Huang Jie is the fourth wife of Marshal Xu Xiangqian, she is also an outstanding soldier of our party, and she is also a rare female cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy. But her marriage is also full of ups and downs, she had two marriages before meeting Xu Xiangqian, but in the end they all ended without a problem.
So what is the story of this legendary heroine? What kind of ups and downs has her marriage experienced?
He is not only a student of Whampoa, but also a member of the Communist Party
Huang Jie was born in 1909, because of the early death of his father Huang Jie and his mother depended on him since he was a child, but the status of women in the old era was very low, even if Huang Jie's grades were very good, it was difficult to escape the cage of feudal marriage, in order to resist the family's arrangement, Huang Jie escaped, and in 1926 in Wuchang because of an article "The Difference between Revolution and Social Evolution" was selected and became a cadet of the Whampoa Military Academy.
It was during his studies at the Whampoa Military Academy that Huang Jie came into contact with Marxism and resolutely joined the Communist Party of China, and in 1928 Huang Jie was sent to lead the peasant uprising, which also exercised Huang Jie's command ability and fighting spirit. After that, Huang Jie returned to his hometown of Jiangling to work.
During this period, she was arrested by the Kuomintang because she was reported, but fortunately, her Communist Party identity was not exposed, and she was finally released. But her hometown couldn't stay, so Huang Jie moved to Shanghai, where she began to engage in the underground work of our party and became one of Premier Zhou's right-hand men.
A marriage full of ups and downs
During her work in Shanghai, she knew Zeng Zhongsheng, and the two had common ideals and endless topics, and soon the two came together, but after Zhang Guotao took power, he rejected Zeng Zhongsheng in every way, and arrested Zeng Zhongsheng in 1933. Later, Zhang Guotao was afraid that Zeng Zhongsheng would report him, so he secretly executed him in 1935.
Huang Jie was depressed for a while after learning the bad news, but fortunately, the organization took great care of her and helped her get out of the haze. In 1938, at a meeting, Huang Jie met Zheng De, a pilot of our party, and under Zheng De's pursuit, Huang Jie was moved, and the two finally entered the palace of marriage.
At that time, the Party Central Committee decided to send some outstanding pilots to Xinjiang to study, but as the revolutionary situation intensified, the Xinjiang warlord Sheng Shicai began to arrest the Communists on a large scale, and Zheng De and his party had to evacuate, and on the way to evacuate, Zheng De and his party were captured by the Kuomintang and secretly executed soon after.
However, at this time, Huang Jie was already pregnant, but unfortunately the child did not see his father, and in 1940, Huang Jie went to Yan'an and began to engage in women's work.
A happy ending with Marshal Xu Xiangqian
During his work in Yan'an, Huang Jie was introduced to Marshal Xu Xiangqian, and the two cherished each other very much because of the almost identical emotional experience, and they became husband and wife in 1946. The husband and wife have a good relationship, and they have walked hand in hand for nearly half a century and experienced a happy ending together.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huang Jie continued to fight for the revolution, serving in Qingdao for a period of time, then transferred to the Central Committee, and became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, where she died in 2007.
Epilogue:
Huang Jie's life has been full of ups and downs, but what she has done for New China is worth remembering, and her contributions are as outstanding as her name.
It is precisely because of the selfless dedication of the older generation of martyrs that we have today's prosperous age, always grateful, always remember the martyrs, and selfless dedication to the development of the motherland.
