One day in August 1959, Zhongnanhai broke the tranquility of the past, and among the endless stream of guests, including Deng Yingchao and other important figures, they were smiling and first congratulated *** after entering the venue.
It turned out that it was the chairman's daughter Li Min's big day, and even *** was very happy to drink and celebrate, full of expectations for her daughter's happy life, and also very satisfied with her son-in-law Kong Linghua.
Li Min is the daughter of ***, and her marriage has attracted much attention. When choosing a spouse, she must not only look at the character of the other person, but also make sure that the family background is simple and clear to avoid possible problems in the future.
Kong Linghua is a descendant of an uprising general, and his background is more complicated than that of ordinary people, so before marrying Li Min, he told Li Min about his family situation and carefully asked for her opinion.
What will happen to the descendants of the revolutionary heroes?
In 1935, at the critical moment when Yang Hucheng planned the anti-Japanese action of "forcing Chiang to resist Japan" in Xi'an, Shaanxi, Kong Linghua was born. Kong Linghua's father, Kong Congzhou, was a loyal soldier under Yang Hucheng.
As early as 1931, Kong Congzhou served as the commander of the artillery battalion of the Northern Expeditionary Army of Yang Hucheng, stationed in Nanyang, Henan.
Kong Congzhou, only 25 years old, followed Yang Hucheng to fight in the south and the north, and shined in the Northern Expedition, and was relied on by Yang Hucheng. Since he was the youngest battalion commander in the army, Yang Hucheng even affectionately called him "Battalion Commander Wa".
His wedding banquet was specially sent by the army to pick him up. The friendship between Kong Congzhou and Yang Hucheng is extremely deep, and the "Xi'an Incident" that changed the direction of history is naturally inseparable from Kong Congzhou's participation and dedication.
After the September 18 Incident, Chiang Kai-shek watched the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders wantonly trample on the land of China, and in the face of the cries of thousands of people, he adhered to his policy of "settling the interior before attacking the outside", aimed the spearhead at the workers' and peasants' Red Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and turned a blind eye to the enemy's invasion.
Even in October 1936, he personally arrived in Xi'an and asked the commanders stationed in the city, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, to carry out the task of exterminating the Red Army. However, the patriotism of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng did not allow fratricidal warfare at home, and they resolutely refused Chiang Kai-shek's order and chose to resist Japanese aggression together.
Zhang Xueliang was even more bold and outspoken, saying to Chiang Kai-shek: "Now we should stop the civil war and jointly resist Japan." ”
Kong Congzhou and Kong Linghua's ideas were contrary to those of Chiang Kai-shek, who even asked Chiang Dingwen to serve as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Northwest Bandit Army to fight against the Red Army.
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, having been rejected by Chiang Kai-shek many times, decided to take a risky action and implement the last plan: to carry out military advice.
Kong Congzhou's swift action led to the disarming of Chiang's troops in Xi'an, and the city's cadres at all levels surrendered and were imprisoned. Chiang Kai-shek was intercepted by Kong Congzhou's troops on the way to escape and was forced to agree to the request of "uniting the Communist Party to resist Japan".
Although this operation brought great benefits to the Chinese Communist Party and the people in the anti-Japanese situation, Chiang Kai-shek was a narrow-minded man, and he would not easily let go of Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and other cadres.
Kong Congzhou and his wife, Zhang Xueliang, were secretly placed under house arrest after they sent him back to Nanjing, and did not regain their freedom until fifty-one years later. Yang Hucheng was also imprisoned on trumped-up charges on the eve of liberation.
After the "Xi'an Incident", Kong Congzhou was raided by Chiang Kai-shek. But he escaped, began a long life of exile with his family, and recognized the true face of the Kuomintang, and finally in 1946, he led his troops to revolt, surrendered to the People's Liberation Army, and participated in the battle.
Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he confronted the Kuomintang reactionaries because of Kong Congzhou's "mutiny", and immediately sent a large number of troops to arrest Kong Congzhou's family. In the dire situation, Kong Congzhou left his family in the territory of the Kuomintang, and Hu Zongnan, after receiving the order, carried out a carpet search.
However, thanks to the secret protection of our party, Kong Congzhou's wife and Kong Linghua and others successfully avoided the surveillance of the Kuomintang.
This story tells the story of Kong Linghua and his family as they went through all kinds of hardships and dangers on their way to seek the safety of the revolution. In order to protect the families of revolutionaries, they constantly changed their identities and names, and even endured the pain of being bullied.
Among them, Kong Linghua fell down due to excessive fatigue during a chasing interrogation, and his life was in danger. However, his mother searched all the way, found a nearby clinic, and successfully saved his life.
Kong Linghua's sensible and strong performance is the greatest comfort to his father Kong Congzhou's heroic resistance to Japan. He firmly believes that as long as he arrives in Yan'an, he can see his father and everything will be fine.
On the way to Yan'an, although the family suffered all kinds of torture from Chiang Kai-shek, Kong Linghua's belief in his heart was even firmer, that is, the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
In 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, Kong Congzhou was entrusted with important tasks by our party committee because of his outstanding performance in the War of Liberation, and served as "Commander of the Artillery of the Southwest Military Region" and "Minister of Ordnance Department".
The stories of Kong Linghua and Li Min show that without his all-out efforts, the development of China's people's artillery would have been greatly affected. However, when Kong Congzhou learned that Kong Linghua and ***'s daughter Li Min were in love, he did not hesitate to object.
Despite this, Kong Linghua still insisted on his decision, and Li Min did not hesitate to choose him as his lifelong partner. This is mainly because Li Min and Kong Linghua fell in love at first sight, and their relationship was deep and warm.
Their love story is full of passion and sweetness.
After Mao Anying arrived in Yan'an, he walked directly into Beijing Bayi School after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Both descendants of great men, Li Min has a close relationship with Kong Linghua, and Li Min often asks Kong for advice.
Although Kong Linghua is polite, his classmates will laugh at him"Old Master", but Li Min respects it. Since Li Min did not reveal her true identity during school, Kong Linghua answered her questions without reservation, just like helping her classmates.
After a period of contact, Li Min and Kong Linghua gradually developed unusual feelings. They did not rush to confirm the relationship, but focused on their studies, and finally were admitted to Beijing Normal University and Beijing Aeronautical Institute with excellent results in the college entrance examination.
When the time came, they decided to be honest with each other, but they didn't expect that their love would have to go through some tests in the end.
I haven't had time to ask these questions yet! But Linghua talked to me about his father, who was a cadre in the army. ”
The dialogue between Li Min and *** is not that the chairman is too cautious, but that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, reactionary forces at home and abroad were still active and wanted to destroy our hard-won victory.
Those around the chair must be vigilant to avoid being taken advantage of by those who have the heart to do so.
Li Min understood his father's wishes and confessed the truth to Kong Linghua. Kong Linghua was surprised when he learned that she was ***'s biological daughter, but after calming down, he said firmly: "No matter what your identity is, I like you and want to be with you." ”
Kong Linghua also gave Li Min a detailed introduction to his family background. Subsequently, they went to Zhongnanhai together to meet ***.
When the chairman learned that Kong Linghua was the son of Kong Congzhou, a patriotic general of the uprising, he was overjoyed and couldn't help blurting out: "Your father is brave and resolute, and he is a loyal man.
As the saying goes, 'Tiger father has no dog son', I believe you will also have your own achievements. The chairman's words are like promising the marriage of his daughter Li Min and Kong Congzhou. They were so happy that they were eventually invited by the chairman to stay for dinner, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
However, this marriage is not only a decision of the woman, but also needs to be approved by the man's family.
Although *** and Li Min and Kong Linghua nodded in agreement, Kong Congzhou's father's words made Kong Congzhou's mood instantly become heavy. He originally thought that Li Min was just the daughter of an old cadre in Hunan, but now that he heard that the other party was the daughter of ***, he began to feel the complexity of the matter.
Fearing that his special status might cause trouble, he expressed his doubts to ***. However, after learning of Kong Congzhou's thoughts, he replied with his usual composure and reason: "Children are free to love, and we have no right to interfere."
It is our responsibility to make their lives happy, not to limit their choices. As long as they feel happy, it is our greatest happiness. ”
Kong Congzhou happily agreed to his son's marriage to Li Min, and led Li Min to meet relatives and friends. However, the date of the wedding has not been confirmed. At the beginning, He Zizhen felt very relieved when she learned of her daughter's marriage, and warned them: "Now we should focus on studying, and the marriage will be put aside for the time being." ”
After discussion, Li Min and Kong Linghua decided to hold a wedding in the summer of 1959. ** even said: "When the time comes, I will personally officiate the wedding for the couple." ”
Over time, the lives of Kong Linghua, Li Min and He Zizhen gradually stabilized. In August 1959, the chairman could not get out because he presided over the enlarged meeting of the Politburo and the Eighth Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee.
However, he still wrote to Li Min and told her to wait patiently with Kong Linghua. There are very few opportunities for the chairman to officiate at the marriage of his children, and the only time is his eldest son, Mao Anying.
However, Mao Anying's untimely death and burial in a foreign country has become an insurmountable gap in the chairman's heart. Therefore, he attaches great importance to Li Min's marriage and hopes to witness his daughter's happiness with his own eyes.
** In late August, I took time out to return to Zhongnanhai in Beijing from somewhere thousands of miles away. Although Li Min's marriage has decided not to make a big deal, he still took out 400 yuan (old currency) for his daughter's wedding.
On August 29, under the witness of everyone, Li Min and Kong Linghua officially entered the palace of marriage. And Kong Congzhou was able to meet with ***, and the chairman enthusiastically introduced to the people at the scene: "This is Li Min's father-in-law, Kong Linghua's father, Comrade Kong Congzhou." ”
Li Min and Kong Linghua looked at the smiles of the guests with hope, and the future of the two was full of hope. However, life has brought them endless difficulties, and their wish to stay together until the end of the day has not been fulfilled.
On October 27, 1962, in the ward of Zhongnanhai Hospital in Beijing, Kong Linghua nervously waited for his wife, Li Min, to give birth. Finally, a loud cry was heard, and their first child was born.
**After learning the news that his daughter Li Min gave birth, he was also very happy, he said: "I didn't expect that I was close to old age and could have grandchildren." He has high hopes for his grandson Kong Jining.
However, the chairman did not have time to enjoy the family because Li Min and Kong Linghua had to move out of Zhongnanhai and live in an ordinary house in Beijing's Terracotta Hutong. Before they left, ** reluctantly grabbed Li Min and said, "Jiaowa, why do you want to go?"
I want to see you and Linghua from time to time. Li Min also felt very sad when she heard this, but she had to move out, so she had to promise to come back to visit her father often.
Li Min and Kong Linghua began to live independently, trying to deal with daily chores. However, things did not go as they wanted, and they could only helplessly send Kong Jining to He Zizhen to take care of them, while they themselves devoted themselves to their work.
Li Min once considered telling his father about the difficulties he was facing, but considering the great opportunities of ***, he finally gave up the idea. It wasn't until later, when their financial situation became untenable, that Li Min wrote to *** to explain the situation.
After seeing the letter, with tears in his eyes, he asked Zhang Yaoci to give 8,000 yuan (old currency) to Li Min's family, and instructed them: "If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me." ”
In 1972, Li Min was pregnant with her second child, but considering the difficulties of the family, she and Kong Linghua decided to terminate the pregnancy. Fortunately, ** stopped them in time, and Kong Dongmei was born smoothly.
With the financial assistance of ***, Li Min and Kong Linghua survived that difficult period, and their children also spread their wings and devoted themselves to their own careers. However, just as they were about to enjoy their family, misfortune struck.
In 1999, Kong Linghua suffered a car accident, and although he was rescued by the hospital, he eventually passed away. His departure made Li Min deeply saddened, and his longing for his father became more and more intense.
The enthusiasm and enlightenment of her children helped Li Min to lift herself from the grief of losing her loved ones, enrich her life with charity and literary activities, shoulder the expectations of her father and husband, and face life bravely.
Kong Linghua and Li Min's love has always been innocent and flawless, but the parting of life and death made Li Min deeply sad. However, the fond memories they spent together became the strength for Li Min to face life strongly, allowing her to move on.
