One day in September 1965, Chairman Mao was working in his apartment, Juxiang Bookstore .
At this moment, his secretary suddenly handed him a file bag transferred by the General Office of the Central Committee, which also read "Please identify the person in the photo" .
Open the file bag, and there was a letter in it, and a rather old photo. Looking closely, I saw that there was a young man and woman who behaved intimately. Afterwards, the chairman looked at it and then spoke out:
"I recognize the couple in the photo. I got along with them when I was in Ruijin !"
So, who is the couple in the photo?
Who specially sent the photos for the Chairman to personally identify them?
An old photo that was hard-won
The person who sent the photo to the chairman was named Shi Yi, and his father was Communist Early cadre Zhao Baocheng .
However, although he was Zhao Baocheng's only son, in the context of the failure of the revolution, in order to avoid the persecution of the Kuomintang reactionaries, at the request of his father, Shi Yi followed his mother's surname of Shi Danfeng .
For Shi Yi, the photo handed to the chairman was precious to him, because it was the only photo left by his father in the world. When it comes to the origin of this only photo, it can be called a strange twist.
That photo
In Shi Yi's memory, he seemed to have never seen his father before. When he was young, whenever he asked about his father, his mother Shi Danfeng always used "going abroad" as an excuse to evade him.
Wait until 1936, 6-year-old Shi Yi followed his mother Shi Danfeng and returned to his hometown in Yicheng, Shanxi. Because he had the label of "revolutionary relatives", in order to avoid the suspicion of Yan Xishan's of them, Shi Danfeng was arranged to work in Yichuan Middle School.
Here, Shi Danfeng met Li Zhongyi, a student she once taught.
Old friends met. After a chat, Li Zhongyi took the initiative to mention Shi Danfeng's husband Zhao Baocheng. She asked, "Mr. Shi, where is Mr. Zhao?"
. After hearing this question, Shi Danfeng did not evade the student like he was evading his son. She told Li Zhongyi: "My husband has sacrificed..."
At this point, Li Zhongyi certainly knew that he had probably said the wrong thing and was about to change the topic quickly. However, Shi Danfeng may have been depressed for many years and no one talked about it, so actually continued to talk about it.
listened to Shi Danfeng: "He sacrificed his life to carry out the revolution, leaving us orphans and widows. My hometown Yicheng is now occupied by the Japanese. I have been raided in war and a set of house searches. I don't even have a photo of him now..."
Just like that, Shi Danfeng said in detail about his disagreement, which really made the listeners sad and cry. Li Zhongyi had to comfort this sad widow while keeping the matter in his heart, thinking about giving some help to the family of this revolutionary martyr in the future.
You can't say anything, not long after, Li Zhongyi mysteriously found Shi Danfeng, and asked with a "smile" smile: "Mr. Shi, guess what I found?"
It turned out that it was because of Li Zhongyi's extensive friendship or good luck, or he found a photo of Li Zhongyi that was left by Zhao Baocheng in the past, which clearly stated the words "1929, 4, 13, taken in Shanghai, Hongkou Park ".
Seeing Li Zhongyi take out this photo, Shi Danfeng recognized it at a glance. This was a photo he and his husband took when they were working underground in Shanghai. was recalled by the photos, and she suddenly became tears.
Just like that, after Li Zhongyi handed the photo to Shi Danfeng, Shi Danfeng always put it in his pocket, inseparable from it.
Why do martyrs’ children often get troubled?
The photo of Shi Yi seeing his mother's arms was on September 30, 1956.
That day, Shi Yi, who was in the army, got married in the army of Dandong . His mother Shi Danfeng was in poor health and could not travel far, so she missed her son's wedding. However, in order to give his son a blessing for his wedding, Shi Danfeng wrote a letter for his son, and finally carefully stuffed the photo into the mezzanine of the letter paper.
However, it is worth mentioning that the reason why Shi Danfeng handed over this photo she cherished to his son was not only to celebrate his son's wedding, but also to further confirm the identity of his son, the child of a martyr, so that he could join the party smoothly.
Speaking of which, Shi Yi joined the army at the age of 17. That was after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. After the People's Liberation Army liberated his hometown Yicheng, Shi Yi decisively joined the People's Liberation Army of China, and later participated in the battles of liberation of Linfen, Taiyuan, Xi'an, Chengdu and other battles.
When he heard that his son joined the army, his mother Shi Danfeng was of course very happy. For this reason, Shi Danfeng, who had been assigned to work in Chaoyi County, Shaanxi at that time, wrote a special letter and mailed it to Shi Yi's troops from thousands of miles away.
In addition to family matters, in the letter, this old revolutionary nagged the revolutionary story between her and her husband Zhao Baocheng back then, and finally asked if he had joined the party.
That year was 1950, and Shi Yi was working in the art troupe of the army. After being asked by his mother, Shi Yi, who had already thought about joining the party and had already been enlightened, immediately found the head of the art troupe and filled out the voluntary for joining the party for the first time.
However, what made him frustrated was that although the grassroots party branch agreed to his application, when the application arrived at the League headquarters, the political instructor of the directly affiliated organ talked to him and told him: "It will take another test for a while..."
This was a polite rejection.
Although he was rejected, Shi Yi was not discouraged. In the next year, he filled out the application form for joining the party many times, and persevered in showing his attitude of wanting to join the party, but the reality has poured him cold water again and again.
Applying to join the party many times was rejected, and Shi Yi couldn't help but start thinking about the "problems" in him. But the more he thought, the more Shi Yi became "unable to understand". In the end, it was a member of the party branch who "solved his confusion" for him.
In a sentence: "Inspection" and other excuses are all excuses. The real reason why his application for joining the party is frequently rejected is that is actually because of his "component".
But why does Shi Yi, a famous martyr’s child, have the problem of “components”?
Why are revolutionary martyrs criticized as "bureaucratic"?
Shi Yi's father Zhao Baocheng's original name is Zhao Chengbi , from Shanxi. Because of a father who was an official under the command of "King of Shanxi" Yan Xishan, their Zhao family became a well-known local big family.
The family is well-off, so of course they have to go to school. At the request of his father, Zhao Baocheng first entered a private school and then entered a middle school. Later, naturally, because of his understanding of a few words, was gradually influenced by some advanced foreign thoughts.
Looking at China at that time, it is not necessary to say that it is poor and weak, but it was once deeply trapped in the dilemma of "strong enemies outside are eyeing each other and warlords are fighting each other inside". As the land of China was full of war, many people naturally suffered unrestrained disasters and were then displaced.
In fact, it is precisely because of witnessing this scene that this young man secretly determined in his heart that he must find a way to save the country and serve the people.
In 1923, Zhao Baocheng was admitted to university and soon came into contact with Mr. Li Dazhao, who was at the forefront of the times in the university student movement. It was after listening to Mr. Li Dazhao's teachings several times that Zhao Baocheng thought he had found the lighthouse that truly belonged to him, so he resolutely joined the Communist Party of China in 1924.
Li Dazhao
After joining the party, he met his wife Shi Danfeng, worked hard together, and worked together in Shanghai to work underground work of our party. Later it was transferred to the Central Soviet Area.
In the Central Soviet Area, namely Ruijin, Zhao Baocheng was appointed as the vice president of the Workers and Peasants News Agency. He worked diligently and hardworkingly in office. quickly became familiar with Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and others who also presided over the work in the Central Soviet Area.
Soon after, because of his outstanding work, Zhao Baocheng was promoted to the director of the General Affairs Department. However, at this time, he probably wouldn't have imagined that it was in this position that what he had experienced would actually affect his son's application for joining the party decades later.
It turns out that after the fourth anti-encirclement and suppression of was successfully concluded, the development of the Central Soviet Area reached its highest peak in history. At the same time, Ruijin will usher in the convening of the second National Soviet Congress of in the near future.
With such a double happiness, the central government decided to build auditorium , monument and other buildings in Ruijin. It happened that Zhao Baocheng was the director of the General Affairs Department of the Central Government. Therefore, the work of supervising the construction of the above-mentioned buildings naturally fell on him.
Ruijin Red Army Martyrs Monument
After receiving the task, Zhao Baocheng knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he urgently summoned Xu Yi, the director of the "Project Preparation and Construction Department", and Zuo Xiangyun, the main person in charge of the project, to come for a meeting. At the meeting, the above two people and other cadres who need to participate in the project, mobilized ideologically.
Then, after four months of intense construction, the above-mentioned building was finally successfully completed before the Soviet Standard Conference was held. For this reason, Chairman Mao also specially found Zhao Baocheng, and expressed his gratitude to him for completing the construction as scheduled.
Ruijin Auditorium ruins
can be praised by Chairman Mao. There is no doubt that this is the glorious moment of Zhao Baocheng's life.
However, shortly after he was praised, the Revolutionary Government of the Central Soviet Area issued an order to strictly control the corruption of cadres. After that, Zhao Baocheng's achievements turned into a "stain" in an instant.
It turned out that as soon as the order was issued, Xu Yi, the former director of the "Project Preparation and Construction Department" of Zhao Baocheng, and Zuo Xiangyun, the former main person in charge of , was investigated by the Ministry of Workers and Peasants' Supervision. The charge was for corruption during the construction of the monument, memorial tower, and memorial hall !
As the immediate boss of the two, Zhao Baocheng made a mistake that he trusted these two cadres too much, so that during the construction process, although he heard that the two were suspected of corruption, he just smiled and did not investigate it in depth.
So, when the serious mistakes made by the two were exposed, Zhao Baocheng suddenly realized.
It is true that Zhao Baocheng was dedicated to serving the people during his tenure and was not as corrupt as his two subordinates. However, the central government was already controlled by the dogmatic Bogu and others. In the end, Bogu characterized the mistakes he made as bureaucratic style and corruption. was basically equivalent to putting an end to his political life.

Chairman Mao personally proved to the martyrs
After being rejected for another application to join the party, Shi Yi deeply understood what a huge impact a wrong judgment will have on a person's life. In order to be able to join the party himself, and to restore his father's innocence and not let his mother's hope fade, Shi Yi resolutely embarked on the journey of "seeking his father".
Ideals are full and reality is skinny. In the days that followed, like the "application form" that has hit a wall, this journey of finding a father was also tortuous and bumpy for Shi Yi. No matter where he sent the photo and the letter of his defense, the response given by was nothing but found.
In the increasingly helplessness, Shi Yi finally made a bold decision.
It was an evening in July 1965. Shi Yi sealed a photo of his parents into the envelope, posted an eight-cent stamp on the envelope, and finally stopped writing the line of words "Chairman Mao Zedong personally opened" on the envelope, and then took advantage of the lack of people around him to put the letter into the green postbox.
That's it. In September 1965, the letter finally came to the table of Chairman Mao's Juxiang Bookstore.
After reading the photos and the letter, Chairman Mao was immediately evoked endless memories. He said:
"At that time, we failed to fight the five anti-encirclement and suppression, we had to Long March , but we could not just leave the few counties in the Ruijin base area alone. Therefore, Zhao Baocheng was left to fight guerrillas and served as the secretary of the Xingguo County Party Committee. In the end, it was said that he had sacrificed..."
Thinking of this, Chairman Mao came back to his senses and immediately picked up his pen and wrote a line of words on the file bag transferred by the General Office of the Central Committee:
"Zhao Baocheng served as the General Affairs Director of the Central Government in the Central Soviet Area. I worked with him. Please ask the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to find relevant personnel to make proof in sections and tell their families..."
Then, the chairman was stunned for a moment, and continued to write on the file bag:
"It's not just this one, I think, cadres should also find out the identity demands of other martyrs' children. Please study them carefully."
Why is Chairman Mao popular? This is the answer.
ending:
With Chairman Mao’s confirmation, Shi Yi quickly received a response from the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Preferential and Responsibility Bureau, and his father Zhao Baocheng has also received treatment from the revolutionary martyrs since then.
Not long after, Shi Yi's hometown also held a chasing ceremony for martyrs Zhao Baocheng. The local government also specially created a plaque with "Martyrs' Family" , which was hung on the lintel of his house.
words are all in this way. Zhao Baocheng is committed to the revolution, sacrifices heroically, and becomes the cornerstone of victory.
Chairman Mao values love and righteousness, seeking truth from facts, brushing away the dust of history with his own hands and returning the innocence of the martyrs!
As the saying goes: heroes and heroes are extremely benevolent!
