"The Age of Awakening" brings back to us who lived in the era of happiness and peace, decades ago, the era when the revolutionary ancestors cut through the thorns for the future generations, the era when the revolutionary ancestors shed blood for the nation, and the era when the revolutionary ancestors sacrificed for their compatriots. To this day, Ye Shijun will never forget the scenes of Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian's sacrifice in "The Age of Awakening".
The two teenagers, with chains on their hands and feet, dressed in blood, and covered in blood, were still full of smiles in the face of the enemy, in the face of the imminent death. Because, they believe that their thorns and thorns will bring happiness to future generations and let future generations live a happy life.
Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian are the sons of Chen Duxiu, although they are the sons of celebrities, they do not enjoy the aura brought by their fathers, but because of their father's identity, their teenage years are extremely sad. Chen Duxiu had many marriages in his life, and the two brothers Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian were the children of him and his original match. Chen Duxiu's original wife, named Gao Xiaolan, was the daughter of Gao Dengke, the deputy commander of Anhui at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and Chen Duxiu could be regarded as a door-to-door pair, and it was a marriage contract at the top of the door.
After marriage, Chen Duxiu and Gao Xiaolan gave birth to 4 children, 3 sons and 1 daughter, namely: the eldest son Chen Yannian, the second son Chen Qiaonian, the third son Chen Songnian and the daughter Chen Yuying. In love and marriage, Chen Duxiu is not a good husband. He fell in love with Gao Xiaolan's half-sister Gao Junman and abandoned his wife Gao Xiaolan, even though Gao Xiaolan bore him 4 children.
Gao Xiaolan also had a hard life, married to a well-known big man, but did not live a good day, her favorite 4 children, even only one got a good death. The eldest son and the second son successively embarked on the path of revolution and eventually died. At the beginning, chen Yuying and Chen Songnian, who were far away from their hometown in Anhui, received the news of their brother Chen Yannian's sacrifice and immediately went to Shanghai to deal with the aftermath for their brother.
However, the poor sisters did not see Chen Yannian's corpse, and the two could only burn a few pillars of incense at the place where their brother sacrificed, and then returned to their hometown in Anhui. A year later, Chen Qiao Nian, the third of the 4 people, also died. After the younger brother Chen Songnian learned the news, he hid it from his family and forged the letter. However, this did not hide from Grandma, who asked Chen Yuying to go to Shanghai to find out.
Chen Yuying never came back after this trip. When she arrived in Shanghai, Chen Yuying learned that her brother Chen QiaoNian had also died, and under the grief, she was insane, fell ill, and eventually died at the age of 28. In this way, the four children, only Song Nian lived to the end, lived to 1990.
