One day in the early spring of 1923, 19-year-old Deng Yingchao received a strange postcard from faraway France, with portraits of famous European leaders Liebknecht and Luxembourg printed on it. What's even more bizarre is that it is written three lines of familiar handwriting that surprised Deng Yingchao, who is not yet 19 years old: "I hope that the two of us will go to the guillotine together in the future, just like the two of them." The bright Deng Yingchao's face flushed, and she understood that this was a courtship letter from Enlai. Because "the two of them", Liebknecht and Luxemburg, were a pair of like-minded revolutionary comrades. Before that, Enlai had always written to you and me, saying that "the two of us" meant that he had launched a love offensive against himself. Deng Yingchao was a little confused again: Enlai and their mutual friend Zhang Ruoming have always been golden boys and girls, Zhang Ruoming has a good family background and is also beautiful, and he went to prison with Enlai in the boycott of Japanese goods, and later went to France together. In Deng Yingchao's view, if Enlai gives up celibacy, he and Zhang Ruoming are really a match made in heaven. But Enlai really gave up celibacy, and the person who courted him was not Zhang Ruoming, who was recognized by the "Enlightenment Society", but himself!Enlai during the period of studying in France.
1. The feelings that come out of ideals and mutual encouragement. With a hint of doubt and incomprehension, Deng Yingchao sent a letter back to Enlai. Deng Yingchao asked implicitly, how did Enlai, who has always been celibate, change his mind?The first acquaintance between the two was during the May Fourth Movement. At that time, 21-year-old Enlai was already one of the leaders, and 15-year-old Deng Yingchao was still a childish yellow-haired girl. At. Tianjin Conference. Above. Be the first to take the stage. Deng Yingchao's pair. Big, blazing eyes. It is deeply imprinted in Enlai's heart. Deng Yingchao recalled in his later years: Most of these letters are not about personal feelings, but about common revolutionary ideals, and mutual encouragement between the two people on the road ahead. It is in more than 200 letters that the seeds of love slowly sprout. With a hint of expectation and desire, Deng Yingchao finally looked forward to Enlai's reply. The letter said: When I arrived in Europe, I gradually realized that revolution and love were not opposites, such as revolutionary partners Marx and Yanni, Lenin and Krupskaya. Friends Cai Hesen and Xiang Jingyu, ** and Cai Chang are also in love and married. Friends want him to find a like-minded partner, so they hope to get a reply from "Xiaochao".
Deng Yingchao's life when he was studying abroad. In November 1920, Deng Yingchao took a boat to study in France, and until she returned to China in July 1924, she spent three and a half years in Europe. During this time, Enlai wrote more than 250 love letters to Deng Yingchao, and the relationship between the two heated up rapidly. Enlai is originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and is the hometown of the great writer Mr. Lu Xun. In March 1898, Enlai was born in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, into a family of eunuchs. Although the family's fortune is gradually declining, her mother Wan is a capable housewife. Deng Yingchao was 6 years younger than Enlai and was born in Nanning, Guangxi in February 1904. Her father Deng Tingzhong is a strong **, and her mother Yang Zhende is a female doctor. Unfortunately, when Deng Yingchao was 7 years old, her father died of illness, and her mother moved north to Tianjin with her. Although her family was not wealthy, Deng Yingchao was admitted to the No. 1 Girls' Normal School in Zhili through diligent study, and became the speech captain of the "May Fourth Movement" at the age of 15. On August 8, 1925, Enlai and Deng Yingchao got married. The love story of Deng Yingchao and Enlai. They first met in Tianjin, and after 6 years of ups and downs, they finally became revolutionary partners.
After returning to Guangzhou, the 26-year-old Enlai became the deputy director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, and then promoted to director, becoming a famous professor at the Whampoa Military Academy. Despite the separation between the two, their love still blooms. In August 1925, at the Tianzi Wharf in Guangzhou, a young man wearing a peaked cap held a photograph and stared at the young female passengers who stepped down from the Tianjin steamer. This young man is none other than Enlai's secretary, the 22-year-old clever ghost Chen Geng. However, although the passengers waiting for the full ship all got off the ship's side, Chen Geng did not wait for Deng Yingchao. When he returned to his lodgings with his head down, he found a young woman chatting with Eun-rae. Enlai smiled and said to him, "I didn't pick her up, she came by herself in a rickshaw." In 1944, Zhang Zhizhong, the head of the new regiment of the Whampoa Military Academy, held a wedding banquet for a couple of newlyweds and invited many friends to celebrate together. However, the bridegroom became very drunk and was eventually carried home. Early the next morning, the newlywed husband hurried to command the general strike in Hong Kong. At the same time, Deng Yingchao spent a difficult married life with *** in Yan'an. The two miscarriages brought them great pain, especially Deng Yingchao's loss of fertility, which became a lifelong regret.
Although she had no children, Deng Yingchao dedicated her life to the cause of women and children, and became a great love model and one of the legendary couples. Deng Yingchao hurried over after learning the news, and saw her husband lying on the wooden bed, tears coming out of her eyes. Zhou Gong finally woke up after three days and three nights, and then went north with everyone. Deng Yingchao and Enlai are a legendary couple in the hearts of many people, and they are regarded as models of love. During the Anti-Japanese War, they were not only busy with work, but also had to take care of Enlai's father, Zhou Shaogang. In July 1942, Enlai needed to recuperate after undergoing surgery in the hospital, but Zhou Shaogang suddenly had a high fever, and before he died, he kept talking to his daughter-in-law Deng Yingchao: Why didn't my son come to see me. After his father's death, Enlai kept his filial piety and treasured his father's portrait in his leather armor. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhou Gong held an important position, although many people suggested that Deng Yingchao should also serve in the ** department, but Zhou Gong insisted on cleaning the family and not allowing his lover to get involved in government affairs. The reasonable Deng Yingchao has been working in the Women's Federation for this reason. Zhou Gong and Sister Deng are in front of the begonia flowers in the West Flower Hall. The final chapter: Summer rain and snow, heaven and earth are combined, but dare to be with the king. On January 8, 1976, Zhou Gong died of illness.
The love of 51 years with Deng Yingchao left her forever, leaving her grief-stricken. The 72-year-old man, who had always been calm and kind, could no longer hide his sadness, and cried loudly as he caressed the coffin: "Enlai, I will never see you again." βγIn accordance with Zhou Gong's last wishes, Deng Yingchao scattered his ashes everywhere: the first was over Beijing, where Zhou Gong had worked for 27 yearsThe second is over the Miyun Reservoir, a water conservancy project that solves the problem of water shortageThe third place is over the Haihe River in Tianjin, where the prime minister struggled when he was young;The fourth place is over the mouth of the Yellow River, which serves as the destination of the mother river. After Zhou Gong left, Deng Yingchao would wipe down her husband's used urn once a year, and left a last word, asking for her ashes to be put in Enlai's urn, and then scattered in the place where they met, Haihe in Tianjin. In April 1988, the begonias in the West Flower Hall opened in the spring. Deng Yingchao looked at the flowers and wrote "Memories from the Begonia in the West Flower Hall": "Spring is coming, the flowers are blooming, and the begonia flowers in the West Flower Hall are in full bloom again. The owner of the flower has left, it was 12 years ago, and he will not come back ......β
