In 1961, the famous general Chen Geng was recuperating in Shanghai. It was also his last birthday. On this special day, Chen Geng made a seemingly ordinary but hidden request to his wife Fu Ya: "I want to eat a bowl of shredded pork noodles and put some fatty meat." Is there a deeper meaning behind this simple wish? What is Chen Geng's physical condition, how will Fu Ya respond to this request? Everything seems to be shrouded in a veil of mystery, which makes people wonder about the next story...
Antecedents are brewing
In 1961, Chen Geng's health deteriorated. This once heroic founding general is now no longer in his prime. Since suffering from a serious lung disease in 1959, Chen Geng's health has been worrying. Despite the best efforts of the doctors in the hospital, Chen Geng's condition showed signs of capriciousness, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and unpredictable.
In this context, shortly after the Spring Festival in 1961, Chen Geng suddenly made a seemingly ordinary request to his wife Fu Ya - he wanted to go to Shanghai to recuperate. This was a surprising decision, as Shanghai was not an ideal place for recuperation at the time. However, for Chen Geng, there is another meaning behind this.
It turned out that Chen Geng had an old comrade-in-arms in Shanghai, and the two had been fighting side by side since the Liberation War, and they could be described as good brothers who shared life and death. This old comrade-in-arms made a special call not long ago and personally invited Chen Geng to live in Shanghai, so that the old friends could relive the old friendship. As a veteran revolutionary, Chen Geng knows the weight of friendship. So, after weighing the pros and cons, he resolutely chose Shanghai.
However, Chen Geng's decision made it difficult for his wife Fu Ya. As a native Shanghai woman, Fu Ya is well aware of the medical conditions and climate in her hometown, and she believes that Shanghai is not suitable for Chen Geng's recuperation. However, in the face of her husband's determination, she finally chose respect and support.
In this way, under the thoughtful arrangement of the Organization Department, Fu Ya was also temporarily transferred to work in the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee in order to better take care of Chen Geng. In this way, the family came to Shanghai and started a different life.
Chen Geng's little willfulness
Although Chen Geng is a founding father of the first generation, at home, he will also show a little willfulness like ordinary people. That birthday in 1961 gave us a glimpse of Chen Geng's innate naughty nature.
At that time, not long after Chen Geng's family arrived in Shanghai, his wife Fu Ya was engaged in intense work. As an excellent organizer, Fu Ya is busy with various affairs every day and has little leisure time. Chen Geng, on the other hand, was idle all day long and could only recuperate at home.
On such a day, Chen Geng's birthday came quietly. As a revolutionary, Chen Geng has never had a birthday, but this year, he suddenly had a small wish - he wanted to eat a bowl of shredded pork noodles and put some fatty meat.
At first, Fu Ya thought that Chen Geng was just saying it casually. After all, the doctor has clearly instructed that Chen Geng's condition is not optimistic, and his diet must be strictly controlled, and fatty meat is naturally listed as a taboo. However, when Fu Ya was about to stand still, Chen Geng suddenly insisted on eating shredded meat noodles, and he had to put fat meat.
In the face of her husband's stubbornness, Fu Ya was a little helpless for a while. As a wife, of course, she hoped to be able to fulfill Chen Geng's wishes, but as a qualified revolutionary, how could she allow Chen Geng to act so recklessly? The two fell into a small dispute.
In the end, under Chen Geng's repeated insistence, Fu Ya still compromised. She decided to put aside her work for a while and cook for herself, preparing a bowl of delicious shredded pork noodles for her husband. However, in order to take care of Chen Geng's body, she chose to replace fat with lean meat.
When the shredded meat noodles were served on the table, Chen Geng took a careful sip, and then revealed his childish side. He directly picked up the bowl and shouted to Fu Ya: "This is not what I want! I want shredded meat noodles with fatty meat!"
Faced with her husband's willfulness, Fu Ya could only helplessly explain that the doctor did not allow him to eat fatty meat, so she could only settle for a while. However, Chen Geng didn't buy it at all, he directly pushed the bowl and put on an extremely angry look.
That's when a small episode happened. Chen Geng and Fu Ya's children couldn't help but laugh when they saw their father being so willful. Some children even said directly to Chen Geng: "Dad, you are a big child!"
Being said by the children like this, Chen Geng suddenly became a little embarrassed. He hurriedly straightened his attitude and said to Fu Ya: "Okay, just listen to you." After saying that, he obediently ate the bowl of shredded pork noodles.
From this little thing, it is not difficult for us to see that even the founding fathers will show a small wayward side at home. As a wife, Fu Ya is not only considerate, but also able to properly indulge her husband's little willfulness, and the relationship between the two is naturally more harmonious.
Chen Geng's childishness
Although Chen Geng was a founding father, he also showed a boyish side at times, as can be seen from a small episode during his recuperation in Shanghai.
It was the day after Chen Geng's birthday, and Fu Ya went to work as usual. Chen Geng, on the other hand, had nothing to do all day long, sitting at home. In such a free time, Chen Geng suddenly remembered one thing - since he came to Shanghai, no old comrade-in-arms had come to visit him.
As the founding father of the People's Republic of China, Chen Geng naturally has many old friends in Shanghai. They are either comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, or classmates and friends, and they are like brothers. But now, these old friends seem to have "forgotten" Chen Geng's existence.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Geng suddenly became a little depressed. As a revolutionary, he certainly understood the weight of friendship, and the coldness of his old friends really made him a little sad.
Just when Chen Geng was puzzled, Fu Ya came back from work. As soon as he saw his wife, Chen Geng immediately expressed the doubts in his heart, and it was difficult to hide the sense of loss in his tone: "I have been in Shanghai for so long to recuperate, why has no one come to visit me?
Hearing her husband's complaints, Fu Ya suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. She hurriedly explained: "Many people have been here, but they were blocked by the doctor, for fear of affecting your rest." ＂
It turned out that the reason why the doctor did not let the old comrades-in-arms visit Chen Geng was completely out of consideration for Chen Geng's body. However, Chen Geng obviously didn't think so, and after hearing his wife's explanation, he became even more angry.
"No, you're going to apologize to them tomorrow!" Chen Geng yelled at Fu Ya, "They must have thought I was too big, so they didn't come to see me!"
In the face of her husband's childishness, Fu Ya was also a little helpless for a while. However, she still decided to do what Chen Geng asked. Early the next morning, she began to visit Chen Geng's old comrades-in-arms door-to-door and sincerely apologize for her husband's "unreasonable" behavior.
Some old comrades-in-arms couldn't help but smile after hearing Fu Ya's explanation. Some said directly to Fu Ya: "Chen Geng is a big child, don't indulge him too much." ＂
However, despite this, these old comrades-in-arms still expressed their understanding. Some even directly asked Fu Ya to tell Chen Geng that they would definitely go to visit their old friends as soon as possible.
In this way, under Fu Ya's maneuvering, Chen Geng's "childishness" was finally satisfactorily resolved. And when the old comrades-in-arms came to visit one after another, Chen Geng was finally relieved. He happily rekindled his old friendships with his old friends and put his illness behind him for a while.
From this little thing, it is not difficult for us to see that even the founding fathers will inevitably act willfully like a child at times. As a wife, Fu Ya can not only understand her husband's small willfulness, but also use wisdom and patience to solve problems satisfactorily, and the relationship between the two will naturally be more harmonious.
Chen Geng's thoughtfulness
Although Chen Geng sometimes shows some childish behavior, as a founding father of a generation, he also shows his thoughtfulness towards his wife Fu Ya.
During that time, Fu Ya not only had to take care of Chen Geng's daily life, but also took care of the work of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. The heavy work and worrying about her husband's illness made Fu Ya look a little tired.
One day, Chen Geng suddenly said to Fu Ya: "You have been working too hard lately, and you are also very busy at work, why don't you ask someone to help for the time being?"
Hearing her husband's suggestion, Fu Ya shook her head again and again. As an excellent revolutionary cadre, she naturally did not want to add any burden to the organization. So, she explained to Chen Geng: "It's okay, I can handle it alone." ＂
Unexpectedly, Chen Geng didn't buy it. He directly picked up the phone and made a call to the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. On the other end of the phone was a leading comrade of the municipal party committee.
"Old comrade, my wife Fu Ya has been working too hard lately, can you send her an assistant to share the work?" Chen Geng said bluntly.
The leading comrades naturally didn't say a word, and even arranged for an assistant to come to support Fu Ya's work. In this way, Fu Ya's work pressure was finally relieved.
With the help of her assistant, Fu Ya can finally spare more time to spend with her husband. Every day after work, she will personally prepare nutritious meals for Chen Geng and serve them carefully.
Sometimes, Chen Geng will also take the initiative to remind Fu Ya to pay attention to rest. "You've been working too hard lately, remember to rest more. That's what he always said.
Under Chen Geng's thoughtfulness, Fu Ya's physical condition gradually improved. And whenever he sees his wife's radiant appearance, Chen Geng will feel extremely relieved in his heart.
However, despite this, Chen Geng will still show some small willfulness at some times. For example, once, he suddenly said to Fu Ya: "It's been a long time since we've had a reunion dinner together. Look, can you take a leave of absence so that we can get together as a family?"
Hearing her husband's request, Fu Ya couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, she is so busy with her work that taking time off will inevitably cause some trouble for the organization.
However, looking at Chen Geng's expectant eyes, Fu Ya finally nodded and agreed. So, after some twists and turns, the family finally got together and enjoyed a happy reunion dinner.
In this way, during his days in Shanghai, Chen Geng was sometimes considerate, and sometimes a little capricious. As a wife, Fu Ya can not only tolerate her husband's small shortcomings, but also solve problems satisfactorily with wisdom and patience, and the relationship between the two will naturally be more harmonious.
The end is coming
During their days in Shanghai, although Chen Geng and Fu Ya also had some small conflicts and disputes, in general, their relationship was still very harmonious. However, the good times did not last long, and soon, a harrowing ending came.
On March 16, 1961, Chen Geng's condition suddenly worsened and showed signs of life-threatening. Although the doctors in the hospital have done their best, Chen Geng's physical condition has not improved.
At this difficult moment, Fu Ya has been waiting in front of her husband's sickbed and taking care of him with all her might. She not only personally prepared nutritious meals for Chen Geng, but also kept an eye on her husband's every move, for fear of any mistakes.
However, despite this, Chen Geng's condition has not improved. Finally, in the middle of the night on March 16, Chen Geng passed away and left the world.
When he learned of this terrible news, Fu Ya was heartbroken, and it was almost difficult to bear this heavy blow. However, as a good revolutionary, she soon regained her momentum and began to arrange her husband's funeral.
After dealing with everything, Fu Ya did not immerse himself in sadness. Instead, she turned her grief into strength and devoted all her energy to raising her children.
Thanks to Fu Ya's careful training, Chen Geng and her children have all achieved extraordinary talents and made great achievements in their respective fields. Watching his children grow up into the pillars of the country one by one, Fu Ya naturally felt extremely gratified.
In this way, after completing the important task of raising children, Fu Ya also ushered in his old age. Retired at home, she often misses the bits and pieces of getting along with Chen Geng.
Sometimes, she even said something like this to the people around her: "For more than 40 years after Chen Geng left, I thought about him every day. When I think of the bits and pieces of his life, my heart will be filled with warmth and strength. ＂
Yes, although Chen Geng's death brought a huge blow to Fu Ya, she did not give up her life. On the contrary, she chose to use Chen Geng's spirit before his death to spur herself on, and use Chen Geng's last wish to guide the direction of her life.
end
In this way, for the rest of her life, Fu Ya has been remembering her beloved husband in her own way. And Chen Geng's spirit will continue forever through Fu Ya and their descendants.
