Qiao Guanhua passed away in 1983. Before his death, he wished to be buried together with his wife. Why did Zhang Hanzhi refuse?

At 10 a.m. on November 15, 1971, under the guidance of Director of the Protocol Department of the United Nations Corlay, Qiao Guanhua, then Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, led the Chinese delegation to appear at the United Nations meeting with their heads held high. Go straight to the lobby and go behind the sign with the word "CHINA" written on it.

It turns out that a month ago, 23 countries, including Albania and Tanzania’s representative Salim, put forward a proposal to “restore the legitimate rights of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations” . After the proposal was passed, New China was able to return to the United Nations.

But in 1983, Qiao Guanhua was seriously ill. On his deathbed, Qiao Guanhua called his wife Zhang Hanzhi and asked worriedly: "Hanzhi, are you willing to be buried with me?" Before his wife could say anything, , Qiao Guanhua fell into a deep sleep.

In the end, Zhang Hanzhi remained a widow for her husband for 25 years, but failed to fulfill her husband's last wish. Why is this?

On March 28, 1913, Qiao Guanhua was born into a landlord family in Dongqiaozhuang, Yancheng County, Jiangsu Province. Although his father was a landlord, he was very liberal and would often spend some money to support tenant farmers.

In 1919, his father asked his younger brother Qiao Shouqing to teach his children. Qiao Shouqing soon discovered Qiao Guanhua's photographic memory and valued him very much.

Although Qiao Guanhua is good at reading, he is a naughty "little devil". Qiao Guanhua's third brother-in-law often preyed on the common people and treated his sister very badly, so he wanted to find an opportunity to prank his brother-in-law.

One morning, Qiao Guanhua found a rotten dead snake on the roadside. Seeing no one around, Qiao Guanhua hid the dead snake behind him and ran to his brother-in-law to pretend to please him. Just as his brother-in-law burst out laughing, At this moment, Qiao Guanhua stabbed the snake directly into his brother-in-law's face. The brother-in-law was so frightened that he jumped out of the chair and fell directly to the ground, trembling.

After graduating from high school in 1929, he was admitted to the philosophy department of Tsinghua University and became the youngest student in his class. He was only 16 years old that year. After graduation, he went to Japan alone to study philosophy at Tokyo Imperial University and participated in the revolutionary movement.

However, the international environment at that time was changing rapidly. Qiao Guanhua's close ties with a political party in Japan attracted the attention of the Japanese government, and he was eventually deported and repatriated to his country.

In 1935, Qiao Guanhua received funding and got the opportunity to study at the University of Tübingen in Germany, where he came into contact with Marxism. A year later, Qiao Guanhua received a doctorate in philosophy.

After the "July 7th Incident" broke out, Qiao Guanhua saw the evil intentions of the Japanese army and resolutely gave up his superior life in Germany and returned to his hometown thousands of miles away.

In May 1940, Germany and France were at war. For a month, Germany was resisted by the Maginot Line and did not dare to move forward. At this time, there were cheerful voices in France. Atmosphere, they firmly believe that their great French Third Republic is prosperous and waiting for them.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. The scholar next to him concealed his ridicule, preparing to watch Qiao Guanhua's joke in three days.

Three days later, France did surrender. The German army bypassed the Maginot Line and headed straight for Paris. Seeing that the French government had no choice but to surrender, the German Nazi flag flew over Paris.

Afterwards, in order to support his argument, Qiao Guanhua published an article titled "The Collapse of France". His article was sharp and precise, and it actually caught the attention of Chairman Mao.

Qiao Guanhua was only 27 years old at the time.

Qiao Guanhua knew that he was not good at fighting the enemy on the front line, so he decided to use his pen as a gun to crush the arrogance of the invaders, just like Mr. Lu Xun.

Since he became the editor-in-chief of the "Evening News", he has frequently published articles on international hot topics and support for the Anti-Japanese War. During this period, he published his masterpieces: "Stalin's Generous Moves" and " Stalin's generosity" and other popular articles.

And he gained a large number of loyal fans by virtue of the pen name "Qiao Mu". Among these fans, there are two people who have the greatest influence on him, one is his first wife Gong Peng, and the other It is Mao Zedong, the leader of the Chinese people.

Once Chairman Mao and his friends accidentally chatted about Qiao Mu, Chairman Mao suddenly smiled:

In 1939, Qiao Guanhua officially joined China* under the introduction of Liao Chengzhi* He joined the Communist Party and worked with Premier Zhou for more than thirty years.

Qiao Guanhua also recognized Gong Peng and married her as his wife.

In the autumn of 1942, Qiao Guanhua came to Chongqing alone and served as the international news editor of Chongqing Xinhua Daily, where he met his true love Gong Peng.

Gong Peng’s father is Mr. Gong Zhenzhou, the founding father of the Tongmenghui. The old man previously served in the Army’s 35th Brigade and was praised as the “Iron-Blooded General”. And he personally taught his beloved daughter Gong Peng her lessons, cultivated her patriotic ideas, and advocated for her to participate in the revolution.

In 1936, when Qiao Guanhua was still studying in Germany, she quietly joined the Communist Party of China because she did not dare to tell him about her father's identity.

But his father Gong Zhenzhou saw Mao'er's nuisance. He called his daughter to him and said earnestly:

Before meeting Qiao Guanhua, Gong Peng had a relationship. She met Liu Wenhua in 1938, developed a good impression during the revolution, and got together under the guidance of Mr. Peng.

It is a pity that Mr. Liu Wenhua passed away unexpectedly. Before leaving, he wrote a suicide note to his wife: "My wife, I miss you very much. If anything happens to me, I will ask you to remarry, as long as you don't break up." Revolution, you will always be worthy of me..."

In April 1943, Qiao Guanhua lay in bed curled up and turning over due to peritonitis. The heartbreaking pain made him cry and moan loudly.

Gong Peng opened the door after hearing the sound. Seeing that his face was pale, Gong Peng hurried to Qixinggang and invited Li Hao, a surgeon from the Civil Hospital.

After Li Hao arrived, he found that Qiao Guanhua was suffering from acute diffuse peritonitis and had to prepare for surgery immediately. He and Gong Peng hurriedly put him on a stretcher and sent him to the Civil Hospital for rescue. They asked the director of surgery, Liang Shufang, to perform the surgery himself to save Qiao Guanhua.

After hearing the news, Premier Zhou came to see Qiao Guanhua's condition and brought precious penicillin with him.

After Premier Zhou saw Qiao Guanhua and Gong Peng, he felt that they were a good match. After deliberately bringing them together, he said to Gong Peng: "You should take more care of Qiao Guanhua. He needs you recently." . ”

After going back and forth, Qiao Guanhua and Gong Peng gradually became familiar with each other, and they also fell in love with each other. However, because of Gong Peng’s deceased father, Gong Peng did not dare to express his feelings.

But their friends Feng Yidai and his wife had already discovered that they were secretly in love, so they did ideological work for them and even invited Premier Zhou to personally mediate.

One day, Qiao Guanhua and Gong Peng came to Premier Zhou's office. After being busy with business, Premier Zhou suddenly said: "How long do you plan to delay this?"

Hearing this, Gong Peng naturally understood what Premier Zhou was thinking. Her little face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head in shyness, as if she wanted to hide in a crack in the ground.

Qiao Guanhua was also very uncomfortable at this time. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he could only take out the cigarette case in his clothes, tremblingly picked up a cigarette, and before he could light it, he noticed When Premier Zhou saw a "No Smoking" sign in front of his desk, he could only carefully put the cigarette back into his pocket.

Seeing Qiao Guanhua looking so embarrassed, Gong Peng beside her couldn't help but laugh. She said to Premier Zhou: "'Westerners' don't smoke, so this kind of emotion can't help but laugh." "I'm in a slump."

Hearing Gong Peng's ridicule to Qiao Guanhua, Premier Zhou could no longer hold back his smile. He said happily: "Smoking is prohibited here, but I Marriage is not prohibited, you can discuss getting married."

With the help of Premier Zhou, the two finally officially got married in November 1943. Due to material difficulties at the time, the two did not hold a wedding. Come together peacefully.

At this time, a guard came from outside, carrying a square red silk and placed it on their table. Qiao Guanhua was very happy to receive the gift and quickly opened the quilt to cut it.

But when he opened it, he couldn't stop crying. He saw the autographs of Zhou Enlai, Dong Biwu, Deng Yingchao and others on the quilt, as well as their best wishes to the couple.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Qiao Guanhua and Gong Peng were highly used. They even went to North Korea to negotiate with Li Kenong in person on the Korean battlefield, and made many contributions to our country.

However, after May 1970, his wife Gong Peng's physical condition was not as good as before due to long-term overwork, and she had to struggle to survive with bottles of pills every day. , and Qiao Guanhua could not always be with him due to national affairs, so he could only bring her some gifts after going out.

Once when Gong Peng was entertaining long-time friends, he suddenly fell to the ground and could not move. Seeing that his wife was in trouble, Qiao Guanhua immediately sent him to the hospital for rescue, and was eventually diagnosed with a ruptured cerebral artery.

After learning the news, Premier Zhou immediately convened a rescue team to perform brain surgery on Gong Peng. However, it is not that simple to perform surgery on the head. In the end, Gong Peng was pronounced dead because of ineffective rescue efforts.

On September 29, 1970, Gong Peng, who was only 56 years old, died of illness in the hospital. Qiao Guanhua was sitting next to the hospital bed, holding his late wife's hands tightly, unable to let go.

Qiao Guanhua and Gong Peng have been together for more than 20 years. They are very happy in life and work. But now that his wife has died of illness, Qiao Guanhua doesn’t know what to do. He can only look at Gong Peng after get off work every day. Peng cried over the photos until late at night.

At this moment, a little girl walked into his life, bringing joy for the rest of his life. This person's name was Zhang Hanzhi.

Zhang Hanzhi’s mother is named Tan Xuequing. She was once a salesperson at the Kang Kering pen counter of Yong’an Company. She was called Kang Kering Xishi because of her outstanding appearance; his father is the son of the warlord Chen Tiaoyuan. Her parents got pregnant out of wedlock and never got married because her mother didn't want to be a concubine.

After Zhang Hanzhi was born, his father was only willing to pay child support. Tan Xueqing was furious and wanted to give Zhang Hanzhi to a rickshaw driver to raise.

Fortunately, Zhang Shizhao intervened and adopted the girl, naming her Zhang Hanzhi.

On December 26, 1963, Chairman Mao invited Zhang Shizhao and many other friends to attend his seventieth birthday. Zhang Shizhao brought his adopted daughter Zhang Hanzhi with him.

During the meal, Chairman Mao learned that Zhang Hanzhi was teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. Chairman Mao felt that New China would have to contact European and American countries in the future, so he said to Zhang Hanzhi:

Zhang Hanzhi said: When she heard that she wanted to be Chairman Mao's teacher, her heart was beating fast. She responded nervously: "Chairman Mao, how can I be your teacher? You are the teacher of all of us."

But Chairman Mao did not give up. On the contrary, he talked about the matter many times. Soon after, Zhang Hanzhi became Chairman Mao's English teacher for half a year.

In 1971, Chairman Mao named Zhang Hanzhi to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her immediate boss was Qiao Guanhua, and at this time, Qiao Guanhua was at an emotional low.

On October 25, 1971, the "Two Arab Proposals" on "restoring the legitimate rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations" were announced and the Chinese delegation was invited to attend.

Chairman Mao ordered Qiao Guanhua to serve as the head of the delegation and lead Zhang Hanzhi and others to attend.

Before departure, Qiao Guanhua held a delegation establishment meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss many matters for the trip. However, Zhang Hanzhi was delayed due to handling matters and was late on the first day.

Zhang Hanzhi had just arrived in the conference room, and Qiao Guanhua was letting everyone get to know each other and introduce his names.

Just as Zhang Hanzhi stood up and was about to speak, Qiao Guanhua asked angrily: "Are you Zhang Hanzhi? Mr. Zhang Xing's daughter?"

Zhang Hanzhi saw Qiao Guanhua's face filled with anger. , said very uneasily: "Yes... yes."

At this time, Qiao Guanhua said loudly: "You are the one who took the "Liu Wen Zhi Yao" that Mr. Xing gave me!"

It turned out that Zhang Hanzhi's father asked his daughter to hand over the "Liu Wen Zhi Yao" he had revised to Qiao Guanhua. However, at that time, Zhang Hanzhi had just joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was afraid of attracting criticism, so he put the book in his office.

On November 12, the Chinese delegation came to the United States. Since Qiao Guanhua's translator had an important task, Zhang Hanzhi became Qiao Guanhua's translator.

At this time, Qiao Guanhua was meeting with United Nations Secretary-General U Thant, but because Zhang Hanzhi was temporarily transferred, some military bases and other aspects were not clearly translated, making the meeting very slow.

Due to the seriousness of the matter, Qiao Guanhua immediately said: "Why can't you figure it out? Forget it, I don't want you to translate. Old Xiong (Xiong Xianghui) please do me a favor."

Zhang Hanzhi hurriedly explained: "I was transferred here temporarily..."

But Qiao Guanhua was busy with work and said impatiently: "I don't have time to explain to you now."

As a result, the relationship between the two fell into a freezing point.

Zhang Hanzhi was not feeling well at this time. In addition to the difficulties at work, there were also problems in her marriage. Zhang Hanzhi's husband is Hong Junyan, a talented scholar from Peking University. After Zhang Hanzhi gave birth to a child, Hong Junyan began to have an affair.

After Chairman Mao learned the news, he persuaded her: "Teacher Zhang, I want to criticize you. You are so worthless! You don't liberate yourself because of your face! Your men have already run away. "Why don't you get a divorce?"

Zhang Hanzhi burst into tears after being taught by Chairman Mao, and he went home to formally divorce his husband.

Without the burden in life, Zhang Hanzhi has also improved at work.

In 1972, Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi visited Pakistan together. After the meeting, Zhang Hanzhi compiled the minutes and handed them to Qiao Guanhua.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Hanzhi saw the tired side of Qiao Guanhua, who was slumped on the sofa. Seeing Zhang Hanzhi, Qiao Guanhua suddenly said: "I know you have a problem with me. I am very pitiful. Please don't be angry with me."

After saying this, Qiao Guanhua took a deep breath and said Musing on the sofa.

Over time, Zhang Hanzhi got to know Qiao Guanhua better and better, and married this man who was 22 years old.

Before his death in September 1983, Qiao Guanhua asked his wife: "Hanzhi, would you like to be buried with me?" Before his wife could answer, Qiao Guanhua closed his eyes forever.

After Qiao Guanhua left, Zhang Hanzhi lived alone for 25 years. During this period, a friend advised her: "Do you want to accept another relationship?"

Zhang Hanzhi replied: "Love There is no regret. I have experienced the sea before and it is impossible to swim in the stream.

”

On January 26, 2008, Zhang Hanzhi left a will on whether to be buried together:

Zhang Hanzhi’s daughter Hong Huang was very confused and didn’t know why her mother was unwilling to be buried with Qiao. The uncle was buried together.

The head nurse who had been taking care of her mother replied: "She went to another world and no longer wants to have the right and wrong of this world..."
