In 1978, the state held a memorial service for Mr. Peng, and his ex-wife, Urayasu, wanted to participate as a widow, but was opposed by everyone. This has to start from the historical background of that year.
First, the world is chaotic, and there are lovers who are on different sides
Pu Anxiu is not the only ex-wife of Mr. Peng, his original wife is named Liu Kunmo. In 1922, Mr. Peng, who was still serving in the Xiang Army, married Liu Ximei, the daughter of Lang Lang, because of the matchmaking of relatives and friends.
Elder Peng is always a person who attaches great importance to feelings, and he is very fond of the young Liu Ximei, often squeezing out time in his busy work, teaching her to read and write, and helping her learn cultural knowledge.
Under the influence of Mr. Peng, Liu Ximei, who was still a little ignorant, gradually had a higher ideological realm. She has special admiration for Mr. Peng, and has always hoped to accompany Mr. Peng and grow old with him.
Mr. Peng also has high expectations for Liu Ximei, hoping that she can become a "model among women", so he gave her a formal name "Liu Kunmo".
When the Pingjiang Uprising broke out in 1928, Mr. Peng sent Liu Kunmo to his hometown for fear of being hurt, promising her that when the revolution was victorious, he would definitely pick her up.
Unfortunately, it backfired, after Liu Kunmo left Mr. Peng, because of the chaos in the world, he lost contact with the organization and could only wander around alone.
At the hardest time, even eating is a problem. Later, Liu Kunmo, because he really couldn't survive, married another person with the help of Tao Zhu's mother and had a daughter with him.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Mr. Peng, as an officer, actively participated in the war, led the anti-war troops to constantly maneuver with the enemy, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the enemy.
Liu Kunmo was particularly excited after learning about The heroic deeds of Mr. Peng through the newspaper, and wrote a letter to him.
At that time, Mr. Peng had already become the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and after receiving Liu Kunmo's letter, he was very excited and immediately wrote a reply letter with a pen.
Mr. Peng stressed in the letter: Kun MoMei, I am very excited to receive your letter in the rain of bullets and bullets. If you want to come, you can go to the office of the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an to find Director Lin Boqu.
After several turns, Liu Kunmo came to Yan'an. At this time, many years have passed since the two were separated. When they met again, both of them changed their appearance, and there was a feeling that things were not human.
At this time, Liu Kunmo had been remarried for a long time, and there was no way to reunite with Mr. Peng. Therefore, the two helplessly broke away from the marriage relationship.
However, they did not break off contact because of this, and the two were still good comrades who fought side by side.
Second, look for a good relationship again, and the husband sings with the woman
Because he has always been committed to leading the army to fight, Mr. Peng has been running on the battlefield for many years, and he can't think about his own life events at all.
Chairman Mao and other leaders were particularly concerned about his affairs and wanted to solve the major affairs of his life as soon as possible. It was also during this period that Pu Anxiu broke into the life of Mr. Peng.
Born in 1918, Urayasu participated in the "12.9" patriotic student movement in his youth. In 1936, because of his active participation in the revolution, he was recognized by his comrades, joined the party organization as he wished, and became a glorious party member. Later, because of the active war of resistance, he went to Shanxi to carry out related work.
In 1938, Mr. Peng returned to Yan'an to attend important meetings. During the period, several comrades from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee invited everyone to attend a gathering.
Because of this gathering, the positive thinking of Pu Anxiu attracted the attention of Mr. Peng. He had a good impression of Urayasu and thought she was a promising young man with lofty aspirations. Pu Anxiu also felt that Mr. Peng, who was brave and good at war, was a big hero worthy of admiration.
After getting along for a while, the two recognized each other and developed a good feeling for each other. The other leaders saw that the two were a good match and began to find ways to match them.
Soon, the two men, with the help of comrades, established a marriage relationship. After getting married, the two fought for the revolution together and did not look like ordinary couples.
Mr. Peng went to the front line and continued to command the battle. Urayasu went to another department and took charge of other tasks. Because of the frequent outbreaks of battles, the two could only miss each other from a distance, and even communication was pitifully small.
However, this does not affect their feelings, because they are like-minded comrades-in-arms, all fighting for the same goal.
In 1949, the northwest was liberated, and as a military general, Mr. Peng gradually became less stressed.
The leaders of the organization felt that Mr. Peng had been living alone for a long time, and it was not very convenient, so he specially consulted with Pu Anxiu and wanted to transfer her to the northwest region and let her work with Mr. Peng.
Pu Anxiu also missed Mr. Peng, and she knew that it was a good intention for the organization leaders to want to transfer themselves to the northwest region, but she politely declined this arrangement and took the initiative to work in other departments, trying not to have anything to do with Mr. Peng's jurisdiction.
Many people believe that Pu Anxiu may have done this to separate family and work, and try to distinguish between public and private, which is also the code of conduct that Mr. Peng has always had.
Third, the original intention has not changed, and we must persist in serving the people
Mr. Peng has made three requests to the people around him. First, you are not greedy. Second, others don't send it. Third, dare to block back cheeky bosses and acquaintances. Mr. Peng always believes that only by doing these three things can we keep a "public".
Mr. Peng not only strictly requires the people around him, but also always leads by example and never takes more than a penny from the public.
Once, when Mr. Peng took someone to Wushi to investigate, the cadres of the production team sent Mr. Peng a pot of honey. The entourage wanted to refuse, but because the cadres of the production team were too enthusiastic, they reluctantly accepted the gift.
As we all know, Mr. Peng does not like to accept other people's things, and he has not dared to let him know about honey. After returning to Beijing for several months, the entourage carefully told Mr. Peng about honey.
Mr. Peng wanted to send the honey back, but because it was inconvenient to mail it, he reluctantly gave up the idea. He did not want to take advantage of others in vain, personally wrote a letter, explained the situation to the cadres of the Wushi Brigade, and at the same time sent 30 yuan out of his own pocket.
On another occasion, when Mr. Peng was ordered to work in the third line of the southwest and inspected the work of the department at a farm in Luojishan, Xichang, he was warmly invited by the staff, and at the strong request of the staff, he went to the pasture canteen to eat a home-cooked meal.
Prior to this, Mr. Peng had worked hard for more than a month because of the heavy research work, and the whole person had lost a few points.
Therefore, the canteen staff added a little more meat to the meal, and when Mr. Peng and his party checked out, the staff only charged two yuan according to the standard of two dimes per person.
In the evening, Mr. Peng finished his work, inquired about the previous payment, and then wrote a letter to Tian Xingcheng, the person in charge of the ranch canteen.
The gist is as follows: Comrade Tian, we ate at your side today, and each person only counted two dimes, which is really too little. Six pounds of meat are counted as seven horns per pound, that is, four yuan of two corners, and other meals, at least ten yuan to be fair. In addition to each person has been given two corners, another eight yuan please check.
In his letter, Mr. Peng also stressed in particular that any enterprise must strictly implement the accounting system and not engage in those small actions.
In fact, these two events are just a small episode in the life of Mr. Peng, who has always maintained the arduous style of the revolutionary period, has always spurred himself on with strict standards, and actively served the people.
Fourth, helpless divorce, leaving a lifetime of regrets
During the special period, Mr. Peng encountered many tribulations because of some historical problems. His wife, Urayasu, was also severely affected during that turbulent period. In the end, Urayasu could not withstand the pressure from all sides and reluctantly filed for divorce.
At that time, Mr. Peng was at the lowest point in his life, and Pu Anxiu's choice was another heavy blow to him.
After Pu Anxiu submitted the divorce application, the person in charge of the review, because he felt that the matter was important, did not dare to directly approve it, and chose to report it to the leader. In the end, the incident of Pu Anxiu even alarmed Premier Zhou and Deng Gong, causing a wave within the organization.
Deng Gong believes that divorce is not a matter within the family, and it is best not to interfere. As a result, Urayasu's divorce application was not formally approved. Unfortunately, the relationship between the two husband and wife has come to an end.
In November 1974, Mr. Peng was hospitalized because of illness. When Mr. Peng was seriously ill and dying, someone suggested that Pu Anxiu should visit the hospital.
Pu Anxiu hesitated for a long time, but never agreed, until The death of Mr. Peng, and did not meet with him. This wrong choice later became a regret that Urayasu could not let go of until his death.
After the unfortunate death of Mr. Peng, the domestic environment has gradually undergone new changes. In 1978, Deng Gong personally decided to hold a high-level memorial service for Mr. Peng, who had been dead for a long time.
Because he was the ex-wife of Mr. Peng, He received comrades attending the memorial service. When she appeared at the memorial service, she caused a lot of turmoil.
Some people believe that Pu Anxiu left at the most difficult time for Mr. Peng and was not qualified to appear as the marshal's wife.
Some people also believe that Urayasu was forced to do that and could not put all the responsibility on her. Everyone has their own opinions and makes things bigger and bigger.
During the war, Deng Gong had a deep friendship with Mr. Peng, and he was also very clear about Pu Anxiu's personality, and after knowing about Pu Anxiu's affairs, he personally came forward and asked her to attend the memorial service as his wife.
In fact, after Ura Anxiu filed for divorce, she always regretted it, and in order to make up for her mistakes, she gave herself three chapters of the law.
First, do not present yourself as the marshal's wife in any public place. Second, in strict accordance with the requirements of Mr. Peng that year, rely on work to support themselves and not cause trouble to others. Third, the inheritance left by Mr. Peng was all handed over to Mr. Peng's other relatives, and he did not take anything.
The General Counselor had wanted to allocate a small courtyard to Pu Anxiu to improve her living conditions, but she chose to refuse because she did not want to violate the teachings of Mr. Peng.
V. Restore revolutionary history, and the heroic spirit will never die
Later, in order to carry forward the revolutionary spirit, the leaders decided to write a biography for Mr. Peng. Pu Anxiu was familiar with Mr. Peng's past experience and was responsible for this glorious work.
During his tenure, Pu Anxiu worked diligently to restore Mr. Peng's early experience according to historical facts as much as possible, so that more people could understand Mr. Peng's heroic deeds relatively objectively.
In order to successfully complete this task, Urayasu visited everywhere, contacted many of Mr. Peng's comrades-in-arms, and sorted out a lot of material information through their dictations.
Every time he got a new material, Urayasu would read it many times and compare it with other material materials as if he had been given a treasure. Make sure it's correct before it's included in the scope of the book.
This process is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, and Uraya has spent a lot of time and effort on it, but she does not feel hard at all.
Because of this job, she can cross time and space, communicate with Mr. Peng, who has long passed away, and pull the distance between the two as far as possible.
In the process of visiting, Urayasu did his best to provide a lot of help to the lives of his old comrades-in-arms.
In the end, based on the life deeds of Mr. Peng, Pu Anxiu compiled a book "Peng Dehuai's Self-Description". The content of this book is rich, truly and vividly reproduces the glorious life of Mr. Peng, and provides valuable materials for the study and education of a new generation of young people. At the same time, it also provides a lot of necessary help for the study of modern history of relevant departments.
Because of the compilation of this book, Urayasu, as the main person in charge, received a large amount of manuscript fees. It was the reward she had worked so hard for a long time, but instead of taking the money to improve her life, she donated it.
The institutions that received the donation were schools in Mr. Peng's hometown and Zuoquan And Wuxiang counties, and the main purpose of the donation was to build dormitories for children and buy books.
In addition, Urayasu also took out his own savings and donated a lot of money to the Primary and Secondary School Kindergarten Teachers Foundation to help more people in need of care. In May 1991, Urayasu died of illness at the age of 73.
