Commemorative activities. On August 9, through the Party History Office of Zhenhai District, the reporter interviewed Chen Yun and Chen Ting, the daughter of martyr Chen shouchang, who lived in Shanghai. The two 70 year olds said that their father was still so affectionate. They said: "when his father died, his 28th birthday was only six days old! At that time, his sister Chen Yun was only four years old and his sister Chen Ting was only two years old. It took 17 years for my family to know the bad news. Although our understanding of my father's life is gathered from the memory of my mother, grandmother, relatives and friends, as well as my father's old comrades in arms, my father is always an "eternal monument" in our mind. 12 years ago, my mother died and was buried in Zhenhai. Every year, we go to shouchang Park in Zhenhai to visit my mother's mausoleum. " In this way, the reporter learned a lot of valuable historical materials about martyr Chen shouchang from his two daughters.

I had a bowl of rice with Liu Shaoqi

Chen shouchang was born in Zhenhai, Ningbo on November 15, 1906. He is now a poor scholar's disciple at No.53, Gulou West Road, Chengguan, and No.20, canghetou. When he was about 15 or 16 years old, his family came to Shanghai from his hometown Zhenhai, and then moved to Hankou, Anqing and other places. He joined the party in 1924.

In 1926, under the leadership of Li Lisan, Liu Shaoqi and other comrades, workers organized trade unions to cooperate with the victory of the Northern Expedition army and recover the three towns of Wuhan. At the beginning of 1927, he participated in the anti British demonstrations and processions attended by 300000 people. According to their two daughters, their grandmother recalled the time when her father was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat. Once many people came to a meeting upstairs, but they didn't leave until noon. My father went downstairs and asked my grandmother to cook some food. Grandmother said, many people eat, the family pot is too small, whether to buy a big? Father thought about it, are good friends, don't buy, lest too ostentatious, take the basin to cook. Later, I learned that one of the guests who ate the meal cooked in the washbasin was Liu Shaoqi.

In the winter of 1927, Chen shouchang was appointed secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Federation of trade unions. In February 1928, he was a member of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee. In March, he also served as the Secretary of the CPC Zhabei District Committee. In April, he was also a member of the staff Movement Committee of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee. In July, he was transferred to Huxi District Committee.

He is one of the "three Chens of teke" led by Zhou Enlai

From the end of September to October 1927, the leading organ of the CPC Central Committee moved from Wuhan to Shanghai. Under the direct leadership of Zhou Enlai, the political security organization of the CPC Central Committee, teke, was established. Chen shouchang was transferred to the central special branch and became one of the "three Chens" (Chen Geng, Chen shouchang and Chen Yangshan) led by Zhou Enlai. Chen shouchang was mainly responsible for intelligence and transportation work. He contacted Li Kenong, Qian Zhuangfei and Hu Di, who had broken into the enemy's tiger hole, and passed on the information they had obtained to Zhou Enlai, Secretary of the Central Military Commission. In order to facilitate his work, Chen shouchang got married in 1928 and took his home as the "Office of the government".

Chen shouchang's daughter learned from her mother that there were only a few people who could often go in and out of their home in those years. Among them, Lianxie (her mother didn't know the real name of Lianxie was Chen Geng until her father left Shanghai for Ruijin) was a frequent visitor. If anyone else came to their home alone, their parents would move immediately. Chen's wife once told the children that she and their father lived in almost every district of Shanghai at that time. The longest living time is only two or three months, sometimes several times a month. Chen shouchang's wife once introduced to the children that their father did not smoke or drink, had been married to her for three years and had not bought a new dress. Comrades in arms recalled that Chen shouchang often wore an old grey cloth gown. At that time, it was very difficult for the party to spend money on activities. He sold off the jewelry from his wife's dowry to support his family. At one time, all the 96 yuan from jewelry exchange was given to the party organization as activity funds. At that time, it was very cheap to take a tram in Shanghai. Three or four coppers could take a long way, but he walked most of the time instead of taking a bus. In April 1931, Gu Shunzhang, who participated in the leadership of the central special branch, was arrested and defected. Chen shouchang's work became more busy and tense, and he often stayed up all night. It turned out that he was notifying the relevant comrades to do the transfer work. It was at that time that Comrade Li Qiang (former Minister of the Ministry of foreign trade of the people's Republic of China), who retired, was informed by him and transferred in time.

General Chen Geng wants Chen Ting's child's surname to be Chen

One day in December 1931, Chen shouchang calmly told his wife that the organization decided to ask him to go to the Soviet Area and could not go with her because his wife was pregnant (at that time, his wife had been pregnant with Chen ting for four months). He asked his wife to take her two-year-old daughter back to Zhenhai with his mother. Unexpectedly, this walk has become the eternal formula for him and his family.

From Nie Rongzhen's memoirs, we know that Chen shouchang went to the Soviet Area with Nie Shuai. It took them a month to arrive at Ruijin. About the end of February 1932, his wife happily received the only letter he sent from Fujian. The main idea of the letter is "I arrived at the place of origin safely. There are plenty of goods, many varieties, and the business is booming. Please don't worry about In the future, your letters can be sent to the Yulong Xingbao, Longyan. The peace reported in the letter means that the revolutionary cause is developing day by day and has a bright future. Later, Chen shouchang's family sent letters several times according to the address on the letter, but they were all like stone sinking into the sea.

Before long, Chen Ting was born, and his wife dragged her two young daughters and her old mother-in-law through a very difficult life. At that time, the situation was turbulent, the Japanese invaders invaded China, Zhenhai fell, and prices soared. His wife had to foster her eldest daughter Chen Yun in her aunt's mother's home, and she went to work everywhere. Sometimes when she came home from the tobacco factory, there was dust in her eyes and nose, and her hands were torn by tobacco leaves After 17 years, the whole country was finally liberated.

After liberation, the family held a glimmer of hope and inquired about Chen shouchang everywhere. His old comrades in arms also went to find the whereabouts of his family. Deng Hong, director of the Security Bureau of the Hunan Hubei Jiangxi provincial Party committee at that time and vice governor of Jiangxi Province after liberation, wrote a memorial article in Jiangxi Daily in 1951 to commemorate the party's "July 1st" birthday, especially mentioning Chen shouchang, hoping that his relatives could see him. Later, when Comrade Deng Hong saw Chen shouchang's wife for the first time, he was so excited that he held her hands tightly and tears filled his eyes. Later, Chen shouchang's old comrades in arms, such as Chen Geng, Chen Yangshan, Tan Qilong, Liu Yutang and Jiang Shuqing, who had been together in the central special branch and the battle between Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, all came to see his wife. From their mouths, his family knew what happened after Chen shouchang arrived in the Soviet area.

At the beginning of 1961, General Chen Geng was seriously ill and lived in Shanghai Huadong Hospital. The general has a wish: goodbye to Chen shouchang's wife. Ten days before the death of General Chen Geng, he came to Chen shouchang's humble home by two guards. General Chen Geng and Chen shouchang's wife talked about Chen shouchang again. Both of them were in tears When General Chen Geng heard that Chen Ting was pregnant, he immediately said to his wife, "the child must be Chen, a descendant of Chen shouchang, and should inherit his grandfather's will! He also said to his wife in Ningbo Dialect," Comrade shouchang died for the revolution, his sacrifice and his love. "
