**Since the period of the Great Revolution, the Prime Minister has made tremendous efforts for the rejuvenation and independence of the Chinese nation. Although he had no children in his life, this is a well-known fact.
However, in 1937, ** revealed a secret to Comrade ***: he had a son with Comrade Deng Yingchao, but unfortunately died at an early age.
**The mystery of his son's untimely death, exploring the trajectory of his revolutionary career behind it. Since its birth in 1898, he has firmly believed in Marxism and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause together with the older generation of revolutionaries.
After returning from studying in Japan, he studied at Nankai University and became one of the leaders of the May Fourth Movement. How did love in the context of this war give birth to this historical tragedy?
Let's look back on those eventful years together.
In 1921, he joined the Communist Party of China, and three years later, he served as the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, becoming the backbone of the Chinese revolution. During his tenure in the military academy, he relied on his profound reasoning, firm beliefs and personality charm to deliver a large number of new forces to the party organization.
In 1927, ** led a huge strike and uprising of Shanghai workers, and after the success of the uprising, he launched the Nanchang Uprising together with Ye Ting, ** and others.
However, in the case of Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal of the revolution, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was forced to carry out the Long March.
During the period of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, as an important leader of the Communist Party, he always adhered to the correct theory of Comrade ***. Together with other revolutionary predecessors, he pointed out the way and brought hope to the Chinese revolution.
During the Great Revolution, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, ** has been running around for national affairs and military affairs, but has no time to take care of his personal emotional life. Even if they married Comrade Deng Yingchao, they were separated for a long time due to work.
So, what is the concept of love and marriage?
** He once advocated that marriage should be autonomous and free from interference from others. However, after meeting Deng Yingchao, he began to change his opinion. He believes that even if you get married, you should find someone who shares your ideas and beliefs, so that you can be called gay.
During the May Fourth Movement, he met the leaders of the propaganda team and fell in love at first sight. Although the two men were in different regions because of their revolutionary work, their correspondence never stopped.
Through the exchange of letters, their revolutionary ideals became firmer, their theoretical knowledge became richer and richer, and their revolutionary feelings became deeper and deeper.
At the end of the summer of 1924, ** completed his work in France, hoping to reunite with Deng Yingchao as soon as possible after returning to China. Although they are thousands of miles apart, they have endless thoughts and emotional exchanges.
However, when he returned to China, he found that Deng Yingchao had gone to work in Guangdong, and the two had not seen each other for another year. They were finally reunited in August 1925, and at that time, they had already decided on a date for their marriage.
On August 8 of the same year, ** and Deng Yingchao married in Guangzhou and became a pair of revolutionary partners. Their wedding took place at a time when the revolution was in full swing, so it was very simple.
**The love story with Deng Yingchao is touching. The bride, Deng Yingchao, went to greet the groom by herself and did not have anyone to accompany her. Their wedding room was very basic, with only some basic furniture and no other superfluous items.
What makes Deng Yingchao even more distressed is that after five years of separation, ** is thinner than when she first saw her. After returning home, she went to a meeting without having time to see her, which made her feel very aggrieved.
Despite the difficult conditions, they still stick to their love for each other, and this sincere affection is touching.
During the tense period of the revolutionary situation, the wedding of ** and Deng Yingchao adhered to the principle of simplicity and did not inform others. On August 9, after learning of this, some comrades expressed their dissatisfaction with the wedding of ***, thinking that it was too simple.
Therefore, ** specially held a banquet and invited Chen Yannian, He Yingqin and others to participate. At this simple but meaningful banquet, ** and Deng Yingchao thanked the comrades for their arrival and shared their acquaintance and love process.
** The firm revolutionary friendship with Deng Yingchao and the love story formed in the war deeply touched everyone present.
At the banquet, everyone began to make fists and toasts, and the newlyweds became everyone's target. However, Deng Ying is super strong in drinking, and most of the time is *** substitute wine, until late at night, everyone sleeps, and ** has rested until the second half of the night.
The next day, he woke up with a hangover, and he was also in charge of the entrance exam for freshmen at the Whampoa Military Academy that day. It was the last time he got drunk, after which he took charge of revolutionary work with a sober mind.
However, he may not have expected that the misfortune in his marriage to Deng Yingchao was all focused on the children.
After meeting Deng Yingchao, the once staunch celibate*** changed his concept of life. He longs to have the crystallization of love and share the joy of life with his wife Deng Yingchao.
In October 1925, shortly after the wedding, the news of Deng Yingchao's pregnancy made both of them very happy. However, ** was busy with important tasks in the Shantou area at this time and could not accompany Deng Yingchao.
One morning, Deng Yingchao felt a bout of nausea while brushing her teeth, and although she initially thought it was a normal pregnancy reaction, this discomfort lasted all day, making her feel a little complicated.
When Deng Yingchao faced the news of her pregnancy, her heart was full of contradictions and doubts. She was both excited about having a child of her own, but she was also worried that at the critical juncture of the revolution, the child would become a burden and a burden.
With *** not around, she finally decided to buy ** medicine herself and lost her child a week later. After returning to Deng Yingchao at the end of the year, although he was a little angry about her decision, he understood her worries and therefore just told her to rest well and not worry about other things.
At the beginning of the following year, Deng Yingchao was pregnant with a child, and this time *** gave her a reassuring pill in advance, telling her that there should be no more dangerous adventures no matter what. Deng Yingchao also listened to ***'s words, and waited for delivery in the hospital with peace of mind.
However, the delivery in March 1927 was extremely difficult. At that time, the situation in Guangdong was very tense, the reactionary forces were extremely arrogant, and the conditions of the hospital where Deng Yingchao was located were also very limited.
As a result, the child had an accident during the birth process, and the fetal position was abnormal, and the child needed to be removed by coercive means.
After listening to the doctor's advice, Deng Yingchao decided to follow ***'s admonition to her after careful consideration and insisted on giving birth to the child. The doctor tried his best and finally removed the fetus with forceps.
The child was born, it was a boy, and Deng Yingchao felt extremely happy. However, three days and nights later, the baby boy died due to the injury of the surgical instruments, the wound enlarged, and finally passed away under the limitations of medical conditions.
After Deng Yingchao learned the bad news, her heart was like a knife, she didn't know how to convey the news to ***, and she didn't want to see him heartbroken because of it.
Deng Yingchao has just experienced the pain of childbirth, and the child has unfortunately passed away, and he is physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, the Kuomintang reactionaries created a white terror, which threatened the existence of the underground party.
Deng Yingchao's location, whether it was a hospital or a residence, was fully searched. At first, she thought it was a routine KMT inspection, but as the shouting outside grew louder, she also realized the seriousness of the situation.
In order to give her mother a short peace on the hospital bed, Deng Yingchao politely asked her to go downstairs to see the situation. Just as she hurriedly went upstairs to deliver an emergency telegram, an underground party member blocked Deng's mother.
After reading the telegram, Deng Yingchao learned that everyone in Guangzhou was already in danger. In the telegram, ** instructed the mother and daughter to immediately move to Shanghai with their children. At this time, ** did not know that his child had passed away.
After receiving the order, Deng Yingchao and her mother began to prepare for the transfer, however, due to her influence at the time, it was not easy to evacuate Guangzhou safely. A large number of ** eagle dogs are rushing here, and Deng Yingchao can only hide in the hospital first.
Comrade Zhang Zhizhong found out the location of Deng Yingchao, and asked Chen Geng to help take care of him, and also tried his best to help Deng Yingchao and others. Deng Yingchao and her mother were able to make it to Shanghai.
** Hearing the news of the child's premature death, he was very distressed when he saw that Deng Yingchao didn't even have the strength to speak, and told her to recuperate well and not to think about it. Although Deng Yingchao was heartbroken, she still adhered to the revolutionary cause and could not fall down because of this setback, and she could recuperate well for a period of time in Shanghai.
In 1937, when Comrade ** and Comrade *** co-presided over the family planning work, he accidentally mentioned that he and Deng Yingchao had a son who died young, and his words were full of regret.
After a detailed examination by the doctors, Deng Yingchao had almost no fertility, and coupled with Lin Qiaozhi's diagnosis, she decided to give up the idea of having children. Although there are still a few possibilities, Deng Yingchao believes that he and *** are old and should devote all their energy to the revolutionary cause.
This past has been kept a secret until now.
Unexpectedly, the couple not only had multiple children, but it is worth mentioning that they integrated love, marriage and revolution and never separated. **After losing a son, they felt sorry for Deng Yingchao, so the two no longer considered the issue of childbirth, devoted all their energy to the cause of people's liberation, and never mentioned this topic.
Even without children, their feelings were unaffected. What's special is that since they fell in love, they have maintained correspondence until the height of the Liberation War, when the CCP evacuated the Yan'an revolutionary base.
In the face of the extremely critical situation, ** stayed up for several days and nights, but still did not forget to write a letter to Deng Yingchao. The letter was passed around before it reached Deng Yingchao's hands.
This legendary story of the love between them was widely circulated in the revolutionary base area and became a good story at that time. Even in busy moments, they will pass on their feelings through some "tokens".
The most common are all kinds of flowers and plants, begonias, leaves, peonies, roses, etc., which appear frequently in letters, just like their love, all year round.
Behind their resolute love and marriage, in addition to the shared ideals, beliefs and careers they strive for, mutual concern and care also play a key role. This is a two-way emotion, not a one-sided effort.
In the sixties of the last century, Deng Yingchao's health was not good and he needed to go to the hospital**. I wanted to be able to visit my wife in person, but I had little time due to my busy schedule.
Finally one day, he got a few minutes of rest, so he immediately went to visit Deng Yingchao in the hospital despite his exhaustion.
Deng Yingchao took care of the sick *** meticulously, for fear of disturbing his rest. The two have been supporting and watching each other before and after the founding of New China. Someone proposed to marry another wife and have children, but he made it clear that he was firmly against it, because of the monogamy in our country, he would not betray the people and the motherland because of incense.
** After the founding of New China, he and Deng Yingchao chose to adopt the children of revolutionary martyrs, regarded them as flesh and blood, and continued the dreams of martyrs with actions. For example, Sun Bingwen's daughter Sun Wei has been growing up under the guidance of *** since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, and she is no different from her own daughter.
Li Peng, the child of the martyr Li Shuoxun, after his father was killed, ** has been looking for news of Li Shuoxun's descendants and pouring love. Their actions are to pass on the revolutionary spirit from generation to generation, and to remember and pay tribute to the martyrs with love.
In 1939, after learning of the whereabouts of Li Peng's mother and son, he immediately took them to Chongqing. In this city, ** adopted another "adopted son". In addition, there are also the children of Li Tete, Qian Jiang, and Qian Yiping, who are all the children of *** and Deng Yingchao.
In the revolutionary years, under the careful care of Deng Yingchao, these children followed *** to learn revolutionary theory and the spirit of the War of Resistance. When they grew up, these children have always regarded the *** couple as their biological parents, not only joined the revolution like their parents, but also never forgot the kindness of Zhou and Deng.
In 1976, ** unfortunately passed away, and the whole country was immersed in deep grief. These young people also participated in ***'s funeral, Deng Yingchao looked at them, her heart was full of endless sorrow, but she knew that ** left without regrets.
More than ten years later, in 1992, Deng Yingchao also passed away. The revolutionary couple's last wishes were strikingly unanimous, and they both hoped that their ashes would be scattered in all corners of the motherland.
Although they have no biological children, there are countless Chinese sons and daughters who regard them as parents and have no regrets in this life.
** and Deng Yingchao are the great revolutionaries of New China and the eternal example of the people's army. They have selflessly dedicated their lives and devoted all their energies to the cause of the motherland and the people, never thinking about themselves.
Although they may also have regrets in their later years, why they can't have children of their own. But the peculiarities of that era made it impossible for them to live a peaceful life and conceive their own children.
If the two ancestors of Zhou and Deng could see that we still miss them today, they would definitely feel extremely relieved if they knew it underground.
