In 1939, He Zizhen bathed in the slanting sun in the Soviet Union, sitting by the edge of a flower bed, holding a book in her hand, in the camera she looked haggard, tired and tenacious. Two years ago, she left angrily and set foot in the Soviet Union alone, in order to keep the organization's secrets, she assumed the pseudonym "Wenyun". At the Sechinova maternity hospital, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy and named him "Lyuva", a name that expresses the mother's affection and desire for a happy life. He Zizhen silently dedicated, pinning all his love and hope on his son.
However, the good times were short-lived. Xiaoliuwa, who was less than a year old, contracted pneumonia and lacked medicine, so the medical staff had to give him salt water, and the baby's life withered in a short time. The double blow of life and spirit made He Zizhen's body thinner and thinner. In order to alleviate her loneliness in a foreign country, ** sent someone to send the young Li Min to her, which eased her mood a little. However, the Soviet-German war broke out, and the shadow of war separated the mother and daughter again, and there was not enough food to fill the stomach. At this difficult moment, Li Min also suffered from pneumonia and was on the verge of death. In order to save her daughter's life, He Zizhen exchanged her clothes for milk and candy, fed her little by little, and finally pulled her back from the edge of life.
