During the period of the new-democratic revolution, countless outstanding revolutionaries emerged in China, of which Chen Qiaonian was one. He was the second son of Chen Duxiu, who later threw himself into the revolutionary cause with his brother under the influence of his father, but was later brutally killed by the Kuomintang at the age of 26.
But what people did not expect was that he also had a widow, but in order to be safe and early sent to the countryside for adoption, and then after the end of the revolution, as the environment gradually stabilized, his wife Shi Jingyi and brother Chen Song began to look for the child and finally recognized her in 1994.
Each era has different characteristics of the times, and in the more than one hundred years from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China until the founding of New China, The Chinese society was devastated. At that time, the corpses of Ordinary Chinese and Chinese soldiers could be seen everywhere on Chinese soil, and the Chinese the sky above their heads could come at any time with the fighter planes of western powers, and they could also face the bombs thrown down at any time.
At that time, there were thousands of young people who wanted to save their motherland and save their people. Some of them went to join the army to kill the enemy on the battlefield, some of them picked up a pen and wrote articles to inspire people's thoughts, and some of them studied foreign knowledge theories to find a way for China to save the country, and Chen Duxiu was one of them. He was born in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and his grandfather was a reader.
Therefore, he began to study under the guidance of his grandfather when he was young, but at that time he studied some contents of Chinese feudal culture, such as the Four Books and Five Classics University Zhongyong and so on. Later, at the age of 17, he passed the Xiucai examination, and when he was 18 years old, he was in time for the Eight-Power Alliance's invasion of China.
At that time, as a literati with no power to tie the chicken, he watched as foreign invaders went to China to burn and loot without evil, which ignited the ideal of national salvation in his heart. In order to find a path to results, he went to Japan several times to study. At that time, he studied in Japan mainly under the influence of Sun Yat-sen, who studied some bourgeois democratic ideas.
Chen Duxiu was very disgusted with the feudal culture's shackles on the people. He believed that to save China, it was first necessary to abolish feudal culture, and then to find new systems and ideas. Because feudal culture divides people into three, six, and nine grades, it seems that only the emperor and the nobles are the masters of the country, and the other people in society should be oppressed and exploited by nature.
He felt that only by abolishing feudal culture could everyone be loyal and yearning for their country. Therefore, he actively carried out a series of activities against feudal culture and Qing dynasty rule with some of his like-minded friends. However, this process was also subjected to a series of suppressions by the feudal court.
Later, during the Xinhai Revolution, he and Sun Yat-sen had a brief cooperation, but because of the fruits of the revolution, they were stolen by Yuan Shikai. As a result, Chen Duxiu could only leave to find a new way to save the country, until he later met Li Dazhao, the two men with the new youth as the position, With Peking University as the background, led a series of student movements, and a few years later established the Communist Party of China.
Although Chen Duxiu made mistakes in the subsequent revolutions, it has to be said that he had a decisive influence on the founding of the Communist Party of China and on the early group of progressive young people in the Chinese Communist Party. Chen Duxiu's two sons, Qiao Nian and Yan Nian, were also revolutionary fighters. At first, because Chen Duxiu had always opposed the rule of the Qing Dynasty and fled to Japan, his family was implicated.
Therefore, at the beginning, Chen Qiaonian and his brother were very resentful of their father, until later, when the two grew up, they went to Shanghai to study, saw what their father did and the spirit of being willing to dedicate their lives to the revolution, and gradually they were moved, put down their mustard, and became revolutionaries like their father.
At the earliest, after Chen Qiaonian and his brother arrived in Shanghai, because they resented their father for rejecting the alimony given by their father, the two people chose to go to the dock to do some hard work to earn money to earn money to earn their own tuition, and this time coincided with Chen Duxiu's founding of "New Youth". Chen Qiaonian and his brother gradually learned about his ideals and ambitions by reading his father's articles.
I also understood that it was not that the father did not love them, but that the love of the children was insignificant in the face of the great righteousness of the family and the country. After that, Chen Qiaonian and his brother gradually began to believe in Marxism and threw themselves into the revolutionary cause together. The first two people were doing some chores for the publication of New Youth at the publishing house.
The two men would also go out on the street to sell New Youth magazine in an attempt to make more people aware of the current situation and new ideas. Later, the two people began to open a drama club with some of their like-minded classmates at school, creating some satirical dramas to perform on the streets to inspire the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people.
After the two of them returned from studying in France together, they both became Communists, and continued to work underground, organize revolutionary activities, and finally be caught and brutally killed by the Communist Party reactionaries, when he was only 26 years old.
Although Chen Qiaonian died young, he also had a child, he met another female comrade of the Party Central Committee named Shi Jingyi at the age of 24, both of whom were highly educated, baptized by new ideas, and both shared revolutionary beliefs, so they quickly established a romantic relationship and had a child.
Unfortunately, the couple's first child died prematurely. Later, when Chen Qiaonian was caught by the Kuomintang reactionaries and imprisoned, Shi Jingyi was already pregnant with the second child of the two people, but before the child was born, Chen Qiaonian was brutally killed.
After the child was born, Shi Jingyi, as a revolutionary, always had to be prepared for bloody sacrifice, afraid that the child would not be taken care of, so she sent the child to the rescue association early to raise, and later was organized to transfer it to a family in the countryside for adoption. Later, after the end of the revolution, as the political situation stabilized, Shi Jingyi and Chen Qiaonian's younger brother Chen Songnian began to search for the children of that year.
In the end, the child was finally found and recognized by his mother, this child was sent to the countryside to raise him from a young age, and he did not read much when he was a teenager, mainly to help people herd cattle and work, so it was not suitable for inheriting Chen Qiao Nian's legacy, but as long as they could re-recognize each other, it was very complete.
Chen Qiaonian was a martyr who had shed blood and paid for the cause of the revolution, and he sacrificed to save the Chinese society and thousands of Chinese families at that time, but his own small family was torn apart. When he was killed by the reactionaries, he himself did not think of having another child who had not yet been born, which may also be the favor of heaven, so he left a blood vein for the martyr Chen Qiaonian.
