Chen Duxiu died of illness and let him die before he diedThe wife remarried, but there is one thing that cannot be forgotten.
On May 27, 1942, Chen Duxiu, an early Chinese revolutionary leader, died of illness, and before his death, he gazed affectionately at his wife Pan Lanzhen and cared about her future life.
He agrees with his wife to remarry when she finds a suitable one, but there is one thing he must agree to him. This incident is Chen Duxiu's request to his wife to remember that his ashes must be scattered on a piece of land in Jiangjin, which is his deep attachment and admiration for his hometown.
Although Pan Lanzhen is only 34 years old, she deeply understands her husband's intentions and agrees to his request. This persistence and belief is touching.
Chen Duxiu, a bright star in the early days, illuminated the way forward for many confused intellectuals and was an important leader of the early revolution. ** Zeng said: "Chen Duxiu was the commander of the May Fourth Movement and the mentor of many of our revolutionary youth, including me, who was deeply influenced when I was at Peking University. ”
Chen Duxiu, who was born in the late Qing Dynasty, has an excellent talent for learning, and was the top student in high school at the age of 17, but the failure of the Wuxu Reform Law was like a lightning bolt, awakening his consciousness, and he began to look at the Qing ** from a new perspective, and his mind began to sway.
His outspokenness sparked disgust at the school, and he was eventually expelled. Subsequently, he traveled to Dongying and came into contact with the ideas of bourgeois-democratic revolution for the first time, which became the basis of his revolutionary convictions.
After that, he used his pen to make **, led a revolution in the cultural world, and launched the famous May Fourth Movement. In 1920, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao founded the Communist Party of China in Shanghai, and they widely promoted Marxism among the working class.
Chen Duxiu's "New Youth" pinned on his deep expectations for youth, and he was the beacon of countless young people at that time, including the later *** However, due to the misjudgment of the Chinese revolutionary situation, Chen Duxiu made a directional mistake in the later stage of the Great Revolution, which was a serious mistake.
Chen Duxiu was one of the early leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, but after the defeat of the Great Revolution, his thinking changed and he disagreed with the party's line. Finally, in 1929, he and Peng Shuzhi were expelled from the party and became non-party members.
Chen Duxiu's life also began to decline, even to the point where he had to sell clothes in exchange for food, but he never did anything unfavorable to the country and always stuck to his beliefs.
In 1930, Chen Duxiu came to Shanghai in despair, and in order to avoid the search of the Kuomintang, he hid in a small house in Shikumen on Xihuade Road under the pseudonym Mr. Li.
At this time, Chen Duxiu was extremely sad in his heart, his wife was at odds with him and left him, his two sons Chen Yannian and Chen Qiao were killed by the Kuomintang at a young age, and his daughter died of a violent illness in order to collect the bodies of Yannian and Qiao Nian.
His like-minded partner, Mr. Li Dazhao, was killed, and he himself was wanted by the Kuomintang, and he fell into despair. During this time, Pan Lanzhen, who was next door, noticed this Mr. Li who looked different.
He looked suave, read poetry and books, and wrote at home every day. Although she didn't know what he was writing, she intuitively felt that he was a cultural person and must be writing something important.
At that time, Chen Duxiu was always dressed in tatters, and sometimes there was no food and clothing, Pan Lanzhen took pity on him, so she often brought him hot meals.
Pan Lanzhen is an ill-fated woman who went out to work in a yarn factory for her family when she was a teenager. However, unfortunate things followed, she encountered the foreman's ** and became pregnant with a child, but the child died soon after birth.
With deep grief, she came to work in the tobacco company where her father worked, and moved to live next door to Chen Duxiu. They met through delivering food, and Chen Duxiu was attracted by Pan Lanzhen's literary tone and gentle character.
Their relationship gradually changed from caring to caring, and finally came together. They are 29 years apart, but they are not afraid of anyone when they decide to be together, and they bear the ups and downs of life together.
Pan Lanzhen is a reasonable woman, she goes out to work during the day, and at night she comes home to clean up the housework and take care of Chen Duxiu, creating a valuable creative environment for him. Chen Duxiu is very happy that Pan Lanzhen is a fast learner, smart and clever, and often teaches her to read and write and memorize poems.
Pan Lanzhen also proposed that they adopt a child, and Chen Duxiu agreed. They adopted a daughter named Pan Fengxian. Pan Lanzhen gave Chen Duxiu the warmest family life at the low point of his life.
Her Mr. Li is Chen Duxiu! Pan Lanzhen, Chen Duxiu's wife, found out that her husband was missing on a way back to Shanghai. Due to the influence of the social atmosphere at that time, she thought that she was abandoned by her husband, but she did not resent him in her heart and thought that she was not worthy of him.
However, by chance, she saw a news in the newspaper: Chen Duxiu**, escorted to Nanjing. Looking at Mr. Li on the **, she suddenly realized that her Mr. Li was the famous Chen Duxiu, the revolutionary guide.
At this time, Chen Duxiu was in prison, worried that he might be regarded as a negative man by his wife. He would never have imagined that a few days later, his wife would appear in front of him and say firmly, "Go back quickly!"
I still have a job in Nanjing, and I can't give you anything here. ”
Chen Duxiu looked at the "silly" woman in front of him, and his heart was full of shock and emotion. Pan Lanzhen said to him firmly: "Sir, I will take care of you here, and I will not go anywhere." ”
Pan Lanzhen made sacrifices for Chen Duxiu, she quit her job in Nanjing, settled her daughter in her mother, and came to prison without hesitation. Although Duan Xipeng, Chen Duxiu's student and now the deputy minister of the Ministry of Education in Nanjing, invited Pan Lanzhen to live in his home, she politely declined.
Pan Lanzhen found a dilapidated house next to the prison and did odd jobs, such as pulping, washing and sewing, washing and shabu, barely making ends meet, and regularly went to the prison to deliver some hot meals to Chen Duxiu.
Sometimes, she even lives directly with Chen Duxiu in prison. The prison warden was moved to see her working so hard as a weak woman, and to never abandon her husband in prison. He also knew that he couldn't offend people badly, so he turned a blind eye and didn't see it.
With Pan Lanzhen's careful care, Chen Duxiu's life in prison was not bad, but created a quiet environment for him, which was conducive to his creation. As a result, Chen Duxiu lived a scholarly life that turned his ears to what was going on outside the window, concentrating on writing articles in prison, and sometimes working all night.
In prison, Chen Duxiu felt a kind of tranquility that could not be experienced outside, and this tranquility came from Pan Lanzhen's meticulous care. Whether it was all night or late at night, Pan Lanzhen always persuaded him to rest with kind words, and she would leave quietly when he slept peacefully.
Chen Duxiu is very grateful for Pan Lanzhen's care, even though he is a person who loses his temper easily, but in front of Pan Lanzhen, he has never lost his temper once. In 1937, when Nanjing was bombed by the Japanese army, Chen Duxiu's prison was overturned, and he survived by hiding under a table, but he was worried about Pan Lanzhen's safety and persuaded her to leave as soon as possible.
However, Pan Lanzhen said firmly: "I won't go, if you want to die, let's die together." Later, under the vigorous efforts of the CCP and Hu Shih, the Kuomintang finally agreed to release Chen Duxiu, and he finally came out of prison.
Chen Duxiu lived in his later years after experiencing two painful marriages, and finally found his happiness. He and Pan Lanzhen became husband and wife, although they were only cohabitants before, Chen Duxiu couldn't see Pan Lanzhen being pointed at by the outside world.
He was so good to Pan Lanzhen, on the one hand, because of Pan Lanzhen's kindness and selflessness, and on the other hand, because of the lessons he himself learned from two failed marriages. Chen Duxiu's first wife was an arranged marriage, although they had three children, two sons were killed by the Kuomintang, the eldest daughter also lost her life in the process of collecting the body, and Mrs. Gao also died in grief.
The second wife was his half-sister and accompanied him through a glorious period, but later left him because Chen Duxiu only cared about his career and did not care about his family. These experiences left a deep imprint on Chen Duxiu's heart, and he cherished his third marriage to Pan Lanzhen even more.
After being released from prison, they first went to Wuhan, but soon had to leave because of the surveillance of Kuomintang agents and the visits of others. In 1938, they came to Jiangjin County, Sichuan, and began their new life.
Despite the difficulties and challenges in life, Chen Duxiu and Pan Lanzhen's love and faith have never wavered. They have gone through the trials and tribulations of life, but their love is stronger.
They are each other's dependence, each other's partners, and their stories tell us that love needs to go through hardships to be stronger, and only when it really experiences the difficulties of life can love be more precious.
Although Chen Duxiu has become a non-partisan, his popularity and extensive connections have led to a variety of ways to make a living, including a KMT offering 100,000 yuan for him to form a new party against the Communist Party, which Chen Duxiu decisively refused.
Chen Duxiu not only had a political status, but also excelled in calligraphy, and many Kuomintang officers wanted to buy his works, but he was a maverick and only to those he liked**.
Because he chose to stick to his principles, Chen Duxiu lost his stable income**, and his life became difficult, so he had to make money by writing. And his wife, Pan Lanzhen, grows vegetables in the countryside to help ease the burden on the family.
However, their lives did not last long, because Chen Duxiu's third son, Chen Songnian, came to join him with his grandmother, wife and children, and the six of them were huddled together.
Pan Lanzhen is the hardest worker, she not only has to take care of the family's life, but also takes care of her blind mother-in-law, washing and massaging her nails every day. In family conflicts, Pan Lanzhen always plays the role of a lubricant, patiently persuades peace, and turns big things into small things and small things.
Chen Duxiu once encountered unstable income in the writing of articles, and once even because he was so poor that he didn't even have rice to cook, he had no choice but to sell his treasured jewelry for money.
In order to make a living, Chen Duxiu's family moved to the remote mountain village of Heshanping, which is rarely visited. However, Chen Duxiu's life ended on May 27, 1942 due to a heart attack due to high blood pressure, and he looked at his wife Pan Lanzhen affectionately before he died, and her future was not missing.
He told Pan Lanzhen that if there is a suitable partner, he can remarry, but there is one thing that must not be done, that is, to use the 20,000 yuan manuscript fee. This manuscript fee is the remuneration for the Ministry of Education to ask Chen Duxiu to write a language book, which was named "Primary School Literacy Textbook".
Although the Minister of Education suggested changing the title of the book, Chen Duxiu insisted on his principles, resolutely refused to change it, and said that he would not touch the money under any circumstances. Even when his family was poor and he was sick and needed to go to the hospital, he never considered using the money.
Therefore, Chen Duxiu's perseverance is admirable.
Pan Lanzhen nodded firmly, she understood Chen Duxiu's firmness, if it weren't for this firmness, he might have achieved success in the Kuomintang and lived a luxurious and wealthy life.
Pan Lanzhen later worked on a farm, then in a primary school canteen, and even married a junior Kuomintang officer in order to make a living, but soon after the marriage, the officer died suddenly, and Pan Lanzhen was hit again and depressed.
As a result, she suffered from uterine cancer, and 7 years after Chen Duxiu's death, she also passed away. In prison, Chen Duxiu once wrote: "I hate this world, bandits are rampant, but I am powerless to change it." ”
This sentence is tearful to read, as if the figure of Mr. coincides with Du Fu a thousand years ago, and he issued a "Tens of thousands of mansions, sheltering the world's poor people?" ”
of the appeal. Although Chen Duxiu has meritorious deeds, his iron bones have made him the backbone of the Chinese nation.
