965, Jiang Jie's only son Peng Yun ended the college entrance examination, with a gratifying score and became the top scorer in science in Sichuan Province that year. Peng Yun did not think too much and rejected the olive branch of the prestigious schools of Tsinghua and Peking University, and resolutely applied for Harbin Military Engineering College .
However, Peng Yun, who had excellent grades in , was stuck in the physical examination. Just when the family was in a heavy mood, Harbin Military Engineering College learned about Peng Yun's situation and believed that he was a child of a martyr and had extremely outstanding cultural achievements, so he admitted Peng Yun in an extraordinary manner.
Revolutionary inheritance: Sister Jiang entrusts her orphan, Sister Yao Yuyun
949 On November 29, 1949, Chongqing was liberated, and Tan Zhenglun, also known as Sister Tan Yao, wiped Peng Yun early in the morning: "Yun'er, we are going to stand out, your mother is coming back!"
The young Peng Yun put his little hand on Sister Tan Yao's neck, very puzzled: "Mom, you are my mother Mom, where is there a mother? "
Sister Tan caressed Peng Yun's head lovingly: "I am not your biological mother, your biological mother is Jiang Zhuyun, let's go find her now."
Three months ago, Tan Zhuan received a letter from Jiang Jie sent people to work hard. However, no one could have thought that this letter written with toothpicks and straw paper would become Jiang Jie's final pen.
"Brother Zhuan... If you are unlucky, Yun'er will give you it. I hope to teach you to follow the footsteps of your parents, build a new China, and strive for the cause of communist revolution to the end. Children should never be spoiled, it is enough to eat plain food. Is the youngest sister still in Chongqing? If there is, Yun'er can't send a nursery... Say goodbye, I wish you all good health."
Peng Yun is the only son of the revolutionary martyrs Peng Yongwu and Jiang Jie. They were originally revolutionary comrades-in-arms. Before they met Jiang Jie, Peng Yongwu had already married Tan Yaojie, his wife, Yunyang County, Chongqing, for eight years, and had a son named Peng Bingzhong.
Peng Yongwu and Jiang Jie pretended to be husband and wife during the revolution, but in the end they fell in love over time and became true partners. In April 1946, they gave birth to their son Peng Yun in Chengdu.
In the second half of 1947, a student movement broke out. Peng Yongwu, an underground party in Chongqing, took a group of people to , Sichuan East , to launch an armed uprising, preparing to welcome liberation. Jiang Jie was responsible for contact work in this struggle and often escorted documents and medicine to the countryside. At that time, she had just undergone sterilization surgery.
Although the doctor did not agree to sterilize such a young, passionate and young revolutionary girl who had only one son, Jiang Jie had made up her mind: "Doctor, are you willing to let a promising young man carry one on his back, hold one in his arms, and hold one in his hands... drag his son to the countryside? If so, how can I benefit the people, contribute my strength to the prosperity of the country?"
Doctor emphasized that Peng Yun in Jiang Jie's arms was the only child. "This child has just been born, and the road ahead is still long! I am considering you and your husband and family!" The doctor comforted her heartily.
Jiang looked at Peng Yun in his arms, his eyes flashed: "Don't worry, we are young people in the new era. We don't treat our children as private property, and we don't want to raise children to prevent old age. Even if we have no children, we should do our best for the people!"
In October 1947, when the revolution was in full swing,Jiang wrote a letter to Sister Tan Yao, in which she conveyed the combination of her and Peng Yongwu. She had difficulties and apologies, but more was a plea - she asked Sister Tan Yao to come to Chongqing to take care of Xiao Peng Yun as soon as possible.
That was the first time and the only time for Peng Yun’s mothers to communicate, but they had never met each other before.
Knowing that her husband was united with another woman and gave birth to a child, Sister Tan was very sad, but when she learned from Sister Jiang's letter that the two of them had the hardships and obstacles of the revolution, she felt a little relieved.
In February 1948, Tan Yaojie came to Chongqing with the threat of white fear and took over the one-year and ten-month-old little Peng Yun from Jiang Jie's comrades.
From February 1948 to November 1949, for nearly two years, Sister Tan Yao took Xiao Peng Yun to hide in the east and escaped disasters again and again, causing the enemy to arrest Peng Yun and threaten Sister Jiang's ugly plan to abort.
On the day of Chongqing liberation, Tan Yaojie carried Xiao Pengyun and walked to Ciqikou, Hongyan Village and multiple "Escaped Comrade Registration Offices" to find Jiang Jie, but the two of them failed to find Jiang Jie for three consecutive days.
Until after Jiang Jie's death, Tan Yaojie had red eyes, gritted her teeth, and called her younger brother Tan Zhuan, and went to the prison of the "Sino-US Cooperation Institute" within a radius of more than ten miles. She searched for Jiang Jie's body over and over again. Finally, she saw the terrible scene in the radio station Lanya. Tan Yaojie closed her eyes deeply and burst into tears.
Soon after, she learned that Peng Yongwu had sacrificed heroically to cover up her comrades' breakthrough a year ago.
Bad news came one after another. Sister Tan Yao looked at the two children in the family, one was confused and the other was completely unaware of it. What should the children do if she fell down?
Since then, Sister Tan Yao has been raising two children.
In order to take care of the children of martyrs, Peng Yun was sent to Chongqing No. 1 nursery school. Sister Yao had a lot of experience in literary and artistic work. According to the standards for the distribution of work of martyrs at that time, she could be assigned to work in the government office. However, in order to take care of Peng Yun, she took the initiative to ask to be assigned to the nursery school to be a nurseryman.
As soon as Sister Yao entered, she went to the hardest and most tiring class. It was nothing more, just because Peng Yun was here.
The nursery is far away from Sister Yao’s home. In order not to be distracted, Sister Yao sent her biological son Peng Bingzhong to the Geleshan Orphanage, which is far inferior to that of Chongqing No. 1 Nursery, and instead brought the young Peng Yun with her every day.
Every year on Qingming Festival and Martyrs' Martyrs' Martyrs Day, Sister Tan Yao also has to carry out revolutionary education to Peng Yun alone: "What do you have to report to your parents this grave sweeping?"
Although Sister Yao loves Peng Yun very much, she never spoils her. She always remembers what Jiang Jie said in her orphan book, "Don't be spoiled, just take a simple meal."
Peng Yun has had excellent grades since childhood and lives very independent. He can do everything he can, such as washing clothes, repairing clothes, putting buttons, washing quilt covers, and doing it yourself.
In the autumn of 1959, Peng Yun was admitted to Chongqing Bashu Middle School. When he was in junior high school, Peng Yun was the League secretary.
From the outside, the boy was thin, but his head was particularly big. He was wearing a pair of myopia glasses with a height of 600 degrees. Later, the glasses were somehow "missed legs", so Peng Yun put a string made of cotton thread on his ears.
resolutely went north: the top scorer in the central and provincial provinces, entered Harbin Military Industry
Although Peng Yun's classmates rarely discussed it, everyone knew in their hearts that this class was unique because of Peng Yun.
School has dispatched excellent teachers for this class, created good learning conditions, cared for the students in the class, and even if there are any activities in the city, they always think of Peng Yun’s class at the first time.
Peng Yun was very thin, but his grades did not affect him at all. Whenever there were any competitions in the school, Peng Yun must be among the best.
965, after the college entrance examination was released, Tan Yaojie learned that her child was the provincial top scorer. She couldn't help but smile on her face, "Which school do you want to apply to?"
The eldest son Bingzhong had already been admitted to Jiang Jie's alma mater, Sichuan University . Peng Yun's score, let alone Sichuan University, even Tsinghua can apply.
Who knew that Peng Yun, who had always been cautious, said without hesitation: "Har Jun Industrial."
Sister Tan Yao was stunned when she heard this choice. Peng Yun was thin and small, only 1.6 meters tall, and she also had a pair of glasses that were more than 600 degrees.
Sister Tan Yao thought about it and advised: "The idea is very good, but will Harbin be too far away..."
Peng Yun has always been a very sensible child, but when he makes up his mind, he has to do something.
Harbin Military Engineering College is different from ordinary universities. As a military academy, the physical requirements for candidates are different from those for ordinary universities. The minimum requirements for their physical fitness are to meet the conditions for military service in the army.
Before the physical test was reached, Peng Yun was directly stuck during the physical examination - he was only 92 kilograms and was too thin.
The first round of physical examinations, Peng Yun was swept down.
At that time, whether it was Peng Bingzhong who was preparing to go abroad or Tan Yaojie, who was already worried, they were in a very heavy mood. Even Tan Zhuan, who was always at ease with Peng Yun, came to comfort him: "Baby, this matter... there are many roads."
At that time, the teacher of the Tsinghua University Admissions Office "targeted" Peng Yun early, came to Peng Yun's home to do work repeatedly, and advised him to study at Tsinghua University.
However, when Major General Liu Juying, the dean of Harbin Military Engineering College, learned about Peng Yun's situation, he decided to " to reduce talents without any restrictions and " and decided to admit Peng Yun in an extraordinary way.
In fact, when Peng Yun's physical examination was washed by Harbin Military Engineering College, he was always calm and did not show too much emotion. It seemed that this possibility was long as he expected. However, when Harbin Military Engineering issued an extraordinary admission notice to him, the young man still stood up excitedly: "Really?"
Peng Yun bid farewell to the tearful sister Tan Yao, and went to Harbin Military Engineering College with a few old classmates to go around, had a big meal in the restaurant, and celebrated his brand new university life.
During the enlistment training, Peng Yun worked very hard. He understood that he had come in with his cultural achievements and the identity of a martyr orphan, but if he did not improve his physical fitness as soon as possible, he would be ashamed of the dean and his mother Tan.
After a brief enlistment training, in October 1965, Peng Yun was sent to the 69th Division of the former 23rd Army of the 23rd Army stationed in Yushutun Village, Qiqihar City to serve as a soldier.
Before going to exercise, the college decided to give him the pseudonym Li Shi, considering Peng Yun's safety. In the army, his classmates called him "Li Shi".
However, Peng Yun was not hidden tightly before. If he had paid attention to Jiang Jie's orphan, it would not be difficult to recognize him. Soon, a careful comrade recognized him, and immediately, it was well known in the regiment.
At this time, Peng Yun's regiment was unable to do so, so he asked the Political Department of Harbin Military Engineering College for instructions, requiring the disclosure of Peng Yun's true identity, and at the same time, he could take this opportunity to give a public traditional education report to the cadres and soldiers of the regiment.
At the end of October 1965, in the 206th Regiment Auditorium, Peng Yun told everyone about his life experience for the first time.
When talking about his mother, he paused: "I don't have any intuitive feeling about my mother. There is only one photo with my parents at home." As soon as said this, the venue was silent, and everyone and Peng Yun's eyes turned red little by little.
Jiang Jie's descendants: Start a family and start a career, have a stable life
During college, Peng Yun and his college classmate Yi Xiaozhi fell in love. Yi Xiaozhi's parents were both old cadres working in Beijing, and their grandfather was the uncle of Martyr Yang Kaihui.
After graduating from university, Peng Yun first went to the factory in Shenyang. In the first month of his work, he sent all his salary to Sister Tan Yao. Then, every time he increased his salary, he sent the part of his salary increase home. Although it was not much, it was his most filial piety.
At that time, the by-products in the country were in short supply. Peng Yun, who worked at the airport, saved his lard, sugar, canned food and other foods. He had to ask someone to buy what he didn't have, and mail it or ask someone to bring it to his mother and brother in Sichuan.
In order to raise two children, Tan Yaojie lived a very economical life, but her hypertension, asthma, and rheumatism have not improved for many years.Peng Yun tried every means to buy Northeast supplements and sent them back.
In the spring of 1973, Peng Yun went to Beijing to register for marriage with his lover Yi Xiaozhi.
As soon as I got the marriage certificate in Beijing, the two hurriedly took the train back to Sichuan to visit their families.
It was a turbulent era, and the family suffered a lot, but when Sister Tan Yao and Peng Bingzhong saw Peng Yun bringing back a "People's Liberation Army wife", they were so happy that they couldn't stop.
On the same day, Sister Tan insisted on taking out her urgent needs and invited a guest for the newlyweds Peng Yun and Yi Xiaozhi, which was all considered as a re-working ceremony.
At night, she called Peng Yun and Yi Xiaozhi to the room, held the hands of the two people, looked left and right, as if she couldn't see enough.
"You two have inherited the will of your father. Yun'er, if your father and mother are still alive, it would be great to see you like this!"
Sister Tan Yao sighed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I have completed your mother Jiang's instructions. It depends on you to be aware of it in the future. Mom, I will feel at ease even if I die now..."
Hearing this, Peng Yun and Yi Xiaozhi's eyes became wet. At this time, Peng Bingzhong and his wife Liang Suying knocked on the door: "Mom, on a happy day, are you too happy? What are you saying unlucky words? Don't you look forward to holding your grandson? Xiaoyun and Xiaozhi will satisfy your wish soon."
The family smiled and shy.
Early the next morning, Sister Tan Yao, Peng Bingzhong, Peng Yun, Yi Xiaozhi, Liang Suying, and his niece's family of six went to the photo studio to take a family photo.
Peng Yun and Yi Xiaozhi stayed at home until the end of the holiday. Before leaving, Yi Xiaozhi hugged Sister Tan Yao: "Mom, Xiaoyun and I took a step first. After we arrived in Beijing, we called my brother and asked me to take you to Beijing. We both will definitely make you comfortable and comfortable living. Please wait for us."
However, no one expected that neither Peng Yun, Yi Xiaozhi nor Sister Yao could wait for that day.
After Peng Yun and Yi Xiaozhi arrived in Beijing, they gave birth to their son Zhuangzhuang. Until 1976, they could no longer hold back and wrote to their brother and sister-in-law, wanting to take their youngest sister to Beijing to fulfill their filial piety.
Sister Tan was very unhappy when she heard the news: "They are so filial..."
On May 30, 1976, the day before leaving, Sister Yao was invited by her old friend Lin Xiangbei to have a meal with three or five friends. Everyone was saying, "Sister Yao, you are so happy to have the hardships."
That night, Sister Yao returned to her son Peng Bingzhong's home in Sichuan University, talking nonstop, and she was completely sleepy. Unexpectedly, at 11 o'clock in the evening, Sister Yao suddenly shouted, "Head ache—" and lost consciousness. After the ambulance arrived, it was initially concluded that it was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. When Peng Yun and Yi Xiaozhi received the news, their youngest sister had already passed away suddenly. This outstanding Communist Party member was only 59 years old when he died.
Now, Peng Yun's son Peng Zhuangzhuang has long been a family and has children. In 2000, Peng Zhuangzhuang went to visit Grandma He Lili, a good friend of grandma during her school days. This time, Peng Zhuangzhuang met Grandma He's granddaughter and his future wife Zhongqi.
The two knew each other and fell in love, and then got married and had a couple. In 2018, Peng Yun was already in his seventies, and Peng Zhuangzhuang took his son Peng Ran to pay homage to the grandfather and grandmother.
When commemorating, he firmly said that although he had never seen his grandmother, he would read Jiang Jie's suicide note, and nine-year-old Peng Ran also wanted to read it. In the future, every generation of the Peng family would not forget the revolutionary martyrs, nor should he forget " Hongyan Spirit ".
