1976 65438+1On October 8th, a great heart stopped beating, a superstar fell on the land of China, and Zhou Enlai, a good prime minister of the people, died at the age of 78.
After the death of Premier Zhou Enlai, as the niece that Premier Zhou and Deng were most concerned about, she often took time out to visit his seventh mother Deng in the West Flower Hall.
One day, as usual, Zhou Bingde didn't go home after work, and went to the West Flower Hall to visit his seventh mother. When she walked into the bedroom of Qi Niang in the West Flower Hall, she found that Qi Niang was thinking with a black wallet.
At this time, Deng also found someone coming in. He looked up, and it was Bingde. He said, "Bing De, come and sit next to me."
Say that finish, Deng stretched out his hands and sat down beside him, saying nothing, just looking at her quietly.
After a while, Deng Xian said, "Bingde, this small black wallet is your uncle's relic. I want to give it to you as a souvenir! "
Zhou Bingde nodded, solemnly took my uncle's used wallet, opened it, only to find that there was a yellow photo inside. Then, she gently pulled out this yellow photo, looked at the back and found that there was the words "portrait of dad" written by her uncle on the back.
A father who doesn't understand the revolutionary truth cares about his revolutionary son.
In life, we often say that maternal love is priceless, wider and deeper than the sea, but rarely mention paternal love. This is because in traditional China families, mothers usually spend more time with their children, while fathers need to go out to make a living, so they spend less time with their children.
In this way, it will give us an illusion. My father doesn't seem to love us very much. If he wants to love us, why not stay with us?
But is this really the case? Next, let's see what Zhou Enlai's father did.
My grandfather Zhou was a magistrate of a county, and my father Zhou Yineng was the second son in the family. From the perspective of feudal society, this is a serious official second generation. Unfortunately, Zhou's father was an honest official and left no property to his children.
Although Master Zhou leads a clean life, he is still willing to spend money for the future training of his sons. He spent a lot of money to get Zhou Yineng a position in charge of the yamen, then struck while the iron was hot and told his son a marriage. This woman is the daughter of Wan Qingxuan, the magistrate of Huai 'an. Because she ranks twelfth in the family, everyone calls her Aunt Wan.
In the second year after marrying Zhou Yineng, Aunt Wan gave birth. Zhou Yi was very happy. She named her son "Daluan", which means a bird that can fly very high.
But at this moment, his younger brother Zhou Yigan became ill, and he was very ill. According to some customs at that time, he had to be "happy" to turn over the patient. Zhou Yineng is a kind and kind person, so he adopted his eldest son "Da Luan" to his younger brother to make him recover soon.
However, the joy of adopting a stepson failed to bring Zhou Yigan a turn for the better. Two months later, Zhou Yi left. For master Zhou Qikui, it is the white-haired people who send the black-haired people! Therefore, Zhou died not long after.
After Zhou's father died, the family's life was completely impoverished on Monday. In order to make a living, Zhou Yineng had to go out to work, but because he was honest and inarticulate. I have done a lot of work, but my income is meager. I earn 30 yuan at most a month. Eat for your own use, and there is not much money to send home.
In my hometown, Aunt Twelve raised three children by herself, and at the same time managed the extended family of Zhou family. Under the heavy pressure, her body soon could not bear it.
1907, Aunt Wan is seriously ill. Zhou Yi got the news and hurried home, only to find Aunt Wan's already cold body. He didn't see his wife for the last time.
Later, Aunt Wan's family asked for a big funeral. They think that their daughter suffered in the Zhou family when she was alive and should do the same after her death. If it's not big, she won't be buried.
And where does Zhouyi have the money to do the funeral? So he had to temporarily park Aunt Wan's coffin in a temple in Qingjiangpu. Come back for burial when he has money.
However, his income can't even support his three sons, and he can't transport Aunt Wan's coffin back to his hometown in Huai 'an for burial, so he has to drag it on year after year. It was not until 1935, more than 20 years after Aunt Wan's death, that Zhou Yineng gave everything and buried Aunt Wan.
In the past twenty years, apart from burying his twelfth aunt, Zhou Yineng's biggest concern is his revolutionary eldest son Zhou Enlai.
Since Zhou Enlai joined the producer of * * *, Zhou Yineng's heart can no longer be calm. He doesn't know much about revolution. But he believed in his son's vision and choice.
Only the words "offering a reward" for Zhou Enlai's head kept appearing in newspapers, which made him more worried about his son's safety.
When the revolutionary situation was at a low ebb and Zhou Enlai was in danger, Zhou Yi could run to his son many times to help him do some work and cover his son.
1927, after Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12th" coup in Shanghai, the situation in Shanghai suddenly changed. * * * People in party member are arrested and killed at any time.
Zhou Yineng went to Shanghai, stayed with his son Zhou Enlai, and helped Zhou Enlai to do some secret communication and liaison work. Until late May, Zhou Enlai left Shanghai for Wuhan, and Zhou Yineng also returned to Jilin.
Around 1930, when Zhou Enlai insisted on underground struggle in Shanghai, Zhou Yineng was uneasy and went to Shanghai again in February of 193 1.
After Gu Hexian rebelled one after another, his situation became very sinister and he had to hide for the time being. In the meantime, Zhou Yineng has been staying in Shanghai, doing some liaison work for Zhou Enlai and trying his best to cover Zhou Enlai.
Later, the Red Army began the Long March, and Zhou Yi was very worried about his son's safety. It was not until he read in the newspaper that the Red Army held a Zunyi meeting on the Long March Road, and Zhou Enlai was a member of the three-person leading group of the Red Army that he was relieved.
Almost every time, the situation is the same. As long as Zhou Yi can know that his son is safe now, he can rest assured that he will go back to the North and endure for some time.
This is Zhou Yineng's concern and love for his son as a father. Therefore, the father's love can be so profound.
Zhou Enlai and Zhou Yi can have deep feelings for their father and son.
Zhou Yi can care and cherish his son very much, and as a son of man, Zhou Enlai is also very concerned and filial to his father!
After the Anti-Japanese War began, Zhou Enlai gained an open identity in Wu Hanyou, and his life was relatively stable.
In 65438 10, Zhou Enlai wrote to Tianjin and invited his father to live with him in Wuhan. After receiving the letter, Zhou Yi can go south by car immediately without hesitation.
It took more than four years from 1938 to 1942, which is probably the longest time that Zhou Yi was able to get along with his eldest son Zhou Enlai.
Although they later moved from Wuhan to Chongqing, and life in Hongyan Village was also very hard, Zhou Yi was glad to see his son busy with the revolutionary cause, but he was safe every day.
On the day Zhou Yi arrived in Wuhan, Zhou Enlai was attending the second Council meeting of the All-China Anti-Enemy Association of Literary and Art Circles. When it was his turn to speak, Zhou Enlai first said that he was very happy to have dinner with so many scholars today, and everyone could work together in such an atmosphere of Qi Xin's cooperation. ......
At the end of the speech, Zhou Enlai had tears in his eyes. He said to all the literary and art workers, "I'm sorry to have to accompany you tonight. My old father arrived in Hankou tonight 10. As a son, I must see him now. "
After a pause, Zhou Enlai added, "The aggression of the brutal enemy caused losses to our country and forced my old father to come to the south. The clutch of life and death comes from the aggression of violent enemies. At the same time, the separation of life and death has also strengthened our unity! I'm leaving Zhou Enlai. "
After listening to Zhou Enlai's speech, the participants were moved by the sincere feelings between their father and son. At the same time, in order to celebrate the reunion of Zhou Enlai and his father, the voice just fell and applause rang like a flood. Amid applause, Zhou Enlai went downstairs to see his father.
Zhou Yineng, who followed Zhou Enlai to Chongqing, was lonely in his later years.
And Deng are always busy, especially. In order to cope with the constant friction in the cooperation between the two countries and do a good job in the United front work, he works day and night and only sleeps for a few hours every day. Even if the enemy plane attacked and hid in the bomb shelter, he would read the documents and telegrams intently by the lantern hung by the adjutant.
While Zhou Yi can often sit in the shadow of a lamp, Zhou Enlai has no time or mood to chat with his father. Of course, Zhou Enlai also knew his father's loneliness, and he felt uneasy.
One afternoon, Zhouyi was sitting alone in a small orchard in Hongyan village, holding a Tang poem in his hand.
"Hello, Master Zhou!" It is a young girl who can say hello to Zhou Yi. Instead of rushing out to do business like others, she walked and chatted with the old man.
Zhou Yi's eyes are bright and her face is full of spring breeze. He is really happy. If his stomach is stuffy, it will be like a flood. He recited Tang poems with the girl, and his long-lost smile hung on his brow.
It's almost noon, and Zhou Yineng is still in Tan Xing: "Girl, I'm so glad you talked to me all morning. I haven't asked your name yet?"
"My name is, working beside Zhou Fuzong. I'm in poor health these two days. Let me go to Hongyan village to rest for two days. Before leaving, Vice President Zhou called me and said, Xiao Zhang, I have something personal to trouble you. Busy at work, no time to accompany my father. He must be bored by himself. If you go to Hongyan Village, help me spend more time with my father if my health permits. "
When he heard that his son entrusted the girl to come, Zhou Yi immediately gave birth to many feelings: "It's not easy to think of me when Ryan is so busy. I feel guilty that I, as a father, have failed to fulfill my responsibility to him. He is too busy to come to see me, and I won't blame him. "
"Of course, you are not an outsider, I also give you a real word. Well, my son is fine, but he won't let me drink. I can't accept it. He said that my blood pressure is high, and I am afraid that I will live alone, fall down after drinking too much, or get lost down the mountain and let the spy take it away. "
Zhou Yineng paused and continued: "If there is no wine, how can I live after wandering outside for so many years?" So I don't think I can do without drinking. However, this is also my sincere words to you. When you go back to him, don't mention drinking, just give me a message: I'm fine, tell him not to worry ... "
After learning of his father's death
From June 65438 to June 0942, Zhou Enlai suddenly felt unwell, was diagnosed as a small intestinal hernia by a doctor, and had to be hospitalized for surgery. Everyone is afraid that Master Zhou will be in a hurry and dare not tell him.
On July 5, Zhou Yineng suddenly had a high fever and was admitted to another hospital. Deng made a special trip to wait on him. In the face of his daughter-in-law, all Zhou Yi can ask repeatedly is one sentence: "Why didn't my son come to see me?"
At first, Deng didn't tell the news that his father-in-law was ill. She didn't go to see Zhou Enlai on the 6th, and stayed at her father-in-law's house to take care of her. I went to the hospital to see the office and brought back a letter to Deng. The main idea of the letter was:
After receiving this letter, Deng thought that she was still worried about her father's birthday in hospital, and Zhou Yineng's condition deteriorated so quickly that she decided not to hide it. So, he wrote a letter to Ryan, telling Zhou Enlai that his father had malaria and was admitted to the hospital, and she took care of him, so as to reassure Ryan.
However, Zhou Yineng's father still does not suffer from this disease. 10 July, Zhou Yineng passed away. On this day, Deng received another letter. After reading the letter, Deng, who has always been strong, couldn't help crying.
Comrade Dong took the letter to the effect that:
I am still worried about my father's illness. I hope you can tell him to take good care of it. I also hope my father can recover soon here. Dad likes to drink, and it is inevitable that his body will be damaged internally. Therefore, he should tell the doctor that he can't simply treat malaria, but should clear fire, eliminate accumulated food, have a light diet and eat something that is both digestible and nutritious.
Dong sighed, with tears in his eyes, and discussed with everyone that he had always been filial to his father and attached great importance to his feelings, such as letting him know that the old man had passed away and his spirit was stimulated, which was not good for his illness.
So everyone agreed not to tell him the news of his father's death until he was discharged from the hospital. The old man's coffin was hung in Hongyan ditch until Ryan came back.
It is not easy to cheat the careful Zhou Enlai. The news of Zhou's father's death was only concealed for three days. When Zhou Enlai learned that his father had died in the hospital for three days, he suddenly turned pale and sat on the ground crying, and decided to leave the hospital immediately.
Then, with everyone's help, he returned to the office. He was in tears and couldn't control his sadness. He loudly questioned the director of the office about money, why didn't you inform him! Money dare not answer.
Zhou Enlai was furious and asked Deng, "The old man is dead. Why didn't you tell me such a big thing? You don't know me for so many years? " Deng asked until he burst into tears and was speechless.
No one could convince him that night. Zhou Enlai insisted on sitting alone in the mourning hall, keeping a vigil for his father until the dawn of the east and the cock crowed at dawn. ...
In the 31st year of the Republic of China (AD 1942), in the advertisement column of Xinhua Daily published in Chongqing, there was an obituary published by Zhou Enlai for his father's death. The full text is as follows:
It is said that Zhou Enlai is the only person who has published an obituary for his father's death in the newspaper so far.
After the news of Zhou Enlai's father's funeral was published in the newspaper, Chiang Kai-shek and other important officials of the Kuomintang government sent a letter of condolence to Hongyan Village.
When Zhou Enlai sent a telegram to Chairman Mao, he still couldn't restrain his grief: "I didn't know that my father had died of illness until I got home. I am so sad that I hate him until the end of my life, and I should be buried the next day. "
Chairman Mao immediately replied: "All members of the Politburo deeply mourn the death of Zun Weng. I still hope to grieve, recover from a serious illness, hope to rest more, and pay attention to saving work in the future. " Expressed deep affection for Zhou Enlai's comrades-in-arms and sincere condolences to Zhou Yineng's father.
After Zhou Yineng's father died, Zhou Enlai put his father's photo in his small black wallet and wrote the words "Father's portrait" on the back.
1974, Zhou Enlai's nephew Zhou Bingjun visited his old man's house in the West Flower Hall. In the conversation with his nephew, Zhou Enlai talked about his thoughts about his father. He said to Bing Jun, "I feel sorry for your grandfather. He is not very capable and honest, and his monthly salary in life does not exceed that of 30 yuan. But he has never done a bad thing in his life. And he still protects me. "
This simple sentence can't tell you how much Zhou Enlai, as a son of human beings, misses his father.
