By chance, I learned that the daughter of Liang Qichao, a famous thinker and scholar in China's modern history, lived in Jinan, even beside us. I hardly believe it. These days, the media, large and small, are everywhere, and things will be fried all over the sky. Where can a hermit hide? However, on the press day, under the leadership of Zhang Anqiu, director of the Family Planning Office of Shandong University, I met this famous woman, Ms. Liang Sining, who lives in the office of retired cadres on Yishou Road in the south of the school. Teacher Zhang is her second daughter.
Pushing open the door, an old man stood in front of him. Not tall, a little thin, a typical southern figure; Gray hair, gray clothes and trousers, which are very common costumes for elderly intellectual women; The cheeks are slightly concave, the eye sockets are deep, and a pair of eyes are particularly big. What impresses people most is her eyes, which are deep, sharp and full of connotation, as if they are in your heart.
Ms Liang Sining was born in 19 16. Compared with her peers, she walks lightly, but her hearing and memory decline. She is the youngest daughter of Liang Qichao. She was only 13 years old when her father died. When talking about her impression of her father, she made a gesture of holding a pen with her hand and described, "Every time I go to the study and push the door, I will see my father standing in front of a big desk, holding a pen and coughing while writing." He always writes at his desk, and he writes quickly, as if it were effortless. ""He likes every child, but he is always busy and seldom takes his children to play. Sometimes when he is happy, he will call us children to him and lead us to play. He is especially fond of his youngest son, Li Si. I am the youngest daughter, and he is also very spoiled, sometimes hugging me. " "My father once asked one of his students to teach us specially, so we stopped studying at home for a year and studied ancient Chinese with the teacher for a year." "When my father died, he called all the children he could call to him, but he couldn't say anything. He was lying in the hospital bed, as if asleep ... "The old man spoke standard Beijing dialect, with a clear voice and clear pronunciation.
Talking about the father's education for his children, the old man said that older children are deeply influenced by their fathers. The second brother (Si Cheng), the third brother (Si Yong) and the fourth brother (Si Chong) are all directly taught by their fathers in their study and life. After all, we children spend a short time with our fathers. "It is my mother who takes care of the children. After her father died, she supported the whole family. " Liang Qichao had two wives in his life. First wife Li Huixian and second wife Wang Guiquan. Li Furen gave birth to Si Shun, Sisheng and Sizhuang, and Mrs. Wang gave birth to Siyong, Sizhong, Sizhong, Siyi, Sining and Li Si. Li Furen was born in a noble family and was good at poetry, calligraphy and lyrics. Mrs. Wang was born in poverty and had no chance to read and write when she was young. But she's smart and studious. 1898 After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Liang Qichao fled to Japan, and later, his wife and children also came to Japan. Mrs. Wang quickly learned to speak fluent Tokyo dialect here, broadened her horizons and accepted the new trend of thought in the modern west. Later, I learned to read books and newspapers and write some simple letters. She is Li Furen's right-hand man and supports the life of the whole extended family. She understands and supports Liang Qichao's career. After the death of 1924, Li Huixian entrusted several children to Wang Guiquan. Wang Guiquan treated them as his own and raised them carefully. The children are very filial to her and think that she is "a very important person in Liang's family".
I watched her carefully as the old man slowly told those past events. Her face is chiseled and her eyes are deep, which not only reflects her mother's dignified and generous legacy, but also reflects her father's insight into everything. Most of Liang Qichao's children have studied abroad and made great achievements in the scientific and academic circles. Only Liang Sining took a completely different road from his brothers and became the "old revolution" in this ancient family. People who don't know all the details may think that this is a story of a "family rebel". In fact, making this choice was unique not only for Liang Sining at that time, but also for any intellectual with a sense of justice-because it was a special period when the country was in crisis.
1937 when War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, Liang Sining was studying at Nankai University in Tianjin. After the Japanese army occupied Peiping and Tianjin, although North China was very big, there was no room for a quiet desk, so Liang Sining dropped out of school. Social unrest, can't find a job, also dare not go out to visit friends, go out and you will see Japanese soldiers bullying and insulting China people. At that time, their home was located in the Italian concession, and there was a lonely building not far away. Nobody knows what this is for. Sitting at home when the wind is downwind, I often hear screams from that house, which is creepy.
"One night, my mother and I were walking in an alley when I suddenly felt someone pulling my coat and said in a hoarse voice,' Please, ladies and gentlemen!' I looked down and saw a yellow and thin disabled person. He said:' I am a college student, and my school was bombed. I came out looking for a job and accidentally approached the house. Suddenly, a few Japanese with five big and three thick came out and pulled me in. There are all kinds of instruments of torture in the room, and people on all kinds of instruments of torture are tortured, screaming and groaning. Two gangsters ordered me to kneel on a red-hot oil drum, and immediately there was a choking smoke burning fur, which was painful and worrying! Seeing that my knee was about to be burned, the cruel executioner threw me out of the door. I woke up and stretched my legs. Oh, my God! My legs have turned into right triangles, and I will never stand up! That house is a killing ground for testing new instruments of torture! My mother and I were filled with indignation and burst into tears. We sympathized with him, gave him some money and hurried home. "
This experience deeply stimulated Liang Sining, who understood what the life of the "conquered" was like. The fate of the country and her personal future made her extremely distressed, and she always wanted to get rid of this suffocating environment. My younger brother is still young, and several brothers and sisters are far abroad. She often writes to Sisi Lee, her fifth sister in Shanghai, telling her difficulties and finding a way out.
"The place you want to go is full of hope ..."
Liang Siyi 1933 was admitted to the pre-medical class in yenching university, and she was going to study medicine in Union Medical College three years later. However, at the critical moment of national peril, Siyi devoted himself to the student movement from the second half of 1935. She is aggressive. She used to be the captain of the "vanguard of Chinese national liberation" of Yan 'an University, participated in the "December 9" movement, and was called "Yanjing Sanjie" with Wang who led the demonstrations of Yan 'an college students at that time. 1937, Siyi attended a training class for exiled students in Ping Jin and went south to petition for resistance to Japan. Later, she was sent to Shanghai to work as a female worker in the labor department of the YWCA.
1940 At the end of March, Sining received a letter from Sisi Lee. The letter said that Wang Huisheng had a baby and would return to the south in a few days. "A good opportunity has come. You must go to the interview in person, maybe you can realize your long-cherished wish. " Wang participated in the revolution for many years (later renamed Kang Ying). She told Sining a lot of revolutionary truth, introduced the general situation of the * * * production party, and told her that the New Fourth Army is an army led by the * * * production party and a real anti-Japanese army. The old man Sining recalled fondly: "Sister Kang Ying's talk aroused my patriotic thoughts, and a slap in the face from the Japanese devils (I was beaten by Japanese soldiers when I passed the Kazikou on the way to meet my sister Kang Ying) made me determined to leave the occupied area of Tianjin, a hell on earth. I asked Sister Kang: Can I join the New Fourth Army? She looked at me in surprise and said that revolution is not a game. The minimum condition is that you are not afraid of death, hardship and fatigue. You must March for a long time, and you may die in the war. Can you stand it? I said: Yes! Can you be more bitter than the conquered? "
Back home, Sining lied to her mother that she was going to Shanghai to go to college, so as not to worry the old man. On April 6th, 1940, their mother sent them to the ship at Tanggu pier.
Siyi took the boat at the Bund Pier in Shanghai, settled them down, and carefully studied the route of finding the New Fourth Army with Kang Ying. It is decided to go from Shanghai via Ningbo, Yinxian, Shengxian and Jinhua, and then to southern Anhui, with Jiangzhan District along the way. Compared with other routes, this route is short and simple, but it may also be risky.
On April 12, Sisi Lee bid farewell to Kang Ying and Sining. Sisi Lee earnestly charged: "June 6 (the nickname of Sining), say goodbye today, I don't know when, when can we meet again!" My sister and I are inseparable from kindergarten to junior high school. You have been relying on me for years. Starting today, you have to do it yourself. "The place you want to go is full of hope, and it is also the place that all patriots yearn for. We should cherish this opportunity and stick to it, never back down. Remember! Advance is life, retreat is death. Back off, you have this idea! Shanghai is not a place to stay for a long time. I will leave Shanghai in the future. Are you still willing to go back to Tianjin? " Three people broke up in tears. Under the leadership of Sister Kang, Sining had a hard time all the way, and was also placed under house arrest by the Kuomintang in Jinhua for seven days. After their quick escape, they were sent to the boundary between the two armies, and then transported by four military stations, and finally arrived at Yunling, Jingxian County, Anhui Province, where the New Fourth Army is located. Here, the two broke up, Kang Ying returned to the base area in northern Anhui, and Sining came to the headquarters of the New Fourth Army 123 detachment in Shuixi Village, Liyang, Jiangsu Province, and was assigned to work in the field army, working in Chen Yi and Su Yu.
Life has turned a new page in front of Liang Sining. She kept telling herself in her heart that everything had to be learned from scratch. She is a revolutionary soldier, not a common people. The New Fourth Army is indeed a big school, where she not only learned many revolutionary truths that were unknown before, but also saw many brave and fearless heroes who can stand the test of life and death.
1one night in may, 940, when the troops were crossing an enemy-occupied highway blockade, they met a Japanese patrol and were attacked by the enemy. When AFS soldiers rushed forward, Sning witnessed many comrades being shot down beside him. Just joined the army for more than 20 days, she experienced such a thrilling scene, but there was no retreat behind her, only to rush forward without hesitation! This young student from a big city, on the battlefield of blood and fire, really realized for the first time what is a life-and-death struggle, and really understood the meaning of what Sister Kang Ying and Sister Sisi Lee said: If you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die.
In the New Fourth Army, Sining was mainly engaged in propaganda work. Wherever the team went, they quickly went deep into the people and learned about the local customs and the struggle against the enemy. Then, according to the first-hand materials, they immediately compiled short plays, live news dramas and other cultural programs to publicize anti-Japanese, anti-exploitation, anti-oppression and women's liberation, and performed them among the people. Their performances are always very popular because the materials are real and vivid, and they are based on the people.
Speaking of this life, the old man is particularly excited, and his deep eyes are shining with youthful brilliance. The reporter asked her: "Are you used to living such a turbulent life from the big cities in the north to the lonely, wet and rainy rural areas in the south?" Do you feel bitter? "Unexpectedly, the old man immediately replied brightly:" What a pain! There is nothing happier than this! ""Comrades work and live together all day, without looking at the Japanese face or living in fear. They are in a particularly good mood. Every time you win a battle, the people will beat gongs and drums to send condolences, which is not so happy! " The old man repeated. Perhaps, as people often say, years will filter out memories, pain and haze will disappear with water, leaving behind happiness and sunshine forever. During the war, Liang Sining quickly grew into a real revolutionary fighter. 194 1, she gloriously joined the producer party in China. If her father Liang Qichao represented the most advanced intellectuals in China at the end of 19, then, in the face of national and national crisis, she bravely went to the front line of anti-Japanese war and firmly followed the China * * * production party. Like her parents, she stood at the forefront of the times and represented the most revolutionary and advanced force in China. However, due to the influence of the "Left" trend of thought, her father Liang Qichao did not bring her any glory, but it was always the shadow of her fate.
With the fighting of the troops, Liang Sining later came to the Shandong Liberated Area. From 65438 to 0946, she met and combined with Comrade Zhang Ke, who also grew from a young student to a revolutionary cadre. 1948, the husband found three traitors and wanted to report to the organization, but they complained first and then bit back, saying that Sean and his wife were traitors because she was Liang Qichao's daughter. The charge is actually "Liang Qichao's daughter!" Of course, three real traitors have not escaped the punishment of history, and Liang Sining is a traitor. Although there is no evidence, it is true that he is Liang Qichao's daughter! This unchangeable fact has turned into a heinous crime.
1948, Liang Sining was expelled from the party and became the enemy of the people. "I don't cause! I was afraid that I was crazy, so I advised myself to be strong for a long time. My husband also told me that there will always be results in the future. " What she can't stand most is being rejected as a different kind. "Do the hardest and most tiring work, I don't say anything. I can endure any hardship. I think I am party member, and I have to do whatever party member asks me to do, even if I am not party member, party member asks me to do. But every meeting was rejected, and I couldn't stand it. " The old man's eyes are moist.
Her husband, Zhang Ke, was a Kaifeng student leader in the "December 9th" movement, and was a tried and tested old party member and old revolutionary. He knew that his wife had no second thoughts about the party, so he repeatedly appealed for her. Because of this, during the Cultural Revolution, he was falsely accused by the "rebels" as a "veteran of reversing his conviction" and was also treated unfairly. Having said that, the old man gave a bitter smile.
From 1948 to 1983, Liang Sining was from 32 to 67 years old, which was the best years in his life and the most capable age, so it cast a shadow. But Liang Sining didn't feel depressed. She tried her best to take care of her five children without distracting her husband. At the same time, she resisted this great mental pressure with great will. She has also seen many people who can't stand the injustice and go to the wall. "That's not worth it. People are not a little difficult, not a lifetime. " She stared at me and said slowly, "History will tell you who is right and who is wrong, who is good and who is bad." It is with this unwavering belief in the party and the people that she has survived sleepless nights and 35 years of cold and heat, and finally ushered in a day of recovery when the year is approaching! At this point, the strong man's voice choked.
I wanted to know what the old man thought of his life, so I asked her, "What would have happened if he hadn't left Tianjin?" The old man immediately asked me, "Don't go? Being a housewife? Get married as a wife? I won't do it if I find a traitor. I can't find a job at all, especially if I can't stand the Japanese! " It can be seen that even after repeated hardships and setbacks, the elderly always have no regrets about their choices when they were young!
I am a child of an ordinary family.
I have always felt that it is a mystery that the descendants of such a famous person live quietly around us. We will know the reason after in-depth conversation with the old man. "When they came to interview me, they all asked what happened to Liang Qichao's daughter. What happened to Liang Qichao's daughter? The descendants of celebrities should not add the aura of their ancestors to themselves. Personal history should be written by oneself, not by ancestors. I said, I am an ordinary party member, an ordinary child in a family! "
The old man looks like his father's eyes, bright and dignified, and he chooses his words carefully and lays the floor!
But I still want to say: Is it Liang Qichao's daughter?
