As a well-known anti-Japanese hero, Zhao Yiman's great name is spread among the world's population, and she is destined to be immortal and live forever in people's hearts. Zhao Yiman was shot by the Japanese in Zhuhe County, Heilongjiang Province, in 1936, and when she was executed, her son was thousands of miles away and did not have time to see her mother for the last time. As Zhao Yiman's son, he refused to receive his mother's pension and carved three words on his arm to remember his mother.
Zhao Yiman's son is called Chen Yexian, which is the crystallization of her and Chen Dabang's love. In 1930, shortly after his birth, Chen Yexian was separated from his mother, and Zhao Yiman was sent to the northeast to carry out secret party missions. With the continuous occupation of the northeast by the Japanese army, Zhao Yiman's task became heavier and heavier, and the working environment became more and more dangerous, but she still put the interests of the country and the nation first and insisted on working on the front line. In 1936, she was unfortunately captured by the Japanese army, during which she was tortured and tortured by various inhumans by the Japanese army, but she never gave in and still insisted on her beliefs. After all the results of his torture, the brutal Japanese army decided to execute him secretly. But before being executed, Zhao Yiman allowed to write a letter to her family, and she left a letter for her son, which was full of love for the country and expectations for her son.
After Zhao Yiman's sacrifice, Chen Yexian also learned of this matter, but because of his young age, he did not understand what it meant. However, the three words "Zhao Yiman" were firmly remembered by him, and it was not until the adults understood that he finally knew the importance of this name to him. After the founding of New China, the government posthumously crowned Zhao Yiman as a martyr and gave his family a pension. But Chen Yexian refused to receive a pension, believing that he could not consume the deceased, because it was his mother's life in exchange.
In order to express his memory of his mother, he also engraved her name on his arm so that he could see her from time to time. In 1956, he also came to the Northeast Martyrs Memorial Hall, where he finally saw his mother's last letter in person. After reading his mother's will, he was very sad, and after that, he became more and more depressed, often thinking of his mother. As his grief grew, Chen yexian chose to hang himself in 1982 at the age of 55.
