I have read a lot of history, learned a lot about wars, met a lot of heroes, and suddenly, today I became interested in the personal lives of heroes. Su Yu, the head of the founding fathers, presumably everyone knows, no one knows. During the four-year war of liberation, a total of 134 important battles were fought by our armyA total of 38 of them were able to annihilate 30,000 enemies, the campaign commanded by our General Su Yu is therefield, you can see his bravery and wisdom in combat.
He is full of legends on the battlefield, but he is not a soldier who can only fightHe is also legendary in terms of marital relationships。Today I will tell you about the love story of this great general and his wife Chu Qing.
In March 1939, Su Yu served as the deputy commander of the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, He came to the Yunling Army to participate in the meeting of the heads of the military department and the branch, after the meeting, Su Yu felt unwell and hurried to the hospital**, it turned out to be his old injury**. He had a gunshot wound to his right arm, the bullet was still in his flesh, and he was in great pain every rainy day.
Taking the opportunity of this meeting, he wanted to remove the bullet, but because the bullet was compressing the nerve and the location was also very special, the hospital did not have the conditions to help him remove the bullet. So he hurried away to workHe needs to pick a few cadets with both ability and integrity to do important work in the second detachmentThis is where the story begins
As soon as Su Yu entered the teaching team, he saw a student writing calligraphy, he stepped forward to take a look, and the four big characters of my rivers and mountains came into his eyes, he saw the patriotic enthusiasm from these four words, and couldn't help but praise these words again and again for being really goodWhen the writing student turned around, he found that he was actually a dignified and beautiful female student。The person accompanying him introduced to the female student"This is Commander Su Yu。The female student lowered her head and said embarrassedly"Hello chief
After leaving the teaching team, Su Yu was always uneasy, and he always had the appearance of this girl in his head。This girl was later Su Yu's wife Chu Qing. Chu Qing's name at that time was still Zhan Yongzhu, and he was an instructor of the teaching team, and there were more than 10 students selected by the teaching team for Su Yu, and Chu Qing was also one of them.
Soon, Su Yu's feelings for Chu Qing made the directorWang IntegrationKnowing that, he took the initiative to help Su Yu match, but Su Yu is a complete "straight man", his mind is full of war strategy and tactical attacks, and he doesn't know how to get along with girls at all, let alone how to express his feelings, so he is only 32 years old and has never been in love. The one who has the same experience as him is the commander of the Northeast Field Army. A man, if he is particularly obsessed and proficient in a field, he has no time to take care of other things, and he will slowly become a leftover man. This is also one thing that worries the soldiers of the New Fourth Army, and they want to quickly introduce a lady to their commander.
It just so happened that Wang Cheng was going to teach the team to run errands, before leavingHe asked Su Yu to write a letter to Chu QingAfter Wang Cheng finished his work, he immediately gave the letter to Chu Qing: "Comrade Zhan Yongzhu, this is the letter that Commander Su Yu asked me to bring to you." "Chu Qing was very puzzled, why did the commander write to me?Is there any important indication?She opened the letter with confusion. It reads: "Comrade Zhan Yongzhu, we haven't seen each other for a month, since the last time we met, I have been very impressed by you, hard to forget, I think I like you, please don't worry, this is a commander's sincere love for a female soldier." ”
After reading the letter, Chu Qing didn't know what to do for a while, she was very surprised, and she didn't have any preparations. She tore up the letter Su Yu had written to himThen he said to Wang Chengcheng, "Why are you doing this?"I disagree!Then he threw the letter on the ground, turned and ran. The reason why Chu Qing was so annoyed was because she felt that she was forced, and she thought that it was the leader who forced her to marry the chiefShe felt disrespected.
But actually, No one knows about this matter at all, Su Yu just simply admires this girl, he didn't think about suppressing her with any identity as a chief, let alone forcing her, he didn't even dare to express his feelings, for fear that others would misunderstand the joke. But Chu Qing didn't know this, so naturally it was unacceptable. And General Su Yu is not a heroic and sassy lupine scarf, but a black, thin, war-hardened man, who is more than 10 years older than Chu Qing.
Chu Qing's reaction made Wang Cheng very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain to Chu Qing, and he didn't know how to go back and explain to Su Yu. He didn't expect thatChu Qing, this little girl, has such a stubborn temper, even General Su Yu, who has experienced a hundred battles and is admired by everyoneDenied, Wang Cheng returned in vain, and Su Yu's feelings were temporarily stranded.
Soon the Jiangnan Command of the New Fourth Army was establishedSu Yu became deputy commander and chief of staff。At this timeChu Qing happened to be assigned to work here because of graduationand became a stenographer. She has to do things with Su Yu every day, which means that the two of them will inevitably see each other often, which makes Chu Qing very worriedShe was afraidSu Yu is angry about being rejected before, and he is also worried that he will be retaliated against for tearing up Su Yu's letter.
Obviously,Her thoughts were overwhelmed, Su Yu was not angry at all, and he would not retaliate against her for what happened last time. On the contrary, I take care of her work very much, hoping that this girl will not be so repulsive about herself. Once, he called Chu Qing to his office and first asked her about her work and work. Then, after solving the work, he said to Chu Qing embarrassedly: "I really like you, very sincerely. ”Su Yu againexpressed his admiration to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing saw that Su Yu was very serious, she was a little hesitant, she understood that she had misunderstood this man last time, and he didn t want to force herself, butNow is not the time to think about personal issuesShe joined the revolutionary ranks for the sake of the country, so she softly refused: "Chief, thank you for your like, I am very honored." I admire you as a person and know your achievements, but I'm a soldier who has just started workingI'm not going to be in a relationshipBecause of the national crisis, I can't think about my personal life problems. ”
Hearing Chu Qing's answer, Su Yu appreciated her even more, and he was very supportive of Chu Qing's idea, and he said to Chu QingWe can be good friendsThere is no conflict between revolutionary friendship and serving the country. Chu Qing also agreed to this proposal, and the two have become good friends ever since.
I don't know who passed on the secret between the two of them, everyone knows that Su Yu confessed to Chu Qing and was rejected, everyoneThere was a lot of discussion about Chu Qing。Some people say that Chu Qing is not worthy of Su Yu at all, she is a girl who has just been working for a few years, how can she be worthy of being with the general?Rejection is self-aware on her part. Some people also said that this girl was so high-spirited that she couldn't even look down on the general, and some people thought that this rumor was not true, and Su Yu never said that she liked her at all.
Spread and spreadThis matter reached the ears of **At that time, ** was working with Su Yu, and he personally asked Su Yu: "What is going on with you and that little girl?"I think that girl is still young, and she probably doesn't know what liking is!Su Yu said: "That's right, I don't think she understands this, but we are pure between us, not the mess as rumored, and she is not a person who is arrogant and put on a show." * glanced at Su Yu and said, "Before we were together, I spoke for others, and if I can't do it, I will change to another girl to pursue it, I am still waiting to drink your wedding wine, you are not too young at this age." Su Yu smiled and replied firmly: "It's her."I'll stick with it until she accepts me
With Su Yu's persistence, letChu Qing's heart began to slowly let go of his anxietyIn the winter of 1940, the two of them met for a walk by a small river, the sun slowly set, the two talked about life from work, when it came to emotional issues, Su Yu said to Chu Qing very firmly: "Don't worry, no matter what, I respect you, I will persevere." Looking at General Su Yu's sincere face, Chu Qing blushed and lowered his head.
Su Yu told Chu Qing that he was willing to keep waiting, and Chu Qing asked Su Yu again, how long do you plan to wait?Su Yu replied, "Until you want to." Chu Qing lowered her head and smiled when she heard this, and she said, "Then what if I agree now?"As soon as these words came out, Su Yu was very happy, and finally got his wish, and he asked excitedly: "Really?"Did you really say yes?Chu Qing nodded shyly。In this way, the great general and his wife came together。So what is the identity of his wife Chu Qing?Why did he reject Su Yu in the first place?
Su Yu's wifeChu Qing's original name was Zhan Yongzhu, was born in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province in 1923, his father Zhan Keming was a senior clerk of a well-known local bank, so Zhan Yongzhu fromThe small living conditions are superior, and the family is wealthy。After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the famous Yangzhou Middle School, where he studied with his sister. The sisters are good-looking, very dignified and popular, and they are wealthy but approachable, so they are the focus of the school.
In 1937, Japan launched a war of aggression against ChinaMany mountains and rivers in our country fell into the hands of the enemy, and Nanjing soon fell. The day after the fall of Nanjing, the Japanese becameInvaded to YangzhouZhan Yongzhu and his sister, who were still in school at the time, had no time to flee, so they were stranded in Yangzhou. The streets were full of Japanese soldiers, who burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. Many innocent people have been subjected to terrible **,Zhan Yongzhu and his family hid in the firewood room in the backyard
The Japanese came to the courtyard, searched a few times and did not find anyone, and were about to leaveThe sight of this small firewood house aroused suspicionThe firewood room was full of debris, but it looked bigger than outside, and the Japanese felt that it was boring and wanted to pick up the debris to look for it, but they were poked in the eye by a wooden stick that accidentally slipped down, so they screamed and left. Soon after, Zhan Yongzhu's father found a way to donate some money to the American church through some connections, and thenThe family took refuge in an American church
On the way to the church, they saw blood stains and dead people all over the streets, Japanese guns and troops everywhere, and Zhan Yongzhu's family followed the American pastor, and they were terrified. The road was stopped by the Japanese soldiers and asked them what they were doing, and after the explanation of the American church pastor, the Japanese soldiers not only did not embarrass them, but also gave way for them to pass, which made the young Zhan Yongzhu feel deeplyIt turns out that if the country is strong, it will not be bullied, and if the country is oppressed, then the people of this country will not live a good life. If you become a slave of the country, no matter how much you read books and learn more knowledge, you will also be a slave of the country without a country.
It is precisely because of this encounter,Jean, who was only 15 years old, decided to join the anti-Japanese armyWhen the country's survival is in danger, only by devoting oneself to resisting Japan, defending the homeland and defending the country, and driving the Japanese out of China can we live a stable life. And in addition to national hatred, there is also family hatred, it turned out that Zhan Yongzhu's grandfather was killed by the Japanese and thrown into the sea. Now the country hates the family feud, the land has fallen, the mountains and rivers are broken, Zhan YongzhuI can no longer study with peace of mind and be an ordinary student, his mind is full of itSave the country
In November 1938, Zhan Yongzhu's classmates told her that she was going to join the New Fourth Army, and Zhan Yongzhu wanted to go too, soShe went on the road with the rest of her seven companions to the reception of the New Fourth Army to sign up for the army。Although she is a girl, but the ambition to serve the country is no less than that of a boy, she is so excited that she can't sleep all night, when she came to the reception of the New Fourth Army, she found that she can not join the army with enthusiasm, she needs to have a letter of introduction.
Just as she was about to leave disappointed, she saw a female comrade who also came to join the army, with a letter of introduction in her handZhan Yongzhu begged her to write her name on the letter of introduction, after the other party asked for clarity, he added Zhan Yongzhu's name. This year, Zhan Yongzhu was 15 years old, and she officially became a member of the New Fourth Army.
After that, there is the story of Su Yu who met Su Yu while working in the teaching office, which has been told to you before. So what kind of life are the two of them like after they get married?
In 1941, Chu Qing and Su YuThe wedding was held in the 1st Division of the New Fourth ArmyOfficially married。Becoming a red revolutionary couple in the army is a good story for everyone. Su Yu was wounded six times in so many battles, and because of his limited medical care, he had bullets in his head and right arm. He didn't care about his personal gains and losses, he commanded so many major battles but never fought for fame and fortune, and in the war of liberation, he twice gave up the position of commander, and waitedAfter the founding of the People's Republic of China, a ceremony will be held to confer titles, he pushed off the rank of marshal again,Awarded the rank of general
In fact, when it comes to the rank of general, he also wants to push it awayOr *** personally talk to him and persuade him to have generals, and it must be the head of the generals, so Su Yu agreed. He said to *** that he would only feel that the rank was too high, not too low, and the general would be very high, and he couldn't be higher. So Su Yu was awarded the rank of general.
After Chu Qing and Su Yu got married, they have always respected each other like guests, and they raised their eyebrows。The relationship between the husband and wife is very good, after marriage, Chu Qing gave birth to 3 children for Su Yu, two sons and one daughter, and the family lived a happy and harmonious life. But Su Yu has been fighting for many years, and the old injuries on his body are often **, which brings him great distress and pain. In particular, the onset of an old head injury made him miserable and unbearable.
Sometimes injuries attack, even in the cold winter, he has to flush ice water to relieve the pain, seeing that her husband is in such pain, Chu Qing found a way to make a hat for her husband with an iron pot, which can be worn on his head to relieve the injury when he is in pain. In 1958, Su Yu was wrongly criticized for his opposition to dogmatism and was treated unfairly. Seeing that her husband was in trouble and sick, Chu Qing chose to leave her jobTake care of Su Yu wholeheartedly
As I told you earlier, Su Yu is a real "straight man", he can only fight wars and study military affairsFor those romantic love between men and women, they don't know anything about life。There is thisA story has been circulatingAt that time, Shanghai had just been liberated, Su Yu was walking on the street with his wife Chu Qing, and suddenly he saw a café, so he pointed to the café and said, "This café is good!."Chu Qing was very surprised, how could her husband, who had never understood life, still know coffee?There is also research on cafes?So he asked Su Yu with surprise: "You say, is it ** good?."Unexpectedly, Su Yu said: "Look, if you add a few machine guns here, you can block the entire street!."Seeing that he said seriously, Chu Qing burst out laughing, she knew that her husband was definitely not a person who liked coffee.
For Su Yu, a military fanIn his eyes, there may be military situations everywhere, and they can be studied everywhere, he doesn't care about his identity, military rank, even if he is demoted, but if he wants to leave his post, he will be very sad. So in order to make her husband not so lost, Chu Qing tried her best to enrich Su Yu's life。She personally presided over the writingCollated and edited for her husband"Su Yu War Memoirs", "Su Yu on the Huaihai Campaign", "Su Yu Military Anthology" and other works, one comesLet Su Yu look back on his war life, twoIt can also relieve his boredom, to the fullest life, three to comeRecord the wonderful military thoughts of Su Yu's lifeIt makes a lot of sense.
With Chu Qing's company and help,Su Yu's life in his later years was still very peaceful and smooth。Su Yu died of illness in 1984, and after his death, Chu Qing couldn't live a normal life for a long time, she missed her husband very much, and wrote a eulogy:
"Looks, brother and partner. Taste the sweet, sour and bitter together, and the rugged and bumpy help each other, and you can not remember it. Sauvignon Blanc, missing in the southeast. The heart is long and the wind is gradually watering, and the more fragrant the love is, the heavier the mountain, the more the god will be in the blue space. ”In Chu Qing's eyes, Su Yu is both a husband and a brother, they love and know each other, stay with each other, and it is precisely because of Chu Qing's care that Su Yu, who is riddled with injuries, can also enjoy the age of 77.
After Su Yu's death, three fragments of bullets were found in the ashes of his skull, part of his ashes were placed in the Jiangnan Command Post of the New Fourth Army, the place where he and Chu Qing met and knew each other. After that, Chu Qing ran to maintain Su Yu's reputation, which can be regarded as giving everything for her husband. In 2016, Chu Qing passed away in Beijing, and some of his ashes were also placed in the Jiangnan command post, which brought her and Su Yu's love vows to a successful end. Their love is the envy of many people, Su Yu is not only the founding general, but also a very good husbandIron men also have tenderness, in addition to his outstanding military exploits, his love for his wife is also shocking.
Salute to the revolutionary forefathers and those who are fighting for our better life today.
