Premier Zhou is deeply loved by the people. When he died, he saw him off with him for a long street. Everyone who had been with him praised Premier Zhou and rarely had conflicts with others.
But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Premier Zhou apologized to Xu Xiangqian's wife, saying that what happened more than 20 years ago was his mistake.
The storm of sending information
Huang Jie was originally a lady from a wealthy family, but before she could grow up, her father passed away.
Huang Jie grew up under the inspiration of of the "May Fourth" movement, and she is determined to be a new woman.
Foot binding was prevalent at that time, and Huang Jie firmly rejected this bad habit and even refused the arranged marriage arranged for her by his family.
So in 1924, Huang Jie left his home and went to Wuhan.
After Huang Jie arrived in Wuhan, he first studied at the primary school affiliated to Wuchang No. 1 Girls Middle School, and later passed the Hubei Women's Normal School.
1926 After the Northern Expedition Army conquered Wuchang , Wuhan became the center of the national revolution, and the National Government moved to Wuhan.
11, the political department of Whampoa Military Academy also moved to Wuhan. In order to cultivate the backbone of the women's movement, the bill was launched to recruit female students.
Huang Jie, who was attending a women's normal school, was ecstatic when he saw the news of the admissions and thought that this was exactly what she pursued, so he signed up with seven or eight fellow villagers.
This time, Huang Jie was the first to be the first to be a heroic female soldier in the sixth female team of the Whampoa Military Academy.
In the spring of 1928, Huang Jie came to Songzi County on the border of Hunan and Hubei.
The enlightened gentry of the county, Lei Mingze, opened a Xiangshang Girls' School in , Street, He City. Huang Jie first worked as a teacher in this school through the underground party contact, and used this as a cover to actively participate in the preparations for the establishment of the Songzi County Special Branch.
This place is close to the mountainous areas, with poor transportation. In addition, the mass base is good during the Revolution, so the reactionary rule of the old local tyrants and evil gentry is relatively weak.
After the establishment of the Songzi Special Branch of the Communist Party of China, Huang Jie served as secretary.
In March of the same year, the Songzi County Committee of the Communist Party of China was established. Huang Jie first served as secretary and then as the Organization Minister. Soon, she left the girls' school with the pseudonym Guiqing, and went to Xizhai and other places on the junction of Hunan to mobilize the masses to carry out the revolutionary struggle.
1929, under Zhou Yiqun's careful arrangement, Huang Jie arrived in Shanghai.
After Huang Jie arrived in Shanghai, he passed the review of the party organization and was assigned to work in the French Concession South District Committee. After the failure of the Great Revolution, our party turned into underground struggle, and the connections within the party mainly relied on underground transportation.
The comrades engaged in underground transportation are an unknown heroic team that bravely fights against the enemy on the invisible front. In order to keep the party's "bloodline" unobstructed, under the strict surveillance of the Kuomintang military, police and spies, they always risked their arrest and beheading to convey intelligence to the party and connect the connection between superiors and subordinates, and many people sacrificed their precious lives for this.
The transportation work within the party was established as early as the first time of the Kuomintang-Communist cooperation with .
1925, under the leadership of the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee, the Party was equipped with full-time transportation officers. After the failure of the Great Revolution, the Party’s 87 Conference decided to gradually establish a nationwide secret transportation network.
After the Party Central Committee detours to Shanghai, Zhang Baoquan and others were responsible for transportation work. Later, the Central Transportation Bureau was established, which was directly under the leadership of the Central Secretariat.
At that time, there were dozens of organs and groups in Shanghai, all of which were scattered and hidden in homes, shops, hospitals, etc.
There are very few exchanges between agencies, most of them don’t know each other.
The connection between them is communicated by city traffic officers.
A traffic officer is responsible for two or three agencies, all of which are single-line contacts.
At that time, it was also stipulated that when leaders went out, they were not allowed to bring documents on their bodies, and all documents were passed by the traffic officer.
Central Special Correspondence intelligence is sometimes transmitted using the transportation network.
The director of the internal communication department include Zhang Baoquan, Zhang Renya , Gu Yuliang and others.
Zhang Baoquan was arrested and sacrificed when transmitting intelligence in April 1928. Most of the traffic officers were lesbians, most of them were the wives of leaders, such as Zhao Shiyan's wife Xia Zhixu, Ren Bishi's wife Chen Congying, Mao Zemin's wife Qian Xijun, and Chen Tanqiu's wife Xu Quanzhi .
At this time, Huang Jie was working as a traffic officer for Premier Zhou, and some storms occurred because of sending information.
That was in 1930, and Premier Zhou handed over a piece of information to Huang Jie, asking her to send it to Liu Bocheng.
After Huang Jie got it, he disguised himself as a tea bucket as a container for intelligence.
At that time, Liu Bocheng lived in of the French Concession. In order not to attract attention, Huang Jie took a special journey.
Liu Bocheng lives in a remote place, and it is also to avoid people's eyes and ears, so it is difficult to find.
However, underground workers will not be unable to find it, because there was a secret code between underground traffic at that time. If it was safe, then tie a red-headed rope on the window.
As long as you see the red-headed rope, you can generally recognize that this is an intelligence station and know whether it is safe or not. It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone.
Episode 0 Huang Jie finally found Liu Bocheng's residence that day, but did not see the red-headed rope on the window, and she was shocked.
Huang Jie started to panic at this time, because there was no red head rope hanging outside, which means it was not safe and he could not enter.
This is the first time Huang Jie encountered such incidents. She was a little panicked, but she still had top secret information in her hand. What should I do? Is it going in? Or return to the report to Premier Zhou?
Huang Jie wandered around in the spot for a while, but after thinking about it, he decided to abide by the agreement. Without the red-headed rope, he would not enter rashly, so as not to avoid being caught in the jar if Liu Bocheng was exposed at that time.
In this way, Huang Jie tightly protected the information in his hand and returned without looking back.
After returning to the apartment, Huang Jie didn't have time to rest and immediately reported the situation to Premier Zhou.
Premier Zhou is usually a gentle person, gentle and elegant, and will not easily get angry with others, but today he is a little angry when facing Huang Jie.
Huang Jie was also shocked by Premier Zhou's changes. Premier Zhou told him that Liu Bocheng had just called and something could not happen.
After hearing this, Huang Jie wanted to explain, and Premier Zhou then said, "You little girl must be the one who is greedy for fun and misleading things!"
obviously completed the task very seriously, but was labeled as a greedy person for no reason. This made Huang Jie feel very wronged and not only shed tears.
At this time, Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived. Liu Bocheng, the central figure of Huang Jie's conversation with Premier Zhou, came to the residence. Seeing this scene, after listening to Huang Jie's explanation, he comforted her not to worry.
Liu Bocheng said that he would explain this to Premier Zhou.
It turns out that the red-headed rope is indeed not on the window, but Liu Bocheng himself did not have any problems.
The reason why it is not on the window is because Liu Bocheng's wife used it to tie the hen today!
Hearing this, Huang Jie and Premier Zhou couldn't help laughing, and she no longer took this matter to heart.
After all, she did not complete the task first. Premier Zhou usually takes great care of Huang Jie. He is so anxious today because intelligence is indeed very important. Major matters related to the revolution must not be careless.
So Huang Jie can understand Premier Zhou's worry very much. This matter was also regarded by her as an event worth reflecting on, and she strives to do better and more perfectly in her subsequent work.
At this time, Huang Jie did not expect that this little episode of sending information in Shanghai would be brought up by Premier Zhou again twenty years later, and Premier Zhou also solemnly apologized to Huang Jie.
It was in 1950, when Premier Zhou and Huang Jie met at a banquet in Beijing.
Premier Zhou was very busy and kept moving around during the meal, busy entertaining the various VIPs who came to the banquet and greeted them.
Huang Jie walked in at this moment. She had just sat down for a while, ready to wait for the meal to start.
Who knew that Premier Zhou walked towards her with a wine glass from afar.
Seeing Premier Zhou coming, Huang Jie hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Prince Zhou raised his wine glass to say hello to Huang Jie, and then suddenly asked her if she still remembered the incident of sending intelligence in Shanghai twenty years ago.
Huang Jie was in a daze and was thinking about what was going on, but he heard Premier Zhou continue to say, "It's been 20 years! I always feel that I feel wronged you."
Premier Zhou said that he shouldn't have the same attitude at that time. Huang Jie is still young and shouldn't be too harsh on her and feel sorry for her.
After saying that, he raised his wine glass and invited Huang Jie to drink wine together, and he also fulfilled his wish to apologize this time.
Seeing Premier Zhou like this, Huang Jie felt a lot of emotion!
What a good person Premier Zhou is!
Huang Jie recalled the days she worked in Shanghai and wrote:
"When I arrived in Shanghai, I was 19 years old. Under his direct leadership (Prime Minister Zhou), I would do whatever he told me to do. He was the Chairman of the Military Commission at that time. Our house was three floors, and he came to us sometimes wearing long clothes, sometimes wearing short clothes, and sometimes he wanted to eat something, so Sister Deng came down and went to the kitchen to cook. Sometimes she came to play, not just playing, and checking the work."
Premier Zhou was the most gentle and kind to treat people. Huang Jie also learned a lot during the years he worked in Shanghai.
But just as Huang Jie was criticized by Premier Zhou for delays, Premier Zhou would also get angry, but his anger was all aimed at the negligence of the staff.
It was October 1968. After the secret convening of the 12th Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Beijing, Premier Zhou handed a special letter to his secretary and asked him to deliver it to Chen Xilian, the commander of the Shenyang Military Region at the time.
At that time, Chen Xilian was a hotel in western Beijing. When the correspondent rushed over, he found that the person had left.
The communicator didn't ask too much, and didn't ask whether the person went out to do business or went back to Shenyang directly?
He reported it completely to the staff on duty in the Prime Minister's duty room.
The duty staff thought that if they left, they should have returned to Shenyang, so they asked the correspondent to come back first, and then they could find a way to see how to contact Chen Xilian.
just went through this, and the delivery of the letter was delayed and it was not delivered to Chen Xilian on time.
At that time, the Prime Minister had just been busy all night, changed into his pajamas and prepared to take a walk and rest. Suddenly, he thought of the delivery of the letter, so he called the secretary on duty to ask about the situation.
Secretary said that the correspondent reported that Chen Xilian had left, so he called the correspondent back, but the letter was not delivered.
The Prime Minister became angry as soon as he heard this: "Have you left? Where have you gone? Did you leave Jingxi Hotel to somewhere else, or have you left Beijing?"
Prime Minister called the three secretaries, Sun Yue , Qian Jiadong , and Zhang Zuanwen.
At this time, the three secretaries were standing in the yard, and the Prime Minister criticized the three of them, saying why they were so arbitrary? If they left, they would leave Beijing? Why don’t you ask where you went?
No matter what, the task of sending a letter must be completed, so why do you just do it if you don’t figure out anything! This is an extremely irresponsible behavior, and I arranged to talk to Chen Xilian in the afternoon!
is rare for the Prime Minister to be so magical, and his voice has improved a lot.
Who knew that Sun Yue wanted to defend himself again at this time, and Premier Zhou became even more angry.
In fact, when the Prime Minister is angry, as long as he accepts criticism humbly, he will be wrong and immediately think of remedies. This is more effective than any explanation and defense, because the Prime Minister is not right to the matter. Huang Jie also understood this point, so she was so moved that Premier Zhou apologized to her after twenty years.
In the subsequent revolutionary career, Huang Jie became more and more outstanding and made his own contribution to our country's revolutionary cause.
Huangpu Female hero
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Jie was ordered to go to Yan'an. When he was traveling through Wuhan, Xiang Ying and Lai Chuanzhu went to Nanchang to build the New Fourth Army headquarters.
Huang Jie was organized to serve as the captain of the girls' team of the New Fourth Army Service Group.
In this way, Huang Jie, who was already a mature revolutionary, led more than a hundred young women who were as immature as she used to join the New Fourth Army to Nanchang and join the front line of the War of Resistance.
1940, Huang Jie left white area , where he had worked for many years, realized his long-cherished wish, and arrived in Yan'an, a revolutionary holy land.
She accepted the organizational arrangements and served as the Director of the Organization Department of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Women's Federation.
In 1945, the leaders of the Organization Department learned that Huang Jie had worked in a nursery school, so they talked to her, hoping that she could serve as the director of the Yan'an First Nursery Hospital.
The influential feature film "Ah, Cradle" is about Huang Jie and the children of the First Nursing Hospital of Yan'an, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.
When in the First Nursing Home, Huang Jie often received donations from sister Deng Yingchao to her and her children.
These donations were all sent by Soong Ching Ling through Chinese Red Cross . Soong Ching Ling knew that Yan'an was not particularly rich at that time, so she prepared clothes and food for the children so that they could eat and wear warmth.
Huang Jiedaguan's spirit and tenacious perseverance are inseparable from the words and deeds of these outstanding figures in China in the 20th century when she was young.
1946, Huang Jie and Xu Xiangqian tied the knot.
For many years since then, the couple has been working hard for the revolution and the construction of the new China.
In 1955, Xu Xiangqian was awarded the rank of Marshal of the People's Republic of China.
Her husband became a marshal, and Huang Jie's life did not change because of this. She continued to do her own work.
For a long time, Huang Jie and her husband had no houses in the city, so their residence was in Summer Palace .
But Huang Jie wanted to work in the city, so she got up early and went to the city late, and took the bus back by herself at night.
It was not until the early historical era that Huang Jie and his family moved to Xicheng District, Beijing to live.
But no matter where you live, the virtue of thrift will not change. Huang Jie often reminds his staff and his children that even if they change their residence, they cannot be extravagant and wasteful. Everything is enough to eat and use.
Huang Jie never spoils his children.
Huang Jie took the bus to work by himself, and did not allow the staff to drive his son Xu Xiaoyan to school, but only let him take the bus by himself.
Huang Jie will give you two points more than the bus, and you won’t give you more others. He should know how to be frugal and don’t make it special because of his identity.
Huang Jie is righteous in his family and never engages in extravagance and waste.
But she is always so generous to those in need.
Xu Xiangqian’s hometown is more difficult, especially relatives at home, who sometimes can’t even eat.
Huang Jie thought that she and Xu Xiangqian both had the salary from the unit and were more than enough to raise children, so he took all the relatives in the family who were in trouble at home and lived together.
The family has more than a dozen bites of food, and Huang Jie also handles it himself. When everyone has finished eating, he will fill his stomach.
Huang Jie is frugal at home, and he never makes any special contributions in his identity as an old revolutionary and the marshal's wife. He should eat in the canteen and stay in a hotel on business trips. He will never bother others to make special arrangements for her.
Some people even want to change her to a better business trip, but they will be rejected.
It was a business trip to Wuhan. At that time, the secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee was Xu Xiangqian's former subordinate. When he heard that the wife of the old leader was coming, he hurried to visit him.
Who knew that Huang Jie lives in a simple hotel. He wanted to help Huang Jie arrange a better one, but Huang Jie said it was not necessary. The country is in trouble, so it is enough to live there.
What's more, she used to have a special identity, and if she received some special treatment, she would not be good for the relationship between the party and the cadres and the masses. They should be closely linked to the masses.
The economic situation in the country has improved, and Shuai Xu and his wife Huang Jie have not lost their hard work style.
Huang Jie doesn't waste any drop of water, oil, a grain of rice, or a kilowatt-hour of electricity. She often tells the staff, don't underestimate these small things, they are all produced by the working people with their hands.
1
1983, when Huang Jie was boarding the ship in Beidaihe with Shuai Xu to visit the naval officers and soldiers, the two old men were wearing faded coarse cloth clothes, each of whom was holding a cheap cane. The officers and soldiers were surprised to see all this!
Some say, "This is what the marshal wears!"
Some say, "I used to think that the marshal's wife must be a very particular person, but she is so simple and kind, really like my old mother in the countryside!"
The revolutionary ancestors worthy of admiration
The older generation of revolutionaries' hard work, simplicity and indomitable spirit is worth learning from.
As a woman, Huang Jie strives forward and never complains about hardships and fatigue when facing difficulties. As Chairman Mao said, women can stand half the sky.
Premier Zhou misunderstood her, but she was not discouraged by it. She was still fighting on the front line of the revolution and achieved results that were not inferior to men.
Women in the new era should also fully realize their self-worth and contribute to this society.
