She is a secret spy and an underground worker. kept secrets during the revolutionary period and escaped from the enemy's prison under pregnancy. It is a legend of a generation;
She is Chairman Mao's dual children's family, The eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the eldest son, the second son of Chairman Mao, became Chairman Mao's closest "in-law";
Zhang Wenqiu, an old man who lived nearly a hundred years old, the story on her is awe-in-law.
Two-time prison sentence and spy career
Zhang Wenqiu's grandfather Zhang Yuting was a knowledgeable and talented man . He was extremely smart since childhood and was considered to have the best talent. Later, when he went to Beijing to take the exam, he was framed by corrupt imperial examination officials because of his upright character and ultimately failed to achieve fame.
Zhang Yuting therefore took a different approach and turned to martial arts. Finally, he was elected to the front of the palace for an interview with his outstanding martial arts skills. However, the emperor of Xianfeng suddenly relied on his literary talent, and was shocked by his literary talent. Therefore, he was appointed as "Tanhua"
. The eldest son of his grandfather Zhang Yuting, who was Zhang Wenqiu's father, married Kong Qinglan, the daughter of an old scholar. The old scholar taught for decades, and the daughter he trained was also well-educated, intelligent and gentle.
Both the father and mother are talented men and beautiful women. Zhang Wenqiu was born in such a family from . At the age of 14, she was admitted to Hubei Provincial Women's Normal School.
Zhang Wenqiu grew up in an era when the old and new eras alternated, and the fire of revolution was burning. Although the Zhang family was a family of officials, their father and mother were both well-educated scholars and were relatively enlightened.
Zhang Wenqiu secretly participated in revolutionary activities outside and participated in the "May Fourth Movement". Zhang's father and mother actually said nothing. One of her half-brothers Zhang Chunsheng also directly participated in Xinhai Revolution .
In Hubei Provincial Women's Normal University, Zhang Wenqiu experienced the baptism of the revolutionary wave, and the shadow of the old era was completely washed away. , coupled with the influence of Dong Biwu, Chen Tanqiu and others, Zhang Wenqiu became a staunch revolutionary. Zhang Wenqiu was always on the front line in the strike movement of
Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway and Beijing-Hanzhou Railway . In 1924, Zhang Wenqiu applied to join the China Socialist Youth League. In 1926, he officially became a glorious Communist Party member.
At this time, Zhang Wenqiu was the Minister of Women's Department of Jingshan County of the Communist Party of China, and naturally he was wanted by the reactionaries. Chen Hongze, the county magistrate of Jingshan County, arrested Communist Party members everywhere in the county, destroying the party organization. also offered a reward of 1,000 yuan for Ocean .
Zhang Wenqiu had no choice but to change his face and hide in the homes of the masses when he lost contact with the organization. When it was late at night, was lying in a dead coffin and was secretly transported out. After leaving the city, Zhang Wenqiu went north and entered Henan and other places. After several months of guerilla struggle, he reconnected with the organization and came to Shanghai to carry out underground work.
Zhang Wenqiu's husband Liu Qianchu is also an excellent Communist Party member. The two held a wedding when they were in Jingshan County, but they were forced to separate and lose contact shortly after they were together.
Liu Qianchu
After coming to Shanghai, Zhang Wenqiu wanted to ask the organization to find her husband Liu Qianchu, but the revolutionary situation in Shanghai was extremely severe at that time and the party organization became very weak, so Zhang Wenqiu had to give up.
Until 1929, the organization transferred Zhang Wenqiu to Shandong to work . The person waiting at the joint location was her husband Liu Qianchu who had lost contact.
In fact, behind this is the contribution of Zhou Enlai, who was in charge of the overall situation in Shanghai at that time. When Zhou Enlai heard that Zhang Wenqiu's husband had lost contact in Hubei, he secretly searched for it. happened that the secretary of the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China had just been transferred, and his name was Liu Qianchu.
Just like that, Zhou Enlai transferred Zhang Wenqiu to work in Shandong, which fulfilled Zhang Wenqiu's wish. For this reason, Zhang Wenqiu has always been very grateful to Zhou Enlai.
Unfortunately, Zhang Wenqiu just met her husband Liu Qianchu and was betrayed by a traitor. Both of them were imprisoned. The enemy tortured the two. Before he was imprisoned, Zhang Wenqiu was pregnant, but even so, the enemy still attacked her. The comrades outside tried every means to rescue them. In the end, because Zhang Wenqiu was pregnant and the enemy could not get any news, she had to release her.
Before he was released from prison, Zhang Wenqiu came to Liu Qianchu's cell and asked her husband to give her daughter who was about to be born, "Meng Da (Liu Qianchu's pseudonym), give the child a name."
"Just call Siqi, I will always miss this land of Qilu" After saying this, Liu Qianchu looked at Zhang Wenqiu affectionately, and this glance became a farewell. After being released from prison, Zhang Wenqiu gave birth to his daughter Siqi in the hospital, and then returned to Shanghai with his daughter under the organizational arrangement. After months, her husband Liu Qianchu was taken to the execution ground and brutally killed.
Liu Qianchu did not reveal any secrets of the party and organization until the last moment, but the enemy was extremely cruel. He arranged the charges and killed Liu Qianchu with the mentality of believing that he would rather kill him than let him go.
The sacrifice of her husband made Zhang Wenqiu very painful, but she was smart and understood that the more cruel the enemy was, the more it showed the necessity of revolutionary struggle. When Liu Siqi was still in her infancy, Zhang Wenqiu resolutely re-entered his underground work.
The organization asked her to rest temporarily because of the grief of losing her husband and her young daughter who needed care. However, Zhang Wenqiu firmly disagreed and reported to the organization several times in a row to request assignment of work.
"Please rest assured that I will not let my personal emotions affect my tasks. Please organize the assignment of tasks." Zhang Wenqiu's firm attitude, the organization had to arrange a secret task for her.
"Five Husbands" and 3 daughters
In April 1931, under the leadership of Zhou Enlai, Zhang Wenqiu came to the office of Zorge . Zorge is a senior intelligence officer affiliated with Communist International . This time he was in Shanghai to collect information from the upper-level Kuomintang officers.
" From today on, you will be the leader of the Fourth Far East Bureau of the Communist International. This is your boss Richard Zorg ." Zhang Wenqiu looked at the foreigner with blond hair and strange eyes and nodded silently.
The next day, a young man named Wu Zhao came to Zorge's office, "I am your 'husband', I'm very happy to know you." Wu Zhao and Zhang Wenqiu greeted him.
Zhang Wenqiu understood it. This is already the "third husband" she pretended to be with others.
As early as when Zhang Wenqiu secretly fled Jingshan County in 1927, the organization arranged a person to partner with her along the way and continued to operate in the name of "couple and wife".
When Liu Xianyuan, the secretary-general of Hubei Provincial Party Committee, stood in front of her, Zhang Wenqiu was still confused, "I am already married, how can you be your wife?"
She had just married Liu Qianchu and was forced to separate and wanted to "pretend" a couple with another person. Zhang Wenqiu couldn't accept it psychologically for a while. Liu Xianyuan saw her concerns and was straightforward. He said:
"It is because you are already married that you pretend to be a wife. Those who have never been married are not suitable for you! And this is an organizational task. Can you accept it if you don't talk about love or love?"
Zhang Wenqiu also understood that he was a little tantrum. hurriedly said seriously, "Resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the organization." But when was sleeping at night, Zhang Wenqiu was stunned.
Liu Xianyuan fell asleep, and Zhang Wenqiu couldn't sleep at all. She just wore clothes and worked in bed all night. The next day she got up in a daze to wash. Until the day after the task, Zhang Wenqiu could not adapt to the life of living with her "fake husband".
That day, Liu Xianyuan packed up a few clothes and went out early in the morning. Zhang Wenqiu thought it was the same as usual, but he didn't see anyone coming back until midnight. After asking, he learned that Liu Xianyuan had been transferred to another place.
Later in 1930, after Zhang Wenqiu was transferred back to Shanghai from Shandong, the organization arranged for Lin Yunan and her to pretend to be a "couple and wife" to get rid of the enemy's spies in Shanghai.
This time, Zhang Wenqiu became much more relaxed. Lin Yunan and Zhang Wenqiu knew each other when they were in Wuhan. They were also old comrades-in-arms for many years. They didn’t care so much about being together.
This time, the life of "couples" lasted for less than a year, and Comrade Lin Yunan died in , and then it was the current Comrade Wu Zhao assigned by the Communist International.
Later, when Zhang Wenqiu recalled this experience, she still couldn't understand what she did during that period. was actually the first time she had come into contact with intelligence work.
Every morning, she has to read various newspapers, then sort out the valuable information in it and hand it over to Zorge for review, and then send it to Moscow.
Makeup and dressing and counter-tracking have become skills that she must master. She has also developed an excellent memory. Once she receives confidential information, she will quickly memorize it and then destroy the original.
will not make the information into micro film until it reaches a safe place and hide it on it for transmission. In 1933, after Zorge went to Japan to start work, Zhang Wenqiu's "couple" life and spy life ended together.
However, this experience in intelligence life has brought great help to her subsequent work. In fact, Zhang Wenqiu has been engaged in underground work, and there is no essential difference between it and intelligence work.
Her "fourth husband" Li Yaojing and her partnered with her for less than half a year before they were killed at the hands of the enemy. Then they met her husband Chen Zhenya for the rest of her life.
says it is "five husbands". In fact, there are only two husbands, Liu Qianchu and Chen Zhenya, who are her real husbands, have a real marriage relationship, and the rest are all work needs.
Chen Zhenya was that Zhang Wenqiu only met after coming to Yan'an in 1937. Chen Zhenya was an old revolutionary and a staunch Communist Party member. She participated in the Pingjiang Uprising, walked through the Long March, and was imprisoned by the Kuomintang prison.
When Zhang Wenqiu first arrived in Yan'an, it was Chen Zhenya who received him. Chen Zhenya had one leg removed from the wound. Zhang Wenqiu looked at the man who had walked the Long March with one leg and fell in love with him since then.
Later, Chen Zhenya and Zhang Wenqiu were locked up together. Chen Zhenya was killed. He was only 39 years old when he died. Zhang Wenqiu escaped alone. never found a husband again. He raised his three daughters with great difficulty.
Acquaintance with the Chairman
Acquaintance with Chairman Mao’s family began when Zhang Wenqiu and Liu Qianchu had just met. It was Chairman Mao whom Liu Qianchu took Zhang Wenqiu to meet. At that time, Chairman Mao’s wife Yang Kaihui warmly received the two.
The first time we met, Chairman Mao saw the relationship between the two and said jokingly, "In , you two have children, so you should eat more peanuts! Peanuts, peanuts, and have a flower! Have a boy and a girl."
said in one sentence, lowering his head shyly, and Yang Kaihui quickly smoothed out the situation, "The two of them have not yet confirmed their relationship!" The restrained atmosphere of the first meeting suddenly became much more active.
Later, after the two got married, Chairman Mao also said, " is not friends enough, not enough friends enough, and I didn't even invite me to have wedding candy when I got married! Forget it, when I have a child next time, I must give me red eggs to eat!"
Later many years later, Zhang Wenqiu always remembered Chairman Mao's words. She said, "I didn't expect the Chairman to remember my affairs. It was just our second meeting."
Liu Siqi, who was over 7 years old at the time, was lively and cute, smart and clever. Chairman Mao thought he liked her very much, so he asked her, " Who are your parents?"
Liu Siqi pointed to Zhang Wenqiu and Chen Zhenya who were walking forward, and said, "That's my parents." Chen Zhenya hurriedly explained "Chairman, this child is the descendant of the martyr Liu Qianchu."
Chairman Mao's expression became heavy when he heard this. He said in pain, " Comrade Qianchu is a good comrade, what a comrade! You must raise his descendants well and raise them!" After
After saying that, he was silent for a while, turned his head and smiled at Liu Siqi and said, "Can I be your 'goddad'?" Liu Siqi looked at the loving Chairman Mao in front of him and nodded without thinking.
Chairman Mao smiled and said, " is so good! Call me! ." Liu Siqi shouted loudly, "Goddad!" Chairman Mao excitedly picked up Liu Siqi and said happily "I have a daughter!"
Become Chairman Mao's in-laws
, Chairman Mao saw it, he sent someone to invite Zhang Wenqiu to his own residence in Xibaipo . As soon as he met, he said "Comrade Wenqiu, we are old friends. I want to talk to you about housework today, okay?"
Then Chairman Mao said openly and honestly about his son Mao Anying likes Liu Siqi. At the end, he also said, "Siqi is a very sensible child. She and An Ying are descendants of martyrs. I Seeing that they will live a happy life in the future, what do you think? "
Chairman Mao's words shocked Zhang Wenqiu and thanked him quickly, but Chairman Mao held Zhang Wenqiu's hand and said, "Don't let us say two families, since the two children are interested, I am willing to be a 'matchmaker'!"
On October 15, 1949, in the study of Zhongnanhai , a frugal wedding was held here, and only Mao Anying, Liu Siqi, Chairman Mao and Zhang Wenqiu were present. However, in 1950, Mao Anying rushed to the Korean battlefield but unfortunately died.
Zhang Wenqiu's second daughter Zhang Shaohua (later renamed Shaohua), and Mao Anying, the second son of Chairman Mao, also got married in 1960. On the wedding day, Chairman Mao said happily, "We are kissing now!"
Later, when Chairman Mao passed away, Zhang Wenqiu was deeply saddened. In his later years, Zhang Wenqiu was once in charge of the China Blind Welfare Association. He resigned in 1982 and began to live his life. He lived until 2002 to die at the age of 99.
