As the saying goes, behind a successful man, there is always a woman who pays silently, and Ren Bishi and his wife are like this. As everyone knows, Ren Bishi was an outstanding figure in the history of New China, made important contributions to the founding of New China, and was also one of the important founding leaders of our party.
The reason why he can achieve this is inseparable from the silent support of his wife behind him. However, few people know that Ren Bishi's wife is named Chen Chunying. Hearing the name Chen Chunying, I believe most people will feel very strange, almost never heard of it. But it is such an ordinary name that is closely associated with one great historical figure after another.
In detail, the famous anti-Japanese hero Zhao Yiman was Chen Chunying's sister-in-law, and Ren Bishi was Chen Chunying's husband who accompanied him all his life. For Ren Bishi, it can be said that without Chen Chunying, there would be no great Ren Bishi in history. What is unexpected is that the union between Ren Bishi and Chen Chunying is not free love, but a traditional arranged marriage.
Even so, this couple is also known as the best arranged marriage, so much so that Ren Bishi once sighed that we will be arranged in the next life!

Ren Bishi was born in Changsha to an ordinary family, and his father, Ren Yudao, was a rural teacher. Ren Yudao's ex-wife was the daughter of the Chen family, and the two had a deep relationship after marriage, but unfortunately Chen died of illness soon after. After the death of the Chen family, Ren Yudao, in order to commemorate his ex-wife, has maintained close relations with the Chen family. When the relationship was very good, the two families made an agreement that ren Yudao would marry the niece of the Chen family if he gave birth to a son after ren Yudao continued the string.
In 1901, Chen Chunying was born. When Chen Chunying was nearly two years old, her mother died prematurely due to illness, and her father went out to earn a living, so she could only come to live in her brother-in-law's house. Chen Chunying's elder brother was Chen Dabang, an old revolutionary. When Chen Dabang was studying at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, he met Zhao Yiman, and the two married each other. Therefore, Zhao Yiman also became Chen Chunying's sister-in-law.
However, compared with Zhao Yiman's heroic deeds, Chen Chunying's life is much more bland. But also her fate is extraordinary.
At that time, after Ren Yudao continued the string, he gave birth to a son, Ren Bishi. According to the agreement between the two families, Ren Bishi married Chen Chunying. At that time, due to this special relationship between the two families, Chen Chunying often lived in the Ren family since he was a child. Ren's parents also agreed with the marriage between the two, and regarded Chen Chunying as their own child, and cared for them kindly.
Ren Bi, who has been studying in school for many years, has a well-behaved and loyal personality, and is very obedient to the words of his parents and elders, so he is also very concerned about Chen Chunying, and the two often come and go, and the two have no guesses.
When Chen Chunying was 12 years old, her father simply sent her to the Ren family as a child bridesmaid, and from then on, Chen Chunying began to live in the Ren family and get along with Ren Bi day by day. At that time, the two were just children and did not understand what love was. Ren Bishi took care of Chen Chunying as a brother and sister, and Chen Chunying also took care of Ren Bishi as a younger brother.
In the summer of 1915, when Ren Bishi entered the high school attached to the First Normal School in Changsha, Chen Chunying returned to his father and worked as a child laborer in a small sock weaving workshop outside the north gate of Changsha. At that time, as long as Ren Bishi had time, he would come to see Chen Chunying. And every time Ren Bishi came, Chen Chunying would do his best to get some delicious food for Ren Bishi to eat and improve his life.

When the Ren family was in a bad situation and Ren Bishi was forced to drop out of school, Chen Chunying stepped forward and took out his savings for Ren Bishi to study. Since then, Chen Chunying began to save money, save a meager salary, and then quietly give Ren Bi to let him continue to study. For a long time, Ren Bishi completed his studies.
With such silent support, Chen Chunying began as a teenager. At that time, she and Ren Bishi began to support each other and understand each other. It is said that the children of poor families have long been in charge, and although the feelings of the two are not vigorous, they were formed together in their sufferings when they were young. The two of them sympathized with each other, were considerate of each other, and were tightly entangled.
The best love is the common progress of both sides, so after Ren Bishi went to Moscow to study, he specially wrote to his father to let the family support Chen Chunying's study, which is a major event about his life.
At this time, Chen Chunying was also a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and she knew that Ren Bi was unpredictable, so she still chose to support. However, although the two could not meet, Ren Bishi often sent back letters to tell his life and study, etc., often when the friendship was revealed, there was no lack of strong words.
However, Chen Chunying had not read the book, and obviously could not understand Ren Bishi's letters, so he had to ask the villagers to help read the letters. The number of times is too much, and Chen Chunying is not embarrassed. She gradually felt that Ren Bishi was now an international student, and he had a high degree of learning, and he didn't even know the words, how could he still be worthy of Ren Bishi in the future?
So she began to germinate the idea of going to study, and she must keep up with Ren Bishi's pace. Coupled with Ren Bishi's original explanation, the Ren family also intended to help, and eventually Chen Chunying entered the autonomous vocational school to study.
Coming to the academy to study is a new life for Chen Chunying. At that time, due to the patriarchal mentality of the old society, she only saw her brother study when she was a child, but she did not go to school herself. And she understands the situation at home very well, and never thought that she would one day go to school.
But now that the opportunity has come, she naturally cherishes it and will never let it go, but the reality is not as simple as she imagined. During her school life, she went to school in the morning, returned to work in the factory in the afternoon, and returned home in the evening to take care of the housework and take care of her parents.

At the end of the day, until late at night, she had time to lie down under the lamp and carefully review her day's homework. At first, due to her busy schedule, she couldn't learn everything very well. But she did not give up, starting from word by word, imitating word by word.
In this way, she slowly learned a lot of Chinese characters, and gradually tried to read letters on her own. At first, she was still very hard, guessing that the words on the letter that she did not know, and nine times out of ten she could guess correctly, and she was very satisfied with this.
In the rest of her leisure time, she often took time to return to Ren's home to visit Ren Bishi's parents. Every time she went to visit, she always had to find a way to bring something over. When she arrived at Ren's house, she began to work on the bedding that needed to be dismantled and washed at home, preparing firewood for the winter, and so on. Her sincerity is also recognized by Ren's family.
Every time Chen Chunying came to the Ren family, the Ren family was particularly happy, and several sisters-in-law in the family still made a fuss about calling her sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and Chen Chunying's cheeks were red.
In 1924, Ren Bishi returned to China. Appointed by the Central Committee, he came to Shanghai University, founded by the Communist Party of China, to teach Russian and take up the leadership of the Central Committee. At this time, Ren Bi had to be learned and learned, to have status, and to be handsome and handsome, and for a time he became a famous figure in the school.
Many people learned that he was still single, often introduced him to some beautiful and learned objects, and even some bold girls, who took the initiative to show their hearts, but they were rejected by him. He truly told him that there was already a lover in the family, and it was all her in his heart, where was the place to hold other people?
Time flickered, and another few years passed. Ren Bishi was still busy with revolutionary work, and Chen Chunying was busy with factory work, and the two had never been reunited. Chen Chunying's female companions are all married and have children, and she is still waiting for Ren Bi to return. Someone asked her, "Chun Ying, when will your brother come back and marry you?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Chunying didn't say anything, and his heart couldn't say anything. She believed that Ren Bishi would come back one day, and she had been waiting for him.

Chen Chunying's waiting was exchanged for a good result. In 1926, in order to cover ren bishi's heavy and dangerous revolutionary work, the party organization approved Ren Bishi to complete the wedding ceremony and establish a family. Soon, Wang Yifei was ordered by the party organization to take Chen Chunying to Shanghai and complete the wedding ceremony.
At the same time, Ren Bishi also returned to Shanghai to officially meet Chen Chunying, who had been separated for six years. After a long absence, the two had endless words in their hearts. In Chen Chunying's eyes, Ren Bishi was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, handsome and handsome; in Ren Bishi's eyes, although Chen Chunying was wearing a rustic dress, she was still the familiar one.
In April, the couple, who have been married since childhood, held a wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony is very simple, with neither a sumptuous wine feast nor a lavish setup. But Qu Qiubai, Yang Zhihua and his wife were all guests at the wedding, and everyone wished the newlyweds a revolutionary couple forever and made progress together.
Since then, under the leadership of Ren Bishi, Chen Chunying has also embarked on the revolutionary road and become a revolutionary fighter with a firm will.
After the two married, Ren Bishi continued to be busy with revolutionary work, and Chen Chunying served as a traffic officer, responsible for secretly transmitting documents. Every time Ren Bi wrote a letter or document, Chen Chunying was responsible for secretly sending the documents to the CCP leaders or to the CCP's secret printing house.
Every time Before Chen Chunying wanted to go out, Ren Bi always told her to go early and return early. If you find someone staring at you in the back, you must not go home immediately, but you must shake off the tail behind you and go home again. If you encounter the enemy's interrogation, don't panic and pretend that you don't know anything.
When Chen Chunying first started working, she was thin, her hands were rough, and she spoke with a thick Hunan accent, and she was often disliked in the world of Shanghai. Whenever this happened, Ren Bi would patiently comfort his wife: "Don't be afraid, we are here to do the revolution, you must learn to live in a new environment." ”
When she heard the word revolution, she didn't know what it meant, but Ren Bi's comfort warmed her heart. All she knows is that her husband Ren Bishi is very persistent about the revolution. It is precisely because of this that she is determined to follow Ren Bishi and continue to do more for the party organization.

Even so, the situation of the two was still unsafe, and even in order not to attract the attention of the enemy, Ren Bishi and his wife could only keep changing their residences. Many times, they had to live in what Shanghai called pavilion houses. The house was so short and small that it couldn't even lift its head, and with a bed and a table in it, there was no room left.
This is not the hardest, the hardest thing is to meet the food and clothing of life. At that time, due to the lack of funds for the party organization, the underground workers only had a little subsidy, which was simply not enough to meet the needs of life. Although Ren Bishi and the two were very frugal, they could only nibble on large cakes and drink boiled water to survive. Sometimes in special circumstances, the two still have to go hungry and insist on working.
Although this kind of life is very hard, the couple is very fond of each other, like-minded, and their hearts are not sad.
Sadly, in the face of the crisis brought by the enemy, his life is in danger. In 1928, Ren Bishi was unfortunately arrested. Chen Chunying received the news of Ren Bi's arrest, and took his daughter on the train overnight and rushed to Changsha to find He Weidao to rescue Ren Bishi. After many twists and turns, she finally saved Ren Bishi, but their first child unfortunately fell ill and died.
After Ren Bishi was released from prison, he learned the news of the child's death, tightly held his wife's hand, and did not speak for a long time. As sons and daughters of the Party, they dedicate everything they have to the Party, and being strong and indomitable is their character.
In 1929, Ren Bishi was arrested again and was brutalized by electrocution. Chen Chunying received the news, disguised as the merchant's wife, and fought with the murderous enemy to rescue her husband who was in prison again. These two times Chen Chunying stepped forward, both of which proved Chen Chunying's deep affection for Ren Bishi.
Of course, the years of underground revolutionary work experience, they also paid a great price. Due to work reasons, their first three children have unfortunately died due to various reasons, which is not a small blow to Chen Chunying.
In 1931, according to the orders of the party organization, Ren Bishi was to go to the Central Soviet District to work. At that time, Chen Chunying was pregnant and could not accompany her, but could only stay. When the two were parting, Ren Bishi patiently comforted his wife: "Don't be afraid, be strong, after the birth of the child, whether male or female, we call him Yuanzhi, I hope he can have a lofty ambition." ”
However, within 100 days of the child's birth, Chen Chunying and the child were arrested and imprisoned for betrayal by traitors. In prison, she faced the severe torture of the enemy, insisted that she was only a country woman, refused to admit her identity, and never gave important information about the party organization.
Even so, she was held for nearly half a year. In the past six months, she has suffered a lot, and her daughter, who is not yet one year old, is even more hungry and thin. In the end, because the enemy had not been able to grasp the evidence, coupled with the rescue of the party organization, Chen Chunying was released from prison. Soon after she went out, she received a telegram from Zhou Enlai asking her to rush to the Central Soviet Region.
In desperation, she entrusted her daughter to her hometown and embarked on the road to Jiangxi Su District. During the Ruijin Soviet District in Jiangxi, Chen Chunying's revolutionary process also underwent a historic change -- under the introduction of Deng Yingchao, Chen Chunying successfully joined the party and joined the central confidential section.
Comrades who can enter the work of the Central Committee must be revolutionary comrades who are deeply trusted by the Party organizations. Chen's long underground work, coupled with her performance in prison, shows that she has become a strong-willed revolutionary and valued by the party organization.
Later, Ren Bishi served as the secretary of the provincial party committee, vigorously mobilizing young comrades to join the Red Army and expanding the ranks of the Red Army. He thought that his wife Chen Chunying had done underground and confidential work, but had not yet come to the countryside to do propaganda work, so he suggested that Chen Chunying go to the countryside to carry out revolutionary work.
Soon, at the suggestion of Ren Bishi, Chen Chunying signed up for a propaganda team to expand the red, and went from house to house to explain the policies of the Red Army. With her hard work, she successfully introduced many young local women to join the Red Army and pulled out a detachment of women and girls back to the army.
After completing the task perfectly, she couldn't express the joy in her heart. Back at her residence, she shared the good news with Ren Bishi. After Ren Bishi listened, he took Chen Chunying's hand and said, "Haha, our Chen Chunying has a long skill, and has learned to recruit soldiers and buy horses, but it is remarkable." Ren Bishi was sincerely happy for Chen Chunying's progress, and the two truly became a pair of revolutionary partners who made mutual progress.
In 1934, Ren Bishi followed the troops to begin the western expedition. On the way, Chen Chunying became pregnant again and gave birth to a son, Ren Xianggan. However, at that time, the revolutionary situation was grim, and the march was arduous, so she could only hand over her son to her compatriots to raise, but unfortunately, her whereabouts were unknown and she disappeared completely.
Soon the Red Army's Long March began again, and Chen Chunying embarked on a difficult Long March when he followed Ren Bi. When the troops marched to the meadows of Aba, Chen Chunying gave birth to a daughter, Ren Expedition. At that time, the conditions of the Red Army were very difficult, there was no grain, Chen Chunying had just produced a weak body, and Ren Bishi's health was not good.
Despite this, Ren Bishi still dragged the sick body, followed Zhu De to dig wild vegetables, fished to supplement Chen Chunying's body, and raised young life. At that time, Ren Bishi carried the child on his back, supported Chen Chunying with one hand, and embarked on the march with difficulty. The two of them were able to complete the Long March, which was really difficult and difficult.
At that time, there were also many Red Army soldiers, but they all chose to give their children to their compatriots, and Ren Bishi and his wife took their children out of the Long March, which shows the deep love of Ren Bishi and his wife for their children.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Ren Bishi went to the front line of the battlefield to fight the enemy, while Chen Chunying stayed in the Soviet area to work. For the sake of revolutionary work, she once again chose to send her children back to her hometown and carry out revolutionary work with peace of mind. A few years later, on the orders of the central authorities, the couple came to the Soviet Union for two years of exotic time. During this time, they gave birth to a daughter, Ren Yuanfang.
After the outbreak of the Liberation War, Ren Bishi and his wife had to leave their daughter in the Soviet Union and return to China to participate in the battle. For the victory of the revolution, they could only bear to send their children away one by one, and they could not stay with them.
In 1946, because of the long and arduous revolutionary war environment, coupled with day and night work, Ren Bishi's body was overwhelmed, and he was detected to have cerebral vascular sclerosis, which affected his binocular vision, and his condition was very serious. Perhaps he stopped working at this time and had a chance to recover, but unfortunately, history and reality did not give him such an opportunity.
The following year, Hu Zongnan invaded Yan'an on a large scale, and the Party Central Committee was divided into three, and Ren Bishi became a member of the former committee and remained in the Soviet region to continue to direct the struggle. In the Soviet area, Ren Bishi dragged the sick body, arranged guards, organized anti-war materials, participated in the command of the battle, and became the busiest person in the Soviet area.
His wife, Chen Chunying, took care of Ren Bishi's body while busy with revolutionary work. During this time, she gave birth to her youngest son, Ren Yuanyuan.
In 1949, after the founding of New China, Ren Bishi came to the Soviet Union for treatment. The treatment did not last long, and with the outbreak of the Korean War, Ren Bishi began to work again.
At this time, he forgot the doctor's instructions and began to work all night, busy with government affairs from all directions every day, day and night. His wife, Chen Chunying, was worried about his body and advised him to rest well and continue to be busy tomorrow. Ren Bishi insisted that tomorrow and tomorrow's things would happen. Under such high-intensity work, Ren Bishi suddenly broke out a large area of cerebral hemorrhage and eventually died.
The death of Ren Bishi was undoubtedly a huge blow to Chen Chunying. When he died, the eldest daughter of the family was 19 years old, and the youngest son was only 9 years old, Chen Chunying looked at the young children, wiped away tears, supported the family's sky, and raised four children to grow up.
In 1965, the eldest daughter, Ren Yuanzhi, joined the army. That day, Ren Yuanzhi came home in a military uniform and let Chen Chunying see it. Chen Chunying was very happy to see her daughter's military uniform. At that time, the military uniform was still very similar to the uniform of the Red Army's Long March, and When Chen Chunying saw the uniform, he couldn't help but say to his daughter: "Yuanzhi, I also want to wear a military uniform." ”
Hearing this, the daughter understood in her heart that her mother, Chen Chunying, was reminded of the revolutionary years of the past. It is reassuring that in 1986, the Central Committee held a meeting to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March, and the Central Committee gave each person a Red Army hat as a souvenir. After Chen Chunying got the military hat, he couldn't let go of it, put it on and took it off in the mirror, and looked at the military hat reluctantly.
In her heart, that revolutionary career of sharing weal and woe with her husband is a memory that will never be forgotten in her heart.
On the anniversary of Ren Bishi's death, Zhou Enlai made a special visit to Chen Chunying and the child. Chen Chunying is very grateful for the care of the organization, unwilling to add trouble to the organization, and chooses to raise the child alone. In order to raise 4 children, she saves money and provides for children to study and go to school.
Her diligent efforts, but also in exchange for good results, ren family several children grew up safely, and did not live up to the expectations of their parents, one by one to go to college, join the party, work, life is happy. Children also learn from their parents the excellent qualities of thrift and thrift, hard work and struggle, and become people who contribute to society.
In his later years, Chen Chunying's body also began to weaken gradually, and he had to be admitted to the hospital. But she still maintained an optimistic style of life, gritted her teeth to survive the pain, insisted on getting out of the hospital bed, came to the ground and walked around, took a look. When she was seriously ill, her body was extremely weak, and she could only lie in a hospital bed. Until the last critical illness, Chen Chunying never survived the torture of the disease and finally died.
Mr. and Mrs. Ren Bishi had a total of 9 children, and since Ren Bishi's death, Chen Chunying has been widowed for 53 years. During these 53 long years, she devoted herself to raising children and loving to recall her previous revolutionary career. Her life has gone through ups and downs, through the loss of daughters, sons, and fathers, she has survived strongly, and survived the hardships of life with a tenacious spirit. Like her husband Ren Bishi, she bowed down to the cause of the revolution and died.
The Slovaks have all passed away, and the love legend left by the two is still praised by the world.
