Westinghouse slogan

196 1 03 16, General Chen Geng was treated in a Shanghai hospital. He had a premonition that his time was running out. Before he died, he called his wife Fu Ya and said to her, "I'm afraid you can't stand two things. First, I'm dying! Second, your menopause is not good! " Chen Geng squeezed out a smile and always insisted on his humorous nature: "Your hair turned white as soon as you brushed it!"

Chen Geng wanted Fu Ya to relax, but he couldn't bear to be too sad, and Fu Ya's tears kept falling.

The year Chen Geng left, Fu Ya was 43 years old.

2 1 years ago, Chen Geng and Fu Ya met for the first time, and he also attracted Fu Ya's attention with such a naughty tone.

1940, Fu Ya's art troupe went to the anti-Japanese front to perform. In panlong town, Wuxiang County, Shaanxi Province, she and the female team members went to borrow props from Wang Zhitao, the discipline minister of the Anti-Japanese University, and happened to meet Chen Geng who was recovering there. Fu Ya overheard Chen Geng joking with his comrades around him: "When I was injured in Huichang Battle, I really wanted to shoot myself. Thinking that he is still young and still alive to fight for capitalism, he will play dead ... "

Fu Ya couldn't help looking at Chen Geng. Chen Geng is handsome and uninhibited, he can talk and laugh at any time and place, and he is smart and humorous. There are no obstacles in front of him. Speaking of fighting bloody battles, he still maintained "Chen Geng's humor". Chen Yi once said that Chen Geng is a piece of glass, which can be seen clearly from the inside out. He also said that Chen Geng is a magnet, funny and optimistic, and can unite everyone to make revolution.

This is the first time that Fu Ya has met Chen Geng. Chen Geng's simple, frank and generous temperament left a deep impression on Fu Ya. When Chen Geng first met Fu Ya, it was love at first sight.

Fu Ya later learned that this was actually arranged by Wang Zhitao and his wife Jason Wu. At that time, Chen Geng was recovering from illness, and Wang Zhitao asked him how he was doing. Chen Geng thinks everything is fine, except for the lack of a wife. Jason Wu, a classmate of Fu Ya, arranged this "borrowing prop" in order to give two people a chance to get to know each other.

From then on, Chen Geng began to attack Fu Ya. He didn't go to Fu Ya directly, but went to all his comrades who were close to Fu Ya to do the work and let them say how good Chen Geng was in front of Fu Ya.

Fu Ya suddenly felt that people around him were talking about the bright future of Chen Geng, which was really heard. Cautious Fu Ya can guess the reason.

Fu Ya thinks that Chen Geng will be a good marriage partner. He went to a military school and has cultural literacy; Worked in the urban white area, not moved by wine and color; Has been arrested and has not wavered; Fight, not afraid of sacrifice; Especially his wife, martyr Wang Genying, said that he would keep this festival for three years. As he said, Fu Ya can feel Chen Geng's loyalty to love.

1on March 8th, 939, Chen Geng's wife, Wang Genying, was killed by an enemy bayonet in an anti-mopping-up struggle. Always fearless of any danger, Chen Geng, who was optimistic and lively, became reticent. He poured his hatred of losing his wife into the battle and fought one beautiful battle after another. As a result, when the Japanese attacked and retaliated against the Eighth Route Army, they posted a special slogan on their armored vehicles-"Specially hit the 386 Brigade".

Chen Geng's comrades around all hope that he can find a suitable girl as soon as possible and start his life again.

That day, Fu Yagang finished the play, and Chen Geng asked her to meet alone. He said sincerely, "I have many friends, boyfriends and girlfriends." Would you like to be my girlfriend? "

Fu Ya politely refused Chen Geng, because Fu Ya actually had a fiance in his hometown, that is, his cousin. Chen Geng didn't force Fu Ya, but reminded Fu Ya that "political direction" was very important.

This sentence is exactly what Fu Ya wants.

Fu Ya began to participate in anti-Japanese demonstrations and fund-raising when he was in middle school. His family has always been very opposed. Fu Ya went to Yan 'an with a younger brother and a younger sister regardless of his family's views. Her original name was Fu Huiying, and later it was changed to Fu Ya. At that time, young people who came to Kangda to study changed their names so as not to bring trouble to their families in the Kuomintang-controlled areas.

Fu Ya was very fashionable and enthusiastic when she was young. She came to Yan 'an cave from a big city, and her living conditions were very different, but she survived without saying a word. She loves revolution and saving the country. What does her fiance think?

Fu Ya wrote a letter to her fiance, hoping that he could come to Yan 'an together, but he refused. Fu Ya has some resistance to consanguineous marriage. Her brother gave birth to two dumb children in succession because of the marriage of close relatives. Fu Ya finally decided to give up his parents' engagement and chose like-minded Chen Geng.

The love between Chen Geng and Fu Ya has not experienced many twists and turns. Both of them are honest people, attracted to each other and have the same ideal. Before getting married, Chen Geng and Fu Ya agreed to support Fu Ya's career, not to transfer Fu Ya to her side to work, and really love her forever.

1943 In February, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping decided to vacate a Westinghouse in the headquarters as a new house for Chen Geng and Fu Ya, and let them do a good job quickly.

At the wedding, Fu sang a Soviet folk song. Chen Geng was always happy and told jokes to everyone. Luo Ruiqing, director of the General Political Department, said to Chen Geng privately, "You have found a good man."

After the marriage, Fu Ya only lived in the headquarters compound for a few days, then moved to a farmhouse in nearby Shuangqu Village to continue working, and sometimes came back after ten days. Chen Geng never hides his thoughts of Fu Ya. As long as he has time, he will wait by the river near the station. When someone asked him, he just said to pick up his wife.

Compared with Chen Geng, Fu Ya is more reserved. In order to control his feelings and work better, Fu Ya quickly put away Chen Geng's letter and tried not to open it. Every time he leaves Chen Geng, Fu Ya sends Chen Geng a diary. Chen Geng has the habit of keeping a diary, which will be kept by Fu Ya.

1945, Zhijian, a child from Chen Geng and Fu Ya, was born. At that time, Chen Geng and his wife were in Yan 'an, and the conditions were still very difficult. When Fu Ya was confined, Chen Geng only had some milk and sugar specially provided. Chen Geng loathe to give up his wife, to pick up briquettes, in exchange for some money, bought rice to cook porridge for Fu Ya. He asked for help everywhere and found a small pot of honey for Fu Ya. At that time, there were several old ladies in Yan 'an who knew Chen Geng and his wife very well. There are red dates and brown sugar in the caves of Chen Shaomin of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. Chen Geng secretly got some while they were away. As a result, just after he got it, Chen Shaomin came back. Everyone knows that Chen Geng is playing tricks on his wife, laughing at him and giving him red dates and brown sugar.

Before long, Chen Geng went to the front again, and Fu Ya hadn't seen Chen Geng for a long time. In the battle of Luoyang, Fu Ya took Zhijian all the way to find Chen Geng. Because the separation time is too long, Zhijian sees that Chen Geng doesn't know him anymore. He shouted "Where did this uncle come from" and kicked Chen Geng under the bed. A family of three haven't had a good meal, Chen Geng advised Fu Ya to hurry back. It turned out that when the war was in full swing, Fu Ya came and other family members would want to come. In order to support Chen Geng's work, Fu Ya immediately packed his things and took his son back.

Chen Geng has been marching, even without a fixed address, and communication is very difficult. Every time I receive a letter from Fu Ya, Chen Geng gets a treasure. He read it several times and took it with him. 195 1 year, the Korean front, Fu Ya sent a letter to Chen Geng. He read it several times and said that Fu Ya's letter made him "half a month's anxiety go up in smoke". When others laughed at him, he replied, "I am very happy when others laugh at me for being stupid."

With their own son, although Fu Ya and Chen Geng are separated, their hearts are still happy and complete. Apart from the war, what the couple are most worried about is that they have never heard from each other.

Zhifei is the son of Chen Geng and his first wife, Wang Genying. At the end of 1933, Wang Genying was arrested and imprisoned. Zhifei is only 4 years old. He cried with fear when he learned that his mother had been taken away by a spy. In the evening, little zhifei, who was used to sleeping with his mother, waited for her to come back and cried until midnight.

Knowing that Fei Ming had the best parents, his childhood was shrouded in hunger and fear. He has been living with his grandmother and uncle, and his family loves him very much. During the war years, the common people didn't eat a meal, but only ate porridge three times a day.

At the age of seven, zhifei was sent to primary school by his uncle, and soon he lost his job, so zhifei had to drop out of school. In order to make a living, zhifei had to be a newsboy. At 4 o'clock every day, he gets up and goes to the newspaper wholesale point to get 50 newspapers. No matter whether it is cold winter or hot summer, he wears shabby clothes and sells them on the street. He earns a few cents a day, which is often the living expenses of his family. Grandma has always comforted me that as long as mom and dad come back, he won't have to support his family at an early age. Zhifei had been waiting, and later he became a shoeshine boy.

1946, Chen Geng was appointed commander of Taiyue Military Region. Under his repeated entrustment, the Shanghai underground organization finally found Chen Zhifei. At that time, Chen Zhifei was 0/7 years old. They told Chen Zhifei's grandmother and uncle the news of Wang Genying's murder, and offered to bring Chen Zhifei back to his father.

The father found it, and the family was of course happy to know what was going on; Wang Genying passed away, and the family couldn't help but grieve. In this ambivalent mood, zhifei went to Shaanxi accompanied by her aunt. They passed through more than a dozen traffic stations and finally found their father Chen Geng's residence in Yunyang Taiyue Military Region. Chen Geng was not at home that day, so the comrades handed zhifei to Fu Ya.

This is the first time that zhifei has met his stepmother. He just accepted the fact that his mother died, and he must be uneasy at the thought of meeting Fu Ya. Fu Ya heard something outside and came out with his son Zhijian in his arms. She was so happy that she immediately killed a chicken for zhifei to eat.

A few days later, Chen Geng came back, and Fu Ya stood at the door and told him to come in quickly. On entering the room, he saw his eldest son, who was almost as tall as himself, and couldn't help crying. In the evening, the father and son slept on a kang and talked all night. Chen Zhifei can't understand the northern dialect. When Chen Geng was doing underground work in Shanghai, he deliberately studied Shanghai dialect and spoke it very idiomatically. Chen Geng talked with Comrade Fei in Shanghainese, and the gap between zhifei and his father for many years immediately disappeared.

Chen Geng told zhifei the story of Wang Genying's sacrifice and told her that Wang Genying's photo was hung at the seventh Party Congress in Yan 'an. A few days later, Chen Geng asked his son what he wanted to do, and he said without hesitation that he wanted to be a soldier. Chen Geng personally wrote to Cheng, president of North China University (predecessor of Renmin University) and sent him to study at North China University. Chen Zhifei can't keep up. Teachers and classmates all know that he is a martyr's child and are making up lessons for him. A year later, he has caught up with the progress.

Chen Zhifei lost his mother, and Fu Ya always loved him like his own son. Chen Geng and Fu Ya have four children, and Chen Zhifei is their respected eldest brother. Fu Ya still misses her old mother in her hometown of Wang Genying. She will mail the living expenses to the old man every month until he dies. There are few girls at home. Chen Zhifei's first child born after marriage is a girl. Chen Geng was dancing and saying "I am grandpa" several times.

1957, Chen Geng was hospitalized with myocardial infarction, and many veterans came to see him. He told his comrades that one of his wishes was to return to Taiyue District to see the villagers there and thank them for their kindness in raising them in those hard years, but at that time, he was unwell and the doctor did not allow him to travel far. Comrades suggested that when he was better, he could go back in a sleeper. Chen Geng shook his head. "I don't want to go home dressed. If I want to go, I will go back and share joys and sorrows with my fellow villagers, just like in the war years. " Because of this disease, Chen Geng never had a chance to visit the villagers in Taiyue District.

1959, Chen Geng suffered another myocardial infarction. At that time, he felt that his time was running out. The administrative department wanted to build him a house, but he refused and added furniture. He doesn't agree either. He insisted that Fu Ya should not join the army and that she would not be the director of the office. He also repeatedly stressed that children should never be picked up by bus.

196 1 year, Chen Geng came to Shanghai on business, and the myocardial infarction recurred again. Fu Ya received a notice from the organization, asking her to take a vacation immediately to accompany Chen Geng to treat the disease. As soon as Fu Ya arrived in Shanghai, Chen Geng called the first secretary of the municipal party committee and demanded that Fu Ya be arranged immediately. In the last few days of Chen Geng's life, Fu Ya was busy with the investigation and study in Xuhui District, and had little time to take care of Chen Geng.

Chen Geng usually wears a soldier's uniform at home, and only wears a cadre's uniform when he goes out. One year before his death, Chen Geng kept touching his chest because of chest pain. After a long time, his clothes and chest were torn.

1961March 15, the day before Chen Geng died, Fu Ya entered the ward, and Chen Geng said to her, "Fu Ya, it's my birthday, please roll me some noodles to eat." Chen Geng never has a birthday at home. This is the first time, the last time and the only time.

Chen Geng's teeth rattled when he was seriously ill and in pain. Nevertheless, he is still humorous and cheerful, joking with his wife. Soon, Chen Zhifei and his brothers and sisters came to Shanghai. They looked at their father in a neat general's uniform and his face was calm.

Chen Geng was only 58 years old when he went, and he would never giggle at Fu Ya again, nor would he joke with his child in his arms. Zhou Enlai beat his knees and said, "He is only 58 years old. Why did he leave us so early ... "

Many years later, Chen Zhifei mentioned his father's death with great regret: "At that time, there were no crown-expanding drugs such as nitroglycerin. If we put it aside now, we can put a stent in the coronary artery of the heart and do bypass surgery. " Chen Geng, the founding general, was at the front all the year round. During the war, he may not be able to lie down and sleep for days and nights. Chen Geng has several large and small scars, and Fu Ya's eyes are moist every time he mentions them. They got the stability of the country with a whole body injury, and China's medicine could develop conditionally, but they died before the day when medicine developed and enjoyed the revolutionary achievements.

When Chen Geng left, Fu Ya was 43 years old and their youngest child was only 5 years old. Fu Ya was seriously ill, and before he recovered, he began to sort out Chen Geng's manuscripts. Those diaries that Chen Geng gave her with her when she marched were often wet when crossing the river, and Fu Ya basked in them several times. Looking back now, the paper has become brittle and yellow, and the handwriting has become blurred, but this is the only memory Chen Geng left for Fu Ya. She can only read these words and mourn.

In 1980s and 1990s, in order to write a biography of Chen Geng, Fu Ya interviewed Mu Xin, editor-in-chief of Guangming Daily, and almost visited Chen Geng's former comrades. Fu Ya took a small tape recorder with him. After he came back, he sorted out the words on the tape recorder and wrote down the most complete information word by word. When Chen Geng was alive, he didn't spend much time with Fu Ya because of his work, and Chen Geng seldom talked with Fu Ya about his work. Fu Ya didn't really know Chen Geng until he sorted out his life works and visited his comrades-in-arms, so he respected and missed him more.

When Chen Geng left, children were the last thing he wanted. He and Fu Ya's four children are underage. Fu Ya worked hard to raise her children and never remarried.

20 1 1 1, Fu Ya died in Beijing. She made a special will before her death, hoping to move General Chen Geng's cemetery out of Babaoshan Cemetery and let Chen Geng be buried with Wang Genying martyrs.

20 1 1 In March, Chen Geng's descendants buried the body of Wang Genying martyr in Xiangxiang, Hunan, Chen Geng's hometown. The loving couple finally reunited after decades of separation.

The love between Chen Geng and his wife is a legend in the war, which touched countless people. Chen Geng married his first wife, Wang Genying, for three years. He is very fond of his second wife, Fu Yafei. He was happy for a long time when he received the letter, but he never left his wife with him. One is a vigorous love of life and death, and the other is a faithful love of flowing water.
