After the death of General Dong Zhentang, the widow raised 3 children alone, what happened to them?
No. 343 Zhongshan West Road, Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province, is the location of the North China Military Region Martyrs' Cemetery, which is one of the martyrs' cemeteries built early, large-scale and high architectural specifications in China.
The highest-ranking martyr in the cemetery was General Dong Zhentang, who was brave and good at war and made many military achievements in his life, and served as the commander of the Red Fifth Army, the commander of the Red Fifth Army, and a member of the Central Military Commission, and died in the Hexi Corridor in January 1937.
The cemetery is built with the monument of Comrade Dong Zhentang and the monument pavilion, surrounded by evergreen trees, symbolizing the immortal spirit of Dong Zhentang's struggle for the revolution.
When General Dong Zhentang died, he left his widow Jia Yuming and 3 children behind, what happened to them?
After the death of her husband, Jia Yuming was taken care of by the anti-Japanese regime in his hometown in Hebei. But soon, the Japanese invaded Xinhe County, and the west Lizukazhuang village belt became a guerrilla area, so Jia Yuming led the family to Anhui and supported the family by spinning thread and weaving. In 1949, the central government sent someone to take Jia Yuming back to his hometown in Hebei and properly resettled him.
In 1954, Jia Yuming began to enjoy the treatment of martyrs' dependents of the General Welfare Department of the People's Liberation Army, enjoying a monthly subsidy of 38 yuan.
In the 1970s, with the approval of the relevant departments, the living allowance rose to 60 yuan per month, and the old subordinates of Dong Zhentang of the Fifth Red Army provided jia Yuming with public medical treatment at the 301 Hospital.
Jia Yu will have a happy new year tomorrow night, staying in Beijing, Shijiazhuang and Xinhe. Every Time the Founding Day and the Spring Festival Gala, the General Political Welfare Department will send hospitality tickets and 100 yuan subsidies. Later, the old lady was too old to walk, so she was carried to the reception in a wheelchair.
In October 1993, Jia Yuming died of illness in Beijing at the age of 89, and his ashes were cremated and buried in his hometown in Xinhe County.
Jia Yuming and General Dong Zhentang had a total of 3 children, two sons and a daughter, and the only one alive today is the second son Dong Yongwei.
When Dong Yongwei was 5 years old, he went to luoyang with his grandfather and mother to live with his father for a few days, and he never saw his father again.
When he was 7 years old, Dong Zhentang participated in the Ningdu Uprising and only sent a letter to his hometown, saying only that "there will be a major disaster in the near future, and I hope that my family will be on guard." This was dong yongwei's last message of his father.
After that, Dong Yongwei wandered outside, working as a young man in the cloth shop, and later entered the "Zhongzheng" Middle School in Xi'an, and was admitted to Beiyang University, entering North China University before graduation, and teaching at Chinese Min University after graduation.
In 1957, in order to support the construction of the textile industry, he participated in the work of Shijiazhuang Cotton Spinning Seventh Factory, and later retired from the post of deputy director, and his life was basically calm.
Born in 1924, he is now 96 years old, the spirit is very high, the thinking is also very easy, talking about his father Dong Zhentang, the old man is very excited, he said that although he and his father did not have much time to live, but the father's spirit has always affected their brothers and sisters.
After experiencing war and turmoil, Dong Yongwei's father's relics in his hands are basically gone, only a photo taken in the Northwest Army left by his father before his death. Before taking refuge in Anhui, Dong Yongwei's cousin hid this photo in the cracks in the wall of his hometown, and after the family returned to their hometown again, they found that the photo had damaged a corner and changed from a full-body portrait to a bust.
Dong Yongwei has always carried a copy of this photo with him, he said that his father left him not just a photo, but a spirit, for many years the three of them have maintained simple living habits, and strive to contribute to society.
Under the influence of their father, they participated in revolutionary work after the founding of New China, all of them are party members, and now Dong Yongwei's brother and sister have died, and the descendants of their sister have donated corneas according to her will.
Every year on the Qingming Festival, Dong Yongwei takes his family to the North China Military Region Martyrs' Cemetery to pay homage to his father, and he often tells the stories of his fathers to future generations, hoping to continue to pass on the spirit of his ancestors.
