In the summer of 1953, Deng Yingchao put a few good dishes on the table and looked expectantly at the direction of the door. When a middle-aged woman walked in with Premier Zhou, she immediately met her.
"Sister Deng, long time no see!"
This middle-aged woman is named Fan Guixia. She shook hands with Deng Yingchao excitedly. She had not seen each other for more than 20 years. The three of them still had endless things to say until they sat at the dining table.
Fan Guixia
"I told the guards that I was once the wife of Premier Zhou. I hope to meet the Prime Minister, which scared them."
Fan Guixia described the expression of the guards at that time. Deng Yingchao and Premier Zhou couldn't help laughing. Thinking of the incident back then, the three of them felt like they were in a different life. After the meal, the Prime Minister insisted on buying her a ticket before they could feel at ease.
Who is this Ms. Fan Guixia? Is she really Premier Zhou’s “wife”?
special task, see the Prime Minister
"Xiao Fan, I will remind you again, the organization will hand over this important task to you, and you must not make any mistakes!"
Fan Guixia nodded firmly. Although she didn't know which leader was coming, she would definitely take care of her carefully.

1927 In 1927, the Kuomintang government began to "suppress" Communist soldiers nationwide, and people were panic everywhere. In order to preserve their strength, our comrades in our party used various fake identities to escape the search, but many people were still brutally killed.
This time Fan Guixia received was to assist a leader in pretending to be a couple and avoiding the Kuomintang's search. Faced with this task, she was only 22 years old and wanted to refuse at the beginning.
After all, she already has a lover, and when she thinks of pretending to be a couple and having sex with strangers day and night, she feels uncomfortable all over.
But after the leader finished talking about the situation, she changed her mind. This strange "fake husband" suffered from an emergency and could not be transferred. His existence is extremely important to the party organization and there must be no mistakes.
Fan Guixia thought of her original intention of joining the party organization and her father who sacrificed to protect herself, and her heart felt infinite courage.
Not long ago, during the April 15th massacre in Guangzhou, she was reading a book at home without any preparation. The military and police suddenly came to her home. They got clues and knew that the daughter of this family also joined the Women's Liberation Association and the Communist Youth League.
The situation is critical. With the help of her father, Fan Guixia hid in the chimney and escaped the pursuit, but when she returned home, she found that her father was lying in a pool of blood.
It turned out that the military and police could not find her, so they decided to force the father to ask him, but Fan's father refused to tell his daughter's whereabouts. He did not think that his daughter was wrong in joining the Communist Party, and he would never hurt his children.
Fan Guixia's former residence
Finally, the angry and angry military police shot him. He tried hard to hold on for the last breath, and when he saw that his daughter was safe, he died.
Fan Guixia was in pain, but she couldn't wait too much in the critical situation. The neighbors urged her to escape here, so she fled and came to Hong Kong, and then found the organization again.
Now she feels that she has finally become a "protector". She decided to let go of the shyness of a girl before the revolutionary cause and stand up to protect the leader. At this time, she didn't know that this "fake husband" was the famous Premier Zhou.
1927 After the Nanchang Uprising, Premier Zhou led his team south to expand his team in Guangdong, but his running around and long-term command made him physically and mentally exhausted, so he suddenly suffered from falciparum malaria, and was even so weak that he couldn't get out of bed.
Fortunately, a comrade stepped forward at this time, that is, Yang Shihun . Although he was also being hunted by the Kuomintang, he still risked his life to rent a ship and took Premier Zhou to Hong Kong to treat his illness.
The environment in Hong Kong was relatively safe at that time, but everyone still dared not take risks. If the Kuomintang discovered Premier Zhou, it would be a big blow to the Communist Party.
So Yang Shihun contacted the party insiders in Hong Kong to arrange fake identities for them. In order to better cover up, it is best to arrange a "wife" for the Prime Minister, which is not only realistic but also a helper to take care of the Prime Minister.
Therefore, the organization selected Fan Guixia with medical knowledge, and then the facts proved that she did complete this task very well.
Yang Shihun
On that day Fan Guixia came to the arranged mansion and muttered to herself: "I will be Mrs. Li after me. My husband is Mr. Li who comes to Hong Kong to do business..."
As she was paced back and forth in the room, the sound of a car sounded outside the door. She immediately opened the door and looked at the person walking out of the car. When she looked closely, she found that she was an old acquaintance. Isn't this Comrade Yang Shihun!
He was carefully carrying a tall man from the car. The other party was wearing a wide robe and looked very thin. He also wore a felt hat on his head and black-framed glasses. He couldn't see his appearance clearly, and he could only see his sallow face.
and the group did not say much, quickly walked into the room and put the unconscious patient on the bed. When they settled down, Fan Guixia saw the true face of the patient. It turned out to be Premier Zhou!
She was very shocked. Is this still the prime minister who is full of energy and gentle? No matter how weak my hands couldn't be lifted, I looked very haggard.
Only then did she realize how heavy the burden on her body was, and she dared not relax. She vowed to be a good "wife" and never let the enemy hurt the Prime Minister!
pretended to be a couple and took good care of
From this day on, Fan Guixia has been with Premier Zhou. In the first few days, the Prime Minister kept low fever and was always sleepy.
She took the Prime Minister's temperature once an hour and kept changing the cold towel on the Prime Minister's head. At this time, she was very glad that she was born in a doctor's family, so she could make some contributions.
Fan Guixia thought about her time with Deng Yingchao in Guangzhou, when they were engaged in women's liberation together. She admired this brave and resourceful sister very much, and hoped that Premier Zhou could recover soon.
Deng Yingchao and Premier Zhou
When she feeds water and medicine every day, she whispers to the Prime Minister, mentions some things about Deng Yingchao, and also talks about the recent situation. With such careful care and company, the Prime Minister finally woke up.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment and the girl in front of him, Premier Zhou was very alert despite his weakness. It was not until Fan Guixia introduced herself and notified Yang Shihun to come over that the Prime Minister felt relieved.
: The Prime Minister was very grateful to her when she learned that she was taking good care of herself. This time she survived her death, which was inseparable from the efforts of this lesbian. Fan Guixia was embarrassed to hear everyone's praise. Compared to the soldiers who faced the Kuomintang, she did too little.
Shortly after Premier Zhou woke up, he dragged his sick body to understand the recent situation. The more he heard it, his brows became tighter and tighter. His whole body looked like a tense bow and arrow.
Fan Guixia knew that she couldn't help with these major things, but it would definitely not work like this for patients who had just recovered from serious illness, so she thought about making some food to nourish the body.
She bought an old hen outside and cooked a pot of chicken soup. She couldn't bear to drink it in one bite. She put the soft chicken and soup into a bowl and served it to the Prime Minister.
But Premier Zhou's face turned serious when he saw this: "Comrade Xiao Fan, at this time, so many comrades are not clear about their life and death, and the organization is difficult to survive. You still make chicken soup for me, how can I drink it?"
Hearing this, Fan Guixia's eyes turned red. She didn't expect that even if she fell ill in bed, the Prime Minister was still concerned about other comrades. With such a leadership, how could the Communist Party fail?
She understood this painstaking efforts, but she still advised: "I remember, but now you are a patient, so you have to listen to professionals. If you don't recover from your health quickly, how can you have the strength? Isn't that more affecting your work?"
Premier Zhou didn't expect that this girl was so thoughtful at a young age. Seeing that the other party really refused to give up, he had to take it over and said that he would not be the case.
From then on, Fan Guixia also understood the Prime Minister's style better and prepared nutritious and cheap foods carefully. Day by day, the Prime Minister's health finally got better.
After being able to get out of bed and walk around, Premier Zhou asked Fan Guixia to go out to bring newspapers and documents to her, and began to devote herself to work. When she saw that the Prime Minister was exhausted, she came forward to remind him to rest.
When I was free, Premier Zhou would think of his lover and could not help chatting with Fan Guixia: "Do you know Comrade Deng Yingchao? Do you know her news?"
Fan Guixia nodded excitedly: "Of course I know. I have worked with Sister Deng, so you don't have to worry. I asked, and the secretariat said that she should be in Shanghai and there is no danger."
Hearing this, the Prime Minister smiled. He finally felt relieved and was in the mood to chat. Looking at the young Fan Guixia, he cared about her emotional situation.
When Premier Zhou was about to introduce her to her partner, Fan Guixia blushed. She embarrassedly mentioned her lover:
"My boyfriend is also a student of Whampoa Military Academy ! He is from the fourth period and is named Pan Yaofang, but after being sent to Guangning, we broke off contact."
Speaking of this, there was a sadness that could not be hidden on her face. The Prime Minister hurriedly comforted: "This team is here. It should be that he went north, there will be no problem."
Premier Zhou thought about it and hoped that this sincere girl would have a beautiful relationship, so he gave her own opinion: "If he loved you, he would definitely come back to find you. If he didn't come, don't love him again."
Fan Guixia was a little confused, but she also heard the Prime Minister's concern, so she nodded quickly. In the years that followed, she often thought of these conversations, and even understood the Prime Minister's persistence in feelings, and admired this character and responsibility more.
goes their separate ways. After reunited with
, Premier Zhou's health was basically healed, he prepared to go out to attend the meeting, and Fan Guixia was with her as "Mrs. Li".
In order to cover up, she wore gold and silver, learned to smoke and play cards, and acted like a rich wife, but once she returned to her residence, she immediately replaced these things and kept the principles of a Communist Party member firmly in mind.
Fan Guixia can't help but observe the Prime Minister's every move. When she saw that although he had just recovered from a serious illness, he was unwilling to make a car when he went out for a meeting and was only willing to walk, she secretly reminded herself that she must not be corrupted by capitalism .
Premier Zhou appreciated this: "Comrade Xiao Fan, you did a good job. We Communists cannot be involved in this style, we must stick to our original intentions."
Fan Guixia, under the guidance of the Prime Minister, made rapid progress in her thoughts, and then she participated in the Guangzhou Uprising with the encouragement of the Prime Minister. This experience made her unforgettable for her life.
Fan Guixia in his later years
But farewell will always come. Premier Zhou left Hong Kong and was preparing to go to Shanghai to continue to preside over the work. Before leaving, he encouraged Fan Guixia: "We must persist in the struggle, victory will eventually come."
Since then, everyone has been separated from each other and has never met again, but they all live a wonderful life in their respective lives.
1928, Pan Yaofang finally contacted Fan Guixia through the organization. The two lovers got married, but to their regret, the good news failed to notify Premier Zhou.
After the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, the Communist Party organization suffered heavy losses. The couple could not find any news about the party organization, and finally had to give up and return to Pan Yaofang's hometown to live.
Although there is no way to continue to fight on the frontline of the revolution here, Fan Guixia still did not forget the Prime Minister's teachings. She chose to become a teacher who teaches and educates people to cultivate more talents for the country.
This has been done for decades. I originally thought that my life would pass so dullly until 1953 when Fan Guixia was taken to Beijing by her son.
She accidentally learned that the central leaders were all in Zhongnanhai , so she mustered up the courage to go, hoping to see Premier Zhou again. In order to make the guards believe in her, Fan Guixia said the amazing words "I was Premier Zhou's wife."
She thought that even for a minute, she was honored to see Premier Zhou at first sight. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister who was busy with a lot of things not only remembered herself, but also warmly treated her with Sister Deng.
Looking at the stewed chicken soup, roast duck, and stir-fried pork slices on the table, Fan Guixia was deeply moved. These dishes not only showed her nostalgia for the past, but also showed the simplicity of Premier Zhou and his wife.
Fan Guixia and Deng Yingchao took a photo
This time, the three of them had a great time talking. After learning that she finally met her lover and now she has a group of children, the Prime Minister also laughed happily.
When Fan Guixia left, the Prime Minister insisted on buying tickets for her. Deng Yingchao also thanked her repeatedly. This meeting that spanned decades was so warm.
This precious friendship did not end like this. In 1984, Fan Guixia came to Beijing again to visit Deng Yingchao. At this time, Premier Zhou had passed away, and the two living people were covered in white hair.
In 1994, 89-year-old Fan Guixia passed away. Among the three people who talked about ancient and modern times, she was the last one to leave. Before her death, she still missed Premier Zhou and his wife.
Speaking of those years of groping in the dark, Fan Guixia always felt that the Prime Minister was the light that illuminated his life. Even if the great man passed away, the light he brought did not disappear.
Conclusion
In the war era full of gunpowder, the revolutionary friendship between Fan Guixia, Premier Zhou and Sister Deng was pure and great. Is their final reunion a witness to the success of the revolution?
This past story also allows us to see Premier Zhou’s charming style from another perspective. Even if his personal charm lasts for a long time, it is still admirable!
