The name Fu Zuoyi must be familiar to everyone, as a modern Chinese military expert, a general of the National Revolutionary Army, and a famous anti-Japanese general, the story of his heroic killing of the enemy on the battlefield is still circulating in everyone's ears until now. Even during the later Liberation War, it was through his efforts that Peiping was peacefully liberated.
However, behind what we do not understand, there is another person who fought in the second line but also made great contributions to the liberation of Peiping, and this person is Fu Dongju, the eldest daughter of Fu Zuoyi.
Today we will take a look at how Fu Zuoyi and his eldest daughter liberated Peiping, and how Fu Dongju lived after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Fu Dongju
01, the father with high military talent
Fu Dongju's father, Fu Zuoyi, was born in 1895 in Ronghe County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi. In 1905, he entered the prefectural primary school, and his grades were very good, ranking among the best in all subjects, and the teachers thought that he would become a literati engaged in culture in the future. However, at that time, the social turmoil, the situation was chaotic, and looking at the people's unspeakable life, Fu Zuoyi deeply realized that the current situation was in the national crisis, so he abandoned his pen and applied for the military academy. In 1910, Fu Zuoyi was admitted to the Taiyuan Army Primary School, and since then his life has been destined to go to the battlefield.
His studies at the military academy made him deeply influenced by the bourgeois democratic revolutionary ideas led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The following year, the Xinhai Revolution broke out, and Fu Zuoyi also followed the road of revolution. In 1915, Fu Zuoyi graduated from the school with honors and was directly promoted to the Fifth Infantry Section of the Baoding Officer School. During his time at school, his military talent was inspired, and after graduation, he returned directly to his hometown and resolutely chose to enroll in the army.
In various simulated battles and exercises in the army, Fu Zuoyi was not only able to successfully complete his own tasks but also help other teammates, and the instructors discovered Fu Zuoyi's excellent military talents and excellent leadership skills, and considered him a rare military talent. So in 1924 Fu Zuoyi was promoted to regimental commander. Also in this year, Fu Zuoyi's eldest daughter Fu Dongju was born.
Fu Zuoyi
02, born in the war years
Fu Dongju was Fu Zuoyi's first daughter, and Fu Zuoyi was very fond of her. In that era of son preference, many girls learned to do housework at home and did not allow school to study, but Fu Dongju was arranged by her family to the best school. She received a good education from an early age, and her new ideological awareness is also very high.
Due to Fu Zuoyi's special status, he often needed to go out or go to the battlefield. Even if she doesn't give up, she can only let her daughter live a stable life at home with her wife. And go out of the house yourself, go to the battlefield, and fight for the country.
Later, Fu Zuoyi's Jin army was placed under Chiang Kai-shek's command, and Fu Zuoyi naturally became a member of the Kuomintang army. With the advent of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Two Parties decided to cooperate and jointly resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Fu Zuoyi undoubtedly rushed to the front line of the war, he led the army to kill countless enemies, and his blood spilled on the battlefield. Encouraged by Fu Zuoyi, the generals also went straight to the front line of the war and fought bravely against the enemy, and Fu Zuoyi led these soldiers to make great contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance.
At this time, Fu Zuoyi's patriotic heart was infinitely stimulated, and he only wanted to defend our motherland, protect the people's homeland, and give thousands of people a stable life. However, Chiang Kai-shek has always dealt with this war with a negative attitude for his own benefit, and Fu Zuoyi and other patriots are very disappointed in his actions.
03, the enlightenment of thought
After the war intensified, Fu Zuoyi moved to Chongqing with his family in order to protect the safety of his family. At this time, Fu Dongju was no longer the age that did not know anything, and after coming to Chongqing, she could deeply feel that our country was in deep trouble. At the same time, she is also experiencing the great impact of foreign invasion on people's lives, and she has witnessed first-hand how the war has persecuted the people. She was also very angry at Chiang Kai-shek's ruthless and unjust behavior, and the patriotic feelings in her heart rose at this time.
As the daughter of the Kuomintang general Fu Zuoyi, she was not complacent because of her father's identity. On the contrary, she did not want to let her father's light shine on her, and she had her own opinions and ideas. She is motivated, self-motivated and has excellent academic performance.
In 1941, she was admitted to Nankai Middle School, during which she met some young Communist Party members, she was touched by their spirit of sincerely fighting for the rise of the country, and her thinking was inspired, so she decided to join the Clarion Society, a progressive youth organization led by the Communist Party.
The following year, Fu Dongju was admitted to Kunming Southwest United University and studied English. During her time at the school, she actively participated in the student movement and was later recruited as a member of the "stronghold" by the Communist Party's underground organization. After entering the underground party, Fu Dongju began to do the work of the party wholeheartedly, and although the nature of the job was very dangerous, she still risked her life to obtain enemy intelligence.
Because of her special status, her father also had some influence within the Kuomintang, so she was able to obtain a lot of internal Intelligence of the Kuomintang that others could not get. But she has no selfish intentions and separates her family from her faith very clearly. She provided all the information she learned to the underground party organization of the COMMUNIST Party in a timely manner, made great contributions to the work of the Communist Party of China, repeatedly reversed the dangerous situation within the party, and saved the lives of many communists.
04. Joined the party organization and began editing work
During the period of working for the Communist Party, Fu Dongju gradually felt the harmony and beauty of the atmosphere within the Party, the friendly unity between comrades, even in the case of very scarce materials, the situation was very dangerous, and it was repeatedly interfered with and destroyed by the Kuomintang, the Communist Party still stubbornly confronted the enemy, and truly put itself in the shoes of the people and the country, and this spirit of the Communist Party has always touched Fu Dongju.
She has not told her father about her faith and current job, and in order to protect his father's safety, she has also been hiding her identity in the party, silently completing the work of the organization for herself.
Later, Fu Dongju graduated from school and came to Tianjin Dagong Newspaper as a supplement editor, using "Fu Dong" as a pen name to submit articles in the newspaper. Her articles were mainly about promoting new ideas to the masses, thus arousing the spirit of the youth to fight for the cause of communism.
Later, although the War of Resistance Against Japan ended, the society did not have peace. The Kuomintang, led by Chiang Kai-shek, tried to provoke a civil war in order for its own plot to be achieved. At this time, Fu Dongju was not idle, and she just used her position to work, and immediately wrote an article denouncing Chiang Kai-shek's behavior. Unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek still ignored the opposition and insults of the people of the whole country and resolutely launched a civil war.
Fu Dongju never gave up his criticism of Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, she even disregarded her own safety and situation, and used explicit language in the magazine to fiercely denounc Chiang Kai-shek. The Communists were touched by her perseverance and spoke highly of her.
Finally, in 1947, Fu Dongju joined the Communist Party of China. Later, the father learned of his daughter's current political tendencies and did not interfere with them. Although the two have different positions, but the two respect each other's beliefs, and can also express their own opinions in a friendly way, although it is impossible to avoid some differences in views, ideas, and opinions, Fu Zuoyi has never forced his daughter to change her mind.
05. Persuade father to liberate Beiping
The war is still on schedule. In the Liaoshen Campaign, Fu Zuoyi, as a general in North China, led the Kuomintang army to the front line of the war, which brought many difficulties to our army. At that time, Peiping was in the political, military, and cultural center, and Fu Zuoyi had a long way to go, and he was ordered by his superiors to guard this extremely important land.
Everyone does not want war to happen, because it must be the people who suffer the most if they provoke it. Therefore, in order to protect the interests of the people, the Communist Party of the mainland wanted to recover Peiping through peaceful negotiations. The organization knew that Fu Dongju was Fu Zuoyi's eldest daughter and was also very fond of her, so it approached Fu Dongju and hoped that he could convince his father. In the face of national security, Fu Dongju could not care about the father-daughter relationship, and after receiving the task, he directly ran to Beiping to find his father.
After coming to Beiping, Fu Dongju very frankly expressed his intentions to his father. In fact, Fu Zuoyi's heart was also very contradictory. As an excellent general with a long-term vision, how could he not understand the truth of this. He also wanted the people to live a peaceful life, and he did not want war to happen. But on the one hand, his mission, on the other hand, his own faith, he was very difficult to be caught in the middle, but he also knew deeply that the two must give up one.
Fu Dongju watched her father waver, so she came to her father and had in-depth exchanges with her father many times, and also showed her father some articles and publications she had written, and analyzed the interests of the country and the people with her father from the perspective of the overall situation. Knowing that her father was also a patriot, a man of love and righteousness, and a hero of the War of Resistance who truly thought about the people, she informed her father of the new ideas she had accepted, and popularized the ideas and goals of communism to his father.
In fact, when I used to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to resist the War, due to the needs of work, I often had close exchanges with the Communist Party and cooperated with each other. In the process of getting along, Fu Zuoyi also very much agreed with some of the Communist Party's anti-war ideas and the character and talents of some party members, and also exchanged and met with the leaders many times.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Fu Dongju conveyed the news to the Central Committee of China, and the Central Committee also sent people to exchange and talk with Fu Zuoyi many times to dispel Fu Zuoyi's doubts. Not only that, Fu Dongju also provided an important basis for the PLA commander-in-chief to make a correct judgment and make a correct policy decision in the middle of the operation. Throughout the Pingjin Campaign, Fu Dongju always worked by Fu Zuoyi's side and communicated with his father.
Finally, under fu Dongju's unremitting efforts, he impressed his father. In 1949, Fu Zuoyi announced to the whole army the "Agreement on the Peaceful Liberation of Peiping".
The next day, he led more than 200,000 Kuomintang troops in Beiping to move out of the city, so that the city was protected from disasters, and Beiping was completely preserved, which advanced the capital of the later new China, Beiping, by twenty years, and spared 2 million innocent people from the suffering of war. Subsequently Chinese people's liberation army held a formal ceremony to enter the city, and Peiping declared its peaceful liberation.
After this incident, Fu Dongju did not ask for credit for this, nor did he follow the trend to enter politics. Went back to the newspaper and silently became an editor. In 1949, the Founding of New China was founded. Fu Dongju was also transferred to the People's Daily and continued his work as an editor and reporter. General Fu Zuoyi was also promoted and reused by the state, and he served as the minister of the state water conservancy department, making outstanding historical contributions to the water conservancy cause on the mainland.
In 1982, Fu Dongju was transferred to the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, where he served as deputy director of the editorial department. All along, Fu Dongju has silently used his identity as editor to contribute to the cultural construction of new China behind the scenes. In 1995, Fu Dongju retired from her post in the People's Daily and finally lived a stable old age. In 2007, Fu Dongju died in Beijing at the age of 83 due to ineffective medical treatment.
Looking to the past, our present peace has not come so easily. In addition to many heroes who rushed to the front-line battlefield, female haojie like Fu Dongju, who silently insisted on the second line, also made great contributions. Some people may feel that Fu Dongju's deeds are insignificant, but without Fu Dongju, there may be no smooth liberation of Peiping.
As the daughter of a Kuomintang general, Fu Dongju did not follow the tide, but bravely joined the Communist Party in the face of difficulties and ignored the discussion of the people around her. She witnessed the founding of New China with her own eyes and contributed to the country's ideas and suggestions. Although she has left us now, her patriotism will remain forever. In addition to showing our admiration for her, we should learn from her.
