After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao met many people who came to visit him in Zhongnanhai, but rarely invited others to his home in Zhongnanhai. However, one woman is an exception. Chairman Mao not only invited her to his home in Zhongnanhai twice, but once invited her to live in Zhongnanhai for 25 days. If this woman hadn't repeatedly proposed to go home in order not to disturb Chairman Mao's work and life, Chairman Mao would have let her stay in Zhongnanhai for a few more days. Chairman Mao is very concerned about this woman's family and living conditions, and even wants to raise this woman's son, which makes us have to ask in our hearts, in what capacity did this mysterious woman go to live in Chairman Mao's house?
This woman is Cao, the wife of Luo Zhe, a revolutionary elder. But what happened in the end, the story has to start with Luo Zhe, a revolutionary as a hero. Luo Zhe's ancestors made a living by farming. There are four brothers in the family, and Luo Zhe ranks last among them. Luo Zhe's father and three brothers are simple rural people, and they are very strict in managing family affairs. As the youngest child, after Luo Zhe was born, his family gradually became balanced and his life became better and richer. Considering that there were no scholars at home, the elders decided to send Luo Zhe to study. The clever Luo Zhe didn't disappoint his father. He is diligent and studious, and his lessons and grades are good. Originally, his father just wanted him to go to a private school, but as a result, he was secretly admitted to a higher primary school.
Luo Zhe's father just wanted Luo Zhe to be able to read and settle accounts at first, so that he could use these skills to better manage family affairs in the future. However, Luo Zhe was admitted to a foreign school. Facing Luo Zhe's idea of going out to school, Luo Zhe's father was very angry and taught Luo Zhe a lesson. Later, under the persuasion of Luo Zhe's relatives and friends, Luo Zhe's father reluctantly agreed to go to school in other places. Luo Zhe finished high school in other places. Luo Zhe's father thought that reading was too expensive and reading too many books was of little use, so he strongly urged Luo Zhe to go home and farm. Although Luo Zhe didn't say much against it in front of his father, he had already secretly made plans to study, first admitted to the university, and then interceded with the elders at home.
Persuaded by relatives, my father, who thought it was a waste of money to go to school, finally agreed to pay Luo Zhe to go to college and let Luo Zhe continue his studies. During the period of Luozhe University, living expenses and other expenses were strictly limited, so Luozhe had no money to buy books at school, but this did not kill his enthusiasm for reading. When he had no money to buy books, he borrowed books from his classmates. For some content that he thinks is very important, he takes notes in his spare time, writes down his own thoughts, and always communicates his reading feelings with his classmates after reading. In his studies, Luo Zhe has always been very attentive, but in his life, Luo Zhe has never pursued too high a goal. A pair of shoes and a piece of clothing must be mended when worn out, but Luo Zhe never cares about these things. He is just immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
Luo Zhe studied in Hunan Higher Technical School, from 19 18 to 1922, which lasted for four years. This period was the great May 4th Movement and the founding of our Party. Xinmin Society, represented by Chairman Mao and Hunan District Committee, led Hunan workers, students and people from all walks of life in Changsha and launched a vigorous anti-imperialist and anti-feudal movement. Luo Zhe warmly welcomed these activities and became an active member in the student movement. Every time there is a strike, Luo Zhe is always elected as a student representative by virtue of his own ability, and he is often tired of the strike movement. On one occasion, Luo Zhe led all the students, obeyed the unified leadership of Hunan Federation of Students, and petitioned Zhao Hengti together. Because Luo Zhe has always had a yearning for the victory of the revolution, it is this will that allows him to persist even in the face of hunger, cold and pain. It was because of his persistence in the revolution that he accidentally gained the appreciation of Chairman Mao.
1in the autumn of 922, Luo Zhe completed his studies at Hunan Institute of Technology. He decided to go to Beijing and apply for a university in Beijing. Because of the delay on the way, the examination time was delayed, so I was admitted to Beijing Russian Institute of Political Science and Law. Luo Zhe studied at the Russian Institute of Political Science and Law in Beijing for four years. At this time, under the leadership of the Northern Party Committee and revolutionary comrade Li Dazhao, Beijing vigorously launched mass struggles at all levels, such as "convening a national convention", "tariff independence" and "March 18th". These struggles were directed at the northern warlords, which ignited a raging revolutionary fire in the hearts of the broad masses of the people. In these struggles and rebellions again and again, Luo Zhe, a young heart, has become more and more mature through repeated experiences. For the victory of the revolution, he constantly enriched himself, made friends and made contributions to the revolution.
On March 1926 and 18, people from all walks of life in Beijing held a protest rally of more than 100,000 people in Tiananmen Square, demanding the expulsion of the ministers of the G-8 countries. After the meeting, a petition group of 2000 people was organized to petition the government of Beiyang warlord. Luo Zhe was once again elected as a representative by the school, led his classmates and went straight to the Beiyang warlord government with the petition team. In a conflict between the revolutionary party and the puppet troops, revolutionary comrades sacrificed 45 people. Even so, Luo Zhe still rushed forward. He was hit in the foot by a fake soldier, bleeding profusely, and was sent to school for treatment by his classmates. This incident is the 31tragedy that shocked the whole country. The famous writer Lu Xun called this day the darkest day in the history of the Republic of China.
After this dark day, Luo Zhe had a deeper and essential understanding of the collusion between the Beiyang warlord government and imperialism, which made his mind more and more clear about how to choose the future direction of struggle, and his sense of struggle against warlords became stronger and stronger. When he learned that Chairman Mao was in charge of the farm transport workshop in Guangzhou, he resolutely left Beijing, cured his foot injury and went to Guangzhou to be a teacher of the farm transport workshop. At that time, Chairman Mao introduced him to join the Party.
1927 In April, a "412" counter-revolutionary coup took place. In order to cope with the situation that may change at any time in the future, Luo Zhe and Cao Fangyun moved to Chairman Mao's residence for a period of time. During this period, Luo Zhe often stayed with Chairman Mao and others to discuss revolutionary issues with these revolutionary comrades. 1927 In May, it happened in Ma Ri incident, and the situation in Hunan was tense. In this case, Luo Zhe accepted Chairman Mao's arrangement and went to Changsha to work underground, while his wife Cao stayed. For Cao, Chairman Mao and Yang Kaihui are very concerned. They often go to Cao's residence to see if there is any place where she can help.
On one occasion, Chairman Mao and his wife happened to receive a letter from Luo Zhe in Changsha. Luo Zhe's letter told his wife Cao "study hard, especially don't eat more peppers." . Chairman Mao thought Luo Zhe's letter was very interesting, so he joked with Cao and said, "Do you want to call you You in the future?" . After that, Wang Jingwei defected. Under the instruction of Chairman Mao, Luo Zhe and Cao returned to China to take refuge. Until the autumn harvest uprising, Luo Zhe and Cao were asked to help him. At that time, Luo Zhe had a great responsibility, and Chairman Mao was very concerned about Luo Zhe's daily actions. Sometimes even in the middle of the night, he went to the door of Luo Zhe's house to ask about his safety. Until Chairman Mao heard Luo Zhe's answer, he could go back to his home and sleep peacefully. The two have deep feelings, as can be seen from this incident.
After the autumn harvest uprising, Luo Zhe and Cao and his wife rushed back to Xiangtan. Luo Zhe successively served as organization minister and secretary of the working committee in the organization. In order to work hard for the organization, Luo Zhe and Luo Xuezan held important positions in the organization and engaged in revolution together. Unfortunately, however, after Chairman Mao and Luo Zhe separated, they never met again.
1928 In July, Luo Zhe and Cao were arrested for betraying a traitor. After his arrest, the reactionaries severely punished Luo Zhe and tried to extract some information from the organization by torture. The trial lasted for 48 days, but Luo Zhe gritted his teeth and never said anything. When the reactionaries saw that Luo Zhe could not get into anything, they took Luo Zhe to the execution ground and killed him. On the way to the execution ground, Luo Zhe loudly insulted the reactionaries and called on the onlookers to unite and fight the reactionaries to the end. He was defeated by the reactionaries.
Even though he was beaten, Luo Zhe was still fearless. He still cursed the shameless behavior of the reactionaries. When punished on the execution ground, the reactionaries forced Luo Zhe to kneel. Unexpectedly, Luo Zhe jumped up and refused to kneel to the reactionaries. As a result, he was killed by reactionaries and died at the age of 26. Everyone felt sorry and indignant at the news of Luo Zhe's sacrifice. Compared with Luo Zhe, Cao Fangyun who was arrested with Luo Zhe was very lucky. Luo Zhe in prison has always insisted that his wife, Cao, is just an authentic housewife and will not take her with him at ordinary times. Cao was pregnant at that time, so he was free from torture. However, Cao is still being held in prison by reactionaries. She gave birth to a pair of twin daughters in prison, and was not rescued by the comrades of the organization until later.
Luo Zhe was only 26 when he died, so we can know that Cao was very young at that time. When Cao was rescued, it happened to be the low point of organizing all resistance activities, and everything was very depressed. Cao went to a strange Shanghai at that time, and soon lost contact and wandered around. Cao, who is alone, has no husband to rely on and takes care of two children alone. The situation is very difficult. After Cao married Mei Runhua, an underground party member, life was a little easier.
Luo Zhe died a long time ago, and Chairman Mao, who was in Yan 'an, learned of his death. He was very sad. He is very worried about Luo Zhe's widow Cao and a pair of children. He had inquired about their news in many ways, but unfortunately, there was a war at that time, but he could not get in touch with Cao. After liberation, the Chairman contacted Cao and sent him to 300 yuan to repair Luo Zhe's grave.
In Chairman Mao's letter to Cao, Chairman Mao and Cao even talked about their simplicity. Chairman Mao never mentioned this sad mood to their two sons in his letters to others, but he expressed this mood in his letters to Cao. It can also be seen from this incident that Chairman Mao and Luo Zhe have a good relationship. In this short message of more than 200 words, the most important sentence is: Luo Zhe has worked hard for the party, and I can testify that there was no other proof at that time.
Chairman Mao has always been a cautious man and never said much, but this time he was so sure. This is the first time he has testified for comrades as chairman. Chairman Mao's 20 words are the greatest affirmation to Comrade Luo Zhe. Without this sentence, the young man who died heroically at the age of 26 may not be known to the world. At the same time, these 20 words are not a comfort to Cao.
Her husband died so early that he didn't even leave her a photo. Not many people around her remember him. In the past few years, Cao didn't want to apply for martyr status for her husband, but she didn't have any documents. How can she explain what happened 28 years ago? In the face of Cao's reply, he burst into tears. The efforts and persistence of the past few decades seem to have been affirmed at this moment. It turns out that there are people in this world who remember what they and their husbands did in those years. These past events, like what happened yesterday, appeared in Cao's mind.
1June, 958, Cao came to Beijing with a pair of granddaughters to call on the chairman, and was warmly received by the chairman. This time, Cao played in Beijing for more than 20 days. The chairman likes her granddaughter very much and bought them new clothes. 1960, Cao went to Beijing again. This time, she took 13-year-old son Mei Kunsheng and looked at Cao's energetic son. The chairman is very happy. This is the beginning of the article. The chairman asked Cao for his "son". Meeting the chairman has also become something that Mei Kunsheng will remember all his life. To Mei Kun's surprise, the chairman quietly asked him if the crops on the road were growing well and what was sold in the market in his hometown. This surprised Mei Kunsheng at that time. When he grew up, Mei Kunsheng knew that it was the hope of the chairman to hear the truth from the children.
Years are like songs, and glory is immortal. In the hometown of the martyr Luo Zhe, there have been stories of heroes. Inspire and alert the later generations with the red memory of blood condensation. Tan Jun, the grandson of the martyr Luo Zhe, said that Chairman Mao met my grandmother twice and wrote the sentence "Struggle for socialism", which has always been in our hearts, and we are also struggling for the construction of our hometown.
It has been more than 50 years since Luo Zhe died. His blood and the blood of countless martyrs merged into a torrent, which washed away the thick wall of reaction for thousands of years, drowned the counter-revolution, opened up the broad road of socialism, and constantly inspired me and his descendants to forge ahead courageously.
