This woman, Chen Yuzhen, is a well-educated big-footed girl. She participated in the Revolution of 1911 of 19 165438 and the revolutionary activities of 19 16. Chen Yuzhen refused to consider getting married, provided that she didn't talk face to face with her suitors before getting married.
Zhu De accepted this "challenge". After Zhu De met with Chen Yuzhen, both sides had a good impression.
Soon, they got married.
Chen Yuzhen is a good housekeeper. After getting married, she kept the house simple, novel and very clean. When she learned that Zhu De likes to grow flowers, she placed flowers inside and outside her home, and she also carefully trimmed a beautiful flower bed. She loves Zhu Bao and regards Zhu Bao as her own child.
The second marriage gave Zhu De a happy family.
In the era of belligerence, the Zhu De family of three seemed to be a safe harbor and a small isolated world. At that time, local thoughtful people often gathered in Zhu De's apartment to study China society and discuss issues such as democracy, science, ethnic and racial equality. To this end, Chen Yuzhen also set up an exquisite study, searched for some books and pamphlets about Russian October revolutionary thought and the Declaration of Racial Equality, and subscribed to magazines such as New Youth and New Trends.
Because of her similar hobbies, Chen Yuzhen bought a lot of books for Zhu De, such as The Book of Songs, The Water Margin, A Dream of Red Mansions, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Journey to the West, 300 Tang Poems, Grandson, etc., and also bought two beautiful bookcases, which she kept in perfect order. This is Zhu De's favorite place.
