Chen Bui to ***TuoguPrime Minister: Don't worry, I'll solve it.
Chen Bui, known as a "man of letters" and a "perfect man of his time," was trusted by Chiang Kai-shek from 1927 when he became a senior aide until his suicide in 1948.
In 1947, after the breakdown of peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, ** was about to return to Yan'an. After learning of this, Chen Bui immediately visited *** The two talked for more than three hours before Chen Bui left.
On the occasion of parting, ** clasped Chen Bui's hand and said firmly: "I will do my best to handle your affairs, don't worry!" Chen Bui smiled and waved goodbye and boarded the car.
However, a year later, ** received the news of Chen Bui's suicide and deeply regretted it. So, what's going on here? Why did Chen Bui, the confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, ask *** for help?
What is it that Chen Bui asked for ***'s help? The result? Chen Bui, born in Cixi, Zhejiang Province in 1890, was a fellow villager of Chiang Kai-shek. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising in 1911, Chen Bui was enthusiastic and immediately threw himself into the struggle against the feudal dynasty and in favor of Mr. Sun Yat-sen and the democratic revolution.
With his outstanding writing talent, Chen Bui wrote the book "Talking about Hubei", which was successfully published, which greatly inspired the general public. In 1912, Dr. Sun Yat-sen served as the provisional chief **, and the speeches he drafted in English urgently needed to be translated into Chinese.
As the foreign minister of the national ** at that time, Wang Chonghui knew nothing about English, and then he remembered Chen Bui. Chen Bui lived up to expectations and successfully translated the English manuscript into Chinese and published it exclusively in Tianduo Daily, causing widespread social repercussions.
Chen Bui came to Shanghai in 1920 and served as the editor-in-chief of the "Commercial Daily", which was appreciated by Sun Yat-sen, whose articles coincided with the ideas of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and were admired by Communist leaders such as Xiao Chunu.
In 1927, under the recommendation of his eldest brother Chen Qihuai, Chen Bui went to Nanchang with Pan Gongzhan and was invited by Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Guofu to join the Kuomintang.
Chen Bui and Chiang Kai-shek's bond was due to his cousin Chen Qihuai, who was Chiang Kai-shek's secretary before, and recommended his younger brother Chen Bui, who was 18 years younger than him. When they met for the first time, Chen Bui wrote the famous "Letter to Whampoa Classmates" according to Chiang Kai-shek's request, which was well received by Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1927, Chen Bui served as the secretary general of Zhejiang Province, came to Nanjing to serve as the secretary general of the National Party Secretariat, and concurrently served as a professor of the Chinese Literature and Culture News Group of Fudan University, teaching "Editorial Practice".
When Chiang Kai-shek was forced to go into the opposition by the Gui alliance He Yingqin, Chen Bui also resigned from his position within the Kuomintang and went to Shanghai to found the "New Life Weekly". While running a newspaper, he traveled the mountains and rivers, and also planned the location of Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling's first date.
Soon after, Chiang Kai-shek was reinstated, and Chen Bui returned to his side again.
1.Chen Bui was Chiang Kai-shek's confidant, and he drafted the "Tribute to Premier Sun" for Chiang Kai-shek, making Chiang Kai-shek the legal heir of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Chen's writing won Chiang Kai-shek a great deal of support, but he also got caught up in a political maelstrom.
2.In 1931, when Chiang Kai-shek was again forced to leave the wilderness, Chen Bui joined him in the retreat, resigned from all positions and returned to the poster world. In 1933, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Chen Bui to Nanchang as an adviser.
In 1934, Chen Bui went to work with Chiang Kai-shek and revised his speeches every day. 3.After the "918" incident, in order to help Chiang Kai-shek deal with the aftermath, Chen Bui compiled "Xi'an Half Moon Chronicle", so that Chiang Kai-shek's image in the hearts of the public could be beautified.
However, Chen Bui was also angry at Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "non-resistance" and could only express his entanglements in his diary. 4.After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Chen Bui was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to write many impassioned manuscripts, which enabled Chiang Kai-shek to win widespread praise in the war.
Among them, Chiang Kai-shek's speech "The Last Moment" in Lushan in July 1937 was praised by many people.
From 1936 onwards, Chen Bui successively served as the deputy secretary general of the National Political Conference and the director of the second division of Chiang Kai-shek's chamberlain. Although he sensed Chiang Kai-shek's intention to start a civil war after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he chose to stick to it and laughed at himself"It's like a married woman, from the beginning"。
Although Chen Bui was loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, he was of high character, never associated with the most corrupt, and he also admired the literati with real talent and learning. For example, after the defeat of the Great Revolution, Guo Moruo was wanted for his articles against Chiang Kai-shek and went into exile in Japan.
During the Anti-Japanese War of Resistance against the Communist Party, Guo Moruo wanted to return to China, but Chen Bui persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to let him return to China safely. As Chiang Kai-shek's "literary courage", Chen Bui drafted documents and formulated policies for him for a long time.
However, his daughter, son-in-law and son all threw themselves into the arms of the Communist Party, and his youngest daughter, Chen Lian, threw herself into the arms of the Communist Party. Although Chen Bui loved her daughter, her early years were particularly tragic, and her mother died of overbirth and illness.
Chen Bui fell into deep pain after the death of his beloved wife, believing that Chen Lian was his nemesis, so he planned to drown her in a spittoon. Fortunately, his mother-in-law found out about this plan, but at this time Chen Bui had lost his mind, and he threw Chen Lian out of the window, but fortunately he was caught by the bamboo shed outside the window.
Since then, Chen Lian has had the name "Li'er", which Chen Bui took after she went to elementary school, on the one hand, to show that he regretted his actions and thought that the child was pitiful; On the other hand, it also echoes the name of Chen Lian's sister Chen Xiu.
In 1937, after the outbreak of the July Seven Incident, Chen Lian actively participated in the upsurge of anti-Japanese propaganda. During this period, she wrote extensively for the Zhejiang-based civil journal Wartime Life, many of which were Communist Party members, such as Zhang Aiping and Du Guoqi.
Chen Lian often read "Life in Wartime", which made a huge change in her thinking. In 1938, Chen Lian was admitted to the girls' high school to study, and she participated in the anti-Japanese salvation movement while studying, and used her special identity to convey the internal information of the Kuomintang to the county party committee many times.
In July 1939, Chen Lian was introduced to join the Communist Party. Surprisingly, Chen Lian, who graduated from high school, did not choose the nearest ** university, but applied for the Southwest Associated University in Kunming, because there are famous professors such as Feng Youlan and Wen Yiduo.
On this day, Chen Lian came to Chen Bui's office to say goodbye to him: "Father, I'm going to study at Southwest Associated University, and I'm here to say goodbye to you." Chen Bui nodded and asked her, "Li'er, what department are you applying for?" ”
Chen Lian said firmly: "I will take my father's words to heart, and while loving the country, I will also avoid getting involved in political disputes." Chen Bui smiled slightly after hearing this, and said softly: "I'm glad that you can understand my position, remember, we are all patriotic people, but we can act differently." ”
Chen Lian nodded in understanding. At this time, Chen Bui suddenly thought of something, and said eagerly: "Do you know, my daughter Chen Lian has disappeared recently, and I need your help to find her." ”
** nodded, indicating that he would do his best to find it.
After learning of the incident, the spies immediately dispatched personnel to investigate, and even the spy leader Kang Ze personally rushed to Kunming from Chongqing to prepare for questioning. However, they didn't know that Chen Lian and the others had already left the school.
Chen Lian and her classmates, led by Yuan Yongxi, scattered and hid in various places, preparing to carry out guerrilla warfare in the countryside. For Chen Lian, this is the first combat test on the road of her life.
Although it was the first time she had experienced such a situation, she did not show any nervousness, but calmly returned to the dormitory to make her bed, then wrote what she called "one last letter" to her sister, and then "disappeared".
The news of Chen Lian's disappearance made Chen Bui feel very uneasy, and at this time, Chen Xiu handed the letter written by his sister to his father. Chen Bui read it repeatedly and thought that his daughter must have gone to Yan'an, so he entrusted his nephew and Guo Moruo's secretary Weng Zeyong to find him from the CCP.
On this day, ** and Deng Yingchao came to Guo Moruo's residence in Chongqing, and Weng Zeyong took this opportunity to tell them about Chen Bui's search for his daughter. At this time, the second "** upsurge" that the Kuomintang was carrying out had been successfully repelled by our party, and the situation began to ease.
**After hearing this, he frowned, thought for a while, and said: "I already understand this problem, I will immediately send someone to investigate, if Chen Lian is really here, we can find her." ”
** received a message that Chen Lian did not appear in the anti-Japanese base area, nor did he go to Yan'an. He told Weng Zeyong the news and asked him to relay it to Chen Bui: "Maybe Chen Lian is hiding, or maybe he was caught by your spies, you can look for it again." ”
Chen Bui expressed his gratitude for the news. A few days later, he published a missing person notice in the newspaper, hoping to find Chen Lian as soon as possible. However, at this time, Chen Lian had already left Kunming with Yuan Yongxi and came to Shiping County Senior Normal High School to teach English.
Soon after, some of the teachers they were assigned were graduates of the United Nations University, so they had to resign and move to a nearby village. They didn't get a job, so they had to eat buns and read books and newspapers.
Around the Spring Festival in 1942, Yuan Yongxi came to Chongqing and connected with him through Shen Junru's niece and Deng Yingchao. With the help of Deng Yingchao, they met in ***'s car.
You wait for me downstairs first, and I'll go back as soon as I go. After saying that, he walked straight to the *** office.
During the KMT-CCP peace talks, although Chen Bui was not an official representative of the peace talks, his status and status allowed him to participate in the peace talks as Chiang Kai-shek's personal representative.
He saw the knowledge, demeanor and character in ***, coupled with *** who had helped him find his missing daughter, Chen Bui left a deep impression on ***.
** Appreciation for Chen Bui's loyalty and quality. At one point, they talked for more than two hours in the *** office and didn't leave until late at night. When they walked downstairs, they stopped again to continue talking, and after talking for about half an hour, Chen Bui officially said goodbye.
When saying goodbye, ** firmly said to Chen Bui: "I will do your business, you can rest assured." Chen Bui hopes to visit again. The purpose of Chen Bui's trip is not a public matter, but a private matter, and he hopes that he can take care of his children more.
Many years later, Ju Yiqiao learned that Chen Bui came to find *** to help Gu this time.
In August 1947, Chen Lian and Yuan Yongxi tied the knot in love, however, their happy days did not last long, and the two were unfortunately imprisoned. What's going on here?
On September 6, more than 30 agents in civilian clothes were ordered to arrest Chen Lian and Yuan Yongxi. Although the spies did not know their identities, a traitor learned from the mouth of a traitor that the surname of a person in charge of the Beiping underground radio station was Yuan, and found Yuan Yongxi's business card on his body, so he decided that Yuan Yongxi was a communist.
After Chen Lian and Yuan Yongxi**, the enemy adopted a method of deception to them. Although the two had no experience in prison struggle, they always firmly believed in the communist cause and vowed not to bow to the Kuomintang.
No matter how the enemy coerced and lured, Chen Lian and Yuan Yongxi did not speak, which also made the enemy gain nothing. Since the spies could not determine the true identities of Chen Lian and his wife, but they could not easily release them, they decided to take this opportunity to embarrass Chen Bui and escort his daughter and son-in-law to Nanjing to see how he would react.
Chen Bui already knew that his daughter and son-in-law had been arrested, but he pretended to be indifferent on the surface. However, after months of silence, Chen Bui could no longer hold on.
He knew that Chiang Kai-shek wanted him to express his position, so he wrote a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, which roughly meant that because his daughter was suspected of "colluding with the Communist Party", he had now taken them to Nanjing, and if this was the case, there was no need to consider the father-daughter relationship between them, and it was better to deal with them impartially.
After Chiang Kai-shek received Chen Bui's letter of "righteous annihilation of relatives", he immediately ordered his subordinates to investigate clearly.
At the end of 1947, Chiang Kai-shek held a banquet in his mansion, and after the banquet, he left Chen Bui and said: "Bray, I have received your letter, and I have sent someone to verify the matter of your daughter and son-in-law. ”
After saying that, Chiang Kai-shek turned to Chen Bui, who looked puzzled and only nodded silently. Jiang laughed: "Bray don't be nervous, your son-in-law is a 'Minqing', not a Communist Party." ”
Chen Bui knew the meaning of this, and was busy interceding for his daughter and son-in-law, and the two were soon released. As the years passed, Chen Bui watched the Jiang dynasty crumbling, and his heart was full of disappointment.
As a man of letters, he used the most direct method - to speak out and denounce the civil war. He believed that the war-torn compatriots should be at peace, and repeatedly suggested that the civil war should be stopped, but Chiang Kai-shek criticized him as a "scholar who has misled the country".
He also exposed the corruption of the Chiang family, the Song family, the Confucian family and the Chen family, and suggested that Chiang Kai-shek take out the hidden US dollars to build the country and improve the people's livelihood, but he was hated for it.
On November 13, 1948, Chen Bui, a well-known person, committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. Facing the death of her father, Chen Lian's heart was full of complicated feelings, she had both deep sorrow for her father and regret that her father had embarked on the wrong path.
Although she once betrayed her family and hated her father as an enemy of the people, she was never able to let go of her love for him. Soon after, Chen Lian and Yuan Yongxi successfully entered the liberated area with the help of the Shanghai underground party in the process of escorting Chen Bui's coffin to Hangzhou for burial.
With the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Chen Lian and Yuan Yongxi followed the party organization into Beiping to welcome the birth of New China together. After the liberation of the country, ** asked Chen Lian to talk about his father at a meeting, Chen Lian said: "My father upheld the belief of 'self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world' all his life, but unfortunately he failed to realize this wish, and instead became a victim of the old society."
Wrong ideas led him down the wrong ......”
