Chapter 57 Fifty-seventh day in Hong Kong is very cold

The Du mansion in Hong Kong is different from any other Du mansion, that is, the Kennedy family is deserted and there are few cars and horses. The lively scenery of the Du family for decades seems to have become a thing of the past. He was neglected by people, but because he was sick and the situation in the mainland took a turn for the worse. Hong Kong is a place where both the KMT and the Communist Party are openly engaging in right and wrong. He deliberately avoided the limelight and entanglement.Not long after arriving in Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng asked Yuan Shushan to take a look at him. At that time, Yuan Shushan once said seriously:

"Mr. Du, in the recent period, you'd better close the door and thank guests without seeing anyone, otherwise, I'm afraid something will happen." Yuan Shushan's words hit Du Yuesheng's heart, so he ordered someone to write a note and stick it on the door of the room, saying: "Follow the doctor's advice, due to illness, visitors are not allowed." The note was posted, but it was quite effective, but one day, when Zhang Gongquan came to visit, he stepped into the room. Because he wanted to be a good friend, Du Yuesheng had to meet the guest with illness. destroy.

During 1949 and 1950, Du Yuesheng lived in Hong Kong for a long time. Although he was afraid of trouble and entanglement, his lively heart was not weakened by his poor health. I hope that my family, relatives and friends will move around more often and come here often. Every morning, Gu Jiatang, the old brother of the "Little Stereotyped Party" and "the only one remaining", was probably the first to arrive. He made a special trip to make a round trip and asked Sheng Yuesheng if he slept well last night.Did you get up and take your medicine this morning?Rain or shine, he would leave after asking. Sometimes he didn't have to see Brother Yuesheng. When it was time for lunch, if he didn't have any social intercourse, the lunch would most likely be eaten at Du's house.If Du Yuesheng is in good spirits, he will accompany Du Yuesheng, otherwise, he will accompany his acquaintances in the dining room outside the Du mansion.Gu Jiatang never liked the Communist Party all his life. After Shanghai was liberated, he cursed whenever he mentioned the Communist Party.He said that as long as the Communist Party is in Shanghai, he would rather die outside than turn back and suffer.

Like Du Yuesheng and Gu Jiatang, Jin Tingsun held the same resolute anti-communist attitude. Jin Tingsun escaped very thoroughly this time. The whole family, including four sons and four wives, all moved to Hong Kong.He is also determined to never deal with the Communist Party. Unexpectedly, his wife is homesick and impatient, and she doesn't know who has listened to someone's instigation. .The old lady Jin brought 3 daughters-in-law recklessly, and the 4 female generals drove back to Shanghai from Hong Kong. Old brothers like Du Yuesheng, Jin Tingsun, and Gu Jiatang tried hard to persuade the third sister-in-law of Jin.According to Jin Sansao's opinion, she insisted on taking the four daughters-in-law back together. Fortunately, the eldest and youngest mother were waiting to give birth in a Hong Kong hospital, so they were finally exempted from traveling with them and suffered a lot of setbacks and hardships.

Jin Sansao brought three young wives back to Shanghai, which really frightened Du Yuesheng and Jin Tingsun and cost them a lot of money.Because after returning to Shanghai, Mrs. Jin San lived in the Jin Mansion in Zhujiamu Bridge near the cattle killing company, and she was safe and sound for a period of time.The Communist Party launched a liquidation struggle and anti-three anti-five evils. Trucks full of death row inmates headed for execution in the suburbs of Zhujiamu Bridge drove by every day. This scared Mrs. Jin's heart and made her panic. After returning to Hong Kong, three young wives were left behind, and the fourth young wives were Du Yuesheng's second daughter, Du Meixia.

Du Yuesheng tried his best in Hong Kong to rescue his second lady. At first, Du Yuesheng ordered his second son-in-law, Jin Yuanji, to write to Shanghai to ask Du Meixia to come out. Because Du Yuesheng was critically ill, he sent an urgent telegram, and Miss Du returned to Hong Kong. At the same time, Mrs. Chen, Du Yuesheng's wife on the second floor, had been to Taiwan once before Du Yuesheng went to Hong Kong, and wanted to settle in Taiwan.When Du Yuesheng arrived in Hong Kong, she also came to Hong Kong from Taiwan to make a phone call. The husband and wife were not congenial, so Mrs. Chen went back to Shanghai with Weihan and Weining. After this trip, she never came back.

During this period, although there were few people in the Du mansion, the dining room still prepared two tables of meals at noon every day, one round table and one square table. Usually, the round table must be full, and the round table cannot be seated, and then a square table will be opened. a seat. In addition to Du Yuesheng's son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, Gu Jiatang, Jin Tingsun, Wang Xinheng, Luo Qinghua, Shen Chubao, etc., Du Yuesheng's cousin Zhu Wende and the manager Wan Molin were among those who often came to the Du mansion for lunch. In Hong Kong, the two generals Heng Ha, Zhu and Wan, who were often close to Du Yuesheng, both rented a house in Kennedy for the convenience of communication, and it was very close to Du's mansion, which was next door.Zhu Wende's family lived in No. 10 Kennedy, and Wan Molin's family lived in No. 6.
