We introduced before that at the Lushan Conference in 1959, ** sent someone to pick up He Zizhen to Lushan, and the two met again after 22 years.
After He Zizhen left, ** was still very concerned about her, and asked the staff: "What is He Zizhen's treatment now?" ”
The staff member said: "She works for the Hangzhou Women's Federation, and according to her revolutionary qualifications and work status, she is given the treatment of a deputy provincial level. ”
After hearing this, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's okay." ”
**He has always been very opposed to arranging jobs for relatives and friends, why did he ask He Zizhen about his treatment this time? And why do you say "yes"?
I haven't explained this question, but anyone who knows that history should be able to guess it, mainly for the following reasons.
First, it expresses a sense of gratification.
After all, He Zizhen used to be the wife of ***, and during the most difficult period of ***, she was always by his side, never gave up, and gave *** firm support and comfort.
At the same time, He Zizhen is also the first female party member on Jinggang Mountain, and also the first batch of female comrades on Jinggang Mountain, with deep revolutionary qualifications, not only brave in combat, but also very good organizational skills, and was injured many times during the Long March, and has made outstanding contributions to the Chinese revolution, if she did not insist on going to the Soviet Union back then, it is likely that she will now be in a more important post.
Therefore, she now enjoys the treatment of the deputy provincial level, which can ensure that she has a good guarantee in life, which is naturally very gratifying.
Second, it expresses regret.
He Zizhen left Yan'an in anger, which was also caused by her too strong personality, and the two often quarreled.
In the process of going to the Soviet Union, He Zizhen sent her telegrams many times, hoping that she could go back, but she insisted on refusing, and finally left the Soviet Union, and it was 10 years to go.
As mentioned above, if she had stayed in the country and continued to participate in the revolution, then she would have achieved more than she has achieved now.
Therefore, with a long sigh, there must be some regrets in my heart.
Third, it expresses feelings of self-reproach.
**'s daughter Li Min once asked him, why did he divorce his mother?
** After being silent for a long time, he finally said to Li Min that he was half responsible.
**The "half of the responsibility" should be that they did not communicate effectively during the Yan'an period, there was a misunderstanding between each other, and both sides refused to give in, which led to the later situation.
In fact, both of them regretted it later, and if they could have taken the initiative to reconcile, it is likely that there would have been no tragedies later.
Especially when he saw that He Zizhen had a big problem physically and mentally, he must have been full of self-blame in his heart.
Fourth, he expressed his pity.
After He Zizhen arrived in the Soviet Union, although the conditions in the Soviet Union were much better than those in China, He Zizhen's life was actually not good, and he had to take care of Mao Anying and Mao Anqing, as well as his newborn son, and had to work every day.
What made her even more devastated was that her youngest son died because he was infected with typhoid fever and did not get it in time**, which caused a huge blow to He Zizhen, and he was seriously mentally disturbed, and was even sent to a psychiatric hospital for acceptance**.
Until after returning to China in 1947, He Zizhen originally wanted to meet ***, but when she arrived in Tianjin, she was stopped by some people and did not allow her to meet ***, which undoubtedly made her condition worse.
Later, He Zizhen lived in Shanghai for a long time, and **also specially instructed the then mayor of Shanghai** to give He Zizhen proper care, and the living expenses could be paid out of his manuscript fee.
However, **has been transferred to ** since 1954 and left Shanghai, what happened to He Zizhen's life later, ** is also very concerned.
When we met again on Lushan this time, I found that her spirit was still very bad and she was crying all the time, and she was naturally very uncomfortable, and her heart was full of regret.
This is the complicated relationship between *** and He Zizhen, although the two have long been separated, they still care about each other, and no one has forgotten each other, as Li Min wrote in "My Father***"."Dad, Mom and I, or Dad, I and Mom, the relationship between us and I was constantly and incomprehensibly intertwined, and the three of us were maintained. The things that one person rejoices and three people rejoice, and one person who worries and three people share sorrows, also happen among us all the time. ”
