Dong Biwu’s second son died twice in the Cultural Revolution.

(Legal Evening News reporter Chen pin editor Yue sanmeng) today, a reporter from Guanhai bureau learned from Dong Liangzhen (word reading hu), the daughter of Dong Biwu (one of the “Yan’an five old men”), her younger brother, Dong Biwu’s second son Dong Liangzhen (word reading hé), died of illness in Ruili, Yunnan yesterday at the age of 72. She said sadly: “My brother has leukemia, which has been actively treated for more than two years.”

In the 1970 s, Dong Liangzhen was a well-known advanced model of educated youth in the whole country-he had been in the queue in Hebei rural areas for 10 years and didn’t return to the city until four years after his father died.

Moreover, he was imprisoned twice for no reason during the “cultural revolution” for more than a year. Dong Biwu said, “you are going to jail for me”. “Lin Biao and the gang of four arrested me in order to force my father to jump out. As long as father jumps, he will be defeated.” Dong Liangzhen said.

Dong Biwu’s children’s names all have “feather”

Dong Biwu, together with Xie juejia, Lin Boqu, Xu Teli and Wu Yuzhang, is called “The Five Elders of Yan’an”. After the founding of New China, he served as vice premier of the Government Affairs Council, President of the Supreme People’s Court, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, secretary of the supervisory committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, vice president of the People’s Republic of China and acting chairman. On April 2, 1975, he died in Beijing at the age of 90.

Dong Biwu and his wife he Lianzhi had three children. In March 1938, when the eldest son Dong Liangyu was born, Dong Biwu thought that the country’s industry was too poor at that time. He hoped that when their generation grew up, the country would be named “Liangyu” if it could build planes “. Out of this idea, when his daughter was born in 1941, Dong Lao continued to make a fuss about the word “yu” and named it “Liang Yi”, which means feather color. After the second son was born in 1945, he got the name “good luck”, which means the stem of bird feather.

As for this life, Dong Liangzhang once said, “I was born in Yan’an in 1945in 1268, and my parents decided to send me to the countryside. In 1979, I left the countryside and returned to Beijing to work in the agricultural mechanization Service Corporation of the Ministry of agricultural machinery. I didn’t go to the university step by step, but only trained the Enterprise Management major in the Cadre College. Later, he was transferred from the agricultural machinery department to Kanghua company, then to Hainan, and then did business in Guangzhou.”

Last year was the 130th anniversary of Dong Biwu’s birth. On the first release of the book of Dong Biwu’s family, the reporter of Guanhai bureau of understanding met Dong Liangzhen and Dong Shaoren, the eldest Sun of Dong Biwu (editor of the book). At that time, Dong Liangzhen introduced to the reporter: “Many of my family and I came today. Because my younger brother Liangzhen was in poor health, he failed to attend today’s press conference.”

Today, she said: “My brother has leukemia, which has been actively treated for more than two years. Why does the disease suddenly deteriorate? I still don’t know the specific situation. My nephew has now rushed to Yunnan, and the specific news will be known soon.” It was hard for Dong Liangyan to cover her grief on the phone. For her, the news was too sudden.

It is reported that the farewell ceremony of Dong Liangzhang’s remains will be held at 10 am on April 16 at Mang funeral home.

He was once regarded as an advanced model of educated youth by trees.

In March 2009, Guiyang Daily published the content of Dong Liangzhen’s interview with Lu Yu.

At that time, he talked about the relationship with his father Dong Biwu and said, “My father is strict with my brother and sister, except me, and is the most tolerant to me. I remember when I didn’t go to school, I could go to his office casually, put his seal paper weight on the carpet, push and run like driving a tank and a car, and play with his glasses case, the cable of the glasses case was opened. My brother and sister absolutely dare not do this, I can. Sometimes he came back very late, and I didn’t go back to sleep in my room, so I slept on the carpet until he came back.”

According to China Journal of discipline inspection and supervision (No. 9, 2016), even though Father and son were so deeply in love, until 1969, Dong Liangzhen graduated from high school and still faced difficulties in employment. At that time, Dong Biwu was a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. It was not difficult to arrange children to go to troops or factories. But Dong Biwu’s attitude is very clear: “The children of cadres can’t be special, and the good luck is still going to the countryside to jump in the queue!”

According to his father’s request, Dong Liangzhen signed up for going to the countryside and was arranged to settle down in the hejiazhai brigade of Zhoutou Commune, Jinxian county, Hebei province.

This work was 10 years. He learned from the peasants modestly, vying for hard work and tiring work. He was praised by the local people and was regarded as an advanced model of educated youth. On December 22, 1973, People’s Daily published a communication “a good descendant of the revolution-remember Dong Liangzhen, the intellectual youth of Beijing going to the countryside”, which reported his deeds in detail. At that time, he became a well-known figure in the country. Regarding his life experience, the article only disclosed that he was “a descendant of a revolutionary cadre”.

At this time, the news came that my father had liver cancer. In 1974, Dong Liangzhen asked for leave and went back to Beijing to serve his father. He stayed with him for more than half a year. On March 5, 1975, he was the 90th birthday of Dong Biwu, and he could not afford it. On April 2, Dong Biwu’s condition deteriorated and died in Beijing. Four years later, Dong Liangzhen left the Hebei countryside and returned to Beijing.

Father-in-prison: two prisoners in the Cultural Revolution

On last July, Dong Liangzhen’s sister, Dong Liangzhen, once accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Bureau of Ocean Exploration. She said that her father once said that his second son was imprisoned twice in the “cultural revolution” for no reason, “Your brother went to jail for me!”

Later, Dong Liangzhen once said such a sentence: “Lin Biao and the Gang of Four have different means of fixing people in order to usurp the party and seize power. For my father, because he had no right to take it, he tortured his old man mentally. They arrested me in order to force my father to jump out. As long as father jumps, he will be defeated. But father just ignored them.”

As for the experience of two prisoners, Dong Liangzhen had a detailed account during the interview.

On a night in December, 1966, Dong Liangyu received a long-distance call from his parents in Guangzhou. He said that he had received a notice from the central government and asked Dong Liangzhen to surrender to the public security bureau and explain the problem.

The next morning, Dong Liangzhen, accompanied by his sister, rode a bicycle to surrender. After he reviewed some of his behaviors since the “cultural revolution”, people from the public security bureau let him go home. Dong Liangzhen thought all this was a misunderstanding. However, in the early morning of January 4, 1967, the public security bureau called and informed him to take tooth-cleaners to surrender for registration immediately. Dong Liangzhen, 21, began his first prison life.

“At that time, 200 or 300 people were closed. They were all students, and they were all the heads of our schools. Most of them were cadres and children, and they were all in it.” Dong Liangzhen said that they were released and returned home on April 22. After this incident, Dong Biwu’s ears were deaf and his health was obviously poor. He changed a lot that year, like a watershed, which hit him a lot. “He finally said that I am was in prison for him.”

In late March, 1968, Dong Liangxuan was ready to join the army. But at that time, he was arrested and imprisoned again. The first pass was more than half a year. Two times add up to one year.

Speaking of the feeling of being in prison for the second time, he said that he was locked up in a single room with great mental pressure. “Single room is more horrible than group room. No one cares about you for several months. I am very happy to hear Magpies outside the prison every day. I feel that there is another voice that can be heard. This is the feeling. Once I got bored. I punched the wall and the whole hand was bleeding and broken, but there was no feeling of pain.”

The son was in prison again, and the parents could do nothing. Dong Biwu’s ears were even more deaf and his steps were a little faltering. He wrote a lot of poems in the whole newspaper about his son’s arrest. In order not to be recognized by others, the words were written horizontally and vertically, mixed with large characters and small characters, and the whole newspaper was painted in ink. Until the end of 1968, Dong Liangzhen was released without any conclusion.
