On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, an atmosphere of joy permeated the whole country, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of a new eraThis is also the busiest period for the leaders.
Only every morning, when the yard is the cleanest, when I am free, I will go to Mr. Zhu next door to chat and take a walk.
One day, before I walked to the door, I heard that Mr. Zhu seemed to be talking to someone, and the voice seemed to be a little familiar, and the chairman said to himself in his heart: "Could it be him?" ”
**Walked forward quickly, and as soon as I entered, I saw the figure standing next to Mr. Zhu, and the corners of his mouth raised a smileIt's the guy I was thinking about just now.
So *** deliberately pretended not to know, and asked seriously:"Yo! Boss, who is this, why haven't I seen it? ”The other party heard the chairman's joke and responded very cooperatively:"The chairman and noble man are so forgetful, I am Bo Bai Zhu Guang! ”
**As if he suddenly remembered, he said with a little sourness"Ah, Zhu Guang, since you know me, why didn't you come to see me first? The first one to run to the boss, aren't you afraid that I will forget you? ”
Who is this Zhu Guang? can talk and laugh with Mr. Zhu, like an old friend, and even make *** feel "jealous"?
Seeing *** like this, Zhu Guang did not back down, responded: "My boss and I are always in our own family, it turned out to be a 'mountain', as for you, the chairman, you will definitely not be able to forget it." ”
**Curious, he asked Zhu Guang: "How do you say this?" Zhu Guang smiled slyly and said, "Because I haven't performed a drama for you yet!" ”After listening to Mr. Zhu, he invariably remembered a past incident that happened in Yan'an, and then laughed.
Good you Zhu Guang, how can you have half a point'Jiangnan Genius'The appearance of the flim tongue. * calmed down for a while, pointed at Zhu Guang and teased.
"Jiangnan Genius" is the nickname given to Zhu Guang, but Zhu Guang, as a top student of Guangzhou National University, is indeed worthy of this title.
In 1906, Zhu Guang was born in a small landowner family in Bobai, GuangxiAlthough he didn't worry about eating or drinking, his mother and father died when Zhu Guang was 7 and 11 years old respectively.
Without a pillar of support, his family gradually fell into ruins, and Zhu Guang, who was originally studying, had to drop out of school, but his thirst for knowledge was not diminished at allI still practice painting and reading books at home.
During this period, he also practiced a stunt, that is, he was able to write with both hands at the same time, and his relatives saw that there was such a "potential stock", so they extended a helping handsent Zhu Guang to study with Wang Li, a scholar in the same county.
Mr. Wang Li later became a famous Chinese linguist and educator, known as:"The Founder of Modern Chinese Linguistics".。With such an excellent teacher to guide him, Zhu Guang's progress can be described as rapid.
Finally, the hard work paid offWhen Zhu Guang was 14 years old, he was enrolled in Bobai County Junior High SchoolHowever, in that era of change, it was not easy to read a book for a few years.
Not long after entering school, the spark of revolution came over, and young people all wanted to pursue progress, so it was a little bit of a point, and Zhu Guang was no exception.
Under the influence of progressive ideas, Zhu Guang and some of his classmates participated"Teacher Selection Campaign"., jointly oppose the oppression of principals and teachers, and demand the change of the old and backward education system.
After all, the wrist couldn't break the thigh, and it didn't take longZhu Guang was expelled from school, helplessly, the relatives had to send him again in the second yearYulin No. 2 Senior High SchoolContinue your studies.
Here, Zhu Guang met another teacher who had a significant impact on his future life - Zhu Xi'an. Zhu Xi'an, who was also a native of Guangxi and a talented man in the late Qing Dynasty, joined the League in 1911 and participated in the famous Huanghuagang Uprising.
After that, he was sent back to Guangxi to be responsible for running schools and recruiting soldiers, and in 1925, inYun DaiyingUnder the influence and introduction, Zhu Xi'an joined the Communist Party of ChinaHe became the early main leader of the party organization in Guangxi.
When Zhu Guang came to Yulin to go to school, Zhu Xi'an happened to be the principal of the No. 2 Middle School, and the active students met the positive principal, which can be described as a pair of "made in heaven", and it didn't take longZhu Guang was introduced to the Chinese Communist Youth League.
A year after joining the regiment, that is, in 1927, Zhu Guang was successfully admitted to the National University in Guangzhou, and it was in the university that Zhu Guang officially embarked on the road to revolution.
After becoming a college student, Zhu Xi'an began to deliberately cultivate Zhu Guang, let him serve as a member of the Guangzhou Communist Youth League Committee, and gradually arranged for Zhu Guang to organize the task.
In this year, the Kuomintang reactionaries also created a "white terror" throughout the country, and on December 11 of the same year, it was led by Ye Ting and **Canton UprisingErupt.
Zhu Guang decisively gathered hundreds of classmates and joined the ranks of the rebel army, and Zhu Guang, who was good at writing and painting, also personally designed the red ribbon of the rebel army.
As the saying goes: it is easy to win the world, but it is difficult to defend the worldAlthough the Guangzhou Uprising successfully occupied the city, in the face of a steady stream of enemy reinforcements, the rebel troops could only take the initiative to withdraw, and Zhu Guang was also pursued by the Kuomintang reactionaries.
After several rounds, Zhu Guang was taken over by the party organization in Shanghai, and used his status as a college student to set up an art drama club, which was actually a liaison station for underground workers in Shanghai.
In 1930, Zhu Guang successfully joined the Communist Party of ChinaTwo years later, with the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, Zhu Guang also evacuated to the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet District with the party organization and served as the secretary general of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army.
However, it was during this period that Zhu Guang provoked a famous figure - Zhang Guotao. At this time, Zhang Guotao was the person in charge of the Red Fourth Front Army and the actual leader of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region.
Zhang Guotao not only vigorously carried out the "anti-rebellion" campaign in the ranks of the Red Army, but also adhered to his erroneous viewpoint, believing that the Red Army should go head-to-head with the Kuomintang troopsSuch "left-leaning" ideas brought great disaster to the ranks of the Red Army.
On December 8, 1932, the Red Fourth Front Army, which had retreated to Guxian County, ShaanxiA meeting was held in the village of XiaohekouThe main discussion is the question of how the team should develop after evacuating from the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area.
At this meeting, Zhu Guang and several other division commanders questioned Zhang Guotao's command, and although Zhang Guotao accepted criticism at the meeting and agreed to correct it for the sake of face, the flame of revenge had already been planted in Zhang Guotao's heart.
In 1933, as soon as the team stabilized, Zhang Guotao took advantage of the "rebellion".arrested Zhu Guang and others, they were forced to sign a "voluntary surrender" in custody, admitting the alleged "mistake".
And Zhu Guang was not tortured a lot because of his good handwriting and superb drawing skills, he could draw maps and print leaflets.
Soon after, the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" failed, and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was forced to shift its strategy and began the Long MarchZhu Guang and other comrades, their feet were shackled, and they embarked on the journey in this way.
Climbing snowy mountains and crossing grasslands, ordinary soldiers can't stand it, let alone Zhu Guang, who has limited movement and mimeographed tools on his backBut it was with his belief in the revolution and loyalty to the party that Zhu Guang gritted his teeth and survived.
His ankles were shackled and slashed, blood mixed with mud, just looking at it made people feel pain to the bone marrow, Zhu Guang in such a situation is still contributing to the team, and he meticulously draws as detailed maps as possible for his comrades.
Finally, Zhu Guang did not fall behind, followed the army to successfully reach northern Shaanxi, and was imprisoned for another year, until Zhang Guotao was kicked out of the leadership, Zhu Guang was rehabilitated and released.
Zhu Guang, who came out of the confinement room, was rearranged by the organization, and was later recommended by ***, who met during the Guangzhou UprisingBecame the secretary of the **, Mr. Zhu quickly admired this smart and talented young man.
Because I am often by Mr. Zhu's side,I also know Zhu Guang's name, the chairman's knowledge, calligraphy, and poetry are wonderful, and Zhu Guang is very chatty, and the two often talk together, talk about the past and the present, and become good friends.
At first, Zhu Guang was in awe of the difference in position, but after getting acquainted with it, he became more and more openSometimes it's just "indulgence".
The two of them used to quarrel and shout for a few books, and they didn't give in to each other, and the aforementioned Zhu Guang wanted to perform a drama for ***, which was a promise made during this period.
In 1938, she was also a ** secretary and a famous female writer who also served as a reporter with the armyShu Qun, After participating in the Battle of Pingxingguan, he returned to Yan'an, was introduced by Zhu Guang, and met ***
Shu Qun knew that *** loved reading, and as soon as he entered the room, he mysteriously took out a package from his armsWhen opened, there were four copies of Shakespeare's plays, as well as two volumes of calligraphy and calligraphy.
Unexpectedly, before *** could speak, the sharp-eyed Zhu Guang quickly snatched away the four plays, and didn't forget to say: "These are mine, and you can share the rest." ”
When he came back to his senses, he didn't care about being reserved, and slapped the table: "Why do you look like a bandit!" ”Zhu Guang smiled: "As the saying goes, those who see have a share, I used to be engaged in art, and I also opened a drama club, Shakespeare does not belong to me, and heaven is intolerable." ”
did not back down: "If the person who sees has a share, it must be divided equally, Shakespeare, you have two copies and I have two copies, and you have one copy and I have one copy, so it's decided." ”
That's not good, you love to write, and you like to compose poems, two copies of the notebook are just useful, and the other four I will take first, and I will change them when you have practiced. ”Zhu Guang continued to refute.
Seeing the other party playing a scoundrel, ** couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and said, "Okay, okay, you can just take it, but I have a request."When you're done, you're going to give me a performance of Othello! (one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies)".
Zhu Guang didn't think about it, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Don't say it, the four major tragedies, the four major comedies can be performed for you once, since you agreed, I want to take it?" ”
"Now that you're asking about me, I won't let you, will you listen? ”was laughed at angrily again, waved his hand and pretended to drive Zhu Guang away, indicating that he was out of sight and out of mind.
**The friendship with Zhu Guang was maintained until the endBefore the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Guang, then secretary of the Changchun Municipal Party Committee, was transferred to Guangzhou, passing through Beijing, I thought about visiting *** and Mr. Zhu, and then the story at the beginning of the article happened.
Zhu Guang and the two old leaders, who are also old friends, recalled a lot of past events, and it was finally time to say goodbyewrote "Seven Laws: The Long March" again, gave it to Zhu Guang, and inscribed it for him:
"It is my hope to go to the south and unite with the comrades who used to work in the south to do a good job in the south. ”
Zhu Guang also wrote a poem for Ying He:
Four years of wind and clouds to the north, the difficult trek is ashamed.The American writer Wells once recalled in "The Continuation of the Westward Journey":"There are two talented people in the Red Army, one is Liao Chengzhi and the other is Zhu Guang. ”Now that I am a returnee from the south, I feel affectionate when I look back at the mountains and rivers.
Zhu Guang can paint, write poetry, calligraphy, acting, can rehearse plays, can be called all-rounder, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, served as the mayor of Guangzhou, presided over for 11 years, remarkable results, also known as"Yangcheng Painter".
In 1953, when he visited Guangzhou, Zhu Guang once again stood beside the chairman, and the old friends met, but there was no excitement in the past.
**Looking at the Pearl River, I didn't know what I was thinking, and then suddenly turned my head and asked Zhu Guang:"How old are you this year? ”Zhu Guang also replied plainly: "47." ”
"I'm still young, I have to work hard, and I will definitely make a lot of achievements in the future. ”Emotionally said, this is not only an encouragement to old friends, but also may be a great man's consolation to himself, time flies, the prime of life is no more, and New China will definitely be able to "produce talented people"!
On March 9, 1969, Comrade Zhu Guang died of illness in Hefei, Anhui Province, at the age of 63.
