After performing the ceremony for Comrade Chu Qing, the people present held a ceremony to place ashes and fill in the soil, and laid wreaths.
A glorious revolutionary career for heroes
maybe
Many people hear the name "Chu Qing" and are not very familiar with it, but when it comes to her husband, it is unknown to everyone and everyone, and it is Su Yu, the founding general of New China.
Chu Qing, formerly known as Zhan Yongzhu, changed his name to Chu Qing during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in order to protect his family and avoid his family being implicated.
When he was a child, Chu Qing was superior to others in terms of looks and brains, and his family also let Chu Qing go to Shanghai Provincial Yangzhou Middle School.
In his youth, in order to escape the war, his father Zhan Keming donated a sum of money to the church in the United States through connections, hoping to let his family take refuge in the church.
When the church priest picked up their family, on the way, seeing all kinds of evil deeds of the Japanese army invading China, Chu Qing even had the idea of abandoning her pen and congrong, and she knew in her heart that if she did not fight away the Japanese devils one day, her family would not be at peace for a day.

In 938, the 15-year-old Chu Qing resolutely threw himself into the revolutionary cause despite the opposition of his family.
In her mind, there is only one thought, that is, "Without everyone, there is no small home."
At the end of the same year, for the sake of his own faith, Chu Qing joined the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, and in 1939, due to his positive revolutionary work attitude, he joined the Communist Party of China in March, and since then he has officially begun a legendary life.
In May 1939, Comrade Chu Qing joined the Shorthand Training Class of the New Fourth Army.
Chu Qing worked harder than her comrades of the same period, and coupled with her own talent, she soon formally threw herself into the revolutionary cause.
After graduating from the training course, he served as a stenographer and confidential officer of the Jiangnan Headquarters of the New Fourth Army and the Northern Jiangsu Command.
Because of his excellent professional skills and the revolutionary spirit of bearing hardships and standing hard work, he was transferred to the Military Department of the New Fourth Army in July 1943 and served as the secretary of the Central China Bureau of the Communist Party of China.
She is conscientious and hardworking, skilled in business, quick in response, and outstanding in her comprehensive ability. Her outstanding achievements won the trust of her superiors, and in December 1944, she was appointed secretary of the headquarters of the New Fourth Army's Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region.
Chu Qing kept exercising in the new working environment, back and forth
He participated in the anti-Japanese struggle in the Jiangnan region and central Jiangsu, the Decisive Battle of Huangqiao, the three anti-stubborn battles of Tianmu Mountain, the Battle of Suzhong, the Battle of Subei, the Battle of Lunan, the Battle of Laiwu, the Battle of Menglianggu, and crossed the Yangtze River three times and the coastal combat operations
A blood contest made this female warrior grow rapidly,
From the artillery fire of that year to today's prosperity, heroes have witnessed the rise of the country, and today's peace is inseparable from heroes.
In the years of Zhengrong, I met the person who had lived all my life
In March 1939, Su Yu, then deputy commander of the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, came to the military headquarters to teach the headquarters, and the 32-year-old Su Yu had long exceeded the marriage age stipulated by the party, perhaps heaven asked him to wait for the right person.
Among the many students, Su Yu saw Chu Qing.
Under the recommendation of Liang Guobin, the head of the investigation and statistics section of the Teaching Corps, Su Yu learned about Chu Qing's family situation, and then Chu Qing had a brief conversation with Su Yu.
When Su Yu asked why he had devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, Chu Qing's answer was simple: "I want to go to the front line to kill devils and defend my country."
This time, Chu Qing was very impressed by Su Yu.
After leaving the teaching corps, only one meeting sowed love in Su Yu's heart, so he wrote a letter expressing his admiration and sent it to Chu Qing, but did not receive a reply from Chu Qing.
After waiting for a while, General Su Yu wrote another letter to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing looked at the envelope this time, the signature was Su Yu, and he didn't look at it, so he directly tore the letter off.
This incident inevitably disappointed Su Yu, but it also made Su Yu have a new understanding of Chu Qing, a female fighter who devoted herself wholeheartedly to the revolutionary cause, perhaps did not have the heart to talk about her children's love, of course, she also had her choice of love.
Maybe it was the favor of heaven, or maybe it was the narrow road of the wrongdoers, when Chu Qing graduated from the stenography class of the New Fourth Army, he was assigned to the Jiangnan Headquarters, which was good, Su Yu suddenly became Chu Qing's direct leader, and the two people met became the norm.
At this time, Su Yu still loved Chu Qing, but this time Su Yu no longer dared to be as rash as before, and every time they met, they pretended to be calm, so Chu Qing also settled down to work.
At this time, she had also been observing Su Yu.
When you really fall in love with someone, you can't always suppress your emotions.
One day, Su Yu called Chu Qing to the office, inquired about Chu Qing's recent work, and once again expressed his admiration for the young girl.
This time, Chu Qing's answer was still very crisp: "Comrade Chief, the purpose of my participation in the revolution is to overthrow the Japanese aggressors, and now that the Japanese are killing our compatriots, I just want to devote myself to the revolutionary cause and do not want to consider my personal problems, and I am still young. ”
Su Yu also expressed his heart very directly: "Comrade Chu Qing, I understand your thoughts, I think that the blood of revolutionary martyrs will not flow in vain, I will also handle the relationship between love and revolution very well, and I will never affect my revolutionary cause because of love, and I am not anxious about your answer, we will make a friend now." ”
Su Yu's true feelings somewhat touched Chu Qing, and Chu Qing was silent and said softly: "Chief, I believe in your dedication to the revolution, and I also recognize your ability to command and fight, I know that you are also well-intentioned, and I still don't want to think about the issue of love." ”
Su Yu was also very persistent: "I will wait for you slowly." ”
Although it was the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in his spare time, there was always some gossip in military life, and the matter of Su Yu's confession to Chu Qing soon spread, and there was a lot of discussion, saying everything.
Even at that time, Mr. Chen Yi joked to Su Yu: "This kind of thing is also very easy, when the little devil comes to you, you pick up the girl and run, this time you have to make people worship you." ”
Su Yu also said, "At that time, you will have to pick up the barrel of a gun and fight the enemy for your life, even if you can just think of holding the girl." ”
After Chen Yi listened, he thought that this was indeed the case, and he also laughed.
In a series of battles such as crossing the Yangtze River, zhanhuangqiao, seven battles and seven victories in the Soviet Union, Su Yu led the troops to win one victory after another with excellent military command ability.
At the beginning of 1941, just in time for the "Anhui Southern Incident", the New Fourth Army was facing a major turning point, and Su Yu was even more busy with military affairs, but at this time Chu Qing suddenly fell ill and had a high fever.
After Su Yu learned about it, he was busy working during the day and went to see Chu Qing at night, and even Su Yu's guards asked Su Yu to pay attention to rest at night, but Su Yu thought in his heart, I can't get out during the day, and I must come to take care of Chu Qing at night.
It is also this firmness in love,
In the end, Chu Qing agreed to Su Yu's confession, all of which was based on Su Yu's dedication to love and his understanding of Chu Qing.
Su Yu understood that Chu Qing was a very independent woman, and perhaps becoming a general's wife was a heavy burden for Chu Qing, and therefore, in life, Su Yu gave Chu Qing enough respect.
Love is like this, only mutual understanding will last long enough.
In December 1941, the 18-year-old Chu Qing and the 34-year-old Su Yu formed a lifelong companion and followed General Su Yu to the north and south.
In 1958, General Su Yu and Comrade Chu Qing spent a difficult few years, during which Time Chu Qing gave Su Yu the greatest support in life and spirit.
Speaking of the love story of General Su Yu and Comrade Chu Qing, the most admirable thing is that
After the death of General Su Yu, Comrade Chu Qing still ran for General Su Yu.
In times of peace, it still shines brightly for the cause of the Chinese revolution
In February 1952, Comrade Chu Qing changed careers, and after changing careers, Comrade Chu Qing still did not forget the party's teachings, continued her revolutionary work, and made important contributions to publicizing and implementing the rural economic reform policies proposed by the party and the state.
It was precisely in this spirit of hard work and hard work that the party sent Comrade Chu Qing to the Academy of Military Sciences in 1970 and served as a secretary in the Planning and Guidance Department (at the level of a full division), and during his work in the Planning and Guidance Department of the Academy of Military Sciences, Comrade Chu Qing wholeheartedly helped General Su Yu sort out precious war memoirs and military anthologies.
In July 1983, he retired as a deputy military cadre (General Office of the Central Military Commission).
After the death of General Su Yu in 1984, Comrade Chu Qing was determined to inherit The Legacy of General Su Yu, and painstakingly and painstakingly sorted out a large number of his posthumous works, and later collected poems, anthologies and war records about General Su Yu
both participated in the review.
Chu Qing devoted his efforts to summarizing General Su Yu's strategic thinking and military ability, promoted the deepening of research on Su Yu's military theory and practice, and left a huge spiritual wealth for future generations.
Chu Qing, who left the battlefield, opened a new "battlefield", although it was a peaceful era, he also fulfilled his duties during his work.
She went to urban and rural market research, attended important meetings, drafted important documents, accompanied the leaders on overseas visits, never slackened off for a moment, was highly praised by the leaders of the country many times, and she regarded every revolutionary work as a battle.
In 1988, Chu Qing was awarded the Medal of Honor for Independence of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which can be said to be well deserved.
Comrade Chu Qing has the lofty ideological qualities and moral sentiments of a communist, and as a female comrade, she has a very broad mind, works rigorously and conscientiously throughout her life, and attaches great importance to the cause of the party and the state in everything.
She is frank, modest and prudent, willing to dedicate, strict with herself, and in the education of her children, she is also very strict, and she is also very concerned about the work colleagues around her, always adhering to the spirit of an old Communist Party member.
The general died, and the heroine was specially "accompanied" in her later years.
On February 5, 1984, the 77-year-old General Su Yu was sick in a hospital bed at the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, leaving his wife and children and the country he loved forever.
After the death of General Su Yu,
The body of General Su Yu was cremated at the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, and the master in charge of cremation actually found three black things in the ashes
He picked it up and saw three pieces of shattered shrapnel.
Su Yu's eldest son, Su Rongsheng, was particularly surprised when he saw it.
Su Rongsheng hurried home and handed the three shrapnels to his mother Chu Qing, who trembled and took the three shrapnels, and instantly cried.
Comrade Chu Qing preached to his family:
"This was in February 1930, when Ganzhong was the political commissar of the detachment, in order to eliminate the invading Fifteenth Brigade, during the battle, several pieces of shrapnel hit Su Yu, who was commanding the battle, and after being shot in the head, Su Yu was immediately sent to the rear hospital for emergency treatment.
"After three months of hospitalization, he returned to the battlefield, and whenever the war was tight and the work was tired, he had a headache, and when he was severe, he couldn't even touch his hair, but no one could have imagined that there was shrapnel in his head..."
When they heard about this, everyone shed tears.
This is the general of the new China, who can bow down to the motherland and die later.
These three shrapnel pieces were the relics left by Su Yu to Chu Qing, and this relic also deeply touched Chu Qing's heart and accompanied her throughout her old age.
She remembered every injury he had been injured before su yu's life, remembered every battle he had fought before his death, and every brilliant battle record he had exchanged for blood.
After The body of General Su Yu was cremated, Chu Qing brought his ashes to Nanjing and sprinkled them on more than twenty pieces of land he had fought, and General Su Yu would always guard the land he loved.
When she finished scattering the ashes of General Su Yu, Chu Qing cried into tears, she sat on the ground, looking at the scenery in front of her, as if she had returned to that war-torn era, Su Yu took a fancy to Chu Qing among the thousands of people, and confessed to her affectionately again and again.
The pain in her heart is indescribable, and she wrote a poem for the feelings and stories of the two people, "Sending Nostalgia", after writing the poem, Chu Qing could not suppress the emotions in her heart and cried out loudly.
After Chu Qing returned home, he wrapped the three shrapnel pieces in cloth and stayed with him until he died.
Comrade Chu Qing's life was a life of revolution, a life of fighting, and a life of selfless dedication to the party and the people wholeheartedly.
The birth of new China, the building of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the construction of national defense and the modernization of the armed forces can all be seen in the figure of Comrade Chu Qing.
Her passing is a loss to the country and the people, and in her we need to learn not only her excellent qualities, but also her spirit of fighting for the revolution all her life, all of which will always be remembered in our hearts.
