On February 3, 1949, on the main street in the middle of Beiping City, people held flowers and welcomed the arrival of the People's Liberation Army with smiles, and slogans such as "Long live the Communist Party of China" and "Long live the Chinese People's Liberation Army" echoed in the streets and alleys.
The peaceful liberation of this important city is the only example of the War of Liberation, and it is also a significant stroke in history. Although people widely praise General Fu Zuoyi's contribution to taking the initiative to choose a peaceful uprising, in fact, there is another person behind this, he is Fu Zuoyi's daughter Fu Dongju.
Different from the line chosen by his father, Fu Dongju chose to join the Communist Party and stood on the opposite side of his father. So, what is Fu Dongju's final ending?
Fu Zuoyi: Hero of the peaceful liberation of Beiping, the iron-blooded general of the anti-Japanese battlefield, Fu Zuoyi, known as the great hero of the liberation of Beiping, his anti-Japanese appeal and personal command of the battle, so that he is known to everyone throughout the country.
Although Fu Zuoyi did not agree with our party's ideas during the War of Liberation, this could not hide his talent and contributions. His eldest daughter, Fu Dongju, is also an outstanding woman, although she chose a completely different path from her father, her life is also full of meaning.
When Fu Dongju was 15 years old, it was during the difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and she was extremely sad to see her family and country being devastated by the war. At that time, children were always very sensible, and Fu Dongju never complained about the troubles in life like her mother, so that Fu Dongju's mother couldn't guess her daughter's mind for a long time.
After Fu Dongju followed her mother to the rear of Chongqing University, she entered Nankai Middle School, received ideological enlightenment, and joined the Horn Society, a youth organization organized by the Communist Party.
Here, she met many like-minded friends and recognized the true face of the Kuomintang. At that time, her father Fu Zuoyi went to Chongqing to visit her, and Fu Dongju often complained to her father about some Kuomintang scandals.
She believes that her father has wasted his talent by doing things for the national **. Although Fu Zuoyi has never expressed any opinion on his daughter's words, as a child, how could Fu Zuoyi not understand what she saw clearly?
Perhaps, it was Fu Dongju's words that planted some kind of seed in his father's heart.
Fu Dongju, a 23-year-old woman, joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1947 and embarked on a different path from her father. Although she may have received more help from her father, she is convinced that she made the right choice.
Before the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Fu Zuoyi did not know her special identity. This allowed her to stay by Fu Zuoyi's side and secretly promote the smooth liberation of Beiping. Fu Dongju used his identity to transmit information.
In 1948, the offensive of the People's Liberation Army was like a tide, the Kuomintang was defeated and retreated, and our army soon approached the city of Beiping. At this time, Fu Zuoyi was already difficult to ride a tiger. **After careful analysis, it is believed that although Fu Zuoyi has the status of a high-ranking general in the Kuomintang, the contradiction between him and Chiang Kai-shek is not small.
The general trend of the Kuomintang has gone, and it is extremely likely that Fu Zuoyi will be won over. However, he has hundreds of thousands of troops at his disposal, and if he fails in his efforts, he may inflict huge losses on our side.
Therefore, we decided to use both soft and hard means to put pressure on Fu Zuoyi. So, in November, after careful consideration, Fu Dongju was transferred to Beiping.
Fu Zuoyi was restless about the war, and the arrival of his daughter gave him long-lost relief, which made the atmosphere of the mansion instantly lively. Although Fu Dongju was also very happy to see her father, she clearly knew that she was responsible and related to the fate of Beiping.
Fu Dongju's arrival made Fu Zuoyi talk to her for a long time, and Fu Zuoyi was full of confusion about the future at this time, and his words also revealed some worries. Fu Dongju sensed her father's emotions and knew his difficulties, but she still asked with concern, "What difficulties does Dad have?"
Why are you so worried? However, Fu Zuoyi just shook his head, after all, his daughter is not a party member and has nothing to do with these things, so why let her worry about herself?
Therefore, Fu Zuoyi did not disclose any information.
Fu Zuoyi said to his daughter Fu Dongju: "Are there any Communists around you?" Fu Dongju replied: "I have a few Communist friends, but I cut off contact with them after I returned." ”
Fu Zuoyi told her: "The people around you may be fake Communist Party, and there are many impostors in the military command, you have to be careful." Finally, he added: "When you go home, be careful if there is anyone following you, the military commander's spies are very powerful." ”
Fu Dongju promised him that he would be careful. Fu Zuoyi's words showed Fu Dongju that he was not without the idea of uprising, but just needed an opportunity. Fu Dongju decided to take care of his father's emotions first, and was not in a hurry to reveal his identity and purpose.
She often cooks hometown dishes for her father, and often tells her father about the past, so as to temporarily calm Fu Zuoyi's emotions, especially when Fu Zuoyi is in a mental struggle, Fu Dongju often accompanies him, comforting him while losing no time in conveying the policies of the Communist Party to him.
In addition, she also used her special identity to smuggle important information out of Beiping and pass it on to Wang Hanbin, Cui Yueli and others through Zhou Yi. Fu Zuoyi's every move and subtle emotional changes, we are all well aware.
Even his sighs and suicidal thoughts as he thinks about them are all clear to us. Therefore, Fu Dongju's work performance has been highly affirmed by our party.
Although Fu Zuoyi once doubted his daughter's identity, when Fu Dongju denied it, he did not investigate further. However, as time went by, Fu Zuoyi's psychological pressure became more and more intense, and he had to find his daughter to confide in his inner pain, because Fu Zuoyi had been closely watched by Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist Party at this time, and the pressure he was under was like a thousand pounds.
However, he could not confide in the others around him, because he could not determine who Chiang Kai-shek had installed as a spy. At this time, Fu Dongju became the only person he could trust.
When the general trend of the Kuomintang was gone and the communist soldiers were approaching the city, Fu Dongju bravely suggested to his father: "Dad, the Kuomintang has lost the support of the people, why don't you choose to turn to the Communist Party?" ”
Fu Zuoyi was very surprised by his daughter's sudden proposal, but his daughter's firm belief and expectation of national independence and reunification made him think. Fu Dongju continued: "Now the situation is very obvious, the people support and support the Communist Party, if there is an uprising, not only can it be avoided, but also the country can achieve independence and reunification as soon as possible." ”
Hearing his daughter's persuasion, Fu Zuoyi began to hesitate, but the question in his heart still existed: "Dong Ju, are you really not a communist?" Fu Dongju smiled and replied, "I don't have that qualification yet." ”
Under the persuasion of his daughter, Fu Zuoyi finally decided to negotiate with the Communist Party in order to avoid bloodshed and peacefully liberate Beiping.
Fu Zuoyi never imagined that he would come to this point, after all, in the early days of the war, he did not envision completely throwing himself into the Communist Party. However, after careful consideration, he decided to propose to the Communist Party to convene a political consultative conference.
However, he feared that handing the telegram directly to *** would attract the attention of Chiang Kai-shek and might even be convicted of "treason". So, he needed a trustworthy person to forward this telegram to ***
Considering that there might be military commanders lurking around him, Fu Zuoyi felt a lot of headaches. In this case, he had to pin his hopes on his daughter Fu Dongju.
After learning the news of his father, Fu Dongju was very happy. She understood that if her father continued to resist, he could end up dying on the battlefield. However, if Beiping can be liberated peacefully, not only can the safety of my father be ensured, but also the peaceful liberation of Beiping.
Under the impetus of Fu Dongju, the two sides soon began negotiations. In the end, as a staff member, I succeeded in convincing Fu Zuoyi so that Peking could be liberated peacefully.
After the liberation of Beiping, Fu Zuoyi became the guest of honor and was known as a great hero. His daughter Fu Dongju also worked silently and became a reporter for Tianjin's "Progress**", and became a war correspondent after the newspaper was suspended.
She is diligent and conscientious wherever she is. For health reasons, she stayed in the people** to work. At the same time, she used her special status to make great contributions to the country's ** work.
She actively contacted the children of high-ranking Kuomintang generals and persuaded them to return to the mainland of the motherland, and she also spoke out in the newspapers to help the great cause of the motherland's reunification. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she maintained a frugal life, her furniture has not been replaced since she got married, and the old house has been repaired and lived in for decades.
Under her influence, the children also developed the habit of frugality. After retiring, most of her pension was used to buy medicine, but she still saved money to donate to Project Hope.
Fu Dongju, a woman who always puts the country first and almost never thinks about herself. She couldn't even get the money to buy a house during the housing reform. But she never complained, but instead followed her father's example and donated all her property to the state, and even on her deathbed, did not leave any personal belongings.
Her three daughters have all succeeded in their studies and contributed to the development of the country under her tutelage. Fu Dongju built two Hope Primary Schools with all his property, hoping that future generations can remember the revolutionary hardships of their ancestors, and at the same time hope that the country can become more prosperous and strong.
She is so selfless, so tenacious, so great, that she deserves the admiration of all of us.
