preface
In the autumn of 1953, Zhongnanhai welcomed a special guest. Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao specially sent a car to pick up people to the West Flower Hall in Zhongnanhai for dinner. At the dining table, Zhou Enlai raised his glass and said to her affectionately: "Over the years, you have done a lot of work for the party in all aspects, and I will give you a glass." A moment later, Zhou Enlai put down his glass and said: "As the wife of the governor, abandoning glory and single-handedly, it is really rare to participate in the revolution."
Who is this brothel woman, why can Zhou Enlai admire him so much? How many legendary stories are there in her?
A woman in the brothel became the wife of the governor
1900, Dong Zhujun was born in a slum in Shanghai. Although their family was poor, their parents still sent her to a private school to study. However, the weather was not good, and her father soon suffered from typhoid fever, so she had to drop out of school. Later, her father's health plummeted and at the end of the day. Her father betted her to the brothel as a "clever apprentice" for three years.
Here, Dong Zhujun thought she had encountered redemption. She covered the revolutionary in the brothel. At that time, Xia Zhishi was the deputy governor of Sichuan. The two soon fell in love. Xia Zhishi wanted to redeem her, but Dong Zhujun was not confused by love, but said to him extremely clearly: "I am not a thing... Once you don't When I am happy, I may say that you have nothing strange about it, but I bought it with money! "

From this we can see Her independent personality and equality consciousness as a woman, and She clearly knows what role she plays in this relationship.
1914, Dong Zhujun pretended to be sick and escaped from the brothel and married Xia Zhishi. Not long after, she went to Japan to live with him. Here, Dong Zhujun continued to absorb cultural knowledge and wanted to contribute more to equality between men and women and the struggle for feminism. In addition, she also wanted to start a career and make economic achievements.
Three years later, Dong Zhujun originally wanted to go to France to continue her studies, but Xia Zhishi's father was critically ill, so she could only give up studying and return to Sichuan. However, Xia Zhishi's complex family relationships and depressed family environment gradually made her unbearable.
1919, Xia Zhishi followed the wrong person in the struggle of the Sichuan faction and was removed from his post. After that, he became depressed and took opium. His temper became worse and worse day by day, and he beat and scolded his wife at all times. Moreover, Dong Zhujun was evaded due to lung disease for three months, and he had never visited her.
Dong Zhujun has never been a dodder flower, so he did not regard love as the whole of his life.
1923, Dong Zhujun chose to establish the "Fuxiang Women's Socks Factory" in the area of Dongsheng Street, Chengdu. The workers she recruited were women from poor families. Later, she founded the "Flying Eagle Rickshaw Company" in Chengdu and rented a rickshaw at a low price.

It was not until the spring of 1929 that Dong Zhujun was forced to close the two factories due to the chaotic situation at that time. In April, the revolutionary Song Shilun and were released from prison and lost contact with the organization. Dong Zhujun generously donated money after learning about this. More than
years later, Song Shilun became a general of the People's Liberation Army. He never forgot his benefactor Dong Zhujun: "In that case, it is a timely help to bear her generous support! I will never forget her thank her."
And after five years of separation, Dong Zhujun and his wife finally announced their divorce.
Deng Yingchao personally visited Dong Zhujun
11935 On March 15, Dong Zhujun opened a Sichuan restaurant called "Jinjiang Small Restaurant" in Shanghai. She was lucky. She was very popular as soon as she opened the door. Shanghai Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng both became frequent visitors here. After , with the help of Du Yuesheng, the Sichuan restaurant was also expanded and renamed "Jinjiang Sichuan Restaurant". Their business was also booming.
However, even with Du Yuesheng's care, Dong Zhujun's Sichuan restaurant was still targeted by the malicious Japanese. The traitor Pan Sansheng once wooed Dong Zhujun many times, hoping that she could open a branch in the jurisdiction of the Japanese military headquarters, but she flatly refused.
When the Japanese knew her attitude, they immediately suppressed and retaliated against her. They even sent someone to the house to commit crimes while she was recuperating. In order to save her life, she had to leave Shanghai temporarily.

Before leaving, Dong Zhujun arranged both stores and then went to Philippines to take care of his daughter Guoqiong. However, this trip lasted for four years. World War II affected the Philippines. She was forced to stay there. After Dong Zhujun went through a lot of hardships, she finally returned to Shanghai. However, Jinjiang was already shaking at this time.
Before Dong Zhujun went to the Philippines, he had arranged an agent. As a result, the agent mistakenly thought that Dong Zhujun was killed in the Philippines, so he began to borrow Jinjiang to make a fortune. The employees dared not speak out. After Dong Zhujun came back, they were already at the risk of being reselled.
Dong Zhujun had to start remediation. This time, Jinjiang was seriously injured. After a long period of rectification, Jinjiang rose again.
achieves the world, and Dong Zhujun has a patriotic sentiment. She opened a "Jinjiang Tea Room" at No. 82 Hualong Road, Shanghai, and uses it as the contact location for the underground members of the Communist Party of China.
After founding these two places, Dong Zhujun's connection with the underground party of the Communist Party of China became deeper, and her circle of friends expanded rapidly. She became acquaintances with Du Yuesheng and Yang Hu . Later, she used her social relations to contact people from all walks of life, making it easier for the party to instigate intelligence. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Dong Zhujun even donated a large amount of funds to support the anti-Japanese war.

In March 1945, Rao Shushi, who was the political commissar of the New Fourth Army at that time, sent someone to instruct Dong Zhujun to establish a secret printing factory. Their purpose was to publish newspapers, print documents, etc. when the New Fourth Army attacked Shanghai.
Dong Zhujun is also an action faction. She asked Ren Baizun, an underground member of the Communist Party of China, to buy Yongye Printing Office and operate it secretly. Later, she used this to print many progressive books and CCP documents. It pointed out the course for the Chinese revolutionary ships and provided the people with sufficient spiritual food.
1945 , Deng Yingchao also took time to visit Dong Zhujun's home and instructed her to take advantage of the favorable conditions in Shanghai to do underground work.
Dong Zhujun did not disappoint Deng Yingchao and the others' trust.
In early May 1949, the Kuomintang was at the end of their way. They simply gave up and attempted to assassinate a group of democrats. After learning about this, Zhou Enlai remained calm in the face of danger and secretly ordered the Shanghai underground party to do his best to protect the safety of Soong Ching Ling and Zhang Lan and others. When Shanghai was liberated, they immediately escorted them north and asked them to attend the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In addition, instigating the Kuomintang senior official Yang Hu also became their top priority.

In fact, as early as three years ago, Dong Zhujun had already introduced Zhou Enlai to Yang Hu's mansion and carried out ideological work on him. As a result, Yang Hu's confidants visited him. However, Zhou Enlai still analyzed the domestic and international situation for Yang Hu, hoping that he could stand on the side of the people. Yang Hu always kept this in mind.
Dong Zhujun also made an indelible contribution to the rebellion of Yang Hu. Later, Yang Hu visited Dong Zhujun after nightfall. She immediately found the right opportunity to tell him: With status, qualifications and fame as him, he can do something beneficial to the country and the people.
Yang Hu never thought that this friend could analyze the situation so thoroughly, which was simply a reminder of the dreamer. After
, after Dong Zhujun and others persuaded him again and again, he finally successfully instigated Yang Hu, allowing Zhang Lan and other democratic figures to attend the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference while being protected.
In this process, Dong Zhujun also used her special identity to cover up and rescue many Communists, so Dong Zhujun really made a lot of contributions to our party.

In early 1951, the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau decided to set up a high-end food and accommodation place in Shanghai to receive central leaders, senior cadres and foreign guests.
And they chose Dong Zhujun's "Jinjiang". After years of business, Jinjiang has long been famous.
Dong Zhujun also made profound considerations about this, but in her opinion, this is a matter of doing things for the party and the country, so she did not hesitate to operate her hands for 16 years, and at that time, both "Jinjiang" stores worth 150,000 US dollars were handed over to the party and the country. These two stores were also expanded to Jinjiang Hotel .
. Her friends and those loyal old employees were really puzzled by Dong Zhujun's decision, and they went to Dong Zhujun for this, "This is a career you have worked hard to create. How can you just hand in it? You have to think about it for yourself and your children..."
Even though they have been persuading themselves, Dong Zhujun's heart was unshakable. She said firmly: "I have participated in supporting the revolution all my life, and that's it. A big goal. I have never regarded these things as my own property, and I will never leave their property to my children. I don’t have this idea. Now that China is liberated, there will be many good things to do, I’m afraid you can’t do it.”

Moreover, in her opinion, handing over "Jinjiang" is good for her and her children:
First, I have always insisted that my thoughts must be correct. Second, it is beneficial for children to not have this huge amount of property, so that they can study hard and develop a whole range of skills..."
Second, now, more than 500 heads of state and government have been received here, and they have witnessed countless major historical events in the passage of time, with great historical heritage.
1952 In 2019, Dong Zhujun was elected as the executive member of the Shanghai Democratic Women's Federation.
In the autumn of 1953, Zhongnanhai welcomed a special guest. Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao specially sent a car to take people to the West Flower Hall of Zhongnanhai for dinner. At the dining table, Zhou Enlai raised his glass and said to her affectionately: "Over the years, you have done a lot of work for the party in all aspects, I wish you a glass. " A moment later, Zhou Enlai put down his wine glass and said : "As the governor's wife, she abandoned glory and single-handedly, it is really rare to participate in the revolution.
at the dinner table, they had a great time. After the meal, Zhou Enlai also invited Dong Zhujun to Huairen Hall to watch the show. Zhou Enlai admired such a female woman from the bottom of his heart.

1957-1991, Dong Zhujun served as a member of the second to seventh committees of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. By the time China began to enter a new era of reform and opening up , Dong Zhujun had entered a twilight years, but she was still enthusiastic about participating in the political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and constantly witnessing the soaring China. A democrat recalled: "There are the most proposals for meetings every year, ranging from great achievements to small things in daily life." From this we can see that Dong Zhujun's heart is filled with the country and the people. It is the final expression of her that men are not as good as men.
Dong Zhujun said : "I never change my original intention because of being misinterpreted, I don't doubt my beliefs because of being neglected, nor do I slow down because of being old. "She has been practicing this sentence throughout her life. "Nara" who ran away from
Nora is the heroine of the drama "Doll House". Dong Zhujun's life overlaps with her. Nora has been married to her for 8 years and has 3 daughters. She is immersed in her happy family life all day long. However, after that, she saw through her husband's hypocrisy and her doll-like status in the family, so she chose to run away.
Regarding the way out after Nara left, Lu Xun once analyzed: "either degenerate, or come back."

Dong Zhujun is the "Chinese version of Nora" because she is not just a patriot, but also an ordinary mother. When facing her family, she walked out of her own way.
Dong Zhujun and her husband Xia Zhishi got married and gave birth to four daughters and one son.
The reason why Dong Zhujun was disappointed with her husband is not only because of his various bad behaviors towards him, but also his attitude towards his daughter.
Dong Zhujun's eldest daughter has measles ht At ml6, she made a special vacancy, disinfected the house, and placed two beds. She took care of her for more than 40 days day and night until her daughter recovered. However, her husband Xia Zhishi expressed strong dissatisfaction with her approach. In her opinion, the wife should not be ignorant of other things because a daughter is sick.
Moreover, in Xia Zhishi, girls do not need to study more, and Dong Zhujun could not agree with his point of view. In her world, children must receive higher education, so , she took her daughter to the beach alone.

After the separation of Xia Zhishi, Dong Zhujun was taken back to her poor family. In order to maintain the livelihood of the family, Dong Zhujun became a regular customer in the pawn shop. She sold everything she could. However, she knew very well that sitting and eating was not a long-term solution. As time went by, her parents also began to complain about her, why did she divorce Xia Zhishi without saying hello.
Before the divorce, Xia Zhishi told her: "If you don't have the will tolerate the fate and jumped into the Huangpu River with four children, I will fry fish in my hand for you to eat. "
Dong Zhujun is born with a strong mind. She will not let anyone look down on her.
So, Dong Zhujun took out all her savings and opened a yarn mill and set up a yarn mill. When factory is busy, Dong Zhujun had no way to take care of the children, so he had to send his three daughters to the primary school affiliated to a church school in Suzhou for a tuition. However, Dong Zhujun also clearly knew that church school was stricter, and she herself was worried that the children would be poisoned by imperialist ideas. So every weekend and holiday, Dong Zhujun would call the children to them and constantly explain the principles of life and patriotism to them, and then find some progressive literary and artistic reading materials for them to read. At the same time, they also let the children learn to do housework and love labor. Let them get closer to nature and develop a cheerful and love beauty.

Once, Mr. Lu Xun gave a speech at a summer school with the title "A Glimpse of Shanghai Literature and Art". After Dong Zhujun heard about it, he brought four daughters to listen without saying a word. She also understood in her heart that the children might not understand at all, but in order to allow them to be influenced by the atmosphere of progressive thoughts, Dong Zhujun still took the children to sit in the last row and listen obediently. On the way back, the children kept asking questions. Although they could not fully understand Mr. Lu Xun's speech, they could still write them down secretly when they didn't understand it. Then they asked their mother on the road. Seeing that the children were so smart and studious, Dong Zhujun was happy from the heart.
In addition, Dong Zhujun will also consciously cultivate children's sense of courage. Once she asked her daughter, who was only 12 years old, to take a train from Shanghai to Nanjing. The child's task was to send a sum of money to help a relative. However, when the child arrived at Xiaguan, the city gate was already closed, and she did not dare to spend money indiscriminately, so she hurried at the foot of the city gate and slept for a night. After returning, his daughter told her mother about her experience. Dong Zhujun felt a little distressed and happy when she heard this.
When Dong Zhujun was a female boss at Jinjiang Hotel, she strictly ordered her children not to enter the store casually; and she herself wanted to meet friends. Unless she met progressive people, none of the people from all walks of life would need to come to her home and could only meet her in Jinjiang. Dong Zhujun was so cautious, just to prevent the children from getting involved in the social habits of the ten miles of foreign markets. It can be said that she really had good intentions.

Dong Zhujun is a strict mother, especially in educating her children. She often tells her children "If one of you doesn't listen to my teachings and goes on the wrong path, I will never forgive you!"
Dong Zhujun's efforts were not in vain. Her five children have all become talents and respect and love their mothers. She has always treated them equally in educating their children. Even if someone asks her which daughter she likes the most, she will fairly say that she will sympathize with whoever has difficulties.
For mothers, children know how to be grateful. When it comes to mothers, they often say: "Thank you for taking us away from a feudal family and giving us a brand new life."

In 1997, Dong Zhujun died of a cold and ended her magnificent life. In just a few decades of life, Dong Zhujun experienced a failed marriage and fought on the battlefield. However, no matter what her experience was, she always remembered that she was Chinese and constantly contributed her own strength to the cause of the motherland. Such female power inspires everyone in the future, and she is worthy of her fame.
