According to reason, relatives and friends will not begin to prepare for the memorial service until after his death, but they chose to transfer the body of her husband Du to the hospital and keep it.
The dead Du Yu Ming and his sad relatives and friends are waiting for Jiang Jingguo's reply, waiting for the children that Du Yu Ming didn't see before he died.
But what everyone is waiting for is regret, which is an impossible "reunion". Du's wife and his good friend Zheng Dongguo were very angry and publicly condemned their indifference.
On May 25th, Du passed away in 18 days with a sad heart, and the memorial service was held in Beijing. ......
In the Huaihai Campaign in June, Du Fu, a famous Kuomintang soldier, was captured.
When he was first arrested, Du Yu Ming put on the clothes of a PLA soldier and shaved off his signature moustache. He claimed that he was a prisoner, mixed with soldiers, and tried to get away with it.
Du's disguise finally failed to escape the eyes of the PLA. He knew he couldn't hide his identity, and he was desperate. He picked up a pistol and aimed it directly at his forehead, ready to pull the trigger. At this critical moment, the adjutant next to him put on a disguise to stop his behavior.
Du was captured. During that time, Du never gave up the idea of suicide. When he found the opportunity, he picked up a stone and hit himself on the head. Fortunately, it was rescued in time by comrades of the People's Liberation Army.
In order to prevent him from trying to die again, the PLA had to put him in chains and was later sent to Kutokuhayashi War Crimes Management Office.
Du was "cured" bit by bit, both physically and mentally. At first, I was unwell in the management office, and I had a big shelf when I got along with people.
Considering Du's chronic diseases during the war, the medical staff of the War Criminals Management Office gave him careful treatment and invested a lot of manpower and material resources just to make his life more comfortable.
In terms of learning, the management office library provides a large number of books for war criminals to concentrate on their studies. Du Yu Ming is a diligent man. He read a lot of Chairman Mao's works, and his thoughts changed little by little.
After the illness, Du excitedly burst into tears and sincerely said:
When Du gradually changed the management of war criminals, the life of his family was "not easy".
When Du was arrested, his wife was living in Shanghai with her mother-in-law and children. Because Du can't be contacted, she can't know about him. Cao Xiuqing heard that Du Yu Ming was killed in the battle, which made her very worried.
Emotional Cao Xiuqing went to Chiang Kai-shek's presidential palace to find him, crying:
On the eve of Shanghai's liberation, Chiang Kai-shek sent a message to Cao Xiuqing, ordering Cao Xiuqing to take the opportunity to take the children to Taiwan Province Province. Chiang Kai-shek promised that he would be responsible for the life of the Cao Xiuqing family.
In this way, without knowing her husband's life and death, she came to Taiwan Province with her family and separated from Du.
Originally, Cao Xiuqing thought that Chiang Kai-shek would keep his promise, but this was not the case. Cao Xiuqing, her mother-in-law, and five children have no shelter, food and clothes. The source of a family's life is a little subsidy from the Kuomintang, which is not enough to maintain their living expenses.
Cao Xiuqing was crushed by a little life. In desperation, I asked for help everywhere, looking for old friends or subordinates of Du, hoping to find a job to support my family.
Finally, Cao Xiuqing finally found a job in the product factory of Taibei Tobacco and Alcohol Bureau, responsible for simple work such as internal receiving and dispatching, and barely maintained the life of the family.
My mother-in-law, Du's mother, died of poverty and illness. Cao Xiuqing is very sad, but unable to change the plight of life.
Du He's eldest daughter, 1947, went to study in the United States. Two years later, she married Yang Zhenning and had a family of her own, which rarely worried Cao Xiuqing.
Du Zhiren, the eldest son, went to Harvard University in the 1950s. Due to his poor family, Du Zhiren had to borrow money from a bank in Taiwan Province to pay for his tuition.
Du Zhiren usually goes to school during the day and works at night. When times are hard, he is hungry and full, and his life is very sad. Even so, after he went to college, he was still heavily in debt.
Du Zhiren is still a student, so there is really no way to raise a lot of money. He had to stay at his sister Du Zhili's house for the time being and write to his mother Cao Xiuqing, hoping that her mother could lend her 3000 yuan to graduate smoothly first, and the rest would be paid off slowly after graduation.
But where there is so much money in Cao Xiuqing, it is impossible to piece it together. In the end, there is really no way. Cao Xiuqing could only go to Chiang Kai-shek who made her angry and resentful.
She wrote a report, applied for a loan of 3,000 yuan from Chiang Kai-shek and waited for Chiang Kai-shek's signature after half a month.
Chiang Kai-shek signed it, but only allowed to borrow 1000 yuan, or pay it back in two years. So in the end, Cao Xiuqing only got 500 yuan, and she didn't have time to think about it. She quickly sent the only 500 yuan money to her son Du Zhiren.
Du Zhiren, who is in the United States, received a check from 500 yuan. He was so emotional that he broke down in tears. This 500 yuan can't solve his urgent need, and Du Zhiren is completely anxious.
Sister Du Zhili and brother-in-law Yang Zhenning comforted him and promised to find him some jobs as soon as possible, raise tuition fees and help him find a way out as soon as possible. Under the comfort of Du Zhili Yang Zhenning and his wife, Du Zhiren's mood finally calmed down.
When it was time for dinner, Du Zhili called his brother for dinner, but he didn't come out. Du Zhili thinks that his brother is just in a bad mood for a while, and he will be fine when he pulls himself together the next day.
But Du Zhiren didn't come to dinner the next day. Du Zhili immediately rushed to his brother's bedroom and went in, only to find that his brother Du Zhiren had committed suicide by taking medicine.
The bad news reached the ears of Cao Xiuqing, and Cao Xiuqing was heartbroken and wept bitterly. She didn't expect that Du had been with Chiang Kai-shek for so many years, and Chiang Kai-shek treated the Du family like this, which was extremely chilling.
The death of his son Du Zhiren left a great wound in Cao Xiuqing's heart. She and her four children still live in poverty.
Cao Xiuqing once built a "cenotaph" for Du Yu Ming. Facing the hardships of life, Cao Xiuqing walked to the "Monument" of Du Yu Ming and sat down against the tombstone. The glass in front of the tombstone is full of wine.
Cao Xiuqing touched her husband's photo with tears in her eyes: "You don't have any hobbies in your life, just want to have a drink. I asked someone to bring this wine from thousands of miles away. Isn't it often said that the sun and the moon grow in the pot? " ? Can you tell me how long the sun and the moon are in this pot? "
Say that finish, it is a long silence.
Cao Xiuqing today has nothing to rely on. She can only cry about the hardships of life in front of Du Fu's "monument". She is no longer that charming beauty, but now she has been ground into an old lady by life.
She said, "I didn't even take care of my children. Will my ancestors let me into the ancestral grave in the future? "
It was not until later that Cao Xiuqing knew that her husband was not dead. The State Council Prime Minister Zhou Enlai contacted his daughter Du Zhili and his son-in-law Yang Zhenning through various channels and told them that Du had a good life in Beijing. In the difficult years in Cao Xiuqing, this has become a rare piece of good news.
From 65438 to 0956, Du wrote to his daughter for the first time in Beijing War Criminals Management Office. With the help of Premier Zhou Enlai, this letter was sent to Du Zhili.
In recent years, my family finally got the exact news from Du. Before Du Zhili opened the envelope, his tears were completely blurred.
On the same day, Du Zhili wrote to his mother, Cao Xiuqing, telling her that "your old friend cares about you very much." Cao Xiuqing knew that this old friend was her husband Du Yu Ming, who was once in a blue moon.
Chiang Kai-shek won't give her any news, even if she has something to ask for and wants to see Chiang Kai-shek, she can't even see it.
Fortunately, now she finally knows the news that her husband is safe.
The turning point in life occurred in 1957, and Yang Zhenning won the Nobel Prize.
Entrusted by the Prime Minister, Du wrote a congratulatory letter for his son-in-law to manage war criminals. At this time, through continuous learning, Du has made great changes in his thoughts, and he is naturally willing to do it.
Yang Zhenning also thanked his father-in-law Du Yu Ming for his congratulatory letter, and said that he was deeply moved by his concern.
At the same time, great changes have taken place in Chiang Kai-shek's attitude towards Cao Xiuqing. Because Chiang Kai-shek hoped to win Yang Zhenning through Cao Xiuqing's relationship.
Cao Xiuqing seized this opportunity and told Chiang Kai-shek: "I want to go to the United States for an interview." Chiang Kai-shek not only promised her immediately, but also took his wife Song Meiling to see Cao Xiuqing off.
Unfortunately, Cao Xiuqing can't take his other children with him on this trip to the United States, so he has to go alone. Before he leaves, he has to find two people as guarantors.
Since then, Cao Xiuqing has lived in the United States with his daughter Du Zhili and son-in-law Yang Zhenning. Yang Zhenning not only made great academic achievements, but also was a very filial person.
Before going to work every day, Yang Zhenning would say goodbye to Cao Xiuqing: "Mom, I'm leaving." After work, they will say, "Mom, I'm home." After having a daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren, Cao Xiuqing was in a much better mood.
According to Chiang Kai-shek's request, Cao Xiuqing can only leave for half a year, but she doesn't want to go back. With the help of Du Zhili and Yang Zhenning, Cao Xiuqing applied for permanent residency and lived in the United States for several years.
What she misses most is her husband in Beijing and her children in Taiwan Province Province.
1959 is an extremely important year for the Du family. Du studied hard, reformed seriously and performed well in the war criminals management office, and got the opportunity of Amnesty.
Du was "the first person to be pardoned" at the scheduled Amnesty War Criminals Conference in February 65438. Speaking on behalf of the first batch of pardoned war criminals, Du stood on the stage with tears in his eyes.
After the Amnesty, Du chose to live in. At this time, his greatest concern is to separate his family from other places.
Du can't wait to write a letter, hoping that she can come to Beijing to live with herself. At first, Cao Xiuqing was full of hesitation. She didn't know what the unknown life would be like next.
His daughter and son-in-law encouraged him. * * * The policy of the production party is very good, and their life will only get better and better. Finally, Cao Xiuqing decided to go to Beijing.
1963 10 The couple, who have been separated for more than ten years, finally reunited in Beijing.
Premier the State Council also visited Du He in the Great Hall of the People and cared about their lives. Premier Zhou's warm words also made Cao Xiuqing feel that the choice of coming to Beijing was correct.
As for the miserable life his wife and children have experienced, Du Yi knows nothing about it. He never imagined that he worked so hard for Chiang Kai-shek, but he was so ungrateful.
197 1 year, and went back to Beijing to meet his parents. This is Du He's first meeting.
The Prime Minister cordially received their family, because they didn't know Du Su. When called "mother", he also called Du "Mr. Du".
Hearing this, Premier Zhou corrected humorously and said, "Your name should be Lord Zhang Yue."
The atmosphere of the banquet was pleasant, and the relationship between Du and He gradually improved during the conversation. Since then, Yang Zhenning has often visited Mr. and Mrs. Cao Xiuqing in Yu Ming and bought them some furniture.
Du Huihui was happy to keep them at home for dinner, when they looked forward to their children coming home just like their parents.
Under the care of the * * * production party and family, Du lived a happy and full life in his later years.
The only thing that worries them is their four children who have lived in Taiwan Province Province for many years. Under the supervision of Jiang's father and son, these children have never been reunited with their parents.
Over the years, he has been actively doing a good job in Du Fu's literature and history, and at the same time running for the great cause of the motherland's reunification. 198 1 year, 77-year-old Du is old and his health is not as good as before, so he can only stay in bed.
Above the hospital bed, Du wants to meet his four children. Du Zhiren died young, and Du Zhili Yang Zhenning was also very filial, but he never met them. He is very concerned about his children.
Du Zhili understood her father's concern and tried to contact her brothers and sisters. Of course, my brothers and sisters also want to come. Seeing my father, Chiang Kai-shek was dead, and Jiang Jingguo wouldn't let him go. "Reunion" has become such a difficult thing.
On his deathbed, Du Yu Ming failed to wait for his children. 198 1 On May 7th, Du died.
Du's memorial service was postponed because four children could not come to the funeral. In this short time, I decided to take the time to send a telegram, hoping that he could help realize Du's last wish.
Du's old friend Zheng Dongguo also actively helped them. Zheng Dongguo, in Liaoshen Campaign 1948, laid down his arms and surrendered. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Zheng Dongguo served as a counselor of the Ministry of Water Resources and a commissioner of literature and history of the China People's Political Consultative Conference.
Zheng Dongguo and Du were once subordinates of Chiang Kai-shek. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), their thoughts have changed greatly, and they are also committed to the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.
In order to bid farewell to Du's last trip, Zheng Dongguo actively helped the Du family and contacted relatives and friends in Taiwan, hoping that they could help the Du family reunite and let the children see their father for the last time.
But Jiang Jingguo just didn't agree, and the wish of "reunion" finally fell through. Cao Xiuqing and Zheng Dongguo were so angry that they even denounced Jiang Jingguo's indifference.
On May 25th, 8 days after Du's death/KLOC-,his memorial service was held in Beijing.
General Xiao Ke presided over Du's memorial service, and he sadly read out the eulogy:
Cao Xiuqing listened excitedly. She knows that although Du did something wrong, the country and people will never forget his contribution.
Du was buried in Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery. Since then, he has been with Gu Song Bai Cui, and people who miss him can visit him.
1982, one year after Du's death, he finally met his children who had been away for more than 20 years. The mother hugged her child tightly and wept bitterly.
Cao Xiuqing doesn't intend to live in Taiwan Province province with her children, but chooses to continue living in Beijing. According to Du's wishes, she actively participated in various activities and did her best for the cause of the motherland.
1984, Cao Xiuqing died of illness. Fortunately, she read Du's last words and met her caring children.
