The wife of the vice premier I want to talk about today is named Yan Weibing.
Yan Weibing was a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, her father Yan Pu was originally a rich man in Wuxi, open-minded, influenced by the revolutionary trend, yearning for revolution, in 1926 he gave his land to the peasants, and in 1928 sold his family property, rushed from Jiangsu to Jiangxi, threw himself into the Jinggangshan revolutionary base area, served as vice minister of finance in the Ruijin Soviet government, and then participated in the Long March with illness, and during the War of Resistance, successively served as secretary general of the Office of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an and Chongqing.
Yan Weibing was a talented woman who was admitted to the Department of Chinese Literature at National Central University in 1937 with the first prize. Due to the outbreak of the "Lugou Bridge Incident" on July 7 of that year, she transferred to Yan'an to find her parents and entered the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Four years later, in 1941, under the enthusiastic guidance of Chen Yun, he married Lu Dingyi.
Regarding Lu Dingyi, Lao Qin firmly remembered this name when he was in the first grade of junior high school - didn't the first grade of junior high school have a Chinese text called "Old Mountain Boundary"? This text was written by Lu Dingyi.
In fact, the "Golden Fish Hook" in the fifth grade Chinese textbook is also Lu Dingyi's work. However, the textbooks of the primary school do not indicate the author's name, which is not well known.
I have to say that Lu Dingyi is also a big talent.
Moreover, Lu Dingyi is also a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. His father, Lu Chengzhou, graduated from The Beijing Normal University in his early years, and during the Republic of China, he served as the governor of the Zhejiang Higher Court, the chief procurator of the Capital Supervision Department, and other important government positions.
Lu Dingyi was intelligent and sensitive to ordinary people since childhood, and after graduating from high school, he was admitted to Nanyang Engineering (now Shanghai Jiao Tong University), threw himself into the revolution during the May Thirtieth Movement, joined the Communist Party, and became an excellent revolutionary fighter.
Lu Dingyi was born in 1906, Yan Weibing was born in 1918, but Zhen Zhen said that in addition to the age gap, they are really lang talent and women, extremely matched.
However, as early as 1929, Lu Dingyi was already married to Tang Yizhen, a woman in Wuchang, Hubei Province, and the two also gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Tang Yizhen, a graduate of Hubei Women's Normal School, met and fell in love with Lu Dingyi when he studied in the Soviet Union, and later married in Jiangxi Su District.
In October 1934, when the Red Army was forced to carry out the Long March, Lu Dingyi participated in the Long March, and Tang Yizhen was left behind in the face of childbirth.
For seven long years from 1934 to 1941, Lu Ding never heard from Tang Yizhen, and he did not know whether Tang Yizhen was alive or dead.
However, he expected that Tang Yizhen must have been killed by the enemy, so he agreed to Chen Yun's matchmaking and married Yan Weibing.
It was not until November 1943 that Lu Dingyi had already given birth to a son and a daughter with Yan Weibing, and he received the news that Tang Yizhen had died on January 31, 1935.
Lu Dingyi wrote down his sadness in his talented tone, saying that he had "lost sleep for more than half a month" when he heard the news, and that from then on, "whether it was a great joy or a great tragedy", "no tears could be shed".
Of course, he did not dare to reveal such a deep affection for his ex-wife in front of Yan Weibing.
For example, after the founding of New China in 1949, Lu Ding served as director of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the Cultural and Educational Commission of the Central People's Government; at the first session of the First National People's Congress in September 1954, he was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and at the same time as director of the Central Propaganda Department; in 1956, he was elected as an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the Eighth National Congress; and since April 1959, he has been appointed vice premier of the State Council, a vice-state-level leader, and it is entirely possible to find a pair of children born to his ex-wife. He also wanted to go very much. But never dared to translate into action. By 1987, Yan Weibing had passed away (Yan Weibing died in 1986), and he had already gone to Nanchang to meet his son, daughter and granddaughter who had been separated for more than 50 years. On the same day, he left a handwritten inscription on the stone stele in front of Tang Yizhen's tomb: "Yizhen confidant, my wife." ”
That is, Tang Yizhen and Yan Weibing, who is Lu Dingyi's favorite? glance.
Then again, Yan Weibing's literary attainments were very deep, and he was able to suppress Lu Dingyi.
Lao Qin is here to talk about a small episode.
It is said that one day, Lu Dingyi went to Chairman Mao's residence for a meeting and returned very late. When he arrived at home, he clasped his wife's hand tightly and asked, "Wei Bing, everyone says that Wang Bo was very young when he wrote the Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion, but how old was he at that time?" Where is this documented? Yan Weibing listened to him ask this question headlessly, a little confused, and asked what really happened. It turned out that on the sidelines of the meeting on that day, Chairman Mao asked the comrades present at the meeting this question. Chen Boda and Hu Qiaomu, as well as responsible persons of the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Culture, all looked at each other and could not answer. When Yan Weibing heard this, he laughed and said, "It is recorded in the fifteenth volume of the Tang Shuyan that Wang Bo wrote the Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion when he was 14 years old. Lu Dingyi was suspicious of the letter, found the "Tang Shuyan", turned to the fifteenth volume, checked it, and sure enough. Lu Dingyi later told Chairman Mao the answer. Chairman Mao was so happy that he praised him and said, "If in ancient times, your wife could have won a female title." ”
However, from March 1960, this "female leader" actually wrote letters insulting Lin Biao and his family under pseudonyms such as "JiduShan", "Wang Guang", and "Huang Mei". The letter was sent directly to Lin Biao's residence, and 40 letters were written before and after.
Needless to say, if she does this, it will cause an uproar.
Later, many books wrote about this matter in great color. For example, Ye Yonglie's "Haunting storm", Huang Zheng's "Interview with Wang Guangmei", Huang Ping's "My Grandfather Lu Dingyi" and so on. However, these books quote a lot of anecdotal rumors, such as Yan Weibing and Lin Biao and his family's various grudges and feuds, as well as the dramatic "Wangfujing Department Store Stepping on the Foot" incident, which is like a stall literature.
Such a plot does not stand up to scrutiny at all, and it is broken at a poke.
Think about it, is it possible to say that two high-ranking ladies fought in the Wangfujing Department Store and cursed each other?
He also said that Lin Biao held a meeting to ask others to prove the innocence of his family, which is not funny.
In fact, Yan Weibing's detection was that the public security personnel analyzed the distribution of anonymous letters through the postmark on the letter, the time density, and the path to these delivery points, and gradually closed the net, and finally locked on Yan Weibing's body.
Yan Weibing's sister, Premier Zhou Enlai's foreign affairs secretary, also confirmed this afterwards. That is, the case was solved by the Sixth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security in March 1963. At that time, Xia Yin, director of the Sixth Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, came to Yan Weibing's unit, the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, and through retrieving Yan Weibing's archives, compared the handwriting, and finally determined that the letter writer was Yan Weibing.
So, the question is, why did Yan Weibing write these letters?
Lu Dingyi explained: "The reason why Yan Weibing wrote the anonymous letter is because she suffers from mental illness and cannot grasp herself. ”
However, Yan Zhao never said that her sister suffered from mental illness, she only repeatedly emphasized two points: first, her sister's memory is very good; second, her sister is very shrewd.
Qiu Huizuo later recalled that at the meeting presided over by Zhou Enlai, Public Security Minister Xie Fuzhi reported on the investigation of the case, and Zhou Enlai was very angry and sharply asked Lu Dingyi whether he knew all this Yan Weibing had done, saying that Yan Weibing's practice was "indecent."
Qiu Huizuo said that because he was too angry, Zhou Enlai also grabbed the teacup in front of him and threw it to the ground.
Yan Weibing was subsequently arrested and did not regain his freedom until December 1978.
Lu Dingyi died in 1996 at the age of 90.
