The great man had personally signed for him, "00001 Martyr Certificate", in 1977, Deng Gong also personally received, the widow of this martyr, who is this martyr No. 00001? Why did his widow come to see Deng Gong? Interested friends don't forget to like and follow.
The first certificate of martyrdom
Deng Gong met with the widow of Martyr No. 00001
The revolutionary martyr's name was Cong Dezi, and in 1942, at the age of 32, Cong Dezi was sacrificed by the reactionaries. Until after liberation, Xie Jueya, who was then the minister of internal affairs, had been worried about the murder of Comrade Cong Dezi, and even visited the orphans and widows he left behind.
Under xie jueya's unremitting efforts, finally in Lanzhou, Gansu, found Cong Dezi's widow, Xie Juezha immediately reported this important news to the great man. And the great man has always remembered this comrade who made great contributions to the neutrality of the Xi'an Incident, so the great man personally signed the "Certificate of Martyrs No. 00001" to commemorate this martyr who fought for the new China for life.
Until 1977, Cong Dezi's widow, Cong Dan, was forced to find Deng Gong for help, what happened, let the children of the martyrs, at the expense of finding Deng Gong to seek help?

In fact, before 1951, Cong Dan was not called Cong Dan, she had another name, Gao Jinming. At that time, Cong Dan did not know that Cong Dezi was his biological father.
It wasn't until the spring of that year, when Gao Jinming came home from school as usual, but saw that the doorway of his home was surrounded by water and crowded through the crowd, and Gao Jinming found that his mother had taken a glass frame from the hands of government workers.
After the crowd dispersed, Gao Jinming noticed that it was actually written as a "revolutionary martyr", and just when Gao Jinming was wondering, his stepfather Gao Keming called 10-year-old Gao Jinming to the room.
And seriously told her the truth of the matter, it turned out that Gao Jinming's original name was Cong Dan, the martyr Cong Dezi on the wall was her biological father, and the little Cong Dan was very sad, but still slowly accepted this reality.
Tomb of the Cong Dezi Martyrs
Since then, Cong Dan has enjoyed the treatment of the children of martyrs and lived a peaceful and happy life. However, when the special period came, Cong Dezi suddenly became a "Su Xiu", and Cong Dan was also implicated, lost his job, and could only take his son to survive.
In those years, Cong Dan always had a doubt in his heart, knowing that his father was a revolutionary martyr, why did he become a "Soviet revision agent"? In order to find out the truth of the matter, and in order to understand the life of his father Cong Dezi, Cong Dan decided to leave for Beijing.
At that time, Wu Xiuquan and his wife received her kindly, and after learning about Cong Dan, Wu Xiuquan and his wife took Cong Dan to meet with Deng Gong. Deng Gong learned that Cong Dezi's widow, Cong Dan, had come and personally went to receive her.
Looking at the woman in front of him who had never met before, Deng Gong excitedly shook Cong Dan's hand, looked up and down, and said, "You really look like your father!" ”
A sentence made Cong Dan tears like rain, all the grievances and incomprehension, were expressed through tears, and later Deng Gong inquired in detail about the Cong Dan family, the living conditions of these years, but also learned about Cong Dezi.
Looking at the yellowed martyr's certificate, Deng Gong also sighed with emotion and told Cong Dan: "If you have any difficulties in the future, come to him at any time." Although Cong Dan has never seen this Uncle Deng since then, this experience has made Cong Dan unforgettable.
From Uncle Dun's mouth, Cong Dan also learned the story of his father Cong Dezi. It turned out that his father, Cong Dezi, had been a secretary of the Kuomintang, and later met Deng Gong by chance, and under the guidance of Deng Gong, he did underground intelligence work for the Communist Party, and finally died tragically at the hands of the reactionaries.
Shortly after that meeting, Deng Gong finally restored Cong Dezi's reputation under careful interrogation, and Cong Dan's life returned to normal.
How did the secretary of a Kuomintang official become a martyr of the Republic and have the great man personally sign for him, the first martyr's certificate in New China? What kind of story does he have between him and Deng Gong?
With the pen as a gun, resist Japan and save the country
The Kuomintang official's secretary, Cong Dezi, was born in 1920 in Fengcheng County, Liaoning Province, to an ordinary peasant family. His parents were ordinary migrant workers, who had been doing hard work all their lives, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky, and their father, who had experienced the baptism of the Xinhai Revolution, knew the importance of reading, so he saved money for Cong De to study in the school.

Later, in 1928, Cong Dezi was admitted to Northeastern University, where he was deeply influenced by new ideas. After the September 18 incident, Cong Dezi saw the Japanese, burning and looting in his hometown without evil, and his heart was full of resentment, in order to save the people from water and fire, Cong Dezi decided to throw himself into the anti-Japanese national salvation movement.
Unfortunately, Cong Dezi was later assigned to Lao Jiang's subordinates by Northeastern University, and originally wanted to exert great ambitions in the army, but he did not think that Lao Jiang actually did something, and the fratricidal thing threatened to "take care of the outside world first inside", and began to fight with the Communist Party.
For this practice of the Kuomintang, Cong Dezi finally picked up the pen and began to criticize the Kuomintang in sharp language in major newspapers, and propagated that "reactionary civil war, the muzzle of the gun is external", which is the way to save the country.
The gun shot the head bird, and Cong Dezi's behavior was hated by the Kuomintang and cong Dezi was imprisoned. Later, under the negotiation of Zhang Xueliang, Cong Dezi regained his freedom.
After the outbreak of the "Xi'an Incident", Cong Dezi took over the then "Xijing Daily", which was later changed to "Liberation Daily", and Cong Dezi served as an editor and published a large number of current political commentaries, which the then Premier Zhou would even personally read.
Unfortunately, after the Kuomintang entered Xi'an, the Liberation Daily was forced to stop changing, and Cong Dezi lost his job. But Cong Dezi did not give up the idea of resisting Japan and saving the country, so how did Cong Dezi know Deng Gong?
Liberation Daily
It turned out that in the subsequent running around, Cong Dezi met his wife Wang Zhuqing in Shanxi. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, through the Eighth Route Army, Cong Dezi got to know Deng Gong, who greatly appreciated Cong Dezi's talent and was also infected by his enthusiasm and courage to resist Japan, so he earnestly hoped that he could join the ranks of the revolution.
In this way, Cong Dezi relied on his own talent to do underground intelligence work for our party. Through his old connections with the Kuomintang, Cong Dezi rescued countless Red Army fighters on many occasions, more actively propaganda for the revolution, and propaganda for the broad masses of anti-Japanese activities.
In this way, in 1938, Cong Dezi was specially approved to become a special member of the Communist Party of China. Later, under Xie Jueya's arrangement, Cong Dezi successfully broke into the kuomintang's interior and became the secretary of the political department of the Kuomintang's eighth theater of operations, Zeng Guangqing, because the two had worked together before, so he was very trusted by Zeng Guangqing.
What happened to Cong Dezi, a special member of the CPC specially approved, who went deep into the KMT and served as the secretary of the KMT officials who had expanded their feelings? Is the process of gathering intelligence for our Party still going well?
Torture in every way, refuse to let go
Cong Dezi had worked with the Kuomintang, and later became angry with the Kuomintang, and after getting acquainted with Deng Gong, he resolutely and resolutely threw himself into the revolutionary work and actively made his own contributions to the anti-Japanese struggle and national salvation.
Because of his friendship with the Kuomintang, Cong Dezi smoothly entered the Kuomintang and became the secretary of the Kuomintang officials who had expanded his affection; not only that, Cong Dezi also became "friends" with a man named Zhang Hanchen in the Kuomintang, and through Zhang Hanchen, Cong Dezi accurately collected a large amount of intelligence information within the Kuomintang, especially in terms of military deployment and facilities.
information
However, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and in 1939, when the CCP's working committee in Gansu was destroyed, Cong Dezi, who insisted on collecting intelligence for our party, accidentally exposed his identity.
Later, the boss expanded his affection and "warmly" invited Cong Dezi to the banquet, and Cong Dezi, who learned the news, understood that this was a feast at the Hongmen Gate, and the Kuomintang at this time may have sensed something.
At that time, Cong Dezi's friends all advised him to leave Lanzhou quickly, but Cong Dezi was determined to go to the banquet, "not to enter the tiger's den to get the tiger", knowing that it was a trap, Cong Dezi still wanted to go, he hoped to pass through, this fierce Hongmen banquet, collected more intelligence for our party.
First from the left: Cong Dezi
At that time, when leaving, Cong Dezi also instructed his wife Wang Zhuqing: "If I don't come back tonight, it is arrested, and then you will contact the organization and leave Lanzhou as soon as possible." The exhortation seemed more like a goodbye.
That night, Cong Dezi was arrested and imprisoned by Zeng Zhaoqing's order, but under all kinds of coercion and inducement and severe torture, Cong Dezi never let go, in addition to physical torture, he was also mentally tormented.
Sleeping can not stretch their legs, standing can not stand straight, eat chaff vegetables, drink vegetables, even so, Cong Dezi has never wavered, the Kuomintang knows that this "hard bone" can not be moved, so in a feeding, poison Cong Dezi was poisoned, and cong Dezi's body was thrown in the broken cave.
The warriors recovered cong dezi's remains
Cong Dezi's friends and comrades risked the danger to transport Cong Dezi's body out of the burial and buried it in Lanzhou, when Cong Dezi was only 32 years old.
Later, after the founding of New China, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the People's Republic of China provided pensions to the families of martyrs, Comrade Xie Jueya first thought of Cong Dezi. In this way, Cong Dezi became the first martyr of New China, and was personally signed by the great man, "00001 Martyr Certificate". Today, there are only 1.93 million martyrs that the state can recognize, and we hope that nameless heroes like Cong Dezi will be known to more people.
