Zhou Enlai's childhood story

Our biological mother has a nice name: Wan.

1877, Zhang Yin, the wife of Wan Qingxuan in Qinghe County, was born in winter and gave birth to a daughter named Wan. And because it ranks twelfth, it is called twelve aunts. Wan Tung-erh is smart and beautiful, cheerful and strong-willed, and is deeply loved by Grandpa Wan.

At that time, in Qinghe County, when Mr. Wan went out to visit friends and handle government affairs, there was a small sedan chair behind the green sedan chair, in which was his beloved daughter Wan. This was well known in Qinghe county at that time: Mr. Wan took his beloved daughter with him everywhere. The official sedan chair followed by a small sedan chair has almost become a scene in Qinghe County.

Zhou Shaogang and Wan

Dong Er is very clever and considerate. When her father is dealing with government affairs or meeting guests, she usually doesn't make trouble or play, but mostly listens quietly with her eyes wide open, like an adult. She has learned a lot of skills in dealing with affairs since she was a child, and she is becoming more and more sophisticated.

Dong Er has a personality since he was a child, and he is smart and stubborn. At that time, Dong Er refused to bind her feet because of her father's love, and there was nothing others could do. At an early age, she clamored for reading and writing. At that time, reading was a man's business, but with her efforts, Wan Mansion made an exception and let her study, which gave her some cultural knowledge.

Wan Tung-erh grew up and slowly showed her talents. With the encouragement of Wan's father, he succeeded his mother Zhang as the manager of Wan's house. Because she is capable, impartial and uncompromising, she managed dozens of people, old and young, in a few years.

1897, Wan Jing, who just turned 20, decided by his father to marry Zhou Shaogang, the second son of Mr. Zhou in Shanyang County.

Zhou Shaogang's personality is easy-going, honest and sincere, but Wan Tung-erh is famous for his shrewdness and ability to manage Wan Fu. Therefore, Wan Tung-erh has been in charge of housework since he married Zhou Jia Courtyard in Yangshanma Lane. Wan Tung-erh didn't live up to her mother-in-law's trust, had conflicts with Zhou Fu's sister-in-law, and encountered difficulties in housework. "Please tell Aunt Shi clearly" has become everyone's mantra. And Dong Er will arrive at every invitation, and when he arrives, he will divide these household chores, even things that are difficult for an upright official to decide, cleanly and cleanly, so as to convince everyone.

In the second year of marriage with the Zhou family, she gave birth to a son. This is Zhou Enlai. At that time, her son was very rich, and Dong Er was the first person to have a son. Her value in Zhou Fu is very high.

Higher position. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for my father-in-law Zhou to die, and Wanjia gradually declined. No matter how capable Dong Er is, there is nothing he can do. Dong Er, who was stubborn by nature, supported the whole week and finally fell ill on 1907. She tried to hide her illness, delayed treatment and died in the summer. Dong Er was only 3 1 year old this year (nominal age). It's a pity that he died. Wan Jia was very sad when she learned the news of her daughter's death. Zhang, his mother, forced Zhou Shaogang to build a nanmu coffin with five layers of hemp and seven layers of paint to make a decent Dojo. At that time, the Zhou family even had a problem eating, so where did the money come from? Although Zhou Shaogang was very passive towards Nuo Nuo, there was nothing he could do. Mrs. Wan never gives in and won't stop until she reaches her goal.

Finally, we had to put the coffin in the temple. It was not until 28 years later that Mrs. Wan died. With a sum of money saved over the years, Zhou Shaogang brought his wife's coffin back to Huai 'an and buried it in Zhou's ancestral home outside the east gate of Huai 'an.

My family is not rich, I have no money to marry a second wife, and I miss my beautiful and capable wife who died unfortunately. From then on, Zhou Shaogang lived alone and lived alone. After that, he took the portrait of his beloved wife Wan with him for a long time until he accidentally lost it in an unexpected situation.

Zhou Enlai has deep feelings for his mother. 1945 After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhou Enlai told many reporters in Chongqing: "I haven't been home for 35 years. My mother's grave seems to be covered with poplars, but I regret my kindness! " Since then, Zhou Enlai has repeatedly expressed his memory of his mother.

1965 On the eve of the Spring Festival, I gave my nephew Tuesday Cui a special task: to take the lead in changing customs and traditions, to return to his hometown on his behalf, to level Zhou Zu's grave in Huai 'an, to sink coffins on the spot, and to return farmland to the fields. It is said that Wan Tung-erh's grave has also been leveled. It is said that local farmers could not bear to level the grave of Premier Zhou's biological mother Wan Donger, so they quietly carried her coffin to the educated youth farm about 300 meters southeast of Zhou Zufen for reburial. However, because there were no tombstones and no one surrounded the grave, the grave became flat and could not be found again after three or four years.

Zhou Enlai's biological father Zhou Shaogang, formerly known as Yi Neng, was later renamed Shao Gang. 1874 was born in Shaoxing. He is a "Chinese student" with the title of "principal". This "national student" is the identity of spending money to donate. At that time, "China students" were considered to be very literate. Mainly official rank, it is six products, but also donated, and it is "official title, no position." After his father died, in order to make a living, Zhou Shaogang left his hometown and worked in Jiangsu, Hubei, Northeast China, Hebei and other places as an adjutant, tutor or clerk, sending and receiving documents. The saddest thing for Zhou Shaogang is that when his beloved wife Wan Donger died, he was not at home. At that time, he was making a living in Wuhan.

1922, with the help of his brother Monday, he worked as a clerk in Qiqihar Tobacco and Alcohol Affairs Bureau, earning a steady income. 1927 "April 12th Incident" and 193 1 in the most difficult days when Zhou Enlai led the underground struggle in Shanghai, Zhou Shaogang risked his life to accompany his son in Shanghai and did some useful work for the revolution.

1937 War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, and Zhou Enlai participated in the negotiations on behalf of the producers. Soon, the Eighth Route Army office in Hankou was established, and Zhou Shaogang and Deng's mother Yang Zhende came here successively. After Wuhan was occupied by the Japanese army, Zhou Shaogang and Yang Zhende arrived in Chongqing again.

In Hongyan Village, Chongqing, Zhou Shaogang, because of his age, only does small things such as guarding the door and sweeping the yard, but he gets along well with the staff and is like a family member.

1July, 942, Zhou Shaogang suddenly fell ill in Hongyan's office and had a high fever. He died on1July. At that time, Zhou Enlai was hospitalized, only two or three days after the operation. As we all know, Zhou Enlai is a very emotional person, and he has always been very filial to his father. He was afraid that mental stimulation would be bad for his illness and decided not to tell him for the time being. Zhou Enlai saw the flaw. Hearing that his father had passed away for three days, Zhou Enlai turned pale with fear, and was too weak to bear after the operation. He immediately squatted on the ground. With everyone's help, he returned to the office. After seeing Deng, he was furious. "The old man died, why did you hide such a big thing from me? You don't know me for so many years? " Deng Dajie asked in tears. ...

That night, Zhou Enlai held a wake for his father until dawn.

After the funeral was announced, Mao Zedong called to offer condolences, and Chiang Kai-shek and other important officials of the National Government sent a letter of condolences to Hongyan.

Zhou Shaogang lived a wandering life, an unstable life and a poor and miserable life. He and his beloved wife gave birth to three brothers, Zhou Enshou.

Premier Zhou seldom talks about his father to his nephews and nieces. Only in August of 1964 did he talk to his relatives and said, "I sympathize with my father." 1974 At the turn of spring and summer, before Zhou Enlai was about to be hospitalized, when his nephew Zhou Bingjun went to visit him on a business trip, he said to his nephew, "I sympathize with your grandfather. He is honest, and his monthly salary in life does not exceed that of 30 yuan. But he has never done anything bad in his life and still protects me. " After Zhou Enlai's death, Deng gave his niece a shabby little black wallet and said, "Before liberation, when your uncle was doing underground work, because the goal of taking a briefcase to the streets was too great, he put important documents and letters in this small wallet and put them in his close-fitting coat pocket. There is also a photo of your grandfather in the clip. " Deng took out the photo and saw the words "Dad's portrait" written on the back of the photo.

There are photos of them in the resources.
