On November 15, 2019, Sichuan Basin famous real estate salt area Zigong City held a memorial activity. The mourning people at
are very good, and many local leaders attended. In addition, a business person standing in the front row also attracted the attention of many people.
He is a bachelor of mathematics at Harvard University and a doctorate in mathematics at Princeton University. He is a global director partner at McKinsey, and now he is also the new president of Good Future .
Peng Zhuangzhuang has been studying in the United States for a long time. He came to attend this memorial service because the person he mourned was his grandmother.
He said that he came to China to fulfill his grandmother's last wish.
It turns out that her grandmother is named Jiang Zhuyun, the prototype of the protagonist Jiang Xueqin in " Hongyan ", a revolutionary martyr who died in Zhazidong, Chongqing, and a famous "Sister Jiang".
As a revolutionary martyr, his descendants were naturally treated preferentially and had many conveniences in their actions.
, what is the last wish? It has not been fulfilled until 70 years after Jiang Jie's sacrifice? Why didn’t his father fulfill this last wish?
"underground" life
In China, few people have not read "Red Rock", and few people do not know "Sister Jiang".
Although "Red Rock" is a novel written in the 1960s, most of the characters and plots in it have real prototypes.
Jiang Jie, whose real name is "Jiang Zhuyun", was born in a peasant family in Zigong, Sichuan.
Jiang Jie was born in 1920, and that period was a dark era when China faced internal and external troubles.
The political situation is unstable and the warlords are fighting each other. Most people's minds are still bound, and the status of women is still relatively low.
In this era, Jiang Jie's mother showed extraordinary courage.
Jiang Jie's mother is strong-willed, whileJiang Jie's father is idle all day long, soJiang Jie's mother took Jiang Jie, who was only 8 years old, to Chongqing.
When Jiang Jie was 10 years old, she worked with her mother in the sock knitting farm in Chongqing. Because she was young and short, she always stepped on the bench when she worked.
This experience of working in the factory has made Sister Jiang a person who can stick to her beliefs.
days later, in "Zhazidong", Jiang Jie showed an upright and unyielding spirit of facing severe torture and insisting on not surrendering to the Kuomintang, which has a lot to do with this experience in working in the workshop.
Of course, Jiang Jie's mother brought her to Chongqing not to let her work.
After joining the Communist Party of China, she has a new identity - a secret liaison officer.
She usually studies hard as a student, and secretly cooperates with the party organization to complete various tasks. It is this identity that made her know the most important person in her life - Peng Yongwu.
Peng Yongwu is an important member of the Party in Chongqing. He serves as the first member of the Communist Party’s Chongqing Municipal Committee and is responsible for organizing propaganda tasks.
At that time, under the suppression of the Kuomintang, he could not work in his real identity, so he pretended to be an ordinary employee.
In order to cover up his true identity and facilitate his work, in 1943, he organized and arranged for him to "fake marriage" with Jiang Jie.
The young Jiang Zhuyun and the gentle and gentle Peng Yongwu have lived together as a "couple" for a long time, and it is natural to have feelings.
However, Peng Yongwu already has a wife and even a son.
Peng Yongwu's original wife was named Tan Zhenglun, and she later became the adoptive mother of Jiang Jie and Peng Yongwu's children.
Peng Yongwu dared not communicate frequently with his wife in her hometown in order to carry out her work.
plus the Japanese invaders' bombing, ordinary people often change their residences to take refuge, and Peng Yongwu broke off contact with his original wife.
In 1945, Peng Yongwu, who tried every means to contact his wife, decided to officially marry Jiang Jie. In 1946, Jiang Jie gave birth to her only child - Peng Yun .
Before family planning was launched, Chinese people generally had more than three children. If a woman was unwilling to give birth to one, she would be regarded as an alien.
Unexpectedly, when she gave birth to Peng Yun, Sister Jiang underwent sterilization. She was not disliked by the child, but because she was worried that she would not have time to take care of the child.
As an underground party member, she cannot even guarantee the safety of her children. This decision will undoubtedly be correct in the future.
"Zhazidong Zen practice"
Japanese invaders surrendered, and the dispute between the two parties eventually turned into a formal armed conflict, and the lives of Peng Yongwu and Jiang Jie also took a huge turn.
This year, Communist Party achieved key victories in Northeast China, North China and other places, but Chongqing and Southeast China are still controlled by the Kuomintang.
Because the formal army had not arrived yet, the armed struggle organized by underground party members in Chongqing faced a crushing defeat, and Peng Yongwu died.
KMT also brutally hung his head on the city gate to warn others who were trying to carry out an armed riot.
Jiang endured the pain of losing his husband, took over Peng Yongwu's original work, and organized underground work in Chongqing.
But not long after, she was betrayed by the Communist Party members arrested by the Kuomintang and was imprisoned in the "Second Detention Center of the Second Department of Chongqing Headquarters", which is "Zhazidong".
The person who betrayed her was called "Ran Yizhi ". He was a person without faith. After being caught by the famous party, he quickly turned to the Kuomintang.
Ran Yizhi not only leaked all the information he knew, but also personally participated in the arrest of Sister Jiang.
Later, the Kuomintang also awarded him the rank of "Lieutenant Colonel".
When Ran Yizhi was doing well in the Kuomintang, Jiang Jie and other Communists suffered in the "Zhazidong".
Zhazidong was originally a small coal mine in the suburbs of Chongqing, but was later set up as a prison by the Kuomintang.
The living conditions are very poor, but the interrogation station, iron chains, bamboo sticks, chili water, " tiger bench " and other facilities are all available, and the prisoners in Zhazidong have to endure inhuman torture.
It is in Zhazidong that the glory of Jiang Jie's faith is brighter.
The word "心" is above the word "心" and below is a "心". No matter what you experience, you will not change your heart like "心". Jiang Jie is such a person with ambition.
In ancient China, "scholars" could only be men, and women were regarded as weak and short-sighted.
The famous European philosopher Nietzsche also said: "The nature of a man is will, and the nature of a woman is obedience."
In fact, whether will or not depends on the training of experience.
Jiang Jie, as a person who worked alone in Chongqing with her mother, as a Communist Party member who has come into contact with Marxism-Leninism, and as an underground worker with rich experience, her heart has never wavered.
She has this sentence : "Bamboo sticks are made of bamboo . The will of the Communist Party members are made of steel!"
At this time, most parts of Sichuan had been liberated, but Chongqing was still controlled by the Kuomintang.
Seeing that the Communist Party was about to liberate Chongqing, the Guoming Party launched a "big purge" of people detained in prisons such as Zhazidong and Baigongguan.
Jiang Jie was killed like this and died under Gleshan .
Entrust your old rival
Jiang Jie left a letter in prison to Tan Zhuan, the younger brother of Peng Yongwu's original wife, Tan Zhenglun.
The "pen" written by the letter is a bamboo stick ground with chopsticks, the "ink" is ash made of cotton in the clothes, and the paper is straw paper for use in the toilet. There are hundreds of words in the letter
, which states that if she cannot come out of prison, she and Peng Yongwu's child Peng Yun will be sent to Tan Zhenglun to ask her to raise him on her behalf. She also emphasized that the children should never be spoiled, as a rough meal is enough.
The letter also reads her wish for Peng Yun’s future : "I hope to teach you to follow the footsteps of your parents, build a new China as your ambition, and strive for the cause of communist revolution to the end."
Although it was out of work, Jiang Jie took away her husband after all, how could Tan Zhenglun raise her children?
In fact, as early as 1947, before Sister Jiang was arrested, she entrusted Peng Yun to Tan Zhenglun and her younger brother. Tan Zhenglun has been raising children in recent years.
Although he felt sad, Tan Zhenglun also understood the behavior of Peng Yongwu and Jiang Jie.
When she knew that her husband could not be contacted suddenly appeared, but had married another woman, she was also full of resentment, but she was a person who was wise.
When Peng Yongwu's head was cut off by the Kuomintang in 1948, and when the former "love rival" Jiang Zhuyun was tortured in Zhazidong, she knew that the two of them were not for enjoyment.
Jiang Zhuyun was tortured at the foot of Gele Mountain for 16 days, and Tan Zhenglun, who had raised Peng Yun for more than two years, learned the news.
She burst into tears, completely forgiving Sister Jiang, and vowed to raise Peng Yun to be a person who "steps in the footsteps of his parents, takes the determination to build a new China, and strives for the cause of communist revolution to the end."
And Tan Zhenglun and Jiang Jie have the same strong will.
After he married Peng Yongwu, he had a child Peng Bingzhong. When Peng Yongwu was struggling for the revolutionary cause, she raised the child alone.
On the eve of liberation, Tan Zhenglun took Peng Bingzhong and Peng Yundong to hide in hiding, hiding from time to time and time again.
After liberation, Tan Zhenglun worked in a state government agency, but in order to take care of her two children, she resolutely gave up the job and went to the No. 1 nursery in the Municipal Party Committee as a child care staff.
The wishes of two generations
"Mama Tan" is a great person. Under her support and education, her son Peng Bingzhong was admitted to the Department of Physics of Sichuan University, and later served as deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Sichuan University.
Peng Yun was admitted to Harbin Military Engineering College . He passed the postgraduate entrance examination in 1977, and later became a government-sponsored student and went to the United States to study.
Peng Yun is undoubtedly a very outstanding person. After going to the United States, he obtained a master's degree from Wayne State University in Michigan and a doctorate from to from the University of Maryland. Later, he became a tenured professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland.
stayed in the United States and did not return to China. Peng Yun, who is the "son of Sister Jiang", has received a lot of criticism.
In fact, Peng Yun’s choice is understandable. Peng Yun studied computers. In the 1980s and 1990s, the domestic computer field was relatively backward, while the United States was a major center for computer development.
Since domestic funds and hardware facilities have not been able to keep up, the domestic computer teaching model was mainly carried out at the theoretical level.
In order to achieve substantial scientific research progress, theory and practice must be combined.
At that time, only the United States had funds and supporting facilities to support Peng Yun's research, so he stayed in the United States for a long time.
Peng Yun does not intend to settle in the United States for a long time, and he also wanted to return home.
He has always remembered the letters left by his mother in Zhazidong and his last wish: "Treading in the footsteps of his parents, taking the construction of a new China as his ambition, and striving for the cause of communist revolution to the end."
The consistency of academic research made him unable to give up his job in the United States easily, and the relatively backward computer development level in China made it difficult for him to achieve his ambitions when he came to China.
As we get older, the desire to "build a new China and strive for the cause of communist revolution to the end" seems to be far away, but Peng Yun always remembers his mother's forgetting.
"If you never forget it, there will be an echo", Peng Zhuangzhuang became the person who fulfilled his mother's last wish for Peng Yun.
Peng Zhuangzhuang is not inferior to his father at all. After studying in the United States, he won the "Westhouse Award" known as the "Nobel in Middle School", entered the Department of Mathematics at Harvard University, and obtained a doctorate degree from Princep University. After graduation, Peng Zhuangzhuang was determined to return to China to develop and do what Peng Yun did not do, "build a new China and strive for the cause of communist revolution to the end." After graduating from a doctorate, Peng Zhuangzhuang came to Beijing to work as an important member of the Greater China region of the world's largest consulting company "McKinsey".
In 2001, China joined the "World Trade Organization". Business cooperation with countries around the world urgently needed Peng Zhuangzhuang, a "turtle" who not only understood national commerce but also paid attention to China's national interests. Peng Zhuangzhuang began his career in building China. After returning to China, he formulated development strategies for China's Ministry of Commerce, local governments and large enterprises, promoting China's "entering the world stage".
He also met with his uncle Yi Xiaozhun, deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce of China, as a global director of McKinsey, to discuss China's business strategy.
Of course, no one will forget his relationship with Sister Jiang. It is also the grandson of Sister Jiang that he has gained his love.
Peng Zhuangzhuang's wife Zhong Qi is He Lili's granddaughter. As an "old revolutionary", He Lili and Jiang Jie worked in the underground party in Chongqing back then. They were comrades-in-arms who worked together.
After returning to China, Peng Zhuangzhuang often visited He Lili and her lover, so he became familiar with Zhong Qi, and the two gradually developed feelings for each other.
Conclusion
Peng Zhuangzhuang came to Jiang Jie's hometown Zigong City, and was finally able to tell his grandmother loudly: Your last wish, neither my father nor I have forgotten. I am following the footsteps of you and grandpa to build our great country!
