In the world anti-fascist war, countless heroes emerged, like Zoya of the Soviet Union and Zhao Yiman of China, who have greatly inspired the courage of their own people to continue to struggle!
But here's a question, do you know what Zhao Yiman's original name is?
Speaking of Zhao Yiman's identity was once very mysterious, in 1950, the film "Zhao Yiman" shot by Changchun Film Studio was released, and the name of this anti-Japanese heroine spread throughout the north and south of the river. Her family had seen the film at the time, but it was not at all clear who she was.
Until 1955, several of Zhao Yiman's former comrades-in-arms identified through photos and determined that the heroine's original name was Li Yichao, who had been a staff member of the Shanghai government.
She is a person worthy of our admiration, and her deeds have been widely known, in fact, the identity of her husband Chen Dabang is also not simple!
Chen Dabang was born in 1900 in Changsha, Hunan Province, in a scholarly mendi, and his aunt married Ren Zhensheng, Ren Bishi's father, and the two families were also cousins. He was about the same age as Ren Bishi, had a good time since childhood, and studied together in Changsha.
The relationship between the two of them is not only that, Chen Dabang has a two-year-old younger sister Chen Chunying, who is a green plum bamboo horse with Ren Bishi, and married Ren Bishi in 1926, so Chen Dabang became Ren Bishi's brother-in-law.
After kissing the emperor, Ren Bishi decided to take Chen Dabang on the revolutionary road, and he and Chen Chunying jointly wrote a letter to his hometown in Changsha to mobilize Chen Dabang to apply for the Whampoa Military Academy.
Chen Dabang was also a patriotic heart, and after seeing the letter, he immediately went south to enter the sixth phase of Huangpu, and after joining the party the following year, he was sent to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, the Soviet Union for further study.
There were dozens of people who set out with him, each of which was grouped into a group, and Chen Dabang was designated as the leader of one of the groups, and Li Yichao was in his group.
Li Yichao was born in a landlord family in Yibin, Sichuan, he has not suffered anything since he was a child, and he has vomited in a mess on the boat, and it is Chen Dabang who takes good care of her on the side, so li Yichao has a grateful heart.
After arriving in the Soviet Union, Li Yichao was not familiar with Russian, so the efficiency of learning was very slow, and it was Chen Dabang's patient guidance that allowed her to adapt to the foreign environment as quickly as possible. Over time, the two had feelings for each other.
During the International Labor Day in 1928, the two were approved by the school to marry and spent two years of happiness in the Soviet Union. However, after Li Yichao became pregnant, her thoughts of returning to her hometown were extremely strong, and after the approval of the organization, she returned to China first, while Chen Dabang continued to stay in the Soviet Union for further study.
At that time, neither of them thought that this trip would be a farewell.
Li Yichao gave birth to a son shortly after returning to China, named "Ning Er", she considered that she was engaged in secret work, at any time may be sacrificed, in order to let her son have a stable growth environment, she put ning Er, who was more than one year old, in the home of Chen Yueyun, Chen Dabang's brother.
After the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, Li Yichao took the initiative to ask Miao to go to the northeast to support the anti-Japanese cause, and thus began to use the pseudonym "Zhao Yiman". She worked hard to mobilize the masses and build guerrilla groups, and once served as the political commissar of the Second Regiment of the Third Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army.
Unfortunately, the anti-Japanese situation was not fully unfolded that year, coupled with the betrayal of traitors, Li Yichao finally bravely rebelled in 1936.
All this, Chen Dabang, who was far away, knew nothing.
In fact, not long after Li Yichao returned to China, Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow was dissolved, and Chen Dabang became the director of the Chinese Printing Department of Moscow Foreign Publishing House, where he formed an indissoluble relationship with the printing industry.
In 1935, Wu Yuzhang founded the "National Salvation Times" in Paris, France, and Chen Dabang was transferred to preside over the printing business, serving as the director of the printing department and the director of the printing plant of the "National Salvation Times".
Originally, the Comintern wanted to move the "National Salvation Times" to the United States for printing and publishing, so Chen Dabang waited in Paris to accept the task, but he waited for the left and the right, and never waited for the day when the trip was completed.
Other Chinese returned to China one after another, and Chen Dabang felt that he could not play any role while staying in Paris, so he set off for China in 1942.
When Chen Dabang first returned to China, he had no place to live, so he went to trust his brother Chen Yueyun, who opened a printing factory in Chongqing. Here, he met his son Ning Er for the first time, and knew that his wife had gone to the northeast and never returned, and he also knew in his heart that his wife was probably less fierce.
Later, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Dabang used the advanced technology he learned abroad to help his brother's printing plant to do things, which greatly improved the printing speed and printing quality, so that the number of customers in their printing plant increased rapidly, and the business continued to expand. The two Chen brothers are also famous and are known as the "King of Printing".
After the founding of New China, there was an urgent need for a set of his own currency, at which time Chen Dabang, who had been engaged in printing for a long time and mastered the most advanced printing technology at that time, attracted the attention of the high-level. Under the strong recommendation of Dong Biwu and Wu Yuzhang, Chen Dabang entered the Printing Bureau of the Head Office of the Chinese Min min bank and was responsible for the printing of the new version of the renminbi.
Later, Chen Bangda also secretly went to the Soviet Union as a special member of the Foreign Business Bureau of the Chinese Min min bank to deal with the printing of money, from the font pattern of the new version of the renminbi, to overcoming the technical difficulties in the printing process, to the final packing and transportation, it can be said that Chen Bangda participated in every step.
In 1955, the second set of renminbi was officially issued and used, which played a great role in stabilizing the national economy at that time, and Chen Bangda contributed a lot in this matter, and this identity is also quite proud! It was also in the same year that he learned that Zhao Yiman was originally his wife Li Yichao.
It goes back to 1953, when Li Yichao's sister, Li Kunjie, wrote to Premier Zhou, hoping to know the whereabouts of his sister, who had worked in the Shanghai central government and was a subordinate of Premier Zhou.
But because of the past too many years, Premier Zhou suddenly did not remember who Li Yichao was, so he entrusted Cai Chang, chairman of the Women's Federation, and Liu Yaxiong, vice minister of labor, to help find it, but they did not know the situation.
However, Li Kunjie did not stop the pace of searching, through many efforts, through Li Yichao's original comrades-in-arms and the Northeast Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall confirmed that the Zhao Yiman who was bent on revolution without fear of death in the movie was Li Yichao! Li Kunjie wrote to the Chen family in 1955, 19 years after Li Yichao became righteous.
In the war years, a distinction may be to say goodbye, no one will want to leave their loved ones, but many people still abandon all this for the sake of revolution.
A hero like Zhao Yiman who gives up his small family and for everyone is really admirable!
