I believe that everyone has seen the above photo, the two revolutionaries in the photo, one is called Zhou Wenyong, the other is called Chen Tiejun.
After the defeat of the Great Revolution in 1927, Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun were arrested, and the two held a special wedding on the execution ground, which touched countless Chinese, and the fearless heroism and pure battlefield love made countless people cry.
So, what happened before and after the sacrifices of Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun?
Zhou Wenyong, a native of Kaiping, Guangzhou, began to participate in the student movement at the age of 14, with increasing ideological awareness and greater fame, and later became a famous leader of the underground party in Guangzhou.
In 1927, Zhou Wenyong was appointed secretary of the Guangzhou Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, and in order to make the revolutionary activities more convenient and cover up, he organized and sent Chen Tiejun to assist Zhou Wenyong in his work.
In November of that year, Zhou Wenyong was arrested by reactionaries when he organized a workers' parade in the street.
After Zhou Wenyong was arrested, Chen Tiejun was very anxious, at that time she judged that Zhou Wenyong had not yet been exposed, but the time dragged on for a long time, maybe which traitor might identify him, it would be dangerous, Chen Tiejun began to plan to rescue Zhou Wenyong.
On this day, Chen Tiejun saw Zhou Wenyong under the pretext of visiting the prison, and in the clothes he gave Zhou Wenyong, he wrapped a lot of red peppers and let him swallow them all, so that his face would have a fever, and then let everyone force the prison party to send Zhou Wenyong to the hospital.
Under her careful arrangement, Zhou Wenyong was really sent to the hospital, and then Chen Tiejun brought a group of "Kuomintang" to the hospital to rob people, and staged a classic and exciting rescue drama.
After Zhou Wenyong was rescued, he began to continue his work, and together with Zhang Tailei, Ye Ting and others planned the Guangzhou Uprising, he was appointed as an action committee member of the Guangzhou Uprising General Headquarters, and had full authority to command the Workers' Red Guards.
However, at this time, the strength of the rebel army was still very weak compared with the enemy, and Ye Ting suggested that the rebel army should withdraw and join the other rebel troops. However, Zhou Wenyong did not receive the order to retreat, and had to continue to hold on to Guangzhou.
However, the enemy soon launched a counterattack on the south bank of the Pearl River, the rebel army was outnumbered, and Zhou Wenyong and some of them killed a bloody road and fled to Hong Kong. At this time, Chen Tiejun also went to Hong Kong with great difficulty, and the two obtained a relatively safe environment.
However, they were always thinking about the revolutionary work in Guangzhou, and within 20 days, they ignored the danger and sneaked back to Guangzhou to continue the revolutionary work. As a result, because of the traitor's whistle-blowing, Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun were both arrested.
Here's one more detail. At that time, after the reactionaries broke into Chen Tiejun's residence, Chen Tiejun discovered it first, and he first covered his sister to jump out of the window and escape. The reactionaries took control of Chen Tiejun and waited at home for Zhou Wenyong to return.
Before that, Chen Tiejun and Zhou Wenyong agreed on a secret code, when the flower tray on the windowsill fell, it meant that there was danger in the house, so Chen Tiejun took advantage of the reactionaries' lack of attention and quietly moved the flowerpot on the window sill.
However, Zhou Wenyong did not pay attention to the flowerpot because he was worried about Chen Tiejun, and as a result, as soon as he entered the house, he was caught by the reactionaries who had been ambushed for a long time.
In prison, Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun fought with the enemy indomitably, suffered torture, and still did not bow their heads, Zhou Wenyong also wrote a "poem of absolute writing" on the wall of the prison: "The head can be broken, the limbs can be broken, and the revolutionary spirit is indestructible." The head of the strong man is the party fall, and the body of the good man is a group of cracks! ”
The reactionaries had no choice but to announce the execution of the two men.
At this time, Zhou Wenyong made a request, saying that he wanted to take a photo with his wife Chen Tiejun, and the reactionaries agreed, so there was the photo that has been passed down to this day.
On February 6, 1928, Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun held a special wedding on the execution ground, composing a tragic and romantic revolutionary battle song!
When Zhou Wenyong died, he was only 23 years old, and Chen Tiejun was only 24 years old, which was the best age in his life.
In September 2009, the state selected 100 heroic and exemplary figures who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China, and Zhou Wenyong and Chen Tiejun were honorably selected, and they were also the only couple in the list.
