In 1987, he Xiangning was 19 years old at this time, but he was not yet married, which saddened her father He Bingheng, for no reason other than him, He Xiangning was "heavenly foot".
He Bingheng is a native of Nanhai, Guangzhou, born in a peasant family, worked hard in Hong Kong for half a life, and later made a fortune by selling tea, he raised his daughter from an early age, hoping that her daughter would enter the "high society" in the future, but unfortunately, his daughter He Xiangning jumped out of the small nature, wrapped her feet, wrapped her feet during the day, and at night she secretly cut it off, the family hid the scissors, she secretly bought a pair of scissors with pocket money, repeated dozens of times, this matter can only be stopped.
However, at that time, the rich ladies were all "three inches of golden lotus", only the poor people stayed in heaven, and when He Xiangning reached the age of marriage, he could not marry out, which made the He family very worried.
At this time, a marriage was sent to the door, and Liao Zhongkai, a returned overseas Chinese son who studied at Hong Kong's HuangRen College, went around preaching that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law who did not have a small foot, and He Bingheng heard it and immediately asked someone to talk about the media.
In 1987, 19-year-old He Xiangning and 20-year-old Liao Zhongkai married each other, because Liao Zhongkai had just arrived in Hong Kong and did not add, the two built a cottage on the balcony on the second floor of Liao Zhongkai's brother's house, although the conditions were simple, but the husband and wife were very affectionate.
In 1898, the Penghu Reform Law failed, many aspiring young people embarked on the ferry to the sea to seek a way to save the country, Liao Zhongkai also had the heart to cross to Japan, but this move was strongly opposed by his family.
Knowing her husband's ambitions, He Xiangning did not say a word, sold the dowry, helped her husband complete his wish to go to Japan, in the 3 months after Liao Zhongkai left, He Xiangning also followed to Japan, in Japan, the husband and wife got to know Sun Yat-sen, Qiu Jin and others, and from then on embarked on the revolutionary road.
In 1905, the League was established, Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning became a "stronghold" in Japan, and He Xiangning was responsible for liaison, service, custody of letters, and guarding the portal, and was affectionately called "Obasan" by Sun Yat-sen and became the "housekeeper" of the League.
At the same time as the revolutionary study, Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning successively gave birth to two children, Liao Mengxing and Liao Chengzhi.
Although it was an "arranged marriage", the husband and wife had a very good relationship, He Xiangning was tough, and Liao Zhongkai was a little afraid of the inside, and did not have many experiences like Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek.
According to the children's recollection, the parents had a big quarrel, was to go to the Japanese island of Enoshima to play, at that time Liao Zhongkai had a lot of fun, unwilling to go home with He Xiangning, He Xiangning suspected that it was related to the maid of the island of Enoshima, which was a big fight.
It is a pity that such a loving couple did not grow old in the end.
In June 1922, Liao Zhongkai, then minister of finance of the Republic of China, went to Huizhou at the invitation of Chen Jiongming, at this time Chen Jiongming had already mutinied his mind, Liao Zhongkai was detained as soon as he arrived in Huizhou, and then there was a shelling of the presidential palace, fortunately, half an hour ago, Sun Yat-sen had boarded the Yongfeng ship and was lucky to escape the disaster.
Hearing that her husband had been arrested, He Xiangning was so anxious that he painstakingly saw her husband in prison and looked at Liao Zhongkai, who was disheveled, and He Xiang's heart was like a knife.
Not long after, He Xiangning heard the news that Chen Jiongming's brother had been assassinated in Hong Kong, and Chen Jiongming blamed this on the head of the "Alliance Association" and threatened to kill Liao Zhongkai to avenge his brother.
At that time, He Xiangning just happened to have dysentery and was hospitalized, she couldn't care about her body, wearing diapers and came to the cell again, this time, Liao Zhongkai also felt the seriousness of the matter, felt that his hope of getting out alive was slim, and wrote a farewell poem to He Xiangning:"
In the aftermath, the king worked alone, and Mo Jiao failed the female middle-class hao.
”。
After many years of marriage, how can He Xiangning watch her husband die? Therefore, he begged everywhere to see Chen Jiongming and asked loudly:
"What is wrong with Zhongkai that you want to lock him up?" Zhongkai raised money for Mr. Sun, you have to lock him up, but in the 9th year of the Republic of China (1920), Zhongkai also raised money for you. It is right to help you, but it is not right to help Mr. Sun? ”。
In a word, Chen Jiongming, who asked, was dumbfounded, and obediently released Liao Zhongkai.
In March 1925, Sun Yat-sen died of illness at the age of 58, after Sun Yat-sen's death, the contradiction between the left and the right of the Kuomintang intensified, and Liao Zhongkai, who had always supported the revolutionary movement of the workers and peasants and pursued the three major policies, saw that the rightists and even colluded with the warlords, which was painful, so he published an article entitled "Revolution and Counter-Revolution", which made the rightists hate him to the bone.
On August 20, 1925, Liao Zhongkai was brutally killed in front of the Huizhou Guild Hall at the age of 48.
After 28 years of companionship, her husband died tragically, and the 47-year-old He Xiangning could imagine how sad he was, although afterwards, the "murderers" who killed Liao Zhongkai, Liang Hongkai, Hu Hanmin and other positions were punished, but He Xiangning clearly knew why her husband Liao Zhongkai died.
After Liao Zhongkai's death, He Xiangning inherited Liao Zhongkai's legacy and continued to struggle against the right wing of the Kuomintang.
In March 1926, when Chiang Kai-shek created the "Zhongshan Ship Incident", He Xiangning was filled with indignation and scolded Chiang Kai-shek with tears:
"After the premier died, the bones were not yet cold, and after Zhongkai's death, the blood did not dry. You don't want to,...... You treated the Soviets like that last night, too treacherous! Repaying virtue with resentment violates Mr. Sun's propositions and causes the future of the revolution to decline, so why should you treat Mr. Sun? ”。
This was the first time He Xiangning had scolded Chiang Kai-shek.
In April 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup, and He Xiangning stood up again, made a speech vowing not to be with the people's thieves, and refused to be a witness to Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling.
This is He Xiangning's scolding of Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1931, the September 18 Incident broke out, Chiang Kai-shek's policy of non-resistance led to the rapid fall of the three eastern provinces, He Xiangning asked Chiang Kai-shek to support the Nineteenth Route Army's War of Resistance, but Chiang Kai-shek refused, angrily writing:
"He called himself a boy in vain, and was willing to be enslaved." Send mountains and rivers without war, and all the worlds will be ashamed. My women, may I die on the battlefield. Put me in your clothes and change your clothes! ”。
This was the third time He Xiangning had scolded Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1933, He Xiangning's son Liao Chengzhi was arrested for handling affairs for the underground party, He Xiangning's condensed heart attack recurred, and he scolded Chiang Kai-shek again in the public security bureau, and threatened to go to jail with his son.
This was the 4th time He Xiangning scolded Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1942, when the Anhui Incident broke out, He Xiangning, Song Qingling, Liu Yazi and others called Chiang Kai-shek three times to condemn Chiang Kai-shek's civil war plot, which was he Xiangning's fifth scolding of Chiang Kai-shek.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, He Xiangning resolutely opposed Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorial and civil war policies and actively engaged in anti-Chiang Kai-shek activities.
In 1972, He Xiangning came to the end of his life, and on his deathbed, he was buried with her husband Liao Zhongkai, and Premier Zhou, who came to visit her, readily agreed, and in September of the same year, He Xiangning died of illness at the age of 94.
After his death, He Xiangning and Liao Zhongkai were buried next to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and after 47 years, He Xiangning and Liao Zhongkai were reunited.
