On February 5, 1984, General Su Yu, who was fighting in the Southern Expedition to the North, died due to a sharp deterioration in his condition. After Su Yu's death, his wife Chu Qing, recalling the years of fighting and supporting each other with Su Yu, she could not hide her grief and wrote two poems. These two poems are filled with a wife's deepest thoughts about her husband.
So what are the contents of these two poems? What kind of feelings did Chu Qing and Su Yu have between them?
Su Yu and Chu Qing
The beginning of Su Yu and Chu Qing's love is inseparable from Su Yu's initiative. Chu Qing's original name was Zhan Yongzhu, and the experience of being protected by American priests when he was young made Chu Qing, who had always put reading first, suddenly understand: the country, the country, without the country, there is no home, only to drive out the Japanese devils and defend the country, this is the most important, more urgent than reading.
In November 1938, Chu Qing no longer had the heart to study. At this time, in Chu Qing's mind, there were only two words, "save the country." However, Chu Qing had been "unable to serve the country" until one time, when her classmates mentioned joining the New Fourth Army. At that time, Chu Qing had revealed to one of her classmates many times that she wanted to "save the country", and the classmates listened to it a lot and wrote it down.
New fourth army
One winter morning, this classmate suddenly found Chu Qing and said to her, "Today I want to send a friend to join the New Fourth Army." Chu Qing realized that joining the army was not a good way to "save the country"? So she asked her classmates, "Then can you take me with you?" ”
In Chu Qing's hopeful gaze, the classmate standing opposite her nodded firmly. Therefore, Chu Qing went home and secretly packed his luggage, did not tell his family, and embarked on the journey of the New Fourth Army with his classmates' friends. At this time, Chu Qing was full of expectations for participating in the New Fourth Army to save the country, and she would not know that she would meet the true love of a lifetime here.
Chu Qing
Chu Qing traveled all the way from his hometown to the guest house of the New Fourth Army. Chu Qing's excitement and excitement were indescribable, she fantasized that she could join the army, but she did not think that she was stuck in the first level of entering the New Fourth Army by the organization's introduction letter.
Because at that time, joining the army needed to have a letter of introduction, and those who did not have a letter of introduction would be rejected, and there were several enthusiastic young people in the guest house who were rejected because there was no letter of introduction. This upset Chu Qing, and she didn't want to be sent home. Just then, a female comrade with a letter of introduction came to the guest house of the New Fourth Army.
Chu Qing looked at the comrade holding the introduction letter, and with a clever move, he quietly stepped forward and whispered to the female comrade: "Comrade, I really want to join the army, but I don't have a letter of introduction, can you please add my name to the letter of introduction?" The female comrade looked at the dignified and atmospheric girl in front of her, and instantly felt good, so she replied very cheerfully: "Of course, it can be!" ”
Therefore, the 15-year-old Chu Qing joined the New Fourth Army in this way. After a period of training and study, in the early winter of 1939, Chu Qing was assigned to the secretariat of the Jiangnan Headquarters of the New Fourth Army as a stenographer. It was here that Chu Qing saw Su Yu.
Su Yu
At that time, Su Yu was serving as deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, and when he heard that several stenographers had come to the headquarters secretariat, he wanted to select a few cadets with both ability and political integrity to work in the organs. As soon as Su Yu entered the door, he saw a female student with a good face, sitting at a desk writing with a brush. Su Yu was deeply attracted by the calm temperament of the female trainees. And the female practitioner who attracted Su Yu's attention was none other than Chu Qing.
Because Chu Qing was so unsentimental in writing brush writing, he didn't even know that someone had come in. Until others reminded him, Chu Qing hurriedly put down the brush and looked up at Su Yu. At that time, Su Yu was wearing a washed white military uniform, looking at Chu Qing with a smile, Chu Qing was embarrassed, so he blushed and quickly explained to Su Yu that he was too fascinated to notice him. Su Yu did not blame Chu Qing, but was very optimistic about Chu Qing's undistracted attitude.
Afterwards, the person in charge introduced Chu Qing to Su Yu, saying that her name was Zhan Yongzhu (not yet renamed Chu Qing at this time), a Yangzhou native... After understanding Chu Qing's situation, Su Yu found her and had an in-depth conversation with her. In the process of conversation, Su Yu found that although at first, the little girl was still a little nervous, but soon she adapted, answering the questions with clear thinking, orderly, and tone of voice, full of enthusiasm. All of this deepened Su Yu's good feelings for Chu Qing.
Since then, in addition to the military combat command, Su Yu's mind has also had a figure of Chu Qing.
After joining the New Fourth Army, in order to avoid his family being implicated, Chu Qing decided to change his name and surname. But she thought about it for a long time, and she didn't think of a good name. Su Yu paid much attention to Chu Qing because of his admiration for her. After Su Yu learned of Chu Qing's distress, he took out a piece of paper with one or twenty surnames written on it and gave it to Chu Qingxuan.
Chu Qing saw that Su Yu gave her advice and treated it more highly, she looked at the surname on the paper and picked it up. Originally, Chu Qing wanted to use the surname of "Wang" or the surname of "Li", but on second thought, these two surnames were also used by more people, so he gave up. After looking for a while, Chu Qing saw the word "Chu", considering that there were not many people using it, plus it was easy to read, so he chose the word "Chu".
Su Yu looked at it, although he knew that Chu Qing had simply chosen this surname, Su Yu's heart still couldn't help but feel sweet. He couldn't help but open his mouth and say to Chu Qing: "Xiao Zhan, you have been deceived, my hometown hunan belongs to the Chu state, and you will be a person from our hometown from now on." ”
Chu Qing also did not think that Su Yu would like himself, so he did not think about that aspect, but only felt that Su Yu was a very humorous person. In fact, Chu Qing's impression of Su Yu had always been very good. In Chu Qing's view, although Deputy Commander Su Yu was strict with his subordinates, he was kind to others.
At that time, everyone basically lived in an ancestral hall. Su Yu lived in the small attic of the ancestral hall, and Chu Qing and several other female soldiers lived under the attic together. At that time, the battle ahead was very tight, so Su Yu was very busy, sometimes busy, and would forget to eat.
The guards were worried about Su Yu's body, but they also knew that they could not disturb him. Therefore, the guards would prepare some small biscuits for Su Yu in the evening, just in case of emergency. However, Chu Qing and others did not know. Once, Chu Qing, and a few female soldiers, because they were hungry, ate the biscuits prepared by the guards, and then put a note with the words "The little mouse stole it" in the bamboo tube containing the biscuits.
After Su Yu found out, not only did he not blame Chu Qing and the others, but instead smiled and said to them, "Welcome to the little mice again." ”
In the days of spending time with Chu Qing, Su Yu liked Chu Qing more and more, so he couldn't help but write a letter to Chu Qing to express his feelings for her. When Chu Qing opened the letter, she was shocked, she never thought that Su Yu would like herself. At that time, Chu Qing did not like Su Yu, and more importantly, Chu Qing attached importance to "saving the country" and did not consider the love of his children.
So Chu Qing took a cold approach and did not reply to Su Yu. Su Yu did not get a response for a long time, so he wrote another letter to Chu Qing, entrusting Wang Jianxing, director of the Political Department, to give it to Chu Qing. At that time, the organization had the habit of saying kiss to people, and Wang Ji didn't think about it, so he agreed to it.
King Integration
Wang Jingjing found Chu Qing, and while handing her the letter, he joked: "You want to invite me to eat candy, bring you good things!" As soon as Chu Qing took the letter, he tore it apart without looking at it. Wang Jing was anxious and asked busily, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Chu Qing did not speak and left in silence. Wang Jing brought this news to Su Yu, Su Yu did not expect such a result, can not help but be a little frightened, but he also understood Chu Qing's difference more from it, Su Yu said: "Love is first of all emotion. Comrade Chu Qing is unwilling to fall in love with me, and I cannot blame her, because she has the freedom to choose in love. ”
After receiving Su Yu's letter for the second time, Chu Qing decided not to take care of Su Yu anymore. However, since Chu Qing was Su Yu's subordinate, it was inevitable that they would meet every day. Chu Qing was embarrassed, but after a long time, she found that Su Yu did not show admiration for herself, but was very calm, and Chu Qing slowly let down her defenses and treated Su Yu only as a superior.
However, Chu Qing did not know that Su Yu had actually been pretending to be indifferent, and he still liked Chu Qing very much. After some time had passed, Su Yu couldn't help but confess to Chu Qing, and Chu Qing only calmly said: "The hatred of the country and the family has not been repaid, and I don't want to talk about personal issues now." ”
Su Yu and Chen Yi
This matter quickly spread, coupled with Chu Qing's rejection of Su Yu twice before, many people felt that Chu Qing was not close to people, and even Chen Yi advised Su Yu not to hang himself on a tree. But Su Yu refused Chen Yi's kindness, and he shook his head and said, "No, I already have her in my heart." ”
After working together for many years, Chen Yi knew that the goal that Su Yu identified was to pull ten cows, and he could not change Su Yu's mind, and he did not say more, only told him to be good for himself.
Su Yu silently waited for Chu Qing, waiting for Chu Qing to be able to accept himself. Although Su Yu's love path has not been smooth, he has not lost the wind of the general. During the anti-Japanese period, he killed the little devil many times.
In 1940, the New Fourth Army, led by Su Yu and others, entered Huangqiao. Soon after entering Huangqiao, the New Fourth Army annihilated the Japanese strongholds in Laotouzhuang, Xilaizhen and other places, and also smashed the Japanese puppet army's repeated retaliatory "sweeps."
However, just as the New Fourth Army was struggling to resist the war, the anti-communist diehards of the Kuomintang repeatedly attacked the New Fourth Army. Under these circumstances, Su Yu and Chen Yi, after a detailed analysis of the political, military, and other aspects of the situation, formulated a policy of taking the Yellow Bridge as the center, luring the enemy to penetrate deep and break through each one.
Through this operational policy, Su Yu led the New Fourth Army, surrounded and annihilated more than 10,000 enemy troops, and won a comprehensive victory in the Battle of Huangqiao. Su Yu, who is happy for the victory of the battle, does not know that his love path will gradually get on the right track.
Originally, Chu Qing was secretly moved by Su Yu's military ability and his sincere feelings for himself, and the subsequent victories in one battle after another, especially the Battle of Huangqiao, were greatly deepened, and Chu Qing's comprehensive understanding and admiration for Su Yu was greatly deepened.
Therefore, when Su Yu returned triumphantly and once again expressed his feelings to Chu Qing, Chu Qing did not refuse again, but shyly agreed to Su Yu's confession.
Su Yu's family of four
On December 26, 1941, 18-year-old Chu Qing and 34-year-old Su Yu were officially married. Later, whether in good times or in bad times, Chu Qing always accompanied Su Yu. When he was in adversity, Su Yu did not want Chu Qing to suffer, so he let Chu Qing leave him, and after Chu Qing heard it, he was very angry and ignored Su Yu for several days. After that, Su Yu did not dare to say such things again. In his later years, Su Yu was hospitalized due to a serious illness, and Chu Qing stayed at his bedside to take care of his diet and living.
In 1984, Su Yu died of illness in Beijing, and Chu Qing followed Su Yu's last wishes and stuffed her husband's ashes on the land where he had fought.
Soon after, Chu Qing wrote two poems with deep affection to pin his and Su Yu's feelings of fighting together and having a deep love affair for decades.
The two poems are:
Long reminiscences,
Brother and partner,
Sour, sweet and bitter and spicy taste together.
Bumpy bumps and bumps to support each other,
Can you not remember the heart?
Sauvignon Blanc,
Miss in the southeast.
The heart is long and the wind is passing away.
The more the love sends the sweet fragrance, the heavier the mountain,
God will be blue space.
Su Yu and Chu Qing, for decades, with their unswerving love to support each other, have gone through the ups and downs, and are a revolutionary couple who truly share weal and woe.
This innocent feeling made everyone cry, and I would like to use this article to commemorate the beautiful feelings of General Su Yu and his wife Chu Qing.
