When Chen Chunying was two years old, her mother died of illness, and her father was working outside for many years, so she lived with her brother and sister-in-law. During this period, Chen Chunying also always went to Ren's house to play, and she and Ren Bi could be said to be two little guesses, and they had established a deep emotional foundation since childhood.
When Chen Chunying was 12 years old, her father simply sent her to the Ren family as a "child bridesmaid". Of course, unlike the child brides who are generally abused, the Ren family treats Chen Chunying as if they were their own, and Ren Bishi also loves this "sister".
When he reached the age of enrollment, Ren Bi was sent to school to study, he was intelligent since childhood, and he studied hard. At the age of 12, he was admitted to the high school attached to changsha middle school normal school.
On the day of the separation, when Chen Chunying looked at Ren Bi with tearful eyes, he choked up and said, "You went out to study, will you come back when you have the ability in the future?" ”
Ren Bishi promised: "Of course I will come back, I will come back to pick you up later, and we will go out together..." After saying this, Ren Bishi also shed tears.
At that time, the Ren family was generally well-off, and Ren Bishi's tuition and living expenses in Changsha naturally added a lot of burden to the family. At this time, Chen Chunying, who was filial and sensible, said to her in-laws: "I also went to Changsha District, where I worked as a female worker, and I could support my brother to study." ”
The in-laws are very happy to hear it, which not only reduces the burden on the family, but also allows the two children to enhance their feelings, which is a good way.
So, 14-year-old Chen Chunying took simple luggage, with the help of a fellow villager, to a factory in Changsha and became a female worker.
In order to earn more money, pay tuition fees to Ren Bishi, and also let him eat something nutritious, Chen Chunying worked hard in the factory, and every time she paid, she only kept a small part, and gave most of it to Ren Bishi.
For Chen Chunying's care and support for himself, Ren Bishi has always kept in mind. Every holiday, he would come to the factory to visit Chen Chunying, looking at her so hard, he was heartbroken, and swore: "I must study well, do great things in the future, and repay Chen Chunying." ”
In that era, arranged marriages rarely had deep feelings, but Ren Bishi and Chen Chunying were exceptions, knowing how to be grateful and two people with the same pace also loved each other deeply.
2: Follow your husband and embark on the revolutionary road
Under the support of his parents and Chen Chunying, Ren Bishi used five years to successfully complete the high school and Mingde Private Middle School
Seeing that Ren Bi was getting better and better, Chen Chunying was also anxious in her heart, she was also eager to make progress and eager to learn knowledge, but the conditions at that time did not allow her to enter the school at all, so her study was delayed.
In 1919, Ren Bishi transferred to Changsha First Union County Middle School to study.
In this year, the "May Fourth" patriotic movement broke out, and when Ren Bi, who had already received education in new ideas, developed a strong idea of saving the world and saving the country, he not only participated in the formation of the Hunan Federation of Societies and the student strike activities, but also participated in the Russian Research Association organized by Mao Zedong and others.
In 1920, Ren Bishi was sent to Shanghai to participate in the Russian language study class of the Foreign Chinese Society, where he joined the Socialist Youth League and officially embarked on the revolutionary road.
The following year, Ren Bishi was sent to Moscow to study. Before going abroad, what he could not rest assured of was Chen Chunying's education.
He told Chen Chunying that he must find opportunities to learn. At the same time, he also wrote letters to his father and Chen Chunying's brother, asking them to help Chen Chunying embark on the road of reading.
With Ren Bishi's encouragement, Chen Chunying's education was slowly on the right track. In Changsha, she went to work in the factory during the day and went to night school at night, taking off the illiterate hat with hard work and diligence.
When Ren Bi, who was far away in Moscow, was worried that Chen Chunying was too hard, but also worried about her study, so the two often exchanged letters, which was also a good story at that time.
Ren Bi stayed abroad for three years, and finally returned to China in 1924, when she had joined the Communist Party and was organized to work in Shanghai.
At that time, Ren Bishi had just come from the Soviet Union, he was dignified, young and promising, and many young women showed favor to him, but they were resolutely rejected by Ren Bishi.
And when those people knew that Ren Bishi's fiancée was arranged by the family and was only a female worker, they did not understand it in their hearts.
Ren Bishi said very decisively: "Although we are an arranged marriage, there is love between us." "This perseverance is moving.
In 1926, for the needs of the work, the organizational general Chen Chunying was also brought to Shanghai. At this time, the couple had been separated for six years, but they did not have the slightest sense of strangeness, and they hugged each other tightly with excitement when they met.
Soon after, they were officially married, and Chen Chunying married not only Ren Bishi, but also the revolutionary cause.
3: Revolutionary couple in the same boat through thick and thin
In the twenties of last century, the most turbulent era in China, in order to lead the toiling masses on the road to happiness, the revolutionary leaders and revolutionaries of our Party did not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood.
As a member of the party, Ren Bishi was very busy at work, organizing student strikes and workers' strikes. Of course, behind the revolutionary work, there are not only hardships, but also risks.
For her husband's choice, Chen Chunying supported without complaint, and at the same time she also joined the organization and became a traffic officer, and they became a revolutionary couple in the true sense.
However, the risk fell on the couple, and Chen Chunying also felt the danger of revolution for the first time, but she was not afraid.
In 1928, shortly after Chen Chunying gave birth to his daughter, Ren Bishi was unfortunately captured by the enemy. In the face of the enemy's interrogation, Ren Bishi insisted that he was just a shop guy
In order to extract a confession, the enemy tortured him, but the will of the revolutionaries was made of steel, and even though he suffered from flesh and skin, Ren Bishi resolutely guarded his identity and the secrets of the party.
Just when Ren Bi was tortured by the enemy, Chen Chunying, who learned of her husband's arrest, was so anxious that she immediately took her newborn daughter with her, climbed into a coal truck, and rushed to Changsha in the wind and rain.
Chen Chunying is only one year old, and even if he desperately wants to save his husband. When they arrived in Changsha, Chen Chunying found an organization, and everyone joined forces to begin to rescue Ren Bishi.
According to her husband's false confession, Chen Chunying disguised herself as a changsha female boss, and when she was dealing with the enemy who came to verify her identity, she was calm and relaxed, not in a hurry, and successfully dispelled the suspicion of the enemy.
Thanks to the efforts of the party organization and Chen Chunying, Ren Bishi was finally acquitted. When she saw her scaly husband, Chen Chunying, who had always been strong, couldn't help but cry out loud.
It was also at this time that Ren Bishi learned that his daughter had died of frostbite on the way to Changsha, and he was grief-stricken.
Although they were tortured and lost their beloved daughter, the revolution was not yet successful, and Ren Bishi and Chen Chunying used the shortest time to sort out their mood and embark on the revolutionary road again.
However, only a year later, Ren Bishi was captured by the enemy again, and the enemy still used cruel punishment on him, but Ren Bishi insisted that he was just a businessman even if he bit his lip and bleed.
This time Ren Bishi was arrested, and it was Chen Chunying who was desperate to deal with the enemy, even in the face of the enemy's threats and inducements, Chen Chunying did not show any flaws, with extraordinary courage and courage, Chen Chunying once again successfully rescued her husband.
Although Chen Chunying received her education late, under the influence of her husband, she has grown into an excellent revolutionary female fighter.
4: Walk the Long March together
Since joining the revolution, Ren Bishi and Chen Chunying have hardly been separated, for the revolutionary cause, they stuck together, but also paid a huge price, their first three children, for various reasons unfortunately died, which is also the eternal pain in the hearts of the husband and wife.
In 1931, Chen Chunyin finally succeeded in giving birth to his daughter "Yuanzhi". However, shortly after the birth of the child, due to the betrayal of traitors, Chen Chunying and his daughter fell into the hands of the enemy.
After Zhou Enlai's rescue and imprisonment for another year, Chen Chunying and her daughter were able to regain their freedom, and for safety, she sent her daughter back to her hometown, and then caught up with Su District to reunite with her husband.
In 1933, in the revolutionary base area, Chen Chunying gave birth to a son Ren Xianggan, but at that time the revolutionary situation was grim, there was no time to take care of the child, the husband and wife could only bear the pain of sending their son to the local villagers to raise, but unfortunately the child did not go anywhere later.
In 1934, the world-famous 25,000-mile Long March began. Chen Chunying followed her husband on a difficult long march.
Chen Chunying is a small foot that has been wrapped around the foot, can not wear straw shoes, along the way can only use cloth wrapped around the feet to walk, on the road full of gravel, every step will come from the pain of drilling the heart.
But no matter how difficult it was, Chen Chunying never thought of giving up, and she had a strong belief in her heart, following her husband's southern conquest and northern war, taking care of her husband's diet and living.
It is precisely because of Chen Chunying's care that Ren Bishi escaped death several times, and he emotionally confessed to his wife: "Marrying you is my greatest happiness, and we will still be together in the next life..." Chen Chunying smiled with tears on her face.
During the Long March, they also gave birth to a daughter on an expedition. Although the road was difficult, they insisted on taking their children with them.
In order to nourish his wife's body, even if it is a little green vegetable, Ren Bishi will let his wife eat, and he will also take time to go fishing and boil fish soup for his wife.
Along the way, Ren Bishi carried his daughter on his back and supported his wife, and that picture touched countless people, and this was also a true portrayal of many comrades in the Long March at that time.

After enduring hardships and obstacles, they finally reached Yan'an, the holy land of revolution. Here, Ren Bishi's work is busier, and his health is not very good, Chen Chunying is not only a confidential secretary, but also a life steward of Ren Bishi, taking good care of her husband.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, because of the needs of work, Ren Bishi and Chen Chunying had to be separated, and the children had to be sent back to their hometown on an expedition, and the family once again faced life and death, and Chen Chunying's tears never broke.
Later, when Ren Bishi was sent to the Soviet Union as the ccp's representative to the Comintern, they were reunited again, spent two years in the Soviet Union, and gave birth to a daughter Yuanfang.
But in order to resist the war, when the couple returned to China, they could only leave their daughters in the Soviet Union, and since they got married, they had several children after birth, but they died, disappeared, and the living were not around, and this pain could only be experienced by parents.
During the Liberation War, Ren Bishi's task was even more arduous, and by this time his body was already very unhappy, and he was suffering from several serious diseases.
In order to take care of her husband, Chen Chunying took her young son far away and followed the army to fight, suffering a lot of hardships, and saw that he had no complaints or regrets.
After eight years of war of resistance and four years of civil war, New China was finally founded, which was bought with the blood and lives of countless martyrs.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ren Bishi's health became worse and worse than before, and the organization arranged for him to go to the Soviet Union to recuperate, in order to save money, this time he did not let Chen Chunying accompany him, but Chen Chunying was always worried at home.
The only comfort is that when I saw my daughter Ren Yuanfang in the Soviet Union, the reunion of father and daughter made people tearful, and they sacrificed too much for the revolution to express in words.
On May 28, 1950, Ren Bishi's father and daughter finally returned to their homeland. On that day, Chen Chunying led the whole family to greet her husband and daughter, which was also the first reunion of the Ren family.
Ren Bishi looked at his wife and several children, and his heart was very happy, and zhang Luo took a "family portrait".
Unfortunately, this also became the last family photo of the Ren family.
On October 27, 1950, Ren Bishi died of a sudden encephalopathy at the age of 46.
The death of Ren Bishi is an important loss of our Party, and some revolutionary comrades, including Chairman Mao, have shed tears.
I thought that the happy life had just begun, but I didn't expect that death would come so suddenly, and in the face of her husband who was in trouble, she died suddenly, and Chen Chunying was sad.
In the year of her husband's death, Chen Chunying was only 48 years old, but she never remarried in her life, and raised her four children into talents alone, which is the best explanation for her husband.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Chunying lived a simple life all his life, and soon after Ren Bishi's death, he donated some important relics of her husband to the state.
In the days that followed, even if the standard of living was good, she always maintained a hard and simple style of life, and she always said to her descendants: "Now that she is very good, she has a house to live in, and she can't go hungry, and she always thinks of herself as a 'cloth', never saying that she is a 'lady'".
On May 31, 2003, Chen Chunying died of illness at the age of 102.
Chen Chunying, who has walked through a century, is not only Ren Bishi's wife, but also a witness to the Chinese revolution.
Her life can be described by the word bumpy, she gave birth to nine children in her life, and finally only 4 healthy growth, she lost her husband in middle age, but because of love, she was willing to live alone for 53 years.
Chen Chunying's life is a great life, and she perfectly interprets the meaning of revolutionaries with her resolute and simple life!!!
