On an ordinary day in 1953, a middle-aged woman came to Zhongnanhai, and she firmly told the guards that she wanted to see the prime minister and claimed that she was ***'s "wife".
Although the guard knew that ***'s wife was Deng Yingchao, the woman's expression didn't look like she was lying, so he reported the matter to his superiors. Soon, the woman was taken to ***'s office, where she briefly explained to Secretary-General Liang Airan the reason for her request to see *** and her identity, and emphasized: "I know that ***'s time is very precious, and I won't delay him too much, just give me a minute." ”
Liang Airan didn't dare to delay after hearing this, and immediately reported the situation to ***. After hearing the news, he immediately sent someone to invite her to his home. So who exactly is this middle-aged woman?
Why does she claim to be ***'s "wife"? What is her relationship with the Prime Minister?
** and Deng Yingchao are husband and wife in distress, caring for each other. Even if Deng Yingchao is not in good health, ** will go to the bedroom lightly so as not to disturb her rest.
**Busy with foreign affairs activities, unable to visit Deng Ying in the hospital in person, overtime, will also arrange staff to keep abreast of the operation situation. Deng Yingchao was distressed and advised him to pay attention to rest, but he still found time to visit her.
However, ** not only has Deng Yingchao's wife, but also another "wife". This is because after the failure of the Nanchang Uprising, ** contracted falciparum malaria, and under the cover of Yang Shisoul, he drifted with *** and others for a few days and nights before rushing to the contact point of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee in Hong Kong.
** Seriously ill, Guangdong Province appointed Comrade Fan Guixia to Hong Kong to take care of him, during which she took care of the seriously ill Prime Minister as *** wife until he recovered from his illness and left Hong Kong.
Comrade Fan Guixia was originally born in a family of doctors, participated in the Guangzhou workers' movement in his early years and joined the Chinese Communist Youth League, and later became a member of the middle school. In 1927, because of the betrayal of a traitor, the military police surrounded her home and captured her second sister.
Her father was knocked unconscious by the military police and vomited blood, but he did not say where Fan Guixia was hiding. At 3 o'clock in the morning, after the military police left, she dared to come down from the roof of the building, watching her father die with hatred, she sighed deeply and said: "Dad, I must run quickly, they will come back to catch my ......."”
Fan Guixia ran away from home in tears and came to Hong Kong to find the party organization. With Shen Baotong's approval, she stayed in the provincial party committee secretariat to work, responsible for documents and transportation liaison.
One day, Shen Baotong gave her an important task: to take care of the ** chief, and claimed to be his wife. Although Fan Guixia is not married yet, in order to complete the task, she still agreed.
She first went to the rental house to clean up and hired a kitchen worker to take care of the food. One evening, Fan Guixia heard the sound of the horn and knew that her "husband" was coming. She went out to greet her, and found that it was Yang Shisoul, who was carrying a patient with a fever.
The man was wearing a long robe, a felt hat, and glasses, and his face had become scorched and thin due to illness, making Fan Guixia unable to recognize his identity.
Yang Shisoul carried the person into the house and gently placed him on the bed, while the doctor who came with the car instructed Fan Guixia to take the patient's temperature every hour and record it. Fan Guixia was influenced by her father since she was a child, and these basic medical care was simple and easy for her.
However, when she walked to the bed and looked, she was instantly stunned in place, wasn't it the famous *** lying on the bed? She had listened to the wonderful report in the district party committee, and she was deeply impressed by her free and easy demeanor.
At this moment, Fan Guixia felt that the burden on her shoulders was even heavier, and she was determined to take care of him with all her might as a "fake lady", especially the role of **. So, Fan Guixia stayed in front of the bed for three consecutive days, and after three days, the body temperature of ** began to gradually drop.
On this day, ** slowly opened her eyes and saw Fan Guixia standing in front of her, she was so excited that she shed tears. Confused, ask, "Who are you?" What is this place? ”
Fan Guixia replied: "My name is Fan Guixia, and I was sent by Secretary-General Shen Baotong to take care of you, and we are in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong. Hearing this familiar name, he nodded and said, "Shen Baotong, I know him." ”
At this moment, Yang Shisoul suddenly rushed in, he ran to the side of the *** bed excitedly, clasped ***'s hand tightly and shouted: "Big brother, you finally woke up!" ”
Yang Shisoul let go of ***'s hand, turned around and stretched out his hand towards Fan Guixia, dancing happily. Fan Guixia was a little embarrassed by Yang Shisoul's actions and was at a loss.
**Seeing that she was uncomfortable, he said: "Xiao Yang, you are still the same as before, so naughty, apologize to her quickly!" As soon as the words fell, Fan Guixia couldn't help laughing.
**After being in a coma for a few days and nights, I knew that Fan Guixia and Yang Shisoul must not have slept well in order to take care of themselves, so I urged them to rest. Fan Guixia firmly said that she was not tired, ** looked at the chicken soup she brought, frowned, and persuaded her not to waste it.
Despite her weak health, *** still maintains the tradition of thrift and simplicity, and asks Fan Guixia not to do it again next time. Under Fan Guixia's careful care, ** gradually recovered, and the relationship between them became closer and closer.
In his spare time, ** will chat with Fan Guixia, read documents and newspapers together.
** Asked Fan Guixia with concern if she knew his wife Deng Yingchao, and expressed her miss for her. Ms. Fan confirmed that Ms. Deng was in Shanghai and said her safety was guaranteed.
After hearing the news, ** felt relieved and spoke to Fan Guixia, asking her age and if she had a boyfriend. Fan Guixia said that she has a boyfriend and is a student of ***.
Surprised by this and said he wanted to know more about him.
Fan Guixia participated in the Northern Expedition with the encouragement of Pan Yaofang, a student of the fourth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, but after the '415' big ** in Guangzhou, they lost contact. Although *** comforted her and said that if Pan Yaofang loved her, she would definitely come to her, but if he didn't come to her, then she didn't have to love him anymore.
Teach Fan Guixia to smoke, dance, drink and play mahjong to make her appear more natural in the crowd. When she went to a meeting, Fan Guixia would be by his side, and her cheeks were already covered with sweat along the way.
Also waiting in the conference room were Shen Baotong's wife, Peng Pai's wife and others. When she heard that an armed riot was about to take place in Guangzhou, Fan Guixia excitedly stood up and asked for the specific time.
Although Shen Baotong's wife told her that she had not yet been notified, her heart was full of joy and looked forward to the day when she returned to Guangzhou.
After the meeting, Fan Guixia accompanied *** home, and as soon as she entered the door, she found that *** was more energetic than when she went out, and realized that she must have discussed the time to go home.
She hurriedly asked *** about the situation, ** didn't get angry, but said kindly: "Little girl, are you homesick?" Don't worry, it won't be long before you can go back to Guangzhou to see your mother. ”
Fan Guixia was young, and continued to pester*** to ask this and that, surprisingly, *** did not have a trace of impatience, but patiently enlightened her: "Xiao Fan, be calm, wait for the opportunity, and don't act impulsively."
Only when the preparations are done can an uprising be launched, and victory will definitely be ours! "The days flew by, and before I knew it, I had been recuperating in Hong Kong for a month, and my body had recovered under the care of Fan Guixia.
One day in late November 1927, ** said to Fan Guixia: "Xiao Fan, I have received a notice from the organization and am about to go to Shanghai to attend the *** meeting. ”
** said very gratefully: "Little girl, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of me, don't be too sad, you have to remember that the parting is only temporary, and we will have the opportunity to meet in the future." ”
**When leaving Hong Kong for Shanghai, only Fan Guixia and Yang Shijing were reluctant to send him to the Kowloon Blooming Pier to board the boat ......
After the separation of **'s "wife" Fan Guixia and ***, due to the increasingly complex situation of China's revolutionary struggle, she experienced a bumpy and tortuous life. On October 1, 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, when she saw the most chic figure appear on the tower of Tiananmen Square, she was very excited, and she also recalled the scene of taking care of him back then.
In 1953, Fan Guixia took the opportunity to visit her son and daughter-in-law in Beijing and came to Zhongnanhai to visit her old superiors who had been caring about her for 26 years.
Since she no longer works for the organization and fears that saying her name will prevent her from entering, she calls herself ***'s "wife" and is here to find the prime minister today.
The guards were taken aback when they heard Fan Guixia's words, **'s wife was Deng Yingchao, and the middle-aged woman in front of him was obviously not Deng Yingchao. The guard just wanted to criticize the other party harshly, but seeing the serious expression on her face, he reported the matter to his superiors.
Soon, the matter reached the ears of Liang Airan, the secretary general of the *** office, who realized that the situation was unusual, so he ordered his subordinates to take the woman to his office.
As soon as Fan Guixia saw Liang Airan, she said directly: "I am Fan Guixia, and I used to be his fake wife in order to take care of the prime minister. I came this time to meet the old leader, I know that there are many opportunities, and I don't dare to waste his precious time, I just hope you can give me a minute to see him, and I will be satisfied. ”
Soon after Liang Airan reported the matter to ***, ** wrote a letter to Fan Guixia in the name of Deng Yingchao and invited her to her home in Zhongnanhai at 5 pm on August 22.
At 5 p.m. on August 22, Fan Guixia arrived at ***'s residence on time - Zhongnanhai West Flower Hall. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw *** and Deng Yingchao and his wife.
She hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. ** Asked her about her current situation, and said to her: "I didn't expect that the little girl had grown up, come in, let's have a light meal." ”
**The family is unpretentious, and treats Fan Guixia as kind and easy-going as before. Due to the small number of diners, ** only prepared 3 dishes and 1 bowl of soup, namely braised tofu, Peking duck, fried vegetables with sliced pork and chicken soup.
** and Deng Yingchao constantly served dishes for Fan Guixia and encouraged her to taste the special Peking duck. Deng Yingchao also used the dialect she learned in Guangzhou to communicate with Fan Guixia, which made her feel more cordial.
** smiled and said: "The days go by so fast, you little girl is a grandmother." Now that society is emancipated, how is life going? Fan Guixia replied: "I am a teacher in Guangzhou, my son graduated from university and worked in the Government Affairs Yuan, the eldest daughter joined the army, and the younger daughter is in middle school, and our family is doing well." ”
** nodded and pondered: "When the motherland is built well, I believe that everyone's life will be better." Your job is important, and educating the next generation is a heavy task, so you have to work hard. ”
Then asked her: "Xiao Fan, did the boyfriend you said back then find you?" Is it the current husband? Fan Guixia didn't expect that after so long, ** still remembered her past, and said excitedly: "Prime Minister, it's been so long, you still remember."
Yes, he found me, and now he is my husband. ”
Fan Guixia confided in *** about her experience after separating from him, including their union, work arrangements, and loss of contact, and finally *** insisted on buying a train ticket for her and personally drove her to the train station.
Fan Guixia was grateful for this, and after returning to Guangzhou, she told people about this unforgettable encounter, and everyone praised *** as great, respectable and amiable.
Fan Guixia is in her old age, and her physical condition is deteriorating day by day. Although she was in pain several times, as long as she thought of ***, she would firmly tell herself to keep going.
With the support and encouragement of her children, she decided to go to Beijing again, hoping to get some inspiration from *** so that she could feel at ease when she died.
In October, she came to Beijing and moved into her youngest daughter's home. However, when she arrived in Beijing, she learned that *** was sick and she didn't want to disturb the prime minister, so she could only write a letter to express her greetings.
Although *** was seriously ill, after receiving Fan Guixia's letter, he still sent office staff to learn about the situation at her home many times in his busy schedule. On January 8, 1976, ** unfortunately passed away, and this news came, which made Fan Guixia cry bitterly at the memorial service held by the neighborhood committee, crying loudly, and even fainted from crying.
However, 29 years later, on August 22, 1982, Fan Guixia took a photo with Deng Yingchao in Zhongnanhai, which can be regarded as a historical coincidence. In 1982, Deng Yingchao warmly entertained Fan Guixia and gave her a handbag, which Fan Guixia used until her death on March 6, 1994.
