I believe that many people have read the book "Red Rock", and Sister Jiang is one of the protagonists of the book, and her revolutionary spirit has touched the people of the whole country. Sister Jiang' real name is Jiang Zhujun, and she is one of the important figures in the Chongqing area organization of the Chinese underground party.
In 1945, Jiang Zhujun and Peng Yongwu married, and the two became husband and wife. During the Liberation War, Peng Yongwu served as deputy secretary of the Eastern Sichuan Regional Working Committee and was a seasoned Communist Party member.
In the second year after jiang zhujun married her husband, she gave birth to her son Peng Yun, because of difficult childbirth, Jiang Zhujun decided to carry out a better revolution, and at the same time performed caesarean section and sterilization surgery.
In the years that followed, Jiang Zhujun and her husband went to the front line of armed struggle to fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries.
In the spring of 1948, Peng Yongwu was killed in an armed uprising, and the enemy became angry and embarrassed, and in order to kill a hundred people, Peng Yongwu's head was cut off and hung at the city gate for public display.
When Jiang Zhujun learned of her husband's sacrifice, she endured the pain of bereavement, decided to inherit her husband's great cause, and took the initiative to ask the organization to take over her husband's work.
Jiang Zhujun firmly said to the organization: The relationship of this line is only familiar to me, and it is difficult for others to replace it, and I should continue to fight in the place where Old Peng fell.
After the inspection of the party organization and fully respecting the wishes of Jiang Zhujun himself, Jiang Zhujun took over her husband's work and continued to struggle with the enemy in a harsh environment together with the comrades of the underground party.
Underground work can be dangerous at any time, and party members are ready to sacrifice for the country. Unfortunately, due to the betrayal of the traitors, Jiang Zhujun was arrested and imprisoned in the infamous Chongqing Zhazhidong Prison.

The Kuomintang agents' methods against a woman were extremely vicious, and in order to obtain valuable information from Jiang Zhujun's mouth, they were inhuman and tortured Jiang Zhujun in various ways. Jiang Zhujun's body was tortured into shapeless, and in the face of endless torture and humiliation, she did not give in, always unyielding, and did not bow to the enemy.
In November 1949, as the Kuomintang army was defeated on the frontal battlefield, agents in Chongqing carried out their last frenzy, killing the imprisoned Communists on a large scale, and the 29-year-old Jiang Zhujun died heroically at the Lanya Execution Ground of Geleshan Radio.
Jiang Zhujun and Peng Yongwu sacrificed their young lives for the revolutionary cause, and their heroic deeds will always remain in the hearts of the Chinese people. Peng Yongwu and Jiang Zhujun's son Peng Yun lost both parents from a young age, who raised him? What will you achieve when you grow up?
Sister Jiang's son - Peng Yun
In April 1946, after Jiang Zhujun gave birth to his son Peng Yun, he carefully cared for the child for more than a year. In November 1947, Jiang Zhujun could not open his body because of his revolutionary work and could not take care of his children, so he wrote a letter to ask her husband's ex-wife Tan Zhenglun to take care of him.
Tan Zhenglun is a woman who understands great righteousness, he is deeply in love with her ex-husband Peng Yongwu, and there is a child between the two named Peng Bingzhong. Jiang Zhujun knew that revolutionary work could be sacrificed at any time, but the child was innocent, he could not bear this pain, and only hoped that he would be able to serve the motherland when he grew up in the future.
Sister Jiang's family of three
Tan Zhenglun regards Peng Yun as her own, takes good care of the child, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the agents, she takes her two children around. After learning that Jiang Zhujun and Peng Yongwu had both died, Tan Zhenglun made up his mind to raise Peng Yun and tell him about the great deeds of his birth mother.
After Jiang Zhujun was arrested, he used chopsticks to grind into bamboo sticks as pens in prison, burned cotton into black charcoal as ink, and wrote a suicide note to orphans, with a paragraph expressing his wish:
Jiang Zhujun said:
"If you are unfortunate, Yun Er will give it to you, hoping to follow in the footsteps of your parents, to build a new China, and to fight to the end for the cause of the communist revolution."
This letter was written to Tan Zhenglun's younger brother Tan Zhu'an, and Sister Jiang knew that this was probably her suicide note, so she wrote it very seriously and said a lot. Although there is no flowery language in Sister Jiang's suicide note, every word is a ardent expectation for her son Peng Yun, an understanding of and gratitude for the situation of her friends.
Under the support of his stepmother Tan Zhenglun, Peng Yun also lived up to expectations, and after the founding of New China, he entered the Harbin Military Engineering College with excellent results at the age of 19, graduated five years later, entered a factory to study and work, and became a professional.
In 1973, with the consent of his family, Peng Yun married his college classmate Yi Xiaoye.
Yi Xiaoye's family lives in Beijing, her parents are workers and peasants, and her grandfather is Yang Kaihui's uncle, with a clean background, she is a very good girl, and she is very compatible with Peng Yun.
Two years after the marriage, Peng Yun was transferred to work at a research institute in Beijing, and the husband and wife were reunited, and the family was happily together.
Peng Yun
Peng Yun has a self-motivated heart, he is not willing to be ordinary, and he carries the ardent expectations of his birth mother. In 1977, after the national resumption of the college entrance examination and postgraduate examinations, Peng Yun registered to participate and was admitted to the graduate school of the Beijing Academy of Sciences with excellent results.
After taking a step forward, Peng Yun wanted to go to a higher level, in order to have better development, he was admitted to the first batch of public students, got the opportunity to study in the United States, and successively obtained master's and doctoral degrees at Michigan Wayne State University and the University of Maryland.
After Peng Yun's academic success in the United States, he began to work as a visiting professor at a university in the United States for one year. In 1987, Peng Yun returned to China and did a year of research work at the Software Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Shortly after Peng Yun worked at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a publishing house in the United States took a fancy to his doctoral dissertation and was very interested in it, invited Peng Yun to come to the United States to negotiate cooperation, and asked him to serve as the first author. Peng Yun, who had a development opportunity, traveled to the United States again, and for many years, he and his wife settled in the United States, and are now tenured professors in the department of computer science at the University of Maryland at Baltimore.
Why did Peng Yun "violate" his mother's will and not return to China to serve?
In the suicide note of Peng Yun's birth mother, Jiang Zhujun, he hoped that his son would be able to build a new China in the future and fight for the cause of communism to the end. After Peng Yun's achievements, living and working in the United States seems to have violated his birth mother's will, what does Peng Yun say about this matter?
There is no doubt that Peng Yun is a smart person, he looks very similar to his mother Jiang Zhujun, inherits the clever mind of his father Peng Yongwu, has achieved excellent results from an early age, and is a good child who likes to read and understands things.
Jiang Zhujun
Because he is the son of Sister Jiang, Peng Yun grew up under the aura. For his stepmother Tan Zhenglun, Peng Yun has deep feelings for her, no different from her biological mother. Peng Yun said: I have always called Tan Zhenglun's mother, she has high requirements for me and my brother Peng Bingzhong in all aspects, under difficult conditions, it is really not easy to pull the two of us to a big size.
In 1976, when Peng Yun settled in Beijing and specially found a house to pick up Tan's mother in Chengdu to enjoy the joy of heaven, she died of sudden hypertension at the age of 59. Tan's mother died, which was a very big blow to Peng Yun, and the mother who raised her, from the bottom of her heart, has a higher status than her birth mother.
Peng Yun during the student period, the care of the "martyrs' orphans" on his head, also received some special care, such as the school will assign some excellent teachers for the martyrs' orphans, pay more attention to them on weekdays, and create a good learning environment for Peng Yun as much as possible.
According to Peng Yun's classmate Lu Xiaorong recalled in an article, Peng Yun's grades have been very good at that time, and he will sign up for any activities in the school, and he has always been a class cadre. Lu Xiaorong said: "Peng Yun has never been silent, never proud, and has always maintained a low profile. ”
After Peng Yun worked and lived in the United States, whenever someone asked him about returning to China, he said: He was always thinking about whether he should go back or not.
Peng Yun and his loved ones
Peng Yun said frankly: I am very contradictory, and I have worked hard, whenever I want to go back, I don't want to go back to what to do, it seems that I can't find a point of strength. At first, I wanted to make a little big thing and come back, but I didn't expect that before I made something, people were already old first.
Regarding the issue of his birth mother Jiang Zhujun's last wish, Peng Yun frankly said: I have only done half of my mother's last wish.
epilogue
Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and Peng Yun, as an orphan of martyrs, is naturally no exception. Peng Yun lost his biological parents from a young age, with his own efforts and the support of the state, he has achieved success in his studies, gained a foothold in the United States, become a lifelong professor, and has his own good life, we should bless him.
Sister Jiang is a last wish, and Peng Yun has indeed not completed it all, which is a pity. Fortunately, Peng Yun's son, Sister Jiang's grandson Peng Zhuangzhuang, inherited this will very well. After graduating from Harvard University in the United States, Peng Zhuangzhuang chose to return to China to work, and assisted the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China in formulating a development strategy for china's service outsourcing, helping multinational enterprises consider outsourcing strategies and city choices in China.
Peng Zhuangzhuang
In 2001, Peng Zhuangzhuang chose to return to China to develop, often visiting his grandparents and learning their spirit. Today, Peng Zhuangzhuang is the chief financial officer of good future and the president of the company, his wonderful life is still writing, hoping to contribute to the construction of the motherland, take his grandparents as an example, and take the construction of new China as the aspiration.
