On April 6, 1927, the great patriot of our Party, Li Dazhao, was arrested, and he was still fighting with the reactionary warlords in prison, resolutely unwilling to reveal any information about our Party, and the reactionary warlords tortured Li Dazhao, and after 22 days of cruel treatment, there was still no way to get any useful information from Li Dazhao's mouth, and the reactionary warlords became angry and angry, and persecuted Li Dazhao.
When Li Dazhao was sacrificed, he was only 38 years old, but in such a short life, Li Dazhao did too many wonderful things and made too many contributions to the party and the country and the people, not only Li Dazhao, his wife was silently paying for the revolution, and the couple supported each other to achieve a magnificent chapter.
Li Dazhao's wife silently supported Li Dazhao
The Li family and the Zhao family are family friends, and the relationship between the two families is very good, so when Li Dazhao was only 10 years old, the Zhao family married the elder Li Dazhao's 6-year-old daughter Zhao Shulan to him, and the main reason why Li Dazhao was married at such a young age was because Li Dazhao was an orphan, and after the Zhao family married their daughter to Li Dazhao, there was also a more suitable name to take care of Li Dazhao.
Although Zhao Shulan is Li Dazhao's wife, but it is more like an obscure sister of his, after marrying Li Dazhao, Zhao Shulan has been tirelessly taking care of and supporting Li Dazhao, with the support of Zhao Shulan, Li Dazhao was able to study wholeheartedly, and finally was admitted to Tianjin Beiyang Law and Politics College for further study.
At that time, want to study in such a school, the tuition fee that needed to be spent was a huge amount of money, Li Dazhao himself did not have the ability to pay such a huge tuition fee at that time, zhao Shulan silently tried to solve the problem for Li Dazhao behind his back, in order to raise more money to support Li Dazhao to continue to study, Zhao Shulan did not hesitate to sell dozens of acres of good land at home, and finally raised enough money for Li Dazhao to study for six years.
From 1907 to 1913, Zhao Shulan worked hard to earn money for Li Dazhao to study, has been obscure, but has never complained, after Li Dazhao graduated from the vocational school, and then planned to continue to Japan to further study for three years, if replaced by an ordinary woman, Absolutely not allowed Li Dazhao to continue to study, but Zhao Linglan is different, she not only agreed to Li Dazhao to study in Japan, but also went all out to silently support Li Dazhao behind his back.
Li Dazhao went for another 3 years, until 1916, when he returned from studying in Japan, after returning from studying, Li Dazhao did not immediately find a stable job, but after two years in 1918, he officially went to Peking University and became the director of the library, which was considered to have a stable job and income.
From the time Li Dazhao entered the vocational school in 1907 to the official visit to Peking University as a librarian in 1918, a total of 11 years before and after, during these times, Zhao Linglan not only needed to earn money for Li Dazhao to study, but also to take care of the two children, which was extremely hard, but she never complained about anything.
Zhao Shulan has no knowledge and culture, and is also 6 years older Than Li Dazhao, by the time Li Dazhao went to Peking University, Zhao Shulan has been nearly confused, plus has been more difficult, it seems that there is obviously some vicissitudes, many people after seeing her, they do not dare to believe that this person is actually the talented Mrs. Li Dazhao.
In the eyes of outsiders, they will feel that the two are not a good match, but Li Dazhao is in stark contrast to those who are popular literati and inkers at that time, he insists that he must be "monogamous", in the face of the pursuit of some female students, Li Dazhao has never wavered the love for his wife in his heart, which is a very rare and valuable quality of that era.
Li Dazhao insisted on using the money in party activities
After Li Dazhao became the director of the library of Peking University, he also served as a professor at Peking University, a professor at female normal university, a professor at Chaoyang University and a professor at a Chinese university, and the salaries of these positions were quite a lot at that time, of which the salary of Peking University alone was 120 silver yuan, and the rest all added up to about 180 silver dollars, that is to say, Li Dazhao's monthly salary was about 300 silver dollars at that time.
At that time, the purchasing power of a silver dollar was very strong, basically you can buy 40 pounds of rice, the living expenses of ordinary people in a month are enough for a few silver dollars, Li Dazhao's salary can buy a good house, can have such a high salary, it is reasonable to say that Li Dazhao's family should be very rich, but the real situation is not so.
Li Dazhao's family is not only not rich, but also very frugal, and his wife Zhao Shulan only has 50 silver yuan per month for living expenses, which need to be used to cover all the expenses of the whole family, including meals, clothes and children's tuition, which are included in this living expenses.
Li Dazhao has a salary of 300 silver dollars a month, even if he gives his wife 50 silver dollars, is there not 250 silver dollars left, where does this money go? In fact, Li Dazhao used this money to fund some poor students, as well as for the usual expenses of our party's activities, he would often overspend, so that the living expenses of the family were not enough, in order to prevent Li Dazhao from overspending, Cai Yuanpei would later take out 50 silver yuan in advance when paying wages, and then give it to Zhao Shulan for the living needs of Li Dazhao's family.
Li Dazhao was a revolutionary teacher and one of the founders of our Party, so at the beginning of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Li Dazhao often needed to receive some representatives of the Communist International or like-minded companions at home.
Although Zhao Shulan has no culture and cannot understand Li Dazhao's heroic ambitions about the revolution, she has played an important role in the process of every party activity, not only preparing delicious meals and tea for everyone, but also helping everyone to stand at the door and keep the guard to ensure everyone's safety.
Obviously, she is a traditional woman, and she does not have much cultural knowledge, but for Li Dazhao and the activities of our party, Zhao Shulan has always supported it unconditionally, and it can be said that at the beginning of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Li Dazhao was the teacher of the revolution, and Zhao Shulan was the supporter of the greatest selfless dedication behind the revolutionary ancestors such as Li Dazhao.
In 1926, after the "March 18 Massacre", the situation of Li Dazhao and his wife became more dangerous, Li Dazhao had the opportunity to leave Beijing to avoid the limelight, but he insisted on staying in Beijing, and less than half a year after Zhao Shulan gave birth to his youngest son Li Xinhua, Li Dazhao was arrested.
On April 6, 1927, Li Dazhao and his wife and daughter were arrested together, Zhao Shulan saw Li Dazhao for the last time in court, the younger son did not have time to call out to his father, Li Dazhao died on April 28 under the persecution of the enemy.
After Li Dazhao's sacrifice, the family's life became even worse, and Li Dazhao, who was originally paid a very high salary, used all his salary to fund the expenses of poor students and our party's activities; at the time of sacrifice, he left only one silver dollar as the living expenses of his wife and children, so that all the people who had been to Li Dazhao's home were moved to tears, and this was Li Dazhao's great and selfless revolutionary spirit.
epilogue
It is precisely because of the combination of revolutionary ancestors such as Li Dazhao and Zhao Shulan that we later became the Communist Party, and it is precisely because of the Communist Party that there was a new China, and only then did we have the happy life we have today.
