Perhaps many people cannot imagine that a founding father will also face emotional problems. The person mentioned here is Chen Yi , one of the top ten founding marshals of New China, and A divorce storm between him and his wife Zhang Qian.

emotional problems caused by going home late

This is a story that happened in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, Chen Yi had already retreated from the top of the army to the later Minister of Foreign Affairs .

Later, when he came back from a visit abroad, Chen Yi had a party with his delegation members, but everyone was too happy. It was already past twelve o'clock in the morning when Chen Yi returned home. Chen Yi, who was thinking of going home to sleep and rest, was locked outside the door by his wife and couldn't get in. After

No matter how Chen Yi shouted and knocked outside the house, Zhang Qian did not open the door for him. In desperation, Chen Yi might have drunk too much, and his temper suddenly exploded. He shouted at the secretary beside him for divorce, and he shouted twice in a row.

made his secretary unaware of how to respond. After Zhou Enlai learned about this, immediately came forward to mediate the two, and through a kite, they made the two come back to goodbye.

Couple walking together in the war

Speaking of which, Zhang Qian was actually not Chen Yi's first wife, but the third one. The two met in the war era. They were able to spend more than 30 years together in such a chaotic situation. This was not easy in the era at that time.

Zhang Qian's original name was Zhang Zhang Zhangzhu. She was born in 1922. Because Zhang Qian's father worked outside for many years, he had only two mothers and daughters at home. Zhang Qian's father was very bad to Zhang Qian. Every time he went home, he would drink or gamble, and he never cared about the mother and daughter. Therefore, Zhang Qian's Girls' Generation, was to rely on her mother for life.

Despite this, Zhang Qian's mother did not dislike her because of this. Instead, she worked hard outside to make money in order to support Zhang Qian to study.

In order to repay her mother's efforts, Zhang Qian studied very hard. After graduating from junior high school, she was admitted to Hubei Provincial Women's Normal School.

At that time, China was in this chaotic period of 1937. The Japanese invaders officially launched an offensive against China. In order to save the country's life and death, Zhang Qian followed many students to start street speeches everywhere, and called on more knowledgeable people to join the Anti-Japanese War team.

When Zhang Qian was 16 years old, she joined the Communist Party’s military headquarters in order to fight against Japan and served as a young soldier in the local service troupe drama team. In order to avoid his actions and make his mother hurt, so she changed her name Zhang Zhangzhu to the later Zhang Qian, and used it until the founding of New China.

Just two years after the anti-Japanese action was launched, Zhang Qian led the team to carry out the drama "One Year" somewhere. At that time, Zhang Qian played a bride on stage. Just when Zhang Qian was concentrating on playing her role, a man watching the show on the stage was already deeply attracted by Zhang Qian. is Chen Yi.

At that time, Chen Yi happened to be in the local military headquarters. Because Zhang Qian was performing in the local area, he planned to go over and take a look. As a result, he was soon attracted by Zhang Qian's dignified appearance.

From then on, Zhang Qian's figure always echoed in Chen Yi's heart, and he always wanted to confess to the other party immediately. However, when he thought of his beautiful age, he was an old man, and he always felt that he was not worthy of the other party. Therefore, facing the girl he liked, dared not confess for a long time.

After a period of consideration, Chen Yi finally plucked up the courage to write a letter to Zhang Qian, and also wrote a poem he wrote "Praise Chunlan" to express his love.

After receiving Chen Yi's letter, Zhang Qian did not refuse or be angry, but felt very at a loss.

Zhang Qian also heard about Chen Yi's achievements and admired the other party very much. However, she herself never thought that the other party would like her.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Qian was most worried about not the difference between her and Chen Yi, but her status. At that time, Chen Yi was already a senior general of the Communist Party, and he was just a low-level soldier.

If you marry Chen Yi in this capacity, Zhang Qian will be worried that she will be gossiped by people outside and be considered to be based on relationships and will be considered as the upper-level route.

So Zhang Qian wrote in her reply to Chen Yi that she was very confused about this relationship and didn't know what to do. Although she did not express her love directly, it can also be seen that Zhang Qian has a good impression of Chen Yi, but she didn't dare to express her identity because of her identity.

Although Zhang Qian was still performing around in the crew, she was still worried about whether she wanted to be with General Chen Yi, so she found her friend Wang Yuchang to talk to and told Wang Yuchang his feelings.

’s view on this relationship was written in his memoir “The Past Burning”. He believed that only a friend of life and death who has deep feelings can be considered a friend of life and death. It is a very correct thing to repay his sincerity for a friend of life and death.

So at the suggestion of Wang Yuchang, Zhang Qian decided to keep a letter date with Chen Yi, and the relationship between the two continued to heat up during the exchange until they got married.

Chen Yi and Zhang Qian’s previous relationship experience

The age difference between Chen Yi and Zhang Qian was 21 years old. It was rare at that time that the gap was so big. At that time, this relationship was not affected by the age of the two.

Because it was a war era, the two people's wedding ceremony was not extravagant, but they casually invited a few friends to have a meal at home. took a photo of their own wedding by the pond. The marriage was completed.

Chen Yi's love journey was actually very bumpy. During the 20 years he fought everywhere, it was not easy to find his own love at the age of nearly forty. Before him, his two wives left him for various reasons.

Chen Yi's first wife was Xiao Juying. This wife was met by Chen Yi when he was the principal of the Red 22nd Army Cadre School. Xiao Juying was still a student of this school at that time.

Xiao Ju is full of talent. She not only knows how to sing and play the piano, but also is very good at writing poetry and painting. She is very compatible with the versatile Chen Yi. The two are also gradually warming up in the process of communicating poetry, and eventually became a couple.

However, this marriage ended less than a year. In early September 1931, Chen Yi was about to go to Yudu for a meeting. On the third day after he left, it happened to rain heavily in the area where Xiao Juying lives.

At that time, Xiao Juying was waiting for her husband's return at home, but accidentally heard the dog barking outside. Xiao Juying thought Chen Yi was back, so she excitedly went to open the door.

However, when she went out, Xiao Juying did not notice water on the road, and As a result, she fell into a well not far away when she slipped. After Chen Yi returned, Xiao Juying had already drowned.

Chen Yi suddenly felt sad. For this reason, at Xiao Juying's funeral, Chen Yi also wrote a song "Remembering the Death" to mourn his wife.

was depressed for a long time, and Chen Yi did not continue to look for the second relationship. It was not until later that he met his second wife Lai Yueming in Jiangxi that the second relationship began.

Lai Yueming and Xiao Juying are a bit similar. They are also a talented young woman. They also get along well with the funny and humorous Chen Yi. For this reason, with the help of Cai Chang, the two soon walked together and became husband and wife.

But both of them are soldiers of our party, so they quickly devoted themselves to their work after marriage. Since the positions and regions of their work are different, there are very few time and opportunities to meet, so they cherish each other every time they meet.

However, after meeting in the Central Soviet Area once, Chen Yi lost the news of Lai Yueming. Later, no matter how Chen Yi searched for it, he could not find Lai Yueming. After

, it was only after someone inquired that Lai Yueming was hunted by the enemy. "jumped off the cliff and committed suicide" because he could not escape. failed in two consecutive relationships, which made Chen Yi feel extremely painful and was in a very low mood for a long time.

But in fact, the news of Lai Yueming jumping off the cliff and committing suicide was just a mistake in the local people who investigated the news, but it is true that she broke off contact with the organization due to the enemy's pursuit in her work battle. What's even more exaggerated is that Chen Yi later heard that Lai Yueming was killed by the reactionaries. Anyway, Lai Yueming's whereabouts were a mystery for a long time.

It was not until a woman was interviewed that admitted that she was Lai Yueming of the past, and Lai Yueming's life experience was known to the world.

It turned out that Lai Yueming was hunted by the reactionaries and had been hiding in the countryside for recuperation because of his injury. Later, he heard about the fake news that Chen Yi was killed by the reactionaries. .

Because information was not convenient at that time, Lai Yueming believed it. eventually remarried to another Red Army soldier Fang Liangsong, who was injured and left behind. , and remained in the countryside to farm until the founding of New China.

The difference between Chen Yi in life and on the battlefield

is different from the brave and invincible appearance on the battlefield. Chen Yi in the family listens very much to his wife and focuses on Zhang Qian’s opinions in almost everything.

Not long after the two got married, Zhang Qian gave birth to two sons for Chen Yi. Later, because Chen Yi was going to work in Yan'an, Zhang Qian had to stay in Huainan to raise two children.

originally thought that Chen Yi would be able to return to his family after the War of Resistance Against Japan, but not long after the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was civil war . Chen Yi had to follow the large army and switch from northern Jiangsu to command the troops to fight in Shandong. These periods were particularly difficult for both sides. The two could only express their longing and love through letters and poems.

However, no matter how busy the battlefield and work are, Chen Yi will try his best to find time to write to Zhang Qian, explain her condition to her, and also learn more about the physical condition of his wife and children. The two of them have been sending messages from afar for several years.

It was not until 1945 when he returned to Linyi, Shandong that he happened to meet Zhang Qian with two children to visit. Two children who had been born for a long time had seen their father for the first time.

The reunion and separation in the war years were always staged alternately, but after the founding of New China, officials from the top central government were still striving for the prosperity and development of New China, and things like gathering and separation happen from time to time.

Especially at that time, Chen Yi and Zhou Enlai held two positions, both had to work as the mayor of Shanghai and the work of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He often couldn't see his wife and children for several days.

But this did not affect the mood of the two of them. Every time Zhang Qian went out, she would leave a note for Chen Yi, and every time Chen Yi would write a poem as a reply.

Although Chen Yi is several years older than Zhang Qian, Chen Yi is always as obedient as a child in front of Zhang Qian. Once, when Chen Yi was recuperating in Guangzhou, he happened to meet a friend to visit him. While the two were having dinner, Chen Yi specially asked a friend to ask for a pack of Chinese cigarettes, but was just placed in his pocket and did not smoke.

friends were puzzled by this and asked Chen Yi what was going on. As a result, Chen Yi replied helplessly that his wife restricted himself from smoking and had to check how many cigarettes he smoked every day, so he could only put a pack in his pocket to put it in his pocket.

333334 There are too many restrictions on it. After marriage, the conflict suddenly appeared

Chen Yi also knew that Zhang Qian was in charge of her health because of her own health. After all, Mr. Chen was also an elderly person at this time, and it would be very troublesome if she didn't pay attention to her health.

However, as a husband, she was so controlled by her wife, Chen Yi felt uncomfortable over time, so the relationship life of the two gradually became conflicted, such as the divorce storm.

The news that Chen Yi was going to divorce soon spread throughout the central government. As the Prime Minister, Zhou Enlai could not have known that he and Chen Yi had a close relationship.

also knows the couple's life very well, and they are even loving. The so-called verbal divorce is just an angry conversation when Chen Yi gets angry. so he plans to train the two as a peacemaker.

So Zhou Enlai looked for one morning to invite important officials such as Chen Yi and Luo Ruiqing to go out for a walk. At the beginning, the atmosphere was quite depressing because Chen Yi and Zhang Qian were still angry.

At this time, a kite suddenly flew from everyone's heads. Zhou Enlai joked at Zhang Qian when he saw this, Zhang Qian is like a string on a kite. If you want the kite to fly longer and farther, the string must be tied not loose or tight, but if it is tied too tight, the string of the kite will be easily broken and the kite will be easily fly away. While everyone present was amused by this, Zhang Qian also felt that she had taken too much control over Chen Yi, which led to such a big opinion on her now. so she took the initiative to make peace with Chen Yi on the spot.

, and Chen Yi didn't care. The divorce was just an angry word, and he wanted his wife to apologize in a low voice, so he naturally had to put down his airs and say sorry to Zhang Qian.

Soon the relationship between the two became as reconciled. Chen Yi was always very guilty about the divorce that year, but Zhang Qian didn't take it too seriously. However, soon after the reunion of their lives, also began to come to an end.

Chen Yi and Zhang Qian were diagnosed with cancer one after another. Compared with Zhang Qian, Chen Yi, who was in his 70s at the time, had to take a step earlier and died in 1972. In this year, Zhang Qian was also diagnosed with cancer.

However, Zhang Qian at that time In order to fulfill Chen Yi's wish, insisted on it and completed Chen Yi's masterpiece "Selected Poems of Chen Yi" after the operation.

Perhaps it was the end of my wish. After Zhang Qian finished her lyrics, she passed away two years after Chen Yi's death. A pair of enviable beauties became the past of history.
