Editor's Note
A few days ago, the Party Central Committee approved the first batch of great spirits sorted out by the Central Propaganda Department that were included in the spiritual genealogy of The Chinese Communists, and the Hongyan Spirit was among them.
At the Hongyan Revolutionary History Museum, a number of revolutionary cultural relics are treasured. These cultural relics bear witness to that glorious period, carry the glorious history of the party, and record the great course of the Chinese revolution.
Through cultural relics, look back at history, let the power of the Red Rock Spirit be passed on from generation to generation.
The spirit of Red Rock will always shine!
The Hongyan Revolutionary History Museum in Chongqing treasures seven letters from Sister Jiang's family, all written before Sister Jiang's arrest in 1948 and sent from Wanxian County, and the recipients are Tan Zhu'an. In the 1980s, Tan Zhu'an donated seven letters of jiang's family letters to the Gele Mountain Martyrs' Cemetery in Chongqing.
Sister Jiang, formerly known as Jiang Zhujun, on the roster of heroic martyrs of the Republic, her name is like a brilliant star, shining in the sky of generations of Chinese faith.
Let us open the national first-class cultural relics treasured by the Hongyan Revolutionary History Museum in Chongqing, the Family Letter of Sister Jiang, and get to know a sister Jiang who is full of flesh and blood, amiable and respectable.
"Brother Zhu, don't feel too sorry for me. I know what I should do to live. Of course, people are always human, and they cannot but grieve over this tragic death. I don't know who said: 'The living can die in the hearts of the living, and the dead can live in the hearts of the living'... So he is alive and forever in my heart..."
This is one of the family letters sent by Jiang Jie from Wanxian County, which is today Wanzhou, Chongqing, before her arrest in 1948. The recipient is Tan Zhu'an, a good friend who has been taking care of her young son Peng Yun.
At the end of 1947, As a liaison officer, Jiang Jie accompanied her husband, Peng Yongwu, a member of the Provisional Working Committee of the Communist Party of China and deputy secretary of the Xiachuandong Prefectural Committee, to carry out armed struggle in Xiachuandong. In January of the following year, Peng Yongwu was killed in the battlefield of the Fengdawu Rebellion, his head was cut off by the enemy and hung on the gate of the Lower Yuancheng Gate in Fengjie Zhuyuan Town.
When the bad news came, Sister Jiang endured her inner grief and resolutely took over her husband's work and rushed to Xiachuandong. She said, "The relationship of this line is only familiar to me, and I want to continue fighting where old Peng fell."
The seven family letters sent by Sister Jiang from Wanxian County, these yellowed pages, seem to still carry Sister Jiang's body temperature. Through the slightly hurried handwriting in this line of Juan, we can touch the heartbeat of a strong woman who wants to leave her young son after losing her husband.
"Thank you and other friends. Yun Er is alive and well, and I know he will do that. Under your care, he will grow up healthy and happy... Eat enough and dress warmly, but don't pamper..."
Seven letters from Sister Jiang's family.
The letter was written in April 1948 by Tan Zhu'an. Two months later, Sister Jiang was arrested in Wanxian County for betrayal and transferred to the Zha di Dong Detention Center.
In the iron prison, Sister Jiang was tortured to the fullest, always upright and awe-inspiring, loyal and unyielding.
On November 14, 1949, Geleshan Radio Station Lanya, only 29 years old, Jiang Jie, with endless longing for new China, fell at the dawn of the birth of the People's Republic of China.
In fact, there are many, many Hongyan women like Sister Jiang in prison, what kind of strength makes these weak women give up their families and devote themselves to the revolution? What kind of will makes this weak body unyielding in the face of torture and death threats? I think this is their firmness in the spirit of Hongyan and their adherence to ideals and beliefs.
