The original text of the letter

Founding Father Taijian:

Since the "918" Northeast Incident and the "128" Shanghai War of Resistance, I have mixed sorrows and indignations, vowing not to seek the liberation of the Chinese nation, and not to be one of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor of the Chinese nation! Determined to resign, so the pawn left home, all the flesh and blood relatives and friends had no time to care about the farewell, and now the thinking is particularly frightening!

It has been six years since the Republic of China left Zhangzhang in March of the twenty-first year. In these six years, running from east to west, chasing from north to south, going through all kinds of hardships, snowy mountains and meadows, and long marches, all the time! Nothing more than to save the country from peril! Ambitions are trending, waves and waves are difficult to stop! However, I have never prepared a letter to wait, and there is no news, so naturally I can't help but blame my relatives and friends, or think that I, a prodigal son of the Xiao gao family, abandoned my family and left the house, and was not filial piety and injustice!? I still remember that when I was leaving, I left a letter to you to transfer timmu to my father Yun: "I am going to leave you, or I will leave forever, I do not care about the family, I hope that the family does not have to worry about me!" "This is the determination of Congrong, and this is the resolute determination to save the country and sacrifice for the country!" Only by saving the country can we take care of the family, and the country is dead and the family is safe! Instead of cutting off the humanity of unconditional abandonment! Would you like to forgive me!? So far, my hard struggle can be done as the end of the preliminary stage, but the main war of resistance to save the country is beginning, so I have taken a little effort to write a letter to greet you.

I am now stationed in the old Chamber of Commerce in Yan'an Province, Shaanxi Province, and I have not built a family outside, and I am still happy in my personal celibacy! As for the details, I will talk about it next time when you write to me.

What I desperately need to know is whether my father Tim and my mother are still healthy? Do several brothers Jieyuan, Jiesan, Jiekai, Jieshao, Jieyuan, etc. live and work in peace and contentment, and how does the family change? Is the development of Baichuan Yinzhuang expanding? Is Donghuayuan thriving? What about Gao Qingfa and Gao Heji Erbao? Jiandong, Jianchi, Jianhua brothers have recently grown up and want to make progress! Is your aunt healthy? Have Li Shihu and Cai Shiyao II been healthy lately? Will my inner chamber be abandoned and remarried? Is my child lively?

The debt I owe to Baichuan Yinzhuang of more than 20,000 yuan is always remembered, and the benli should still be more than 30,000. The country is saved, the nation is saved, the debt repayment is not short, and the debt is not short, I hope not to worry about it, I hate it, I hereby serve it! Kindly! Attach two portraits (photos), please transfer one to my home, give a tribute to your adult thoughts.

Family books to read

"Swear not to seek the liberation of the Chinese nation, and not to be one of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor of the Chinese nation!" "Only by saving the country can we take care of the family, and when the country dies, the family is safe!" This passage comes from the first family letter written by the red financier Gao Jiecheng to his family after he went north, and he can see his strong patriotic feelings and firm revolutionary convictions between the lines.

Red Epistle | Gao Jiecheng: "Only by saving the country can we take care of the family, and when the country dies, the family is safe"

Manuscript of Gao Jiecheng's family letter

Born in Zhangzhou, Gao Jiecheng threw himself into the revolution in his youth. In April 1932, Mao Zedong led the East Road Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to conquer Zhangzhou, and Gao Jiecheng traveled everywhere to raise money for the Red Army. When the Red Army left Zhangzhang, he resolutely left his parents, wives and children and followed the Red Army to the Central Soviet Region. It was not until April 10, 1937, that he wrote his first family letter to his family at the yan'an Chamber of Commerce, expressing his determination to resist the war.

At this time, only three months after Japan launched the "July 7 Incident", the domestic call for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to cooperate in jointly resisting the Japanese army also reached a climax, so he said in the letter: "So far, my arduous struggle can be done (as) the end of the preliminary stage, but the main war of resistance to save the country is beginning." ”

Gao Jiecheng joined the Chinese Communist Party in Ruijin

Shortly after Gao Jiecheng wrote this letter, the all-out War of Resistance broke out, and he accompanied the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army to Hebei to open up anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines and engage in financial and economic work.

At the age of 23, he left home to pursue his dreams and joined the revolution.

At the age of 34, he was martyred and buried in a foreign country.

In his 11-year revolutionary career, he traveled from east to west, chased north and south, walked through the Long March, crossed the snowy mountains and meadows, and opened up the financial front of our party under the fire of the enemy's war.

Gao Jebsen on the march

Today, we all know that Gao Jebsen died heroically in 1943, but the Gao family did not know anything about this at that time. There is a scene in the movie "Red Financier - Gao Jiecheng" that is impressive: Gao Jiecheng's wife Gao Caibao (formerly known as Cai Bao, renamed Gao Caibao after learning of Gao Jiecheng's sacrifice) holds a photo of Gao Jiecheng and whispers "read":

There is no more war,

Why haven't you come back?

This question made many people choke and burst into tears.

A clip from the movie "Red Financier Gao Jiecheng"

Gao Jiecheng's determination to resist the war and save the country is strong, so he can ignore his family, but even if the distance is far away and the war is fierce, the warmth of his heart for his family is still the most difficult for him to give up.

"Are my father Tim and my mother still healthy?" "Is my inner chamber abandoned and remarried?" Is my child lively? "More than 80 years ago, Gao Jebsen's family letter crossed the beacon fire from Yan'an, crossed the mountains and rivers, traveled more than 2,000 kilometers, and finally reached the hands of the Gao family. From the fourth paragraph of the family letter, we can see that his thoughts about his family are strong and full of warmth. At the end of the letter, the sentence "Gao Jiecheng, the nephew of the Unscrupulous Patriarch", expresses his regret for his family after not quitting his career in the revolution.

Gao Jiecheng bid farewell to his wife and children and threw himself into the revolution

Before Gao Jiecheng left home, he named his son " Desheng " , who was just three months old. In the six years since he left home, although he has not made any contact with his family, his family has always believed that Gao Jebsen will return victoriously. However, after the war was over, the Gao family never waited for Gao Jebsen. It was not until after the founding of New China that Xie Jueya, then minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Central People's Government, came to visit gao Caibao, who was waiting at home for news, that he learned that her husband had died in May 1943, and that he had made great contributions to the financial undertakings of the border areas.

Gao Jiecheng's life was short and glorious, but he used his short life to write the great love of a revolutionary, so that future generations, no matter how far they go, can not forget their original intentions. Today, this "red family letter" with yellowed paper is still cherished by the Gao family, and as the most precious "heirloom" of the Gao family, it inspires future generations to dedicate themselves silently and move forward courageously.

The red family letter contains loyal souls, and the paper is short and long. In the era of peace, we have not experienced the smoke of gunfire in the sky, nor can we deeply appreciate the passionate and tragic mood of the revolutionaries when writing the family letter, but through reading the family letter, we can relive the picture of the martyrs who are imprisoned but determined to serve the country, feel the lofty and firm ideals and beliefs of the ancestors and the heroic and fearless spirit of sacrifice, so that we have once again been baptized by the red spirit.

As a new generation of communists, we must carry forward the red tradition, inherit the red revolutionary gene, continue to struggle with the spirit of pragmatic responsibility, and take the new long march of our generation.
