If I'm not mistaken, in Age of Awakening she should have appeared only twice, for a total of 6 lines:
The first scene is in Episode 3, where young Mao Zedong runs in the rain and runs all the way into a small courtyard in the suburbs to meet his friends Cai Hesen, Chen Chang and others. Several young people talked together about the "New Youth" founded by Chen Duxiu. In the corner of the courtyard, there was an old woman who was cooking and cooking, stir-frying vegetables and listening carefully to the young man.
After that, she said 4 lines.
The first sentence is to say that these young people are "not small, you have a bit of a peach orchard here", and the young people laughed heartily after listening to it.
The second sentence is to ask, "Which of these twenty-eight painters is this?" The young people replied that it was runzhi. After listening to it, she said the third sentence: "Runzhi, this guy is very powerful." ”
Finally, the young people began to eat, and Mao Zedong suddenly turned his head to ask the old lady to stir-fry more spicy food, and the old lady said the fourth line: "Enough for you to eat." In the tone, full of favor for Mao Zedong.
The second scene is in Episode 15, this time she says two lines.
In this episode, 13 progressive young people, including Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen, and He Shuheng, meet in a hut to officially announce the establishment of the Xinmin Society. The young man was having a heated discussion, and the old lady who was cooking appeared in the background again. She was just listening at first, without saying a word.
Until everyone talked about studying in France, she stood up and lightly instructed Mao Zedong: "Runzhi, it is a good thing to study in France, you have to bother more!" The young Mao Zedong seemed to listen to her and nodded his head to indicate that he would.
Then the old lady said quite domineeringly: "Gentlemen, if you can, my old lady will also go to France to work and study, see the world, and learn more new things." ”
From beginning to end, she said a total of 6 lines, but it caused a lot of discussion among netizens. Some netizens have some puzzlements: why Mao Zedong has so much respect for her; why it is obvious that a group of young people are in a meeting, and why the screenwriter arranges for an old lady to observe? Is there any special significance in this arrangement?
All this puzzlement actually has the same answer: because this is the real history, the cottage that was founded in 1918 was her home. Mao Zedong has always respected her since she was young. Many years later, when he learned of her death, Mao Zedong, who was already 50 years old, was deeply saddened and wrote a prayer for her: old woman, bride Dao; children heroic, heroine.
Apparently, Mao Zedong did not honor her because she made a good dish. Her name is Ge Jianhao, and when she was with these children, she was actually only about 49 years old, and the TV series made her a little younger and older for artistic effects.
Ge Jianhao's life is magnificent. After learning about her life, some netizens said: "The big heroine does not dare to shoot like this!" Nowadays, literary historians mention her, and they all love to add 4 big characters to her name: Chinese Female Jie. This issue of soul said to take everyone to comb through her life, I believe that after everyone understands it, they will understand: how good is she? Why did Chairman Mao respect her so much?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" >: The husband smokes a lot of cigarettes and begs for a wife, and her marriage is full of holes</h1>
The old people often say that "marriage is the second reincarnation of a woman", which modern women may not agree with, but more than 100 years ago, it was a portrayal of the lives of the vast majority of women.
Ge Jianhao's "second reincarnation" is not lucky. Her original name was Ge Lanying, she was the daughter of the general, and her father Ge Baowu was originally a fierce general in the Xiang Army, and later died in Hubei. In the year of her father's death, Glen Ying was only one year and four months old, and since then she and several brothers have been cared for by her mother Chen.
Ge Jiayuan was one of the three most famous families in Shuangfeng County, Hunan, the other two being: the Zeng family (Zeng Guofan family) and the Wang family (Qiu Jin's husband Wang Tingjun family). Between these three families, there was an in-law relationship with each other in the early years. After Ge Lanying's father died in the war, although the Ge family was not as beautiful as the other two families, the overall family situation was still good. Since she was a child, Glen Ying has been reading and learning with several elder brothers, and she is very knowledgeable.
At the age of 16, Under the arrangement of her family, Ge Lanying married Cai Rongfeng in a neighboring town. The Cai family is in Yongfeng Town, cai Rongfeng's father and Ge Lanying's father were once colleagues in the Xiang Army, and this marriage is something that both the Ge and Cai families are willing to see. The Cai family was already in the middle of the family at this time, and after Cai Rongfeng married Ge Lanying, he took the family to Shanghai to make a living, and relied on connections to serve in the Shanghai Machinery Bureau.
This period was the period of Glen Ying's break with her husband. At that time, the great Shanghai was like a kaleidoscope, illuminating the prosperity of the city and the people's hearts. During this time, the husband contracted a lot of vices. He smoked a lot of cigarettes and made his house cloudy every day; he begged his little wife and put on a face for Glen Ying and his children; he put stinky racks on the workers of the Machine Bureau, losing his decorum.
For such a husband, Glen Ying naturally could not accept it, and in a fit of anger, she returned to her mother's house with her children to draw a clear line with her husband. Such a choice was certainly bold at the time. The next year, Cai Rongfeng could not stay in Shanghai any longer and could only return to his hometown. After that, the couple bought 30 acres of land in the town and began to live a solid life.
During this time, Glen Ying met a person who influenced her life: Qiu Jin. Qiu Jin is 10 years younger than Ge Lanying, her ancestral home is Zhejiang, and when her father served in Hunan, he promised her to the Twin Peaks Royal Family. Belonging to one of the three famous families, Ge Lanying naturally had contacts with the daughter-in-law of the Wang family.
Qiu Jin is such an attractive woman, And glen ying admired her a few times after contact with her, and she always said to her children: "She is a great person."
In 1906, after Qiu Jin returned from studying in Japan, he devoted himself to revolution, during which he returned to his in-laws' home. At this time, Qiu Jin was dressed in men's clothes, with short hair in the ears, very heroic. The villagers all think that this woman is probably "crazy", but Ge Lanying thinks that she is a strange woman with wisdom and courage. What happened to Qiu Jin later, everyone should know that she was righteous in Shaoxing Xuantingkou in 1907, at the age of 32.
Compared with Qiu Jin, Ge Lanying's confrontation with feudal society, especially with her husband, is milder, but just as bold. This is mainly reflected in her big things and small things for her children.
Glen Ying gave birth to 3 boys and 3 girls, the eldest son and the second daughter died, and several other children were carefully educated by her. Daughter Cai Chang recalled in her later years: "My mother was really a respectable woman at that time."
For the eldest daughter, she is a mother whose family cannot afford to mess with. The eldest daughter Cai Qingxi got married early, and soon her husband died, and the in-laws felt that she was ominous, harsh on her in everything, and sold her daughter Liu Ang to others as a child bridesmaid. However, Glen was angry, found the Liu family theory, and took his daughter and granddaughter back to his mother's house, so that they were disconnected from the Liu family.
Treating the third son, Cai Hesen, she is a mother who can be relied on at a critical time. Cai and Sen were the best of the children, and because of the family's lack of success, he was arranged by his father to be an apprentice in a hot sauce shop. After studying for 3 years, Cai Hesen told his mother: "My son still wants to study." Glen Ying thought about it, and took out a bag of jewelry and handed it to her son, which was her dowry that she had saved for more than 20 years. It was with this money that 18-year-old Cai Hesen was able to go out of his hometown, enter the Hunan First Division, and meet Mao Zedong.
Treating her daughter Cai Chang, she is a mother who can give advice on everything. The husband wanted to let Cai Chang wrap his feet, but Ge Lanying said that he did not agree with anything, but wanted her to read and learn words like a boy. When Cai Chang was 13 years old, her father wanted to sell her to a landlord's family as a little wife, and Ge Lanying secretly sent her to relatives in Changsha. She told her daughter: "Go to Changsha to find her brother Cai hesen." At this time, Ge Lanying should not have imagined that more than 30 years later, Cai Chang would become the president of the first All-China Women's Federation of New China.
For her husband Cai Rongfeng, Ge Lanying, who does everything against him, is certainly not a virtuous wife. But he died in 1932, if he could learn the achievements of his children, he should be proud that the Cai family could marry such a strange woman!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > two: "Self-achievement" and "raising children" are contradictory? </h1>
Are the two things of "self-achievement" and "raising children" contradictory? This question is a topic that has plagued generations of women. In this regard, Glen Ying gave a full score answer.
In 1913, after the 18-year-old Cai Hesen entered the Hunan First Division with the financial support of his mother, he was exposed to a new idea, Mr. Yang Changji valued him, and Mao Zedong and other classmates also became close friends with him. The life pattern of this former hot sauce shop elementary school apprentice was suddenly opened.
As soon as the school was closed, Cai and Sen couldn't wait to return to their hometown and tell their mothers about all this. The son spoke passionately, the mother had to relish it, and Ge Lanying immediately made a decision: take the eldest daughter and 4-year-old granddaughter with her son to study in the provincial city.
The 48-year-old woman wanted to study, and the teachers of the Hunan Women's Teachers' Training Institute refused to agree to it, and refused to let her sign up. In a fit of rage, Glen Ying asked her son to write a complaint for her and sue the school. On the paper, Glen Ying changed her domineering name to herself: Ge Jianhao.
This incident became a major event in the academic circles at that time, and people were talking about who this "crazy woman" was, just like they talked about Qiu Jin many years ago, they would not understand how great these women were!
In this lawsuit, Ge Jianhao won. Even the county officials who were crepe and crepe were touched by her and gave her the 4 big characters of "Qizhi Kejia" to let her enroll in the exam. Influenced by her mother, cai Qingxi, the eldest daughter who is 4 years old, also entered the girls' school, while the little granddaughter also entered the kindergarten, and the three generations of the family began to study.
Since then, Ge Jianhao's life has been like "opening the hanging". After completing her studies, she devoted all her money to running a second girls' school in the county, serving as the principal herself, while her daughter taught at the girls' school. After the girls' school was closed due to insufficient funds, she returned to Changsha to live with her son Cai Hesen and his friends.
At that time, Cai Hesen and Mao Zedong and others were preparing for the Xinmin Society, and Ge Jianhao played the role of "Logistics Minister". She cooked for these young people and took care of their daily lives.
At that time, Mao Zedong always called Ge Jianhao "Aunt Cai" and had great respect for her (this "Aunt Cai", Chairman Mao called for many years). During this period, Mao Zedong's mother, Wen Qimei, came to Changsha for medical treatment and was also taken care of by her. Obviously, at that time, she had become the common "big parent" of this group of children.
In 1918, the New People's Society was founded, and the scene played in "The Age of Awakening" did happen. Ge Jianhao said that he also wanted to study abroad, and she did.
At that time, the situation was like this: Cai Hesen, Xiang Jingyu, Cai Chang, Li Fuchun and a group of young people were going to study abroad, but Cai Hesen always felt that her mother was also a progressive woman and always had the idea of studying abroad, so she insisted on taking her with her. Ge Jianhao was touched by his son's words and gladly agreed.
With Ge Jianhao, the logistics minister, the children have been greatly helped in life in France:
This help is on the one hand economic. Before going abroad, Ge Jianhao went to find the descendants of Zeng Guofan's family and got 600 yuan of corporate funding for these young people, which solved their urgent needs. While in France, she read and sold embroidery to ease the financial burden on her children.
On the other hand, the children's life in France is basically taken care of by her, and she has witnessed the marriage of Cai and Sen and Xiang Jingyu, and also witnessed the joy of her daughter Cai Chang.
Cultivating children and achieving self-achievement can be taken care of, which is the answer given by Ge Jianhao. In his 4-year study abroad career, Ge Jianhao not only successfully graduated on his own, but also participated in and organized many student petition campaigns. These are the things she wants to do.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > three: how many people can bear the pain of white-haired people sending black-haired people? </h1>
With the full support of their mothers, several children of the Cai family embarked on the road of revolution. The second son, Cai Luxian, under the influence of his younger brother Cai Hesen, joined the Communist Party and organized the workers' movement in Shanghai. The third son, Cai Hesen, together with his beloved Xiang Jingyu, organized revolutionary movements in various places. Her daughter Cai Chang, along with her son-in-law Li Fuchun, also became the backbone of the revolution.
But behind the glory, it also means that Ge Jianhao must bear the pain of the white-haired people sending the black-haired people.
The first person to leave her was the second son, Cai Luxian.
In 1925, Ge Jianhao celebrated his 60th birthday in his hometown, and several children came, but the second son Cai Luxian did not appear. Daughter Cai Chang took out a photo of the second brother, which was the birthday gift of the second brother to his mother.
In the photo, Cai Luxian, who is in his 30s, is wearing a military uniform and is very heroic. On the back of the photo is written the following line: Dedicated to the sixtieth birthday of the mother, Erlin steamed on it. (After Cai Luxian participated in the revolution, he changed his name to Cai Linsheng)
This was Ge Jianhao's most satisfying birthday gift on the day. For this second son, she always felt very guilty. After the death of the eldest son, the child took on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brother and sister. His understanding always made Ge Jianhao's mother feel painful.
When his younger brother and sister wanted to study, he had to give up his studies and grow vegetables and start a small business at home. In 1919, his younger siblings all went to study abroad, and he felt that his education level was not high, so he took the initiative to stay and take care of his elderly father and the eldest sister who left his in-laws' family. It is precisely because of Cai Luxian's understanding, brother, sister, and mother that he can study in France.
When his brother and sister returned from school, Cai Luxian, who was already 35 years old, had the opportunity to pursue his life. He joined the party under the influence of his younger brother, and after that, while supporting his family, he studied desperately, and was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy in the spring of 1924. Choosing to send a military uniform photo on his mother's 60th birthday is his greatest filial piety to his mother. Looking at this photo, Ge Jianhao was extremely proud, and sure enough, the children she taught were all good.
However, only a few months after this joy, Ge Jianhao received the news that his son had died heroically in the provincial and Hong Kong strikes. The daughter told her: "The second brother walked very bravely, did not lose your face", and then took out the 600 yuan pension that the organization gave to the family. Ge Jianhao did not ask for the money and donated it to the poor children of the school.
The second person to leave her was her daughter-in-law Xiang Jingyu.
For this daughter-in-law, Ge Jianhao has an endless liking. Xiang Jianyu has a short hair, always so energetic, just like Qiu Jin when he was young. In Ge Jianhao's view, this daughter-in-law did what she had always wanted to do when she was young, but had no chance.
After Xiang Jianyu gave birth to Cai Bo and Cai Ni to the Cai family, Ge Jianhao has always supported her to continue the revolution, and he has taken on the responsibility of helping his daughter-in-law with a pair of children.
In 1927, Xiang Jianyu passed through Hunan before going to Wuhan to take up his post, and hurried back to the Cai family once to see his children. At this time, Xiang Jingyu and Cai and Sen have been separated due to living habits, personality incompatibility and other reasons, and Cai and Sen already have a new family. Ge Jianhao, who has always regarded her as his own daughter, warmly left her at home for one night.
The two children did not recognize their mother at all, and both hid behind their grandmother. Xiang Jianyu cried, and Ge Jianhao also cried. That night, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time, and Ge Jianhao reassured Xiang Jianyu over and over again: I will definitely keep the two children, and you can do whatever you want. The Cai family was a thorn in the reactionaries' side at the time, but Xiang Jingyu believed that her mother-in-law could do what she said.
After that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly said goodbye. A year later, the 33-year-old Xiang died in Wuhan. On the day he got the news, his grandson Cai Bo found that his always strong old grandmother had secretly wiped her tears several times.
The third one to leave her was her sons Cai hesen.
Cai Hesen has always been Ge Jianhao's proudest son. In a sense, this son also changed her destiny. It was his insistence on going to Hunan to study that allowed the family to embark on the road of revolution; it was also he who encouraged his mother to go to Changsha and France with him, which made her transform into a generation of female masters.
So in his later years, Ge Jianhao took a few children for Cai and Sen and hid in Tibet, hoping that his son would come back to see her. But she did not know that Cai and Sen had been heroic as early as August 1931.
This news, daughter Cai Chang is aware, she is afraid that her mother will not be able to stand up, so she has not let the comrades tell her. After more than ten years of waiting, she is always looking forward to the return of her son. In 1943, before his death, the 78-year-old Ge Jianhao was still asking his eldest daughter: "Did Hesen and Xianxi have a letter back?" (Xian Xi refers to Cai Chang)
The eldest daughter did not dare to tell the truth, but just cried. Ge Jianhao also instructed her: "Mothers can no longer see the success of their careers, but the revolution will definitely win." When she finished, she closed her eyes forever.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > four: Behind her, the Grandchildren of the Cai family have become talents</h1>
Ge Jianhao's extraordinary feature, in addition to studying in middle age and cultivating several Brothers and Sisters of the Cai family, is that she has protected the children of several children. Under the care of their grandmothers, these grandchildren have become talented, and I will only list a few of them:
Grandson Cai Bo, the son of Cai Hesen and Xiang Jingyu, lived with his grandmother from an early age, who taught him to read and learn characters, and was later sent to the Soviet Union by Premier Zhou to study. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he returned to China and became the first generation of steel experts, making great contributions to the construction of new China.
Granddaughter Cai Ni, daughter of Cai Hesen and Xiang Jianyu, was sheltered by her grandmother at an early age and later studied in the Soviet Union. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he worked as a doctor and a professor of foreign languages.
Granddaughter Li Tete, the daughter of Cai Chang and Li Fuchun, grew up with her grandmother, studied in the Soviet Union and returned to China to engage in nuclear effect research in the Gobi Desert, and witnessed the success of the first atomic bomb explosion in 1964.
Ge Jianhao is a small-footed woman, and we can't imagine how much suffering she suffered in order to save these children in the beacon years. Or maybe, for her, all this suffering is nothing, after all, she has spent half her life doing what she really wants to do.
In December 1985, in order to commemorate her, Shuangfeng County erected a monument in the town of Yongfeng, where she once lived, and Chen Yun personally inscribed 8 big characters: Cai Mu Ge Jianhao Monument. At the same time, the "Biography of The People of the History of the Communist Party of China" also set up a biography for her, and she was the only non-Party person among them. With this article, I would like to commemorate Ms. Ge Jianhao, who can afford chairman Mao's respect.
