A year ago, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out.
Under the strong demand of the people of the whole country to "unite against Japan", President Jiang and Dong released a large number of political prisoners after a strong struggle in China.
At noon on August 23rd, Chen Duxiu walked out of the door of the Kuomintang Nanjing Model Prison with a pale face and a reserved smile, ending his life behind bars for nearly five years after his fifth arrest.
When Chen Duxiu got out of prison, he wanted to go to Yan 'an. He asked someone to tell the representative of * * * in Nanjing that he had left the Trotskyite organization.
He supported China's anti-Japanese national united front policy and expressed his willingness to work under the leadership of the Party.
He also personally wrote a letter, drafted a seven-point program for resisting Japan, and handed it to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
According to Lohan, a messenger from Chen Duxiu, Bo Gu said after reading Chen Duxiu's letter that there is no big difference between Chen's program and the anti-Japanese line determined by the CPC Central Committee.
Lin, Wang Ruofei and * * * also did a lot of work for the return of Chen Duxiu.
However, under the interference of Wang Ming, Kang Sheng and others, Chen's wish finally came to nothing.
The Trotskyite organizations in Shanghai know that after Chen Duxiu was released from prison, they invited him back to Shanghai several times to rally, but he flatly refused.
As for the bait thrown by the Kuomintang authorities, Chen Duxiu was even more dismissive.
On the day of his release from prison, Chen Duxiu refused to be entertained by the "excellent room" of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Guest House and lived in the home of Fu Sinian, a student from Peking University.
Soon, the Fu family's house was bombed by a Japanese plane, and Chen Duxiu went to live with another Peking University student, Chen Zhongfan.
A month later, the whole country moved to Wuhan, and Chen Duxiu also lived in the home of an old friend in Wuchang.
Unexpectedly, Cai Mengjian, the police chief of Wuchang, often came to "visit" and asked questions in the guise of being caring and attentive, which made Chen Duxiu very bored and disgusted, so he moved to Derunli, Hankou for a temporary stay.
Due to the deterioration of the war situation, the whole country moved from Wuhan to Chongqing, and Chen Duxiu came to the "capital" to stay in the office of Li Zhonggong, director of the Anti-smoking Committee, and then moved to Huang Jiazhong, director of Chuanyuan Company in Shangshiban Street.
Chen Duxiu, who was dragging his sick body behind his family's back, was almost out of breath because of the constant migration and wandering.
The summer heat and high temperature in the mountain city, frequent air raids by Japanese planes and a large number of mosquitoes and flies-like spies made Chen Duxiu uneasy.
Under the repeated invitation and urging of Deng Zhongchun, a friend who lives in Jiangjin, Chen Duxiu had to take the mood of "staying and seeing" and set foot on the journey with his wife again.
After arriving in Jiangjin, Chen Duxiu stepped off the gangplank and told the porter to put his luggage on the roadside temporarily. He raised his head.
The scorching sun made Chen Duxiu dizzy.
Waiting and waiting, a mass of anger can't help coming out of my heart. He said to himself, "Damn it, why didn't Zhong Chun even see a shadow?" Didn't you agree to pick up the boat? "
"Mr. Deng, he ..." Pan Lanzhen looked embarrassed in a semi-old satin cheongsam.
On her round face, a thin layer of sweat has been left.
"Zhongchun won't stand me up for no reason.
Let's follow the map to find it so as to know his address. "
Looking at his 20-year-old wife's dejected appearance, Chen Duxiu could not help comforting Pan Lanzhen with Panasonic's long face.
In Chen Duxiu's mind, the eyes behind Deng Zhongchun's glasses are always filled with sincerity.
He is the great-grandson of Deng, a famous calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. As a fellow countryman of Anhui, he studied in Japan with Chen Duxiu and returned to China to take part in the revolution.
Chen Duxiu and his wife asked as they walked, and finally found No.83, Huangjing Street, Jiangjin Chengguan.
This is the Yannian Hospital opened by Deng Zhongchun.
Into the living room, a middle-aged woman dressed as a nurse hurried to wash her face, give up her seat and make tea, and then hurried to tell Mrs. Deng.
From the nurse's mouth, Chen Duxiu knew that Deng Zhongchun's "standing up" was a temporary accident in the emergency department, and a fire in his heart suddenly vanished.
I thought I had finally found a reliable home, and I was about to meet my old friends who had been away for many years. Chen Duxiu mouth peep out one silk smile.
After a while, the nurse walked slowly into the room awkwardly and said to the guest, "Oh, dear! Mr. Chen, Mrs. Deng said that she was not feeling well and could not receive visitors ... ""No visitors? ! "Chen Duxiu got a fright, zheng big eyes, for a long time.
"Elder sister, didn't you say that we were invited by Teacher Deng?" Pan Lanzhen was embarrassed and stammered, even his voice was too small to hear clearly.
"Well, Mrs. Deng said her house is tight here.
Please find another way out ... well, what do you think of Mr. and Mrs. Chen? I'm afraid you don't know Mrs. Deng's temper ... "
After listening to the nurse's words, Chen Duxiu really seemed to be in an ice cave, drenched by a basin of cold water from the beginning.
Pan Lanzhen bit her lower lip tightly without saying a word.
Mrs. Deng has always rejected Chen Duxiu as a "dangerous person".
As early as June 19 19, when Chen Duxiu was arrested by a group of spies who were ambushing in a rooftop garden in Beijing, Deng Zhongchun downstairs still put leaflets on the coffee table one by one in the billiard room, and no one read them.
If Chen Duxiu, who had not been taken downstairs, had deliberately publicized and notified by secret code, Deng Zhongchun of that day would certainly become another "prey" captured by the gendarmerie.
After learning this, the frightened Mrs. Deng often complained endlessly in front of her husband.
One day two years later, Chen Duxiu mysteriously took a stranger to live in Deng Zhongchun's house.
Deng Zhongchun said hello many times, not only to ensure the accommodation of the two guests, but also to do everything possible to ensure their safety.
Mrs Deng is on tenterhooks all day, which makes her very unhappy.
Later she learned that the stranger's name was Qu Qiubai, and he went to the Soviet Union with Chen Duxiu. ...
Mrs Deng is always worried about these old things.
Today, her husband happened not to be at home. Mrs. Deng was very unhappy and closed the door.
"Good, good! Let's leave now.
I would rather die in the street than send it to Mrs. Deng's fence. "
Chen Duxiu muttered angrily when he left, and his face changed from crimson to livid.
Chen Duxiu no longer cared about the shabby and dirty inn and rented a single room there.
Four days later, I was introduced to another fellow villager Fang.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen Duxiu live in a room in the Guojiagong Pavilion at the East Gate.
After a short rest, Chen Duxiu wrote a letter to his third son, Chen Songnian, who went to Chongqing to avoid chaos.
In his letter to his son, Chen Duxiu gave an emotional overview of Jiangjin's experience.
"... three days here, not only the appliances are gone, but also the house is gone.
Mrs. Fang must have told you when she arrived in Chongqing that she would go back to Chongqing the next day unless she brought a lot of luggage.
If it weren't for Mr. Xiao Yuan's hospitality (Zhong Chun's wife simply closed the door).
I have to go back to Chongqing no matter how tired my luggage is.
Fortunately, the landlord saw Yu's dilemma. The day before yesterday, he moved out of a building to chat and settle down. It's better than staying in an inn. It's too difficult to go out. Luckily, my grandmother didn't come with me ... "
2, unfortunately lost his mother.
Since Chen Duxiu fled, Xie has used the little property left after his property was looted to support Chen Duxiu's first wife, four children and two other grandnephews. There are eight people in the family, old and young, and life is very difficult.
Xie Shi, who is a vegetarian and worships God, is a woman influenced by the old ethics. In her later years, she even regarded whether she could be buried by her son as a crucial "big festival essence."
Therefore, 1937 When Chen Duxiu was released from prison in August, she ignored her old age and infirmity.
Hard to ask Song Nian and his wife to accompany her, running all the way, from home to Chongqing and Jiangjin, all the way weather-beaten, ready for hardship.
Chen Duxiu had an argument with her sister who came to attend the funeral.
According to the elder sister, it is inevitable to wear hemp, mourning clothes, guard the mourning hall and act according to filial piety.
And Chen Duxiu thinks there is no need to stick to these red tape which is purely superstitious in his view.
Simply carry out some funeral ceremonies, he said, "What good is it for those who are born unworthy, even if they read the eighteen chapters of the Book of Filial Piety?" Chen Duxiu's words annoyed the impatient elder sister.
After the eldest sister grabbed the white word "unfilial".
After persuasion and persuasion by some friends such as Zhong Chun, Chen Duxiu had to listen to her sister's opinion.
This is the first time in Chen Duxiu's life that he acted against his will. In the past, he was uncompromising and maverick.
You can also see the deep affection between him and mother Xie.
The elder sister accused Chen Duxiu of being "unfilial", which was actually angry words.
She clearly knew that for a long time before her adoptive mother died, every meal was personally prepared by Chen Duxiu and delivered to her adoptive mother.
As for carrying water to send medicine, Chen Duxiu is as meticulous as his wife Lanzhen.
At the grand funeral, Chen Duxiu was dressed in linen, his legs bent, kneeling in front of the coffin, burning a big pile of paper money, and his face was full of tears.
Step 3 move to the stone wall courtyard
After Xie died, his son Song Nian and his family moved to the school.
The room is more spacious, involving less housework, and Chen Duxiu's heart is a little calmer. He intends to start sorting out the words in prison and occasionally write some articles on current affairs.
Naturally, communication with friends is indispensable and can't be broken. He is eager to understand the development and changes of the war and the current situation.
However, the good times did not last long.
One day in July, I criticized Mrs. Deng's unkind remarks.
Pan Lanzhen swallowed for a long time in the bedroom.
Chen Duxiu repeatedly asked, and she realized that Mrs. Deng accused them of being "parasites".
Obviously, it is impossible to stay in such an embarrassing situation.
After Chen Duxiu's earnest and resolute request.
Deng Zhongchun had to agree with Chen Duxiu to move out.
Deng Zhongchun helped Chen Duxiu move to Heshan Ping, 30 miles away from the city, through the relationship between Deng, then the president of No.9 Middle School, and Deng, a famous gentleman in Jiangjin.
I live in Shijia Courtyard of Shi Huaiqing, president of Jiangjin No.1 Middle School.
But there were so many children there that they chattered like mountain sparrows all day. Chen Duxiu soon moved to the stone wall compound two miles away from Shi Jia compound, the former residence of Yang Lucheng, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty.
Step 4 focus on literature
On a hot summer day, Chen Duxiu only wore a shorts vest, but he was still sweating. A towel to wipe the sweat at the table was always wet.
At night, buzzing mosquitoes fly in the ear.
Chen Duxiu had to light a pungent mosquito-repellent incense made of sawdust mixed powder and kept writing in the smoke.
In the dead of winter, the study was drafty all around, and Chen Duxiu was frozen stiff, his fingers were numb with cold, and he couldn't hold the pen steadily.
Late at night, Pan Lanzhen also learned to look like a farmer, and got Chen Duxiu an outer cover with a "fire cage" filled with clay pots and charcoal, so that he could dry his hands and feet.
Why is there no winter and summer in husband's writing? Is "writing a book for fanfan" really like he laughed at himself? In fact, wives also know that only talking is a good way for husbands to solve loneliness.
5. passed away tragically
After being released from prison, the couple drifted from place to place and lived under the fence, but the wife didn't complain and only took care of her husband. It was really considerate.
Especially in the first few days in Jiangjin, I lived with Chen Duxiu IV.
Because of Lanzhen's filial piety and diligence, she won the respect and love of the whole family in Chen Duxiu.
Song Nian's generation respected her as a mother, Song Nian's second generation called her second grandmother, and Chen Duxiu's mother thanked her for calling her second wife.
At this point, Chen Duxiu choked out his heartfelt words: "Lanzhen, ... I am dead. After I die, you must be independent in everything, and you must stand on your own feet in life.
Remember, independence, self-reliance ... "A thrill choked him.
"Sir ..." LanZhen caressed her husband's forehead, let out a cry pathetically, and then burst into tears.
Chen Duxiu gasped. Suddenly, his eyes looked straight at the roof and sighed: "My primary school, primary school.
I only noticed the word "throw", but I, will throw, throw it away ... "A turbid eye slowly dripped from the corner of Chen Duxiu's eye.
Since then, he has been in a coma, talking nonsense, talking nonsense and being in a coma.
1942 At 9: 40 pm on May 27th, this "ideological star" who is famous for founding New Youth magazine, advocating "scientific democracy", leading the May 4th Movement and participating in the creation of China was in that desolate place.
At the age of 63, he left the life he had always cared about and loved with great sadness.
At that time, only his wife Lan Zhen, his son Song Nian and his wife, his granddaughters Chang Wei and Chang Yi, and his grandnephews Chang Wen and He Zhiyu of Peking University Student Union were at his bedside.
And visiting Bao Huiseng.
June 1 June/9421day, at the foot of the top mountain outside Daximen, Jiangjin, a tomb with its back against the green hills and facing the Yangtze River rose from the ground.
A generation of heroes completed his controversial life in this cold wind and rain.
1947, according to Chen Duxiu's wishes, Chen Songnian transported his coffin back to his hometown Anqing and buried it with his original wife in Yejiachong, Shili Township, suburb.
