Preface: When Deng Yingchao looked at the straight handwriting on the envelope, he knew that it was sent by Zhou Enlai from Paris, France. She opened the envelope and saw that on the postcard, the grass was full of flowers, and the spring was bright. Three beautiful girls with blond hair were running in the wind. Behind the postcard is the familiar handwriting of Zhou Enlai: "Run towards the free spring! Break the shackles of the past! Run bravely!" Deng Yingchao, who was smart, alert, enthusiastic and lively, was stunned after reading the postcard. A sweet and passionate emotion suddenly grabbed her and shocked her heart.
Deng Yingchao and Zhou Enlai met during the May Fourth Patriotic Movement of Tianjin Students in 1919, and became revolutionary partners in Guangzhou on August 8, 1925. To this day, the perfect marriage between these two revolutionaries has been praised by the world and has been frequently reported in the newspapers. What is drawn from relevant historical materials below is a touching story that is rarely known in the love life of Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao.
1. From classmates to comrades, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao worked together to spread Marxism.
On October 10, 1919, 40,000 students from all schools in Tianjin and 50,000 people from all walks of life gathered in the Nankai Playground to hold a commemoration meeting for the 8th anniversary of the Republic. After the meeting, Deng Yingchao, Zhang Ruoming and other female members of the Awakening Society led the female students and the Boy Scouts to the front of the team, holding various small flags such as "Long Live China" and "Hearting and Patriotism" and shouting slogans. Just as he walked onto the streets, hundreds of security teams and policemen rushed towards the female student savagely with their butt stocks. Faced with the obstruction and attack from the military and police, Deng Yingchao rushed out bravely while shouting slogans such as "Police should also be patriotic" and "No to fight patriotic students". In the face of violence, everyone did not surrender and rushed to the police department under the leadership of Zhou Enlai and others.
At this time, everyone recommended Zhou Enlai, Li Yitao and other four people as representatives and entered the police department to question them. Yang Yide, director of the Zhili Provincial Police, nicknamed "Yang Bangzi", refused to receive the meeting, but instead sent representative Ding Zhenzhi to meet with the student representative. As soon as they met, the angry Zhou Enlai questioned: "Why are the masses prohibited from marching on National Day? Why are they allowed to insult the military and police to hurt students?" The arrogant Ding Zhenzhi couldn't listen to these things at all. He slapped the table and shouted: "You go to sue the court!" After that, he left.
On October 13, the Tianjin Student Union and the Women's Patriotic Comrades Association announced a four-day strike. The "Class Suspension Declaration" was drafted by Zhou Enlai. Starting from the 17th, the class will continue to strike for two more days. Within these 20 days, the members of the Awakening Society almost devoted themselves to this mass struggle. On November 16, Japanese thugs committed another Fuzhou tragedy that shot and killed Chinese residents, which shocked the whole country. More than 1,000 students from Tianjin immediately marched and gave speeches, distributing leaflets to support Fujian students. As the struggle deepens, the situation becomes more and more sinister. Zhou Enlai believed that the activities of the Awakening Society must take a combination of openness and secrets.
On December 10, the Tianjin Secondary School Student Federation, which was formed by male and female students, was established to call for boycott of Japanese goods. On the 15th, Zhou Enlai, as the executive section chief of the new student union, went to the Tianjin General Chamber of Commerce to discuss specific measures to boycott Japanese goods. On the 20th, a National Congress with more than 100,000 people attended the Nankai Playground, and more than 10 trucks of Japanese goods obtained from inspections were burned on the spot. The flames were flying in the square, and the flames soared into the sky, and the mountains of Japanese goods were burned to pieces. After the meeting, a huge demonstration was held. On December 27, tens of thousands of people from all walks of life in Tianjin held the Second National Congress at the Nankai Playground. After the meeting, a grand parade was held, shouting slogans such as "Save the nation! Patriotism! Sacrifice! Progress!"
These huge gatherings and marches were discussed in advance by members of the Enlai, Ma Jun, Deng Yingchao, and other members of the Enlightenment Society, Ma Qianli, Shi Zizhou, and others from Nankai School and the progressive teachers of the female teachers in Zhili, and have widely won the sympathy and support of people in the business, education and industry. At this time, the Zhili Provincial Police Department blatantly seized the Tianjin Student Federation and the Tianjin Federation of All Circles, etc., and posted a notice: "The Tianjin Student Federation, the Tianjin Federation of All Circles, and the National Congress have not approved the case without a petition order, which is a violation of the law." "All illegal and unfiled groups will be dissolved and cancelled.If there are private gatherings, associations, gatherings outside the house, pasting pictures, and verbal descriptions that are harmful and inciting, all punishments will be pursued in accordance with the law and will never be tolerated! "Afterward, the "Tianjin Student Federation Report" edited by Zhou Enlai was also sealed.
Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao and other student movement leaders could not openly perform. They moved into the concession and borrowed a small house from their classmates' homes to work, insisting on fighting. The small house was noticed by the spies, and they moved to the basement of a church girl's middle school. The members of the Juewu Society made an appointment at the time: during the patriotic movement, they did not fall in love or get married, and devoted themselves to the struggle to transform Chinese society, so as to avoid being dragged down by marriage or causing trouble for future generations. Zhou Enlai vigorously promoted celibacy and published related papers.
Zhou Enlai was one of the heads of the Juewu Society, and Deng Yingchao was a core member. They often met each other when carrying out political activities, and the two inevitably had some contact. At that time, men and women had to "teach and receive" when they interacted. Therefore, Zhou Enlai talked to Deng Yingchao. The number of times is not many, and it is not long.
On January 23, 1920, an investigator from the Tianjin Student Union was beaten by three Japanese ronin who broke into the store while inspecting Japanese goods at Kuifacheng Foreign Goods Store, which aroused public outrage. When representatives from all walks of life petitioned to the provincial office, the authorities not only did not punish the owner and Japanese ronin, but instead beat the students and arrested 20 representatives including Ma Jun, Ma Qianli, Shi Zizhou, etc. . Then the Tianjin Student Union and the Federation of All Circles were sealed off.
htmlOn January 29, more than 3,000 male and female students, led by Zhou Enlai and Guo Longzhen, set out from East Road and headed straight to the Governor's Office. The masses elected Zhou Enlai, Guo Longzhen, Yu Fangzhou and Zhang Ruoming as representatives, and asked to meet the Governor Cao Rui. Deng Yingchao also asked to go. Zhou Enlai said decisively: "If we are arrested, there will always be someone to respond outside and continue the struggle! "So, the 16-year-old girl stayed there. The gate of the provincial office was closed, and a large number of military and police carried guns and ammunition. If they were facing a great enemy, the representatives were not allowed to enter. Zhou Enlai ignored the obstruction of the military and police, and forced himself into the provincial office with Guo Longzhen, Yu Fangzhou and Zhang Ruoming. As soon as they entered, they were beaten and more than 20 people were arrested. After Zhou Enlai and others were arrested, they were detained in the battalion office of the police department, together with the formerly arrested representatives, they were first detained in the battalion office of the Police Department. They could not meet or talk to each other. The reactionary authorities took the method of delay and did not transfer it to the court for public "Interrogation" and was not released, which delayed for more than two months. On April 2, Zhou Enlai and his friends secretly contacted each other and launched a hunger strike. They announced to the Police Department that they had been detained for more than 70 days and had not been formally tried, which is contrary to the provisions of the Republic of China's laws and new criminal laws. Therefore, they notified the Police Department that the Police Department would be required to hold a public trial within 3 days, otherwise they would have a hunger strike. On the same day, Zhou Enlai, Ma Jun, Guo Longzhen, Ma Qianli and others began a hunger strike.The news of Zhou Enlai and others' hunger strike was quickly revealed through the guards who sympathized with students in prison, and Deng Yingchao fought for them The spirit of fighting was moved, and they were also worried about their weak bodies. On the 5th, Deng Yingchao gathered 24 members and supporters of the Awakening Society and rushed to the police department with a bedding on his back, demanding that the 24 arrested people be placed on a hunger strike to be imprisoned. Since the arrested people were students, teachers and businessmen, they had a considerable influence in society, the reactionary authorities had to worry about it. On the 7th, the Police Department was forced to transfer the arrested representative to the local procuratorate. After
was sent to the Procuratorate, the living conditions of the arrested representatives were improved. After the struggle, except for the two female representatives, everyone could live together and go to the free They agreed to do gymnastics every morning, hold plenary meetings every night, and recommend Zhou Enlai, Ma Qianli and Yu Lanzhu to organize a reading group to lead everyone to study social issues and organize a "prison university". It also decided to hold a speech every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to introduce various new ideas.
6 June 8, Li Yuru, a member of the Juewu Society, visited Zhou Enlai in prison and said goodbye to him. She is about to go to Europe to work and study and explore the truth. Zhou Enlai wrote in a long poem to her, "I am happy for you, go and "train your talents and keep your innocence." When I come back next day, I will pull out the flag of freedom and sing the song of independence.”In this free-style poem, Zhou Enlai mentioned going to "The Marseille coast, outside Paris, I may be able to see you." Indeed, Zhou Enlai was already considering coming to his hometown of Marxism to explore China's path in prison.
After struggles inside and outside the prison, on July 6, the prosecutor filed a public prosecution against Zhou Enlai and others. On the afternoon of July 17, the trial began. The court was filled with people listening. Deng Yingchao and the representatives of the Student Union sat in the auditorium. Outside the local trial hall, there were also waiting for news to support the male and female students and people from all walks of life who were arrested. After Zhou Enlai and others' arguments, the authorities had to release the detained representatives.
Unexpectedly, before being released from prison, Zhou Enlai and Ma Jun were expelled from Nankai University by President Zhang Boling. This practice has aroused widespread righteous indignation between and outside the school. Ma Qianli, who was in prison with Zhou Enlai and Ma Jun, was the general affairs director of Nankai University at the time. Although he was Zhang Boling's brother-in-law, he felt deeply regretful and resolutely resigned. Zhang Boling tried his best to keep him and sent people to his house twice to send him monthly salary, but Ma Qianli refused to accept it.
In fact, although Zhou Enlai had registered with Nankai University, he almost never took classes at Nankai University. Instead, he began his career as a professional revolutionary and was calm about the removal of Nankai University. In prison, he immediately had the idea of going abroad. If you can't study in Nankai, wouldn't it be better to study in Europe? What's more, at present, whether it is the Tianjin Student Federation or the Awakening Society, there are still many things that he needs to do, and the Awakening Society is the key point.
After being released from prison, Zhou Enlai presided over an annual meeting held by the Awakening Society in early August. In his speech, Zhou Enlai said: Only by uniting the large and small progressive groups that emerged across the country after the May Fourth Movement and taking joint actions can we transform the old China and save China's danger. It also pointed out that although there are many groups, their ideas are complex and they must be transformed in order to truly unite and strive for this goal. He summarized all this into four words: "transformation" and "union".
htmlOn August 16, the Awakening Society invited four progressive youth organizations including the Youth China Society to hold a rally in Taoranting Park in the south of Beijing to discuss the development direction of the national salvation movement and the joint struggle. The delegates sat around the pavilion and savored the tea and spoke happily. Everyone recommended Liu Qingyang, who had returned from the Nanyang propaganda to save the country, presided over the symposium. At the beginning, Deng Yingchao reported to the organization of the Awakening Society and the activities over the past year, which attracted the participants quite interested. Next, Zhou Enlai explained the recent proposal of "unity and action together" proposed by the Awakening Society. He said: "We young people should not only unite, but also go to the masses to carry out the workers' and peasants' movement, which plays a key role in the ultimate success or failure of the youth movement."Then, Deng Zhongxia introduced the situation of the Youth Chinese Society. Finally, under the gaze of everyone, Li Dazhao, a professor at Peking University who first introduced Marxist theory and Bolshevism to China, made a speech. Two days later, representatives from five groups including the Awakening Society and the Youth China Society held a liaison preparatory meeting at the Peking University Communication Library and decided to establish an organization called "Renovation United". These groups jointly issued the "Joint Declaration on Renovation" and the "Joint Agreement on Renovation", announcing that they would unite groups that advocate reform in various places, divide the labor and cooperate to implement social transformation.
2. A special letter from a foreign country with deep affection deeply touched Deng Yingchao's heart.
While being imprisoned, although Zhou Enlai was expelled from Nankai University by the principal Zhang Boling, the school director Yan Xiu valued him very much and still fully recommended him to study abroad. He also provided 500 yuan each with the lawyer Liu Chongyou who defended Zhou Enlai to provide him with the expenses for going to Europe. In order to subsidize the living expenses during his travel to Europe, Zhou Enlai also agreed with Tianjin Yishibao to be the newspaper's travel to Europe reporter and write a newsletter for the newspaper. After the preparations were completed, on October 8, 1920, Zhou Enlai and Nankai classmate Li Fujing went to the China-Fa Education Association to apply for a certificate of going to France. In mid-October, they left Tianjin and went to Shanghai to wait for a boat to France.
Seeing that the elder brothers and sisters of the Awakening Society went to a foreign country to seek the golden key to save the country and the people, Deng Yingchao couldn't help feeling lost.How much she yearns to go to France to work and study with Zhou Enlai, Guo Longzhen, Liu Qingyang and others! But her family is poor and she can't raise any travel expenses. She bid farewell to Zhou Enlai, Guo Longzhen and others with envious eyes and regretful mood, wishing them a safe journey and a smooth journey.
When saying goodbye, Deng Yingchao thought about the cold weather in Europe and was afraid that Zhou Enlai would not adapt, so he knitted a sweater to give him, and embroidered a line of small words on the side of the sweater collar: "Give you warmth - Xiaochao." Touching the soft sweater, Zhou Enlai clearly felt the pure and sincere friendship between comrades. He comforted Deng Yingchao and said, "Xiaochao, don't be discouraged. You are still young and you still have opportunities to study in the future. After I arrive in Europe, I will definitely write to you..." The strong Deng Yingchao nodded.
In mid-December, the "Bordeaux" arrived at the port of Marseille in southern France. When they landed, the Student Affairs Officer of the Fa-French Education Association welcomed them and helped them transfer to the train. Zhou Enlai originally planned to stay in France for a short time, but he wanted to transfer to London, England to study in the UK and inspect British social life. Because of a minor illness, he lived in Paris for about half a month.
On January 5, 1921, Zhou Enlai took a boat to cross the English Channel to London, the capital of the United Kingdom. Zhou Enlai chose to study in London, England, with his own ideas. In a letter to his cousin Chen Shizhou, he said: The purpose of studying abroad is to seek practical learning to seek independence, to examine it devoutly in order to understand the truth of the society of that country and solve the various paths, and to think about how to apply it to our nation." Britain is the oldest capitalist country and the most developed capitalist country. As Zhou Enlai said in his letter to his uncle Zhou Yiding: "London is the world's largest capital." "All the world's grand views are almost all, and the world's political and commercial center is only here." "Therefore, London is a microcosm of the world. Studying in London is not just about attending lectures. All the phenomena in the city are subjects to be studied."
Zhou Enlai is slightly different from those who work and study in Europe. He had never worked, and mainly lived on royalties, so he freed up time and energy to examine the comprehensive social situation of European countries, and to examine the workers' and student movements. After Zhou En arrived in France, Yan Xiu sent him money on schedule. Because Zhou Enlai's address often changed, Yan Xiu handed over the money to Li Fujing's father Li Qinxiang, and he sent it to Li Fujing and handed it to Zhou Enlai. Zhou Enlai also squeezed out time to write letters to Deng Yingchao, who taught at Tianjin Daren Girls' School, and asked Ma Qianli, who was in charge of the school's administration, to pass it on to Deng Yingchao.
However, Ma Qianli was careless and threw Zhou Enlai's letter into the drawer and did not pass it on to Deng Yingchao in time, which made Zhou Enlai never receive any reply. He was very anxious and asked a friend to find Ma Qianli to ask about this matter. Ma Qianli said, "Maybe it's here." He flipped through the drawer and found more than 10 unopened letters. Later, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao communicated directly. The letter discusses new ideas and political trends more, and does not see many spring flowers, autumn moons, and separation and grief.
On December 27, 1920, Zhang Shenfu, one of the earliest members of the Beijing Communist Group, arrived in France together. Before the trip, Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao entrusted Zhang Shenfu to develop organizations among Chinese people living in France. When Zhou Enlai learned about the situation of the establishment of the Communist Party in China and the establishment of the Paris Communist Group by Zhang Shenfu, he immediately made a request to join the organization. In the spring of 1921, Zhou Enlai joined the Paris Communist Group with the introduction of Zhang Shenfu and Liu Qingyang.
selected ideology and joined the communist group, and Zhou Enlai was particularly happy. In his letter to friends of Tianjin Juewu Society, he wrote excitedly: "The creed of Juewu Society is naturally not enough and lacks clarity, but to be honest, using communism is enough." "We should believe in the principles of communism and the two major principles of class revolution and proletarian dictatorship, and the means of implementation should be adapted to the times!" "I used to say that 'talking about ideology, my heart beats'. That was the psychology of our side when we began to seek comparison of all ideology after we arrived in Europe, and now I have to have firm confidence."
Later, Zhou Enlai wrote a letter to Deng Yingchao under the signature of "Wu".In the letter, he said: "Capitalism will not be defeated for a day, and his final guarantee will never be eliminated in the melee of imperialism. The European chaos is in full swing, and all we can hope for is Russia." The letter quoted a famous saying from Luxembourg, "If we don't have an army, we cannot revolution" and tried to explain "this is a unique word." At this time, Zhou Enlai realized that if China wants to win the revolution, it must engage in armed struggle.
While traveling to Europe, Zhou Enlai has been in contact with his members of the Juewu Society who stayed in China. One day in the spring of 1923, Deng Yingchao was discussing with Chen Xiaocen and Li Zhishan, a member of the Juewu Society who had just come to Tianjin from Shanghai to establish an organization to study women's problems. Suddenly, a crisp childish voice sounded outside the door. It turned out that Ma Qianli's 6-year-old daughter Ma Cuiguan jumped in and raised a letter in his little hand: "Aunt Deng, your letter, the uncle of the gatekeeper just received it, saying that it was sent from a foreign country, and I asked me to give it to you as soon as possible."
Deng Yingchao looked at the straight handwriting on the envelope and knew that it was sent by Zhou Enlai from Paris, France. She opened the envelope and saw that on the postcard, the grass was full of flowers, and the spring was bright. Three beautiful girls with blond hair were running in the wind. Behind the postcard is the familiar handwriting of Zhou Enlai: "Run towards the free spring! Break the shackles of the past! Run bravely!"
The smart, alert, enthusiastic and lively Deng Yingchao was stunned after reading the postcard. A sweet and passionate emotion suddenly grabbed her and shocked her heart. Li Zhishan and Chen Xiaocen left. In the neat little room, Deng Yingchao looked at the unusual postcard silently, immersed in the memories of her and Zhou Enlai for 4 years... After returning to peace, Deng Yingchao was still a little doubtful. She knew that Zhou Enlai had always claimed that he was celibate, but why has it changed now? She also knew that there was a girl around him who had participated in the May Fourth Movement together, and she always thought they would get better. Now, why did Enlai express that to her?
Deng Yingchao replied. The letter first solicited his opinions on her, Li Zhishan and Chen Xiaocen's goal to establish a progressive women's organization. At the end of the letter, he said that the postcard had been received and asked implicitly: Haven’t you always been celibate? What new ideas are there now?
Zhou Enlai's reply came soon, and he agreed with them organizing a progressive women's group; he turned his pen and answered her questions and expressed his passionate and deep feelings for her. He told her that after he arrived in Europe, he realized that revolution and love were not opposites and that the proposition of "celibacy" had changed. Marx and Jenny, Lenin and Krupskaya are all ideal revolutionary companions. In France, his good friends Cai Hesen and Xiang Jingyu, Li Fuchun and Cai Chang are all in love and get married. Friends also hope that he can choose a like-minded lifelong companion. He said frankly that there was a close friend around him, and he felt that she could not withstand the difficulties and obstacles of the revolution. And he has decided to devote his life to the revolution. Only the brave and strong Xiaochao can share hardships and struggle with him for life! Hope to get her clear answer as soon as possible.
Deng Yingchao was deeply moved by Zhou Enlai's deep love letter. Her long-term pure friendship for him suddenly sublimates into a wonderful and passionate love. Enlai is indeed her ideal lifelong companion. Deng Yingchao wrote to Zhou Enlai and gave a positive reply: We have the same ideas and are in harmony with each other, and we are willing to rely on each other and strive for the ideal of communism for life!
In May of that year, Deng Yingchao published an article in the "Female Star" weekly, writing: "Love between two sexes is originally an open and upright thing, not a dirty and mysterious thing. But its source must be based on pure friendship, the gradual prosperity of beautiful feelings, the closer personality, mutual understanding, the integration of thoughts, and the consistency of outlook on life. In addition, it is necessary to find common "learning" and "karma" between the two sexes to maintain mobile love in order to last forever. This kind of true, pure, kind and beautiful love is the flower of life, a noble product of spirit, and has a good impact on society and the future of mankind." These words can be said to be a portrayal of her and Zhou Enlai's true, pure, kind and beautiful love.
3. Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao have passed down their love and have become a model of the emotional life of the Chinese family.
In late July 1924, with the long whistle, Zhou Enlai bid farewell to the European continent where he had lived for nearly 4 years and embarked on his way back. At this time, Deng Yingchao was appointed as the Women's Minister of the Tianjin Prefectural Committee of the Communist Party of China. Although they had already made up their relationship in the midst of letters, Zhou Enlai had never had the opportunity to meet Deng Yingchao nearly a year after returning to China.
In January 1925, after Gao Junyu attended the Fourth National Congress of the Party in Shanghai, he was entrusted by Zhou Enlai. On his way back to Beijing, he got off the bus in Tianjin and went to the school where Deng Yingchao taught to visit her, and brought her a letter. Gao Junyu's visit played an important role in their union. Therefore, the word Gao Jun was called by Deng Yingchao as the "matchmaker" between her and Zhou Enlai.
htmlIn early August, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao were going to get married in Guangzhou. On the day Deng Yingchao arrived in Guangzhou by train, Zhou Enlai was plagued by official duties and could not pick him up, so he handed over the "task" of picking up the bride to his secretary Chen Geng. Zhou Enlai entered a photo for Chen Geng. When Chen looked at the photo, he was amused: "My Director Zhou, which museum did you take it out?" Zhou En said: "This was given to me by her before I went to France to study. It depends on your eyesight." "Don't worry about my eyesight!" Chen Geng said and left.Chen Geng came to the train station and stared at the ball. Watching every girl walking out of the station, but the passengers who got off the bus had left empty and still didn't see his "destiny master's wife". At this time, Zhou Enlai's residence was full of guests, and everyone was waiting to see the bride. When Chen Gengri saw this situation, he knew that he had taken the bride away and everyone would not let him go, so he came to take offense as the defense.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "I didn't pick it up, so I asked me to pick up the bride! But, I can't blame me, you all take a look!" He held the old photo and turned around and asked everyone to see it, "Let me pick up someone with a photo from a few years ago." ——Director Zhou should blame himself..." Chen Geng was "blaming others" when a smiling girl suddenly walked into the door. Chen Geng met her and was stunned immediately. It was the one in the photo.
It turned out that Deng Yingchao did not see Zhou Enlai whom he had missed for a long time at the train station, so he had to find his residence directly according to the mailing address. Zhou Enlai greeted him and pulled Deng Yingchao to Chen Geng and smiled and said, "Let me introduce it. This is Chen Geng I often mention in my letter. Today I have an urgent matter and ask him to pick you up. Who would have thought that he would actually pick up my bride and be clamoring! "Everyone coaxed him around and said, "Punish him! Director Zhou punished him severely! "Everyone pressed Chen Geng to the ground and kowtowed to Deng Yingchao. After the trouble, Chen Geng said guiltily: "I accept the punishment, so I will punish me to organize the wedding for Director Zhou. "
" That's it. On August 8, 1925, Deng Yingchao, who came to the door, became Zhou Enlai's bride. They formed a revolutionary companion who shared the same heart and virtue, shared weal and woe, and fought side by side. Whether it was a war environment or a peaceful era, Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao were often separated due to work needs, but they were always in love with each other, caring for each other and missing each other.
After the failure of the "August 1" Nanchang Uprising, Zhou Enlai had a high fever of 40°C on the way to retreat. He arranged for the aftermath due to illness, and was overworked and unconscious. He was escorted to Hong Kong for treatment by Nie Rongzhen and others. When he woke up from a coma for the first time, he asked a lesbian who was doing nursing work by his side: "I wonder if there is any news about Deng Yingchao? "The comrade replied, "I'm here in Shanghai. "He asked again: "How did you know?" "This comrade told him that the news was indeed true, and he was very happy after hearing it.
In March 1947, the Kuomintang changed the comprehensive attack on the liberated areas to the key attack on the wings of northern Shaanxi and Shandong, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China voluntarily withdrew from Yan'an. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Ren Bishi and others stayed in northern Shaanxi to command the Liberation War in the northwest and the whole country. Zhou Enlai, who moved to the battlefield in northern Shaanxi, still had time to write a letter to Deng Yingchao on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. When the letter was sent to Deng Yingchao, she was carrying out land reform in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region and lived in the home of a fellow villager with her secretary Chu Ping.Chu Ping joked, "My sister's love letter is here!" Deng Yingchao said humorously after sending her letter happily, "What love letter is a report of the situation. If you don't believe it, read it!" She handed the letter to Chu Ping openly, and Chu Ping pointed to the Mid-Autumn Festival today, saying, "Isn't this a love letter? The signature also specifically stated that it was written in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Old Calendar!"
1954, in order to peacefully resolve the North Korean issue and restore the peace issue in Indochina, Zhou Enlai led a Chinese delegation to attend the Geneva meeting held in Switzerland. At this time, in the courtyard of home in China, the beautiful crabapple flowers were in full bloom. Begonia is Zhou Enlai’s favorite flower. Deng Yingchao quickly pressed a branch and put it in an envelope and sent it with a red leaf as it was originally treated. The letter also reads: "A red leaf is a piece of missed," expressing sincere longing. Zhou Enlai asked someone to bring back the famous peony flowers and roses in Geneva that were suppressed as gifts to return to their loved ones. The flowers and leaves of these two places were later kept in a frame and became a special handicraft, and were also a witness to their deep love.
In 1960, Deng Yingchao had an operation at Union Hospital. It was summer, and Zhou Enlai's foreign affairs activities were arranged so he could not get out of here. He asked the staff around him to keep in touch with the hospital on the day of the operation so that he could know the situation after the operation at any time. One day, he took advantage of the convenience of picking up foreign guests at the airport and visited the hospital. Seeing that his schedule was so tight, Deng Yingchao said, "I still pulled out to visit her. I couldn't bear it, so I advised him to pay attention to rest appropriately and not to think about her.
The characteristic of Zhou Enlai's work is that he can review documents at any time, regardless of time or location. Sometimes he didn't have a table, so he would take a mat for the book, but it was not convenient to write. Later, he found that it would be much more convenient to use a small mat for the pad. From then on, a small mat for the bedroom and the place without a table was placed in a small mat for the convenience of being available at any time. Zhou Enlai sat cross-legged on the bed with a mat for correction of documents, which was really hard. Especially when he was old and seriously ill, he couldn't help feeling tired. In order to improve his working conditions, Deng Yingchao personally designed a side High and low on the other side, suitable for Zhou Enlai to work on the bed. In order not to scatter the documents on the bed and reduce the strength of his left hand to support the documents, he also added a border around the table. This small bed table, which was their love witness, appeared at the exhibition of Zhou Enlai's life and deeds.
In January 1963, Zhou Enlai visited the old writer and bonsai artist Zhou Shoujuan. While talking to Shou Lao, Zhou Enlai picked up Shou Lao's youngest daughter Quanquan, teased her and gave her candy. Seeing this, Zhou Shoujuan said to Zhou En, "Prime Minister, you have been fighting for the Chinese revolution for decades. I heard that there is no child of my own. I will give this to you. "After hearing this, Zhou Enlai laughed loudly: "Zhou Shou Old, thousands of children in China are my children and the successors of the revolutionary cause. In this way, won’t we not distinguish between yours and mine? "
1972, Zhou Enlai got cancer and was not admitted to the hospital until the summer of 1974. During this year and a half, Deng Yingchao visited Zhou Enlai every day, regardless of the weather, regardless of the weather, and sometimes attended medical organization meetings to discuss treatment plans. When surgery was needed, Deng Yingchao always waited outside the operating room until late at night and early morning...
1976, Zhou Enlai passed away. He bid farewell to his relatives who had lived and died for more than half a century. Deng Yingchao's heart was broken. She used Zhou Enlai's death to treat her. The love name is that it presents a wreath made of flowers, with the wreath written on it "Comrade--Xiao Chao Ai Sheng".
As early in the 1950s, Zhou Enlai advocated funeral reforms, changing burial to cremation. Later, he made an appointment with Deng Yingchao, and even the ashes were not preserved after his death.
