Chapter 9 2. Reluctantly parting with Moscow, saying goodbye to children, and returning to China day and night to prepare for "One Soviet Union"

Zhou Yuelin, also known as Zhou Xiuying, was born on December 27, 1906 in a poor fisherman's family in Shanghai. Four years later, the mother gave birth to a younger brother.In order to reduce the burden, she was sent to foster care at her grandmother's house in the countryside. At the age of 9, her father took her back to Shanghai and sent her to a yarn factory to work as a yarn picker, looking for food in the misery to support herself. At the age of 17, she entered the Yangshupu Dakang Spinning Mill run by the Japanese. In 1924, the Workers Club, a night school for workers founded by the underground party, began to accept revolutionary theory.During the "May 30th" Movement that shocked China and the world, the workers of the Dakang Spinning Mill responded positively and persisted in the strike for 77 days.She encouraged female working sisters to participate in a general strike and took the lead in street demonstrations.During this general strike movement, she was introduced to join the party by night school teacher Zhang Qinqiu, and then secretly engaged in the party's underground work.

The revolution in full swing continuously inspires and cultivates Zhou Yuelin, and also gives birth to her love.In the difficult and dangerous struggle, Zhou Yuelin fell in love with Zhang Zuochen, one of the leaders of the "May 30th" Movement, and they were married. In October 1926, the first armed workers' uprising in Shanghai failed, and Zhou Yuelin's identity was accidentally exposed.At that time, she was doing confidential work in the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions.In the crisis, the party organization asked her to transfer quickly. In the autumn of 1926, Zhou Yuelin, who was only 20 years old, secretly entered the Vladivostok Party School of the Soviet Union for further studies.

Soon, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "Four? One Two" counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai. The famous worker leader Zhang Zuochen was the first to bear the brunt. Unfortunately, he was arrested and died heroically. He was only 21 years old when he died. Vladivostok is located on the Sino-Soviet border.It was the bridgehead for the Soviet Union to export revolution to China.In the Vladivostok Party School, the Third Communist International specially set up a Chinese class to train cadres for the Chinese revolution. The north wind is bitter, and the Siberian cold current is biting, and it is difficult for ordinary southerners to adapt.Living in a foreign country with no relatives, Zhou Yuelin met Liang Baitai, the secretary of the Chinese Party branch and political teacher shortly after entering the party school.Received his care and care, in the loneliness and cold, she ushered in the blooming season of love again, and fell in love with Liang Baitai at first sight, and got married soon after the approval of the organization.Marriage changed the trajectory of her life. One year later, after finishing her studies, Zhou Yuelin was transferred to Khabarovsk along with Liang Baitai.Zhou Yuelin served as the director of the Chinese Labor Club.Liang Baitai specialized in red legal research, engaged in judicial work, and served as a judge in the Khabarovsk Provincial Court.

Even in the remotest corners of the earth, there is always a red silk thread that can't be broken, which is tied to the heart of a child.News of the domestic workers' and peasants' revolution spread to the Soviet Union.Zhou Yuelin, Liang Baitai and their friends Liu Bojian, Xiao Jinguang, and Liu Bocheng, who also studied military in the Soviet Union, often got together to talk about their desire to serve the motherland, and several times they talked passionately and with lofty ambitions. At that time, Ren Bishi, Ye Jianying and others who traveled to and from the Soviet Union also specially came to their house for a small gathering.

The world, our world, the country, our country.Designing the future, the two are full of pride and hope to return to China as soon as possible to display their talents, so they cherish the opportunity to study in the Soviet Union even more.Zhou Yuelin hopes to study at the Eastern University in Moscow.At that time, the Soviet Union was experiencing the Great Famine.The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a special order: Party members are not allowed to go to Moscow without the permission of the Central Committee.For this reason, Liang Baitai wrote many times to Qu Qiubai, the head of the Communist Party delegation of the Communist International, a member of the Communist International Committee and a member of the presidium. Qu Qiubai then told Mif, the head of the Eastern Department of the Communist International and the president of Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, to handle the formalities. The notification has not been issued for a long time.

In order to enrich himself with knowledge and improve his quality as soon as possible, Zhou Yuelin, who couldn't wait, went to Moscow at his own expense to find the Eastern Department of the Third Communist International. The "Third Communist International" is the leading body of the international communist movement, in which there are representatives from the Communist Parties of various countries.The main persons in charge of the Chinese delegation are Qu Qiubai and Deng Zhongxia. At that time, the security work of the institution was relatively strict, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter and exit casually.And she happened to have a Chinese Communist Party card on her body.If you have a party card, you can go in directly. When Zhou Yuelin saw Deng Zhongxia, he was straightforward and expressed his desire to continue his studies.Deng Zhongxia was also straightforward and agreed to her request at that time.She was approved to enter the Chinese Communist Labor University in Moscow, also known as the Oriental University, where Deng Zhongxia's wife was also studying at that time.

In addition to ordinary classes, Dongfang University also has two special classes: a special class is also called a preparatory class, which accepts comrades with a low level of education. Zhou Yuelin entered this class, and Deng Zhongxia's wife was also in this class.There was also another special class studying together, all of them were relatively educated but older people, among whom were the "three elders" who were later known as the "four elders" in the "Hongdu", namely Lin Boqu, Xu Teli, He Shuheng.Qu Qiubai's wife, Yang Zhihua, is highly educated and also in this class. Qu Qiubai once gave lectures here, so Zhou Yuelin got to know Qu Qiubai.

In Chinese classes, "Chinese Revolution" is always a hot topic. The domestic Red Army has grown to more than 100,000, the red base area has expanded to 15 areas, and the country is preparing intensively to hold the "One-Soviet Conference" to establish the Chinese Soviet Republic... All kinds of information motivate students from time to time and ask to return to China.In the face of the general trend, the Eastern Department of the Third International expressed its support for the Chinese students studying in Moscow to return to China for the revolution.At that time, there was a war in the country, and the students from the military academies had all gone back, and the talents who studied politics had also gone back.However, because all the people who come and go are students at the school, the Soviet Congress is held in the country, and the Soviet government is to be established, and there is an urgent need for talents who have engaged in practical government work.The Soviet government wanted to formulate laws such as the Constitution, Marriage Law, Land Law, etc., and especially lacked talents who understood red laws.It is often necessary to seek help from the Third International.

At the beginning of 1931, Liang Baitai came to Moscow again and asked the Eastern Department of the Third International to return to China.I have been here a few times, and a female comrade there already knows him, and she also helps to speak: "The Chinese side has repeatedly mentioned that people who are engaged in government work are needed, especially those who understand the law..." The leader of the Eastern Department once said: Listen, yes, to establish a Soviet government in China, some laws must be enacted, and after enacting laws, people with knowledge must implement them. If there is no legal expert, they will mess up when they encounter problems!Therefore, he immediately agreed with Liang Baitai to return to China, and his attitude was also very kind. He asked with concern: "When do you plan to go back? Do you have any difficulties? Do you need our help to solve them?" Liang Baitai was very happy and immediately replied: "I hope to go back as soon as possible." I don’t have any problems myself, but my wife and two children are here. What will they do when I leave?” There have always been rules on this issue. The leader of the Eastern Department said: “Your wife, I can go back to China with you, and the two children are not allowed to be taken away, and we will be responsible for sending them to the international kindergarten." The international kindergarten is located in the southern suburbs of Moscow, and it is also called the Vaskino International Children's Home. Built on August 1, 1929, it is also called the International Red Day Children's Home, or the International Bayi Children's Home.The International Children's Home is indeed very "international". According to regulations, it is filled with the children of the Central Committee members of the Communist Party of various countries and the children of martyrs.Among them are Zargo, the son of Tito, and Maya, the daughter of Ibalulli, the secretary of the Spanish Communist Party. The children of the Chinese Communists include Qu Duyi, the daughter of Qu Qiubai, Zhang Maya, the daughter of Zhang Qinqiu, and Su Heqing, the son of Su Zhaozheng.Later, Mao Zedong's sons Mao Anying and Mao Anqing, Liu Shaoqi's son Liu Yunbin, and daughter Liu Aiqin also studied here.Among them, the daughter and son of Liang Baitai and Zhou Yuelin are the children of Chinese revolutionaries who entered here to study earlier.

Returning to China means reunion and separation.Two such young children stay in a foreign country together, how can a mother be willing to let go!The child is ours, why can't we take it back to the country?Zhou Yuelin was puzzled and decided to seek justice.For this reason, Zhou Yuelin invited Liang Baitai to the Eastern Department of the Communist International and asked them to bring their two children back to China. Their request was flatly rejected by the leadership of the Eastern Department of the Third International for a simple but revolutionary reason: "You are going back to China to do revolutionary work, not to ask you to go home and take care of your children!" Zhou Yuelin and Liang Baitai gave birth to two children in the Soviet Union. the meaning of.The youngest is the son, who is only 2 years old. He is named Fulei (Wei Lie).

The moment of farewell, that is, life and death, may never be seen again.The couple felt particularly uncomfortable.When I got in the car, I was silent, only tears kept flowing. The car drove lonely in the cold for a long time. Liang Baitai suddenly spoke up and said a contradictory comforting words: "They are right. We are going back to China to make revolution. Why do we bring our children back? What's the problem with having children?" , when I go to China in the future, can I be born again..."
