On October 1, 1955, the founding generals were invited to participate in the National Day ceremony, and the generals at all levels wore new dresses for the first time, with neat military uniforms and high spirits, and they wore brilliant medals on their chests, showing supreme honor and brilliance.
Deng Yingchao found General Chen Geng in the crowd, felt very fresh, and pulled him to take pictures with himself.
The photographer skillfully adjusted the angle so that the two stood together, and a precious group photo was frozen in a moment of history.
Why is the relationship between Chen Geng and Sister Deng so good? What kind of deep friendship does he have with Premier Zhou and his wife?
They are both teachers and students, and brothers
Premier Zhou's acquaintance with Chen Geng can be traced back to the early days of the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy.
At that time, Premier Zhou was already an important leader of the Communist Party of China and was appointed director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, responsible for the political education and ideological work of the cadets.
Chen Geng is a student in the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, only in his early 20s, and he is in high spirits.
Chen Geng quickly stood out from the crowd of students with his outstanding performance and extraordinary intelligence, and Premier Zhou noticed this young student and was impressed by his ability and talent.
In 1925, due to his outstanding performance, Chen Geng was appointed Premier Zhou's guard adjutant, and he had to follow the prime minister every day to be responsible for his security affairs.
Both men have strong communist beliefs and a high degree of political views, and in their spare time, they often sit together to talk about the current situation, exchange ideas, and imagine the future.
In 1935, when the Red Army's Long March began, due to long-term fatigue and malnutrition, coupled with the hardships of the journey, Premier Zhou suffered from liver disease, which could not be treated on the way to transfer, and his body became weaker and weaker.
After Chen Geng heard the news of Premier Zhou's illness, he rushed to apply to the leaders for transfer and asked to take care of him by the premier's side.
After learning about Premier Zhou's condition from the doctor, Chen Geng searched for ice cubes from the snow-capped mountains and carefully applied them to his liver.
This disease is extremely difficult to cure without medical treatment, but I did not expect Premier Zhou's body temperature to gradually drop, his condition has improved significantly, and he miraculously recovered his health.
Since then, Chen Geng has always paid attention to Premier Zhou's physical condition and taken care of him wholeheartedly.
Chen Geng's meticulousness and loyalty made Premier Zhou trust him even more, and the two were good partners on the battlefield and good brothers in life.
After the end of the Long March, the friendship between the two became deeper, and in the subsequent War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Chen Geng has been Premier Zhou's most effective assistant.
Whether it is decision-making on the battlefield or construction in peacetime, Chen Geng fully supports Premier Zhou and jointly contributes to the founding and development of New China.
The most respected Sister Deng
While working at the Whampoa Military Academy, Premier Zhou reported to the organization and asked to marry Deng Yingchao.
The organization agreed to his request, and after learning the good news, Premier Zhou immediately began to arrange for Deng Yingchao to come to Guangzhou and marry him.
However, on the day Deng Yingchao came to Guangzhou, he could not go to greet him in person, and in order to arrange Deng Yingchao, Premier Zhou handed over this important task to his most trusted comrade-in-arms, Chen Geng.
Chen Geng looked at the photo carefully, wrote down Deng Yingchao's appearance, and solemnly assured Zhou Enlai: "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, I will definitely complete the task and bring Comrade Deng Yingchao to you safely." ”
After Chen Geng came to the pier in a hurry, he held the photo aloft and anxiously shuttled through the crowd, constantly asking people who came and went, but there was no result.
Time passed little by little, the sunset gradually set, and the crowd on the dock gradually dispersed, but Deng Yingchao was never seen, Chen Geng felt extremely anxious and lost.
However, as it got late and the hope of finding someone was getting slimmer, Chen Geng had to leave the dock and return to Premier Zhou's residence with a heavy heart, pondering Deng Yingchao's whereabouts along the way, worrying about whether she would arrive safely.
When Chen Geng returned to Premier Zhou's residence, it was already late at night, he pushed open the door and was surprised to find a dignified woman sitting in the living room, the woman had a beautiful face and a calm expression, it was Deng Yingchao.
Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, Deng Yingchao smiled and pulled him up, signaling that there was nothing wrong, Premier Zhou stepped forward to introduce them to each other, this was the first acquaintance between Chen Geng and Sister Deng.
Soon after, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao began to prepare for the wedding, and when Chen Geng learned about it, he offered to help and contributed a lot.
Despite Deng Yingchao's young age, Chen Geng was very admired for her wisdom and courage, and he always affectionately called her "Sister Deng", and his words were full of respect.
Deng Yingchao also cares about Chen Geng and treats him as his own brother, whenever Chen Geng encounters difficulties, Deng Yingchao will give him encouragement and support to help him tide over difficulties.
The friendship between the three of them has deepened in the storm of the revolution, and they are not only comrades-in-arms, but also relatives.
