As Zhu De's only daughter, Zhu Min was abused by German Nazis at a young age. This girl who only met her biological father at the age of 14 was unexpectedly trapped in the German Nazi concentration camp when she went to the Soviet Union to study at the age of 15.
After two years of pretending to be dumb, Zhu Min was able to survive the cruel Nazi concentration camp and returned to China to reunite with his father Zhu De. All this experience starts with her when she went to study in the Soviet Union at the age of 15.
1. Going to the Soviet Union to study and accidentally got caught in a Nazi concentration camp
Zhu Min was born in April 1926 in Moscow . Her father Zhu De was exactly 40 years old at the time. She was raised by her grandmother for various reasons. It was not until 1940 that she went from Chengdu to Yan'an and met her father Zhu De.
941, Zhu Min was sent to the Soviet Union Ivanovo International Children's Hospital to attend school. For China, which was in war at that time, the Soviet Union was the world in the dream of Chinese students. Because the people there don't need to worry about the war and are happy every day.
However, this paradise-like place did not last long, and it was also caught in war later. In June 11941, the German fascists went to war against the Soviet Union quietly. The children's courtyard where Zhu Min is located is also involved in the war.
According to Zhu Min's recollection, on the evening of June 21, 1941, she and the other 20 children went to a collective farm in the summer camp . She became good friends with several children here, but among the 21 children at that time, only Zhu Min was Chinese.
The farm scenery at that time was very beautiful, and the children went to the grass to play under the guidance of the teacher. At first glance, there are dense forests and flat grasslands everywhere, and the pleasant scenery makes people feel comfortable.
Just as everyone was playing, the ground under their feet suddenly trembled, and a buzzing sound came from the sky in the distance. The children who noticed the abnormality stopped and looked into the sky, only saw a black dot, slowly moving towards this side.
Zhu Min, who once witnessed the cruel war, had an ominous premonition deep in her heart. But Zhu Min knew clearly that it is not in China but in the Soviet Union. So when she saw it, she was not completely sure.
At this moment, an explosion came from a distance. Amid the howling of the bomber, all the children ran to the farm desperately, but the farm was covered with blood and thick smoke. The Soviet Union, which was once considered a peaceful destination, fell into war.
Although these 21 children are relatively young, they have all lived in dangerous environments, so they have developed the habit of strictly adhering to their own life experience, so they do not know who the other party’s parents are.
It is precisely because of this reason that Zhu Min can hide his true identity very well in it. Others only know that she is a Chinese, but they don’t know that her father is the famous Zhu De.
Although they hide their identities, these children cannot escape from the German army with their own strength. They were captured by the Germans without any surprise. Because they were all children, they were taken to an orphanage for custody after being captured.
Later, a German officer interrogated them one by one. When it was Zhu Min's turn, she said that she was Chinese and her parents were both old Chinese doctors. She came to Moscow to cure her illness. Then, she said she had asthma .
During this period, Zhu Min's answer was intermittent, as if she had a language barrier. However, the German officer believed her when she saw that she was calm. Afterwards, the German army asked her many times in a row, but her words were never a problem.
Just like that, Zhu Min's safety is temporarily guaranteed. Although life was very hard at that time, Zhu Min was not hurt. But her condition gradually worsened in the harsh environment.
However, such a difficult life did not last long in the end.Because after an accident, the German army grasped the whereabouts of a guerrilla player, who happened to know Zhu Min, and they had met him.
And even more unfortunately, this meeting happened to be seen by the dean of the orphanage and reported it to the German army. Afterwards, the German army sent Zhu Min and several other children to the Nazi concentration camp.
2. After suffering, he was regained freedom
After Zhu Min and others were locked up in the Nazi concentration camp, they were truly entering hell, and every second here was torment. Because she was weak and seriously ill, she was assigned to the canteen of refugees and husbands after she arrived at the concentration camp.
After Zhu De received this news, he was anxious and helpless. Although the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union sent batches of people to find Zhu Min's whereabouts after learning the news, there was still no clue.
In the Nazi concentration camp, Zhu Min always pretended to be dumb in order to protect herself. And the people around me really thought she was just a mute. But even so, she did not escape the torture of the devil.
According to Zhu Min's recollection, one day at noon, a German guard walked towards them with a camera and wanted to take photos of them. When the children saw the camera and the kind smile on the man's face, they temporarily forgot the horror of the Nazi concentration camp and the cruelty of the Nazi concentration camp.
The children burst into the brightest smiles in front of the camera. However, after the photography was over, the guard's face immediately changed. He showed his true face and raised his whip and thrust hard at Zhu Min and others. The reason he whipped the child was because they just laughed.
Amid the whip and the painful screams of the children, the cruelty of the Nazi concentration camp was clear at a glance. Not only that, Zhu Min in the Nazi concentration camp also had to do a lot of physical labor every day.
However, the Nazi concentration camp gave Zhu Min only half of the food that ordinary adults had. Excessive work and poor food caused her body to suffer from severe malnutrition. At the same time, her body also had problems due to various abuses.
As a girl who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, Zhu Min has already fallen off her black hair. Her belly was as bloated as inflatable, and her physical illness and suffering in life made Zhu Min feel fear and despair.
However, the longing for hometown and father and the desire for freedom supported Zhu Min at the young age to the end. When the war broke out to 1944, the German fascists began to retreat step by step.
Time soon came in 1945. The Soviet Red Army gradually gained the upper hand in the duel with Germany. Even outside the dark Nazi concentration camp, intermittent gunfire sounds began to appear. Such sound undoubtedly gave Zhu Min a huge motivation to survive.
1945 in the early morning of , Zhu Min found that the Nazi concentration camp was very quiet. She walked out of the door tentatively, and then saw that the surrounding barbed wire and walls were all turned upside down. She suddenly understood that it turned out that the German army had fled and freedom had come to them.
After regaining his freedom, Zhu Min was brought to his home by a Soviet who had translated for the German army. He wanted to use this girl as a hostage to negotiate terms with the Soviet Red Army to save his life.
Later, Zhu Min was sent to the hands of the Soviet Red Army by this translation, and then to the refugee shelter. In the shelter, she underwent many cross-examinations. But she, who was tortured at this moment, no longer dared to tell the truth easily.
However, after the other party told Zhu Min about the current situation of China and the Soviet Union, realized that she was already safe and she told her life story in tears. , just like that, Zhu Min was taken to Moscow.
At this time, Zhu Min faced two different choices: one was to return to his country immediately, and the other was to continue to study in Moscow. With a strong mind, she immediately made the decision to return home after achieving success in her studies.
is like this, It was not until 1951 that Zhu Min graduated from Moscow College and then returned to his father Zhu De. At the same time, Zhu Min also used the knowledge he learned to serve the motherland.
3. Treat everything with tolerance, but refuses to forgive one person, Zhu Min, who has experienced ups and downs, finally returned to the embrace of the motherland. She always treats people, things and things around her with an inclusive attitude. But she was unwilling to forgive one person, that is her biological mother He Zhihua.
Zhu Min's mother He Zhihua and Zhu De got married in 1920. Later, they went to Germany to study together, and later went to the Soviet Union together. However, after living together for a while, they gradually became disagreeable.
In May 1926, Zhu De returned to China to do united front work for warlords Yang Sen , leaving He Zhihua and Zhu Min in the Soviet Union. Later, He Zhihua fell in love with He Jiaxing who went to study in the Soviet Union and got married.
In early 1928, the organization arranged for He Jiaxing and He Zhihua to return to China to work in Shanghai. But what was unexpected was that these two people would betray the revolution soon. 1928, He Jiaxing and He Zhihua betrayed the organization, causing serious losses to the organization.
Then, the organization cleaned up He Jiaxing and He Zhihua . During the gun battle, He Jiaxing was shot dead on the spot. He Zhihua, who was shot in , escaped by luck and disappeared from now on.
Zhu Min once said that when she was 14 years old, she learned the news of her mother's death from her grandmother for the first time. From this we can infer that after escaping, He Zhihua did not die immediately, but lived until Zhu Min was 14 years old, around 1940.
Although her biological mother He Zhihua did not die immediately after being shot, Zhu Min could not accept this mother who betrayed the organization because she believed that her mother's betrayal could not be forgiven.
Conclusion
Zhu Min rarely mentions her biological mother He Zhihua in her life, and appears more in her description, and it is Kang Keqing, the later spouse of her father Zhu De. It can be seen from this that deep down in her heart, she will never forgive her biological mother's rebellion in her life.
