In October 1959, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the founding of New China, a grand celebration ceremony was held at Tiananmen Square, and Su Zhenhua, the founding general of the Navy at the time, was invited to attend.
In the evening celebration party, a girl dancing on the stage attracted the attention of Su Zhenhua, who had just divorced, perhaps looking too intriguedly, and Xiao Jinguang, the commander of the Navy, and Fang Qiang, the deputy commander of the Navy, who were sitting next to Su Zhenhua, also saw the clues. After the party, Fang Qiang found this girl for Su Zhenhua, but unexpectedly met with strong opposition from the girl's parents.
Middle-aged divorce The chairman is distressed
Like many generals, Su Zhenhua's first marriage was an arranged marriage, his wife was a girl adopted by his mother, Yu Jiaofeng, the two married in 1929, shortly after the two were married, Su Zhenhua rushed to the Red Army team to report, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Red Army at that time was Peng Dehuai, felt that Su Zhenhua should have a new look when he joined the army, so he changed Su Zhenhua's name from Seven Lives to Zhenhua.
In 1939, su Zhenhua met his second wife, Meng Wei, when he was at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Meng Wei is a progressive female student who went to Yan'an and is also a high-achieving student at Nanyang Normal College. In the same year, under the mediation of the organization, Su Zhenhua, who was then the commander of the first brigade of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, married Meng Wei, and Meng Wei, who was also an intellectual, also became Su Zhenhua's teacher to teach him to recognize and learn, and Su Zhenhua studied hard and made great progress.
After the two married, because the life of the War of Resistance was very difficult, the eldest daughter died tragically during the march, during which Meng Wei's head was also seriously injured, because the treatment was not timely, leaving sequelae.
By the time the second daughter was born, the conditions were still very difficult, the child's vital signs were weak, and the warriors felt that the little life would not last long, so they advised Su Zhenhua to give up, but Su Zhenhua loved his daughter and was unwilling to give up.
The two had a total of six children under difficult circumstances. Until 1957, Meng Wei's head injuries became more and more serious, resulting in problems with mental conditions and even hallucinations in severe cases. The two also began to argue about some small things in life, and later Meng Wei actually said that she met a young man on the way from her hometown in Henan to Yan'an, and soon they established a relationship, but because of the war, the two of them were separated, and now the young man is still unmarried waiting for her, she only remembers it now, and feels very sorry for him.
Until the most serious time, Meng Wei proposed a divorce, to find her hallucinatory boyfriend who was lost during the War of Resistance, the attitude was very resolute, although Su Zhenhua was very reluctant, and finally under the persuasion of the doctor, Su Zhenhua tearfully divorced her and insisted on paying her living expenses for the rest of her life. In 1959, the two divorced, when Su Zhenhua was 47 years old.
Su Zhenhua after divorce. Raising his ex-wife's six children alone, he also had to deal with various tasks at work. Seeing him working so hard alone, his friends around him were very distressed.
At the celebration ceremony of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Su Zhenhua held one in his left hand, one in his right hand, followed by two people before and after he saw it, and after someone saw it, he reported the situation to Chairman Mao, and the chairman was also very anxious after listening to it, hoping to help Su Zhenhua promote a new marriage, help him take care of his children, and reduce the pressure on his life.
Love at first sight, but unexpectedly rejected
In October 1959, when watching the Performance of the National Day Gala, Su Zhenhua, who was sitting under the stage at the time, fell in love with Lu Dylan on the stage. Lu Dylan is a dancer in the Haizheng Cultural and Labor Troupe, and there are dance performances at the National Day Gala.
She never imagined that one of her dance performances would fascinate a general so much. Su Zhenhua's fascinated appearance was looked at by Xiao Jinguang, commander of the Navy, and Fang Qiang, deputy commander of the Navy. When Fang Qiang saw Su Zhenhua's appearance, he had a bottom in his heart.
After the party, Fang Qiang went to the cultural and labor troupe to find Lu Dylan and told su Zhenhua about the situation: "Su Zhenhua's political commissar divorced his wife not long ago, there are six children in the family, he is also a naval political commissar, the burden on his body is too heavy and too much pressure, the family troops can't run at both ends, and if this continues, we are also worried that his body will have problems, so the organization hopes that you will form a new family." ”
This remark made Lu Dylan, who was only 25 years old and had never been in love, and did not take care of his children, confused, panicked for a while, and even more angry. As a newborn woman in New China, Lu Dylan believes that love is pure, free and sacred, rather than such an organizational distribution marriage that hopes to start a family. Now she was asked to marry a strange man she had never met before.
Lu Dylan asked Fang Qiang whether it was his personal advice or the organization's marriage arrangement for her, and Fang Qiang had to admit that it was his own personal suggestion, and there was no marriage arrangement for her organizationally. After knowing that it was Fang Qiang's personal advice, Lu Dylan breathed a sigh of relief, and the hanging heart was also put down, as long as it was not arranged by the organization, she could refuse. Then, Lu Dylan expressed his thoughts to Fang Qiang and rejected Fang Qiang's proposal.
Dating Engagement Two loves
On the other hand, although Lu Dylan did not want to meet, she had to go to the meeting because of the chief's face. Speaking of which, this is also the first time in her life that she has dated a strange man. In the afternoon, Lu Dylan met Su Zhenhua, and to her surprise, she thought that the chief was an old man who was nearly half a hundred years old, and his image was definitely not good, and his speech was not interesting. Unexpectedly, Su Zhenhua was radiant, full of spirits, and humorous, which was very inconsistent with his age, and Lu Dylan also wanted to know more and more about the founding general of the republic.
After experiencing this date, Lu Dylan, who has never been in love, also has a good feeling for Su Zhenhua. Since then, the two have often dated, and their feelings have gradually warmed up. Su Zhenhua and Lu Dylan's interaction has become more and more frequent, and both of them have also had the idea of talking about marriage. But when Dylan Lu's parents found out, the situation changed.
The age gap is opposed by parents
Marriage pays attention to the door, and although There is a slight gap between Lu Dylan's family and the founding general, it is not bad. Lu Dylan was born into a family of intellectuals, his father was one of the earliest members of the Chinese League, and he had good friendships with many Kuomintang elders, and his mother, Zhou Mengsu, was also a comrade who participated in the revolution, joined the Communist Youth League a long time ago, and later entered the Guangzhou Peasant Movement Training Institute to listen to lectures.
Influenced by his parents with advanced consciousness and his ears, Dulan Lu received an advanced education from an early age. In 1950, Lu Dylan was already standing tall, with a very good appearance, beautiful and dignified.
Soon after, Lu Dylan was selected into the propaganda team of the Cultural and Labor Corps of the Siye 12 Corps, and then transferred to the Haizheng Cultural and Labor Troupe, who often used to serve as a dance partner for Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and other central leaders in some major evenings, and was deeply loved by the central leaders.
Therefore, Lu Dylan is worthy of Su Zhenhua, but Su Zhenhua is not necessarily worthy of Lu Dylan on one side, that is, age, Su Zhenhua is 22 years older than Lu Dylan! Although true love does not care about age, Lu Dylan's parents, after knowing Su Zhenhua's age, are very opposed: "He is too old, you two are not suitable."
Seeing that his parents were so opposed, He Long had to come forward to persuade Lu Dylan's parents, and later under the persuasion of He Long, Lu Dylan's parents finally agreed to this marriage. In 1960, the 48-year-old Su Zhenhua and the 26-year-old Lu Dylan were married under Chairman Mao's arrangement and held a wedding ceremony. At that time, many people were not optimistic about this marriage, because the age difference between the two was in their twenties.
We will not abandon each other in the same calamity
After Lu Dylan and Su Zhenhua got married, Lu Dylan, who was in his twenties, took care of so many children, especially attentively, he was reluctant to eat good things for the children, and later he gave birth to two children and grew up wearing the clothes of his brothers and sisters.
In this life, General Su Zhenhua felt that he owed a lot to Lu Dylan after marrying her, and when he married her into the door, he tired her all his life and took care of himself and his children. Since she got married, she has been running the household chores and taking care of 6 children.
Lu Dylan gave birth to two sons for Su Zhenhua after marriage, in order to take care of his wife's feelings, Su Zhenhua decided to let the two sons follow Lu Dylan's surname "Lu", the eldest is called Lu Yi, and the second is called Lu Er. The six children of the ex-wife also like Lu Dylan very much, and they all call her mother, Su Zhenhua and Lu Dylan respect each other and live happily.
Hand in hand to end the old age, write a book and say
In 1972, Su Zhenhua returned to Beijing, was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee on the recommendation of Ye Jianying, and resumed his post as political commissar of the Navy. Their lives are back on track, and Su Zhenhua has been working in the front line, and in 1976 Su Zhenhua was transferred to Shanghai.
Until 1978, Su Zhenhua died of impatience, heart attack, and ineffective rescue due to work reasons, and Lu Dylan was devastated after hearing the news. Until 1987, after 10 years of preparation, Lu Dylan collaborated with Ling Hui to write the "Biography of Su Zhenhua" to commemorate her husband's contribution to the revolution.
