"How many things in ancient and modern times are in the midst of laughter."
On November 29, 1974, Marshal Peng Dehuai, one of the ten marshals of China, passed away, and the general who made great contributions to new China left us forever. However, the second half of the hero's life was rather miserable. After the country's operation was on the right track, in order to compensate the people's hero, it was decided to pay Marshal Peng Dehuai a compensation fee of 48,000 yuan. But at this time, a thorny question arose, Peng Dehuai did not have a son and a half daughter before he died, who should this money be given to? Was it given to Marshal Peng Dehuai's other relatives, or his surviving ex-wife, Pu Anxiu? What will the person who gets the money do with this sizable sum of money?
On October 24, 1898, a baby was born in Pengjiaweizi, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, and this newborn was Peng Dehuai. Peng Dehuai's life was very difficult when he was young, and it was not until he later joined the Xiang Army that he improved. Peng Dehuai, who lived at the bottom of society, deeply experienced the people's deep waters, and after several twists and turns, Peng Dehuai officially joined the Communist Party in 1928 and became a glorious Communist Party member.
During the years of Rong Ma's life, Marshal Peng Dehuai had two love affairs. When he was young, he and a peasant girl named Zhou Ruilian betrothed dolls, but because Peng Dehuai later threw himself into the revolutionary cause, the two could hardly see each other. When Peng Dehuai made time to prepare to marry Zhou Ruilian, he got the news that Zhou Ruilian was forced to fall off a cliff and die by a bully landlord. Peng Dehuai was heartbroken by this, but there was nothing he could do, and since then he has focused more on the revolution, vowing to do a great and vigorous cause to save thousands of Chinese people from danger.
However, the marriage problem of party members is also a major issue, which is also a matter of great importance to the organization. Later, after being introduced, Peng Dehuai married a girl named Liu Ximei. After marriage, the two spent a short sweet life, and soon Peng Dehuai threw himself into the revolution again, with little time to accompany his wife. Later, Peng Dehuai heard nothing, in this case, Liu Ximei chose to remarry, and this marriage ended. Peng Dehuai did not blame her, he felt that this was the common sentiment of people, but after this, Peng Dehuai did not mention marriage.
It wasn't until he was forty years old that Peng Dehuai met a female teacher named Pu Anxiu. Pu Anxiu's family lineage is very good, the three girls in their family are very good, the eldest sister is a chemist who returned to China after staying in Germany, the second sister is a famous journalist, and she herself is a high-achieving student who graduated from the History Department of Beijing Normal University. The two met at a volleyball match, when Peng Dehuai was invited to watch, and Urayasu was a heroic player on the field. Peng Dehuai was very satisfied with Urayasu's performance on the field, and he showed a smile of relief that he had not seen for a long time.
This slight change in expression was seen by Li Fuchun, deputy director of the Organization Department on the side, and he immediately felt that this was a perfect opportunity to solve Peng Dehuai's marital problems. So under the mediation of Li Fuchun, the two met after the game, and this meeting can be described as a very successful meeting. Since the ancient hero loves beauty, Peng Zong naturally likes this heroic female teacher, and Pu Anxiu, who is in his youth, is naturally also in love with the battle-hardened general. In the eyes of everyone's expectation, Peng Dehuai and Pu Anxiu flashed marriage. The two had known each other for only thirteen days before they entered the palace of marriage and became a couple that countless people envied.
In the eyes of outsiders, the combination of Peng Dehuai and Pu Anxiu is the result of the envy of countless people. What many people don't know, however, is that the problems between them are difficult to solve.
The three sisters of Urayasu
The first is the huge age gap, they are almost a full twenty years apart, which is almost two generations, so there will be some communication problems, and there is a generation gap that is inevitable. Secondly, the difference in family origin, Pu Anxiu is a typical intellectual, but also a standard lady, her living habits and personal style must be very different from Peng Dehuai, who came from a poor peasant background. Finally, they were married in 1938, a time when the Japanese invaders were arrogant and arrogant, and when the country needed people to bravely go to the front, so the two of them were also destined to gather less and leave more. These are all problems that they need to solve in their relationship, and although they are difficult, this does not affect the feelings of both parties in the slightest.
Soon after, Peng Dehuai received an order from the Party Central Committee and was ordered to rush to the front to command the army to fight against the invading Japanese army, which meant that the newly married couple was about to face separation. Peng Dehuai has been commanding battles for many years, and naturally understands that the front line is dangerous and abnormal, and countless heroic soldiers hate the battlefield, of course, he will not take his twenty-one-year-old wife Pu Anxiu to the front line to participate in the battle. However, the military orders are like mountains, and the country is facing the danger of capsizing, how can Peng Dehuai sit idly by? Before leaving, Peng Dehuai decided to say goodbye to his wife, but when he found Urayasu, he found that Urayasu was also packing his bags.
"What do you do when you pack your bags?"
"Go to the front with you, I have applied to the party organization, and the above has agreed to let me go with you."
"Do you know how dangerous the front line is? That's going to kill people! ”
"Of course I know, but I'm your wife, Peng Dehuai's wife." If you don't go to the battlefield, how can you be worthy of being a general's wife? ”
Peng Dehuai was touched by Pu Anxiu's words, he did not expect that his wife, who was only twenty-one years old, could have such awareness and courage. Since the organization had agreed to urayasu going with him, he himself had nothing to refute. The cruelty of the front line far exceeded Ura Anxiu's imagination, people died every day, the Japanese were more ferocious than the tigers and wolves, but Urayasuo was not frightened by these, she still accompanied Peng Dehuai, still a qualified proletarian fighter.
Once, during the battle of Taihang Mountain, Pu Anxiu lost contact with the large army, which made Peng Dehuai sad, thinking that Pu Anxiu had died or fallen into the hands of the enemy. Later, it was learned that it was Urayasu who had hidden in a hut to avoid the enemy, but because of the tiredness of the night, she actually fell asleep against the wall and missed the roll call for a while, which led to a misunderstanding. However, it is also these small misunderstandings that make the feelings of the two more intimate.
But the crisis between the two also gradually appears, the two will quarrel over some small things in life, often gambling with each other. Later, during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, without Peng Dehuai's permission, Pu Anxiu, with his thoughts and concern for his husband, traveled thousands of miles to a foreign country and war-torn Korea. I thought I would get the warm embrace and care of my husband, but to Pu Anxiu's disappointment, Peng Dehuai's answer turned out to be like this:
"Peng Dehuai's wife is here, what about the wife of a million soldiers on the front line?"
This rhetorical question made Urayasu extremely disappointed, and she sadly returned to China, which was the first and biggest marital crisis between the two of them. But this crisis was soon smoothed out by time and Peng Dehuai's warmth.
In 1962, because of a letter to the Party Central Committee, Peng Dehuai and the organization had a great quarrel, and it also had a lot of influence. After this incident, there was a huge ideological difference between Peng Dehuai and Pu Anxiu, and the two chose to divorce in desperation. Since then, Peng Dehuai has almost disappeared from people's vision and lived a life that no one cares about. Peng Dehuai passed away on November 29, 1974, leaving us forever.
In 1979, after the study of the Party Central Committee, the organization decided to compensate Peng Dehuai for forty-eight thousand yuan, and this money was finally sent to the hands of Pu Anxiu, which was the organization's decision after research.
After Urayasu learned of this, she carefully accepted the money, and she decided to do something for her ex-husband to make up for the regrets of that year. An accident separated the two people who loved each other, which has always been the pain in Urayasu's heart. Urayasu divides the money into six parts.
The first part is to comfort the guards and secretaries around Peng Dehuai, who were born and died with Peng Dehuai, this relationship is incomparably precious, and Peng Dehuai often cared about them when he was alive. Pu Anxiu has been around Peng Dehuai for many years, and she naturally understands this, so she will give them 16,000 yuan, on the one hand, to express Peng Dehuai's concern for them, on the other hand, to improve the lives of these elderly people.
The second part is to build a primary school in Peng Dehuai's hometown, which is the wish of Peng Dehuai's heart, and Pu Anxiu took out 10,000 yuan to complete the ex-husband's wishes. When Peng Dehuai was young, she lost the opportunity to go to school because of poverty, so she knew how important it was for her children to have the opportunity to go to school.
The third part is Peng Dehuai's unpaid 5,000 yuan membership fee.
In the fourth part, Pu Anxiu donated 10,000 yuan to the state in the name of Peng Dehuai for national construction.
The fifth part is the cost of holding Peng Dehuai's memorial service, at that time, Peng Dehuai's family had no money to hold a memorial service, all of which were borrowed from the east and west, and Pu Anxiu took out more than 3,000 yuan to repay the debt.
The sixth part is to publish an autobiography of Peng Dehuai, although Peng Dehuai has passed away, but Pu Anxiu does not want to see Peng Dehuai disappear into people's memory, she decided to write Peng Dehuai's deeds into a book, so that people will always remember the marshal who served the country. The book cost a total of more than four thousand yuan from writing to publication. Since then, the organization has used up all 48,000 yuan to replenish Peng Dehuai, and each sum has been spent in the right place. Although Pu Anxiu and Peng Dehuai did not go to the end, it can be fully seen from this that she still loves Peng Dehuai in her heart.
Today's China is prosperous, and such a new China must be the ideal future of the martyrs!
