On April 8, 1955, when he secretly passed through Kunming, he was facing the threat of assassination by Kuomintang agents who tried to prevent *** from traveling to Indonesia to attend the Asian-African Conference.
In this extremely tense environment, ** still went to Yunnan University to meet a special friend, that is, his first girlfriend Zhang Ruoming more than 30 years ago.
Zhang Ruoming's love affair with ***: the story of acquaintance, separation and acquaintance Zhang Ruoming and ***, the former lovers, have not seen each other for many years.
Recently, the story between them has once again attracted people's attention. In the past few decades, how many ups and downs they have experienced, how to go from acquaintance, love to separation, and then to acquaintance, all of this will be answered here.
There are many people who know *** and Deng Yingchao, but there are very few people who know *** and Zhang Ruoming. So, what is the story between them? Why did Zhang Ruoming break up with ***, and how did *** and Deng Yingchao come together?
Let's follow the author's footsteps, walk into the world of Zhang Ruoming and ***, explore their past together, and interpret their present.
Enlightenment Society"Founded on September 16, 1920, it was jointly established by 20 young students including Zhang Ruoming. Their purpose was to better lead the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement in Tianjin's academic circles, and to actively propagate Marxism, democratic revolution, and women's emancipation theory.
The members of the Enlightenment Society all held the belief of "celibacy", and at the same time received encouragement and support from Li Dazhao. In order to prevent ** and assassination, each member of the club decides his own code name by drawing lots.
Zhang Ruoming drew No. 36 and changed his name"Shirt Lu"。They were on December 28th"Blessing***"**The Japanese shot and killed my patriotic students and marched in front of the provincial office, which was ultimately unfortunate**.
When Zhang Ruoming and others were escorted by the police to the police department, they shouted all the way: "Long live the students!" Long live my compatriots! "Despite being behind bars, they still hold on to their beliefs and ideals.
Zhang Ruoming wrote in prison: "The spirit is very happy......However, her insistence on her revolutionary beliefs aroused opposition from her family, especially her father, who repeatedly threatened Zhang Ruoming with severing ties and financial assistance in an attempt to prevent Zhang Ruoming from continuing the revolutionary path.
But Zhang Ruoming insisted on himself and was determined not to give up, and finally escaped in July 1920 with the help of Deng Yingchao and other members of the Awakening Society. In order to protect their safety, the Awakening Society suggested that they go to France to study, ** and Zhang Ruoming left Shanghai for France on the cruise ship "Bordos", while Deng Yingchao stayed in China.
At this time, they were just simple comrades-in-arms, appreciating each other, and did not develop love. Because after the establishment of the Awakening Society, in order to devote themselves to the struggle to transform society, the members agreed not to fall in love, not to get married, and even held the belief of celibacy.
** once said: "Celibacy can dedicate oneself to the country." However, as he grew older, his mindset shifted and he began to accept love. He once wrote to his cousin Chen Shizhou: "Although he advocates having no family, he is not a person who is not affectionate, and love and family should not be confused. ”
While studying in France, he realized that revolution and love are not opposites. The members of the Enlightenment Society all believed that if he gave up celibacy, it would be a match made in heaven to pair with Zhang Ruoming.
As a result, the relationship between the two quickly heated up. First love is also beautiful for ***.
When I was studying in France, ** and Zhang Ruoming were like-minded, joined the Young Communist Party together, studied Marxism together, and helped each other. Zhang Ruoming's spoken French is excellent, and he was sent to secretly liaise with the French **.
The basis of their love affair is the common revolutionary ideals and the comrade-in-arms who fought side by side. Zhang Ruoming's courage, organizational ability and simple character, as well as his intelligence, steadfastness and persistent pursuit of the revolutionary cause, attracted them to each other.
However, the transfer of the organization and the disagreement with Ren Zhuoxuan led to their breakup, and Zhang Ruoming's identity was exposed under Ren Zhuoxuan's leadership and was targeted by the police.
Zhang Ruoming, years of revolutionary work made her feel very aggrieved and resentful, and she was censored by the organization because of family reasons.
Despite many persuasions, she still decided to leave the organization, which made *** feel very painful. He told his niece: "First love is always beautiful, and it is not easy to break off this relationship.
I have also tried hard, I have repeatedly advised her not to be so impulsive, I hope she can treat it correctly, be able to be stronger, and don't be ** because of some grievances, but she can't listen to ......She said that she was tired and wanted to engage in literary research, and she didn't want to talk about politics anymore, and I had no choice but to let go ......The reason for this relationship lies in the difference in the life values of the two parties, and finally Zhang Ruoming announced**, which also made *** decide to end this relationship.
This relationship touched *** a lot, and it also prompted him to think about what kind of partner he should find. After repeated consideration, he chose Deng Yingchao, who stayed in China.
Aunt Deng, this is your letter, Uncle Concierge asked me to send it to you, saying that it was sent from a foreign country! Deng Yingchao saw the tall handwriting on the envelope, and knew that it was sent from Paris, France.
Chen Xiaocen and his wife also came over to read the letter together. Deng Yingchao opened the letter, and there was only a postcard with an oil painting inside, which surprised her.
Deng Yingchao opened the envelope and found that the postcard read: "Run to the spring of freedom!" Break the shackles of the past! Run and run! She was shocked by ***'s words and was overwhelmed.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaocen and his wife explained that this was Wu Hao expressing his heart to her, hoping that she could break all shackles and fall in love with him bravely. Deng Yingchao was puzzled by this, **Hasn't he always insisted on celibacy?
Why would he express this to himself? She decided to write back to *** and ask him if he had any new ideas.
** Actively responded to the proposal of Deng Yingchao and others to form a women's group, and said that he had realized that revolution and love were not contradictory, and thought that he had found an ideal partner.
He has mentioned to his friends Cai Hesen, Xiang Jingyu and others many times that he hopes to find a like-minded partner and work together. Another friend chose to leave because he could not bear the hardships and dangers of the revolution, and he was determined to dedicate his life to the revolution.
He wrote to Deng Yingchao, expressing his desire to confirm the relationship between the two as soon as possible. Before Deng Yingchao decided to establish a relationship with ***, he asked his mother's opinion.
His mother had a good impression of him and thought he was a good candidate, but she didn't explicitly support him. Deng Yingchao believes that it is not easy to find an ideal partner, and she and *** have the same mind and like-minded interests, so she decided to reply as soon as possible to avoid the other party worrying about it.
After receiving another letter, Deng Yingchao was moved by his sincerity, and their long-term friendship sublimated into wonderful and warm love, and decided not to ask for his mother's opinion anymore, and officially confirmed the relationship between the two.
In a letter to ***, Deng Yingchao expressed their mutual thinking and heart-to-heart determination, willingness to accompany each other, and fight for communist ideals for life.
Since then, ** and Deng Yingchao have joined hands on the road of fighting for the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people, and their love has lasted for more than half a century. One night after the meeting in Moscow, ** secretly met his first girlfriend Zhang Ruoming in a small café and asked her if she would like to return to Beijing to work.
They talked, told Zhang Ruoming the news of his marriage to Deng Yingchao, and shared the situation of the Chinese revolution and the world revolution. ** Firmly said to Zhang Ruoming that even if he didn't know when he would see each other again after the breakup, he would not regret it.
When Zhang Ruoming heard these words, tears welled up in her eyes, and she assured *** that although she left the party organization, she would never betray her friends and the party organization, would be a revolutionary who was not a member of the Communist Party, and would never divulge the party's secrets.
During his studies in France, Zhang Ruoming met Yang Kun, a student from Hebei Daimyo, who was in France under the introduction of Guo Longzhen. On May 31, 1930, they had a simple and romantic wedding in the auditorium of the Franco-Chinese University of Lyon.
Professor Saigun is Zhang Ruoming's mentor, and he has a very high opinion of her: "Her achievements are the glory of our college!" Zhang Ruoming obtained a doctorate in liberal arts from the Sino-French University with very good grades, becoming the only one among the more than 40 female work-study students who went to France to obtain this degree at that time.
Zhang Ruoming is the first female doctor in China to study in France, and she is also the pride of Chinese women. In 1931, with the pure heart of serving the country, Zhang Ruoming and Yang Kun returned to the motherland with academic achievements.
In Beijing, Zhang Ruoming was hired as a professor at the Faculty of Liberal Arts of the University of China and France. However, after the July 7 Incident, the Japanese occupied Beiping, and the Sino-French University was forced to close. Zhang Ruoming had a strong temperament, and she preferred to read and write at home rather than teach under Japanese rule.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Chiang Kai-shek met with teachers and students in Beiping in front of the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, and held a tea party in Zhongnanhai to comfort well-known figures in the cultural and educational circles.
As a patriotic expert, Zhang Ruoming was also invited by Chiang Kai-shek.
In the spring of 1946, Zhang Ruoming and Yang Kun were teaching at the Sino-French University in Beiping. One day, a mysterious guest came to their house, and it was said that he was ***
**At that time, he was in military negotiations with Marshall and Zhang Zhizhong, and he was interrogated by the Japanese police on the way to the "Sixth National Congress" of the Communist Party of China in Moscow, falsely claiming that his surname was Wang.
Although Zhang Ruoming regretted not being able to meet with ***, she still accepted the invitation of the president of Yunnan University and went to Kunming to teach. Some people think that Zhang Ruoming's first love is going to lead the army into the city, and it is better to stay away from each other in the future.
Therefore, Zhang Ruoming and his wife decided to go to Yunnan to teach.
After the liberation of Yunnan in 1950, Zhang Ruoming joined the China Democratic League and always adhered to the belief in Marxism. For the sake of the motherland and the people, she is determined to be a pioneer woman and contribute her wisdom and enthusiasm.
In April 1955, the Prime Minister led the Chinese delegates to Indonesia to attend the Asian-African Conference, passing through Kunming. Despite the attempts of the Kuomintang agents to assassinate him, *** was still in a tense atmosphere and went to Yunnan University to meet Zhang Ruoming and Yang Kun.
On the morning of April 8, the two met for five hours and had lunch together. During the meal, ** said to Zhang Ruoming that Xiaochao repeatedly told him to say hello to Sister Ruoming for her.
He also asked Zhang Ruoming if he wanted to return to Beijing to work, but Zhang Ruoming politely refused. During the long conversation, the two recalled the past, including Zhang Ruoming's entry into the group in 1922.
It is said that ** said this at the time to protect Zhang Ruoming, because the nature of the withdrawal from the group was lighter than **.
According to Zhou Bingde's recollections, after returning from the Asian-African Conference, he discussed this meeting with Deng Yingchao. At that time, Qi's mother asked *** why she didn't take a picture with Zhang Ruoming**, so that she could see how Zhang Ruoming had changed compared to the past.
It is a pity that this meeting has become a farewell between *** and Zhang Ruoming. On June 18, 1958, Zhang Ruoming died at the age of 56.
