Chapter 22 Fu Lei's suicide note①

This is the last letter from my parents.Written in the middle of the night on September 2, 1966, and in the early morning of September 3, my parents passed away calmly and frankly with hatred.At that time, my brother was far away in England, and although I was in Beijing, I was like a mud bodhisattva crossing a river.Therefore, the suicide note was written to my uncle Zhu Renxiu. ——Fu Min Renxiu: Although the so-called anti-Party evidence (a small mirror and a faded old pictorial) was found in our house, and it is hard to argue with anyone, we would not admit it to our death (it was sorted out in the deposit box). things).Even though we have committed thousands of crimes, we have never thought of changing the sky.We also know that although the criminal evidence found is hard to argue, under the leadership of the wise Communist Party and the great Chairman Mao, the People's Republic of China will never give a heavy sentence for it.It's just that the grievances are not clear, and the days that cannot be washed away are more sad than going to jail.What's more, just educating a traitor, Fu Cong, is more than enough to die in front of the people!What's more, dregs like us from the old society should have automatically withdrawn from the stage of history long ago!

Because you are Mei Fu's elder brother, and because we have no close relatives, we can only entrust you with the care of the aftermath. If it is inconvenient for you to accept it due to your position, please ask your superior or the court for instructions before proceeding. The number of entrustments is as follows: 1. Pay the September rent of 55.29 yuan (with cash). 2. Shen Zhongzhang, Room 606, Wukang Building (bottom of Huaihai Road), asked to repair an Omega automatic men's watch, please return it. 3. Renxiu handles the remaining funds left by the old mother. 4. An old wall watch (steel) and an old girl's watch, as a gift to the nanny Zhou Judi.

A deposit slip of five or six hundred yuan was given to Zhou Judi for living expenses during the transitional period.She is a working people, lonely all her life, we don't want her to suffer for no reason. 6. Aunt Fu Yi deposited a slip of paper of 600 yuan in our house, please return it. 7. The receipt for the cemetery in Lianyi Shanzhuang, which was deposited by my aunt Fu Yi, has been searched by the Red Guards this time and I can't find it anywhere. I'm sorry. 8. Aunt Fu Yi deposited ornaments in our house, which were taken and confiscated by the Red Guards at the same time as our own. We could only use three deposit slips (370 yuan in total) and three small deposits as compensation.

9. The accessories that the third sister Zhu Chun deposited in our house were also confiscated. Please apologize.Two of her suitcases (on the third floor) are temporarily sealed, and one porcelain wooden box will be collected by you after the government unseals it.There are still several pieces of furniture, just ask Zhou Judi. 10. An old Omega automatic men's watch for personal use, and another old men's watch. It was originally intended to be given to Miner and ×××, but it might hinder their political stance, so I asked Renxiu to handle it freely. 11. A cash of 53.30 yuan will be used as our cremation fee.

12. The furniture borrowed by the Song family upstairs will be taken back by Chen Shutao according to the order. Thirteen, own furniture, by you.It's really disturbing to wait for the public to make you suffer for us, but there is no one else to trust, forgive me! ① For the various twists and turns of the suicide note being able to meet readers today, please refer to "Fu Lei's Family" (edited by Ye Yonglie, published by Tianjin People's Publishing House in 1986.) ② There is a portrait of Chiang Kai-shek behind the small mirror, and Song Meiling's photo is published in the pictorial photo.This is what my aunt kept in the box at my house before liberation.Our family never moves things deposited by others.
