In 1956, General Sungkyun, then deputy commander of the Air Force, ushered in his second marriage. On top of the wedding, the two children of General Sungjun's ex-wife took the bride's hand and sent it to General Sungjun, who was in his 50s. With the successful marriage of the two, General Sungjun once again formed a complete family, and the scene was jubilant.
But this marriage is very strange to outsiders who don't know the inside story, and some people even rumor that the two have already had an "adulterous relationship". The reason why there are such stormy rumors is mainly because the bride of this second marriage is none other than Zhou Yueqian, the *** of General Chengjun.
As for General Sungkyun's marriage to ***, his father-in-law's reaction was also beyond everyone's expectations. General Sungkyun's father-in-law not only did not object to this marriage, but exclaimed in the letter: "Very good, very lucky!."
Why did General Sungjun marry ***?Why is his father-in-law not only not angry, but very much in favor?
Click to pay attention and walk into the story of General Sungkyun together.
To explain clearly the matter of General Chengjun's marriage to ***, we must first mention an important person, that is, his original wife - Zhou Yuexiang. The relationship between the two is not as bad as many people think, but they are very affectionate. If there is one word to describe the relationship between the two, I am afraid that "war couple" is an extremely appropriate word.
Speaking of Zhou Yuexiang, this is also a strange woman. Zhou Yuexiang was born in a farming family, although he was not very poor, and his family background was not very good. However, as a family of cultivators and scholars, the learning atmosphere of the Zhou family is very strong, and the elders in the family attach great importance to the education of their children. Zhou Yuexiang lost her mother when she was a child and grew up under the cultivation of her father. As a scholar who pays attention to culture, Zhou's father has cultivated his daughter to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable since he was a child. In 1937, the Japanese army brazenly launched the Lugou Bridge Incident and began a full-scale war of aggression against China.
At that time, Zhou Yuexiang was studying in middle school. Under the guidance of progressive middle school teachers, Zhou Yuexiang began to come into contact with communist ideas. Seeing the outbreak of a huge tide of anti-Japanese salvation movement across the country. Zhou Yuexiang actively participated in it and called for the anti-Japanese salvation.
After a year, Zhou Yuexiang not only did not weaken his will to resist because of the darkness of society, but strengthened his future development direction. She quietly ran away from home and joined the New Fourth Army, where guerrilla warfare was being waged. Before leaving home, she wrote a letter to her father, in which she explained the reason for her running away from home, hoping that his father would not be worried about it. Among them, the letter even quotes the famous sentence: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband", showing the young woman's patriotism.
After Zhou Yuexiang participated in the New Fourth Army, she was arranged by the party organization to study in the teaching team, and after a period of tempering, she was sent to the grassroots army to serve as a cadre.
But at this time, a shocking ** happened. In January 1941, the Kuomintang mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress the troops of our party's New Fourth Army, and detained Ye Ting, the army commander who went to the peace talks. This is the famous "Southern Anhui Incident" of "Strange Injustices Through the Ages, One Leaf in the South of the Yangtze River". In this incident, the New Fourth Army was besieged by dozens of divisions of the Kuomintang Army, and only more than 2,000 people finally broke through and fled, and the rest all died heroically.
In the process, Zhou Yuexiang followed the breakthrough troops to fight his way out of the encirclement and became one of the more than 2,000 lucky winners. After that, she continued to follow the New Fourth Army to various places, serving as a medical worker in the army, and treating many of our soldiers who were attacked by the Kuomintang reactionaries and Japanese invaders.
After that, Zhou Yuexiang was appointed as a political work cadre and held a position in the brigade-level unit of the New Fourth Army. And this also provided the conditions for her acquaintance with General Sungkyun. At that time, General Cheng Jun was serving as the commander of the 5th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the New Fourth Army, so he often had work contacts with Zhou Yuexiang. After going back and forth, the two also had a preliminary impression of each other.
General Cheng Jun and his wife Zhou Yuexiang were introduced to each other. As the backbone of the army, General Chengjun was heroic and scolded, and soon won the love of Zhou Yuexiang, who served as a political cadre.
Although General Cheng Jun is more than ten years older than Zhou Yuexiang, this has not become an emotional barrier between the two at all. In fact, at that time, young female cadres had a different kind of love for these generals who fought on the battlefield, and Zhou Yuexiang was naturally no exception.
In the early forties of the 20th century, General Chengjun and Zhou Yuexiang officially married and became husband and wife. Although because the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was very critical, General Sung Kyun could not always be by his wife's side. But General Sungjun never lost his love for his wife because of this, and there was always a lot of love between the two.
General Sungjun and his wife are very affectionate, why do you end up marrying *** What is the secret here?
In the revolutionary struggle, General Cheng Jun and Zhou Yuexiang had two children of their own. Because he mainly focused his energy on the revolutionary struggle, General Sung-kyun mainly fought on the front line, and it was difficult for him to play an important role in the growth of his children. Therefore, the child was mainly raised by Zhou Yuexiang. Zhou Yuexiang not only undertook the task of raising children, but also did not forget his identity as a communist fighter.
She still actively participates in the construction activities of our party and our army, and even follows the troops to participate in major battles such as Menglianggu, Huaihai, and crossing the river many times. She always puts the interests of the party first, even if she will be absent from the growth of her children, she will not hesitate. Because she knows very well that even if her children are wronged, it is for the sake of a better tomorrow for the children of the whole world.
It is precisely because of her positive end that years of "multi-front operations" have had an irreversible bad impact on her. She became ill from overwork and suffered from many physical ailments. Even later, Zhou Yuexiang was found to have kidney failure and has been bedridden ever since.
At that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries had been driven to the isolated island of Taiwan, and New China was established. General Sung-kyun finally had the opportunity to return home to visit his wife, but he was greeted not by a healthy and lively wife, but by a frail woman lying on a sickbed. Although according to General Chengjun's identity, Zhou Yuexiang can obtain good medical conditions and will not die immediately. But people with kidney failure are very weak and their lives are always in danger.
In the face of countless comrades-in-arms and leaders who came to visit him, Zhou Yuexiang showed incredible strength and bravery. It seems that she is not facing death, but a trivial matter. But every time her two children came to her, the mother, who pretended to be lightened, showed her most vulnerable side.
As a revolutionary soldier, she was not afraid of death, and the wind, frost, blood and rain during the war did not intimidate her. But she is always worried about the future of her two children. After losing her mother's care and companionship, whether her two children can grow up healthy and happy is the only question that bothers her.
After some consideration, she finally decided to let her sister Zhou Yueqian take on this important responsibility. Zhou Yueqian had just been awarded a third-class meritorious service on the Korean battlefield at that time and returned victorious. She has already set a goal for herself and is preparing to apply to universities in the Beijing area. At that time, Zhou Yueqian was 21 years old, and it was a good time to apply for college.
But because of her sister's serious illness, Zhou Yueqian's plan had to be postponed and she focused on taking care of her sister. One day, when Zhou Yueqian came to her sister's sick ship again. Zhou Yuexiang, who was full of vegetables, called her sister Zhou Yueqian to the bedside, and her weak voice was full of determination: "Yueqian, for the sake of the sisters, promise me one thing, okay?"When I die, please take over the burden of this family and take care of the two children. ”
After listening to her sister's request, Zhou Yueqian was very shocked and her face was full of astonishment. As a 21-year-old girl, she has never thought about getting married, let alone marrying her brother-in-law, who is nearly half a hundred years old。But her sister's gaze at her was so sad and pitiful, that she silently bowed her head and said no more.
Facing her silent sister, Zhou Yuexiang was the one who agreed to it. But getting married is a matter of two people, not unilaterally, Zhou Yuexiang must find a way to get General Chengjun to agree to this matter.
She was already seriously ill and had difficulty moving around. General Cheng Jun also began to devote himself to the construction of New China, and his affairs were busy. She felt that she couldn't explain the situation to Cheng Jun in person, so she had to write a note in person and ask her sister to pass it to Cheng Jun on her behalf. The note read: "Dear Jungo, my days are numbered. Death is not terrible, only you and the child make me worry about it. I want Sister Qian to succeed me, so that you have a partner and our children can rely on. If not, I will not be blind."
In China, everyone believes that "the dead are greater" and that everything must be directed by the will of the deceased. And Zhou Yuexiang threatened to die without turning a blind eye, which put Chengjun in a dilemma. In the end, he could only accept his wife's message and fulfill her last wish. Less than a week after writing the note, the seriously ill Zhou Yuexiang died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
Under the persuasion of her friends, Zhou Yueqian finally decided to take over her sister's entrustment and marry her brother-in-law Chengjun. Before getting married, the two specially repaired a letter for Zhou's father and asked for his opinion. Zhou's father replied: "Two daughters and one son-in-law, very good, I fully agree!."”
Zhou Yuexiang asked her sister, and with the help of everyone, ** Zhou Yueqian and Cheng Jun got married. What skills does General Sung-kyun have to make a young woman accept him?
In fact, Zhou Yueqian finally accepted General Chengjun, in addition to fulfilling her sister's entrustment, her own admiration for General Cheng also accounted for part of the reason.
In 1911, Cheng Jun was born in a farming family in Shishou County, Hubei Province. As a typical peasant child, Cheng Jun responded to the ideological call of the Communist Party of China very early. During the Northern Expedition, Cheng Jun participated in the very powerful local agricultural cooperative organization in Hubei, became a member of the agricultural cooperative, and fought against the local landlords and bullies.
With the defeat of the Great Revolution, the Party organizations launched agrarian revolutionary struggles in various localities and formed grassroots armed organizations. Cheng Jun, who has always supported the Communist Party of China, once again showed his enthusiasm and joined the local Red Guards.
In 1930, our Party began to consolidate the armed forces of various regions and form full-fledged Red Army units. At the age of nineteen, Cheng Jun joined the Red Army and was incorporated into the Recruit Corps of the Red 2nd Army. Less than a year after joining the Red Army, Cheng Jun was approved by the party organization and became a member of the Communist Party with his excellent performance and firm belief.
During the Agrarian Revolution, Sungjun showed his outstanding fighting ability. During his time in the Red Army, he was known for his bravery in battle, always leading the charge. It is precisely because of his bravery that Sungjun has made great achievements, and gradually rose from an ordinary Red Army soldier to the commander of the Red Army.
In November 1935, Sung Kyun served as the commander of the 6th Regiment of the 6th Division of the 18th Red Army Corps. At that time, due to the mistakes of high-level decision-making and the failure of the anti-encirclement and suppression action in the Soviet area, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army had to start its own long march of 10,000 miles. During the Long March, the Red Army encountered numerous difficulties and obstacles. Among them, there are not only natural and geographical disaster risk areas, but also suffer from the encirclement of the Kuomintang army.
The Red Army suffered heavy losses in the process, but countless heroes emerged in the course of the battle, and Sungkyun was one of them. In March 1936, when the Red Second Army and the Kuomintang army started the battle in the Wumeng Mountain area. In the battle, Cheng Jun was coldly hit by the enemy in the right shoulder, which was the seventh time he had been wounded since joining the army. Despite his wounds, he insisted on directing the battle. At that time, the Red Army needed to break through the blockade line set up by the Guizhou warlord Wang Jialie, and the Kuomintang troops guarding the passage had a grenade battalion in their hands.
With the support of this unit, our troops suffered heavy losses. The leadership of the unit realized that in order to pass through here safely, the grenade battalion had to be eliminated. And the problem of how to solve this grenade battalion fell on Cheng Jun's head. After he was ordered, he led his subordinates to form a "death squad" to go to the grenade battalion to open a passage, and finally successfully completed the mission.
During the War of Liberation, Sungkyun also performed extraordinary. In the battle to defend Lianshui, Cheng Junzheng took the post of commander of the 11th Column of Huaye and was ordered to defend Lianshui. In this battle, the 11th Column faced the integrated 74th Division, one of the ace troops of the Kuomintang. As one of the trump cards under Chiang Kai-shek, the 74th Division was reorganized and was well-equipped and all American products. At the same time, the personnel of the 74th Division were neat and well-trained, and it was one of the few units in the Kuomintang that was "capable of fighting."
But such an ace force, with the support of its own aircraft, artillery, and tanks, still failed to break through the iron-blooded defense line of the 11th column. Even some of our soldiers ran out of bullets and picked up the bricks on the positions to fight the enemy. It was this strong fighting spirit that finally enabled the 11th Column to resist the Kuomintang's crazy attack and successfully waited for support.
From the above experience alone, it is enough to see the courage of General Sungkyun. In 1955, the People's Republic of China held its first investiture ceremony since the founding of the People's Republic of China. General Sung-kyun was awarded the rank of lieutenant general by virtue of his rich resume in the past.
It was General Chengjun's rich experience in the past that made Zhou Yueqian also praise him and admired him very much. Under the persuasion of everyone around her, Zhou Yueqian finally showed her admiration for her brother-in-law and love for her sister and children, and finally accepted the union with General Sungjun.
