The founding general had a crush on a girl, but the woman's parents disagreed that he was too old
In October 1959, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a grand ceremony was held in Tiananmen Square, and Su Zhenhua, then the founding admiral of the Navy, was invited to attend.
At the evening celebration party, a girl dancing on the stage attracted the attention of Su Zhenhua, who had just divorced. Perhaps because he was too focused, Navy Commander Xiao Jinguang and Deputy Commander Fang Qiang, who were sitting next to Su Zhenhua, also noticed the clue of the situation. After the party, Fang Qiang found the girl on behalf of Su Zhenhua, but was strongly opposed by the girl's parents.
Middle-aged divorce, the chairman is distressed.
Like many generals, Su Zhenhua's first marriage was an arranged marriage. His wife, Yu Jiaofeng, was a girl adopted by her mother, and the two married in 1929. Soon after getting married, Su Zhenhua joined the Red Army, when the commander of the Fifth Army of the Red Army felt that Su Zhenhua needed a new look to join the army, so he changed his name from Qisheng to Zhenhua.
Soon after joining the army, Yu Jiaofeng gave birth to their son. Due to frequent wars, displacement and turbulent displacement, the Kuomintang blockade was tight, and Su Zhenhua lost contact with his family. As Su Zhenhua's family, Yu Jiaofeng took her son to hide everywhere every day, and finally died in suffering because of excessive thoughts and worries.
In 1939, Su Zhenhua met his second wife, Meng Wei, when he was at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Meng Wei is a progressive female student who went to Yan'an and a top student of Nanyang Normal University. Under the mediation of the organization, Su Zhenhua and Meng Wei got married. As an intellectual, Meng Wei also served as Su Zhenhua's teacher, teaching him to read and learn. Su Zhenhua worked hard and made a lot of progress.
After the two got married, due to the very difficult life of the Anti-Japanese War, their eldest daughter unfortunately died during the march. During this period, Meng Wei also suffered a serious head injury, and left sequelae due to untimely **.
By the time the second daughter was born, living conditions were still very difficult. The child's vital signs were weak, and the soldiers thought that she would not last long, and persuaded Su Zhenhua to give up. However, Su Zhenhua felt sorry for his beloved daughter and was unwilling to give up easily. Under careful care, the little one miraculously survived.
In a difficult environment, the two have six children together. It wasn't until 1957 that Meng Wei's head injury became more and more serious, leading to mental problems, and even hallucinations in severe cases. The two began to quarrel over some trivial matters of life. Later, Meng Wei actually said that she met a young man on the way to Yan'an in her hometown in Henan, and the two established a relationship. However, due to the war, the two of them were separated, and now the young man is still unmarried and has been waiting for her. Meng Wei felt very sorry for him, so he suddenly recalled this past.
At the most difficult moment, Meng Wei put forward the idea of divorce and decided to find her boyfriend who was separated during the Anti-Japanese War, with a resolute attitude. Although Su Zhenhua was reluctant, under the persuasion of the doctor, she finally agreed to the divorce in tears and stuck to her promise to pay for the living expenses for the rest of her life. In 1959, the two ended their marriage, and Su Zhenhua was already 47 years old at that time.
After the divorce, Su Zhenhua raised the six children left by his ex-wife alone, and at the same time had to deal with various affairs at work. His friends were very distressed to see him working so hard.
At the celebration ceremony of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Su Zhenhua held one in his left hand, one in his right hand, and two in front and back. After noticing this scene, he reported to ***, and the chairman was deeply worried after hearing it, hoping to help Su Zhenhua establish a new marriage to relieve him of the pressure on his life, especially the burden of taking care of his children.
In October 1959, when watching the performance of the National Day Gala, Su Zhenhua sat under the stage and was deeply attracted by Lu Dylan on the stage. Dylan Lu is a dancer of the Haizheng Art Troupe, and he performed wonderfully at the party.
Who would have thought that a dance performance would make a general fall in love with it. Su Zhenhua's intoxicated expression did not escape the eyes of Navy Commander Xiao Jinguang and Navy Deputy Commander Fang Qiang. Fang Qiang saw Su Zhenhua's obsession and knew it in his heart.
After the party, Fang Qiang found Lu Dylan and told her Su Zhenhua's background: "Political Commissar Su Zhenhua just divorced not long ago, has six children at home, and he is the political commissar of the Navy, with heavy responsibilities and great pressure. With his family and the army running at both ends, his body may have problems if he continues like this. Therefore, the organization wants you to be able to start a new family. ”
These words troubled 25-year-old Lu Dylan, who had never been in love and had never taken care of a child, and he was a little at a loss for a while, and even a little angry. As a woman in New China, Lu Dylan regards love as a pure, free, and sacred thing, rather than a marriage forcibly arranged by an organization. Now she is being asked to marry a strange man, which makes her feel unacceptable.
Lu Dylan asked Fang Qiang whether it was a personal suggestion or an organizational marriage arrangement. Fang Qiang had no choice but to admit that this was his personal suggestion, and the organization did not make arrangements for her marriage. After learning that it was Fang Qiang's personal suggestion, Lu Dylan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was not arranged by the organization, she could refuse. So, Lu Dylan expressed his will and rejected Fang Qiang's proposal.
The first encounter refuses, and the follow-up insistences.
Although as the saying goes, "you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", Su Zhenhua did not give up. A few days later, he asked his guards to call Lu Dylan, hoping to meet him. Lu Dylan was hesitant about whether he should meet or not, and spent the whole day restless.
Although Lu Dylan was reluctant to meet, out of respect for the chief, she still went to the appointment. It was also the first time in her life that she had dated a strange man. When the afternoon came, Lu Dylan met Su Zhenhua. To her surprise, she thought that this chief was an old man who was nearly half a hundred years old, with an ordinary image and boring speech, but she didn't expect Su Zhenhua to be radiant, full of energy, and humorous, which did not match his age at all. Lu Dylan took a keen interest in the founding general of the republic.
After this date, Lu Dylan, who has never experienced love, has a good impression of Su Zhenhua. Since then, the frequency of dating between the two has increased, and the relationship has gradually warmed up. Su Zhenhua and Lu Dylan have become closer and closer, and both of them have the idea of getting married. However, when Dylan's parents found out, the situation changed.
The age difference has caused opposition from parents.
In marriage, the family pair has always been seen as an important factor. Although there are some gaps between Lu Dylan's family and the founding generals, they are not bad. Lu Dylan was born into a family of intellectuals, his father was one of the earliest members of the China League, and he had good friendships with many Kuomintang veterans. Mother Zhou Mengsu was also a comrade who participated in the revolution, joined the Communist Youth League a long time ago, and later studied at the Guangzhou Peasant Movement Training Institute.
Under the influence of his advanced-minded parents, Lu Dylan received a high-level education from an early age. By 1950, Dylan Lu had become a slim young man, with an impressive appearance and figure.
Soon after, Lu Dylan was selected into the propaganda team of the Art Troupe of the 12th Corps of Siye, and later transferred to the Haizheng Art Troupe, and often danced with the leaders in some major evening parties, and was deeply loved by the leaders.
Although from the perspective of family background, Lu Dylan and Su Zhenhua are compatible, there is one aspect that is worrying, that is, age. Su Zhenhua is 22 years older than Dylan Lu!Although true love is not limited by age, Lu Dylan's parents strongly disagreed after learning Su Zhenhua's age: "He is too old, and the two of you are not very suitable." ”
Faced with the opposition of his parents, Lu Dylan had no choice but to ask ** to come forward to persuade him. In the end, under the patient persuasion of **, Lu Dylan's parents finally agreed to the marriage. In 1960, 48-year-old Su Zhenhua and 26-year-old Lu Dylan held a wedding under the auspices of ***. At that time, many people were not optimistic about this marriage, because the age difference between the two was more than 20 years.
We will never give up after experiencing hardships.
After getting married, Lu Dylan began to take care of this family in his twenties. She is so attentive that she is even reluctant to give good food to the children. Later, she gave birth to two children of her own and grew up wearing the clothes of her older brothers and sisters.
In General Su Zhenhua's life, after marrying Lu Dylan, he felt that he owed her a lot. After getting married, Lu Dylan worked hard to take on the responsibility of taking care of his six children. From the moment she married into a wealthy family, she began to take care of the housework of the family, taking care of her six children wholeheartedly.
After Lu Dylan got married, he gave birth to two sons for Su Zhenhua. In order to take into account his wife's feelings, Su Zhenhua decided to let his two sons take their mother's surname "Lu". The eldest son is called Lu Yi, and the second son is called Lu Er. Su Zhenhua's ex-wife's six children also deeply love Lu Dylan and affectionately call her mother. Between Su Zhenhua and Lu Dylan, they respected each other like guests and lived a happy life.
In 1972, Su Zhenhua returned to Beijing, and thanks to the recommendation of the first member, he was successfully elected as an alternate member and resumed the position of political commissar of the navy. Their lives gradually got back on track, and Su Zhenhua worked on the front line until 1976, when he was transferred to Shanghai.
However, in 1978, Su Zhenhua had a heart attack due to work pressure, and the first aid was ineffective. This bad news made Lu Dylan feel painful, and his sadness was beyond words, and it was difficult to eat tea and dinner. Until 1987, after 10 years of preparation, Lu Dylan and Ling Hui worked together to create "The Biography of Su Zhenhua" to commemorate her husband's important contributions to the revolutionary cause.
