In 1960, Chen Yexian, who was in Beijing, was deeply angry about the starvation incident in Yichang, Hubei, so he directly handed a satirical letter to ***.
Although *** was very angry with the letter, he later replied with only six words. So, as Zhao Yiman's son, what is Chen Yexian's life like?
Why was he so angry that he even went so far as to write a sarcastic letter to the chairman? What happened next? Let's explore this mystery together!
Chen Yexian, a native of Zhuji, Zhejiang, was born in January 1963. He joined the Communist Party of China in April 1985 and began working in July 1987. He graduated from Zhejiang University with a bachelor's degree in Chinese language and literature from the Department of Chinese.
He is now a senior political engineer. ”
Chen Yexian is not a well-known name, as a descendant of martyrs, historical sources do not describe him much, but he is a loner. This is not only related to his character, but also to a unique letter from his mother Zhao Yiman.
He had a rough background, he grew up in his aunt Chen Congying's house since he was a child, and he didn't know that his mother was the hero Zhao Yiman until he grew up.
Chen Yexian's background is a mystery, he only knows that Chen Congying is his aunt, Ren Bishi is his uncle, and he grew up in his aunt's house since he was a child. Although Chen Congying and Ren Bishi were very concerned about him, he still felt a little lonely and depressed.
However, his cousin Ren Guiqi took good care of him, and coupled with Chen Congying and Ren Bishi's education, his thinking was very advanced. Although he didn't communicate much with his aunt and uncle, he still had a good life.
According to his aunt's plan, Chen Yexian studied in the Department of Foreign Affairs of Renmin University, but did not engage in diplomatic work after graduation, and the reason is unbearable. It turned out that his personal hygiene habits were too poor, and he was unkempt every day and did not take care of it.
Therefore, he went to the Beijing Industrial School and became a political teacher. Probably because he thinks that as long as he is serious about academics, he doesn't have to care too much about his image, so he still maintains a "raunchy" appearance.
Although Chen Congying took Chen Yexian home, due to his busy work, he did not teach him too many self-care skills. As time went on, Chen Yexian's lifestyle was still very lazy, and the people around him didn't pay much attention to it.
His personality was introverted by nature, so he continued to live a solitary life. However, a piece of news in 1956 made his heart even heavier. He met his mother for the first time.
Chen Yexian only knew that he was a child under the fence since he was a child, and his desire for maternal love made him dare not ask too much. However, he never imagined that he would one day see his mother's last letter.
In 1956, he received a notice to meet his mother, which surprised and overwhelmed him. When he was told that his mother was the hero Zhao Yiman, he was almost so excited that he fainted from crying.
Learning about the torture his mother subjected to traumatized his spirit.
When Chen Yexian was young, he tattooed the words "Zhao Yiman" on his left arm with a steel needle and ink to commemorate the brave anti-Japanese hero. Before Zhao Yiman sacrificed, he left an affectionate suicide note to Chen Yexian: "Ning'er, it is really a pity that your mother failed to fulfill her responsibility for educating you.
Because I resolutely carried out the anti-Manchurian anti-Japanese struggle, today is on the eve of sacrifice, and I hope that when you grow up, you will not forget that your mother sacrificed for the country. ”
After Chen Yexian read this short but deep suicide note, his heart was full of admiration and sorrow. Since then, his character has become more calm, and he deeply remembers his mother's legacy.
Chen Yexian has understood since he was a child that he is under the fence at his aunt's house, but after knowing his mother's identity, he gets along with his aunt's family again, and his mood is even heavier. After moving into the school, although they were given a separate dormitory because of their status as a descendant of martyrs, they often became the bottom of the dormitory inspection due to health problems.
Although he later had the opportunity to live with his colleagues, Chen Yexian's personality was not much happier because of this. It wasn't until his colleague Yuan Baoshan came into contact with him for a long time that Chen Yexian began to recall the past events of those years.
Before Chen Congying sent her to Renmin University, Chen Yexian studied at Wenhua University in Shanghai. At that time, she liked to be alone and quiet. Once, while she was resting in her dormitory due to illness, a senior student suddenly broke into her dormitory and tried to insult her.
Although she struggled to resist, this incident left a psychological shadow on her, making her originally calm personality even more introverted. Later, she went to Renmin University to study, learned about her mother's identity, and became a full-time teacher at the Beijing Industrial School.
Despite his low-key temperament, solitary temperament, and slightly messy appearance, Chen Yexian is loved by students for his profound knowledge and rich knowledge reserves. However, this is only the beginning of his calm character, his story continues, and what wonderful changes are there to come?
Although Chen Yexian likes to be alone, his family background is quite good. His parents were both excellent soldiers, his father Chen Dabang went to work in France, and his mother was an anti-Japanese hero.
However, Chen Yexian did not get close to them because of his superior blood. His mother died young, while his father, though still alive, had remarried and had children after his return from France.
It wasn't until 1956 that Chen Yexian officially learned his identity and met his father Chen Dabang through matchmaking.
Because he has never lived with his biological father since he was a child, and his biological father Chen Dabang has an introverted personality and already has his own family, Chen Yexian and Chen Dabang are not close.
Despite this, Chen Yexian still chose to live celibate and maintain his independence. In 1956, it was decided to issue a pension to the family of every martyr, and Chen Yexian's name was also listed.
However, Chen Yexian refused to accept the pension, insisting that his mother was the one who contributed and that he had not made any contribution and was therefore not entitled to the pension.
Chen Yexian, as a descendant of martyrs, has been working hard for life. Although he received a pension, instead of being happy with the money, he felt that he should not accept it.
He is a man of backbone, and he is not willing to change his spending habits because of this money, so he will spend money at the beginning of each month, start taking out a small loan in the middle of the month, and deduct the corresponding amount from his salary the next month.
His behavior made the staff deeply admired.
Chen Yexian was confused about the issue of pensions, but his feelings for Zhang Youlian were clear and clear. Long before Zhang Youlian graduated, Chen Yexian already had deep feelings for her.
Although Chen Yexian is usually more introverted, when Zhang Youlian was assigned to work in a chemical plant after graduation, he mustered up the courage to confess to her. After some understanding and exchanges, the two fell in love with each other and decided to enter the palace of marriage.
In the autumn of 1957, Chen Yexian and Zhang Youlian announced their marriage to their colleagues with happy smiles.
Chen Yexian, who was originally dull, has become more introverted in marriage, what is the reason behind this? In 1957, ** decided to launch a rectification campaign to encourage everyone to speak boldly, which was also the mainstream voice of the year.
Chen Yexian is no exception, although he may be lacking in self-care, but his knowledge is very popular with students. He often uses poetry to express his views on the world.
That same year, together with his colleagues, he wrote an article under a pseudonym, "Talking Miscellaneous", criticizing some phenomena.
In 1960, Chen Yexian's life was in trouble, and he divorced in 1959 because of his personality disagreement with Zhang Youlian, which made his life even more poor and disorderly.
However, Chen Dabang noticed Chen's plight and took him to a restaurant for a lion's head meal, a small gesture that had a profound impact on Chen.
Although Chen Yexian did not have many opportunities to appear in public, this lion's head became an important event in the second half of his life.
The irritation of this incident even prompted him to write a satirical letter to *** This is one of the things. So, what's the other thing? Let's find out.
You are laughing here, but the people over there are starving to death because they can't eat, shouldn't you, as the generals, make some contribution to society? ”
Although Chen Yexian's roar made everyone a little ignorant, some people understood his worries, and some people thought he was disappointed. Furious, he even sent a satirical letter to ***, bluntly pointing out that the current atmosphere and the inaction of ** have put the people in a difficult situation, and even boldly accused it of being the problem of **.
He also described his various satiries of the country in the form of a word card in "Remembering Qin'e". The letter arrived at ***'s desk in August. So, how did the reaction of ** turn Chen Yexian from anger to sigh?
In August 1960, ** opened this letter full of irony, and his face changed instantly, which made the secretary next to him nervous. Who wrote this letter that could make the chairman's face so heavy?
However, the next emotion surprised the secretary: "This is a poor child." It turned out that although *** was angry at the sarcasm in the letter, when he saw Chen Yexian's name, he knew that the letter was sent by the son of the martyr Zhao Yiman, who was most concerned.
Therefore, the letter was seen as cynical and youthful by young people, and was not intended to be harshly condemned.
** Knowing that Chen Yexian lacked the company of his parents since he was a child, he has a deeper feeling for the suffering of the world. Therefore, he understood Chen Yexian's radical ideas, and his original intention was only to hope for a better life for the people.
** Someone was also sent to investigate the questions raised by Chen Yexian. However, Chen Yexian's depressed personality cannot be changed. He has seen human suffering, but he is powerless to change it, coupled with his already dull personality and a series of unpleasant things, which makes him have a tendency to depression.
Chen Yexian's family, in 1961, the school party committee was deeply worried about Chen Yexian's health, so they specially invited a doctor to help him. After learning about Chen Yexian's experience and experience, the doctor recommended that he be hospitalized**.
However, after being discharged from the hospital, Chen Yexian chose to remarry his ex-wife Zhang Youlian, who suffered from mental illness shortly after the divorce and had occasional episodes. Despite this, Chen Yexian didn't care, he and Zhang Youlian still chose to remarry and gave birth to a second daughter.
The two daughters grew up in their mother-in-law's house. Then, the school was disbanded, and together with the research institute, the Sixth Machine Tool Factory was formed, and all the teaching staff were decentralised to workers. Despite life's challenges, the Tan Ye Yin family has been strong in the face and overcome the difficulties, and their story is full of resilience and the power of love.
Chen Yexian's life was in trouble for a while. His wife is mentally ill and needs to be hospitalized frequently**, which increases the financial pressure. And his salary, because it was during the internship, could not provide enough support.
This predicament caused Chen Yexian to become depressed, and eventually fell into a coma due to hunger in 1974, and then chose to commit suicide in 1982. Although Chen Yexian left us, Zhao Yiman who left behind still made people remember him.
Chen Yexian grew up in an era of frequent wars, and many revolutionary soldiers gave up their small families for the country, and Chen Yexian witnessed many such things since he was a child.
And the deeds of his mother, the martyr Zhao Yiman, gave him a deep understanding and empathy for revolution and sacrifice. However, Chen Yexian's childhood was not perfect, he did not experience maternal and fatherly love, although he grew up in his aunt's house, he always felt that he was under the fence and lacked the joy of reuniting with his loved ones.
This is undoubtedly painful for a child who longs for affection. Chen Yexian is a talented person, but due to various reasons, his talents have not been fully developed, which makes him feel very regretful and sad.
At the same time, he also felt helpless and bitter about the current state of the country, because he saw too much, but could not do anything about it. In this case, Chen Yexian wrote a satirical letter to *** expressing his pain and helplessness.
Although the letter shocked and puzzled many people, we can understand his feelings, he is a thoughtful person, and his words and deeds are full of thought and pain.
