introduction
In the spring of 1994, before the winter wind had left, the Shanghai Longhua Martyrs Cemetery welcomed an old grandmother with gray hair. This grandmother stood in front of the tombstone of the revolutionary martyr Chen Qiaonian, trembling and stretching out her hands to slowly rub the 5 big characters of "Chen Qiaonian Martyr". Suddenly, she fell to her knees in front of the grave again, crying out, "Daddy, my daughter has come to see you!" ”
Seeing this, I think many readers and friends must be very confused, who is this old lady? Why would she, many years later, belatedly weeping at the tombstone of the martyr Chen Qiaonian? After a series of data reading and literature investigation, the author will tell you about the bumpy father-daughter relationship between this old lady Miao Yu and the revolutionary martyr Chen QiaoNian.
First, the Chen family, all are loyal and martyr
On the night of July 4, 1927, in the Longhua area of Shanghai, a young man in a prosperous state was forcibly escorted to the execution ground by the reactionaries. This young man was the eldest son of Mr. Chen Duxiu, a revolutionary hero and one of the original initiators of our Party. At the time of his sacrifice, Chen Qiao was only 29 years old.
At that time, Chen Yannian was the secretary of the Jiangsu Provincial CPC Committee, concurrently serving as a member of the five central committees of the CPC, holding important positions and shouldering a heavy mission. At that time, Chen Yannian was unyielding, and the enemy used many cruel punishment methods against him, such as tiger stools, pepper water, and bamboo sticks. However, under the torture, Comrade Chen Yannian persevered and persevered, and did not disclose any useful information.
At the time of execution, Chen Yannian was bright and upright, regarded death as a homecoming, and under the obscenity of the enemy, he would never yield, and even if he was tortured, he was determined to stand. The enemy was furious at his unruliness and forcibly threw him to the ground. When the enemy was slack, Chen Yannian resisted with all his strength and wanted to jump down. In the end, Comrade Chen Yannian died under the enemy's knife and was hacked to death.
Chen Qiaonian was Chen Yannian's younger brother, and shortly after Chen Yannian's death, he was unfortunately arrested because of the high density of Tang Ruilin and others. Thankfully, however, at that time, the Kuomintang did not know his true identity, but simply wanted to get some relevant information about the organization out of his mouth.
After Chen Qiao Nian was arrested, the organization was also trying to find ways to rescue him. At that time, a revolutionary fighter named Zhou Zhichu volunteered to impersonate Chen Qiao to die years ago. "The revolution can be without my Zhou Zhichu, but the revolution absolutely cannot be without Chen Qiao Nian!" Originally, according to the organization's plan, Chen Qiaonian would definitely be able to escape smoothly.
However, Zhou Zhichu's father was reluctant to have three generations of single-handed only son, and after learning that his son had been arrested by the reactionaries, he was suddenly ill and rushed to the hospital, and immediately shouted out, "That's my son Zhou Zhichu, not Chen Qiao Nian!" In this way, Chen Qiaonian's identity was exposed, and in the end, Zhou Zhichu and Chen Qiaonian could not escape this disaster.
Second, Chen Qiaonian on the road of revolution
Chen Qiaonian was the second son of the revolutionary leader Chen Duxiu and his original wife Gao Dazhong, and although Chen Duxiu had many confidants in his life, only gao Duoxiu, who really gave birth to many heirs for him without complaint or regret. Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian brothers are both compatriots of the same mother. In addition, they also have a younger sister, named Chen Yuying.
At that time, Gao Dazhong was also a qianjin lady from a family of official eunuchs, and marrying Chen Duxiu was actually considered to be a marriage. At that time, Chen Duxiu was just a talent who had just won the list, a house of family property and no official system, and Gao Zhongzhong also suffered a lot of hardships when he married him, at least he did not live a life of gold clothes and food before marriage.
When the Chen brothers were young, Chen Duxiu had already embarked on the road of revolution. Because of his busy work, Chen Duxiu often did not go home. It is precisely for this reason that the high public will complain about him. The Chen brothers also had a grudge with their father because of their mother's complaints, but after they grew up and became reasonable, they began to approve of their father's approach. After growing up, the Chen brothers also embarked on the revolutionary road under the influence of their father.
In 1919, the Chen brothers went to Marseille, France to study. There, a French Revolution that shocked the world and shocked history had just ended. New ideas were widely disseminated in France, and the Chen brothers learned a lot from them. After returning to China, both brothers began their revolutionary cause under the arrangement of the organization.
At that time, Chen Qiaonian was assigned to the Beijing area as the head of the organization of the executive committee, and under the leadership of Li Dazhao, Chen Qiaonian constantly propagated anti-imperialist and anti-feudal ideas in the process of the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, and devoted all his enthusiasm to the revolutionary cause. However, here, he also met his own love and met Shi Jingyi, a revolutionary female fighter.
Third, Chen Qiaonian's widow Miao Yu
The Chen brothers actually have similarities in many places, but on the issue of feelings, the concepts of the two brothers are still very different. Elder brother Chen Yannian believes that people's energy is limited, and if their revolutionary tasks are not completed, they should not talk about marriage, otherwise it will affect the revolutionary cause.
On the contrary, his younger brother Chen Qiaonian felt that the revolutionary cause was a long and arduous cause, and he needed to be prepared for a long-term struggle. In this process, we should not overly suppress our reasonable needs, such as emotional needs. It is precisely for this reason that when he met his love, Chen Qiaonian did not choose to escape or turn it away.
Shortly after Chen Qiaonian married Shi Jingyi, the two had their first child, whom Chen Qiaonian named Chen Hongwu. Unfortunately, during the war years, the child did not live long before dying. Shortly thereafter, Shi Jingyi became pregnant again, but during Shi Jingyi's pregnancy, Chen Qiaonian unfortunately died.
When the child was born, Shi Jingyi named her Chen Changhong, and she was so sad that she had to send the child to others to raise, hoping that her child could live a peaceful and peaceful life and not experience such a war and separation again. After several twists and turns, finally in 1994, Chen Qiaonian and Shi Jingyi's daughter was found, but Chen Changhong did not know her real name at the time, she gave herself a name called Miao Yu, at this time Miao Yu, is already a 66-year-old man.
epilogue
After several decades, Miao Yu finally learned of his origins, and this belated call was finally realized in front of the tombstone of the martyr Chen Qiao Nian. What is touching is that although Shi Jingyi does not want her daughter to be involved in the struggle again, in the face of the difficulties faced by the country, Miao Yu still joins in without thinking and embarks on the path that her father and mother once pursued. Strive to contribute to the construction and development of the country, although thin, but firm! Respectable.
