In 1955, the Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, Beijing was brightly lit, and Chen Yi, , , and nine other generals who made outstanding contributions to the founding of the Republic stood in front of Chairman Mao. After that, Chairman Mao smiled and personally issued a letter of order to them. Since then, Chen Yi has become one of the "Top Ten Marshals" in our country.
"Marson" represents the highest military rank of the Chinese People's Liberation Army at that time. After the rank award ceremony, newspapers at home and abroad listed the names and photos of ten marshals including Chen Yi in the headline section. For a moment, Chen Yi and others became the focus of attention of various countries and the focus of the world.
Chen Yi was already in a high position before being awarded the military rank and was Vice Premier of the State Council. After being awarded the rank of marshal, his status was even more extraordinary. What is even more enviable is that Chen Yi also has a happy family, with children and children, living a happy life with a successful career and a happy family.
However, what is little known is that Hu Lanqi, who had made a lifelong appointment with Chen Yi, did not live a very good life. Hu Lanqi was once the first female major general of the Kuomintang. Because of her identity, she has been criticized.
When she was young, Chen Yi was handsome and handsome
What the world doesn’t know is that Hu Lanqi is actually a secret member of the Communist Party. In the era of war, she has been using the special identity of a female major general of the Kuomintang to work for the Communist Party. However, after the victory of the War of Liberation, almost all witnesses who can confirm her identity died in the war, so Hu Lanqi has been living a life that has been criticized by the world.
Later, Chen Yi felt very guilty when he learned about this and wanted to see Hu Lanqi, but Hu Lanqi kept avoiding him.
Once upon a time, Chen Yi and Hu Lanqi had engaged in a engagement with each other and had made an appointment to be together for the rest of their lives, but unexpectedly, things were unpredictable, Chen Yi and Hu Lanqi still got separated. When they learned that Chen Yi married another person and the bride was not her, Hu Lanqi was very collapsed for a while and even made a decision to avoid Chen Yi. It can be seen that she was really hurt by Chen Yi...
During the turbulent revolutionary years, there were many couples who were in love, who sacrificed their small family and made a big country for various reasons, but failed to finally get together. Chen Yi and Hu Lanqi are a typical example.
So, why didn’t Chen Yi, who had married Hu Lanqi, keep his promise and be with her? Below, the author will tell you a little-known secret story...
Hu Lanqi, the first female major general of the Kuomintang,
, met Chen Yi,
Hu Lanqi's life experience is very appropriate to summarize in the word "legend". She came from a noble family and had a noble status. Her distant ancestor was the founding minister of the Ming Dynasty Hu Dahai , and her father was the old man of Pao Ge (Pao Ge refers to Sichuan Ge Laohui , a gang organization in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China), and has been secretly engaged in anti-Qing and restoring Ming .
Influenced by family tradition, Hu Lanqi has a strong sense of justice since childhood and is very sensitive to matters of family and country hatred.
When foreign invaders invaded Chinese territory, frequently clamored at the Chinese and bullied the Chinese, Hu Lanqi did not act as a turtle, but stood up and participated in various anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movements such as the May Fourth Movement. He was an ambitious man who actively participated in the revolutionary movement.
However, Hu Lanqi's father was feudal and for the sake of family interests, he betrothed her to his cousin Yang Guzhi not long after Hu Lanqi graduated.
Due to his father's intimidation, Hu Lanqi had to choose to marry and marry Yang Guzhi. Yang Guzhi is a machismo who believes that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside, and women should take care of their husbands and children at home. Yang Guzhi's thoughts are contrary to Hu Lanqi's thoughts. Hu Lanqi is influenced by the new ideas and yearns for the love of equality between men and women.
After marrying Yang Gu, Hu Lanqi was depressed all day long. In order to escape from the cage of marriage and escape from Yang Guzhi, she came to Ba County, southern Sichuan without telling her family, where she worked as a teacher in a girls' school.
However, Yang Guzhi saw that Hu Lanqi did not love him, so he simply stopped forcing him. In 1923, under the witness of his friends, he terminated his marriage with Hu Lanqi.
Hu Lanqi has an extraordinary background and always shows a sense of elegance when communicating with others. In addition, because of her beautiful appearance, she has never stopped her love luck after the divorce.
The most commendable thing is that Sichuan warlord Yang Sen also expressed his love to Hu Lanqi and wanted to marry Hu Lanqi home as his little wife. However, after Hu Lanqi learned about this, he snorted disdainfully and refused directly.
Yang Sen
In order to pursue the revolution, Hu Lanqi has never stopped learning and was admitted to the Southern Sichuan Normal School, continued to participate in various revolutionary movements, and even organized the Sichuan Women's Federation with friends, becoming a representative of Sichuan women, representing Sichuan to attend conferences across the country. At the beginning, Chen Yi naturally did not dare to think too much about such an excellent revolutionary woman, but just treated Hu Lanqi as a close friend.
In fact, before meeting Chen Yi, Hu Lanqi had already married an officer named Chen Mengyun . At that time, Hu Lanqi only treated Chen Yi as a friend, but he didn't know when this friendship changed quality and gradually developed in the direction of love...
Chen Mengyun was the deputy director of the Political Department of the Third Division of the Sichuan Army, with a high position and a powerful position. At that time, Chen Yi was just a young man who had just returned from working part-time in France for a few years.
Speaking of Hu Lanqi and Chen Yi's acquaintance, we have to start with Chen Yi returning to Chongqing in France in 1923. Chen Yi has a nickname of "poet", a romantic talent among the "Top Ten Marshals". He has been interested in literature since he was a child.
After returning to Chongqing, Chen Yi served as the chief editor of "New Shu Daily". His writing style was so sarcastic that he criticized many warlords and celebrities. While offending many people, it also made Hu Lanqi, who read newspapers every day, appreciate him.
Hu Lanqi believes that the articles written by Chen Yi are very good at her taste, and his articles express all the emotions she wants to express in her heart. She must get to know such a talented man.
So, Hu Lanqi directly found the newspaper office and called for a name to see Chen Yi. After that, the two became close friends who could talk about everything.
1926, Hu Lanqi was admitted to the Wuhan Central Military Academy (formerly the former Whampoa Military Academy , which was originally in Guangzhou). The following year, Chen Yi was appointed as the secretary of the Communist Party Committee of the Wuhan Central Military Academy. However, because Chen Yi's Communist Party identity was to be hidden, his position in the school was the Warrant Officer document of the school's political department.
During this period, Hu Lanqi had not joined the party, but Chen Yi had already joined the party and gradually began to take steps towards the core level of Communist Party power. At that time, Chen Yi highly recognized Hu Lanqi and felt that Hu Lanqi's revolutionary concept was in line with the Communist Party's philosophy. In order to get Hu Lanqi to join the party, he also specially found the head of the party group of the girls' team. However, since Hu Lanqi's husband was from the Sichuan Army and had problems with his identity, he still ended in vain.
1927 revolution failed, Hu Lanqi and her husband Chen Mengyun's revolutionary philosophy gradually developed in two directions. When the two no longer have like-mindedness, their common words were reduced, and their relationship gradually faded as time passed.
In the end, Hu Lanqi and Chen Mengyun chose to divorce.
The first female major general of the Kuomintang made a marriage contract with Chen Yi
1930, Hu Lanqi officially joined the party. Shortly after joining the party, with the help of the organization, Hu Lanqi came to Germany to study. The fascist forces in Germany were very rampant at that time. In order to protect his compatriots studying in Germany, Hu Lanqi founded the "Overseas Chinese and Imperialist Alliance" and served as the chairman of the alliance.
Later, Hitler came to power as the new German head of state. Hu Lanqi was arrested and imprisoned by the German police for his identity and speech issues, and was not released until three months later.
At that time, Nazism prevailed in Germany. In order to rule the German people's ideas, Hitler expelled revolutionary patriots from many countries from Germany. Hu Lanqi was one of the expelled members. She was expelled by Germany and went to France, the Soviet Union, and Hong Kong successively, and assisted in organizing and doing united front work abroad.
He Xiangning
1936, Hu Lanqi returned to China and served as the secretary of He Xiangning (one of the main founders of the Democratic League, Mrs. Liao Zhongkai), after the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, she volunteered to leave He Xiangning and formed the Shanghai Labor Women's Battlefield Service Team, and went to the front line to carry out rescue and education work for the anti-Japanese soldiers in the rear.
Before leaving He Xiangning, He Xiangning asked her: "It will be safer to stay by my side, so why do you have to go to the front line?"
Hu Lanqi said firmly: "This is my revolutionary ideal. I also want to participate in the war. I am no worse than any man. Men can go to the battlefield, and we women can go to the battlefield!"
In this way, Hu Lanqi brought the female soldiers of the service regiment to the front line and ran to various war zones to do rescue and education work.
1938, the service team led by Hu Lanqi came to Nanchang . At that time, Nanchang was forming the New Fourth Army, and Chen Yi was the core figure in leading the New Fourth Army.
At that time, after learning that Hu Lanqi's service group had arrived, the party organization decided to establish a party branch within the service group. The branch was directly led by Chen Yi and did not have any relationship with other local parties. It was considered a secret underground organization.
It should be noted that when Hu Lanqi first joined the party, in order to keep it confidential, the organization had not issued a party certificate for Hu Lanqi, so Hu Lanqi's party membership has always been a problem.
In order to solve Hu Lanqi's party membership problem, Chen Yi specially wrote a letter to Deng Yingchao and Cai Chang. After that, the letter was transferred from Deng Yingchao to Wang Ming (Secretary of the Yangtze River Bureau of the Communist Party of China).
Wang Ming learned about Hu Lanqi's situation and thought it through carefully, feeling that Hu Lanqi had no need to show that she had joined the Communist Party. She could continue to be an underground party member, activities within the Kuomintang, and contribute to the organization.
"We carefully studied the letter written by Chen Yi. The organization believes that it is better for you to continue to do activities outside. Don't have any horizontal contact with the organization. Just contact me directly if you have any questions in the future."
In this way, Hu Lanqi failed to solve the problem of party membership, but continued to work as an underground party member.

However, the organization's decision made Chen Yi and Hu Lanqi the bitter couple. After meeting again, Chen Yi and Hu Lanqi talked about a lot of past events. After Chen Yi learned that Hu Lanqi had long been divorced, he was overjoyed and expressed his feelings to Hu Lanqi, breaking the ambiguous window between the two, and setting a long-term alliance.
However, when Chen Yi told the news about it, he was opposed by his parents and leaders.
In order to do a good job in Hu Lanqi's ideological work, Xiang Ying personally found Hu Lanqi and talked: "If you two get married, your identity will be exposed. It is better for you to continue to stay in the Kuomintang to do things. It is better to give up your family for everyone. For our revolutionary ideals, you cannot be impulsive..."
According to the historical records of "The Big Name of the Republic of China" published by China Friendship Publishing House, we can be reluctant to part with the two. A glimpse:
"Chen Yi wrote to Hu Lanqi and said: Ma Jie's body is a heroic sacrifice; calm dedication is a silent sacrifice. For the sake of the revolution, we will eat this bitter bar. If we cannot unite within three years, we will be free and will not interfere with each other."
For the sake of the revolution, Hu Lanqi and Chen Yi had to bear the pain of separation and made a "three-year agreement", agreeing that if three years have passed, they will be free and will not interfere with each other.
Chen Yi got married but it was not her. She chose to live alone and live a lifetime
1939, Hu Lanqi was appointed as the major general instructor of the Battlefield Party and Government Committee of the Military Commission of the National Government, becoming the first female major general in the Kuomintang.
For a moment, Hu Lanqi became a hot politician in the Kuomintang, and also attracted the pursuit of many handsome talents.
However, Hu Lanqi had already engaged to Chen Yi during that period. She devoted herself to Chen Yi and never considered her lifelong affairs at all. She refused all those who pursue her.
1940, the "three-year agreement" agreed by Hu Lanqi and Chen Yi was about to come. During this period, Hu Lanqi was still a female major general officer of the Kuomintang, and Chen Yi was still a Communist officer. From the outside, their identities were like ice and fire, which were incompatible at all, and it was impossible to be together at all.
Chen Yi, who gave up, so he found another good marriage and married Zhang Qian.
Hu Lanqi was heartbroken after learning about this incident and was sad for several months before she got out of the broken heart.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hu Lanqi never met Chen Yi in order to avoid suspicion. Chen Yi was silently helping her behind her back out of guilt, and even wrote her an introduction letter to ask her to work at Beijing Institute of Technology .
In 1978, Hu Lanqi rejoined the party. After the rest of her life, she has been unmarried and chose to live alone for the rest of her life. She died peacefully in Chengdu on December 13, 1994 at the age of 93.
In the revolutionary era, many party members who work underground cannot be smooth and are with the people they like. Their spirit of sacrificing themselves to achieve the overall situation is admirable. They are unknown guides on the revolutionary road. They are secret and great. Let us pay tribute to them!
