Zhao Renlan followed Li Dazhao to live in Beijing, which shocked many old and new friends of Li Dazhao in Beijing. When I was studying in Tianjin, Yu Ben, who was also the editor-in-chief of Yan Zhi with Li Dazhao, had lived in Beijing for several years. This special lady met Zhao Renlan at the station. A friend helped Li Dazhao find a nice house at No.3 Huihuiying near Xuanwu Gate. After Zhao Renlan and his family settled in Beijing, they soon got to know the wives of many professors and scholars. She is sincere and easy-going, and won the praise of all the ladies. She is recognized as a good wife and mother.
This is the right time for Zhao Renlan to lead his children to move to Beijing. After the outbreak of the October Revolution in Russia, Li Dazhao became interested in the October Revolution and the Marxism of the October Revolutionary School. This summer, he used his summer vacation to go to the Chinese Temple in Wufeng Mountain in Changli, north of his hometown, to study the October Revolution and carry out the pioneering work of spreading Marxism in China. Two months after the family arrived in Beijing, just after the end of World War I, Beijing held a city to celebrate the victory of the Allied Forces. Li Dazhao first delivered a speech entitled "The Victory of the Common People" in Zhongshan Park, and then wrote an article entitled "The Victory of Bohemia", which publicly praised the Russian October Revolution and displayed the banner of socialism in China. Later, he not only co-edited New Youth magazine with Chen Duxiu and others, but also founded Weekly Review, a weekly newspaper. In those days, many students looked for him. He seldom eats on time and comes back late at night. By this time, Zhao Renlan felt that he should take his children to Beijing to take care of Li Dazhao's life. Otherwise, Li Dazhao's accommodation is uncertain, and he is likely to break down from constant overwork.
19 19 At the beginning of this year, there was a plague in Beijing, and Zhao Renlan and two children were infected with paratyphoid fever. Li Dazhao hurried to find medicine everywhere, and finally let her and her children recover quickly without any accident. By May 4th, a big demonstration broke out in Beijing against the warlord government signing the Paris Peace Treaty. In order to lead the unprecedented May 4th Movement, Li Dazhao is very busy every day. When Chen Duxiu was arrested, he even ran around desperately and risked his life to save Chen Duxiu from prison. Zhao Renlan was worried about Li Dazhao's safety and was on tenterhooks all day. At this moment, she was pregnant with her second daughter, Yan Hua, and her body became more and more inconvenient. The summer vacation is coming. Li Dazhao weighed it again and again and decided to send her and her children back to their hometown temporarily, and then return to Beijing after the situation stabilized. After the family returned to Daheituo, Li Dazhao took Bao Hua to the Hanwengong Temple in Wufeng Mountain in Changli for a month, and sent an open letter to debate with Hu Shi in the ancient temple in the mountain to discuss the problems and theories again, and basically completed the writing plan of My View on Marxism. In early September, after Li Dazhao returned from Wufeng Mountain, he sent Bao Hua and Xinghua to Laoting City to study. After all the arrangements were made, he returned to Beijing alone. A month or two later, Zhao Renlan gave birth to Yanhua in Daheituo. At that time, she was in her hometown and her heart was still in Beijing, worrying about everything about Li Dazhao. After giving birth to Yan Hua, she always expected Li Dazhao to go home as soon as possible, but it was not until February 1920 that Li Dazhao came back from Tianjin. It turned out that Chen Duxiu was still under surveillance after his release. When he quietly went south and returned to Beijing, the warlord government wanted to arrest him for giving speeches in Wuhan and other places. Brave Li Dazhao disguised himself as a businessman and hired mules to escort Chen Duxiu to Tianjin. After Chen Duxiu moved to Shanghai safely, he returned to his hometown from Tianjin to reunite with his family.
Yanhua is in trouble. 1920 In the spring, she contracted smallpox. Zhao Renlan wrote a letter to Li Dazhao in a hurry, which made Li Dazhao return to Beijing and his hometown soon. Fortunately, after smallpox was born, the child was fine. Li Dazhao stayed at home for a few days and returned to Beijing before Tomb-Sweeping Day. At that time, he said that he had something important to do. Later, Zhao Renlan learned that when Li Dazhao sent Chen Duxiu out of danger, the two men fought in the north and * * * set up a production party in China * * *; Li Dazhao is eager to return to Beijing. He is the representative of the International Far East Bureau, which is preparing to welcome Russia to help build the Party. Zhao Renlan saw that Li Dazhao was too busy to leave, and decided to take her children to live in Beijing again. Anyway, he has been with Li Dazhao and will never let him be distracted by his family again. This summer, Li Dazhao has too many things to do in Beijing to go home for a holiday. It was not until the end of the summer vacation that he rushed back to his hometown to meet Zhao Renlan and his children and settle down in Beijing. In the early autumn of 1920, Zhao Renlan came to Beijing again. By this time, she has been married to Li Dazhao for more than 20 years, from a girl of 16 or 17 years old to an increasingly haggard middle-aged woman. A year later, the old house has changed hands. When Li Dazhao returned to his hometown, he saw that Professor Bai Meichu, a close friend of his fellow countryman, often went to Beijing Women's Normal School from Tianjin to teach, and it was very hard to travel back and forth, so he advised him to buy the house at No.3 Huihuiying. In order to take Zhao Renlan and his children back to Beijing, Li Dazhao rented a new house at No.35 Houzhai, Majie Street, Shijiu, nearby. The house was spacious and lived alone, and Zhao Renlan didn't feel any discomfort. She is also very willing to let Li Dazhao give the original rented house to Bai Meichu. Bai Meichu is a Manchu and has lived in Lulong, the capital of Yongping Prefecture for a long time. Li Dazhao 13 years old. They have become close brothers since they became friends in Tianjin. Mrs. Bai is from Luanzhou, not far from Laoting. She is cheerful, warm and kind. Kiss or not, fellow villager, very close to Mrs. Bai. Moreover, the children of both families are accompanied by each other, which makes Zhao Renlan extremely relieved.
Zhao Renlan returned to Beijing. Unexpectedly, she, an illiterate peasant woman who came out of the farm yard, became the wife of an open university professor. Just two months before she arrived in Beijing, the Council of Peking University decided to change the librarian to a professor and awarded Professor Li Dazhao a letter of appointment. After Li Dazhao became a professor, he not only took charge of library work, but also taught some courses in our school and Beijing Women's Normal University, Normal University, Chaoyang University, China University and other schools. In this way, Li Dazhao's reputation inside and outside the school is getting higher and higher, and his salary is also much higher. Supposedly, life at home should be richer, but Zhao Renlan didn't think that she was still a housewife. Li Dazhao's monthly salary is around 200 yuan, but he can't get much back from his monthly expenses, so he can barely support himself at home. You cannot make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. For a time, even the daily expenses at home could not make ends meet, which made her frown. It turns out that Li Dazhao often gives alms to students and workers with difficult family life. If there is no money in my pocket, I will write a note to let people go to the accounting department for an advance, and there will be little left after deducting the loan. It was also during this period that the early organization of the Beijing * * * production party was established and there was no way to raise funds. Li Dazhao spends part of his monthly salary on organizing activities, which makes life at home even more embarrassing. When Zhao Renlan learned that Li Dazhao had spent all his money in serious places, he didn't have any complaints and began to carefully plan the daily expenses at home. All expenses are simple, and he uses the method of rural life to cope with urban life, and manages the family diligently everywhere, so as not to let Li Dazhao be distracted by family life. The situation of the Li family's poor life somehow reached the ears of Cai Yuanpei, the principal of Peking University. He went directly to "involve" and asked the accounting department to deduct a part of his monthly salary and send it directly to Zhao Renlan. Zhao Renlan silently shouldered the heavy pressure of family life for Li Dazhao's righteous act, and Cai Yuanpei made an exception to "interfere" Li Dazhao's family life expenses, which were all passed down as anecdotes for a while.
192 1 in the spring of, Beiyang warlord government cut off education funds and defaulted on the salaries of teaching staff. Li Dazhao took the lead in fighting for the staff of eight universities in Beijing to get back their education funds and pay off their arrears of wages. Zhao Renlan fully supported him, tried his best to make ends meet, and even pawned his clothes. At this time, Zhao Renlan, under the education and influence of Li Dazhao, who founded the China * * * production party with Chen Duxiu and others, had already understood some revolutionary truths and was satisfied with the "simple living" advocated by Li Dazhao, in order to strive for the early liberation of the dying masses.
After the establishment of China * * * Production Party, Li Dazhao became the main leader of the party's organization in the north, and made every effort and selfless struggle for the liberation of the people of China. From then on, Zhao Renlan also lived a life of worrying about Li Dazhao's safety. When she came to Beijing again, in three years' time, Zhao Renlan gave birth to two children in succession, a third daughter, Zhong Hua, and a second son, Guanghua, which filled her heart with joy and confidence in life.
The only fly in the ointment is that since Li Dazhao founded the China * * * Production Party, she has no time to teach with peace of mind and frequently go south. In order to promote cooperation between the two countries and establish a revolutionary United front, she is always worried. /kloc-in the summer of 0/922, Li Dazhao went to Hangzhou to attend the special meeting of the Central West Lake and accepted the special mission of talking with Dr. Sun Yat-sen on behalf of the China * * * production party. I talked with Dr. Sun Yat-sen many times in Shanghai, and Sun Yat-sen joined the Kuomintang.
1923 at the beginning of February, he went to Wuhan to give lectures, just in time for the "227 massacre" and was wanted by the Beiyang warlord government, so he had to take refuge in Shanghai for more than two months.
After he returned to Beijing for more than a month, he went south again and went to Guangzhou to attend the third congress of the China * * * Production Party. Going to Qiu Lai in summer, Li Dazhao took a two-week leave of absence and rushed to Shanghai to attend the First Plenary Session of the Third Central Committee, to participate in the reorganization of the Kuomintang and to prepare for the first national congress of cooperation between the Kuomintang and other countries, which lasted more than a month. 192465438+1At the beginning of October, Li Dazhao went to Guangzhou via Shanghai to attend the first National Congress of the Kuomintang. During Li Dazhao's frequent southbound trip, the Li family was constantly disturbed. First, when Li was playing at the door, he was beaten by a group of hooligans. He also took the opportunity to break into the yard and rummage in Li Dazhao's study. Then one night, a mad dog somehow broke into the yard and the nurse who took care of Guanghua was bitten by the mad dog. 1923 In the winter, when Li Dazhao went to Shanghai, there were always some people wandering around the Li family, so he had to ask his younger brother Zhao Xiaofeng to help her look after the house. At that time, she was afraid of another accident at home and worried that Li Dazhao would be in trouble if he was not at home. 1924 1 and during February, Li Dazhao went to Guangzhou for a meeting, and his family was even more unstable. A few days after Li Dazhao left Beijing, a thief slipped into the yard; Every few days, she and her family found that someone left as soon as the roof was blackened, so they had to find someone to watch the night. One night, the whole family found another movement on the roof and someone jumped out of the room. They rushed into the yard to catch the thief. Although the thief was scared away, he dropped a stone and smashed a big green glazed washbasin under the eaves. Obviously, this is a "thief" who has a "tacit understanding" with the police. He is not here to steal, but to make the Li family restless and has a "political" purpose. In this case, Zhao Renlan had to look around for a house and move out of the yard before the Spring Festival. The accommodation conditions of the newly discovered Tongzizi Hutong No.3 are not ideal, but she can't think too much, just asking Li Dazhao and the whole family to be safe. 1924 In the spring, Li Dazhao came back from a meeting in Guangzhou. He was too busy finding someone to have a meeting and secretly discussing some important issues such as the organization and activities of some countries and two parties. Zhao Renlan began to worry about his health again. I don't want to. I just think of my husband. My little daughter Zhong Hua doesn't know when she will get seriously ill. Zhong Hua suffered from diphtheria, but was misdiagnosed as pneumonia and died because of treatment failure. Zhao Renlan was almost mad with grief over the death of her beloved little daughter, but she didn't blame Li Dazhao for working day and night for the revolution, but deeply blamed herself for not protecting her children well. It never rains but it pours. Shortly after Zhong Hua's death, Li Dazhao was wanted by the Beiyang warlord government, and left Beijing with Bao Hua in a hurry to take refuge in the Hanwen Temple in Wufeng Mountain in Changli. On the night he and he left Beijing, the Li family were searched by the army and the police. Zhao Renlan was glad that Li Dazhao escaped in time. Seeing that Beijing couldn't stay any longer, he returned to Daheituo with Xinghua, Yanhua and Guanghua.
1924 In late May, Zhao Renlan returned to Daheituo with his children, followed by the military police. Fortunately, he was supported by the villagers. More than 20 days later, the party organization sent someone to Daheituo to find Li Dazhao and informed him to go to Moscow to attend the fifth congress of * * * production international. She informed Li Dazhao of the place of refuge and sent someone to bring a letter to Li Dazhao. In the letter, she mainly wanted to discuss with Li Dazhao. She came forward to write a letter to Bai Jianwu, Li Dazhao's classmate friend and now the general staff of warlord Wu, asking Bai Jianwu to try to cancel the arrest warrant against Li Dazhao. She knew that Li Dazhao had broken up with Bai Jianwu after the "227 massacre", but she was too worried about Li Dazhao's safety and had to make this decision. Li Dazhao disagreed with her. In a long letter written to her on the night of bidding farewell to Wufeng Mountain, she explained why she could not do so and sent a long poem in memory of her daughter Zhong Hua. In the letter, Li Dazhao said to her earnestly: "Now, my work is very busy, and I will never have free time to take care of my family again. You should be strong, don't be anxious because of my wandering life, you should cheer up and raise and educate your children. I may come back after going abroad this time. Zhong Hua's death really made me sad, but since then, I have never thought about her in the past. I wrote a long poem for her as my last mourning for her ... "At the end of the letter, he said to her," At present, this rampant behavior of the ruler is only a temporary horror. In less than ten years, the red flag will float all over Beijing. Look at the world at that time, who is the world! " Reading this letter and Bao Hua's long poem in memory of Zhong Hua brought back from Wufeng Mountain, her eyes filled with tears. She knows that her husband, who is a cow, is too stubborn, and she must go all the way to the end, regardless of life or death. As such a man's wife, she has no reason to be timid, but to be strong, continue to shoulder the burden of family life, cheer up and raise and educate her children, so that her husband who has traveled around for the revolution has no worries.
At this time, after several years of ups and downs, Zhao Renlan felt much more mature and wanted to be a good wife of revolutionaries and a good mother of children.
