Today is the 124th anniversary of Zhou Enlai’s birth.

Some time ago, someone dug up a novel written by Premier Zhou Enlai as a teenager. When the Prime Minister was only 16 years old, he wrote a chivalrous story "The Woman Hero" under the pseudonym "Feifei". Don’t say it. It’s funny.

This story was posted on Weibo by netizens, and was praised by countless people. Many people know that Premier Zhou wrote novels, but they may not know the specific content.

What exactly is the novel about?

01

Once upon a time …

Once upon a time, there was a thin and sad boy walking in an endless wilderness. The cool wind blows the hat and the drizzle touches the clothes, which makes people feel embarrassed.

Behind the boy, followed by a white-haired old slave and a Tsing Yi. The old slave is loyal and his fighting capacity is extremely weak.

The young girl looks very courageous. She comforted the young girl and said that with me, I will never let the bad guys hurt you. We are only four miles away from our destination.

In 1911, the young Zhou Enlai took a photo.

At the beginning of the story, the atmosphere was rendered bleak and suspenseful. The reader thought it was a story of "beautiful boys and his friends’ great adventure", but after reading on, it was discovered that the protagonist the author wanted to create was Hong Feiying, a young girl in Tsing Yi.

The first chapter of the novel set up a junior for Hong Feiying: an upright girl with some high-powered martial arts in her body. Her father lives as a bodyguard. Dad Hong is a righteous and fair man, and he is an elder admired by Shiliba Village. However, his son is treacherous and greedy, and after his death, he runs rampant in the village, bullies his sister and continues to commit crimes.

In January 1920, Zhou Enlai took a photo.

At this point in the story, readers will think that the author will talk about the trivial things of the growth of the hostess.

But it didn’t. Here, I want to boast about the literary skills of Feifei. At the age of 16, I can structure a long article skillfully. He wrote a grievance first.

He said that the hostess had a girlfriend surnamed Zhang, who had a bad life and became a widow at a young age. Zhang’s father forced his daughter to remarry, and Zhang committed suicide in a hurry.

Dad Zhang falsely accused Zhang’s in-laws of forcing his daughter-in-law to death for money.

Originally, the county magistrate thought that Zhang Torre was making a lie, but Zhang Torre invited the woman’s brother and uncle to pull strings, bribed the county magistrate, and let Zhang’s in-laws go to prison.

In 1921, London was photographed.

The climax is coming! Zhang’s in-laws were trapped in prison when they saw a masked knight sneak into the cell, cut the chain three or two times, rescued them both, and then disappeared without a trace.

The parents wanted to go by boat to their nephews in other places, but they happened to meet a boatman’s daughter and sent them across the river for free.

When the parents arrived in other places, they successfully recognized their nephews. At the same time, in the county government of their hometown, the chief told the county magistrate in panic: Master is not good! The old man and the old lady in the cell have escaped!

At this point in the story, we have been able to understand what kind of person sixteen-year-old Feifei is through words.

He is full of justice, soft-blooded, and has a strong sense of good and evil. He doesn’t like the government bullying the people, so he wants to write a strong chivalrous story.

He learned cultural knowledge, accepted new ideas and supported equality between men and women, so his story takes women as the protagonist.

Teenagers always like more like-minded peers of the same age, so Hong Feiying is only sixteen or seventeen.

Feifei is also a writer with good writing style and "ambition". "The Hero of Women" has a sophisticated style and a large stall.

If the novel can continue to be serialized, I am sure I can see more exciting plots and experience more of the author’s mental journey.

But the story ends here, and the author abandons the pit.

And then …

The heroine of women was serialized in the first and second issues of Dedication in October 1914 and April 1915, only two issues.

"Dedication" is the journal edited by Zhou Enlai when he was studying in Nankai School, which belongs to the "Dedication Club" of the community. Zhou Enlai published a lot of current affairs, comments, novels, poems, translations and so on under the signatures of Feifei, Yu Xiang and Enlai.

Zhou Enlai was admitted to Nankai School in 1913. When he entered the school, he put forward five requirements for himself: "Don’t waste time studying, studying, learning, making friends and time".

He is the "man of the hour" on campus, a super schoolmaster and the backbone of the community. He has a talent for literature and art, he can edit school journals, write novels, and even dress up as a woman and appear in plays many times.

He played Sun Huijuan in One Yuan Qian, Fan Huiniang in Qiu Auntie, and the incense burner in Fenjiu Yuan … all of them were cross-dressing, and every time they went on stage, they swept the audience.

Zhou Enlai (second from left) plays Fan Huiniang in "Aunt Qiu".

Zhou Enlai (first from right) plays the heroine Sun Huijuan in the new drama One Yuan Qian.

Zhou Enlai (sitting in the front row) took a group photo with teachers and classmates of Nankai School.

But he can’t study, play a drama or write a series with peace of mind, and be a pure famous scholar. 1915 was a year that made countless Chinese angry.

In January of that year, Japan submitted "Twenty-one Articles" to Yuan Shikai, which aroused public anger. In December, Yuan Shikai announced the overthrow of the Republic and the restoration of the monarchy. The country was in turmoil, and Zhou Enlai and his classmates were angry and anxious.

Instead of writing novels, he wrote "On How Difficult It is to Consolidate the Country" and issued a cry of national salvation: "I hope that the Chinese people will not fail."

He put more energy into his study. On June 26, 1917, he graduated from Nankai School with an average score of 89.72 as an excellent student with both arts and sciences.

After graduation, he went to Japan to study and wrote down the agreement that "I would like to meet when China takes off in the world".

In September 1919, Zhou Enlai became the first liberal arts student in Nankai University. During his study, he devoted his main energy to leading the patriotic student movement in Tianjin. In July 1919, he founded Tianjin Student Union Newspaper and served as editor-in-chief. In September, the organization founded the revolutionary group Enlightenment Society.

On September 16, 1919, Zhou Enlai (in the back row) took a group photo with members of the Enlightenment Society.

Around the May 4th Movement, with the spread of Marxism in China, a group of advanced China intellectuals, inspired by the victory of the October Revolution, went to the European continent to work and study, looking for a way to save the country.

In December 1920, Zhou Enlai went to France to work and study.

In 1921, he began to collect and write a lot of international news, and wrote a newsletter for Yishi Daily all night, commenting on international events. It was in that year that the Chinese Communist Party initiated the decision to set up a communist group in Paris, France. Five party member, Zhang Shenfu, Zhao Shiyan, Zhou Enlai, Liu Qingyang and Chen Gongpei, who were in France at that time, formed the early party organization-the Communist Group in France.

In May 1922, under the preparation of several people, China teenager communist party was founded. Zhao Shiyan is the secretary, Zhou Enlai is the propaganda committee member and Li Weihan is the organizing committee member.

In the spring of 1921, Zhou Enlai joined the Communist Party of China (CPC). This is him and party introducer Zhang Shenfu (first from the right) and Liu Qingyang in Wansai Lake in Berlin, with Zhao Guangchen on the left.

In 1922, Zhou Enlai was in Wansai Lake in Berlin.

It was here that Zhou Enlai established his belief in communism and became one of the earliest party member in the Communist Party of China (CPC).

In the autumn of 1924, he returned to the motherland; In 1927, he led the third armed uprising of Shanghai workers and drove away the Beiyang warlord troops stationed in Shanghai.

In the same year, he was elected as a member of the Central Committee at the Fifth National Congress of the Communist Party of China and members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee at the First Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

With his initial ideal, he walked on the road of saving the country step by step, and gradually grew into the familiar "Zhou Enlai", shouldering an increasingly heavy burden for the rise of China.

When China finally rose and New China was founded, he finally became the beloved "Premier Zhou".

After a long time.

After the founding of New China, Zhou Enlai held several posts, and was busy with everything.

He never wrote chivalrous novels again, but he always kept the artists and artists in mind.

He protects the artists in China in his own way. When he learned that Cheng Yanqiu, a Peking Opera master who was over 50 years old, had not joined the Party, he personally acted as a party introducer for Cheng Yanqiu.

When he heard that the painter Qi Baishi’s house was in disrepair, he immediately sent someone to repair it. Qi Baishi celebrated his 90th birthday, and he personally went to celebrate his birthday.

Zhou Enlai and Qi Baishi

Whenever there is an opportunity, he will meet people in the literary and art circles and talk about art and life with them. Once he met a group of actors and remembered that one of the actors’ children was ill, so he first asked the actor if the doll was ill, which moved the actor to tears almost on the spot.

Zhou Enlai meets Peking Opera master Zhang Chunqiu.

He cares about artists and tries his best to protect works of art. On the eve of the liberation of Ningbo, he specifically told that Tianyi Pavilion in Ningbo must be protected, because it is the oldest private library in China.

He remembered the cultural relics lost overseas, instructed the establishment of a cultural relics acquisition team, and secretly acquired many national treasures. Wang Xianzhi’s Mid-Autumn Festival Post, Gu Hongzhong’s Han Xizai’s Night Banquet, such as Dong Yuan’s Xiaoxiang Map and Song Huizong’s Xianglong Stone Map, all returned to the embrace of the motherland.

He will even fuck over two trees. When Beijing built Metro Line 1, it was found that there were two ancient ginkgo trees left in the Yuan Dynasty at Yuquan Road. The relevant departments reported and Zhou Enlai gave instructions: modify the subway construction plan, extend the distance between Yuquan Road Station and Babaoshan Station subway, and preserve ancient trees.

Two silent lives have lived quietly until now.

The ancients said, "Make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the people, carry forward the past and learn from the past, and make peace for all generations."

Throughout the ages, how many Chinese took this sentence as a high ideal of life, struggling for life and hoping to realize it.

And Zhou Enlai did it. He shed his blood and sweat with countless heroic ancestors for the new China.

Perhaps, the only thing he didn’t do in his life was to write down the beginning of the heroine, but then stop writing. What happened afterwards, there is no decomposition.

"The author went to save the Chinese nation, and the novel stopped indefinitely …"

However, perhaps, as netizens said, the end of the novel is "New China".
