In September 1976, ** left us forever, which is sad news. After Li Min heard the news, he immediately rushed to Zhongnanhai, hoping to see *** one last time.
However, Li Min was worried that her mother would not be able to accept the news after hearing the news, so she asked her husband and daughter to go to Shanghai to accompany her.
When He Zizhen heard the news of ***'s death on the radio, she was hit by a huge blow and fainted directly. After waking up, she cried for several days and was very depressed.
He Zizhen hoped to go to Beijing to see off ***, but the organization did not approve it. She cried and told her son-in-law and granddaughter, "Even at home, I will pay tribute to him." ”
Then, she draped the portrait of *** in a black veil, bowed deeply three times, and then stared at the portrait. Although Kong Dongmei, who is only four years old, has almost no impression of her grandfather, she knows from the mouth of others that *** is her grandfather.
She was very saddened by his death. In 2005, twenty years after He Zizhen's death, Kong Dongmei published a book about He Zizhen, in which she revealed a secret to the outside world for the first time: there is a secret in ***'s old clothes.
So what exactly is this secret?
This passage tells the story of Kong Dongmei's birth and the origin of her name. It turned out that Kong Dongmei had never seen ***, but her birth was inseparable from ***'s care and help.
When Li Min found out that she was pregnant, she had a difficult life and wanted to kill the child. But after *** learned about the situation, she persuaded her that she couldn't have children no matter what.
Therefore, Kong Dongmei was born. After the child was born, Li Min showed the child's ** to *** and asked the father to name the child. **Because he likes plum blossoms, he named this child "Dongmei".
Since then, Kong Dongmei has been growing up under the care of her grandmother and has never met her grandfather***
In April 1984, He Zizhen was hospitalized due to illness, and although the doctors tried their best, his condition did not improve. When Li Min learned that her mother was critically ill, she immediately rushed to Shanghai with her family from Beijing to visit.
Kong Dongmei, who was 12 years old at the time, had a preliminary understanding of life and death, and her heart was full of grief when she saw her grandmother's weak appearance. However, just when Kong Dongmei's heart was like a knife, He Zizhen suddenly woke up.
In order to reassure her relatives, she endured the pain, and even asked ** to prepare food for Kong Dongmei, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Li Min saw her mother's smile and thought that she could survive and was very happy. But when she went home to tidy up her things, He Zizhen told her brother that she was afraid that she would not survive this time, but hoped that after she died, she could bury her ashes in Beijing, closer to ***.
When He Minxue heard his sister's words, his heart was very heavy, and he tearfully promised that her wish would be granted. On the evening of April 18, He Zizhen fell into a coma, and doctors tried their best to save her, but failed to save her life.
He Minxue expressed his sister's last wish to **, and after **learned about it, he ordered He Zizhen's ashes to be stored in a room, and all ** leaders had to go to send wreaths. While sorting out He Zizhen's belongings, Li Min found a disability certificate, which was a lifelong disability left by her injuries during the revolution, but she never applied for disability benefits, showing her high demeanor.
Li Min found a red blanket in the relics, which she had used with *** together, and she has always treasured it to express her deep nostalgia for ***.
Kong Dongmei didn't understand her mother's feelings for her grandfather when she was a child, but as she grew up, she read her grandmother's diary and learned that her grandfather had kept an old dress that he had worn during the Luochuan meeting, and He Zizhen also experienced that meeting with him.
Therefore, ** still has deep feelings for He Zizhen.
