Everyone is no stranger to the ** marshal, but he has an only son named Zhu Qi who has experienced ups and downs in his life, and he may be little known. Zhu Qi was separated from his parents since he was a child, went through hardships, and went to the battlefield to serve the country as an adult, but ended up disabled.
Although he later found a good partner, unfortunately, he died young in the prime of life, which made ** heartbroken: "You shouldn't hide it from me, his death is too regrettable......"Why is Zhu Qi's life so miserable?
How did he find his wife, and under what circumstances did he die suddenly? What kind of bitterness is hidden behind the heartache of **?
* Born in 1909, he encountered many difficulties and setbacks at a young age. He once joined the League and Jiangwutang, and also met his wife Xiao Jufang at that time, the two fell in love and were like-minded, and successfully gave birth to a boy named Zhu Qi after marriage.
However, the peaceful life did not last long, the turbulent times and poor medical conditions led to Xiao Jufang dying of fever 4 months after giving birth. The biological mother of the child Zhu Qi passed away, and his father ** was fighting with soldiers outside all the year round and could not be taken with him, so Zhu Qi was placed in Luzhou foster care.
At that time, Zhu Qi was only 8 years old, and his impression of his father was vague and distant.
Zhu Qi's childhood was warmed by his stepmother's love, and despite his ill-fated fate, he has always cherished the dream of serving the country under the inspiration of the Eighth Route Army. However, in 1937, he was arrested by the Kuomintang and lost contact with his family, ** deeply anxious, but because the Anti-Japanese War was in full swing, he could not find his son in person.
Fortunately, not long after, news came that Zhu Qi was in Long Yun's troops. **Anxious, but ***'s help allowed him to find his son. Although the father and son have been separated for many years, the appearance of his son has long been blurred, but he firmly believes that as long as there is love in his heart, he will be able to find a solution to the problem.
He stroked the "tethered horse pillar" in Zhu Qi's right ear, and was pleasantly surprised to recognize that this was his son, so he gave him the nickname "Baozhu". The father and son were naturally overjoyed when they reunited.
However, he did not keep his son by his side, but chose to let him enter the ** Party School to study, and then sent him to the anti-Japanese front line in North China. He was advised not to put his only son in such a dangerous situation, but he replied firmly: "I am the commander-in-chief, if my son does not go to the front, who will go to the front?" ”
Zhu Qi also had the ambition to serve the country, and he rushed to the front in every battle, and did not retreat from the front line until he was disabled by a bullet in the leg. After that, he worked in the seventh branch of Kang University, although he was not on the front line, he still contributed to the anti-Japanese war.
Zhu Qi's work at Kang Da is going well, but he has never been married, and because of his disability, he is worried that his situation will drag others down. He summoned up the courage to confess to a young revolutionary woman, Zhao Liping, but was rejected twice.
Although Zhao Liping did not dislike his disability, she felt that she was not worthy of the son of a commander-in-chief like Zhu Qi. However, Zhu Qi did not give up because he was rejected.
He is honest, down-to-earth and hardworking, has a good personality, never shows off his family background, and eats and wears the same as everyone else on weekdays. The most important thing is that he is very dedicated, and he didn't like anyone else for three years, even if he was rejected by Zhao Liping, he didn't change.
His persistence finally moved Zhao Liping, and the two finally came together.
True love doesn't need to care about the identity gap, Zhao Liping deeply felt his friendship and charm in the process of getting along with Zhu Qi, and had a good impression of her. However, the difference in family background has become an obstacle between the two, although Zhu Qi made it clear that he is just a farmer and has no family background to speak of, Zhao Liping still can't let go.
In the end, ** and Kang Keqing couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that although the personalities of these two people were a little awkward, they were a match made in heaven, so they found **. At that time, ** was the commander of the Jinsui Military Region, and he was relatively close, so he called the two to him, asked about the situation between them, and asked if the marriage was likely to be successful.
Zhu Qi is deeply in love with Zhao Liping, but he is worried about putting pressure on her, so he has been silent. Although Zhao Liping did not speak, the shyness on his face was also obvious.
* Seeing this scene, he thought that the two of them were very suitable, so he pushed the boat down the river and decided their marriage. Although Zhao Liping was still a little pressured, she knew that the ** couple agreed with this marriage, so they no longer went against their will.
In 1946, ** personally officiated for their wedding, ** and the couple were very happy when they learned about it. According to tradition, after getting married, Zhu Qi and his wife needed to go to Xibaipo to meet their parents, but due to the turbulent situation at that time and the great pressure of the revolution, they were incorporated into the land reform group and worked in Hebei for a year before they had time to set off.
After the end of the land reform in 1948, Zhao Liping and his wife officially set off. Originally, Zhao Liping felt a lot of pressure on this relationship, but to her surprise, the ** couple behaved extremely approachable, without the majesty of the superiors, only the love and care of the elders.
Slowly, Zhao Liping began to call ** "Daddy" closely. Of course, Zhao Liping did not forget Zhu Qi's biological mother, and once searched for Xiao Jufang's grave with others to pay respects.
However, the chaotic situation of that era, the wolf smoke and the fickle situation on the ground led to the failure of the search, which became a big regret for Zhu Qi and his wife. But in any case, they had a great time together.
Zhu Qi faced a heavy choice in 1948, whether to continue to be promoted in the army or to start from scratch in the railway bureau. Although the future of the army is bright, ** believes that Zhu Qi lacks technical knowledge and cannot directly manage others, so he can only start from the grassroots level.
Although this choice made Kang Keqing feel distressed, because Zhu Qi was in his 30s and had a disability, she couldn't oppose ** and Zhu Qi's decision, and could only watch Zhu Qi be promoted from a trainee to a railway driver step by step.
When he learned that his son was able to drive a train, he was so happy that he even went to visit him once. After that visit, my colleagues learned that Zhu Qi, who was usually extremely low-key, was actually the son of the ** commander-in-chief.
Some people may think that Zhu Qi will be promoted smoothly all the way after his identity is exposed, but the reality is the opposite, Zhu Qi has worked hard for many years to become the director of the Railway Bureau.
However, he did not stay in this position for long, first studying at the Wuqi Cadre School, and then being transferred to work at a station in Tianjin, which perfectly illustrates what it means to "go all the way".
Due to his dedication to work and frequent high-intensity labor, Zhu Qi later suffered from heart disease.
On June 10, 1974, Zhao Liping left home from work, and her husband Zhu Qi chatted with a colleague at home. Soon after, when Zhao Liping returned home, he found that Zhu Qi had died, due to the sudden deterioration of his condition and leaving no last words.
Kang Keqing and the others felt extremely sad, but considering the physical condition of **, they did not immediately tell him the truth. In the end, ** realized that the situation was wrong, and Kang Keqing had to tell him that Zhu Qi suddenly fell ill and was sent to the hospital.
For the next 10 days, Kang Keqing kept using this excuse to cover up the truth. However, as time passed, she realized that she could no longer hide it, so she confessed to ** the news that Zhu Qi had died.
After learning the news, **'s mental state decreased significantly, but he didn't say much.
When he learned the news of Zhu Qi's death, he burst into tears and said, "You shouldn't hide it from me." He regretted losing him at such a young age: "It's a shame that he was highly educated and left like this......."These two short sentences made everyone present cry, and Zhao Liping cried even more, like a child.
Kang Keqing comforted Zhao Liping while crying. Of all the people present, ** was probably the most painful. This is not only because Zhu Qi is his only son, but also because he owes too much to this son in his heart.
His love for the country and its people, as well as his indebtedness to his children, are deeply engraved in his heart.
* Regrets, no resentments for life. Why do you owe so much to Zhu Qi? Maybe it's because he has the ability to give the child everything he wants. Born in a peasant family in Sichuan, he stood out with his outstanding talent in his early years, and became a military instructor of the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall in 1912, and was appointed as the brigade commander of the Yunnan Army in 1917.
Since then, he has served as the commander of the military police of the Yunnan Army, the chief of the Yunnan Police Department and the chief of the provincial police department, and can provide a comfortable life for his family and accompany them.
However, full of faith in his heart, he loved the country and the people deeply, and finally chose communism and the most difficult path.
In addition to these, ** could have not sent Zhu Qi to the front line, if that was the case, Zhu Qi would not have been disabled at a young age. He can let his son and daughter-in-law transfer their jobs through formal channels, so that they will not be separated for a long time.
According to Zhao Liping, the work life of separating from her husband was really hard, and they could only see each other once a week in Beijing and Tianjin. Later, Zhu Qi was sent to the Tianjin Railway Bureau, and the number of meetings between the couple increased, but they still needed to return to Beijing from time to time, because the ** couple and children were there.
Later, Zhu Qi died, and it was suggested that Zhao Liping be transferred back to Beijing. However, after hearing about it, he rejected the offer. On the one hand, he was adamantly opposed to special treatment; On the other hand, Zhao Liping has been working in Tianjin for many years, and her friends are all there, and she may feel strange and uncomfortable if she is transferred back at this time.
* The life of the family is relatively poor, and it is said that "Chen Liu Zhu" is **, and ** is the three poorest of the top leaders. The reason is that there are many family members, and there are many relatives who need help, and at the same time, they have high self-requirements and never receive subsidies from the ** office.
What's more worth mentioning is that ** took the initiative to lower his salary and should have received a first-level salary, but he actually received a fourth-level salary, which was only more than 400 yuan per month.
The marshal's allowances were never received, and he believed that he was no longer in the army and should not receive his salary in the same way as a military cadre.
* On his deathbed, the marshal decided to give the party most of his hard-earned savings as party dues. At the same time, his household belongings were also **, and the only things left for his family were the books he bought with his own salary and the books issued by the state.
All this proves the selflessness and greatness of the marshal, his spirit is admirable and should be passed on by us. Although he feels guilty about his children, he has no regrets about his past choices.
He respects his sons' decision, whether it is to join the army or transfer jobs, it is their own choice.
If we compare the brilliance of ** to the vast sun, then the brilliance of Zhu Qi is a soft candle flame. We may not be able to be the sun, but we can all learn to flame candles and illuminate others with our own light and heat.
Let us use this encouragement to inherit the spirit of sacrifice and dedication, and imprint the patriotic will deeply in our blood and bones, which will never be erased.
