The Letter with His Wife is a letter written by the revolutionary Lin Juemin to his wife Chen Yiying on the evening of April 24, 1911, also known as the family letter, during the Xinhai Revolution. I remember the first time I read it, I was deeply moved by its deep affection, love, deep reluctance to his wife, and the firm revolutionary will, and the spirit of heroic death. Reading it again is even more poignant and touching, that kind of admiration, regret, sadness, and anger, spontaneously, moving!
More than 100 years ago, the country will not be a country, and countless benevolent people and men will try to turn the tide of the tide, help the building to fall, regard death as a homecoming, and go to the country together. Lin Juemin, one of the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang, is such a pure son who interprets the feelings of home and country to the extreme.
Lin Juemin is Lin Huiyin's cousin, a native of Fuzhou, who has been reading poetry since he was a child, but has no intention of making a name for himself, and when he participated in the imperial examination, he wrote a few words on the examination paper, "Teenagers do not expect ten thousand households", and left the examination room with his head held high. Later, he went to Japan to study, pursuing equality, freedom and democratic revolution.
In the spring of 1911, after the 24-year-old Lin Juemin returned to China, he secretly planned to launch the Huanghuagang Uprising without his parents and wife, and his clan relatives Lin Yimin, Huang Xing and others. He was well aware of the evil and the lack of good fortune, so he wrote two letters late at night, "The Book of the Father" and the "Letter with Wife".
On April 27, Lin Juemin, along with Huang Xing and others, invaded the governor of Guangzhou, Yamen, encountered Qing soldiers and horses, and engaged in a fierce street battle, Lin Juemin was wounded and captured. At his trial, he was impassioned, saying: "As long as tyranny is abolished and a republic is established, and the country is security and strong, death will be blind." "Shot a few days later, heroic and righteous.
Lin Juemin's "Letter with His Wife" was written with blood and tears, and it is still tearful to read, his deep affection for his wife, his worries about the fate of the country and the people, and pouring out with a euphemistic and moving pen, which is deeply moving.
Lin Juemin's wife Chen Yiying was born in a family of books, from a young age, he liked poetry and poetry, and also wrote a volume of character poems of "Dream of the Red Chamber", in 1905, after the 18-year-old Lin Juemin and 17-year-old Chen Yiying got married, the two lived in the amphibious building, and the front of the building was planted with banana plums.
Chen Yiying supported her husband's revolutionary activities and once said: "If the king has a long journey after that, he will tell his wife and be willing to accompany him." When Lin Juemin participated in the Huanghuagang Uprising, Chen Yiying was pregnant with a child, and when she saw her husband's letter, she was sad that her child was prematurely born, and her heart was like ashes.
Their feelings are touching, and their fists and patriotism have inspired countless future generations! The Slovaks have passed away, and my generation can only remember the feelings and move forward courageously.
Let's take a look at why the Book of The Wife has become a masterpiece that has been recited by many people and brought tears to the eyes.
The original text of the work and the wife's letter means to reflect Qingqing Ruhui 1: I am now saying goodbye to Ru Yong with this book! When I wrote this book, I was still a man in the world; when I read this book, I had become a ghost in Hades. When I wrote this book, the teardrops and the pen and ink went down together, and I could not write the book and wanted to put the pen down 2, and I was afraid that Ru would not detect my heart 3, saying that I would endure Ru and die, saying that I did not know that Ru did not want me to die, so I endured sorrow as Ru said. I love Ru 4, that is, this love Ru is a thought, so that I dare to die. Since I met Ru, I have often wished that all lovers in the world would become dependents; but there are fishy clouds everywhere, full of wolf dogs in the streets, and I am happy, how many can I be 5? Sima Qingyi 6, I can't learn too much about forgetting love also 7. Yun Yun: Benevolent "The old man is old, and the old man is old; the young man is young, and the young man is 8". I am full of my heart for Ru, helping the people of the world to love what they love, so I dare to die first, regardless of Ruye. Ru Ti my heart, in addition to crying, also think of the people of the world, when Yi Le sacrifices the welfare of my body and the body of Ru, for the people of the world to seek eternal happiness. Don't be sad! Ru yi no? Four or five years ago, one night, I tasted the words: "And make me die first, and No Ning Ru died before me 9." "Ru was angry at first, but after I gently explained, although I did not say that I was right, I did not have any words to answer. I mean that if You are weak, you will not be able to forbid the loss of my sorrow 10, I will die first, leaving suffering and Ru, I can't bear it, so I would rather ask Ru to die first, and I bear sorrow. Woohoo! Who knows if I died before I died? I really can't forget Ruya! Remember the house of the back street, the entrance through the corridor, through the front and back halls, and three or four folds, there is a small hall, a room next to the hall, for me and Ru to live together. Three or four months after the first marriage, 11 before and after the winter's hope, 12 moon shadows outside the window, vaguely hidden 13; I and the side of hand, low cut 14, why not say anything? Why not sue? And now that I think about it, there are empty tear stains. I also recalled that six or seven years ago, when I had escaped from home and returned to my home, Ru wept and told me: "I hope that there will be a long journey in the future, and I will tell my concubines, and my concubines will accompany the king." "I have also promised Youyi. More than ten days before returning home, that is, wanting to take advantage of this deed to speak Ru, and opposite Ru, and unable to open his mouth, and with Ru's body 15, he was even more afraid of sorrow, so he cried out for wine and drunk every day. Woohoo! At that time, the sorrow of the rest of the heart, Cover can not be described in inches 16. I sincerely wish to die with Ru, the first is today's situation no. 17, natural disasters can die, thieves can die, melons can die on the day of division, traitors and corrupt officials can die, my generation is in today's China, the country has no land and can not die at all times. When that time comes, will I be able to see Ru die, or if I will see ru die? Or 18? That is, not to die, and to disperse without seeing each other, to make the eyes of the two places wear and bone fossils 19, how many ancient people have seen the broken mirror can be reunited 20? Then it is better to die than to suffer, what will it be? Today I and Ru Yuki are both healthy. The people of the world should not die and those who do not want to leave, can not be counted, those who love like my generation, can bear it? This is why I dare to die recklessly and ignore Ruye. I have no regrets in my death today, and the success of state affairs is not the presence of my own comrades. Yi Xin is five years old and 21 years old, and in the blink of an eye, he is an adult, and Ru Qi caresses him well, making him look like me. What is in the womb of Ru, I doubt her daughter, and the woman will be like Ru, and my heart is very comforted. Or if he is a man, he is also taught to take his father's aspirations as his aspirations, and then after my death, there are still two meanings in the cave 22. Lucky, lucky! My family will be very poor in the future, poor and suffering, and live a quiet life. I am speechless with You. I dwell under the Nine Springs and hear ru crying, when crying xiang and also. I usually do not believe in ghosts, but now I hope that there really is. Now it is man who says that there is a way of telepathy 23, and I also hope that what I say is true, then my death, my spirit is still yiyi Ru ye 24, Ru does not have to be sad. In my lifetime, I have never tasted the words of Ru that I have not spoken, but I am afraid that Ru will worry about me day by day. I sacrificed a hundred deaths without resignation, and it was not for me to bear it if I worried you.25 I love Ruzhi, so I am afraid that I will not finish it for the sake of Ruzhi.26 Ru fortunately and even I am 27, and what an unfortunate birth in today's China! I am fortunate to be ru, and what misfortune was born in today's China! The pawn could not bear to be alone. Woohoo! The scarf is short and long 28, and there are still thousands of unfinished ones, and Ru can simulate 29. I can't see you now! Ru can't give up on me, and always get me in my dreams? A mourning. Xin Wei March 26 Night Four Drums 30, Yidong Handwriting. All the mothers in the family have a common text 31, there is no solution, I hope to ask for advice, when I do my best to be fortunate.

I love you very much, and this idea of loving you has prompted me to die bravely.

"You were very angry when you first heard this, and after my euphemistic explanation, although you did not say that I was right, you had nothing to answer. I mean, with your thin body, you must not be able to withstand the grief of losing me, I die first, leave the pain to you, I can't bear it in my heart, so I'd rather hope that you die first, let me bear the grief. alas! Who knew I would die before you after all? I can't forget you!" Remembering our home in the backstreet, entering the gate, going through the corridor, passing the front hall and the back hall, turning three or four more turns, there is a small hall, there is a room next to the small hall, that is where I live with you. Just three or four months after marriage, just in time for the fifteenth day of the winter month, the sparse plum branches outside the window screened the moon shadow to cover the background; I and you hand in hand, whispering, what not to say? What feelings do not pour out? Looking back on the scene now, only tear marks remain. I also recalled that six or seven years ago, when I ran away with my family on my back and came home, you whispered to me: "I hope to go far away in the future, I must tell me about this, I am willing to go with you." "I've promised you too. When I came home a dozen days ago, I wanted to tell you about this long trip by the way, and when I faced you, I couldn't open my mouth, and because you were pregnant, I was afraid that you couldn't bear the sadness, so I only wanted to drink every day to get drunk. alas! At that time, the grief in my heart could not be described in pen and ink. I am indeed willing to rely on you for my life until I die of old age, but according to the current situation, natural disasters can make people die, thieves can make people die, great powers can make people die when they divide China, corrupt officials and corrupt officials can make people die when they abuse the people.

Our family's life in the future should be very poor, but there is no pain in poverty, and it is just a quiet life. I don't have much more to say to you now. I hear your cry far below the Nine Springs, and I should echo it with my cry. I usually didn't believe in ghosts, but now I wish it did.

All the aunts and uncles in the family are familiar with the text, and there are some things they don't understand, and I hope to ask them for advice. Be sure to fully understand what I mean, that's my last hope. [2]
Background In 1911, Lin Juemin was sent back to Fujian by the 14th Branch of the League to contact the revolutionaries, raise funds, and recruit volunteers to participate in the uprising in Guangzhou. Reluctantly bid farewell to his family, he led the first group of righteous soldiers to board a ship from Mawei Port to Hong Kong. On April 24, three days before the Guangzhou Uprising ( also known as the Huanghuagang Uprising ) , Lin Juemin and his comrades-in-arms stayed with his comrades in the Riverside Building in Hong Kong. After his comrades fell asleep, he thought of his weak wife, Zizi, and although his marriage with his wife was arranged by his parents, the two had a deep affection, Qinse and Ming. Uncertain about the imminent life and death, Lin Juemin wrote this final family letter to his wife Chen Yiying on a white square scarf. At the same time as writing "Letter with Wife", Lin Juemin also wrote a letter of less than 40 words to his uncle, Mr. Lin Xiaoying. After the failure of the uprising, someone secretly stuffed these two letters into the crack in the door of Lin Juemin's house in the middle of the night, and the family found these two letters early the next morning. [3]【4】
After Lin Juemin's sacrifice, his wife Chen Yiying died of depression, only 22 years old, leaving the premature baby only 2 years old
Disheartened, depressed and finally the real Chen Yiying actually went with her husband when she received the news of Lin Juemin's death. Although her husband never told her about his ongoing revolutionary activities, after returning from Japan, he always used drunken amusement to hide his true intentions. But as clever as she was, she had long known about his strange behavior.
A few days ago, he also said to her husband, "If you have a long journey in the future, you will tell your wife and be willing to go with you." But Lin Juemin finally did not understand his wife's bitter heart. Therefore, when she finished reading the letter brought back by her husband's trustee with trembling, she was already convinced that her husband Lin Juemin would never come back, and that he had already sacrificed.
How cruel is it that you can leave your beloved wife and children and resolutely die. But Chen Yiying did not complain about him, she knew that what Lin Juemin had in his heart was a great love for the world, and the small love of his children's private feelings could not trap his ideals. Wasn't that what he admired at the beginning?
However, the person who is left behind is the most painful, and she will never see her lover again in this life, and she will always be trapped in endless thoughts. At this time, Chen Yiying still had an unborn child in her belly, but she was disheartened and only wanted to reunite with her husband as soon as possible, even if the reunion was at the cost of her life.
Chen Yiying finally stopped crying, if death can be exchanged for husband and wife reunion, then death for her is also a great salvation. Pregnant with Liujia, she rushed towards the opposite wall, hoping that this collision would be able to be relieved.
Fortunately, the father-in-law next to her pulled her and avoided this tragedy. The mother-in-law both knelt in front of Chen Yiying, only begging her to live well for herself and the child in her belly. The white-haired people sending the black-haired people is a heart-rending pain, and they don't want to let their daughter-in-law die anymore.
In the face of the old in-laws' bitter pleading, Chen Yiying regained some sobriety. The upbringing she had cultivated over the years had disturbed her. In the face of Lin Juemin's sudden death, she was not the only one who was sad. How could she be so selfish as to leave them and go with her husband? Bending down to support her in-laws, Chen Yiying's tears fell like rain, and she promised them that they would not seek death again.
After that, the family had to escape the Qing government's pursuit and live a life of upheaval and displacement. And losing her husband, she seems to have been pulled out of her soul, and she is suffering for a long time. Although after this, Chen Yiying did not mention the word "death", but the huge sadness will also kill people invisibly.
Perhaps it was the exhausting life of fleeing that affected Chen Yiying's physical condition, or it was excessive grief, less than a month after Lin Juemin's death, Chen Yiying had already given birth to his second son, Lin Zhongxin.
Premature birth injured, growing up Lin Zhongxin and resemblance to the deceased husband Lin Juemin. Chen Yiying faces his second son every day and remembers the loving life he and Lin Juemin once had. What was once sweet candy has now become a sharp blade, stinging Chen Yiying's heart day and night all the time. She even chafed that if she hadn't been so happy, her pain would be slightly less now.
The long-term depression and grief were suppressed in the heart, and a little bit of wear and tear on Chen Yiying's mind. When Lin Zhongxin was two years old, Chen Yiying finally died of depression. Before she died, she finally felt a little happiness again, if there was a soul in the world, then she could finally meet Lin Juemin. This year, Chen Yiying was only 22 years old.
Jiang Fangzhou once said: "Lin Juemin gave meaning to death, and he felt that it was more important than living." As the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang, he used his life to arouse more fighters and laid the foundation for the success of the later Wuchang Uprising. Before his death, the only person who could not rest assured was his wife Chen Yiying. Chen Yiying's death was a real tragedy. It is precisely because of the tragedy that I deeply regret, shock, admire, and pass on their poignant love story from generation to generation!
