Highlights of Chen Duxiu's family background: He was born in a noble family with roots, and his four wives and seven children suffered a lot.

Chen Duxiu comes from a noble family, with four wives and six children. What are they like? Chen Duxiu is a man of the hour in the modern history of China. 192 1 year, when Chen Duxiu was the chairman of the Guangdong provincial education commission, Chen Jiongming, a Guangdong warlord, solemnly asked Chen Duxiu, "It is said that you organized a' father-seeking group'. Is this really the case? " Chen Duxiu also solemnly replied: "My son is qualified to organize such a group, and I am not even qualified to participate, because I lost my father at an early age." So, what kind of family did Chen Duxiu come from? What hardships did his wife and children go through?

What Chen Duxiu and Chen Jiongming said above is a joke, but it is also true. Chen Duxiu lost his father when he was a child. At the age of six, he studied under his grandfather Chen. Chen is conservative and eccentric. The younger generation in the family call him "White Tiger Dad". It is said that as long as the word "white tiger dad" is mentioned in the local area, the crying child immediately stops crying, which shows its seriousness.

Chen Duxiu was very clever when he was young. What puzzles him is that he is often punished by his grandfather. Other children read books, but "White Tiger Dad" didn't ask much, but often stared at Chen Duxiu. "I can't wait for him to finish reading all the four books and five classics within one year, so that he will be satisfied." If Chen Duxiu can't recite the endorsement, the "White Tiger Father's Ann" will break into a furious rage, and Chen Duxiu will be too scared to speak. When Chen Duxiu was ten years old, "White Tiger Dad" died; But his overbearing paternalistic style left a lifelong impression on Chen Duxiu.

Because his father died young, Chen Duxiu was adopted as his son by his uncle Chen Xifan at the age of seventeen. Chen Xifan once worked as a platform in the Qing Dynasty. After retiring in his later years, he amused himself with poems and paintings at home every day. His paintings are famous for their landscapes and profound techniques, which were all the rage in Anhui painting circles in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Chen Xifan's character is very modest. "Everyone in the reception room is as old as Lin Bu, and I don't know that I am a prominent official." . Chen Xifan likes Chen Duxiu very much. He went out to be an official and often took Chen Duxiu with him, but Chen Duxiu was lightly influenced by him. He is not only mediocre in poetry and painting, but also very irritable in character. Later, when Chen Duxiu joined the revolutionary cause, Chen Xifan was afraid of being implicated, so he went to the ancestral temple to go through the formalities of "retiring". On the surface, he broke off the father-son relationship with Chen Duxiu, but secretly he always supported Chen Duxiu's life.

Chen Duxiu's character is mainly influenced by his mother. His mother is "capable and kind", but she is often "tolerant of evil and lacks a serious and firm attitude." Chen Duxiu himself once said: In his early years, there was a "Mr. Mistake by mistake", who often collected the property of his neighbors under the guise of playing tricks; His mother knew it was a lie, but she was always willing to be cheated and let him buy paper money and silver ingots to "worship his ancestors." Chen Duxiu thinks that he lacks a serious and resolute attitude towards some things, and sometimes he "submit to humiliation". So he said, "The inheritance of mother's personality also has an influence."

Cha is very strict with Chen Duxiu's study, but she doesn't agree that Chen is too strict with her children, hoping to convince others by reasoning. Chen Duxiu told people that he was not afraid to fight or kill, but that his mother would cry. "Mom's tears are a powerful command for me to study hard." . Cha often encouraged Chen Duxiu to study hard with the deeds of juren, scholar, scholar and others, only to find that Chen Duxiu later took an examination of scholar. Charles died when Chen Duxiu was twenty. At that time, the Chen family was a big family in the local area, with five generations living under one roof. After Cha's death, Chen Xifan's second wife, She Shi, became the master of the Chen family. No one can disobey her words, just like Jia in a dream of red mansions. But she is very kind and considerate to Chen Duxiu and regards her as her own son. Later, Chen Duxiu came back from Japan, wearing a suit. Xie didn't like it anyway, saying that he was "dressed like a ghost." Chen Duxiu didn't want to make Xie angry, so he had to change into a robe and mandarin jacket.

The Chen family is a famous family in Anqing, and his father was also an alternate magistrate. Uncle Chen Xifan is a Taoist priest and a famous painter. Chen Duxiu brothers also admitted to the scholar. Therefore, the Chen family is very respected by the local people, and many rich families are scrambling to propose to the Chen family. Finally, Ko Siu Lan, the eldest daughter of Gao, deputy commander of northern Anhui, was selected. 1896, when Chen Duxiu just turned seventeen, he married Gao, who was three years older than him. Gao "often wears a long, large-breasted jacket" and "has a pair of small feet and rarely wears brightly colored clothes." Is a typical old-fashioned woman, ideologically incompatible with Chen Duxiu. When studying in Japan, Chen Duxiu didn't have enough travel expenses and wanted to borrow a high gold bracelet for money. Gao will not give it to him. The couple have no feelings, and they are also "multi-talk disputes" on weekdays.

Later, Chen Duxiu freely fell in love with Gao Junman, Gao's younger sister, and married her on 19 10, regardless of the opposition of her people. At first, they were able to love each other, but Chen Duxiu's private life was not serious, which gradually aroused Gao Junman's dissatisfaction. Finally, he left Chen Duxiu, went to Nanjing first, and then returned to Anqing to raise two or three children alone. 193 1 year, Gao Junman died of poverty and illness.

Chen Duxiu's third wife is Shi Zhiying. It is said that Shi Zhiying is a doctor in a private hospital in Shanghai. They met in the process of seeing a doctor in Chen Duxiu. Later, Chen Duxiu was impressed by Shi Zhiying's beauty and enthusiasm, and Shi Zhiying was impressed by Chen Duxiu's rhetoric. In the end, they came together and spent 14 months together as a couple. Later, the two broke up and lost contact. Finally, Shi Zhiying died in 1973. It is said that after she remarried, she still thought that "the best thing for her in this life is Lao Chen".

Chen Duxiu's fourth wife is Pan Lanzhen, a female worker of Shanghai British American Tobacco Company. When they got married, Chen Duxiu was 5 1 year old, while Pan Lanzhen was only 20 years old. At first, Pan Lanzhen didn't know the true identity of Chen Duxiu. It was not until 1932 that Chen Duxiu was arrested that she learned the real situation in Chen Duxiu from the newspaper and immediately rushed from Shanghai to Nanjing to take care of Chen Duxiu's life. Since then, Pan Lanzhen has been with Chen Duxiu. She works hard and is silent, so she is respected by her family. 1949165438+10, Pan Lanzhen died in Shanghai at the age of 40.

Chen Duxiu has seven children. His wife gave birth to four children, namely, the eldest son Yannian, the second son Qiao Nian, Song Nian and his daughter Chen Yuying. Gao Junman, the second wife, gave birth to three children: Chen Guangmei, Chen, (aka). His first two wives didn't have children for him. 19 13, when Chen Duxiu participated in the "second revolution" against Yuan Shikai, he was wanted by the Beiyang government and was forced to flee to Shanghai. Yuan Jun couldn't catch Chen Duxiu, so he copied Chen Duxiu's home, and he also grabbed Yan Nian and Qiao Nian everywhere, trying to pull out his roots. Yannian and Qiao Nian fled over the wall, ran to the countryside overnight, and hid in relatives' homes for three days and three nights before they escaped.

Yan Nian and Qiao Nian have completely different personalities. Yan Nian is "thoughtful and unsmiling", but Qiao Nian is very naughty. When I was a child, Qiao Nian liked singing opera. He often wears a small jacket and has a white beard and sings Wu Zixu. He not only sings by himself, but also teaches other children. When I grow up, Qiao Nian is still "my old days". He is naive, but he works hard. One is one, and the other is two. He is never careless.

Because Chen Duxiu took part in the revolution in his early years and ran around, he didn't take good care of prolonging life and being clever. The two brothers taught themselves and worked hard. By the time they were fifteen or sixteen years old, their literary talents had become famous in the local area. 19 17. Chen Duxiu received Yan nian and Qiao nian from Shanghai. Later, at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei, Chen Duxiu became a senior liberal arts student at Peking University, and took less care of the two brothers. The two brothers live in the building of New Youth magazine, work outside during the day and live a hard life. Gao Junman begged Chen Duxiu to live a long life and go home for the New Year, but Chen Duxiu thought it was a woman's opinion. Although she is kind-hearted, it may not have a good effect. He believes that children should be allowed to fend for themselves and cultivate their ability to live independently, so Gao Junman's well-meaning advice is always ineffective.

Yan Nian and Qiao Nian are also important figures in China's modern history. The two brothers took part in the work-study mutual aid movement and went to France to work and study together. Chen Yannian is the head of the General Branch of the European Central Production Party. Qiao Nian also joined the Party in 1922 and returned to China in 1924, responsible for organizing the Central Beijing District Committee and later the Central Beidi District Committee. At this time, he was only 22 years old and was the youngest leading comrade. On March 1926 and 18, anti-imperialist and patriotic mass demonstrations broke out in Beijing. Qiao Nian is one of the organizers of this movement and personally participated in the demonstration. He was stabbed by reactionary military police and almost broke his heart. But Joe only stayed in the hospital for two days, and then went back to work.

Yannian served as secretary of the CPC Central Committee in Guangdong and Guangxi. He was disgusted with his father's right capitulationism and fought some battles. At the Fifth National Congress, both brothers were elected as members of the Central Committee. After the meeting, Yannian became the secretary of jiangsu provincial party committee and was arrested in Jiangsu in mid-June 1927. The party organization rescued it in many ways, but the rescue was invalid because of the traitor's betrayal. 1July 4, 927, Yannian died heroically in Longhua, Shanghai.

1928 In February, Qiao Nian was also arrested in Jiangsu, and later put into Longhua prison, where he died heroically on May 6.

After Yannian was arrested, her sister Xiaoxiu (Chen Yuying) arrived in Shanghai. Because there was no hope of rescue, Xiaoxiu died in grief.

The death of three children was a great blow to Chen Duxiu. He hasn't eaten for days and is in great pain. Later, when War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, Hu Shi wanted to pull Chen Duxiu into the "National Defense Council". Chen Duxiu flatly refused, saying that Chiang Kai-shek killed many of his comrades and killed his two sons. He and Chiang Kai-shek had sworn enemies; Now that the enemy is at present, the country will cooperate again; Since the country needs Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan, he can stop his anti-Chiang activities. But he can never cooperate with Chiang Kai-shek. Hearing this, Hu Shi had to go home disappointed. Songnian lived a hard and unfortunate life, but he saved his own life. He didn't live a stable life until after 1976, and died in 1990. Chen Duxiu's youngest son, Lester Chit-Man Chan, was separated from his father because his mother was separated from Chen Duxiu. Later, he lived in Hong Kong until 2000, when he finally ended his life at the age of 77. Chen Duxiu's second daughter, Mei, worked part-time in her early years, studying obstetrics and gynecology. Her specific experience is unknown. It is said that she later moved to Hong Kong and New York to live. The most bizarre thing is Chen Duxiu's son Chen Guangmei, whose reason can be read by searching online for "Chen Duxiu140th birthday, son Chen Guangmei's chapter has been opened".

In his later years, Chen Duxiu lived in Wuhan and Chongqing successively. Zhou Enlai and Zhu Yunshan visited him when he was in hospital in Chongqing. After long-term seclusion in Jiangjin, Sichuan, he made a living by teaching and kept a low profile. By 1942, Chen Duxiu died of illness in Shibi Hospital, Pingshan, Jiangjin, Sichuan, at the age of 63.
