On September 27th, a day worth remembering, in the afternoon, New China held a grand award ceremony, and the top ten marshals and ten generals were born! ** The right-hand man Chen Geng was also awarded the rank of general on the same day.
An elegant glasses and a majestic military uniform set off Chen Geng's smart and chic image to make it more heroic. After the meeting, Chen Geng went straight to ***'s home in the West Flower Hall, even one step ahead of ***.
Sister Deng! Sister Deng! What do you think of my military uniform? Before he entered the door, Chen Geng shouted excitedly. **'s wife Deng Yingchao walked out of the back room with a smile and said, "It's so handsome, it looks many years younger all of a sudden!" ”
Sister Deng, I came here on purpose, but I didn't just want you to praise me! After Chen Geng finished speaking, the secretary also arrived panting with a camera. It turned out that Chen Geng wanted to take a photo with Sister Deng.
Deng Yingchao and Chen Geng held hands and pressed the shutter, and a precious piece of history was born. Through this **, we can understand that Chen Geng and his wife are not only comrades-in-arms, but also close friends for nearly 30 years.

However, **, as the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, was busy directing the provincial and Hong Kong strikes and could not pick her up in person.
So, he entrusted his secretary Chen Geng to pick up his wife at the dock. Chen Geng held the *** and came to the dock early. When the ship arrived, the passengers disembarked one after another, Chen Geng looked at the simple and hurried passengers, his eyes were straight, but he still did not recognize which woman was the quiet and lovely person on the **.
Chen Geng watched the passengers on the dock leave one by one, and he was the only one standing there. He was angry and decided to go back to Director Zhou to denounce it, because he had been looking for the ** given to him a few years ago.
However, when he walked to the gate of the Whampoa Military Academy, he saw a woman wearing a white shirt and a black dress getting off the rickshaw next to him. He immediately took out the ** and looked at it carefully, and found that the woman in front of him was the person on the **.
Chen Geng hurriedly stepped forward and said to her with a smile: "Hello, Comrade Deng Yingchao, I am Director Zhou's secretary Chen Geng, he can't get away from something, let me come to the dock to pick you up, and apologize to you."
However, I was so clumsy that I didn't recognize you. After speaking, Chen Geng also gave Deng Yingchao a standard military salute. Deng Yingchao was amused by his playful and solemn appearance.
The next day, under the enthusiastic management of Chen Geng and others, ** and Deng Yingchao held a wedding at the Peace Restaurant in Guangzhou. Although it was said to be a wedding, only a few revolutionary friends actually attended, and everyone had a light meal together.
During the difficult years of the revolution, Deng Yingchao settled in Guangzhou and became acquainted with Chen Geng. Chen Geng's humor can always bring people endless laughter, and their friendship warms every corner of that era.
In the marriage of ***, Chen Geng provided help, and Chen Geng's marriage naturally received strong support from ***.
Chen Geng is not experienced in chasing girls, he is a novice. In 1923, while working as a teacher at a night school in Shanghai, Chen Geng met his future wife, Wang Genying.
Wang Genying was a female worker at the Jardine Yarn Factory in Shanghai, and she was also a progressive woman at the time. She was an active participant in the workers' movement, and as soon as she was enrolled in the evening school, she signed up.
Chen Geng, who was a teacher at the time, was deeply excited by this like-minded woman who fell in love at first sight. However, the urgency of the revolutionary situation meant that the two could only maintain a short-lived teacher-student relationship.
The next encounter was at the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1927, and this encounter made the hearty Chen Geng determined to pursue Wang Genying. However, Chen Geng's courtship method was a little stunned, he actually wrote a small note at the conference, and boldly wrote on it: "Can you marry me!" ”
Wang Genying's bravery and Chen Geng's sincerity finally formed a good relationship under the protection of the *** couple. She pasted Chen Geng's note on the wall of the venue, and conveyed her admiration for Chen Geng three times by sending one sticker at a time.
**After hearing about this, I came to teach Chen Geng and said: "The art of love is not only a pursuit, but also a way to maintain it." Subsequently, Deng Yingchao also enthusiastically found Wang Genying and explained Chen Geng's behavior.
It turned out that Wang Genying had long been fond of Chen Geng, but Chen Geng's courtship was too obvious and made her at a loss. Under the matchmaking of *** couple, Wang Genying lifted his guard and started a romantic relationship with Chen Geng.
They found that Chen Geng was not only talented and noble, but also an ideal partner. Soon after, the two got married, and they were grateful for the love of the *** couple.
**Husband and wife and Chen Geng support each other in life, and Chen Geng is as likable as a little brother. But in wartime, Chen Geng became an irreplaceable pillar! Whenever he recalls the experience of the Long March, Deng Yingchao is full of gratitude to Chen Geng.
In October 1934, the Red Army began a long march that lasted two years and five months. When they were stationed in Maoergai, Sichuan, due to long-term fatigue and hunger, ** suddenly developed a high fever.
The military doctors diagnosed him with liver abscess, a disease with an extremely high mortality rate, and they could do nothing but hope that he would recuperate. Deng Yingchao was guarding the *** day and night by the side, and Chen Geng also frowned, determined to do his best to help him.
When the prime minister had a high fever, Chen Geng recalled that when he worked in the CCP's special intelligence department, he once disguised himself as a doctor to physically cool patients. He realized that the first task was to physically cool the prime minister, so he immediately led the team to the shade of the hill, took a lot of snow, wrapped it in an oilcloth, and sent it to Deng Yingchao.
Deng Yingchao applied snow to the prime minister's forehead and liver, and the two guarded the prime minister day and night. Although Chen Geng suffers from a leg disease, he insists on staying around.
Under their careful care, the prime minister finally overcame this serious illness.
After the end of the Long March, the three established a deep comradeship, and Deng Yingchao was deeply grateful to Chen Geng. Chen Geng believes that the award conference is an important moment in his life, and it must be attended by the first couple.
After the award ceremony, he immediately came to the West Flower Hall. ** Conferring the title on him, Sister Deng took a photo with him, for him, this is a perfect ceremony.
Although there will always be some parting in life, Chen Geng left us prematurely after 6 years due to illness at the age of 58.
After learning the bad news, ** was extremely sad, he stayed alone in the room for a long time, and the guards outside the door could even hear him sobbing. After easing his emotions a little, the prime minister immediately called the *** office *** and begged to wait for him to return before holding a memorial service, and he would personally see off this good brother on his last journey.
On March 25, 1961, the public memorial meeting of General Chen Geng presided over by *** was held in Zhongshan Hall in Zhongshan Park, Beijing.
**Personally wrote down "Comrade Chen Geng's ashes", and this deep revolutionary friendship was buried with the ashes. Today is the wedding anniversary of *** and Deng Ying's super sister, we use this special way to remember the pioneers and pay tribute to the great man!
