The name Zhao Yiman is no stranger, one of the outstanding female representatives of the Anti-Japanese War period, and the "hero of the towel" in our hearts.
Zhao Yiman was born in a large family, the family conditions are very good, it is reasonable to say that she lives in such a worry-free family environment, living a leisurely and comfortable life every day, which is the life that many people yearn for.
But Zhao Yiman's personality does not allow her to do this, she wants to go out and break out, to realize her ambitions, never to learn to sew and embroider at home, and become a rich lady who only promises.
Zhao Yiman has behaved like a little boy since she was a child, and her academic performance is not particularly prominent, but in student activities, her performance is very good, and her leadership ability is even far superior to that of boys.
It is precisely because of her leadership ability that she held a very important position in the student council of the school when she was very young, and also organized a variety of large and small activities, accumulating a lot of rich experience.
In this way, Zhao Yiman gradually attracted more and more attention from the party organization in the school and joined the Communist Party of China.
Subsequently, Zhao Yiman entered the Whampoa Military Academy and received formal military training, although she only stayed for 6 months, but during this time, she has grown into a determined female soldier.
In September 1927, Zhao Yiman went to Sun Yat-sen University in Russia for further study, and it was during this time that she met a man named Chen Dabang.
Chen Dabang gave Zhao Yiman great help in life and study, which also made her gradually develop a love for this kind and excellent man.
Chen Dabang was already in love with this brave and frank girl, and in this way, in April 1928, Zhao Yiman married Chen Dabang.
After marriage, the life of the two is also very happy, sharing happiness and hardships, experiencing wind and rain together, and enjoying happiness together.
Soon after, Zhao Yiman became pregnant, but it was also at this time that she was informed to return to China immediately. Zhao Yiman is not the kind of person who has children and daughters, even if she has a reluctant heart, she still resolutely decided to return to China.
And comforted Chen Dabang: "Dabang, after separation, we still have to work together, of course, it is good to meet, if we can't meet, we don't have to be sad, one day we will meet." ”
After saying this, Zhao Yiman turned firmly and walked in the direction of the return train. One day in December 1928, Zhao Yiman, who had been resting for a few days in China, suddenly received a task to transfer documents and escort cadres.
Two months later, Zhao Yiman gave birth to a boy with the help of an unknown porter. Zhao Yiman knew that the burden on his body would be heavier in the future.
As a mother, she hopes to have more time with her son, but as an underground worker, she must complete every job of her own.
The entanglement of affairs makes it impossible for her to accompany her son, not to mention the special nature of her work, which also makes her worry about the danger to her family and son.
Therefore, she decided to entrust her son to her husband Chen Dabang's eldest brother to help raise him, so that she could devote herself to the cause of the revolutionary struggle with peace of mind.
However, this female fighter, who never cared about life and death, was unfortunately captured by the Japanese army in a battle in 1935.
Zhao Yiman's name, the Japanese army has long heard, this time finally arrested her, they happily cheered for themselves.
When they finally caught Zhao Yiman, they could get more useful information from her mouth, but no matter how ferociously the enemy tortured her, she never revealed any information.
What is the difference between the Japanese and the cattle when they are ferocious? Zhao Yiman was finally beaten and sent to a hospital in Harbin.
But the heartbroken Japanese did not spare her, and even used some inhuman means, including cruel electrocution.
But what they didn't know was that although they used inhuman means, Zhao Yiman's revolutionary will was also beyond the firmness of ordinary people, and it was definitely not the weak and uncontrollable woman they thought.
Her eyes widened and she clenched her teeth, refusing to reveal anything no matter how the Japanese tortured her. Taiji Ohno, who was in charge of her interrogation at the time, later expressed deep remorse when recalling it, saying: "Her screams made me unforgettable!" ”
On August 1, 1936, Zhao Yiman was escorted by the Japanese army to the Pearl River. On August 2, Zhao Yiman died heroically.
