love story
Chen Yi met his wife Jess Zhang in the war-torn War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. At that time, Jess Zhang was the New Fourth Army.
Rola Chen, the actor of Service Corps, fell in love with Jess Zhang, who was quiet and delicate, at first sight, but Jess Zhang felt it was inappropriate. However, in the long-term combat life, Jess Zhang gradually learned about Chen Yi's resume, political achievements, popularity and personality, especially her reading of Chen Yi's Meiling Poetry. As a result, a pair of anti-Japanese people fell in love during the battle and talked happily. Chen Yi opened his heart to talk about his fighting experience and suffering. Chen Yi's aboveboard bearing deeply touched Jess Zhang's heart, and the distance between them narrowed.
Soon, Jess Zhang received a love poem written by Chen Yi: Spring is like a fool, ashamed of me. Where is the pride of 20 years? I didn't know when I lost to the red side.
Jess Zhang felt extremely happy. She was glad that after the test of blood and fire, she finally found a friend who forgot her childhood on a warm spring night in southern Anhui, and she was determined to make a life-and-death friendship with Chen Yi. Their love life was vividly reflected in Jess Zhang's later letter to Chen Yi: whenever the moonlight hangs in the sky on a clear night, I can't help but indulge in memories and recall the past. I remember the first love in southern Anhui: the initial narrative of Tiankun Dapen Village, a long talk in a small room for 8 hours, and the moonlit night when you sent me back to the department. And that night when you wrapped me in your coat and sent me back to Jiangnan station. Many days after marriage are so sweet! I still remember you wrote a lyric article called Moonlit Night. Unfortunately, none of these letters have survived. How nice it would be for our sons to see what their parents did when they were young when they grew up!
1940 In February, Chen Yi and Jess Zhang got married in Shuixi Village, Liyang County, Jiangsu Province, where the Jiangnan headquarters of the New Fourth Army was stationed.
Jess Zhang successively served as the propaganda officer of Central China Branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University and the political instructor of the Ministry of Health of the New Fourth Army. 1May 1942 and1September 1943, Su Hao and Dan Huai were born. They were busy with their work and took care of their two sons.
As the commander of the East China Field Army, Chen Yi took time out of his busy schedule in central Anhui on April 5 1949 to write to Jess Zhang: "I am now transferred from Bengbu to Hefei, with golden cauliflower and rice fields, and the scenery in the south is lovely. Living in the north for many years, I can't help feeling fresh. Since you are a medical missionary, you want to work hard, but you want to take care of three more children. I can't have both. Everything depends on you. I'm busy working in the south. I often have meetings, write documents and talk, and I hardly have much rest time. If I have a little spare time, I think it's better for you to come to my side, and I'm sorry that you don't go south with me. Fortunately, the victory will be quick. I hope that after Nanjing is paved, the train will get through, that is, I hope you can see the three children going south soon. Otherwise for many years, there will be no wife, no wife, no son, no parents, no parents. Please take care of yourself. You eat too little. Come and see the baby's father when you are fat! "
Loving husband and wife, deep affection between father and son, moved Jess Zhang to tears. The tension and fatigue of work, the bitterness and fatigue of raising three children, were suddenly swept away.
After the liberation of Shanghai, their family of five finally got together. However, as the wife of a senior cadre, Jess Zhang did not relax her demands on herself and studied English and Russian hard. He has been edited by People's Literature Publishing House and Foreign Cultural Liaison Committee, and translated and published the novel collection "Original Sand" by Soviet writer Zuirafimovich and Li Ang's long play "Ordinary People".
During the ten years of civil strife, whether criticized or relegated, Chen Yi got spiritual comfort from Jess Zhang. Whether in exile or terminally ill, he is accompanied and cared for by Mr. Zhang. Less than half a year after the Ninth National Congress, Chen Yi was exiled to Shijiazhuang, and all the treatment he used to enjoy was cancelled. Jess Zhang cooks and washes his own clothes, and takes good care of Rola Chen in life. At this time, although Chen Yi felt unwell, the health care measures had been completely withdrawn. During several months working in a pharmaceutical factory, Jess Zhang made great progress in pharmacology with his intelligence and studious spirit.
Chen Yi's abdominal pain is getting worse every day. Jess Zhang is very worried. He wrote to Premier Zhou Enlai to report his illness. So, after a year in exile, Jess Zhang accompanied Chen Yi back to Beijing for treatment. However, Chen Yi's intestinal cancer has reached the advanced stage, and Jess Zhang was depressed, miserable and suffering from cancer during the whole year of nursing. She cheered up and comforted Chen Yi as much as possible to alleviate her serious illness. On the deathbed of Chen Yi, Jess Zhang specially hung up Qi Baishi's 1936 Chen Yi's "To Comrades" and brought it to his bedside: How safe is his life after 20 years of right and wrong? Don't say that clouds will eventually cover the sun, and winter will be full of spring buds.
At the same time, Jess Zhang also wrote a poem of condolence: Undoubtedly, there is no way out, and there is another village. The journey of life is full of dangers, and it is easy to resist diseases.
At this tragic moment of bereavement, Jess Zhang was "not overwhelmed by grief, nor intimidated by the trend of malignant diseases". In accordance with Chen Yi's wishes, he set about sorting out his legacy. During her serious illness, she edited Chen Yi's Poems in less than a year, and wrote a preface with pertinent comments, which became a tearful two-chapter poem. However, every day is a holiday, and she has been unable to finish sorting out Rola Chen's other roles. Therefore, she entrusted this work, which is more important than her own life, to her children.
