在杭州宝石山下一个大院里，生活着一对身份特殊的耄耋伴侣：一位是曾担任过浙南游击纵队副政委、括苍支队政委，解放后历任浙江省农业机械厅厅长、浙江省政协副主席的邱清华；一位是曾担任过永乐人民抗日自卫游击总队政治指导员，解放后历任《浙南大众报》总编辑、《浙江日报》副总编辑的张雪梅。
　　然而，这对革命伉俪却出身于敌对营垒里的显赫之家。邱清华生于名门望族，堂兄邱清泉是国民党王牌军二兵团司令；张雪梅的父亲张冲32岁就当上了国民党最年轻的中央执行委员，是蒋介石身边的红人。由于夫妻俩身份特殊，尽管他们在大革命洪流中反叛家庭投身革命，在战争年代出生入死，为新中国的诞生立下汗马功劳，但“文革”中他俩依然被假想为“打入革命队伍的内奸夫妻”，分别被关了三年半和四年的“牛棚”。而当人们客观审视历史之后，竟然发现他们的父辈张冲是位对国家民族有大功的历史人物。
　　今秋丹桂初香的一个夜晚，张雪梅热情地向本刊记者回忆了她所知道的父亲张冲。
　　
　　关心女儿的品行和婚姻
　　
　　张冲字淮南，1904年生于浙江乐清头村。他少年机敏，5岁能诵《诗经》的一些篇章，念小学时即能旁征博引作长文。10岁那年慈母金老夫人为他定下“娃娃亲”，女方之父高性朴，早年留学日本早稻田大学，学识渊博，见未来女婿“风采异人”，非常喜爱，亲自悉心授业。张冲17岁与同龄的高志骧完婚，次年生子张炎，一年后又生女张雪梅。20岁张冲以第三名的成绩考入北京交通大学，后以官费生转入哈尔滨中俄工业大学，次年又考入哈尔滨法政大学，毕业后官运亨通。
　　张雪梅说：父亲与母亲20岁就分居了。在我8岁那年，父亲带了个俄国夫人娜丹回来。他们在哈尔滨俄语圈子里结识，父亲因参与国民革命而被张作霖逮捕，娜丹为营救父亲奔走呼号，两人感情日深而结合。后来，娜丹无意中得知我母亲的存在，执意要来老家向母亲当面道歉。娜丹人很好，有良心，我们全家真诚接纳了她。可是蒋介石不放心这个苏联女子，他对父亲说：“你在我身边工作，难保不泄漏机密。”蒋介石给了娜丹很多钱，叫她同父亲离婚回苏联去了。
　　张雪梅说，父亲对我的品行和婚姻很关心。我念初中二年级时数学成绩不好，有次到女同学黄桂香家请教作业，留宿黄家，被夜间查铺的老师发现人去床空，受记过处分。哥哥写信把这事报告了父亲，父亲很快来信教诫：“记过事小，失节事大，以后千万注意。”后来又写信给我：“婚姻问题，你自己做主，经父同意即可。”在给我外公高性朴的信中也说：“雪梅婚事，似应注意。同乡中有体质强健、聪明、能刻苦读书者，不问家境，即贫苦者亦可以说合。如雪儿自己心中有羡慕之青年，也可提与冲商。”
　　张雪梅说，父亲不时有钱寄回来，但不多，不足以修缮祖居。有一年蒋介石了解我家房屋年久失修，特拨一笔钱叫父亲转给祖母。祖母品德很高，把这笔钱都分给了穷苦人家。蒋介石知道后批评父亲：“你怎么也赤化了!”
　　
　　从反共骨干到联共联苏
　　
　　张雪梅对父亲的真正了解，是在揭去岁月尘封的史料中获得的。采访时，她把历年来收集的资料悉数交给记者。
　　“皇姑屯事件”张作霖被炸死后，张冲被张学良释放，1929年回到南京。因才华出众，他很快升任国民党组织部调查科(“ 中统”前身)总干事，主管情报事务。当年所谓“伍豪(周恩来化名)等脱离共党启事”和利用叛徒顾顺章追捕共产党要员周恩来、陈云、聂荣臻的阴谋行动，都是他策划与指挥实施的。
　　然而随着国内外政治气候的变化，在民族危亡的紧急关头，张冲的思想立场发生了重要变化。他说：“当前日寇侵略日亟，共产党也是有爱国心的，为什么不可以联合起来一致对外呢？”1936年“西安事变”后，张冲成为蒋介石同延安、莫斯科秘密联络的专使，并与顾祝同、贺衷寒一起代表国民党与中共代表周恩来、叶剑英于1937年2月11日在西安举行了首次国共合作正式会谈。此后，张冲不但参与了周恩来与蒋介石在上海、杭州烟霞洞、德清莫干山的直接谈判，还与周恩来进行过几十次的会晤和正式会谈。
　　
　　1937年5月下旬，张冲促成国民党考察团访问延安，让国民党大员深受教育，并在与毛泽东、周恩来四次长谈中营造出融洽友好的氛围。
　　1937年6月4日，张冲陪同周恩来上庐山续谈国共合作，不断来回转达蒋介石与周恩来的意见，并为保证周恩来的绝对人身安全作出了精心安排。
　　同年11月，通晓俄语的张冲率团访苏，单独与斯大林密谈了5个多小时，议定了苏联援华办法。事成归来，张冲被蒋介石任命为军事委员会顾问处中将处长，专门负责联共、联苏事务。
　　这位由国民党反共骨干转变为真诚联共、联苏主要成员的“无双国士”，为扫除重重障碍，最终实现二次国共合作作出了重要贡献。
　　1941年1月，举世震惊的“皖南事变”发生，国民党《中央日报》歪曲事实，张冲义愤填膺，当众将造谣报纸摔在地上，气愤得饭都不吃。他痛心疾首地说：“民族生死存亡之时，还做这等兄弟相煎之事，可耻!可悲!”而当刊有周恩来题词“千古奇冤，江南一叶；同室操戈，相煎何急!”的《新华日报》被当局扣压之后，张冲亲自陪同周恩来赶到现场，交涉两个多小时，终于迫使当局退还了被扣压的报纸。当周恩来在重庆机场遭检查人员刁难时，张冲立即驱车蒋介石处取来手令，亲自将周恩来送上飞机，协助周恩来飞返延安。
　　张冲的举动遭到国民党顽固派的忌恨，有的甚至扬言要暗杀他。张冲立下遗嘱，准备为国家民族捐躯。
　　然而天妒英才，张冲未曾遭遇毒手，却没能躲过疾病的魔掌。1941年6月他染上恶性疟疾，自知一病不起，留下遗言：“有负国家，有负老母。”8月11日，张冲病逝于重庆郊外40里的云龙旅馆山洞内，年仅38岁。追悼会上，蒋介石亲临祭奠，并撰哀挽：“赴义至勇，秉节有方；斯人不永，干将沉光。”毛泽东、董必武、林伯渠等联名致送的挽联是：“大计赖支持，内联共，外联苏，奔走不辞劳，七载辛勤如一日；斯人独憔悴，始病寒，继病疟，深沉竟莫起，数声哭泣已千秋。”朱德、彭德怀送挽：“国士无双，斯人不再；九原可作，万里相招。”周恩来在追悼会上十分哀痛，不但亲书挽联“安危谁与共，风雨忆同舟”，还发表了20分钟的悼念演讲，泪水盈眶，数次语不成声。第二天，《新华日报》把周恩来的讲话作为代社论在头版头条全文发表，周恩来亲书标题《悼张淮南先生》。
　　张冲成了国共两党共同沉痛悼念的屈指可数的风云人物。
　　
　　数十年辛酸已释然
　　
　　噩耗传来，正在读高中的张雪梅与胞兄张炎急往重庆奔丧，可是张雪梅途中染病，不得不半路返回。
　　对于父亲在中国政治舞台上的作为，张雪梅并不了解，她真切感受到的是父亲给母亲造成的辛酸和痛苦。接触到进步书籍和先进思想的张雪梅，在1944年高中毕业、温州沦陷之后开始寻找共产党组织。一天她向小学时代的老师金强袒露心迹：“我想找共产党。”金强深信自己的学生，坦然相告：“我就是共产党员，我可以介绍你参加革命。”在老师家里，她第一次认识了中共乐清县委委员周丕振，第二次认识了县委书记邱清华，并很快被革命队伍接纳，后成为永乐人民抗日自卫游击总队的一名女游击队员。张雪梅身材苗条，脸庞秀丽，腰间佩一支手枪，显得英姿飒爽。
　　
　　两年后张雪梅到乐清中心县委当秘书，与时任县委书记的邱清华得以朝夕相处，相知相恋。1947年初，两人在一个小山村举行俭朴婚礼，从此两位从敌对营垒反叛出来的革命者相濡以沫，一同为新中国的诞生和建设出生入死，鞠躬尽瘁。
　　1949年5月温州和平解放，邱清华担任温州地委常委、副专员、专员，后任浙江省农业机械厅厅长、省重工业厅副厅长、浙江大学副校长、省委组织部副部长、省政协副主席。现在过着离休生活的邱清华，虽然患有冠心病，得过脑溢血，装了心脏起搏器，但87岁的邱老依然可以倚杖而行。
　　
　　而年轻时身体强壮的张雪梅，由于长期在报社上夜班，昼夜颠倒，生物钟紊乱，身体日渐衰弱。她记着父亲的教诲，“不读荒诞之小说，不作无谓之文章”，为办好报纸呕心沥血。1969年分水洪灾，她一次捐出相当于一个大学毕业生一年的工资给灾区。上世纪60年代初，行政14级的张雪梅本可提升进入“高干行列”，但她执意谦让给了别人。“文革”后她作为《浙江日报》分管人事的党委副书记、副总编，又一次把增加工资的机会让出，一时传为佳话。她手提饭盒自带午饭、多年步行上班的身影，深深印烙在人们心间。
　　张雪梅的哥哥张炎在参加父亲的追悼会后留在重庆工作，解放后在周恩来的亲自关怀下进入华东革大学习，后随王震部队入疆，逝于新疆。
　　暂厝重庆郊区的张冲灵柩，原本打算抗战胜利后迁回原籍安葬，由于种种原因，一直到半个多世纪后才得以魂归故里，被安葬在乐清头村狮子山上。一墓三穴，中为张冲，两侧为结发妻高志骧和第三位夫人余文之穴。高志骧83岁去世，身在台湾的余文得知中央统战部同意为张冲建墓立碑的消息，特寄款4万元，希望死后与至爱葬在一起，张家如其所愿。高大墓碑上镌刻周恩来的墨迹“张淮南先生”和书法家冯增荣续补的“之墓”两字。1995年5月12日，张冲先生骨灰移葬仪式隆重举行，浙江省和温州市的领导及张家亲属友人500多人参加了仪式。
　　张雪梅和邱清华百感交集，双双在墓前鞠躬留影。这真是：同忆尊亲，千百声哭泣难诉尽；解密历史，数十载辛酸已释然。
　　
　　Father’s Life Retold by Daughter
　　By Fu Tongxian, our staff reporter
　　
　　Qiu Qinghua and his wife Zhang Xuemei are a couple with unusual family backgrounds. Qiu Qinghua came from a distinguished family and his cousin Qiu Qingquan was commander of the second corps of the KMT government in the late 1940s. Zhang Xuemei’s father Zhang Chong was a favorite of Chiang Kai-shek and became the youngest member of the KMT executive committee at the age of 32. Qiu Qinghua and Zhang Xuemei rebelled against their families and joined the Communist revolution. They fought for New China. During the Cultural Revolution, the couple was in prison for years on the false allegation that they were KMT spies. Of course, they are truly revolutionaries. Now, as people are beginning to reexamine history, Zhang Chong’s legendary life has become a focus of attention.
　　Now retired, the couple leads a peaceful life in a large courtyard at the foot of the Gem Hill by the West Lake in Hangzhou, the capital city of eastern China’s coastal Zhejiang Province. The other day, I visited the couple. Seeing them now, I can hardly imagine their stormy lives in the revolutionary age in the 1940s. During my visit, Zhang Xuemei told the story of her father. I was amazed.
　　
　　Zhang Chong, alias Huainan, was born in 1904 in a village in rural Yueqing, Zhejiang. A born genius, he was able to recite poems from ìook of Songs at 5. He wrote long essays citing ancient examples in primary school. When he was ten, his mother made an arranged marriage for him. His future father-in-law, a returnee who had studied in Japan, gladly took the talented boy under his wing. At seventeen, Zhang Chong married Gao Zhixiang as arranged. Zhang Yan was born next year and Zhang Xuemei one year after her brother’s birth. At 20, Zhang Chong was recruited by Beijing Jiaotong University. An excellent student, he later transferred to Ha’erbin Politics and Law University and the government paid for his study there. Upon his graduation, he took to politics and became an official for the national government.
　　Zhang Chong visited home in Yueqing at 28, bringing a Russian wife. He married the woman after he met her within a circle of Russian-speaking friends in Ha’erbin. The family accepted the second wife partly because the woman was really nice. But Chiang Kai-shek was worried about the Russian woman as wife of his favorite assistant. Chiang gave the woman a lot of money and sent her back to the Soviet Union. Chiang Kai-shek was fond of Zhang Chong. One year, after learning that Zhang Chong’s house in home village was in a sorry condition, Chiang gave Zhang Chong an amount of money to repair the house. Zhang Chong sent the money to his mother. The mother, however, distributed the money among poverty-stricken villagers. After learning how the cash was distributed, Chiang rebuked Zhang Chong, saying, “How come you acted like a communist!?Zhang Xuemei got to know about his father mainly through various historical documents. He was arrested and thrown into jail by the warlord Zhang Zuoling who ruled the Northeast China. When the warlord was killed by a railway bomb planted by the Japanese troops, his son Zhang Xueliang came to power in Northeast China and released Zhang Chong. In 1929, Zhang Chong came back to Nanjing. Pretty soon, he was promoted to head the intelligence for the government. He hunted the communists working underground in cities.
　　
　　However, Zhang Chong’s political view began to shift when Japan stepped up its attempt to move deeper into China. He believed the national government should cooperate with the communists to fight the Japanese invaders. After the Xi’an Incident in 1936, Zhang Chong acted as the special liaison for Chiang Kai-shek, shuttling busily to and from Nanjing, Yan’an and Moscow. He participated in negotiations with the communists in Xi’an in February 1937. That year, he met with Zhou Enlai dozens of times either on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek or with Chiang Kai-shek. In November 1937, the Russian speaking Zhang Chong visited the Soviet Union and talked alone with Stalin for more than five hours and made arrangements for Soviet Union’s military aids to China. After his return, Zhang Chong was promoted to the ranking of lieutenant general in charge of government affairs with the Communist Party and the Soviet Union.
　　Zhang Chong turned from a hardcore anti-communist to a man who helped the Communist Party and the KMT form a national alliance to fight the Japanese invasion.
　　Zhang Chong’s political attitude toward the Communists angered some people in the KMT and one even threatened to assassinate him. Before they took further actions, Zhang went down with an acute case of malaria in June, 1941 and passed away at the age of 38 tow months later on August 11 in a hotel, 20 kilometers from downtown Chongqing. Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong sent wreaths to the funeral. Zhou Enlai spoke for 20 minutes and wept at the funeral.
　　When the sad news reached the home village in Zhejiang, Zhang Xuemei and her elder brother immediately set out on the journey to Chongqing. But daughter fell ill on the road and had to come back home without attending the funeral. In 1944, Zhang Xuemei graduated from high school and joined the resistance guerilla team under the leadership of the Communists. In 1947, Zhang Xuemei married the guerilla leader Qiu Qinghua in a small village. After Wenzhou was liberated peacefully in 1949, Qiu Qinghua became a government leader. He was appointed to various important government posts and was vice president of Zhejiang CPPCC committee before his retirement in 1993.
　　After the liberation, Zhang Xuemei worked as a newspaper journalist. In 1969, she donated a year’s salary to the victims of a serious flood. After the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), she worked as deputy editor-in-chief of Zhejiang Daily. People at the newspaper still remember her walking to the place of work with her lunchbox every workday. And they still remember three times she gave up opportunities to others to get salary raises.
　　Her brother Zhang Yan stayed in Chongqing after their father’s funeral. After the liberation, premier Zhou Enlai sent him to study at East China Military Politics University. Later he went to work in Xinjiang.
　　The Zhang family wanted to rebury Zhang Chong after Japan surrendered in 1945, but for various reasons, the rebury delayed until 1995. When Zhang Chong’s third wife learned that Zhang was to be reburied at the home village, she sent 40,000 yuan from Taiwan and asked to have a place reserved so that she could be buried with her husband after her own demise. The Zhang family agreed. The tomb was built with three graves. Zhang was buried in the middle. Zhang Chong’s first wife Gao Zhixiang died at 83 and was buried with her husband. A ceremony for the reburial of Zhang Chong’s ashes was held on May 12, 1995.
