In 1921, the first national congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Shanghai, and according to the requirements, the Communist Party groups in each of the six regions of the country sent two representatives to the meeting. The main leader of the Hunan region was Mao Zedong, and because of the risks of going to Shanghai, most of the members of the Hunan Communist Group at that time were younger. Therefore, Mao Zedong chose He Shuheng, who has rich social experience, to participate in the meeting.
He Shuheng was a revolutionary predecessor in Hunan, although he was older and often dressed as an old and pedantic person in the late Qing Dynasty. But in fact, his thinking is very advanced, he actively explores the road to saving the country, and he is very kind to people. When Mao Zedong organized activities in Hunan, he often called him "He Beard"
Born in 1876, He Shuheng was 45 years old at the time, and he was also the oldest of the delegates to the big one.
Born in the late Qing Dynasty, He Shuheng received a complete traditional education and was admitted to Xiucai at the age of 26. Unfortunately, at that time, the Manchu Qing court was already terminally ill, and his career was no longer open for him. He Shuheng eventually became a poor talent, and then got married and had children, and his life was also poor.
But He Shuheng was different from other literati, and while reading the scriptures, he was also looking at the world with his eyes open. At that time, China was decaying and dark, with internal and external troubles, and the people were even more unhappy. Influenced by foreign ideas at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the culture of exploration to save the country, He Shuheng decided to learn a new culture and find a way to save the country and save the people.
In 1913, At the age of 37, He Shuheng was admitted to the Fourth Normal School in Hunan. It was also here that he met a young man with lofty ideals, Mao Zedong, and the two soon became friends.
In addition to learning new teaching methods, they often organize progressive teachers and students to gather together to talk about major state affairs and explore revolutionary ideas. What was most discussed at that time was the dark social status quo in China. And He Shuheng's situation at that time was very bad, the poor family only had his wife and daughter dependent on each other, he wanted to give his family a better life, but the society was too dark, even if he did everything he could, it was difficult to change his fate. In the vast china, there are thousands of families who are even more miserable than him.
When talking about this tragic scene, He Shuheng will think of himself and his family, and often hide his face and cry.
In 1935, He Shuheng unfortunately died, but the details and specific reasons for He Shuheng's sacrifice have always been a mystery. After his sacrifice, what was the fate of his wife and children?
In October 1934, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central Soviet Region decided to withdraw from Ruijin and implement a strategic transfer, and the main force of the Central Red Army and the central organs began a western expedition, known in history as the Long March.
However, due to the complexity of the actual situation, considering that some older comrades are physically weak, they may not be able to keep up with the large troops. Therefore, the Central Military Commission decided to let some comrades stay, persist in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and wait for the return of the main forces.
He Shuheng was one of the comrades who stayed, at that time He Shuheng was fifty-nine years old, nearly flowery, and his age was indeed not suitable for long-distance travel.
Dong Biwu was also close to fifty years old at the time, he Shuheng once asked him whether to stay or leave, Dong Biwu felt that his body was OK, so he decided to follow the long march of the troops. With their experience and experience, this parting may never be seen again, and sacrifice is inevitable on the road of revolution.
Immediately after the Red Army left Ruijin, Chiang Kai-shek's army invaded Ruijin, where they burned and plundered and implemented a scorched earth policy. Many of the comrades who had lurked were arrested, the remaining comrades were engaged in arduous guerrilla warfare deep in the mountains, and many revolutionary masses were killed.
In order to vent their anger, the Kuomintang army even set fire to Ruijin City, which was no different from that of beasts. He Shuheng led a small army to sneak into the mountains in advance and continue to negotiate with the enemy.
He Lao dragged his elderly body into a brutal battle with his brutal enemy, and what supported him was his faith and firm confidence in the revolution.
He Shuheng, Qu Qiubai, and others led the guerrillas to travel around with the enemy. Because the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great, and the enemy has sown a net everywhere, guerrilla warfare has been carried out with extreme difficulty. They can't stay in a fixed place for a long time, and they can't fix it.
Weapons, ammunition, food supplies, and even clothing were difficult to replenish, but even in this case, the guerrilla fighting never stopped. The enemy is also trying to find ways to encircle and intercept them.
In February 1935, He Shuheng led a group to move to a town in Shanghang County, but unexpectedly encountered a local security regiment, and a fierce exchange of fire between the two sides occurred.
Our numbers were limited, and in order to prevent being surrounded by the enemy, after a brief exchange of fire, He Shuheng retreated with the team. Although He Shuheng was already a sixty-year-old man, he had been following behind the team.
But the enemy was in hot pursuit behind him, and the number of people was increasing, the gunfire became denser and denser, and the distance became smaller and smaller. When they retreated to a cliff, He Shuheng felt a little weak, and he asked the guard Deng Zi to return to him with a shot to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy.
Deng Zihui disagreed and decided to go behind his back, and Uncle He Heng saw that he had caused drag on everyone and said that he would not leave. Taking advantage of Deng Zihui's lack of attention, he jumped and jumped off the cliff. Deng Zihui and the others lay on the cliff and shouted for a long time, but they never heard an echo again. Everyone thinks why Shu Heng jumped off a cliff and sacrificed his life for the cause of the revolution.
According to Deng Zihui's recollection, in the ccp's historical record, He Shuheng's cause of death was suicide, but Deng Zihui also admitted that he only saw He Shuheng jump off a cliff, but did not see his body with his own eyes.
In 1962, by chance, the real reason for He Shuheng's sacrifice was found.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our public security department has been investigating the counter-revolutionaries who persecuted our Party in those years. Among them, Li Yu, a member of the former security regiment in Shanghang County, was captured in 1962. After interrogation, Li Yu confessed to the pursuit of a Red Army group in the Shanghang County area in 1935.
According to Li Yu's confession, while patrolling that night, their security regiment encountered more than a dozen armed men, who were ragged and looked tired. As soon as they met with the security regiment, they directly started fighting, and later this group of people retreated while fighting and fled into the mountains.
The security regiment in Shanghang County at that time was quite numerous, and when they heard the gunshots, their men rushed from all directions and then followed the guerrillas into the mountains.
Li Yu said that at that time, there was an old man of about fifty or sixty years old in the guerrilla group, with a beard, looking like an official, and there were people supporting him when he fled, and this person should be He Shuheng.
Later, the guerrillas hid in the mountain, and the security regiment immediately began to search the mountain, Li Yu led two people to search under the mountain, and inadvertently they found a person under the cliff. This person was He Shuheng, who had jumped off a cliff, and when Li Yu found him, he was covered in wounds and his face was covered in blood.
Li Yu's first reaction was that this person had fallen to his death, and when they began to search He Shuheng's body, He Shuheng miraculously woke up. And his consciousness was very clear, and when he woke up, he immediately clutched Li Yu's leg and wanted to fight with him.
Li Yu was startled, but no matter how he kicked and hit He Shuheng, he just wouldn't let go, and then Li Yu's entourage fired two shots in the back. But at that time, Li Yu did not know that they were killing He Shuheng, one of the founders of the CCP.
Only then did the truth of Elder He's sacrifice come to light, and it had been exactly twenty-seven spring and autumn since his sacrifice.
After He Shuheng's sacrifice, due to the severe white terror in the Guotong Area, Deng Zihui also traveled to many places and returned to the team after a long time. The news of He Lao's sacrifice, for the sake of safety, was not notified to his family.
He Lao's wife is named Yuan Shao'e, and after she married He Shuheng, she has been at home to marry her husband and children, and although her life is poor, the relationship between the husband and wife is very good. Yuan Shao'e is a traditional Chinese woman, and as long as she has a mouthful to eat, she is very content.
Yuan Shao'e does not know how to complain about social injustice, nor does she know about major state affairs, she only knows that her husband is a person who has read books and has culture, and she is very proud of it. He Shuheng later passed the Xiucai examination, which was a great joy in the countryside.
After He Shuheng got married, for a long time at home, he worked as a farmer while teaching to subsidize the family. If it weren't for the fact that He Shuheng had a heart that was not willing to be ordinary, perhaps their family would have lived a plain life. And there will be one less humorous and elegant elder in the ccp's big venue!
He Shuheng received a traditional education, although his heart was eager to accept new ideas, but at that time he was powerless to rebel against his fate, and could only accept arranged marriages. But he was also fortunate because his wife was very industrious and virtuous, and although she had no culture, she was very supportive of his ideas and thought that his choice was right.
Many years later, He Shuheng, who was already close to the age of confusion, decided to go to Changsha to apply for the normal examination and go to university at this age, not just for the sake of making a living, but for the sake of revolution, in order to explore the way to save the country and save the people.
Although at this time He Shuheng was the top pillar of the family, there were old and young at the bottom. But Yuan Shao'e still supported her husband as always, she just repeatedly told him to pay attention to safety outside before he left, write letters in time to ensure safety, and go home when he was free...
When He Shuheng was doing revolutions outside, he would often think of his wife, and sometimes even silently shed tears.
However, in Yuan Shao'e's heart, there was a great guilt for He Shuheng and for this family. Because she was unable to pass on the incense to the family.
Yuan Shao'e once gave birth to two sons, but unfortunately, both of them died prematurely. Later, Yuan Shao'e gave birth to three daughters in succession.
This situation in the traditional feudal society is a big filial piety, the so-called filial piety has three, no after the great. The He family's parents, including the He clan in the village, looked at Yuan Shao'e and her three daughters coldly.
Yuan Shao'e herself felt guilty, but she didn't have any way, she couldn't have any more children when she was older, and she could only suffer grievances silently.
The parents of the He family insisted that He Shuheng take a concubine, and the He family continued the incense. He Shuheng hated this feudal poison the most in his heart, he resolutely refused to take a concubine, and publicly stated to everyone that he had a wife in his life, and his three daughters were the heirs of the He family.
However, in order to ease the conflict with his parents and the He family, He Shuheng still adopted an adopted son of the same clan, his name was He Xinjiu.
He Shuheng's image is a stereotypical talent, but his heart is fiery, and he has contributed almost all his love to his wife, daughter and adopted son.
He Shuheng not only takes good care of his wife and children in his life, but also attaches great importance to the education of his children. Even later, when I studied in Moscow, I was still worried about my children's studies, and I wrote long letters many times to encourage them to study hard.
Under his education, He Shuheng's children also lived up to expectations and made extraordinary achievements.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, and the streets and alleys were plastered with rewards and arrest warrants for the arrest of Communists. He Shuheng was a chinese communist elder and had an extremely prominent image, and soon the arrest warrant reached his hometown.
Yuan Shao'e is a rural woman who usually only knows how to take care of housework, and where has she seen such a world. But she knew that her husband was a revolutionary, a Communist Party. Now the bandit-like soldiers are about to arrest their old man, and the family will surely suffer.
In desperation, she had to hide in the mountains with her children, and only then did she sneak back home when the wind passed. But even so, she still supported her husband and still taught her children to follow their father's example and seek happiness for the poor.
Yuan Shao'e often leaned on the doorstep of her home, looking forward to her husband's return, but she did not expect that He Shuheng would never come back after he left.
In fact, after He Shuheng's sacrifice, the party organization tried every means to find He Shuheng's family, got in touch with his children, and told them about He Shuheng's sacrifice.
However, the children are worried that their mother will not be able to accept this fact, she has been waiting for her father to come home, and with this hope, she still has a support in her heart. If there is no such hope, I am afraid that she will not be able to support it. Therefore, the news of He Shuheng's sacrifice has been hidden from her.
With the help of the party organization, He Shuheng's second and third daughters also joined the army to continue the revolutionary work. In Yuan Shao'e's life, the party organization also secretly gave a lot of help.
As she grew older, Yuan Shao'e's body aged day by day, but she still often leaned on the door, waiting for her husband to return.
In 1957, Yuan Shao'e became seriously ill. Both her son and daughter rushed home to take care of her, and before she died, she told her children that she hoped to be buried with her husband. Maybe she already knew that her husband would never come back, but she was still waiting for him with that little thought.
In the end, Yuan Shao'e died of illness accompanied by her children at the age of 83.
He Shuheng has three daughters and an adopted son, and he spent a long time at home after he got married, and during this time he spent a lot of energy on the education of his children.
Although He Shuheng was a traditional literati who grew up reading the poetry of the sages and had also passed the Xiucai examination, he already hated this decadent feudal society in his heart.
He had not yet begun the revolution, but the seeds of the revolution had already been planted in his own home. When He Shuheng was at home, he not only taught the children to read and write, but also told them about many major events in society. Teach them to learn new knowledge, to be exposed to new ideas, and to break the feudal shackles.
Although the Qing Dynasty has perished, many feudal habits have not yet been eradicated, and Chinese women at that time generally had to tie their feet. It is a distorted aesthetic and is extremely harmful to the woman's body and mind.
He Shuheng despised this behavior from the bottom of his heart, and through his wife he learned that foot binding was a very painful experience. Girls also have to endure this torture for many years.
He Shuheng and Yuan Shao'e gave birth to three daughters, and jointly raised an adopted son, and when he was admitted to the Fourth Normal School in Hunan, everything in the family fell on Yuan Shao'e's shoulders. Due to the heavy workload of revolutionary work, He Shuheng's visits to his home were also becoming less and less frequent, and his time was getting shorter and shorter.
However, the three daughters and one son of the He family have grown up and made many contributions to the family, not living up to the high expectations of their father He Shuheng.
He Shiyi, the eldest daughter of the He family, has always been by her mother's side, and as the eldest child in the family, she is the most sensible and can also understand her mother's hardships. Therefore, she can help her mother to do some housework early, her personality is very generous and down-to-earth, similar to her mother, there is not much extravagance, only hope that she and her relatives can live in peace and security.
Even if life is more difficult, she is willing and has no complaints. His father was not at home, his mother was getting older, and his body was getting worse every day, and He Shiyi did not dare to stay away from his mother. Later, she married a hard-working and simple young man in the same village, and has been living by her mother's side, and can return to her mother's house at any time to take care of her.
The second and third daughters have more lively personalities, and they are most like their fathers, with some rebellious spirit, and they do not like to be bound by various rules since childhood.
Especially the third daughter He Shisi, the father also cares for this young daughter. I remember that when the younger daughter was born, the entire He family was not happy, because Yuan Shao'e was already thirty-five years old at that time. Giving birth to a third daughter is already a very risky thing, but it is still a daughter.
In that social environment at that time, not having a son was equivalent to breaking the incense, which was a great rebellion. But He Shuheng did not think so, as a father, he liked and loved his children in his heart, and this youngest daughter was born as the meat of his heart.
He told everyone that whether male or female, they were his children and the heirs of the He family.
To this end, he also named his third daughter: He Shisi. This is clearly the name of a boy, and this also shows that in He Shuheng's eyes, boys and girls are the same. In that era, this kind of ideology was very advanced, and it was even difficult to be accepted by the people around them.
Later, the daughters grew up and went to school, when the Manchu Qing dynasty had collapsed, but China was still in a state of chaos. There has been no thorough reform in education, and although new teaching materials have been used in schools, teachers have taught some crap such as feudal etiquette.
He Shisi, who was influenced by his father since childhood, was very disgusted with these things taught by his teachers, why are women worse than men, why must they listen to men, why can't they make their own decisions?
He Shisi innocently and stubbornly asked back, annoying the old gentleman on the podium, and had never seen a student dare to question him in this way, dare to doubt the sages.
The angry teacher called He Shuheng to the school and trained the He family's father and daughter together. But He Shuheng believes that his daughter is not only not wrong, but also has a very correct point of view, and dares to resist authority and does a very good job.
At this point, the teacher was angry and shouted that he Shisi must be expelled, but He Shuheng continued to transmit advanced ideas and revolutionary principles to his daughters.
Later, He Shuheng did revolutionary work, traveling from east to west for many years, and watching the revolutionary cause continue to grow, he was very proud in his heart. Since tens of thousands of young people with lofty ideals are throwing themselves into the revolution, how can they be willing to let their children live in mediocrity in the countryside for a lifetime?
When the second and third elders of the He family reached adulthood, He Shuheng returned home, at this time the eldest daughter He Shiyi was married, and she had to stay with her mother to take care of her, and it was inconvenient to go out.
His adopted son, He Xinjiu, is still young and needs to stay with his mother, so He Shuheng decided to take his second and third elders out to participate in revolutionary work, so that they can see the new world outside and become the heirs of their own revolutionary cause in the future.
Yuan Shao'e is reluctant to accompany her daughters for many years, but she understands her husband and knows that her husband's choice is right and that he is the one who does great things.
In the end, she reluctantly bid farewell to her daughters, and she also expressed her guilt to He Shuheng many times, if she could give you two more sons, she could help you a lot.
He Shuheng did not care, in his eyes, his two daughters were much stronger than other boys. Although they have not received too much education, the ideas in their minds are advanced, and the revolutionary spirit in them is even more precious.
Following He Shuheng, the second daughter He Shishan, and the third daughter He Shisi came to Shanghai, at this time the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had broken down, and the revolutionary work in Shanghai went underground.
He Shuheng led them to the road of revolution, exposing them to real revolutionary ideas and revolutionary truths. In their work, they broadened their horizons, increased their insights, understood their father's great ideals, and strengthened their revolutionary convictions. Father has always been the noblest hero in their hearts.
In the revolutionary work, they also harvested their own revolutionary love, and the second daughter and Xia Zhibing, secretary of the Xiangnan Special Committee of the CPC, formed a revolutionary couple and supported each other in the common revolution.
After he returned from studying in the Soviet Union, He Shuheng was responsible for presiding over the work of the Shanghai Mutual Masonic Association. Accordingly, the two daughters were assigned to work in a printing house under the Mutual Masonic Association.
At that time, the underground work in Shanghai was very dangerous, and a large number of police and agents were everywhere searching for the ccp's underground party. Because the printing plant has large equipment and paper, ink and other mass production materials, it is inconvenient to transfer frequently, so the production workshop is selected in a very private place.
Even so, after a long time, there will always be some wind and noise revealed, and the agents with a keen sense of smell finally found out about the underground printing plant, and immediately led people to destroy the place, and arrested all the people present.
Xia Zhibing and the He family sisters were arrested together and put in prison.
Organizational raids on the enemy have long been planned, and although they are underground printing factories in our party, not all of them are members of our party. Sometimes temporary workers are also hired for packing or shipping jobs, who are often illiterate and are only responsible for some peripheral work.
Therefore, the He family sisters pretended to be temporary workers here, responsible for packing books, and no one inside knew them. When the enemy asked them why they didn't report it, they lied that they were illiterate and didn't know what was printed on it.
The doubts of the He family sisters were not prominent and were not taken seriously, but Xia Zhibing was different. As the secretary of the Shonan Special Committee, he had long been included in the blacklist of secret agents.
Xia Zhibing's identity was soon discovered by the secret agents and he was severely tortured, and Xia Zhibing was unyielding in prison and never revealed any secrets of our party. Eventually, he was killed by agents in prison.
After the destruction of the printing house, the higher party organization was ready to start the rescue operation. At this time, He Shuheng asked the comrades of the rescue team to wait and then act.
Others are very confused, their daughters have been arrested, at this time, how can they still sit still. He Shuheng sighed and explained, how can I not worry about the safety of my daughter, I am also anxious.
But since they have taken part in revolutionary work, they must be responsible for the revolution and loyal to the Party. At present, it is not clear whether they have betrayed the secrets of our Party in it, and they cannot act without authorization, otherwise they will cause huge losses to the work of our Party.
In accordance with He Shuheng's opinion, the comrades of the rescue group suspended the rescue and inquired about the situation in prison first. Two months had passed, and the He family sisters had also been tortured in prison.
Through the inquiry of our comrades lurking inside, it was learned that the He family sisters had never been exposed in prison, nor had they leaked our party secrets, and because of their better disguise, the enemy basically ruled out their suspicions.
After He Shuheng heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the rescue team to start action. Since the He sisters no longer had much interrogation value, the agents transferred them to ordinary cells, and later the comrades of the rescue team paid bail for them as family members. The He sisters were soon released from prison.
Looking at the two daughters who were tortured to the point of no longer looking like adults, He Shuheng could no longer hold back his tears and took his daughter into his arms, and the father and daughter three held their heads and cried.
He Shishan's husband heroically sacrificed his life for the revolution and was a hero of the people, and He Shishan did not become passive because of this, but strengthened his revolutionary will even more, and continued to struggle to inherit the revolutionary cause of his father and husband.
Later, He Shishan was arranged by the organization to study in the Soviet Union, and the third daughter and her husband continued to engage in revolutionary work in various places. After He Shuheng left Shanghai, he worked in the Central Soviet District, and after the Long March began, the contact between father and daughter was broken.
In 1937, He Shishan graduated and returned to China, and she was arranged to work in Yan'an. After arriving in Yan'an, the first thing she did was to look for her father, who had been separated for a long time, but she couldn't find it.
Dong Biwu found He Shishan and told her that her father had sacrificed himself two years ago for the revolution...
In 1939, the third daughter He Shisi also came to Yan'an, and it was only at this time that she learned from her second sister that her father had died, and the two sisters cried bitterly.
The two sisters inherited their father's legacy and moved forward firmly on the road of revolution. The third daughter, He Shisi, had no choice but to send her young son to an orphanage during a transfer, and later due to the turmoil, she never found her son. In 1937, his second son also died of illness and could not be taken care of.
The Ho family made great sacrifices for the revolution.
Due to the sacrifice of He Shuheng and the dangerous revolutionary work of her two daughters, the two sisters decided to let the fourth brother, He Xinjiu, stay at home to take care of their mother.
Although He Xinjiu is an adopted son, He Shuheng and his wife treat him as if they were their own, and He Xinjiu has always regarded them as his own biological parents. He Xinjiu remembered his father's teachings, and the poor were left alone, although He Shuheng was later named a martyr, and the local government also converted the old residence of the He family into the former residence of He Shuheng for a visit. Naturally, the He family became a revolutionary family.
But He Xinjiu has always lived his life in his own right, and has not asked for special care because his adoptive father is a revolutionary martyr and the founder of the Communist Party. He provided for his mother's pension and filial piety in front of the bed from beginning to end.
And his descendants were also industrious and dutiful, and later became ordinary peasants and workers, and like the masses, they were never special. Sometimes, He Xinjiu and He Shiyi would also take their children and grandchildren to the old mansion to have a look and tell them how their father, He Shuheng, had educated them and embarked on the revolutionary road.
Mr. He Shuheng's family, with their own lives and practices, explained what a true communist is and contributed everything to the party and the nation!
I am the Phantom of Shi Hai, and I am following me to praise history.
