Jinggangshan is not only an important milestone of the Chinese revolution, but also of special significance. Here, he created a new revolutionary road for the countryside to surround the city, and also met his close comrade-in-arms He Zizhen, who had accompanied him for ten years.
** He Zizhen has a deep affection, although they are separated from each other, they are always heart-to-heart. Even though she is in Shenyang, ** still pays attention to He Zizhen's recent situation, and after learning that she is unemployed, she even said touching words.
Let's explore the love story between *** and He Zizhen. He Zizhen, from a squire family in Yongxin, Jiangxi, is well-educated. In 1925, she was exposed to communist ideas at Yongxin Girls' School, which opened up a new world for her and gave her hope for the future.
At the age of 16, He Zizhen did not hesitate to join the Chinese Communist Youth League and became a member of the Communist Party.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a "counter-revolutionary coup", and the war spread to Yongxin. Many communists and activists in the Yongxin area** were imprisoned, including He Zizhen's brother He Minxue.
After He Zizhen, who was working in Ji'an at the time, got the news, she and her comrades in Ji'an urgently discussed and decided to fight against Chiang Kai-shek through an armed uprising and rescue the comrades of **.
In this battle, He Zizhen was responsible for leading the team to guard the south gate of Yongxin. Although their whole team only had dozens of people, three guns and improvised pike darts, while the enemy had hundreds of them and were equipped with advanced **, but in the face of such a huge gap, He Zizhen did not flinch.
Taking full advantage of the terrain, she firmly held the walls of Yongxin, and finally succeeded in keeping the enemy out of the walls.
In the battle, He Zizhen showed his heroic nature, accurately killed two enemy leaders, and successfully defended his position. Her heroic deeds quickly spread in the Yongxin area, and she was known as the "Yongxin Heroine".
The imprisoned Communists were rescued, but they knew they could no longer gain a foothold in Yongxin. In the end, He Zizhen and others followed Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo's team to Jinggangshan.
At the south gate of Yongxin, He Zizhen fought a shocking battle, and at this moment, ** is also going all out for the revolutionary cause.
In September 1927, the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by ** kicked off in the Hunan and Jiangxi regions of China, and although this far-reaching uprising ended in failure, it paved a new path for the development of the Chinese Red Army in the future.
Due to heavy losses, ** decisively gave up attacking Changsha and turned to Jinggangshan. In Jinggangshan, he met Yuan Wencai and other comrades who had already been stationed here, as well as many heroic revolutionary fighters.
Among these fighters, He Zizhen stands out for her feminine femininity. At first, ** did not pay special attention to He Zizhen, but when Yuan Wencai introduced him to He Zizhen's heroic performance in battle, ** began to appreciate her.
Under the careful arrangement of Yuan Wencai, He Zizhen became the right-hand man of the first class in the Jinggangshan period, and the frequent contact at work increased their communication. In their spare time, they often exchange views on the current situation in China and are amazed by each other's opinions.
The collision of ideas shortened the distance between their hearts, and the comradeship gradually warmed up, giving birth to the seeds of love. After confirming her intentions, ** would go to He Zizhen's window and knock on the window every time she went out, telling her that she was leaving temporarily.
In the revolutionary years of gunfire, **'s care and love for He Zizhen finally won He Zizhen's heart. In his spare time, He Zizhen will deliberately go to catch snails to add some color to the food.
These seemingly ordinary companions, but in the storm of revolution, they are particularly precious and moving. In 1928, He Zizhen and *** officially got married.
However, weddings in those days were very simple, they just prepared some ordinary dishes and invited a few friends to eat together, which was considered a complete wedding.
In 1929, He Zizhen, who followed the Red Fourth Army to Jinggangshan, became the chief of the Confidential Section. In the past ten years, she has experienced countless ups and downs with ***. Although life was not smooth, they still worked hand in hand to actively develop the strength of the Red Army to deal with Chiang Kai-shek's "encirclement and suppression".
These difficulties did not defeat them, but made them stronger and supported each other through difficulties.
In 1934, the Red Army began a difficult Long March in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's fifth "encirclement and suppression". **'s partner, He Zizhen, also joined the team.
For a pregnant soldier in the prime of life, the Long March is undoubtedly a great test. Despite feeling uncomfortable because of her pregnancy, He Zizhen resolutely refused to accept any privileges.
In a difficult environment, she insisted on the same treatment as ordinary fighters, and even rested after caring for the wounded. At the beginning of 1935, He Zizhen gave birth successfully.
At that time, her troops happened to come to Zhuchang Village, Xingyi City, so she was there to take care of the wounded while recuperating.
During the Red Army's Long March, He Zizhen still paid attention to the safety of many wounded after giving birth. After learning that the battle had broken out, she rushed around the battlefield despite her own exhaustion, braving artillery fire, helping to evacuate the wounded with limited mobility.
In order to better help the wounded, she even saved the silver dollars given to her by *** and sold the family heirloom gold bracelet to buy nutritional products to supplement her nutrition. He Zizhen's selfless dedication and tenacity are deeply moving.
He Zizhen finally found a place to hide, however, a cannonball hit again. Although the shell did not directly hit He Zizhen, a wounded person not far from her was unfortunately injured.
The situation was urgent, and He Zizhen did not hesitate to rush towards the wounded man to prevent him from suffering a second injury. The shells were violent, and He Zizhen was hit by the aftermath and fragments and fell in a pool of blood.
Immediately after the battle, she was sent to the Artemisia Chong camp to receive **. The doctor was surprised to find that He Zizhen had 17 shell fragments in his body.
He Zizhen was in an extremely difficult environment, with backward medical equipment, rudimentary surgical tools, and no anesthetics. However, in such an environment, she still had to undergo surgery to remove the shrapnel.
The procedure was extremely painful and she was sweating a lot, but after the operation, she did not forget to thank the doctor. Although the operation was successful, 3 pieces of shrapnel remained in her body and were not removed until her death.
Hearing the news of He Zizhen's injury, ** was deeply worried, he sent most of his guards to He Zizhen, but she resolutely refused to accept it, thinking that ***'s safety was more important than herself, so it was better for the guards to stay by ***'s side.
Although it was not long after giving birth, He Zizhen and *** suffered serious injuries and their physical condition was extremely unfavorable. It was proposed that she stay in the village to recuperate, but *** was adamantly opposed because their enemies were still in hot pursuit.
If she stayed, He Zizhen would most likely be discovered by the enemy, so she would have to follow the Red Army on the road anyway. With her indomitable spirit, He Zizhen endured the weakness and pain of her body, and finally completed the 25,000-mile Long March.
Her deeds are a testament to the tenacity and courage of women in the face of difficulties. After the end of the Long March, in 1936, they arrived together in northern Shaanxi. However, the three shrapnel on He Zizhen's body always made her miserable.
In 1937, He Zizhen embarked on a journey to the Soviet Union with the dream of accepting better ** and pursuing better learning opportunities. Although the chairman wanted her to stay, she was determined that the two could only separate.
So, how did she fare in the USSR? How did she get back to China? Is there a chance for her and *** to see each other again? "Treasure Each Other" unveils this history for you.
After He Zizhen arrived in the Soviet Union, the long-awaited hospital** and enrichment of study did not come as expected, but came one after another. When her son, who was just a few months old, died, Soviet doctors told her that the shrapnel in her body could not be removed, and to her devastation, she was even misdiagnosed as a mentally ill person and sent to a psychiatric hospital.
In 1947, Wang Jiaxiang, the former representative of the Communist Party of China to the Comintern, learned of He Zizhen's plight when he went to the Soviet Union. After his unremitting efforts, He Zizhen was finally freed from the mental hospital.
Wang Jiaxiang sent a telegram to explain He Zizhen's situation, and after the approval of ***, He Zizhen was able to return to China. After returning to China, He Zizhen was arranged to work in Shenyang, and later came to Shanghai due to job transfer.
During her work in Shenyang, she and her daughter wrote a letter to *** to report their situation in Shenyang, and there has been no contact since then.
Is He Zizhen still in Shenyang? Can you help me ask about her? ”
After learning of He Zizhen's condition, Ye Zilong immediately reported to ***. He told *** He Zizhen had moved to Shanghai, but he had not found a job.
** He was very surprised by the news that He Zizhen was not assigned to work, and he couldn't imagine that a person with a strong personality like He Zizhen would be willing not to work. After Ye Zilong's explanation, ** learned that He Zizhen's physical condition was already very bad, and most of the daily work was no longer competent.
Hearing the news, ** felt very sad, and he specially instructed the relevant personnel to take good care of He Zizhen, and all the additional expenses were borne by him.
**When the chairman inspected Shenyang, he always had He Zizhen in mind. And He Zizhen often remembers the years when he fought side by side with ***. In 1954, due to longing and guilt for ***, He Zizhen's condition worsened again.
When *** learned the news, he personally wrote a letter to He Zizhen, encouraging her to protect her body and continue to contribute to the revolutionary cause.
**'s letter is like a shot in the arm, which brought great encouragement to He Zizhen. She thought that *** would blame her for leaving that year, but *** chose to be understanding and tolerant, and promised her a chance to continue working.
This letter rekindled He Zizhen's hope to live, she actively accepted **, and her physical condition also improved significantly.
In 1958, He Zizhen returned to his hometown Jiangxi to recuperate. In 1959, ** went to Lushan, Jiangxi Province for a meeting, and He Zizhen's former comrade-in-arms Zeng Zhi also attended.
After chatting, ** talked about He Zizhen with Zeng Zhi, and was surprised to find that they hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years. Because the positions of the two are not far apart, *** proposed to see He Zizhen.
At the suggestion of ***, the two old friends finally reunited in Lushan after 20 years. When parting, He Zizhen thought that she would soon be able to see *** again, but she never expected that this separation would become a farewell.
**'s death was a huge blow to He Zizhen. It was not until 1979 that He Zizhen became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) that he had the opportunity to come to Beijing to pay tribute to the remains of Chairman *** again.
Although the touching and profound love in Jinggangshan that they wrote in the revolutionary years, although it did not come to the end, this deep longing has not faded with the passage of time.
**During the inspection in Shenyang, he was always concerned about He Zizhen. He Zizhen received a handwritten letter from *** and was full of expectations for life again. They used to be partners who loved each other, and they were comrades-in-arms who trusted each other, and this deep relationship will become more and more firm under the baptism of time.
