He Zizhen has been away for 22 years, and after the reunion, he asked her: Why did you leave at that time?
At noon on July 7, 1959, Yang Shangkui quietly said to his wife Shui Jing: "Go and take He Zizhen to Lushan, ** to see her." ”
Shui Jing froze.
She suddenly remembered the beautiful relationship between *** and He Zizhen, and sobbed.
Yes, life is vast, no matter who hears the news of "her" in the past, they will be infinitely sentimental, not to mention the deep and meaningful ***
In He Zizhen's heart, one of the things he may regret the most is that he did not accept ***'s retention and went to the Soviet Union in 1937.
A beautiful marriage, parting ways in reluctance. This must be a long mountain and a long water, and time passes like a white cloud and a dog, how does the friendship between the two people go?The heartfelt question, "Why are you leaving?"."How will He Zizhen answer?
Stubbornly leaving: Ten years and ten years of waiting after saying goodbye.
He Zizhen, born in Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province in 1909, is 16 years younger than ***. When he was carrying out a vigorous revolutionary cause, He Zizhen came quietly.
In 1927, at the age of 18, He Zizhen organized and participated in the Yongxin peasant armed rebellion, and then followed his brother to Jinggang Mountain. She has been chased and intercepted by the Kuomintang many times, and she met *** in such a special environment.
He Zizhen is very beautiful, she is a beautiful girl, and she shares the reputation of "Yongxin Sanhe" with her brother He Minxue and sister He Yi.
The relationship between the two is hard-won, and after experiencing various dangers, the relationship between ** and He Zizhen quickly warmed up. At that time, the best young talents led the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to overcome obstacles, and quickly won He Zizhen's attention.
For such a beautiful girl, ** said heartwarmingly: "You are a good comrade, a good girl, I like you very much." ”
18-year-old He Zizhen squirmed, her face flushed.
In the eyes of ***, He Zizhen is a "Jiangxi girl", and she is a "Hunan Yankee", and the two are very compatible. Due to the special environment, the wedding of the two was not a big one, and the chef Yuan Wencai made a few good dishes, and everyone had a lively meal, which was regarded as "eating happy wine".
In 1929, He Zizhen gave birth to her daughter Yang Yuehua, a child died in 1930, in 1932, Mao Anhong was born, in 1935 she gave birth to Wang Xiuzhen, and in 1936, she gave birth to Li Min (formerly known as Mao Jiaojiao).
In fact, the reason why He Zizhen left Yan'an was not just because of physical reasons.
As early as the Yan'an period, He Zizhen was furious because of a few jokes made by an American female reporter, and scolded the reporter. This incident made *** criticize He Zizhen more seriously, but He Zizhen was pregnant at the time, had a bad temper, and had a lot of ideas, so she had the idea of leaving *** for a while.
At the beginning of 1937, He Zizhen proposed that he wanted to go to Shanghai for surgery to remove shrapnel from his body.
After many requests, ** reluctantly agreed.
Actually, in ***'s heart, he was very worried about He Zizhen.
Speaking of this shrapnel, we have to start from 2 years ago.
On April 23, 1935, the small village of Panxian County was pitched by the Red Army Ministry of Health. However, as soon as I arrived here, I heard the roar of airplanes in the sky.
Oh no, find cover and hide. ”
He Zizhen shouted loudly without hesitation, and quickly and orderly guided the villagers to dodge. However, unfortunately, He Zizhen himself stood within the range of enemy aircraft.
When the wounded screamed, He Zizhen quickly rushed to the earthen ditch, quickly set up a stretcher, and helped the wounded lie down. However, He Zizhen's every move had already attracted the attention of enemy aircraft. As the roar got closer, the enemy plane dropped a bomb.
Whoosh ......The bomb whistled, and He Zizhen did not hesitate to pounce on the wounded.
With a loud ** sound, billowing smoke rose from the ditch.
After the smoke cleared, the wounded saw that He Zizhen had fallen in a pool of blood.
Due to the shortage of local doctors, the fighters rushed to bring in Dr. Li Zhi. After examination, He Zizhen had 17 pieces of shrapnel of various sizes on his body. Because of the limitations of medical conditions and the lack of anesthetics, He Zizhen endured the operation strongly, let people hold her down, and forcibly took out the shrapnel on her body. On the operating table, He Zizhen's eyes were full of tears, but she didn't say a word. However, due to medical conditions, some of the shrapnel at deep depths has not been removed.
After this incident, ** was particularly concerned about He Zizhen and obeyed him, but He Zizhen's temper was notoriously good, causing them to quarrel from time to time.
Once said, "We can't quarrel anymore......These three caves, we live individually, you go to your side, I go to my side, no one sees anyone, so you can always stop arguing!If you think it's not good here, and if you want to study, you can go to the Red University (the predecessor of Kang University), or you can go to the Public University (that is, the Northern Shaanxi Public School), or you can go to the Soviet Union to ......”
However, this is nothing more than a rhetoric.
However, He Zizhen took it seriously.
After all, He Zizhen is a stubborn person. In the eyes of ***, she is not only a wife, but also a close friend and revolutionary comrade.
Therefore, He Zizhen has a natural "competitiveness" in his heart. She considered herself far inferior to *** in revolutionary theory, and appeared young and ignorant in front of him, and sometimes even a little willful.
This hastened He Zizhen's decision to leave Yan'an.
In October 1937, after getting permission from ***, He Zizhen left Yan'an to undergo surgery in Shanghai. However, at this time, Shanghai had just fallen, and He Zizhen was "trapped" in Xi'an.
Worried about He Zizhen made *** write a letter to her, asking her to return to Yan'an and wait for the right opportunity to go to other places for treatment.
After receiving the letter, He Zizhen did not reply. She had already made up her mind to go to the USSR.
In November, He Zizhen went to the Soviet Union from Xinjiang with the representatives of the Comintern, leaving only a handkerchief and a "farewell letter".
When I learned that He Zizhen went to the Soviet Union, I was sad. This woman, who had been "crazy" by her side for many years, left like this. The USSR was not Xi'an, let alone Shanghai, it was abroad. There is a lot of worry about her departure.
In 1938, He Zizhen gave birth to her last child in the Soviet Union, but unfortunately died.
She could not bear the pain and sent the news back to China. Mao Anying and Mao Anqing also cried bitterly when they heard the news, and comforted: "Mom, don't be sad, the little brother is gone, and us, we are also your sons!."”
This sentence of "mother" made He Zizhen burst into tears. Although this child is Yang Kaihui's, He Zizhen really felt the love of mother and son for the first time.
Although I regret it slightly, time never waits for people.
A year later, He Zizhen learned the news of *** and ** getting married. She was silent, no matter how much she complained, no matter how **, this beautiful marriage had passed in her life.
She felt the pain outweigh the shrapnel in her body, piercing her soul even more.
In 1940, Li Min came to He Zizhen's side. The woman, who had been shrouded in fog all day, finally saw a ray of light. She hugged her beloved daughter and told her grievances in the past few years, but Li Min didn't know much about it, she only knew that her mother had left her father and didn't even need her anymore. This unacceptable reality made her fall into a trance for a while, and she was even sent to a mental sanatorium.
This huge psychological trauma made He Zizhen suffer silently for ten years.
In October 1948, with the end of the Liaoshen Campaign, He Zizhen and Li Min returned to Shenyang. She finally met her sister He Yi, who had been separated from her for thirteen years.
At the moment when she saw her sister, she couldn't help but confide in her heart: "I want to see the chairman again, even if it's just a word and a handshake......."”
This simple wish made her wait for another ten years.
Ten years have passed, and He Zizhen's heart no longer has too many extravagant desires, but he just hopes to see each other.
* |Group photo of He Zizhen and her sister.
Reunion after a long absence: nearly two hours of conversation From July 2 to August 16, 1959, the Communist Party of China held an enlarged meeting of the Politburo in Lushan, that is, the "Lushan Conference". During this period, ** learned that He Zizhen was cultivating in Lushan, so she fulfilled a small wish of hers.
He Zizhen once participated in the Long March, climbed over snow-capped mountains, crossed grasslands, and experienced many hardships. Since returning from the Soviet Union, her health has also been in jeopardy. In 1949, she was appointed president of the Zhejiang Women's Federation. At that time, ** learned of He Zizhen's deep relationship with ***, and invited the best doctor in Shanghai for her treatment. In order to allow He Zizhen to fully recuperate, ** suggested that she go to Lushan.
In fact, when He Zizhen was in Shanghai, ** had already told her about her situation*** and wrote to her personally.
In the letter, ** wrote: "Take medicine well, don't smoke, and take care of your body. ”
These simple instructions are enough to move He Zizhen every time he reads it.
That's right, He Zizhen misses *** She asked ** more than once if she could arrange for her to meet with ***, even if it was just a brief greeting. However, the ** at that time failed to do what she wanted, and just passed greetings for the two.
**once said**: "He Zizhen's expenses in Shanghai can be paid from my manuscript fee." ”
* Laughing at this, he said, "Rest assured, Chairman!."We can afford to raise a He Zizhen in Shanghai!”
In addition to **, the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee also took special care of He Zizhen. The secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee at that time was Yang Shangkui, who was He Zizhen's old comrade-in-arms. Yang Shangkui was extremely concerned about He Zizhen's "wish".
In his recollections, he mentioned that during the period of taking care of He Zizhen, waiters, cooks, and secretaries were arranged for her, and full-time doctors and ** were also dispatched. In order to protect her more strictly, she was always addressed as "aunt" instead.
The aunt "lived a quiet and safe life in a small courtyard and lived a quiet life. She likes to sit quietly, without saying a word, and there is a small alarm clock that has long been worn out, which she shared with *** when she was in the Jiangxi Soviet District. During the Lushan meeting, He Zizhen's old comrade-in-arms Zeng Zhi also came to visit her. Zeng Zhi is the wife of Tao Zhu, the party secretary of Guangdong Province, and she has a close relationship with He Zizhen on Jinggang Mountain. Hearing that He Zizhen was in Nanchang, she came to visit her desperately.
When he first met Zeng Zhi, He Zizhen recognized her at a glance.
When I went to Xi'an that year, I saw your luggage, but unfortunately I couldn't see you in person. ”
Memories came to my heart in 1937, the year He Zizhen said goodbye to Xi'an. The two ladies chatted for a long time, and after a while, He Zizhen plucked up the courage to speak: "*Is there also a meeting in Lushan?"”
Zeng Zhi's eyes showed the tacit understanding of his best friend, and nodded: "Mmmm, I often see ***!."”
He Zizhen didn't delve into it, but the resonant look in his eyes made Zeng Zhi understand instantly.
After Zeng Zhi went back, he made a special trip to ***'s office.
She doesn't come often, and when she saw ***, she said: "Chairman, I went down the mountain and saw Zizhen." ”
** was reading the newspaper, slightly stunned, turned his head and asked, "How is she?".”
She is very good, we talked about the past years, as if back to the years when we advanced into southern Jiangxi and western Fujian!”
One sentence made ***'s eyes moisten.
**Sigh: "Alas, we are a husband and wife for ten years......”
After being silent for a while, ** gently wiped the tears from his face with his cuffs, and said to Zeng Zhi in a deep voice: "I really want to meet her ......."”
This sentence has been buried in my heart for many years.
Seeing ***'s emotion, Zeng Zhi's eyes were also moist, and she walked to ***'s side softly and said, "Chairman, you should meet her." ”
Find Wang Dongxing and ask him to do it. ”
I understand, please, President. ”
Wang Dongxing, the director of the ** Security Bureau at that time, heard Zeng Zhi's task and quickly found Yang Shangkui to discuss the matter together.
Yang Shangkui said happily: "This is easy to do, I will ask Shui Jing to pick her up." ”
In fact, Yang Shangkui had already mentioned He Zizhen to Shui Jing, and he had long looked forward to the arrival of this day.
Back home, Yang Shangkui told Shui Jing: "Shui Jing, you hurry up and prepare, and go back to Nanchang this afternoon." ”
Why are you in such a hurry?What's the matter?Shui Jing asked suspiciously.
Go pick up Comrade He Zizhen to Lushan and see her. ”
Ah, great!Shui Jing jumped up for joy.
Don't be ......Yang Shangkui instructed: "This task is confidential, after going up the mountain, drive directly to room 28 on the left side of the culvert, where no one lives, and there is only one waiter, so it will not attract attention." ”
Yang Shangkui especially emphasized that He Zizhen couldn't know that he wanted to see her, but only said that he was a guest in Lushan. At 6 p.m. on July 7, 1959, Shui Jing went to He Zizhen's residence.
After chatting for a while, Shui Jing said softly: "Sister, the weather in Nanchang is too hot this year, and the provincial party committee specially invites you to rest in Lushan for a few days." ”
He Zizhen didn't think deeply about it, the only thing that came to mind was whether she would meet *** when she got there, which made her heart beat like a drumstick.
Okay, I'll leave it to you then. He Zizhen agreed after a moment's thought.
We'll pick you up tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, okay?Shui Jing asked with a smile.
Absolutely, absolutely. He Zizhen happily agreed.
On July 8, He Zizhen took the car arranged by Shui Jing to Lushan and arranged the boarding place.
That night, **through** to understand the situation of the guests, Shui Jing reported to ***: "Everything is fine. ”
spent a quiet day in Lushan, on the 9th, Shui Jing personally sent He Zizhen to the residence of ***.
He Zizhen, who had a peaceful face, stepped into the house and immediately saw ***
She seemed to be frozen in the doorway, staring intently at *** motionless.
Get up from your seat, say a few words to her, and invite her to sit down.
After Shui Jing went out, He Zizhen sat down silently.
As soon as he sat down, He Zizhen's tears welled up, crying silently.
Didn't bother her crying, and said kindly: "We finally met, you only cry and don't talk, so how can you meet again in the future?".”
He Zizhen hurriedly wiped away the tears and told *** what happened over the years.
How have you been doing all these years?Is the body okay?”
I'm much better, and your body doesn't seem as tough as it used to be. ”
I'm 66 years old, so I'm old!Busy, busier than when we were fighting!”
Jiaojiao (Li Min) already has a boyfriend, have you seen it?Agree with them being together?”
I've seen it, and I'm satisfied. If they get married, you agree and I agree. ”
The two talked for more than an hour, and asked He Zizhen about his living conditions in the Soviet Union, and sighed.
** sighed: "Alas, why did you have to leave in the first place?".I urged you to come back, but you won't. ”
He Zizhen raised her head, stared out of the window affectionately, her eyes gradually moved to ***'s face, she couldn't help but burst into tears again, and choked up: "It's all my fault, I was too ignorant back then." ”
In the past 20 years, He Zizhen is no longer the "unreasonable" girl she was at the beginning, she has endured many hardships in the Soviet Union, and her thoughts about *** have never stopped, but fate has separated them.
The conversation lasted nearly two hours, and ** stood up and said, "It's not too early, we'll see you tomorrow and talk again." ”
Subsequently, **special attention was paid to Shui Jing:
She's emotional, so you have to keep an eye on her mood. "
Tomorrow you will accompany her down the mountain, and you must not leave her side under any circumstances until you go down the mountain. "
She took my three bottles of sleeping pills, saying they were poison, and she was adamant that she would not take them and would not allow me to take them. You'll have to find a way to get those pills back from her. Those drugs are very dangerous, and an overdose can be life-threatening. "
Shui Jing nodded quickly: "Chairman, please rest assured, I will promise not to leave her a step." ”
In fact, He Zizhen really thought that *** would see her again the next day, but when she woke up the next day, she was told by the staff: "The chairman has an urgent matter and has gone down the mountain." ”
After 22 years of separation, I waited for 22 years, but I only got a little more than an hour to meet.
However, He Zizhen did not expect that this farewell would never meet again in Lushan in this life.
* |With Li Min.
If there is an afterlife, we will meet again. In September 1976, ** was critically ill, and Li Min rushed to his father's side.
At this time, ** was speechless, and he tried his best to make a circle gesture to Li Min.
It wasn't until later that Li Min realized that it might mean longan, which was the nickname of his mother, He Zizhen.
At that time, He Zizhen was far away in Shanghai and could not see the last face of *** with his own eyes.
That year, He Zizhen once again recorded Li Bai's "Xuanzhou Xie Huanlou Farewell School Shuyun" and Chen Ziang's "Dengyouzhou Taiwan Song" on the Taiwan calendar, in order to express her endless sorrow in her heart.
The verses in the "Song of Dengyouzhou" say:
I don't see the ancients before, and I don't see the comers after. Thinking of the world and the world, I am alone and crying!
This is a true portrayal of He Zizhen's inner world.
Li Min, who hurriedly returned to Shanghai from Beijing, was afraid that her mother would collapse because of the news of her father's death, so she was by He Zizhen's side all the time.
Soon after, He Zizhen heard that the "Gang of Four" in Beijing had been defeated, and seemed to have some mental recovery.
She desperately wants to go to Beijing and see ***'s dying face.
This desire continued until September 1979.
Under the planning of Li Min and Kong Linghua, He Zizhen stepped into the *** Memorial Hall.
On that day, He Zizhen was dressed in a blue-gray coat, snow-white collar, and plain and plain clothes, sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the huge statue on Tiananmen Square, with tears in his eyes.
When she walked out of the *** Memorial Hall, the moment He Zizhen got into the car, she suddenly turned her head, her eyes fell on the memorial hall, her lips trembled, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't speak. When Li Min went to help her, she had already found that her mother's face was full of tears.
Because she knows very well that this farewell may be the afterlife. In her heart, she seems to silently tell herself that if she has another chance in the next life, she will still be your wife.
Four years later, He Zizhen fell ill.
It was April 16, 1984, and Li Min's family was flying to Shanghai in a hurry.
He Zizhen was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes slightly closed, his body was emaciated and extremely weak.
Li Min called softly: "Mom." ”
He Zizhen opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction when he saw the children gathered.
Mom, you're not feeling well?”
I have stomach aches. ”
Li Min understands that her mother is still sane, but she can't do it.
He Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief after the fever subsided, and said to Li Min with a forced smile: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to survive, so you are all here." ”
Li Min was in tears, perhaps thinking that her mother's condition had improved.
However, this turned out to be the last moment He Zizhen opened his eyes.
On the evening of the 18th, He Zizhen's condition deteriorated suddenly and fell into a coma.
Until the afternoon of the 19th, the electrocardiogram was blank.
Figure |He Zizhen in his later years.
At 17:17 on April 19, 1984, He Zizhen, the mother who had experienced countless ups and downs, died with *** at the age of 75.

She, through the most difficult years of the revolution with ***, her life has been full of vicissitudes, after countless hardships, her figure will always exist in people's hearts.
