One day in December 1994, the old man surnamed Miao, who lived in Fuzhou City, was taking a lunch break, but a tight knock on the door sounded in the house, and the old man could only get dressed and go out to see what the situation was. Standing outside the door was a strange man, who looked to be in his fifties.
The old man surnamed Miao asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
The man replied, "I'm looking for Miao Yu, is Miao Yu at home?" ”
The old man nodded slightly, and then said, "It's me, I'm Miao Yu, who are you, what's the matter with me?" ”
The man looked at you a little, and then said, "I am Li Wen, your half-brother, and I came to you this time to tell you your true identity." ”
Miao Yu was stunned for a moment, more than ten years ago, before Miao Yu's adoptive mother died of illness, she knew that she was an adopted child. After the death of her adoptive mother, Miao Yu also struggled to find her biological parents, but there was no clue.
Now, a strange man appeared at his doorstep, but said that he wanted to tell him the mystery of his life, Miao Yu's eyes slowly turned red, and tears filled his eyes. She asked, "Who am I and who are my parents?" ”
The man said slowly: "Your real name is Chen Changhong, you are chen Duxiu's granddaughter, and you are also the daughter of the revolutionary martyr Chen Qiao Nian, and you are the only bloodline he has left in this world." ”
For this identity, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, splitting on the head of the old man "Miao Yu", how could she be Chen Duxiu's granddaughter and Chen Qiao Nian's daughter. What's going on here?
Revolutionary martyrs, the glorious Chen family
Chen Duxiu was one of the earliest founders and leaders of our party, and his sons Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian were also leading cadres in the early days of our party. At the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1927, Chen Duxiu, Chen Yannian, and Chen Qiaonian were elected as members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Although Chen Duxiu and Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian are father and son, Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian brothers have a huge gap with their father Chen Duxiu. All this stemmed from chen duxiu's first marriage, Chen Duxiu was born in a feudal family. In the early years, in order to let Chen Duxiu continue the incense, the family married Chen Duxiu to the local lady Gao Xiaolan according to the idea of being the right door.
In the five years when the husband and wife were just married, the two sides got along quite happily, and Gao Xiaolan gave birth to three sons and a daughter for Chen Duxiu, but with Chen Duxiu's continuous progress and acceptance of the impact of new ideas, the husband and wife had contradictions and conflicts.
On the one hand, Gao Xiaolan, who accepted feudal ideas, and on the other hand, Chen Duxiu, who accepted new ideas and new education, could not convince the other.
After a long time, chen Duxiu left his hometown in Anqing alone in order not to quarrel with his wife and ran to Shanghai to fight for the revolutionary cause. In the hearts of the brothers Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian, the father Chen Duxiu is an irresponsible person, they do not understand why the father has done, and even resent the father for abandoning his wife and son.
In 1915, under the influence of his father Chen Duxiu's revolutionary activities, Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian could only leave their hometowns and study in Shanghai. During this period, the two refused to accept their father's help, and with half-work and half-study, they were both admitted to Fudan University in Shanghai.
In the metropolis of Shanghai, the brothers work odd jobs, earn tuition fees, and although they have simple food and clothing, they are happy. Under the unbearable heart, a colleague once advised Chen Duxiu to take his sons home.
Chen Duxiu laughed and said, "I am very pleased that there are two sons like this, they can be free from my food, such an independent concept, and should be a new youth in the new era."
When Chen Duxiu's second wife, Gao Manjun, learned of this, she persuaded Chen Duxiu to bring her sons back to live together.
Chen Duxiu said: "In their lives, let them run amok on their own, and don't interfere." ”
Under the harsh and simple living conditions, the two brothers developed a hard-working, dare to fight character, four years later, the brothers graduated from Fudan University with excellent results, in the same year China broke out the May Fourth Patriotic Movement, in order to pursue the way to save the country and save the people, the brothers embarked on a journey to study in France.
In this foreign country, the brothers still maintain the tradition of working half-time and studying half-time, studying hard during the day and working in the tavern at night to earn money. During this period, Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian successively became acquainted with a group of communists, and changed from the original anarchist ideas to the acceptance of proletarian revolutionary theory Marxist ideas.
Since that time, the brothers' lives have undergone a huge change, and they have begun to understand the revolutionary cause of their father Chen Duxiu, but they cannot let go of the fact that Chen Duxiu abandoned his wife and son. Ideologically, the brothers began to actively participate in communist activities, taking the initiative to study books of Marxist thought, and trying to find a good way to save the country and save the people in these books.
In 1922, with the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian successfully joined the Communist Party of China and became advanced Communist Party members. In the following year, the two brothers were assigned to study at the Communist University of Eastern Workers in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, because of their conscientious and responsible work.
In 1924, under the arrangement of the CPC Central Committee, Chen Qiaonian returned to China to serve as the organization director of the Beijing Prefectural Committee of the CPC. After returning to the motherland after many years of absence, Chen Qiaonian actively carried out the struggle work and resisted imperialist oppression with full enthusiasm.
At that time, the struggle situation in the Beijing area was bad, on the one hand, it was against the oppression of communism by the warlords, and on the other hand, the right-wing forces of the Kuomintang were also trying to undermine the united front of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Under these circumstances, Chen Qiaonian successively opened a secret printing factory and a northern party school to vigorously publicize the spirit of Marxism.
Joe got married and left orphaned
Two years later, Chen Qiaonian went to Shanghai on behalf of the Communists of the Northern Region to attend the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party of China, during which he met Shi Jingyi, a female revolutionary fighter.
Chen's father and brother were opposed to the decision to be together, because Shi Jingyi was once the fiancée of Liu Renjing, a communist at the time. At that time, this did not shake the determination of the two to be together,
During the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the two gave birth to the first crystal of love in Wuhan, and Chen Qiaonian named the child "Chen Hongwu".
The convening of the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China was of special significance, when Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang broke out the "April 12 Counter-Revolutionary Coup" in the Shanghai area, wantonly slaughtering communists, and the Wuhan Nationalist Government headed by Wang Jingwei also hesitated, gradually moving from vacillation to reaction. As the Communist Party of China entered the realm of life and death, the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China decided to send Chen Yannian, secretary of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang District CPC Committee, to the Shanghai area to fight against Chiang Kai-shek.
However, just two months later, Chen Yannian was arrested and imprisoned, and brutally killed by the Kuomintang reactionaries. After the news came,
Chen Qiaonian was devastated, and he offered to take over his brother's work and fight in the Shanghai area.
After full consideration, the superior leader agreed to Chen Qinian's request.
After receiving the affirmation of his superiors, Chen Qiaonian bid farewell to his wife Shi Jingyi and his child Chen Hongwu, who was not yet one year old, at this time Chen Qiaonian did not know that Shi Jingyi was pregnant.
On February 16, 1928, Chen Qiaonian and other Communists held a meeting in the Shanghai Embroidery Girls' School, and were informed by the revolutionary traitor Tang Ruilin, so Chen Qiaonian and all the Communists who participated in the meeting were arrested.
In prison, Chen Qiaonian was tortured by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the whip, pepper water, tiger stool, and soldering iron left one wound after another on Chen Qiaonian's body, but no matter how severely the enemy tortured him, Chen Qiaonian did not tell us the secret information of our party. Seeing that Chen Qiaonian was silent, the Kuomintang reactionaries could only brutally kill him.
Before going to the execution ground, some comrades asked Chen Qiaonian what else he wanted to explain to his family and the party.
Chen Qiaonian said with a smile: "We have done our best for the party and have no concern for the family, but I hope that all comrades can protect the body of the revolution and let future generations enjoy the happiness of our bravery." ”
When Chen Qiaonian was arrested, Shi Jingyi disregarded the pregnant body and took her child Chen Hongwu around to try to rescue Chen Qiaonian, but unfortunately Chen Qiaonian had not yet been rescued, and Chen Hongwu left the world because she could not stand the turbulent and displaced life.
When the news of Chen Qinian's death came, Shi Jingyi also gave birth to his widowed son "Chen Changhong".
The Central Party organization feared that the Kuomintang reactionaries would harm the mother and daughter, so they moved them out of Shanghai. Due to the death of her young son and husband one after another, Shi Jingyi's soul was devastated, so she decided to entrust her newborn daughter to the Shanghai Mutual Freemasons to raise her and go to the Soviet Union alone to study.
Mother and daughter separated and searched for relatives for many years
The Shanghai Mutual Masonic Society is a place dedicated to receiving the children of revolutionary martyrs, and generally after receiving children, it will also help children find new adoptive parents and help them make up for the lack of fatherly and maternal love.
After two or three months in the Shanghai Mutual Freemasons, Chen Changhong was adopted by a husband and wife surnamed Miao, but before long, the family could not continue to raise their children due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, and could only transfer them to a family surnamed Chen.
Due to the reasons of the transfer and war years, the organization also gradually lost the information of the children.
After Chen Changhong arrived at this new family,although his life was poor, he slowly grew up step by step.
In 1944, the New Fourth Army came to Chen Changhong's hometown, she actively joined the ranks of the New Fourth Army, because when she was a child, the old grandmother of the Chen family told her that she was the child of a family surnamed Miao, so she gave herself the name "Miao Yu".
In order to get the news of her biological parents, Miao Yu joined the revolutionary ranks of the New Fourth Army, and in the five-year war, Miao Yu went from the ranks of the New Fourth Army to the Huaye 10 Corps, and after the campaign to liberate Fujian, was sent to the Fuzhou City Public Security Department. For many years, Miao Yu had always thought that she had been raised by the Chen family, and her biological parents were the couple surnamed Miao.
The Emperor is worthy of his heart,
In 1973, Miao Yu found the family of Miao's adoptive parents, the adoptive father had been dead for many years, the adoptive mother was also sick and bedridden, and on her deathbed, the adoptive mother of the Miao family informed her of the whole process of adopting her.
Hearing this, Miao Yu was also confused, the Miao family who thought they were her biological parents were not her biological parents, so who she really was, in order to find out her identity, Miao Yu had responded to the organization many times, hoping to help find her relatives, but there was no result.
At the same time, Miao Yu's biological mother did not give up looking for her daughter, and after returning from the Soviet Union, Shi Jingyi inquired about her daughter's whereabouts everywhere, but she did not know anything.
In 1968, Shi Jingyi died, and before she died, she entrusted the mission of finding her daughter to her brother-in-law Yang Qianru.
After receiving this commission, Yang Qianru also inquired from many sources, but has been searching for unsuccessful results, so in 1989, Yang Qianru published the fact that Chen Qiaonian had a widowed daughter in the newspaper, hoping to be able to find out the child with the help of the strength of the broad masses of the people.
Soon, this matter caused an uproar all over the country, Miao Yu also saw this article, after comparing the things said by her adoptive mother and the content of the article, Miao Yu felt that she was likely to be the widow mentioned in the article, so she also wrote a letter to Yang Qianru.
However, at this time, Yang Qianru was already seriously ill and dying, unable to read her letters, and before her death, Yang Qianru handed over the matter to Li Wen, the son born of Shi Jingyi's remarriage.
Because she had not received a reply for a long time, Miao Yu thought that she had made a mistake and slowly gave up the idea of finding her biological parents. When Li Wen was sorting out his uncle's relics afterwards, he found Miao Yu's letter.
In 1994, after many twists and turns, Li Wen finally found Miao Yu's home, and in December of that year, he went to Fuzhou to look for his half-sister.
After the two met, Li Wen carefully looked at Miao Yu's appearance and found that this woman had a mother's shadow on her body, and when he heard Miao Yu ask about his true identity, Li Wen smiled and said: "Your name is Chen Changhong, you are Chen Duxiu's granddaughter, and you are also Chen Qiaonian's daughter, the only bloodline he left in this world." ”
After sixty-six years, Miao Yu finally figured out her real name, she was left in tears of excitement, and in the days that followed, Miao Yu was identified by DNA and recognized one by one with the descendants of the Chen family.
After years of wandering,
She returned to her father's hometown and went to the graves of her father and grandfather to tell them her sorrows and thoughts. Just like her father Chen Qiaonian said, she enjoyed the happiness of her father's bravery.
