A letter full of maternal love, revealing the mother's deep affection and concern for her son. This letter was written by a female general who gave her life for the revolutionary cause to her son before her death, and it is touching in its touching part. The protagonist of the article is undoubtedly the most outstanding female general who died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression - Comrade Zhao Yiman. She is a real anti-Japanese hero, and her name also appears in our textbooks, which can be described as a generation of heroines. Below, let's briefly introduce Zhao Yiman.
Zhao Yiman was born on October 25, 1905, in a landlord family in Yibin County, Sichuan. However, despite her wealthy family, Zhao Yiman did not have the arrogance and selfishness of the children of a landlord family, on the contrary, she was worried about the fate of old China. Especially after witnessing the suffering of the people at the bottom, she was angry at this social status quo and was determined to change the old society and build a new one. It is worth mentioning that Zhao Yiman is related to Comrade Ren Bishi, and her husband's sister is Ren Bishi's wife Chen Congying.
Zhao Yiman began his education at a private school at the age of 8. She was able to participate in the revolution thanks to her eldest brother-in-law. With the help of his eldest brother-in-law, Zhao Yiman joined the Socialist Youth League in 1924. In 1926, she officially joined the Communist Party of China and made many contributions to the Chinese Revolution. During the May Day Movement, Zhao Yiman began to lead students to boycott the British kerosene steamer approaching the Yibin wharf. In addition, Zhao Yiman is also a member of Whampoa Girls' School.
In November 1926, she was successfully admitted to the Whampoa Girls' School, and during her time at the school, she got acquainted with other female revolutionary comrades of Xu **, such as Zhang Ruihua, Huang Jie, Zeng Xianzhi, etc. After being trained by the party organization, Zhao Yiman was sent to study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, the Soviet Union in 1927. While studying in Moscow, she met her future husband and married the following year. Zhao Yiman was often separated from her husband for the sake of the revolutionary cause, because she was engaged in confidential work and could not get together with her husband for a long time.
In 1935, Zhao Yiman was appointed as the political commissar of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army, a position with a prominent position. In the following days, Zhao Yiman led the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation to carry out a lot of work, and was later known as the "Red Gun and White Horse Female Political Commissar". Regrettably, however, in November, Zhao Yiman was captured by the Japanese in order to cover the retreat of her troops, and then subjected to endless interrogations and various tortures, but she was never able to shake her revolutionary conviction. On August 2, 1936, Zhao Yiman bravely took justice.
And the fate of Zhao Yiman's son Chen Yexian is also embarrassing, his life experience is very tragic, lack of parental love, coupled with his own personality problems, he was later diagnosed with depression, and finally hanged himself at home on August 15, 1982.
