He Zizhen is an important figure in modern history. She was first lady, accompanied our leaders through difficult years, and was an outstanding pioneer of women. In 1947, He Zizhen returned from the Soviet Union. At this time, He Zizhen still had a wish in his heart, but it took 12 years to complete it. What exactly took 12 years to accomplish?
1. Jinggangshan first encounter
In 1927, failed the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, our party focused on the construction of rural bases, launched the autumn harvest uprising, and united the farmers Launch a land movement. This progressive movement gained momentum and attracted many aspiring young people.
He Zizhen is the daughter of a squire in Jiangxi. Her father's foresight and family conditions gave He Zizhen the opportunity to study and meet the world at that time , which laid the foundation for her later participation in women's work and becoming the first female party member in Jinggangshan. Her older brother He Minxue also received new education, joined the party in 1927, and influenced the later He Zizhen.
2. Red marriage
He Zizhen went to Jinggangshan in 1927, and was appointed by the organization in 1928. He married in the same year, served as the secretary of the leader, and became the third wife of a great man. In the war-torn era, this red marriage was full of difficulties and ups and downs. This red marriage of He Zizhen experienced the most difficult ten years before the liberation of China .
In the past ten years, great men have gone through ups and downs in their careers. He Zizhen has always been by his side, never leaving, supporting each other, facing the ups and downs of life together .At the same time, He Zizhen welcomed her first child in such an environment, and she worked hard to raise her child.
But surprises always come. In 1935 lost the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, and the Red Army's Long March began to preserve its combat effectiveness by transferring base areas. For the sake of the army and the future of China, He Zizhen had to leave her small family for everyone. He Zizhen, a new mother, had to put down her son and set foot on the Long March with the troops.
During the Long March, in order to cover the injured comrades, He Zizhen was seriously injured and was shot in seventeen places in the head, upper body and limbs . The troops of the Long March marched under the enemy's siege and pursuit. The conditions were poor and the troops lacked surgical medicines. He Zizhen only took a few painkillers and then took out the superficial shrapnel.
However, because the shrapnel deep into the body grew together with the flesh, and the medical conditions in China at that time were not yet able to completely remove the deep shrapnel, caused He Zizhen to suffer great physical pain . After liberation, He Zizhen was designated as a Class III Class A Disabled.
The physical pain did not knock down He Zizhen at that time . In order to take care of the overall situation and not affect the battle ahead, He Zizhen discussed with her comrades not to tell her husband about her injury, so that he could fight with peace of mind.
But in the face of such an urgent situation, He Zizhen's guards still escorted He Zizhen to a safe area while sending someone to fly to the headquarters and tell the commander-in-chief the news. The commander-in-chief looked at his lover and couldn't help crying, and the hardships along the way appeared before him.
3. Leaving the Soviet Union
Time flies,Things are unpredictable. In 1937, He Zizhen resolutely left the Soviet Union, broke up completely in 1939, and spent a very difficult ten years in the Soviet Union. In the past ten years, He Zizhen almost lost her daughter.
The Soviet Union's technological, economic and cultural development at that time was already among the top in the world. He Zizhen hoped to heal her injuries in the Soviet Union, but accidents also followed. He Zizhen's daughter, Li Min, was unconscious with pneumonia. The doctors at the hospital thought it was impossible to save him, so they planned to send Li Min to the morgue. As a mother, He Zizhen tried her best to stop her and save her daughter, and finally turned the corner.
Li Min's body was just getting better, but new troubles followed. The director of the International Children's Institute believes that since Li Min has recovered, he should be able to go back to the school for boarding. But He Zizhen disagreed with the dean's suggestion, she couldn't let her daughter leave her , so she was locked up as a patient . He Zizhen therefore spent two years in the madhouse .
4. Return to China as wished
In 1947, Wang Jiaxiang and his wife went to the Soviet Union and negotiated with the Soviet Union for many times. After many pressures, the Soviet Union finally agreed to He Zizhen's departure from the madhouse. Finally, in Moscow, He Zizhen and her daughter Li Min met their long-lost friends Wang Jiaxiang and his wife.
The years of living in the lunatic asylum have worn down He Zizhen's spirit. However, the joy of seeing friends again in Moscow made He Zizhen recover quickly. At this time, He Zizhen was very much looking forward to returning to China.
He Zizhen took the train from Moscow to Harbin with her daughter and several comrades after obtaining the consent of the superior leaders. After many twists and turns, He Zizhen finally returned to the motherland! When He Zizhen returned to China, the leaders of the Northeast Bureau personally greeted him at the station. He Zizhen looked at every comrade present and at the familiar land, with tears in her eyes.
After the comrades in the Northeast Bureau arranged for He Zizhen and his party, they found that Comrade Zizhen was very poor. She only brought a small suitcase back to China, her clothes were very thin, and there was not much luggage in the suitcase. It was autumn in China when He Zizhen returned to Harbin, but she was still wearing a pair of open-toed shoes.
No one knows about He Zizhen's experience. He drifted in the Soviet Union, almost lost his daughter, and was put in an insane asylum. He Zizhen, who had worked so hard to return to the motherland, did not complain about the hardships she experienced . But the comrades in arms were very concerned about and distressed He Zizhen, so the comrades of the Northeast Bureau helped He Zizhen buy new clothes and winter clothes, and arranged housing. He Zizhen can finally settle down in Harbin.
When the comrades in Jinggangshan heard that He Zizhen had returned from the Soviet Union, they came to visit in Harbin. During the conversation, He Zizhen put forward two wishes to He Changgong , One of them is that he hopes to meet the great man, speak a word and shake hands.
5. Wish fulfilled
In July 1959, the Lushan Conference was held, Tao Zhu and his wife Zeng Zhi went to attend the conference. After meeting the leader, Zeng Zhi smiled and said, "On the way, I went to see an old friend." The leader asked Zeng Zhi who this old friend was, and Zeng Zhi told him directly , "I met He Zizhen".
Since He Zizhen left him,The two have not seen each other for 22 years. In the past 22 years, the contact between the two was limited to their daughter Li Min. Hearing that He Zizhen is now near Mount Lu, the leaders hoped to meet He Zizhen as an old friend. In this way, with the assistance of comrades in Jiangxi, He Zizhen followed the relevant personnel to Mount Lu and met old friends.
Before leaving, He Zizhen did not know the purpose of this trip to Mount Lu. The comrade in charge of leading her was Shui Jing, the wife of Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee at the time. Shui Jing was afraid that He Zizhen would be too excited, so she told a white lie. She told He Zizhen that she would just go back to Mount Lu for a while to cultivate.
When He Zizhen saw the great man, tears flowed from her eyes and filled her cheeks. The great man reassured her not to cry. After a difficult meeting, the time was spent crying. Hearing the great man say this, He Zizhen remembered that his long-cherished wish had finally come true , stopped crying, and began to talk about her experiences over the years.
6. Summary
He Zizhen's life is full of hardships and perseverance. Whether it is the first female party member in the rural bases of our country, or marrying a great man; whether she is going to the Soviet Union or returning to work in China, He Zizhen has never been defeated by hardships. The experience of the war years and the journey of wandering in the Soviet Union made this woman a great woman!
