One day in 2010, Fu Ya was lying weakly on the hospital bed. At that time, although she was extremely ill, she looked very calm. Because she is very aware of her physical condition, and her life will soon come to an end.

Fu Ya lay weakly, looking with relief and nostalgia at his children who were gathered around the bed with red and swollen eyes and tears streaming down their cheeks. He tried his best to smile, trying to comfort them.

Unexpectedly, seeing her like this, they choked and cried even harder.

Fu Ya smiled helplessly and looked at the relatives beside her with nostalgia, gesturing for them to come closer. She had something to tell her... She said slowly but firmly: "After I die, don't be buried with your father. Let him be buried with you." Martyr Wang Genying was buried together..."

Soon after, Fu Ya closed his eyes tiredly, and the suppressed crying in the ward suddenly became louder.

She passed away at the age of 92.

Why did Fu Ya make such a choice? She and Chen Geng had been in love for 18 years. Why didn't she and Chen Geng be buried together, but Chen Geng and martyr Wang Genying were buried together? What's the meaning behind this?

• [Love at first sight, mutual admiration]

The story of Fu Ya and Chen Geng begins in 1940.

On that day, Fu Ya, as a member of the art troupe, went to the troupe leader Wang Zhitao’s house to pick up props while chatting and laughing with other actors.

There, Fu Ya met Chen Geng for the first time, who was recuperating in bed at Wang Zhitao's home.

While everyone was chatting, Fu Ya couldn't help but feel good about Chen Geng's cheerful and open-minded appearance even though he was injured. And Chen Geng also caused waves in his heart because of Fu Ya's handsome appearance and smart and elegant manners.

Wang Zhitao saw all this and smiled knowingly. After they left, he couldn't help but tease Chen Geng. It turned out that this borrowed prop was just an opportunity he deliberately created for the two of them.

At that time, it had been nearly a year since the death of Chen Geng’s wife, martyr Wang Genying. Wang Zhitao couldn’t bear to see Chen Geng fall into pain from time to time due to memories, and often came to chat with him during work breaks.

One day, Wang Zhitao accidentally asked Chen Geng how he was doing recently while chatting.

Chen Geng didn't want him to worry, so he dragged his sick body and smiled deliberately: "Yes, it's very good now. We have horses, guns, and guards, but we just lack a wife!"

Wang Zhitao called his wife Wu Jing, After some discussion, the chance encounter was deliberately created.

Chen Geng's heroic name has long been familiar to everyone in the army, so when other actors surrounded Chen Geng and kept asking him about the legendary stories of marching and fighting, Fu Ya also fell in love with Chen Geng at first sight.

Afterwards, Chen Geng learned what happened behind that "accidental encounter" and asked himself seriously. Soon, he began to attack Fu Ya.

Chen Geng's way of pursuing people is different from others. When others were asking for help in pursuit of their beloved girl, he searched for people around Fu Ya and did their work. Facts have proven that the effect of this is significant.

It didn’t take long for Fu Ya to find that people around him began to speak well of Chen Geng. She is a smart girl who understands the hidden secrets. Fu Ya has a good impression of Chen Geng and thinks he is a good marriage partner.

Because Chen Geng not only has a good personality, he also went to a military academy and has a high cultural quality. After being captured by the enemy, he endured severe torture without compromising; while marching and fighting, he was always brave and not afraid of sacrifice.

However, even though Fu Ya was so moved, she still quietly found Chen Geng and declined him politely.

Because there is another person between them, that person is Fu Ya's cousin and her fiancé in her hometown.

After hearing the rejection, Chen Geng was stunned. Instead, he comforted her and respected her opinion. Fu Ya thought for a long time, and soon wrote a letter to his cousin, inviting him to come to Yan'an to participate in the revolution. After some time, she received a rejection letter from her cousin.

Originally, Fu Ya was opposed to the marriage of close relatives.Her brother had two children who could not speak because of a consanguineous marriage. Now, she was even more resistant to getting married to her cousin, who had no love between men and women.

Fu Ya loves revolution and wants to find a like-minded comrade to marry.

At this time, the balance in her heart was leaning more and more towards Chen Geng.

In addition, Fu Ya was also moved by Chen Geng's frankness. When Chen Geng pursued Fu Ya, he never shied away from his affairs with Wang Genying. It was also with Chen Geng that Fu Ya got to know Wang Genying better.

Wang Genying was imprisoned by the enemy for several years. During this period, the enemy threatened and induced her, but she never wavered and never betrayed her beliefs. This made Chen Geng admire her even more, and also made Fu Ya, who listened to Chen Geng's story, feel great admiration.

When Fu Ya listened to Chen Geng's memories, she was also moved by Chen Geng's magnanimous attitude and sincerity towards Wang Genying. Chen Geng's loyalty and depth of love deeply moved Fu Ya. Fu Ya thinks that with such a deep love, he is probably a good person.

In the following years of contact, Fu Ya discovered more and more that Chen Geng's yearning for revolution, seriousness in work, love and respect for her all made her unable to help but feel happy.

Before getting married, Chen Geng made three promises to Fu Ya: "First, I will respect your revolutionary ambition and will not hinder your efforts to advance your future; second, I will not transfer you to be my secretary. ; Third, I will love you forever, this is true. "

On February 25, 1943, they got married in the room specially set aside by Liu Bocheng in the presence of many friends. Fu Ya married his favorite Chen Geng.

• [Gather less and separate more, share weal and woe]

Marriage did not make Fu Ya indulge in the love between men and women. On the contrary, she has always been a very strong person. She often went to the county to participate in the peasant movement. She was very busy at work and would not go home when she was busy. She often came back once or twice a week.

In the year of the Yan'an Rectification Movement, both Fu Ya and Chen Geng returned to Yan'an.

At that time, Chen Geng was in the first department of the party school where senior cadre was, and Fu Ya was in the second department of the party school. Parts 1 and 2 are separated by Yanhe River, so the two don't see each other very often.

Fu Ya participated in a lot of work in the second department and was very busy most of the time. As before, she still couldn't care less about going home when she got busy. When Chen Geng missed her, he would call her. Fu Ya would be particularly angry every time because the way Chen Geng called people was so attention-grabbing.

At that time, whenever Chen Geng thought about Fu Ya, he would take party school cadres who were familiar with him to stand by the river and shout across the river: "Fu Ya is back!"

Such a scene instantly attracted countless attention. At first, everyone was shocked to see such a battle. When they saw that the leader was Chen Geng, they all laughed and couldn't help but tease Fu Ya. Fu Ya's face would turn red with embarrassment every time, and he would get angry with him when he got back.

Once, Chen Geng went to a comrade's house to "cheat" something for Fu Ya.

In 1945, Chen Geng and Fu Ya’s first child was born. Because the conditions in Yan'an were difficult at that time, their family could barely make ends meet by doing spinning work every day and a small allowance from Chen Geng. After the child was born, Fu Ya had little milk to feed the child due to lack of nutrition, which resulted in the child's nutrition failing to keep up.

Chen Geng looked at his haggard wife and children, feeling heartbroken.

He knew that All-China Federation of Trade Unions Chen Shaomin had red dates, walnuts and other things in his cave, so he went to get them quietly while they were away. As a result, as soon as Chen Geng got it, he heard a bunch of people coming back outside talking and laughing. In desperation, he quickly opened the quilt and hid on the bed.

Hiding like this is of no use. As soon as Chen Shaomin and a pair of old comrades looked at the situation in the room, they knew that Chen Geng was coming. Sure enough, a group of people smiled and lifted the quilt, and took a look at Chen Geng who was laughing awkwardly.

Later, they still gave the things to Chen Geng.

However, Fu Ya still didn't eat those things. It turned out that just a few days after getting those things back, a group of wounded soldiers came back from Yan'an.After Fu Ya agreed, he took those things to supplement the nutrition of the soldiers.

Chen Zhijian, the child of Chen Geng and Fu Ya, is thin and lacks calcium due to lack of nutrition. In order to supplement their nutrition, Chen Geng and Fu Ya also thought of a stupid way: bask in the sun. They thought that basking in the sun could replenish calcium.

Chen Zhijian mentioned this incident when he grew up and jokingly said that maybe he was so dark now because he was exposed to too much sun at that time.

Although the conditions were difficult at that time, it was always happy for the family to get together.

Unfortunately, due to various reasons, they have been staying together for a long time.

Because of the war, Chen Geng has been fighting on the front line. Once, Fu Ya missed him so much that he took his son all the way to the front line to find him. Because they had been separated for so long, the son no longer recognized Chen Geng. He asked where this uncle came from and kicked him under the bed.

At that time, Chen Geng looked at his wife and children and was filled with joy, but he soon frowned and asked her to go back quickly. Because the war on the front line is fierce and dangerous every day is very busy. If Fu Ya stays here, other families of soldiers will come soon.

Fu Ya also knew in her heart that in order to support Chen Geng's work, she packed up her things and went back with her son without a good meal for the family. Since they couldn't see each other often, letters became their way of contacting each other.

However, because the combat location was not fixed and transportation was not developed before, it was not easy to receive a letter.

In 1951, when Chen Geng was fighting on the Korean battlefield, he received a letter from Fu Ya's trustee.

Chen Geng got the letter and couldn't help but read it over and over again. Others couldn't help but laugh at him when they saw it, but Chen Geng didn't care. He smiled and said, "People laugh at me, but I am happy." "The anxiety of the past half month has disappeared."

Not only is Chen Geng worried about his family, Fu Ya is also worried about Chen Geng all the time. But once they go to the battlefield, it will be difficult for the two to contact each other. After all, there are only a few cases where letters can be successfully received like this.

At this time, the diary comes in handy. Every time Chen Geng went out to fight, Fu Ya would prepare a notebook for him. When he comes back, the filled diary will be handed over to Fu Ya for safekeeping. Fu Ya has always cherished these diaries.

At that time, Fu Ya, who kept the diaries, may not have thought that these diaries would become her spiritual support after Chen Geng's death.

• 【Death, leaving behind a last wish】

Although Chen Geng was brave and good at fighting and physically strong, his body was not as good as before due to years of war and high-intensity work.

In 1954, Kazakhstan military industry began to take off, but he already felt angina pectoris from time to time. Chen Geng didn't care about this and said: "I will work while I am alive! I will strive to work for the party for another twenty years!"

After that, he plunged into work again.

But unfortunately, his goal was not achieved after all.

In 1957, Chen Geng was sent to the hospital due to myocardial infarction. Two years later, although he felt that his time was running out, he still resisted others' attempts to reduce his workload and hospitalize him.

In 1961, Chen Geng went to Shanghai to recuperate. It happened to be winter vacation at that time, and the organization asked Fu Ya and the children to accompany them to Shanghai to take care of them. Chen Geng, knowing that he didn't have much time, kept "sending" Fu Ya out to work.

Later, when Fu Ya was sorting out his belongings, he discovered that the chest of Chen Geng's shirt had been torn because he often rubbed his painful chest. But at that time, under the arrangement of Chen Geng, Fu Ya was very busy every day and rarely had time to accompany Chen Geng.

One day, Chen Geng suddenly told Fu Ya to visit Wang Genying's mother often in the future. Fu Ya felt a little strange, because they had all visited together before.

Since their marriage, they have been touched by Wang Genying's dedication. They often visit her mother and support her as their own mother. After Wang Genying's death, the old man was greatly hit and his health was not very good. They have been taking care of him with all his heart. This is true for the elderly as well as for children.

At that time, Wang Genying and Chen Geng had a child named Chen Zhifei . When his mother was arrested in 1933, he was just four years old. At such a young age, he did not know what happened at that time, so he cried while waiting for his mother to come back. sleep. Usually, he and his mother sleep together because he is afraid. But that day, he cried until he fell asleep, and his mother did not come back. After

, Chen Zhifei has been living with his grandmother and uncle. But because of the difficult conditions at home, Chen Zhifei began to make a living after he grew up a little. He shined people's shoes and got up at 4 a.m. to sell newspapers wholesale. Due to various reasons such as transportation and communication, he was finally found by Chen Geng when he was 17 years old.

Fu Ya felt sorry for him and always loved him as his own son, and Chen Zhifei also respected Fu Ya very much.

Chen Geng knew this. If possible, he would like to spend more time with his wife and children, but it was too late.

The day before Chen Geng's death, as soon as Fu Ya walked in, Chen Geng said: "Fu Ya, roll out some noodles for me." Looking at her husband's increasingly pale face, Fu Ya's heart suddenly thumped. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chen Geng's face to look even more haggard.

On March 16, 1961, Chen Geng died of illness in Shanghai.

Shortly before his death, he tried to comfort Fu Ya. He struggled to put on a smile and said humorously: "I have two things I'm afraid you won't be able to bear. One, I'm going to die. And, your menopause will not be well."

When he said this, he He also deliberately added: "Your hair will turn white in a flash!"

And Fu Ya was standing by his bed, crying uncontrollably.

Chen Geng was only 58 years old when he died, Fu Ya was 43 years old at the time, and their youngest child was only 5 years old.

After Chen Geng passed away, Fu Ya spent a long time dealing with his grief. With her eyes red and swollen, she began to sort out his belongings. Through those diaries, she seemed to have found the Chen Geng who often joked with her.

In the 1980s, Fu Ya decided to write a biography for Chen Geng. Accompanied by Mu Xin, the former editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily , she found Chen Geng's old comrades one by one and recorded the memories about Chen Geng with the small tape recorder she carried with her.

When Fu Ya got home, she turned on the recording and sorted out the information word by word.

Finally, with her efforts, "Chen Geng's Diary" was published in 1982.

Fu Ya not only wrote a biography for Chen Geng, but also wrote "How to Serve the Country and Take a Daughter's Life" for Chen Geng's first wife, martyr Wang Genying. During the writing process, she shed tears for Chen Geng and Wang Genying more than once.

On January 4, 2010, Fu Ya passed away. Before she passed away, she left an unexpected last wish for Chen Geng to return to his roots. Before her death, she specifically asked her children to move her husband Chen Geng’s mausoleum out of Babaoshan, which symbolizes honor, and bury it with his ex-wife, martyr Wang Genying.

In March 2011, Chen Geng’s descendants were filled with tears and moved and buried Chen Geng, Wang Genying and Fu Ya in Chen Geng’s hometown of Xiangxiang, Hunan.
