The Life of the Characters in Hu Yousong's Works

Hu Yousong (1939—2008), female, wife of famous Beijing painter Li Zongren, honorary curator of Li Zongren Memorial Hall in Taierzhuang; 1939 was born in Shanghai; Originally known as Hu Ruomei, this is the name given to her by her mother Hu Die, which means that she hopes her daughter will be as beautiful and strong as plum blossom. As an illegitimate daughter, Ruomei never knew who her father was and never asked. Mom just said to her, "If anyone wants to ask you, just say there is a mother, not to mention dad."

What impressed Hu Yousong the most was that she took part in a fund-raising activity for soldiers at the front line of Paramount. Her mother is performing on the stage, and she is walking back and forth with a small basket. She has beautiful clothes and can take a limousine, but she doesn't have her own home. She has lived in a private hotel room since she was a child.

Hu Yousong's mother Hu Die was born in 1908. 16 years old, admitted to China Film Academy, and entered the film industry from then on, and soon became popular in China film industry, becoming the first movie star in 1930s and 1940s, and was once rated as "movie queen" by the audience. At the age of 6, Xiao Ruomei went to see a doctor because of eczema (commonly known as herpes zoster). According to the child's condition, the doctor suggested that Hu Die had better send Ruomei to the north to live for a period of time. At this time, it happened that the warlord Zhang Zongchang died suddenly at Jinan Railway Station, and his concubine Shen fled to Nanjing to be a tutor, so she entrusted Shen to take Ruomei north. In Xiao Ruomei's memory, foster mother Shen was very mean to her. I often lose my temper with her for no reason, take it out on her, and sometimes I don't give my little sister food.

195 1 year, those who had moved to Hong Kong learned of their daughter's difficult situation and went to Beijing to prepare to receive Ruomei to Hong Kong, but Shen refused. In desperation, she left a suitcase full of gold and silver jewelry for Shen, and told her that the money she got from these things was for Ruomei's life and college. However, Shen soon squandered the box full of property, and by the time Ruomei graduated from high school, the box was empty.

After graduating from high school, Ruomei was admitted to a medical school. After graduating from medical school, Ruomei was assigned to work in beijing jishuitan hospital and later transferred to Beijing Fuxing Hospital as a nurse. In that era of "politics first" and "class struggle every day", no matter how hard she tried, the daughter of "senior officials of the Kuomintang" could not be recognized by the organization. On the contrary, she is under political pressure from all sides and may become the object of "dictatorship" at any time. From 65438 to 0965, Mr. Li Zongren, acting president of the former National Government and commander-in-chief of Taierzhuang Campaign, returned from overseas with his wife, Ms. Guo Dejie, under the careful arrangement of Premier Zhou Enlai. The following year, Mr Li Zongren's wife Guo Dejie died of breast cancer in Beijing. To this end, Mr. Li Zongren, who has just returned from overseas happily, is very depressed; In order to help Mr. Li Zongren out of his misery, Premier Zhou and the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee were very concerned about Mr. Li Zongren's later life and found more than 60 wives for him. When the information and photos of these ladies were placed in front of Mr. Li, they were politely declined by Mr. Li; However, the young and beautiful Ms. Hu Yousong was taken a fancy to by Mr. Li Zongren; At this time, Mr. Li Zongren is most worried about being over 70 years old, while Hu Yousong is still an unmarried woman in her prime. Li Zongren knows that the key to the success of this marriage lies in Hu Yousong.

It never occurred to Mr. Li Zongren that Hu Yousong would agree to the marriage. Because Hu Yousong has always worshipped the man of the hour and patriotic generals in the history of China. In addition, she has been depressed for a long time in her original unit. In order to get rid of this dilemma, Hu Yousong readily agreed to Mr. Li Zongren's request.

Under the care of Premier Zhou Enlai and the arrangement of the central authorities,1One day in July 1966, Li Zongren and Hu Yousong held a simple wedding in the official residence of Mr. Li Zongren. Since then, the young lady and the white-haired general have finally come together.

Hu Yousong works as a nurse in Beijing Fuxing Hospital. She is not only beautiful, but also has a good temperament, and she happens to be engaged in medical work, which is most suitable for taking care of Li Zongren.

Li Zongren fell in love with this elegant and clever girl at first sight. However, one is old and the other is young. The key to marriage lies in Hu Yousong.

Hu Yousong quickly agreed to the marriage. She said: On the one hand, I married Mr. Li because of my own political pressure. They all said that I was the daughter of a senior officer of the Kuomintang, and I was very depressed in my original unit. On the other hand, I think Mr. Li is a historical figure and a patriot, and I admire him very much.

1One day in July 1966, Li Zongren and Hu Yousong got married at No.51,Xizongbu Hutong, the official residence of Li Zongren. This marriage caused quite a stir. Many people misunderstand Hu Yousong and think that she is vain and interested in Li Zongren's property. Hu Yousong is a strong woman. As soon as she entered Li Mansion, she declared to the staff: I don't care about money, all passbooks and keys, and I don't inherit property. I only take care of Mr. Li's daily life. Hu Yousong fulfilled his promise, and when Li Zongren was dying, Li Zongren felt great comfort and satisfaction because of her meticulous care and nursing. In this regard, Li Zongren's eldest son, Li Youlin, once told the authorities that she took care of my father's last few days. I thank her. She belongs to the Li family.

"Mr Li and I are very happy to get married. He developed many photos of us and sent them to friends at home and abroad. At the back of each photo, he wrote excitedly: This is my wife Hu Yousong! "

"His relatives are abroad. As his wife, I have the responsibility to take good care of him. I am duty-bound! " About the combination with Li Zongren, Hu Yousong finally spit out two words to me, which made me cry. In two words, how many joys and sorrows, how many grievances and how many hardships have passed! She doesn't want to look back because she doesn't want to sigh.

However, this harmony only lasted for two years. 1968 In April, Li Zongren was hospitalized with pneumonia, and in August, rectal cancer was diagnosed. 1midnight on October 30th 1969+ 12 sudden death. On his deathbed, Li Zongren was in tears. He said that as a soldier, he only shed tears twice in his life, once when his mother died, and this time he was deeply concerned about Hu Yousong. After the death of Mr. Li Zongren, Ms. Hu Yousong supported herself with a meager salary and maintained a poor life. But she took good care of everything Mr. Li Zongren lived. Because, she knows that every item of her husband is a precious cultural relic. Even in the most difficult time of her life, she never wanted to sell these things. During the period from 1969 to 1982, Ms. Hu Yousong turned over her husband Li Zongren's personal savings of 80,000 yuan and the living expenses paid twice by the state1370,000 yuan to the state treasury. She also donated 160 historical photos of Zhang Zhengui by Mr. Li Zongren to the China Historical Archives.

1996, Hu Yousong donated more than 60 pieces of Li Zongren relics collected for many years to the Li Zongren Memorial Hall in Taierzhuang. These include a bronze statue of Li Zongren weighing 45 kilograms presented by former Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh, a gold watch presented to heads of state at the centenary of the establishment of the Swiss watch factory, and a Firefox specimen called "soft gold" presented to her by General Fu before his death.

At the same time, she said that she does not need any care from the state and is completely self-reliant. She is frugal, but she has been donating her meager pension to Hope Primary School. In the flood relief charity sale, she donated all the 5200 yuan she got from selling paintings to the people in the disaster area. She did this because "Mr. Li's patriotism has always been engraved in my heart and will never be erased."

People in Taierzhuang have never forgotten Li Zongren. They are asking about the whereabouts of Hu Yousong. In August, 1996 was received to visit Taierzhuang, and was warmly welcomed and received by relevant leaders and people in Taierzhuang. Back in Beijing, she decided to donate all Li Zongren's relics to the people of Taierzhuang.
