The first "love letter" he sent her was a postcard from France with portraits of Liebknecht and Luxemburg, and the words on the postcard read: "I hope that in the future, we will also walk on the guillotine like them." She later said: "To be honest, the first time I saw such a love story, I was shocked, which is much more advanced than 'I wish I died on the same day in the same month of the same year'!" Full of fearless revolutionary spirit"!
They have no children, which makes many people choke on them. In fact, they had two children: the first of which she had done on her own initiative for the revolutionary work. The second child died prematurely because of the use of forceps in dystocia, which injured the child's brain.
After the founding of New China, she once went to See Dr. Lin Qiaozhi of Union Hospital under a pseudonym, when she was 46 years old, and then for various reasons she gave up the idea of having children again. Lin Qiaozhi later knew that it was her, and regretted not persuading her well, if he had known that it was her, he would have let her conceive a child!
In January 1976, as he was dying, he whispered to her, "I have a lot of things in my stomach that I haven't said to you." She also told him softly, "I have a lot of things in my stomach that I haven't said to you." ”
This love that looks "unworthy" with the eyes of a layman is truly a song that has never been sung for eternity.
They knew each other, fell in love, and worked together for 51 years. For the sake of the revolutionary cause, they always firmly adhered to their original vows, as husband and wife, as partners, and even more as revolutionary comrades-in-arms.
He had embraced "unmarriedism", and when he met her later, he abandoned "unmarriedism" and felt that revolutionaries should also have marriage.
He was in love with her, and she hesitated why was it him? He said, I want to marry a man who is a husband and wife, but also a staunch revolutionary, who can be a comrade-in-arms of the revolution.
He firmly believes in materialism, but because of her, he hopes that after he dies, he will have an afterlife, and they can still be related again....
Their marriage is unremarkable, they can't see the shocking scene, but they have made countless people believe in love!
He was Zhou Enlai, and she was Deng Yingchao.
From an early age, Zhou Enlai had lofty ambitions and was determined to devote his life to the revolutionary cause of seeking the independence and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Born on March 5, 1898 in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, Zhou Enlai studied classic masterpieces from an early age and laid a solid cultural foundation. He successively entered Yinggang Academy, Dongguan Model School, Tianjin Nankai School and other schools, and not only had outstanding performances in talent, conduct, and social activities, but also established the ambition of "reading for the rise of China".
In the spring of 1910, Zhou Enlai came to Tieling, Liaoning Province, with Zhou Yiqian, the third cousin who had returned home to visit his relatives, and lived in his home and merged into The Yingang Academy (Junior Primary School). In the autumn, he moved to zhou yigeng's home in Shenyang and entered the newly built Fengtian "Dongguan Model School". This is a relatively new school that has just opened.

During the two years of the Dongguan Model School, Zhou Enlai studied hard, excelled in both character and learning, especially in composition, which was praised by teachers and was often posted in the school's performance exhibition office. Chinese language teachers also lamented to their colleagues around them: "I have been teaching books for decades, and I have never seen such a good student"!
It was also in this school that the young Zhou Enlai made the ambition to "study for the rise of China".
Zhou Enlai studied at the "Dongguan Model School" in Shenyang
Zhou Enlai also went to Japan and Europe to study, and on the basis of repeated reflections, he finally chose the beliefs of Marxism and communism, and returned to China in July 1924 to devote himself to the revolutionary cause.
The young Zhou Enlai was heroic and compelling, the young Zhou Enlai was handsome and talented, and many beautiful people with good talents were interested in him, but Zhou Enlai always treated him as a comrade and friend, and never thought of falling in love.
Deng Yingchao was born in 1904 in Guangshan, Henan, and was born in Nanning, Guangxi. Deng Yingchao lost his father at an early age and lived a life of poverty by following his mother Yang Zhende to practice medicine or be a tutor.
From 1913 to 1920, Deng Yingchao studied at the First Women's Normal School in Tianjin, and later taught at the Beiping Normal University Affiliated Primary School and the Tianjin Daren Girls' School.
Deng Yingchao threw himself into the revolution as a young man, participated in the May Fourth Movement, and participated in the organization of the Tianjin Federation of All Walks of Life, became a student leader in Tianjin with Zhou Enlai and others, and they also jointly organized the progressive society , the "Awakening Society"
Deng Yingchao was 6 years younger than Zhou Enlai, when Zhou Enlai was admitted to Nankai University in 1919, Deng Yingchao, who had a baby's face, entered Nankai Middle School, and the two of them, who originally did not have much contact, magically intersected due to the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement.
The first time Zhou Enlai met Deng Yingchao, it happened at a student speech conference at Nankai Middle School.
From an early age, Zhou Enlai had lofty ambitions, insisted on celibacy and non-marriage, and was determined to devote his life to the revolutionary cause. Therefore, although Zhou Enlai is handsome and talented, and many beautiful ladies around him are interested in him, Zhou Enlai always insists on not falling in love.
Since meeting Deng Yingchao, the "unmarried doctrine" in Zhou Enlai's mind collapsed in an instant.
Later, Zhou Enlai went to France to work and study, while Deng Yingchao went to Beijing Normal University as a teacher. The two would communicate from time to time, but Deng Yingchao never thought much about the feelings between the two.
Until one day, Deng Yingchao suddenly received a postcard sent by Zhou Enlai from France, with the portraits of the famous German proletarians Liebknecht and Luxemburg printed on it, with a sentence attached: "I hope that one day in the future, we will also walk on the guillotine together like them."
Deng Yingchao once admitted that when Zhou Enlai chased after herself, even she herself was a little confused, but after careful consideration, she still agreed to him. Because Zhou Enlai told Deng Yingchao that what he needed was a revolutionary partner who could engage in revolutionary work all his life and could withstand the hardships of the revolution, Deng Yingchao knew very well that she met his requirements!
In 1925, the two married in Guangzhou. At that time, Zhou Enlai was the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, and on the night of the wedding, Zhang Zhizhong, He Yingqin, Deng Yanda, and Chen Geng all came to congratulate him. On that day, Zhou Enlai was in a good mood, he did not refuse to come, according to Deng Yingchao's recollection, Enlai drank three bottles of brandy until he was drunk.
In October 1925, the newly married Zhou Enlai led the Crusade army to Shantou, and Deng Yingchao, who was staying in Guangzhou to work, found herself pregnant. According to Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao's secretary Zhao Wei recalled: "At that time, she was alone in the family, and she was still assisting He Xiangning to do women's work, which opened up a little situation, she felt that she did not have time to take the child, so she took it upon herself to go to the street to buy some proprietary Chinese medicine for fetal beating, and the child miscarried." After the two reunited, Zhou Enlai felt that her face was not good, and when he asked the truth, he was very angry: "The child is not the private property of the individual, he also belongs to the state and the society, what right do you have to kill him casually?" The body is the capital of the revolution, but you casually waste yourself and do not cherish the body, which is an irresponsible attitude. If you want to beat the fetus, you should also discuss with me in advance and listen to my opinion, why do you make up your own mind and act rashly?"
Deng Yingchao told Zhao Wei in his later years: "To tell the truth, in the next few decades of common life, I have never seen Enlai make such a big fire, I know that I am wrong, I admitted my mistake to him, and the matter will pass."
Two years later, Deng Yingchao became pregnant again, and this time Zhou Enlai was still not around. At this time, the revolutionary situation was in turmoil, and Zhou Enlai was very busy... Deng Yingchao, under the care of his mother, gave birth to a big fat boy in Guangzhou on March 21, 1927 (that day was also the day when Zhou Enlai led the third armed uprising of shanghai workers), because the fetus was too large, it was born for three days and three nights, and then had to use forceps to clip the fetus out, because of the damage to the child's head, the child died ten days after birth, and the child weighed ten pounds!
After the founding of New China, Deng Yingchao once came to Xiehe Hospital "pseudonym" to find a famous obstetrics and gynecology expert Lin Qiaozhi to see a doctor, that year Deng Yingchao was 46 years old, and then for various reasons, Deng Yingchao still gave up the idea of childbearing. After Lin Qiaozhi later learned that she was Zhou Enlai's wife Deng Yingchao, he regretted it very much, if he knew that she was Deng Yingchao at that time, Lin Qiaozhi would definitely try his best to let her give birth to a child!
One night in January 1976, Premier Zhou woke up from his coma, looked at Deng Yingchao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "I have a lot of words in my stomach that I haven't said." Deng Yingchao nodded and said softly, "I also have a lot of words in my stomach that I haven't said." A few days later, Premier Zhou passed away at the age of 78.
The husband and wife relationship between Premier Zhou and Deng Yingchao has long exceeded the ordinary sense of husband and wife, which is unique and immortal!
May there be an afterlife, and they will hold hands again. Hopefully, there will be an afterlife, and they will have their own offspring. I hope there will be an afterlife, they will not keep secrets to each other so strictly for the revolution, they will talk about everything, they will keep each other with all their hearts...
If human beings really have an afterlife, I hope that their next life will come sooner....
