"Why don't you miss the reunion of flesh and blood, why don't you miss the intimacy of your family... In order to let thousands of mothers and children live a good life, so that the white-haired elderly can enjoy their lives, the child has decided to promise the country with his body! The revolution did not succeed and vowed not to return home. Fengcui's parents are both dead, and I hope that the adults will treat their daughter-in-law kindly, and see Fengcui as if they were seeing children. ”
This is a letter written to his parents in June 1927 by Wang Erzhuo, chief of staff of the 74th Regiment of the 25th Division of the Fourth Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army and a member of the Communist Party. The Fengcui mentioned in the letter is his wife Zheng Fengcui.
Wang Erzhuo and Zheng Fengcui are both from Guanqiao Village, Shimen County, Hunan Province. In October 1923, Wang Erzhuo and Zheng Fengcui were officially married. Only three months after the marriage, Wang Erzhu learned the news of the enrollment of the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou, and resolutely bid farewell to his new wife and went to apply for the examination.
Who knew that this walk had become the eternal trick of this loving couple.
In the more than three years since he left home, Wang Erzhuo not only became a graduate of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, but also formally joined the Communist Party of China under the training of Zhou Enlai, director of the school's political department. In the Northern Expedition, he made great achievements.
After the Northern Expedition conquered Wuchang, Wang Erzhuo, who was worried about his wife and daughter who had never met before, wrote a letter asking the mother and daughter to reunite in Wuhan. Unexpectedly, before the family could be reunited, there was a counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai, the revolutionary situation in the whole country changed drastically, and Wang Erzhu became a wanted "CCP criminal" and had to leave Wuhan urgently.
One day in June 1927, in a street in Wuhan, Zheng Fengcui took her 3-year-old daughter Guifang, and after several twists and turns, finally found the house rented for them by her husband Wang Erzhuo, but the house was empty.
The mother and daughter waited for more than ten days, and did not wait for their relatives, so they had to leave a letter to their husbands to regret their return to their hometown. Three-year-old Xiao Guifang had not seen her father since she was born, and the only chance for the father and daughter to meet in their lives was missed.
When Wang Erzhu returned to Wuhan, he found that his wife and children had returned to their hometown.
Hu Zhenrong, president of the Institute of Party History of the Hunan Provincial CPC Committee: In fact, the difference is only a few days, and at this time, Wang Erzhuo was very guilty about his wife and children, so he wrote a letter to his parents with a pen, which is also known as the "Letter of Entrustment.".
Wang Erzhu rushed from Wuhan to Nanchang, participated in the Nanchang Uprising and the Shonan Uprising, followed Zhu De and Chen Yi to Jinggangshan, successively served as chief of staff of the 1st Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army and chief of staff of the Red Fourth Army, and became the youngest chief of staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
On August 25, 1928, when Wang Erzhuo was pursuing traitors in Sishunwei, Chongyi County, Jiangxi Province, he died heroically at the age of 25.
At the memorial service for the martyr Wang Erzhuo, Mao Zedong personally drafted a lineage of inheritance: "One cry Erzhuo, two cry Erzhuo, Erzhuo is now gone, but who will bear the heavy responsibility?" Born as a class, died as a class, how about after class? Get the winner' side! ”
After Wang Erzhuo's sacrifice, Zheng Fengcui raised her daughter alone, but the only daughter died of illness when she was twenty years old with the regret of never seeing her father in her life.
The 80-year-old man is also a descendant of the Red Army. Under the inspiration of Wang Erzhuo, he has silently guarded the martyrs' cemetery for more than thirty years.
