In the spring of 1985, when Pyongyang, North Korea, was still cold, a train slowly stopped at the Pyongyang railway station, and when the train stopped, a pair of brothers and sisters on the train were stunned by the scene in front of them and did not know what was happening. The two brothers and sisters suddenly remembered that when they set out from Beijing, the North Korean ambassador to China at that time said to his brother Zhang Jinquan:
"Mr. Jang, all the Korean people are waiting for you."
At first, Zhang Jinquan only thought that this was a kind word.
The Zhang family brothers and sisters and a group of people
The two brothers and sisters who stepped off the train were surrounded by a huge wave of noise, and the North Korean teenager waved flowers in his hands and shouted in his mouth."
Zhang Weihua, welcome" "Welcome, Zhang Weihua"
。 Decades later, Zhang Jinquan still remembers the details of that time, although they were all dirt roads, but sprinkled with water and clean, which shows how much the North Korean people attached importance to this matter at that time. So what is the relationship between Zhang Jinquan and Zhang Weihua, and what is the story of Zhang Jinquan's brothers and sisters and North Korea? Let's decipher them one by one
The rich young master meets the wanderer
To find out the truth, you need to go back to that war-torn era. After Japan annexed the Korean Peninsula in 1910, under Japanese colonial rule, the Korean people lived a miserable life. People of insight in Korea began to resist Japanese colonial rule and organized revolutionary forces at home.
In the face of north Korean resistance, the Japanese raised their butcher knives and launched a search and arrest throughout the country.
In the face of the strong japanese forces, the resistance in Korea was devastated, and many revolutionary heroes gave their precious lives. In order to preserve the seeds of the revolution, some young Koreans went into exile in the northeast of our country. Among them was a young man named Kim Hyung-ji, and it is estimated that most people have not heard of this name, but
He had a son who was famous, named Kim Sung-joo, later Kim Il-sung, but this is an afterthought.
In 1920, under the pursuit of the Japanese, Kim Hyung-ji took his whole family into exile in the northeast of China, when Kim Sung-joo was only eight years old and could not understand what the revolution really was. After Kim Hyung-ji's family arrived in the northeast, they had no fixed place to live, begging while wandering, and their lives were particularly difficult. Kim Hyung-ji had planned to stay in the northeast for a while and then return to Korea to continue the revolution, not thinking that the Japanese had extended their black hands to every inch of Korea's land, and could not return to Korea for the time being.
Kim Hyung Ji
The young Jin Hengji looked at his family who was sleeping in the wind and food, and his heart was very sad, and then he decided to settle down in Fusong County, Jilin Province, but it was not easy to talk about it in a foreign country where he was not familiar with life. Kim Hyung-ji first thought of the local government, and he came to the Fusong County government at that time to apply for a residence permit.
Fortunately, he met the county magistrate Liu Tiancheng, but unfortunately Liu Tiancheng explicitly rejected him.
In fact, Liu Tiancheng had no way, at that time, a large number of North Korean exiles broke into Fusong County, and Zhang Dashuai issued a special order a few days ago to strictly control the Korean exiles. Therefore, Jang Seong-jae rejected Kim Hyung-jae, and after coming out of the county, in the face of the current predicament, Kim Hyung-jae was discouraged and felt that life had lost hope.
Who in a foreign country can pull him a hand, thinking about it, the desperate Kim Hyung-ji thought of his hometown Choi Kyung-ming, hoping that he could help himself. However, this time it disappointed Kim Hyung-ji again, Choi Kyung-myung is an ordinary citizen who has no ability to help Kim Hyung-ji. However, Choi Kyung-myung showed Kim Hyung-ji a clear path and asked him to find Zhang Wancheng, the county's rich man.
Sometimes fate is so wonderful, at this time Mrs. Zhang Wancheng is seriously ill, and has found all the Langzhong who can be found nearby, but the condition still does not improve. In this way, Kim Hyung-ji, who knows a little about medical science, was given a chance, hoping that this would help him settle down in Fusong County. So with the mentality of trying it out,
Kim Hyung-ji successfully entered the Zhang Mansion on the occasion of seeing Mrs. Zhang Wancheng, and after some diagnosis and treatment, Kim Hyung-ji prescribed medicine.
After taking a few pairs of medicines, Mrs. Zhang Wancheng's illness slowly improved, and Jin Hengji became a distinguished guest of the Zhang family, and after Zhang Wancheng learned the news that Jin Hengji wanted to be rejected in Fusong's home, Zhang Wancheng personally went to the county to intercede for him. Although the county magistrate was reluctant, he was also embarrassed to refute Wancheng's face.
Only then did the wandering family settle down.

Since then, the Jin family and the Zhang family have moved around more and more frequently, and the Jin family's Jin Chengzhu and the second son of the Zhang family, Zhang Weihua, have become good friends who talk about everything, and the two go to school together, read books together, and play together, as if there are never-ending words between them, and this innocent time has left an indelible mark on each other's hearts.
Kim Sung-joo also learned to speak fluent Northeast Chinese.
Growing up, Jin Chengzhu often talked to Zhang Weihua about the suffering of the people in his hometown, and also showed Zhang Weihua many progressive books, such as the famous "Communist Manifesto", "History of the Russian Revolution and Lenin". These books shocked Zhang Weihua, like reopening a world.
And these progressive ideas were like seeds, planting a red dream in the hearts of the two teenagers. Jin Chengzhu became the leader of Zhang Weihua's revolution and became the object of Zhang Weihua's admiration.
Happy days always pass quickly, and the feelings between teenagers are pure and beautiful.
The accident came, and the two embarked on different paths
On June 5, 1926, due to years of travel, Kim Hyung-ji was seriously overdrawn and died of illness. Kim Hyung-ji's sudden death is a thunderbolt for the family, and there are three children in the family, the oldest Kim Sung-joo is only 14 years old. The burden of the family was all on the body of Kang Panshi, Kim Hyung-ji's wife, but fortunately, with the help of his friend Zhang Wancheng's family.
The feelings between the two families became deeper and deeper after Kim Hyung-ji's death, and in the dark days, Jang Wei-hwa stayed with Kim Sung-joo and often enlightened him. Accompanied by Zhang Weihua, Jin Chengzhu slowly walked out of the pain.
Kang Pan Stone
After graduating from elementary school in 1927, Kim Sung-joo followed his father's will to study in Jilin City, and organized the establishment of the "Korean Communist Youth League" during his studies, which gradually grew into the main backbone.
On the other hand, Zhang Weihua stayed in his hometown to continue his studies. However, in Zhang Wancheng's heart, he wanted his son to inherit his ancestral business. There are three sons in the Zhang family, of which the second son Zhang Weihua has a talent for business, so Zhang Wancheng pins all his family hopes on Zhang Weihua.
Fate is always elusive, since getting along with Jin Chengzhu, red thoughts have soaked Zhang Weihua's entire body.
Seeing that his son's mind was uncertain, Zhang Wancheng had repeatedly persuaded his son to study hard, inherit his ancestral business, and become a useful businessman in society. The contradictions between father and son are also getting bigger and bigger, even fierce quarrels.
Zhang family old house
The quarrel could not solve the problem, in order to tie up his son's restless heart, Zhang Wancheng specially married a wife for him, Wanwan did not expect that after marriage, Zhang Weihua suddenly disappeared, but also took Zhang Wancheng's gun. After discovering that his son was missing, Zhang Wancheng, as a father, was naturally worried and quickly sent someone to look for him. Later, after some inquiry, Zhang Weihua was finally found at Jin Chengzhu and became a teacher under Jin Chengzhu's arrangement. Later, due to the development of the revolutionary situation, the revolutionary contingent led by Jin Chengzhu moved to the mountainous areas. Zhang Weihua returned to his hometown under Jin Chengzhu's arrangement and waited for the opportunity.
The Zhang family father and son have repeatedly fought to help each other
At that time, Japanese imperialism began to collude with the warlords of the Bong clan and hunt down rebel forces on a large scale in the northeast region. The revolutionary forces led by Kim Sung-joo suffered defeat, and Kim Sung-joo was also arrested and imprisoned by the reactionary forces. He was tortured in prison, but never revealed information about the revolution, and was later rescued by various forces. He was not released until August of the following year.
After hearing the news of Jin Chengzhu's release, Zhang Weihua rushed to Jilin City, but after several days of searching, there was still no trace of Jin Chengzhu. In desperation, Zhang Weihua could only return by train.
Kim il sung
Zhang Weihua did not expect to meet Jin Chengzhu on the train. After Jin Chengzhu was rescued from prison, he had planned to continue his revolutionary activities in Jilin City. After his release from prison, Jin Chengzhu found that Jilin City was full of enemy forces. If the consequences were unimaginable once exposed, he later boarded a train with the help of his comrades-in-arms and prepared to leave Jilin City.
As soon as Jin Chengzhu boarded the car, he found that the police were searching for passenger documents, and suddenly felt that something was not good, and now a little abnormality would be found by the police, and he was still registered at the police station, and it was almost impossible to escape.
When Jin Chengzhu felt embarrassed, Zhang Weihua suddenly appeared, and seeing this situation, Zhang Weihua quickly pulled Jin Chengzhu to his own carriage. Because Zhang Weihua's carriage was full of powerful people. Rely on Zhang Weihua's protection. Jin Chengzhu successfully escaped the disaster. After the train arrived at the station, it successfully left the railway station under the protection of zhangjiabing.
Zhang Weihua
After returning home, the two talked all night long, Jin Chengzhu talked about his revolutionary past, zhang Weihua also talked about his own experience, and proposed to Jin Chengzhu that he wanted to join the revolutionary ranks. However, Jin Chengzhu did not agree to Zhang Weihua's request, mainly because he was worried about his personal safety. Soon after, Jin Chengzhu left the Zhang family to continue his revolutionary activities. Before leaving, Zhang Weihua asked Jin Chengzhu what he needed most now. Jin Chengzhu stammered and said, "Gun",
Zhang Weihua patted his chest and said, "Guarantee to complete the task."
”。
After Kim Sung-joo left, Jang Wei-hwa gathered more than forty guns from underworld and big smokers through various channels, which was the initial weapon of the Korean People's Army. Zhang Weihua not only sent weapons to the revolutionary contingent, but also sent a lot of daily necessities. Jin Chengzhu has always remembered Zhang Weihua's contribution. Later Kim Sung-joo wrote in his memoirs:
"These guns that Wei Hua gave us are the first weapons of the revolutionary armed forces!"
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was July 1937, the revolutionary contingent led by Kim Sung-joo suffered a huge blow, the Japanese sent elite troops to surround and suppress the revolutionary army led by Kim Sung-joo, under the attack of the Japanese army, Kim Sung-joo's troops were extremely short of materials and had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food. There was no way for Jin Chengzhu to contact Zhang Weihua, hoping that he could help. After receiving the news from Jin Chengzhu, Zhang Weihua was very excited, and this big brother was still alive.
Statue of Zhang Weihua
Zhang Weihua began to collect materials non-stop, and within three days, Zhang Weihua sent a large number of important living materials to the mountain, and after that, Zhang Weihua sent materials to the mountain from time to time. His perverse behavior attracted the attention of the Japanese, who began to send people to follow Zhang Weihua. In October 1937, a Korean, Jeong Joo-hae, came to Jang Wei-hwa's photo studio, and the two had worked together before, and Zhang Weihua was naturally happy when he saw Jeong Joo-hoe. After the two exchanged greetings, Zheng Xuehai suddenly proposed to report to his superiors and asked Zhang Weihua if he knew the whereabouts of Jin Chengzhu. The defenseless Zhang Weihua almost blurted out, and swallowed the words back to his mouth.
Accidentally arrested, heroic sacrifice
Zhang Weihua quickly said:
"You're violating organizational discipline!"
Zheng Xuehai's face instantly pulled down and he left sadly. Zhang Weihua was scared out of a cold sweat when he thought about it afterwards, and almost made a big mistake that could not be repaired. At this time, Zheng Xuehai had defected to the enemy, and a few days later, due to Zheng Xuehai's whistle-blowing, Zhang Weihua was arrested by the Japanese gendarmerie. In prison, the Japanese used all the criminal laws to beat Zhang Weihua to the point that he was no longer human, and still did not get any news about Jin Chengzhu.
After Zhang Weihua was arrested, Zhang Weihua's father was anxious and used all his connections to release Zhang Weihua on bail. The Japanese did not really want to let Zhang Weihua go, but wanted to find Jin Chengzhu through Zhang Weihua. After returning home, Zhang Weihua had difficulty sleeping all night, afraid that he would involve his eldest brother Jin Chengzhu because of himself.
He also thought about running, running to places where there were no Japanese, and then thinking about what his family would do if he ran, and what his young children would do.
There is only one way to solve the current dilemma, that is, to die by yourself, and if you don't hear it wrong, it is death.
Since having this idea, Zhang Weihua began to recall the past, recall his own growth experience, recall the bits and pieces with his family, and the days when he fought side by side with Jin Chengzhu.
He loves them, and he loves the world, but he has to die.
One day in the photo studio, after Zhang Weihua handed over the information to his comrades, he looked at the back of the comrades who left safely, and Zhang Weihua smiled happily. The next day Zhang Weihua came to the photo studio and took out the photo
He drank all the mercury potions and ended his short life at the age of 25.
Since there was no news of Zhang Weihua for many days, Jin Chengzhu was worried, and he sent people out to inquire, and there was no news of Zhang Weihua. When he received Zhang Weihua's information, Jin Chengzhu slumped into a chair and did not say a word. In Kim Sung-joo's memoirs, he wrote:
Receiving the bad news of Zhang Weihua's suicide, my spirit was shaking, and on that grief-stricken day, hundreds of lamented elegies sounded in my chest.
After receiving the information, Jin Chengzhu immediately led the team to move and continue to fight between the White Mountains and Black Water, moving forward for the revolution. In August 1945, the Japanese invaders surrendered, and Kim Sung-joo returned to Korea, leading the Korean people to begin building their homeland.
The friendship that lasts five generations
But no matter what happened later, Kim Il Sung never forgot Zhang Weihua's family and sent people to find Zhang Weihua's descendants many times. In 1959, taking advantage of the opportunity to visit China, North Korean committee member Park Yong-jin went to look for Jang Wei-hwa's family, and later found Jang-woo's family with the help of public security personnel. Jang Wei-hwa's wife was so moved that she gave Kim Il-sung a photo of Jang Wei-hwa, which was later sent to the North Korean Museum.
He also told everyone that Zhang Weihua was his friend and most loyal revolutionary comrade-in-arms
。 This made Jang Weihua a hero known to everyone in North Korea.
Later, the special period came, making all this a luxury, and twenty years passed in a flash, and the old people had passed away, and the opportunities for the two families to see each other were getting less and less.
North Korea Museum
Sometimes fate is so wonderful, after some twists and turns, under the arrangement of the two governments, the descendants of the Zhang family finally stepped on the train to North Korea. Then there's the scene at the beginning of the article.
The brothers and sisters, Jang Kim-chun and Jang Kim-rok, were received at the highest level in North Korea.
Kim Il Sung and the descendants of the Zhang family
Kim Il Sung personally received the Zhang family at the Xingfu Guest House, and after the meeting Kim Il Sung spoke out loud in Northeastern dialect
"Welcome"
。 At that time, Kim Il Sung seemed to have returned to the days when he and Zhang Weihua had a long talk on their knees, and after meeting, the two sides cried into a mess. Before leaving, Kim Il Sung gave the Zhang family a lot of gifts. Later, Kim Il Sung personally carved a tombstone for Zhang Weihua to commemorate Zhang Weihua's contribution. This friendship lasted for five generations between the two sides and became a good story. Kim Il Sung wrote in his memoirs:
I would love to visit Zhang Weihua's tomb in Nandianzi... I hope to be able to go to the side of my old comrades in my dreams
Zhang Weihua's tombstone
The friendship between the two families actually represents the friendship between the two countries, and this friendship is frozen in blood and is unbreakable.
