On May 1, 1928, the Kuomintang reactionaries made a decision to execute the Workers of Wuhan and the leader of the Chinese women, Xiang Jingyu. In the early hours of this morning, Xiang Jingyu finished grooming, "wearing a green and oily cheongsam, with a small pigtail on his head." She stood at the window and whispered to her fellow inmates, "May Day, remember?" The companion nodded, at this time the cell door opened, and a secret agent rushed over to "Yi XiaShi"! Xiang Jianyu stood tall and walked over, she knew that the Kuomintang reactionaries were about to move, and from the moment they caught her, even if they did not admit that they were Xiang Jingyu, those thugs would never spare anyone suspected of being a communist.
To the police
She then stood up with her chest raised and walked toward the execution ground, shouting loudly as she walked: "I am a member of the Chinese Communist Party who has given a warning to the masses, struggled revolutionarily, and shed blood and sacrificed for the liberation of the workers and peasants."
On the way to the execution ground, countless toiling masses poured in, and when the enemy saw this, they were also infinitely frightened, and they forced the police to stop talking, and when they did not obey, they stuffed stones into her mouth, strangled her cheeks with a belt, and finally sacrificed their lives for the country at the execution ground in Yujili.
Late that night, Chen Chunhe, a communist party member, risked his life and rowed a boat from Hanyang to Hankou, where he buried Xiang Jingyu's body next to a pavilion opposite the Guqin Platform in Guishan Mountain, and it was not until 1978 that the Xiang Jingyu Martyrs' Cemetery was built.
In this way, Xiang Jianyu completed her short but great life in Wuhan, during which time she was like ordinary people, the road of life was full of bumps, marriage failures, and the road of revolution was bumpy.
However, in such an environment, her thinking is still sublimating, constantly committed to women's liberation, combining Marxism with women's liberation, and constantly exploring, but Xiang Jianyu's life is only 33 spring and autumn, and her life is immortal and great.
On September 4, 1895, a baby fell to the ground in Xiangjia, Guanxi Street, Pupu County, Xiangxi City, she was the ninth in the family, and she was a girl, and her parents gave her a milk name Jiujiu, the big name Xiang Junxian, which was later Xiang Jingyu.
She was born in a chaotic world, at this time China is worried about internal and external troubles, this year, Li Hongzhang and the Japanese signed the Maguan Treaty of humiliation, this year, the bourgeois reformists began to appear on the political stage; this year, Dr. Sun Yat-sen led the Guangzhou Uprising.
Maybe born in a chaotic world, it is doomed to this girl's extraordinary.
Xiang Jingyu's father Xiang Ruiling was also a rich businessman at that time, with his own ingenuity to learn to do business, and gradually developed, as a businessman, as a new national bourgeoisie, he was well aware that feudalism and imperialism at that time caused stagnation in the development of industry and commerce, so he had a certain degree of rebellion in both his own thinking and in the education of his children, so he would send his children to study at any cost and aspire to become talents.
If there is no father's teaching, perhaps there is no generation of female masters to warn.
In 1907, Xiang Jingyu's brother taught at the Changde West Road Normal School, which also had a great impact on her growth, because I was worried about foreign troubles at home, and the idea of saving the people and trying to survive gradually became the mainstream idea of this society. Regarding this controversy, Xiang Jianyu is also very concerned, and constantly asks the root cause of what is a revolution.
Of course, Xiang Jianyu still supported the bourgeois revolutionaries, overthrew the Qing government, and established a democratic republic.
The days with his mother in Changde became a turning point in the change of thinking towards the police.

It may also be because of this influence that she has done a lot of great things in the days to come, going to Zhounan Girls' School, studying in France, joining the Communist Party of China, devoting herself to women's liberation, and insisting on fighting the enemy...
In 1918, xiang jingyu was still the principal of Pupu Middle School, where he and Cai and Sen met for the first time, before which Cai and Sen had heard about Some of Xiang Jingyu's deeds many times.
She advocated the liberation of women's rights, she advocated education to save the country, she wanted to martyr the country with her body, and threatened not to marry for life.
Before and after the May Fourth Movement, the dangers of the country and the nation became more and more serious, Marxism began to spread to China, and the mentality of xiang vigilantism also began to change, at this time she was constantly doubting herself, constantly overturning her own conclusions, and whether education and national salvation could work? How can We Save China?
Coupled with the fact that Zhou Zefan wanted to marry her as the second lady, at this time, Xiang Jingyu was pressed by one thing after another, and the family did not dare to refuse this marriage, so she went alone and refused, and the Zhou family had no choice but to give up.
Such a bold generation of female heroes can't help but arouse the interest of many male compatriots, Cai and Sen are one of them, but the two of them have not opened the window paper.
The two opened their hearts in 1919, on a cruise to France to study, it was during this more than a month of time together that they found that they had a lot of common topics with each other, although there were differences of opinion, but there was always endless words.
The two often exchanged poems during their love affair, which were later published in France under the name "Upward Alliance".
The relationship lasted until the following year, and in May, the two held a ceremony that was not a traditional Chinese wedding or a Western-style wedding, but a wedding ceremony that belonged only to Xiang Jingyu and Cai and Sen, and there was no exchange of rings between them, and no parents were present.
This is the more famous Xiang Cai Alliance.
Before the wedding began, Cai hesen's mother, Ge Jianhao, took out a floral cheongsam for Xiang Police to wear, and Xiang Police was unwilling to disobey her mother-in-law's wishes on such a festive day, and only promised her mother-in-law to wear it for one hour.
In the wedding photo of the two, Xiang Jingyu and Cai hesen sat side by side on the grass, holding a copy of "Capital" together.
A meaningful wedding photo of the two
Later, Xiang Jianyu wrote in a letter to Tao Yi and others: Sister and Cai Jun have fallen in love. In the letter to his parents, Xiang Jingyu has a postcard of a child, which reads: Hesen is the true lover of Jiu'er, and his interests are not the same. I am a new man born in nineteen hundred and twenty years, also known as the little child of the twentieth century.
In the following years, the couple had a relatively happy period, they conceived a son and a daughter, but their marriage relationship lasted only a few years, or for various reasons and broke up, perhaps Xiang Jingyu still hopes to spend more time on the revolution!
After separating, Xiang Jingyu still continues her career, and Cai and Sen also form a new family again, perhaps both sides are worried about each other, but they will never go back to the past.
After Xiang Was arrested, Cai and Sen, although in danger, also tried to rescue them.
No one would have thought that three years after sacrificing himself to the police, Cai and Sen would also be heroic and righteous.
On the day of May 1, Xiang Jianyu and several comrades accompanying him were escorted to the execution ground, and along the way, the crowds were full of ordinary people, even if they walked to the execution ground, even if they were full of scars, Xiang Jianyu still maintained the coolness of the past, on the way to the execution ground, she was still speaking, as a Communist Party member, she was not afraid of bloodshed, not afraid of sacrifice, as long as she could liberate the toiling masses, her death was meaningful.
The onlookers on the road saw her being tortured and could not help but shed tears.
Three years later, Cai and Sen faced the same fate as Xiang Police, although it was three years, but the choice of the two of them was the same, absolutely not to yield to the enemy, in the three years after the sacrifice of The Police, Cai and Sen also heroically righteous, although the two are no longer husband and wife, but the former Xiang Cai alliance, such a revolutionary comrade relationship is beyond life and death, their emotions have always existed in another way.
Statues of Cai and Sen were presented to the police
Cai and Sen and Xiang Have a pair of children, and their children are almost unimpressed by the news of their parents' sacrifice because they are too young.
Their eldest daughter, Cai Ni, and son Cai Bo, were only six and four years old when their parents died, and as a six- and four-year-old child, they didn't even know what death was.
Most of the impressions of their parents by their siblings come from friends and family.
Born in Shanghai in April 1922, Cai Ni's name is also a testimony to the love between Cai and Sen Xiang, commemorating the combination of the "Xiang Cai Alliance" in Montagny, France. After giving birth to a child, Xiang Cai and cai carried out revolutionary work while taking the child, although the life was difficult, but this little life brought a lot of happiness to their work. It was only four months after birth that Cai Ni left her parents, gave her aunt to raise, and then transferred to her grandmother. She never seemed to see her mother since then, but kept asking her grandmother and aunt who she was, why she never came to see her, when her mother came... For such a problem as a child, although grandmother Ge Jianhao was distressed, she could not do anything. Even though Xiang Jingyu missed his children very much, they had to leave them for their safety and for the sake of the revolutionary cause.
In 1927, Xiang Jingyu came to the Cai family, maybe she missed her children too much, maybe she knew that if she never saw the children again, the next time she saw them, maybe never to see them again.
That day Xiang Jingyu suddenly appeared in the Cai family, at this time Xiang Jingyu and Cai and Sen have been separated, but for Xiang Jingyu, the Cai family did not show the slightest dislike and complaint about this former daughter-in-law, on the contrary, they knew why she divorced, why they left their children behind, they spent a very harmonious night. The night home was the only time Cai Ni and Cai Bo remembered sleeping with their mother and getting up together, although it was short, but it was unforgettable for Cai Ni, who was only five years old.
This was the last time Xiang Jianyu and the Cai family were reunited, and this evening the Cai family arranged a family portrait and xiang Police, and a year later, Xiang Jianyu sacrificed his life for the country.
The only family portrait
After the sacrifice of Xiang Police, the children did not know the news that their mother had died, in order to avoid the enemy attacking Cai Bo and Cai Ni, Ge Jianhao returned to his hometown with his whole family, and after the Spring Festival, he took his granddaughter and granddaughter to Wuhan, Shanghai and other places to continue to run for the revolution. In June, the sixth national congress of the party was held in Moscow, Cai and Sen brothers and sisters are party representatives, they decided to send Cai Ni to Moscow, Cai Ni has been in the Soviet Union for 24 years, the most memorable is that in 1941 during the Great Patriotic War, Cai Ni moved to Ivanovo, and Spent a period of time in Hiding here with Mao Anying, Mao Anqing and others.
Cai Ni recalled that in that era of war, she had to throw away some things, including a Russian pamphlet that she cherished for a long time, but the photos of her parents, no matter how difficult the situation, she always carried with her, the war was cruel, in the Soviet Union, Zei experienced the same wartime difficulties as at home, and also experienced the victory of the war with the Soviet people, where people walked in the street squares and cheered like children.
Cai Ni in her later years
The Soviet Union was CaiNi's second home, and even in her later years, she still relished her memories of her days in the Soviet Union.
In 1953, she finally returned to her haunted motherland, and she was received by her aunt Cai Chang and uncle Li Fuchun. After returning to China, he was assigned to Beijing Children's Hospital, and then transferred to Beijing Red Cross Hospital.
Cai Ni is dedicated to her work, but the only drawback is the language barrier, as a Chinese, she is not familiar with her native language, it is really impossible to say, she wants to organize and propose to go to Peking University for further study Chinese.
It was not until the 1970s that she left the theater and went to the Russian Department of the Beijing Chinese College, where she taught for more than ten years until she left. He died in 2012.
Cai Bo was two years younger than Cai Ni, and after the sacrifice of his parents, he lived with his grandparents until 1938, after Cai Bo completed secondary school, Zhou Enlai found them and was sent to the Soviet Union like his sister, one was to protect them, and the other was to hope that they would work hard to contribute to the motherland in the future and avenge the death of Comrades in China.
Cai Bo
In 1943, Cai Bo graduated from secondary school and was admitted to the metallurgical department of the Moscow Iron and Steel Institute, and two years later successfully became a party member. With the return of Mao Anying, Cai Bo also urgently hoped to return to China to contribute to the motherland, until 1948, Liu Shaoqi visited the Soviet Union, Cai Bo graduated and returned to the motherland with Liu Shaoqi.
After returning to Angang Steel, because new China has just been established, a hundred wastes to be rebuilt, at this time an Angang Group is already a ruin, in urgent need of technical talents, and it just so happens that Cai Bo is a metallurgical graduate, Cai Bo took on the heavy responsibility of history, with his help, let Angang steel become the leader in the steel industry, and made great contributions to China's steel industry.
In 1991, due to overwork, he fell ill and died in Beijing.
