Cover News Reporter Wang Guoping
Deng Shichang's legitimate grandson Deng Xiaopeng died in 1964; his only direct great-grandson was "censored" during the "Cultural Revolution" period and suffered from mental illness. He passed away in 1987, leaving no descendants behind.
Now Deng Shichang has two great-granddaughters left, 86-year-old Deng Li ying and 80-year-old Deng Lizhuang.
Dong's great-grandfather Deng Shichang, Deng Liying was frank and knew very little about him at home.
"My grandma has only seen him two or three times. My grandfather was running around in business at that time, and he didn't talk about his great-grandfather's affairs to his family. I also learned a little about his great-grandfather through textbooks," said Deng Liying.
Dalian retired teacher Li Guohui has communicated with Deng Liying for more than 30 years. On the 120th anniversary of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, a reporter found him and asked about Deng Shichang's descendants. Li Guohui said: "Deng Shichang's direct descendants ended here, which is really regrettable."
In this call with the cover news reporter, talking about the descendants of the Deng family, Li Guohui said: "It's really a bit sad."
Deng Shichang's great-grandson Deng Liying, born in 1931.
The grandson Deng Xiaopeng: "Never eat the slave meal of 'three little water'"
1898, Deng Shichang's 24-year-old eldest son Deng Haohong gave birth to a son named Deng Xiaopeng, who was Deng Shichang's grandson.
Deng Xiaopeng graduated from a church school in Shanghai in his early years and later worked in the "Hanyeping Coal and Iron Plant and Mining Company". Hanyeping consists of three parts: Hanyang Iron Plant , Daye Iron Mine and Jiangxi Pingxiang Coal Mine. It is China's first generation of new steel joint enterprise. In 1908, Sheng Xuanhuai requested the Qing government to approve the merger.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, some equipment from Hanyang Iron Plant was dismantled and transported to Chongqing, and Dadukou Iron and Steel Plant was established; some equipment from Pingxiang Coal Mine was transported to Guangxi.
Deng Liying said that at that time, her father was actively running around all walks of life in the name of the descendants of the national hero Deng Shichang to promote the anti-Japanese war.
During the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army bombed Hongkou and other places, and the Deng family's house was blown into rubble. This house has lived here for generations since Deng Shichang, and the relics about Deng Shichang at home have almost disappeared.
After the Japanese army occupied Hanyeping Company, Deng Xiaopeng, who had a feud with Japan, resigned and returned to Shanghai. At that time, his colleagues advised him not to act rashly to avoid accidents.
Deng Xiaopeng is the pillar of his family. After resigning, his family was very difficult and he could only rely on selling his property to live. During this period, Deng Xiaopeng's mother died of illness and her children lost school several times.
Later someone advised Deng Xiaopeng to do some job, and Deng Xiaopeng said: "I will never eat the 'three-point water' slave meal." "Three-point water" was sired to Wang Jingwei at that time.
Deng Xiaopeng's wife Luo is also from Guangdong and is considered a new woman of the times. According to Deng Liying, his mother had participated in the May Fourth Movement.
In 1964, Deng Xiaopeng died in Shanghai.
granddaughter Deng Sue; "I am the only one who can still remember the past"
Deng Shichang also has a granddaughter named Deng Sue. Her identity is quite special and she is the adopted daughter of Deng Haohong's wife Chen.
Previously, Deng Minyang, the great-grandson of Deng Shichang's brother, once wrote an article pointing out that Deng Su'e was not an adopted daughter but Chen's "door girl".
Deng Minyang died of illness in the 1990s.
Deng Liying said that Deng Su'e's descendants have also looked for her because of this.
"At that time, Deng Su'e was married, and her husband was a boss at Shanghai Huashun Wharf. I should call him uncle. Because the other party is more famous and has social status, he is said to be my grandmother's adopted daughter." Deng Liying said.
If this is the case, Deng Su'e should have met Deng Shichang because Chen had met Deng Shichang's "two and three sides".
In addition, Deng Su'e's oral article "The Lefts of Deng Shichang and Related Documents" was published in the second issue of Library Magazine in 1982. The beginning of the article says: "I am the only one who is still alive among the descendants of Deng Gong's direct descendants and can still recall the past."
For this reason, Deng Su'e's oral statement played a very important role in the early research on Deng Shichang, and this article will be included in the index of the Sino-Japanese War history research.
The evaluation at that time was "Introduced Deng Shichang's family background and life, and provided some new information, which was very valuable for studying the formation of patriotic thoughts of this national hero."
In Deng Liying's view, Deng Su'e is grandmother's adopted daughter and her aunt who has met her ancestors.
Deng Su'e died in Shanghai in January 1985. She should have been very young when she followed Chen to the Deng family.
Now Deng Su'e's descendants are still in Shanghai.
, the second issue of Library Magazine, published Deng Su'e's oral article "The Left of Deng Shichang and Related Documents".
The only direct great-grandson: "Schizoretic Mentality"
Deng Xiaopeng and Luo have one son and three daughters, the eldest son Deng Lifeng, and the three daughters are Deng Liying, Deng Liqun and Deng Lizhuang.
Deng Lifeng was born in 1926. He is Deng Shichang's only great-grandson.
Deng Lifeng was admitted to Nanjing Central University before the founding of New China. After studying for a year, he reported to the North again because he yearned for the North. After the founding of New China, Deng Lifeng was assigned to the Department of Soil Chemistry of Beijing Agricultural University due to the adjustment of national departments.
After graduating in 1951, Deng Lifeng stayed at school as an assistant teacher. Soon various movements followed and Deng Lifeng was under scrutiny.
In 1957, the Agricultural University sent someone to send him back to Shanghai and told his parents that he was "he was sick". After leaving 300 yuan, the Agricultural University never had any contact with the Deng family again.
After returning home, Deng Lifeng had obvious mental abnormalities. Deng Xiaopeng took his son to seek medical treatment everywhere and was diagnosed with "schizoidal psychosis". At that time, relatives in Hong Kong were also asked to send medicines to treat mental illness.
Deng Liying said that his brother Deng Lifeng was always scared when he returned home, and he also had to pull up the curtains during the day and kept writing. But sometimes she was very sober. She once took her daughter to Shanghai, and Deng Lifeng also knew how to help take care of her niece.
After Deng Xiaopeng's death in 1964, Deng Lifeng was sent to Shanghai Mental Hospital for recuperation, and the expenses were borne by his three sisters.
Until after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, Deng Liying and his sisters began to write complaint letters to units at all levels and Beijing Agricultural University, but the result was all over.
In 1981, Deng Liying went to Agricultural University in person. At that time, the school’s personnel department said that the department had adjusted the materials and there were no materials.
In 1985, Deng Liying wrote another letter to Deng Yingchao, then chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which was brought to Beijing by a CPPCC leader in Zhangjiakou City.
After the letter was transferred back to the Agricultural University, the Agricultural University asked Deng Liying to go to Beijing for an interview.
It was not until this time that Deng Liying learned about part of his brother's experience at school.
Deng Lifeng was a professor when he was a teaching assistant in the school. The professor was censored during the Cultural Revolution.
Deng Liying proposed to meet the professor. A director of the Agricultural University replied that he "deathed suicide" during the Cultural Revolution. The director also introduced that did review Deng Lifeng and held a critical meeting to ask him to "explain the problem", but the case was not filed, and Deng Lifeng's spirit had problems in the process.
Later, Agricultural University agreed to reply in the form of official documents, and Deng's family proposed to the hospital or sanatorium. The school sent someone to contact the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau to resolve the problem and make a one-time compensation to Deng Lifeng.
But before the final result was reached, Deng Lifeng died of illness on September 1, 1987, and was only 61 years old.
Deng Liying has deep feelings for her brother.
In 1946, Ma Xulun was beaten by a thug in Xiaguan, Nanjing, and was called the "Xiaguan Massacre".
My brother took Deng Liying to participate in the demonstration. She was only 15 years old at that time. It was her brother who took Deng Liying to start to get involved in progressive ideas.
Deng Liying still remembers that once saw her brother. Before leaving, Deng Lifeng suddenly held her hand and said clearly: "It's really hard for you. See me from such a long way."
Deng Liying can't stop crying every time she thinks of this scene. The death of her brother was also a heartache for her life.

The great-granddaughter Deng Liying: the spokesperson and spokesperson of the Deng family
Deng Xiaopeng's three daughters, that is, Deng Shichang's great-granddaughter. Deng Liying, who is only 86 years old and his third sister Deng Lizhuang, who is in his 80s, are still alive. The second son Deng Liqun was born in 1933 and died in 1992.
After the Japanese bombed the Deng family’s house in Hongkou, the Deng family moved to Luwan District, where Deng Lizhuang now lives. Deng Lizhuang is in poor health and has been sick for a long time. He spends half of his time in a nursing home.
Since the 1980s, Deng Liying has actually assumed the role of spokesperson and spokesperson of the Deng family.
On July 7, 1931, Deng Liying was born in Shanghai.
When I was in junior high school, Deng Liying studied in Shanghai Xinben Girls' High School. When I was in high school, I was in Datong University's Affiliated High School, which is now Shanghai Datong Middle School. During
, Deng Liying and his sisters participated in many progressive activities under the influence of their brother Deng Lifeng.
While high school, Deng Liying had a classmate named Zhu Hongdao, who later became her husband.
"At that time, Shanghai had just been liberated, and there were many student movements. He and I were in the student union and organized students to participate together." Deng Liying still remembered the first experience of her husband. "We organized students to post slogans and parades to welcome the People's Liberation Army, and we met him like this."
In 1951, Deng Liying and Zhu Hongdao graduated from high school. The newly established Shenyang Northeastern University of Finance and Economics (now Northeastern University of Finance and Economics ) went to Shanghai to recruit students, so Deng Liying went to apply for the exam.
Regarding this choice, Deng Liying said that, firstly, because he was influenced by his brother, he said that the political atmosphere in the north is relatively strong and he could receive some new education. At the same time, he also wanted to test his level and see what results he could get.
Seeing Deng Liying’s choice, Zhu Hongdao also signed up. In the end, the two passed the exam together.
"My parents disagreed with me going to the Northeast at that time, saying that I, a Shanghai native, could do what I could do when I went to Shenyang? There was nothing there and no relatives there." Deng Liying said, "When I was a child, I always thought Shanghai was good, but because of my brother's encouragement, I finally went to Shenyang."
In 1954, the two graduated from school and were assigned to the Baotou Steel Company, which was just started.
At that time, Baogang had an office in Beijing. Deng Liying and Zhu Hongdao worked in Beijing for three years. After the construction of Baogang, they went to Baotou again. From 1957 to 1971, the two worked in the outer treasure head of the bitter and cold Sri Lanka for 14 years.
In 1971, Deng Liying and her husband Zhu Hongdao were transferred to Hebei Xuanhua Metallurgical and Environmental Protection Equipment Manufacturing Plant to serve as a senior economist.
Deng Liying said that during the Cultural Revolution, the two factions in the Xuanhua factory fought very hard, and the organization transferred 17 people from Baotou to Xuanhua to adjust the contradiction between the two factions.
"When we first came, neither faction welcomed us, and our situation was not good, and it was not until the end of the Cultural Revolution." Deng Liying said that he and her husband had been retiring at the Xuanhua Factory. "I retired in 1988, and I am over fifty."
After retirement, Deng Liying's main job was to preach Deng Shichang's deeds and collect relevant information from his ancestors.
In the 1990s, Deng Liying and his family were together.
Some guesses: Does Deng Shichang still have descendants of his own?
After Deng Liying retired, his living conditions were not good. In addition, he was sick, and he was once in a dilemma of poverty and illness. By 2000, the monthly pension for the two was only 560 yuan.
At the end of 2003, Professor Chen Mingfu, who had taught at the Naval Political College, learned about this situation, immediately sent 2,000 yuan to Deng Liying, except for a little stay at home.
Chen Mingfu wrote a letter to Zhang Xusan, then member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, former deputy commander of the Navy, and political commissar of the Academy of Military Sciences, reflecting the situation.
General Zhang Xusan replied: "The whole country is helping the poor and the needy. Deng Liying is the only seedling of Deng Gong!"
After the appeal of General Zhang Xusan and Chen Mingfu, the relevant naval leaders should be carefully resolved, so Deng Liying's situation improved slightly.
But even in a difficult situation, Deng Liying still did not forget his great-grandfather's will for the country and the people.
When I learned that the reporter was from Sichuan, Deng Liying said: "There is something that makes me feel very guilty.”
After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Deng Liying immediately went to the bank to send 200 yuan to the Red Cross.
Deng Liying said: "You have to tell the fellow villagers in Sichuan that I only have such great ability, 200 yuan is only enough to buy some instant noodles. "
Deng Liying and his wife have a son and a daughter. The daughter is in Xuanhua and the son works in Hangzhou. Five years ago, her husband Zhu Hongdao passed away, and Deng Liying moved to live with her daughter and son-in-law. Her daughter and son-in-law lived in an old building, on the fourth floor, and there was no elevator. Now Deng Liying rarely goes downstairs.
Dalian retired teacher Li Guohui had correspondence with Deng Liying for more than 30 years. On the 120th anniversary of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, a reporter found him and asked about Deng Shichang's descendants. Li Guohui said: "Deng Shichang's direct descendants ended here, which is really regrettable. ”
In this call with the cover news reporter, Li Guohui said: “It’s really a bit sad. "
However, the cover news reporter learned from the Deng Shichang Memorial Hall in Guangzhou that perhaps Deng Shichang still has other direct descendants.
According to this information in the memorial hall, in addition to Deng Xiaopeng and adopted daughter Deng Sue, Deng Haohong, there are two other descendants, named Deng Zhipeng and Deng Suyun. But unfortunately, there are only two names of the two people left on the information, and there is no other information.
According to Guo Yong, the former director of the Deng Shichang Memorial Hall, this information was compiled based on the oral statements of each room of the Deng family and research by relevant experts.
"In the 1960s and 1970s, a lot of information was lost. Even Ms. Deng Liying doesn't know or remember many things. "Guo Yong said, "It's a pity that there is no information related to Deng Zhipeng and Deng Suyun on hand, which is quite regrettable. "
Scholar Sun Jianjun, a scholar of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, said: "I always hope that heroes can have descendants. Regarding Deng Zhipeng and Deng Suyun, I hope it can be a clue that will lead us to find other descendants of Deng Shichang. "
