Sister Jiang, formerly known as Jiang Zhuyun. In September 2009, she was selected as one of the "100 Heroes and Exemplary Figures Who Made Outstanding Contributions to the Founding of the People's Republic of China".
She joined the Communist Party of China very early, joined the Communist Party of China in 1939, and her life was closely linked to the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and made great contributions to the motherland.
What is unexpected is that the child of this female martyr did not return to her homeland according to her expectations, but developed her career in the United States, and finally became famous and could not return to China easily.
Although his life was full of expectations and pressures, he still chose to stay in the United States, facing his family and career that had settled down in the United States.
Although he was the son of a hero, his life was his own choice, and he found his place in the United States.
Jiang Zhuyun, a "Sichuan baby" from Dashanpu, Zigong, Sichuan, her birthplace gave birth to her tenacious and unyielding character. She was also a member of the Sichuan army, and together with countless Sichuan troops, she left her hometown, bid farewell to her relatives, and embarked on the road of decisive battle with Japanese imperialism in order to resist Japan.
In that war-torn era, she showed the demeanor of women who did not let their eyebrows go, and became the pride of the sons and daughters of Sichuan.
Jiang Zhuyun's life is not all smooth sailing, and her tenacity and responsibility are not innate, but from a bumpy past. On August 20, 1920, she was born in the land of abundance in Sichuan.
Heaven seems intent on putting her through suffering, in order to temper her will and shape her personality. Her family is poor, her father is lazy, her mother is strong and hot, and there are constant family conflicts.
However, it is this environment that has shaped her image of being resilient, hardworking and responsible.
In such a family atmosphere, Jiang Zhuyun gradually grew up strongly, firmly believing that "the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are motivated to endure and gain what they cannot."
When he was eight years old, Jiang Zhuyun left his father with his mother and younger brother and came to Chongqing to seek refuge with relatives.
Jiang Zhuyun has experienced hardships since she was a child, working as a worker in a Chongqing hosiery factory at the age of ten, working on a stool every day, but she never complains. Her work-study and tireless efforts are admirable, but her tenacity and perseverance are even more admired.
Perhaps, it is these painful pasts that have shaped her strong character.
Faced with the difficulties of life, Jiang Zhuyun did not choose to sink, but found the direction of his life in the difficult work - the Chinese Red Army. Fascinated by the discipline and faith of the Red Army, she continued to study hard, eventually entering the Chinese Public School in Chongqing in 1939 and honorably becoming a member of the Communist Party.
At that moment, her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation for the future.
Image source network She has a soft spot for Yan'an, believing that it is a symbol of the Chinese revolution, and if possible, she must go there to feel it in person. However, people in that era were often involuntary, and Jiang Zhuyun was no exception, and after becoming a member of the Communist Party, her dream took a back seat and put the motherland and people first.
Although she had a deep love for Marxist-Leninist theory and wanted to explore it in Yan'an, she decided to study accounting and stayed in Chongqing, where she grew up.
Jiang Zhuyun devoted herself wholeheartedly to the communication and liaison work in Chongqing, she understood the needs of the organization, and was willing to stay and go all out to achieve it. Because she knows that no matter where she is, as long as she can contribute to the country, she will be satisfied.
Jiang Zhuyun's underground work is not an easy task, as she not only needs to carry out daily liaison work, but also needs to work hard to learn accounting knowledge. Over time, she has grown in experience and responsibility.
In the summer of 1941, she became a member of the Chongqing New Urban District Committee, responsible for the development of party members and organizations.
Jiang Zhuyun's accumulation of daily work allowed her to meet Peng Yongwu, a young man who also cherished righteousness. They are not only comrades-in-arms in the same camp, but also companions who appreciate each other.
In May 1943, pink feelings quietly sprouted in their hearts. Peng Yongwu is the first member of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the underground party, and the organization decided to let them pretend to be husband and wife, on the surface they are husband and wife, but in fact Jiang Zhuyun is Peng Yongwu's right-hand man, they are mutually dependent comrades-in-arms.
When love arises between them, it may be love at first sight.
Jiang Zhuyun and Peng Yongwu, a young and promising couple, their encounter is like a spring breeze, which is intoxicating. Jiang Zhuyun has a gentle and lovely appearance, slightly curly hair, a cheongsam slim body, a graceful figure, gentle and tough eyes, as strong as steel.
Peng Yongwu is dignified, knowledgeable, considerate, and delicate, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. After a long time together, they were surprised to find that not only did they have the same goal, but their three views were also very compatible.
They are ideal partners and soul mates in life.
The story of Peng Yongwu and Jiang Zhuyun is full of hardship and romance. After thousands of mountains and rivers and several deceptions, Peng Yongwu finally found the real Chinese Communist Party organization and joined it in October 1938.
After two years together, they chose to get married in 1945. It was an exhilarating moment, as on August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender.
Their marriage added a touch of joy to this solemn day.
After getting married, they didn't have time to enjoy the sweet time, so they threw themselves into their careers. Jiang Zhuyun returned to Chongqing to lead*** while her husband worked elsewhere. However, Jiang Zhuyun endured the pain alone during her pregnancy, and her husband was not around.
On the day she went into labor, she had a painful birth, and her husband was still not with her. She decided to have a cesarean section alone in the hospital and told ** to be sterilized.
In a difficult environment, Jiang Zhuyun insisted on working, and her child, Peng Yun, was born in West China Hospital. After a short break, she went back to work and had very limited time to spend with her children.
She was always hands-on and achieved great things. A year after the birth of her child, she and her husband went to the front line of the armed struggle. Fate likes to joke and especially likes to watch people who work hard to live struggle in a miserable life.
She was finally reunited with her husband for a short time and worked together, but this happiness did not last long, almost fleeting.
On the eve of the Chinese New Year in 1948, snowflakes fell on the ground, and the streets were filled with a joyful atmosphere. However, Jiang Zhuyun lost her most important husband Peng Yongwu in her life in this warm festival.
He died while participating in an armed uprising, and his head was hung high above the city gates by the enemy. For the enemy, this is a Communist Party, an insignificant person, a corpse.
But for our country, he is a hero of the people, a fighter for a new future, and a part of the push for the ultimate victory.
Image source network, for Jiang Zhuyun, Peng Yongwu is not only a husband, but also the father of her child under the age of three. Her grief has not yet dissipated, and there is still a lot of work to be done, and many tasks to be taken over.
When the organization cared about her, she only said one sentence: "No one is more familiar with this line of contact that Peng Yongwu is responsible for than me." For the smooth completion of the work, I should stand up at the place where Lao Peng died and continue to fight. ”
This strange woman with great righteousness works hard and is dedicated to the country, but the ruthless fate plays tricks on her again and again.
After Sister Jiang took over her husband's work, she did her best to fulfill her duties. Although the 28-year-old already has the marks of age on her face, her heart is still firm. At that time, the social environment was extremely harsh, and Sister Jiang's work was full of high-risk, and every day of life was like walking on the tip of a knife.
However, such a challenge did not defeat her. Until June 14, 1948, Sister Jiang **, this was due to the betrayal of a traitor. She was imprisoned by the Kuomintang military commanders, and she had no chance to enjoy her youth, not a day of happiness for herself, and she could not see the founding of New China with her own eyes.
Jiang Zhuyun's life came to an abrupt end in front of the bright future, and the warm sunlight illuminated the front, but she could never reach it. From June 14, 1948 to November 14, 1949, she endured the cruel torture of the enemy during this long period of time, and whenever and wherever the enemy used all kinds of torture, such as a tiger chair, electrocution, steel whip with dense stabs, chili water, a stick nailed into ten fingers, a sling, etc., trying to pry useful information out of her mouth.
Despite such pain, Jiang Zhuyun persevered, and her tenacity and determination are admirable.
Jiang Zhuyun, a resolute and beautiful woman, should have witnessed the new era of China in 1949, saw the jubilation of the establishment of New China, and saw China's future prosperity.
However, all this is broken by the betrayal of the traitor, and she will never be able to see this long-awaited moment. Although her life is fragile, the red suicide note she left behind is a family letter to her son written by her with chopsticks as a pen and cotton ash as ink, full of maternal love and tenacity, symbolizing her expectations for the future and love for the country.
Even though I am behind bars, I still have the belief of victory and the hope of survival, and I study hard to make the most of my day. But I know very well that my situation is dangerous, and if misfortune comes, I hope you can take my child Yun'er and let him follow in our footsteps, establish New China as his own ambition, and resolutely fight for the cause of the communist revolution.
Please don't spoil children, coarse tea and light rice are enough. "
The path of life is different, and each of us is looking for our own direction on our own path in life. Some people choose a smooth road, some choose a rugged path, but no matter which path you choose, you need courage and perseverance to go to the end.
Because every road will encounter various difficulties and challenges, but only by persevering can we go to the other side of success. Therefore, don't be afraid to choose a different path in life, as long as you have faith and determination, you will definitely be able to achieve your dreams.
Peng Yun, the only son of revolutionary martyrs Peng Yongwu and Jiang Zhuyun, has been highly anticipated since birth. After his mother's "red suicide note" was made public, it was widely believed that he would stay in China, carry on his mother's legacy, and contribute to the construction of a new society in China.
However, in reality, Peng Yun did not choose the same path as his parents. Although he has excelled since he was a child, he even became the top student in science in the college entrance examination. At the age of 19, he entered the Harbin Military Engineering Institute with excellent academic results.
When the motherland resumed the college entrance examination and graduate school system, Peng Yun once again embarked on the road of preparing for the exam. His excellent grades and an article recognized by an American magazine made him one of the first batch of public international students.
While studying in the United States, he deeply felt the difference between the prosperity of the United States and China. There are many employment opportunities and the quality of teaching is high. As a result, Peng Yun stayed in the United States for many years, studying at Wayne State University in Michigan and the University of Maryland, and finally obtained a master's degree and a doctorate.
He learned a lot of practical and valuable knowledge in the United States, and while there was hope that he would return to his country, like a bird flying in the sky, he longed to see the wider world.
As a result, he flew for decades and eventually settled in the United States, where he became a tenured professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland. When the reporter asked him why he didn't return to China, his answer was full of helplessness.
Peng Yun originally planned to complete his studies in the United States, but later hoped to learn more there and return to his home country after achieving success. However, time flies so quickly, his lifelong dream has not been fulfilled and nothing has been achieved, and the date of his return to China has been postponed again and again, and it has become a distant date.
We should respect Peng Yun's choice, he is an independent individual with his own life goals to pursue, and we can't add a halo to him because of his status as the child of a revolutionary martyr.
*Originated from the Internet, what Peng Yun said in the face of **, its deep meaning is easy to understand. His mother was a great woman, and no matter how good Peng Yun's performance was, no matter how much effort he put in, it could not be compared to the contribution made by his mother.
Higher education, greater ideals, and unrealized contributions to the motherland are not that he does not want to do them, but that he feels inadequate. This "Yun'er", who is expected by everyone, may only be able to understand how difficult it is to surpass his mother.
