Xia Minghan's daughter Xia Yun and his lover
Preface
On March 18, 1928, just as Xia Minghan returned to his residence in Hankou Oriental Hotel, the traitor Song Ruolin took the military and police to block Xia Minghan in the house. Afterwards, Xia Minghan was taken to prison. After being arrested, Xia Minghan was treated inhuman by the enemy in prison, and beat him out several times, but he did not reveal any secrets from Xia Minghan's mouth. The angry enemy decided to kill him.
In the early morning of March 20, the enemy took Xia Minghan to the execution ground of Yujili, Hankou. The enemy asked Xia Minghan what else she said, and Xia Minghan shouted, "Yes, bring me paper and pen!"
The enemy didn't know, and thought he was going to write a confession, so he brought him paper and pen. Looking at the white paper in front of him, Xia Minghan wrote " Internship Poems ":
"It doesn't matter if you behead your head, as long as the ideology is true. Kill Xia Minghan, and there are people who will come later!"
After Xia Minghan died, he left his half-year-old daughter Xia Chiyun and his mother Zheng Jiajun depended on each other, and lived a difficult life with the meager money earned by Zheng Jiajun as a servant...
Chairman Mao: I see you two suitable
1917, under the influence of enlightened mother, 17-year-old Xia Minghan went against his grandfather's wish and entered the mechanical department of the Third A Industrial School of Hunan Province to study. During this period, Xia Minghan was exposed to various new things and new ideas.

1918, Wu Peifu captured Hengyang . Xia Minghan hated such a thing after witnessing the trauma caused to the people by the warlord melee.
Later, with the help of Tongmenghui member Qiu Hailan , Xia Minghan made several like-minded friends, and they all formed the revolutionary group Sand Club together to engage in the struggle against the Beiyang warlords.
1919, the May Fourth Movement broke out. New thoughts quickly swept across the land of China. Xia Minghan and some progressive classmates carried out patriotic publicity activities and joined forces with some social wise men to telecommunicate the struggle of Beijing students.
On June 17, the Hunan Student Federation was established, and Xia Minghan was elected as the third Director-General. During this period, Xia Minghan led the investigation team and the student volunteers to the warehouses and shops to check Japanese goods, and held a "Japanese goods burning conference" to support the boycott of Japanese goods.
In the autumn of 1920, under the introduction of He Shuheng, Xia Minghan met Chairman Mao. The two chatted very well. Xia Minghan admired Chairman Mao's extensive knowledge and revolutionary ideals. Chairman Mao also admired Xia Minghan's firm will and hard-working efforts. Soon, Xia Minghan and Chairman Mao became like-minded friends.
Not long after, Xia Minghan joined the Hunan Self-Study University founded by Chairman Mao and became the first group of students. Here, Xia Minghan read a large number of progressive books and magazines and made greater progress in his thoughts.

1921, under the introduction of Chairman Mao and He Shuheng, Xia Minghan joined the Communist Party of China. On the day he joined the party, Xia Minghan was very excited. After returning home, he raised his fist with his right hand and felt full of strength.
In January 1922, during the workers' strike, the Zhao Hengti government killed Huang Ai, the leader of Hunan Labor Union, and Pang Renquan, , covering Changsha with a white horror.
Later, Chairman Mao found Xia Minghan and others, and everyone held a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Finally, everyone decided that Xia Minghan, Guo Liang and Chen Youkui would come forward to organize workers to hold a memorial service for the sacrificed Huang Ai and Pang Renquan. In addition, mass marchs should be organized to call on the Zhao Hengti government's crimes.
In September 1922, Hunan Self-Study University opened an tutoring school , with Chairman Mao as the director of the instructor, He Shuheng as the chief, and Xia Minghan as the director of academic affairs. The following year, the Zhao Hengti government filed a crime of "the theory advocated is incorrect and hindering public security" for Hunan Self-Study University and sealed it off.
Then, most of the teachers and students of this school were transferred to Xiangjiang Middle School. Xia Minghan also came to Xiangjiang Middle School and served as a teacher.Regarding this history, Xie Juezai recalled:
"There was no teacher in Xiangjiang Middle School in the Party. He was transferred to teach mathematics. He had never taught mathematics, but in order to be responsible to the students, he was responsible to the party. He studied hard and created new teaching methods. He was very popular with students and became a good professor of arithmetic and algebra."
1924, Xia Minghan was appointed as a member of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, responsible for the work of the Agricultural Commission. Not long after, Xia Minghan served as the Minister of Organization, Minister of Farmers and Secretary of the Changsha Prefectural Committee. During
, Xia Minghan trained a large number of farmers' movement cadres and sent them to the National Farmers' Movement Training Center in Guangzhou for study.
Later, in order to better carry out the peasant movement, Xia Minghan also sent his younger brothers, Xia Mingzhen, Xia Mingbi and his younger sister, who graduated from Guangzhou Agricultural Lecture Institute and Changsha Political Lecture Institute, to the countryside to carry out work. During this period, with Xia Minghan's efforts, Hengyang's peasant movement became one of the best regions in Hunan's peasant movement.
In December, Chairman Mao returned to Hunan and carried out the peasant movement while recuperating. Chairman Mao was very satisfied with the results of Xia Minghan's work in Hengyang, Hunan.
In early 1925, under the introduction of colleague Xiong Jinding , Xia Minghan met Xiong Jinding's cousin Zheng Jiajun. At that time, Zheng Jiajun was a female worker at Changsha Xiangxiu Factory, and her needlework and embroidery skills were very excellent.
Once, when a rickshaw worker in Shanghai was on strike, Xia Minghan and Zheng Jiajun marched not far away. Later, the enemy fired the parade.
Zheng Jiajun's old photo
When he looked up, Zheng Jiajun happened to see an enemy pointing his gun towards Xia Minghan. Zheng Jiajun rushed towards Xia Minghan without thinking much. Xia Minghan was knocked down, but Zheng Jiajun was hit by the enemy's bullet.
Later, Zheng Jiajun was sent to the hospital for treatment by Xia Minghan. During his hospitalization, Xia Minghan often came to visit him. In the hospital, Xia Minghan was busy taking care of Zheng Jiajun. Looking at Xia Minghan's back, Zheng Jiajun smiled, but unexpectedly, the wound was moved, which made her cry. After seeing this, Xia Minghan quickly took out his handkerchief, wiped Zheng Jiajun's tears, and asked her worriedly if she was fine.
Soon, the two were attracted by each other's noble personality and morality and developed admiration. Not long after, Xia Minghan and Zheng Jiajun, who had common revolutionary ideas, developed feelings for each other. During this period, when mentioning Xia Minghan, Zheng Jiajun said many times, "Minghan is the most powerful."
One day in April 1926, Chairman Mao came to Xia Minghan's room and saw Xia Minghan washing clothes. He smiled and said, "Minghan, it's time to find a partner! Isn't Zheng Jiajun very nice to you?"
Chairman Mao's words made Xia Minghan blush, buried his head deeper, rubbed his clothes, and said shyly: "Hello Jiajun! Hello Jiajun!"
Seeing this scene, Chairman Mao said: "You two have common ideals and sentiments, they are in harmony, and they are in harmony. I think you are very suitable for you. Let's get married soon!"
Xia Minghan and Zheng Jiajun's life photo
On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, with the matchmaking of Chairman Mao as a matchmaker, Xia Minghan and Zheng Jiajun entered the palace of marriage at Qingshuitang. On the wedding day, Li Weihan, He Shuheng, Xie Juezai and others came to congratulate him, and everyone was very happy.
The gift He Shuheng brought was an ink cartridge and a pen holder. Li Weihan gave a pair of exquisite small pots, and Yi Lirong gave an goldfish tank , with the big red wedding letters clipped on it. In addition, everyone also gave them a couplet:
"Only Jiajun is better in the world, who is better than Minghan in the world?" Zheng Jiajun treats this couplet as a treasure and has always kept it with him. Later, in , the anti-Japanese war , due to the urgent situation, it moved frequently, but it was still lost. Zheng Jiajun felt very regretful about this.
Before the Spring Festival in 1927, Xia Minghan and Zheng Jiajun moved to No. 1, Wangluyuan. There is another family living in the yard, namely Chairman Mao and his wife Yang Kaihui. The two families get along very well, better than the family.

At that time, Xia Minghan worked outside during the day and returned home at night, and squeezed out time to teach Zheng Jiajun to learn literacy and learn cultural knowledge. Zheng Jiajun is very smart and hardworking, and learns very quickly.
On New Year’s Eve, there is already a festive atmosphere outside, but Xia Minghan is still busy with work outside and has not come back. Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Jiajun began to clean the housework and clean the inside and out.
Chairman Mao wrote a pair of Spring Festival couplets and sent them to Xia Minghan. Zheng Jiajun was very happy about this. After finishing the housework, he brought a couplet and posted it happily. While she posted, she sang:
"Golden flower seeds, blooming red flower , and once it blooms to poor families. Poor families, the world will be like the world..."
was singing, Xia Minghan was back, and when he heard his wife singing happily, he asked with a smile: "You sang so well, where did you learn this?" Hearing her husband's praise, Zheng Jiajun He was a little embarrassed and said with a blushing face, "Sister Kaihui taught me."
Xia Minghan was very happy when he heard this, and said to Jiajun, "You have a good voice, sing well, and have a strong memory. We will squeeze in time to help you learn culture well."
Zheng Jiajun also likes learning culture very much, but what he learned is not as difficult as before, and he feels more and more difficult. Zheng Jiajun is worried that learning will not make things difficult for her husband, and delays her husband's work and rest, so he acts a little hesitant.
In response to this, Xia Minghan felt it in his heart and felt pain in his heart. He hugged her and encouraged her, "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are interested. We are all for the revolution, and learning culture is also for the revolution."
With the encouragement of her husband, Zheng Jiajun studied harder. Seeing his wife like this, Xia Minghan also taught her more energetic. Sometimes, some instructions are too difficult to understand, so Xia Minghan teaches her in different ways, sometimes making up stories, and sometimes using jokes to inspire her to learn. Under Xia Minghan's guidance, Zheng Jiajun grew up very fast.
That's it. With the help of Xia Minghan, Zheng Jiajun learned many words, and also learned to write poems, lyrics and couplets. Xia Minghan was very happy to see that his wife made great progress.
The revolution failed, Xia Minghan's work was transferred underground, Zheng Jiajun was not scared, and often accompanied Minghan on the office and gave secrets to the meeting. Sometimes, for work needs, Zheng Jiajun pretended to be a daughter of a famous family and noble wife, and became Xia Minghan's right-hand man for revolutionary activities, helping her husband Xia Minghan deal with the enemy.
Once, Xia Minghan wanted to go to Pingjiang on duty. For the convenience of access, Xia Minghan disguised himself as a big businessman, and Zheng Jiajun also wore wealthy and gorgeous clothes, just like a rich wife. On the way, Xia Minghan was followed by spies. With the cooperation of Zheng Jiajun, Xia Minghan successfully got rid of the enemy and walked out of Changsha safely.
Chairman Mao
In June, Xia Minghan was appointed as member of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Organization. Not long after, Chairman Mao returned to Hunan and discussed with the Hunan Provincial Party Committee the plan for the autumn harvest uprising . According to this plan, Xia Minghan arranged their respective work plans for party organizations at all levels to cooperate with the Autumn Harvest Uprising.
In September, the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Chairman Mao broke out. Soon after, the uprising was frustrated and was forced to move to Jinggangshan . Later, the Hunan Provincial Committee appointed Xia Minghan as Secretary of the Ping (Jiang) Liu (Yang) Special Committee to cooperate with the revolutionary struggle in Jinggangshan.
Xia Minghan: Chi Yun was lonely and hoped to achieve success
1927 lunar month 26, Zheng Jiajun was happy to add a thousand gold to Xia Minghan. Thinking of his goal, Xia Minghan called his daughter Xia Chiyun. Zheng Jiajun also likes this name very much.
During that time, Xia Minghan was very happy. As long as he had time, he would hold his daughter and accompany her to grow up. Looking at the joyful look on her husband's face, Zheng Jiajun was very happy.
Thinking of her husband's career, Zheng Jiajun was also a little worried. She hoped that her husband could grow up safely with her daughter. For this reason, Zheng Jiajun often hugged his daughter and covered her husband.
One day, Zheng Jiajun saw her husband pretending to be a big businessman again, and knew that the task was unusual, so he said worriedly, "Where are you going to go today, will I accompany you?" Xia Minghan replied, "You can't go to the Soviet consulate."
Many times of experience told Zheng Jiajun that he must not be able to help with his husband's affairs, so he reminded him with concern: "The wind outside is tight, you must be careful!"
In order not to make Zheng Jiajun worry, Xia Minghan smiled and said, "Are you afraid?" Zheng Jiajun looked at his daughter who was still in the cradle and said with tears: "It doesn't matter, I'm just afraid something happened to you! "Xia Minghan took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the tears from Zheng Jiajun's face, and said firmly:
"Jia Jun, the big stones will not die, the knife will cut off the water and water will flow even more. Haven't I read "Grass" with you? Chiang Kai-shek is a big stone, we are the grass on the wilderness, he can't crush us, and he can't crush us, and he can't burn us; Chiang Kai-shek waved his big sword everywhere, and we are the endless river water, he can't chop us, and he can't kill us, and he can't kill us, and if the revolutionaries fall down, it will arouse millions of people to stand up!"
After saying that, Xia Minghan hugged his wife and walked out. Looking at her husband's back, Zheng Jiajun became even more worried, but for the sake of the revolutionary cause, she still made herself stronger.
All day, Zheng Jiajun walked around the room with his daughter in his arms, unable to eat or sit still. Finally at night, the door opened with a creaking sound, and Xia Minghan walked in and closed the door casually. Looking at her husband's familiar figure, Zheng Jiajun finally felt relieved.
Then, Xia Minghan told Zheng Jiajun that he bought her good things. Zheng Jiajun walked up and asked, "What good thing?" Xia Minghan said mysteriously, "Guess?"
So, Zheng Jiajun began to guess according to her husband's preferences, and after guessing several times but not right. Xia Minghan smiled and said, "I'll put a ring on you and let you wear it on your fingers. Are you satisfied?" As he said that, Xia Minghan stretched out his hand, with a red bead in his hand.
Thinking that her husband was determined to be in the revolution and was thinking about inlaid a ring for himself, Zheng Jiajun said with heartache: "I don't want to wear a ring." Xia Minghan said with a smile: "If you don't want to inlaid a ring, just look at this red bead often and give you a souvenir!"
After hearing Xia Minghan's words, Zheng Jiajun took the red bead from Xia Minghan's hand and happily put it away. Immediately afterwards, Xia Minghan said, "I have written two lines of poetry on paper." Zheng Jiajun opened the paper wrapped in red beads and saw two lines of poetry:
"I give red beads like a heart, I hope your heart is like my heart!"
In early 1928, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to transfer Xia Minghan to work in Hubei Provincial Committee.

On March 18, Xie Juezai found Xia Minghan and said to him: "Transporter Song Ruolin is unreliable, you must be careful!" After hearing Xie Juezai's words, Xia Minghan immediately returned to the Hankou Oriental Hotel where he lived, packed up his things, and prepared to transfer. At this moment, Song Ruolin rushed into the house with the military and police and took Xia Ming away.
In prison, Xia Minghan was tortured by the enemy and beat him out several times. Xia Minghan knew that he might not be able to go out alive, so he wrote a suicide note to Zheng Jiajun:
"Dear Mrs. Jun:
Comrades once said that only Jiajun is good in the world. Today I think you are a talented woman. I have no worries, no tears, no selfless thoughts in my life, don't be sad and sad.
Looking at the charming world, how many couples have lived together for a hundred years? Mingzhen has long regarded it as idle.
each to get what he needs. One day, the revolutionary cause will be passed down from generation to generation. The red beads keep their longing for love, the red clouds are lonely and hope to fulfill their hopes, insist on the revolution to continue my ambition, and temporarily pass on the truth! "
inscription by Xie Juezai on Xia Minghan's photo
March 20, Xia Minghan was executed bravely at the age of 28.Before his execution, Xia Minghan wrote the poem "Political Intention" in front of the enemy, expressing his firm determination to the revolution.
Xia Yun: His comrades care about me as much as their own children
After Xia Minghan's sacrifice, his half-year-old daughter Xia Chiyun and his mother Zheng Jiajun depend on each other. For convenience, Zheng Jiajun changed his daughter's name to Zheng Yiyun. During
, someone saw Zheng Jiajun with his daughter alone and life was very difficult, so he advised her to marry her again. Zheng Jiajun refused this. Later, Zheng Jiajun took his children to Shanghai.
After arriving in Shanghai, Zheng Jiajun found the party organization and took the initiative to ask to engage in underground work, continue her husband Xia Minghan's will, and do something within her ability for the revolution. In order to live, Zheng Jiajun picked up his skills again, became a servant in a wealthy family, and became an embroiderer.
Later, my daughter gradually grew up. In order to support his daughter to go to school, Zheng Jiajun worked even harder. During that time, Zheng Jiajun did embroidery work day and night for his meager income, but he still couldn't make ends meet.
After the fall of Shanghai, Zheng Jiajun and his daughter had a harder life in Shanghai, so they took their daughter back to Changsha after several twists and turns.
After learning that Zheng Jiajun returned to Changsha, the local party organization quickly found them and sent them some money. Looking at the money in front of him, although Zheng Jiajun needs it very much. Thinking of her husband giving everything for the revolution, Zheng Jiajun still rejected the good intentions of the organization. She said: "I still have a pair of hands that can support my daughter and myself through my own labor. Please give the money and goods to other martyrs' widows and orphans who need care."
In this way, Zheng Jiajun relied on his hard-working hands to support his daughter in Changsha. He never asked the local government for help, let alone make a request to the organization. Regarding the life during that period, Xia Yun recalled:
"I was in elementary school in Changsha. Before I graduated, the Japanese called me and my mother took me south to flee. At that time, the Kuomintang Hunan Provincial Provisional Government was located there. With a refugee certificate, I studied intermittently in the Hunan Provisional Middle School in Hunan for 3 years."
On October 1, 1949, Chairman Mao announced on the Tiananmen Gate Tower: Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was established!
Zheng Jiajun was very happy about this and felt that the revolution pursued by her husband Xia Minghan finally won. This year, Xia Yun was 22 years old.
Later, Xia Yun was admitted to Wuhan University with excellent results. However, after only half a year of study, Xia Yun transferred to Beijing Agricultural University. In response, Xia Yun said:
"At that time, many of my father's comrades were very caring for me. Chairman Mao asked about studying at Agricultural University . Before that, I had found Li Xiannian in Wuhan. He said he could help me arrange a job, but when I said I wanted to study, he told me to go to Beijing. I was really moved at that time. Although my father was gone, his comrades cared about me like their children. It made me feel how respected my father was when he sacrificed his father for the revolution."
Xia Yun graduated from Beijing Agricultural University (now China Agricultural University ). After graduation, under the organization's allocation, Xia Yun participated in work in Yichun, Jiangxi, Jiujiang, and other places with harsh conditions and harsh environments, and gradually grew into my country's first generation of non-ferrous metals.
In 1960, Xia Yun returned to Changsha to visit her mother. During this period, Xie Juezai came to visit Zheng Jiajun and wrote the poem "Poem of Justice" he wrote behind Xia Minghan's photo. Later, this photo was taken by Xia Yun.
In 1975, Zheng Jiajun passed away. Xia Yun lost her mother who loved her and felt very painful.
Xia Yun and his children
In life, as a descendant of martyr Xia Minghan, Xia Yun takes "indifferent to fame and fortune" as her life motto. After retirement, Xia Yun has been living silently in Jiujiang and has never made any requests to the organization. Xia Yun was very satisfied with such a life. She said:
"My father dedicated himself to the revolution, and my mother silently used her words and deeds throughout her life to be a qualified revolutionary.At this point, my children and I should learn from my mother. She was very poor and low-key all her life. She did so much underground work for the Party before liberation, but she did not make any requests to the Party after liberation... Life cannot be luxurious, and my children and I have nothing special. They all live on their own abilities... Although the era we live in is different from the past, and the material life is richer, the hard and simple style cannot be lost. The persistent spirit of revolutionary ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for their ideals and beliefs must be learned and inherited! ”
