He Zizhen's heart is full of no other, and her granddaughter Kong Dongmei deeply feels that her grandmother's illness and longing are intertwined, and every time her condition deteriorates, it stems from the deep nostalgia for her deceased grandfather.
In a short period of time, her only daughter Jiaojiao also followed her father and left, making He Zizhen face the loneliness of the Soviet Union again. In order to give her love and companionship, ** personally arranged for her to move to Shanghai to reunite with her brother Hermione, and at the same time ensure that Jiaojiao served as a family bond, and returned home from Beijing to visit her mother on regular holidays, she called herself "a bridge that maintains the relationship between the two generations".
In Shanghai, He Zizhen not only has the warm company of his relatives, but also the careful care of his comrades-in-arms. Out of concern for her health, everyone is careful not to expose her to ***-related news.
However, there are always unexpected moments in life. In 1954, when the National People's Congress was convened for the first time, ** affectionately delivered an opening speech, and this important moment was broadcast live throughout the country through ** People's Radio.
It so happened that when He Zizhen was having lunch with Herminist, the familiar voice flowed out of the radio. At that moment, she seemed to be frozen, her body was still, her eyes were like torches, she was engrossed in this long-lost voice, and fell into a deep intoxication.
Sister-in-law Li Liying sighed sincerely:"The sound was as loud as a bell. "He Zizhen echoed:"That's right, the voice was as loud as ever, unchanged. "
The radio station repeated the chairman's speech, He Zizhen was intoxicated, and even reached the realm of selflessness, until late at night, when everyone had fallen asleep, she was still immersed in listening. The next morning, everyone woke up to find that the radio had not been turned off all night, only to see He Zizhen listening attentively, and when she saw everyone coming, she said with a little regret:"Why is the radio no longer the chairman's speech? "
When I looked closer, it turned out that the radio had been damaged by a long period of work.
He Zizhen fell ill suddenly, life was like water, eating and sleeping became extravagant, and he fell into a deep coma. The family was so anxious that they immediately sought help from the doctor and reported the news to Li Min.
**After learning about it, I felt heavy and couldn't suppress the grief in my heart, and shed tears for the first time in front of my daughter, this scene was a new experience for Li Min. In the face of He Zizhen's stubbornness and refusal to seek medical treatment, the chairman wrote an affectionate second letter, earnestly telling her to take care of her body and follow the doctor's instructions**, and at the same time reminded her to reduce smoking and entrusted Li Min to accompany her carefully.
**'s kind words were immediate, and He Zizhen regained consciousness in the handwriting and actively cooperated according to the doctor's instructions. When Jiaojiao visited her mother in Shanghai again, He Zizhen's health was miraculous.
Approaching the delicate wedding in 1959, ** on the occasion of the southern tour of Lushan, I seized this opportunity and was eager to discuss with her the lifelong events of my beloved daughter. So, He Zizhen was taken to Lushan like a dream, and in the face of the long-lost chairman, her emotions were like the water of the embankment, tears were rolling, and she was so excited that she couldn't speak, only crying silently.
Time flies, 20 years pass quietly, they have entered the twilight years from youth, the traces of the years have carved deep wrinkles on their faces, and their mood has also undergone changes.
After this conversation lasted for more than an hour, ** got up and said, "Night falls, and we leave it for tomorrow to continue." The farewell only stopped with a slight nod, and the two old men silently turned back to their rooms.
No one knows the details of their meeting, but it can be seen from the follow-up reactions: He Zizhen sighed excitedly, "* is still like that"; *** was gloomy, he commented: "He Zizhen's answer is off topic. ”
He Zizhen suddenly felt unwell after the trip to Lushan, and his condition worsened after returning to Nanchang, leaving the people around him helpless. They decided to turn to Jiaojiao for help, and the urgency was conveyed through letters.
** Hearing the news that He Zizhen is seriously ill, he was deeply surprised and fell into deep thought. After two days of thinking, he decisively ordered the general office to prepare a special plane and personally escort Jiaojiao to Nanchang to fulfill his filial piety.
Before Jiaojiao set off, ** affectionately advised: "Be sure to take good care of your mother and ensure her health." He also made special mention of the two baskets of carefully selected fruits, "which may quench her thirst and give her some comfort." ”
Under the careful care of his beloved daughter, He Zizhen's body is miraculous**. Her feelings for *** are deep and sincere, and every improvement on the sickbed comes from deep longing.
The meeting in Lushan became their farewell, and since then heaven and man have been separated forever. Now, Kong Dongmei sensibly takes her elderly mother to her side, continuing the filial piety that she failed to fulfill in person.
Although the memory of getting along with her grandmother when she was a child is still shallow, there is a moment that is deeply imprinted in Kong Dongmei's heart: in 1976, when the whole country was immersed in grief, her grandmother was surprisingly calm.
This contrast puzzled Kong Dongmei, who questioned why her grandmother did not react significantly after losing her beloved. However, what is hidden behind this calm is the endless affection and tenacity of the grandmother for ***.
Kong Dongmei deeply realized that the predicament this time was equally severe, but the emotions hidden deep in her heart were like a backlog of storms, which did not explode at the moment of death, but over time, showing up year by year.
On the autumn night of 1977, He Zizhen stuck to her small study, leaning on the spliced chair and falling asleep, leaving only the slightly open window crack to resist the cold. The coldness invaded her dreams and quietly triggered a stroke.
On the surface, He Zizhen is still tenacious, but deep down, the departure of ** is like a silent blow, and the spiritual world has been overwhelmed. The longing for the loss of sustenance, like a boundless haze, quietly eroded her health until the illness broke out.
In 1978, two years after the death of the great man, He Zizhen finally realized his heart's trip to Beijing, despite his illness. Accompanied by her loved ones, she arrived at the *** Memorial Hall in a wheelchair, and in front of the statue of the chairman, her tears welled up like a spring.
If she can act, she will definitely touch it with her own hands, and express endless sorrow. When she died five years later, He Zizhen did not take away any material wealth, only those few pieces of deep steel, and in order to take them out, she did not hesitate to leave her homeland and go to the Soviet Union, at the cost of losing the love of her life.
These steels are irreplaceable emotional bonds in her life.
Behind Ms. He Zizhen, her ashes were placed in the sacred soil of Babao Mountain, symbolizing the eternal recognition of her revolutionary contributions and her reunion with her dear comrades-in-arms.
