June 15, 1931, may have been an ordinary day for many, but for Li Kenong and his family, it was the most thrilling moment of his life. That day, he received an urgent news that Gu Shunzhang had rebelled and his situation was very critical. He was in Shanghai, but he couldn't directly inform his wife Zhao Ying at home, so he could only urgently send someone to inform her and evacuate immediately.
Back in 1929, Li Kenong, as the head of the Central Unified Electric Power Unit, entered the Kuomintang spy system, engaged in intelligence work with Qian Zhuangfei and Hu Di, and was directly led by the Communist Party of China. Zhao Ying was born in a scholarly family and has always supported her husband's revolutionary cause. For safety reasons, he was asked to move to Shanghai with his two children.
In the face of an emergency, Li Kenong urgently contacted Chen Geng, the leader of the Communist Party of China, quickly organized the retreat of the CCP personnel in Shanghai, and instructed the traffic officer to convey the news to Zhao Ying and let her leave immediately with her children. After Zhao Ying learned the news, she quickly left with her children and wandered on the streets of Shanghai, begging during the day and finding a safe place to rest at night, always vigilant in case she was discovered by the enemy.
A month later, Zhao Ying went to the junction point and met Gong Qiaoyan, a member of the organization, and learned that the organization had arranged a relatively safe shelter for them. In 1937, during the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Li Kenong participated in the negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in Nanjing and reunited with his family. Seeing that his family was in thin health, he felt self-blame and distress in his heart, and began to reflect on how to balance the revolutionary cause and his family.
Eventually, the family was reunited. Li Kenong hopes to spend more time with his family, while Zhao Ying is also worried about her husband's health and feels this rare moment of reunion.
This historical anecdote shows the difficulties faced by revolutionary families in turbulent times and the warmth of reunion. The love and concern between them always runs through the family and career. Their stories give us a deeper understanding of the great sacrifices and efforts made by the people of that era for the liberation of the country and the independence of the nation.
