Premier Zhou and Deng Yingchao, in the middle are the beloved daughter Sun Weishi
Today, in beijing's Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery, there is a cemetery with no ashes, only a portrait, and she is Sun Weishi.
When it comes to Sun Weishi, no one is not impressed by her talent, she went to the Soviet Union to study at the behest of Chairman Mao, and later became the founder of new Chinese opera, one of the three major directors, and the founder of children's drama.
There are too many labels on her: red princess, one of the four beauties of Yan'an, red expert, martyr's bereaved, and a generation of talented women that Lin Biao has painstakingly pursued.
However, when sun Weishi's death was mentioned, no one was shocked and sighed!
In 1968, a woman was held in the prison outside Beijing's Deshengmen Gate, and she was Sun Weishi.
But this prison is not an ordinary prison, but a hell on earth, a typical black prison, where both men and women will eventually be trampled to death.
Will there be such a prison in New China? It is necessary here to give a brief account of the history of the prison.
The prison was a prison for death row inmates left over from the Kuomintang period, and the prison was dark. The walls of the cell were covered with cold droplets of water, the floor was covered with cold green bricks, and the damp green bricks crawled with small bugs running around. Lying on such ground, good people get arthritis as soon as they come in.
Since they are all death row prisoners, the prisoners here are all one person and one room, and the purpose is to facilitate the ravages of prisoners anytime and anywhere.
As we all know, Sun Weishi is Premier Zhou's most beloved adopted daughter, who regards her as her own, and after her arrest, Premier Zhou has looked for many prisons and has not found her.
But soon, Premier Zhou received the news of the death of his beloved daughter, who had been trampled to death, naked and with a long nail embedded in the top of her head.
Premier Zhou was heartbroken, a generation of talented women, she was only 47 years old, why did she die so tragically? Everything has to start with her life and experience.
In 1921, Ren Rui gave birth to a baby girl, and her husband Sun Bingwen named her Wei Shi, which means to maintain world peace. As the name suggests, Sun Bingwen is indeed not a simple character.
Sun Bingwen
As early as 1916, Sun Bingwen and Zhu De met. Sun Bingwen was a radical and passionate man, and he and Zhu De saw each other as brothers with different surnames, and because they were one year older, they were called brothers.
Zhu De mentioned in his memoirs that he and Sun Bingwen had interacted with each other, sun Bingwen and his wife Ren Rui, both graduates of Peking University, were familiar with Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, and Sun Yat-sen also looked up to him. He was arrogant and revolutionary, and had a great influence on Zhu De in his early years.
In 1922, Sun Bingwen arranged his wife and a pair of children, but went to France with Zhu De to work and study to seek the truth of saving the country, where he met Zhou Enlai, and through Zhou Enlai's introduction, joined the party organization with Zhu De.

In 1925, Sun Bingwen returned to China to meet his wife and children, but soon had to leave again. Seeing his father packing up his things again, Sun Weishi, who was only 5 years old, ran over and hugged his father's leg: "Daddy, I won't let you go, I won't let you go!"
Ren Rui hurried to persuade his daughter, but Sun Weishi would not let go no matter what. Sun Bingwen is very happy, because this time he is working in China, he plans to take his daughter, but he can cover up.
This time, Sun Weishi and his father came to Guangzhou together and met Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao. As soon as Zhou Enlai and his wife saw Sun Weishi, they liked it very much, so they asked Sun Weishi to call Him Zhou's father and Xiao Chao's mother.
Zhou Enlai said happily: "What a good boy, he joined the revolution at the age of five!"
Sun Bingwen said to Zhou En: "If one day I sacrifice for the revolution, my children will ask Enlai's younger brother to bother more, and we must raise them to adulthood and inherit our cause."
Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao
At that time, Zhou Enlai was the director of the political department at the Whampoa Military Academy, and Sun Bingwen was an instructor and secretary of the political department after he arrived at the school, and at the same time he was a professor at Guangdong University to train cadres for the revolution. During the Northern Expedition, Sun Bingwen was appointed secretary general of the General Political Department, and later served as the director of the Rear Guard Department.
But soon, in 1927, a counter-revolutionary coup was first launched in Shanghai, and Sun Bingwen was included in Chiang Kai-shek's hunting list, in the "Down with the new warlord Chiang Kai-shek!" In the midst of the shouting, he was executed by Chiang Kai-shek.
A happy family is torn apart, which means that Ren Rui will have to raise the family's five young children alone. This year, Sun Weishi was only more than 6 years old, and he lost his father and left a big scar in the depths of her soul.
Zhu De was shocked to hear the bad news, lost his voice and cried bitterly, he and Sun Bingwen have known each other for more than 10 years, and they are brothers and sisters.
In order to continue the revolution, Ren Rui entrusted his youngest daughter Sun Xinshi to a friend to raise, sent Sun Weishi back to his hometown in Henan, and let her and her sixth aunt Ren Jun go to school together and continue to engage in underground party work.
In 1935, Ren Rui took Sun Weishi and Ren Jun to Shanghai, Sun Weishi was able to sing and dance since childhood, and the party organization decided to send her to the Oriental Drama Society, a progressive literary and art group.
Here, Sun Weishi assumed the pseudonym Li Lin, and she met Lan Ping, who was also the later Jiang Qing. She once gave a stage performance class to Sun Weishi, and in the class, Jiang Qing gave her signed photo to the students.
But Jiang Qing couldn't imagine that it wasn't long before the young Sun Weishi turned out to be a dazzling little star on the beach. She starred as the heroine of "The Gilded City", which caused a sensation on the beach. In this regard, Jiang Qing was envious and jealous.
But what Sun Weishi did not expect was that she would meet Jiang Qing again in Yan'an in the future.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Sun Weishi joined the anti-Japanese rescue performance team, left Shanghai and came to Wuhan, where she was reunited with Zhou Enlai at the Wuhan Eighth Route Army Office.
After not seeing each other for many years, coupled with the fact that his old friend Sun Bingwen had died, the relationship between Zhou Enlai and sun Weishi was even closer. Because she was called Zhou Dad, Xiao Chao's mother had many inconveniences, so she simply called Zhou Enlai and his wife as her father and mother, and here, they formed a family of three.
In 1938, Sun Weishi followed Zhou Enlai and his wife to Yan'an, where he lived in a cave in Zaoyuan and was neighbors of Chairman Mao, Zhu De, Ren Bishi, and Wang Jiaxiang.
Here, Sun Weishi felt the warmth of his parents. Once, she was walking with Zhou Enlai and his wife by the Yan River, Sun Weishi suddenly saw a group of female soldiers washing clothes, she said that she also wanted to be a soldier, so she pulled up her pants legs and ran towards the female soldiers, Zhou Enlai and his wife also followed behind, while running and shouting: "Daughter, daughter, come up quickly, the water is too cold, beware of illness!"
Soon, her birth mother Ren Rui also came to Yan'an, and people called Ren Rui "Comrade Mother", and Chairman Mao also called him so.
But just a year before Sun Weishi came to Yan'an, Lan Ping changed his name to Jiang Qing and also came to Yan'an.
Once, Sun Weishi walked into Chairman Mao's cave and asked, "Aunt He, why aren't you at home?"
Chairman Mao and Jiang Qing
Chairman Mao said, "Your Aunt He, I have gone abroad to study abroad."
But soon after, Chairman Mao married Jiang Qing, and Sun Weishi never went to Chairman Mao's cave again.
In 1939, Zhou Enlai fell while riding a horse and went to the Soviet Union for treatment, Sun Weishi seized the opportunity and went to the Soviet Union to study with chairman Mao's consent.
Here, Sun Weishi was admitted to the acting department of the Moscow Theater Academy as she wished, where she studied for six years, completed the course of the acting department, and studied all the courses of the directing department, and graduated with honors.
But in the process, one person broke into her study life, that is, the famous General Lin Biao. Lin Biao was famous in the Pingxing Guanda Victory, but after he was injured, he also came to the Soviet Union to recuperate.
At that time, many students were in the Soviet Union, but their hearts were still concerned about the motherland's anti-Japanese plan, and after Lin Biao came to the Soviet Union, he would undoubtedly become an idol of these young students, and they often invited Lin Biao to tell some anti-Japanese stories.
Lin Biao
Sun Weishi was born beautiful and lively, and he immediately attracted Lin Biao. Although Lin Biao also married Zhang Mei, a flower in northern Shaanxi at this time, he was also in conflict because of his incompatible personality. At this time, Lin Biao launched a crazy pursuit of Sun Weishi.
But Sun Weishi rejected Lin Biao's love again and again, and Lin Biao finally returned to China with some regrets.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Sun Weishi returned to China with Li Lisan's wife, Li Sha. After arriving in the northeast, she also visited Lin Biao, who was already married to Ye Qun at that time, and because of this, Ye Qun was very jealous, which also laid a little foreshadowing for Sun Weishi's doom in the future.
Soon, Sun Weishi returned to Yan'an. In 1949, Peiping was peacefully liberated, and Sun Weishi did not expect to meet Ye Qun again unexpectedly. At the Beijing Hotel, Ye Qun saw Sun Weishi and shouted at her: "The world is so big, why should we squeeze together?"
Lin Biao and Ye Qun
However, Sun Weishi did not want to participate in the National Congress of Literary and Art Workers held in Beiping, not to join in the fun. That is, in the same year, Chairman Mao was preparing to visit the Soviet Union, and Jiang Qing asked to go there after learning about it, but Chairman Mao did not agree. However, the central authorities appointed Sun Weishi as the head of the translation team and confidential secretary of Chairman Mao's entourage.
This incident made Jiang Qing uneasy, although she was jealous, she could not change her decision. But Sun Weishi did not fail in his mission and completed the task excellently.
After returning to China, Sun Weishi devoted herself to the drama stage of New China, and she successively directed "How Steel is Made", "Minister Chincha", "Uncle Vanya" and children's drama "Little White Rabbit", becoming the founder of the new Chinese drama industry.
Jin Shan and Wang Ying
But just when Sun Weishi was very popular, she fell in love with Jinshan, who was also an actor and a husband with a wife. When Zhou Enlai found out, he was very angry and said, "It is not right for you to do this."
But Sun Weishi has fallen in love, she said: "What's wrong with the freedom of marriage?"
Zhou Enlai advised: "You are interfering in someone else's family, and the state's marriage law does not have this provision."
But Sun Weishi, who was as stubborn as his father Sun Bingwen, was willing to listen to Zhou Enlai's advice.
In 1950, she still had a wedding with Kanayama. Because she was a red princess, many politicians and celebrities participated, such as Luo Ruiqing, minister of public security, Xiao Hua, director of the General Political Department, and Wu Yuzhang, president of Chinese min University.
Jin Shan and Sun Weishi
Of course, there was another person, that is, Jiang Qing, who took Mao Anying, Mao Anqing, Li Min, and Li Ne, drove several small cars, and came to participate in a huge wave.
In the end, it was Zhou Enlai and his wife, who attended the wedding, although Zhou Enlai did not approve of his daughter marrying Jinshan. Deng Yingchao said to Jinshan with a serious expression: "Jinshan, my girlfriend will be handed over to you, you must take good care of her and love her!"
At the wedding, all the gifts were given, but everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Enlai's gifts, but when the gifts were opened, the audience could not help but feel a little embarrassed. It turned out that Zhou Enlai's gift was a red cover of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China. This was unexpected by everyone, but everything was in plain sight.
However, shortly after the marriage, when Jinshan, as the director of the Youth Art Academy, was experiencing life on the front line of North Korea, there was a peach incident and committed a life style problem. Jin Shan was swept to the end, directly expelled from the party and sent to labor reform.
After Sun Weishi learned about it, she was very sad, she was particularly guilty, and there was a crisis in the marriage before the honeymoon period, how did she explain to her parents. Many people persuaded her to divorce Jinshan, and as Premier Zhou's Qianjin, Sun Weishigen was Miao Hong. But she still loves Jinshan in her heart and still decides to give her a chance.
Sun Weishi
Because Jin Shan was forgiven by Sun Weishi, he changed his past wrongs and later resumed his acting career. But what was unexpected was that a Cultural Revolution was slowly approaching.
In 1968, shortly after the eldest brother Sun Yang was killed, her husband Jin Shan was also arrested, and Sun Weishi was also caught by a gang of people, shaving his hair and fighting, demanding to expose Chen Yi and Zhu De, because Sun Bingwen once had a good relationship with Chen Yi and Zhu De, and Sun Weishi was also relatively close to them.
Of course, he didn't get anything from this, and he quickly turned to Premier Zhou in a vain attempt to get Premier Zhou's materials from Sun Weishi. But all you get is a roar.
But soon after, Jiang Qing sent a copy of Sun Weishi's material that he was a "Soviet revision agent" and waited for Premier Zhou's approval to arrest him. Premier Zhou was embarrassed, but she took up a pen and issued an arrest warrant. Knowing that his daughter has been wronged, why did the Prime Minister issue an arrest warrant?
In fact, the prime minister's intention was to protect Sun Weishi, put him outside the prison, and sooner or later he would be tortured to death. Relatively safe in prison.
However, no one expected that in the prison outside Beijing's Desheng Gate for only half a year, Sun Weishi would be trampled to death.
Before his arrest, Sun Weishi had agreed with his sister Sun Xinshi to meet every Wednesday night under the Tiananmen Monument to the People's Heroes, such as a future, indicating that something must have happened.
Of course, Sun Xinshi could no longer wait for his sister. After half a year, Jiang Qing arrogantly put a forged case on the prime minister's desk, saying that Sun Weishi had died of illness and had been treated as a counter-revolutionary, and that the ashes had not been retained. This is why Sun Weishi's cemetery in Babaoshan only has a photograph and no ashes.
Premier Zhou
After Sun Weishi was killed, Premier Zhou spent all day without thinking about tea and dinner, often holding Sun Weishi's photos in a daze. But he did not dare to tell Deng Yingchao this news, for fear that she would not be able to bear it.
Lin Biao was also very angry when he got the news of Sun Weishi's murder, and he slapped the table and pointed at Jiang Qing and Ye Qun and scolded, how could he do such a hurtful thing. Sun Weishi's tragic death was indeed caused by Jiang Qing and Ye Qun, but in that special period, Premier Zhou had no choice.
In 1977, Sun Weishi was able to rehabilitate Zhaoxue, but a generation of talented women could never come back.
