In the 70s of the last century, the famous generals of the hundred battles returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, passing through the Huangpi Yaojiaji Commune. After arriving in Huangpi, the general and his entourage stopped at Yaojiaji Commune and inspected the local people. During the inspection, an old peasant suddenly walked up to the general and asked, "Brother, do you still know me?"”
The sky is long, and the hometown is earnest", homesickness is difficult to solve, and nostalgia is long. In the course of the revolution, many aspiring young people left home at a young age and fought bravely for the country and the people on the battlefieldBy the time they returned to their hometowns, they had already become middle-aged, and most of their parents had passed away.
*In 16 years, revolutionary ideas spread throughout the Huang'an area, and the oppressed masses of workers and peasants were mobilized. Han Zubao (milk name), a 14-year-old young man from Huang'an, heard about the idea of revolution and chose to bid farewell to his parents and relatives and join the revolution. After decades of ups and downs, Han Zubao has made great achievements for the country and eventually became a generation of famous generals.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Han successively held important posts such as commander of the Fuzhou Military Region and commander of the Lanzhou Military Region. In between busy work, he often misses his relatives in his hometown and returns to his hometown several times to visit relatives. The first time General Han returned to his hometown to visit relatives was in 1949, and his relatives in his hometown only saw one of his sisters, and he hugged his sister and cried bitterly.
This time he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and General Han only stayed in his hometown for a few days, and then continued to fight for the country. In the seventies and eighties of the last century, General Han returned to his hometown several times to visit his parents and villagers in his hometown and solve problems for them. In March 1975, General Han returned to his hometown to visit relatives again.
Before leaving, General Han also specially informed the local cadres in Huangpi to find an old comrade. In late March of that year, General Han arrived in Huangpi County by car and stopped at Yaojiaji Commune. When the cadres of Yaojiaji Commune learned that "the general was honored to return to his hometown", they had been waiting for General Han for a long time, and the villagers also spontaneously came to welcome the old general.
The car stopped in Yaojiaji Commune, and General Han got out of the car quickly, shook hands with the villagers one by one, and greeted the villagers with cold and warmth. General Han looked around, watching the rapid changes in his hometown in Hubei, and nodded in approval. Suddenly, an old peasant walked up to the general and asked, "Dude, do you still know me?"”
When the general heard the familiar voice, he grabbed the old peasant's hand and asked, "Are you Ding Pingxi?"I can see you. It turned out that before the general returned to his hometown, the old comrade who asked the local cadres in Huangpi to look for was Ding Pingxi. Who is Ding Pingxi?Why did the general specifically look for him?I had to see him once.
Ding Pingxi, a native of Huangpi, Hubei, devoted himself to the revolution in **18 years. After 13-year-old Ding Pingxi joined the army, he was assigned to the communication class of the Red 25th Division and served as General Han's correspondent. During the war years, Ding Pingxi and General Han fought side by side, and also saved General Han's life many times, and the two of them went through the test of life and death together.
*In 26, Ding Pingxi was seriously wounded in one battle and stayed at his hometown to recuperate. After Ding Pingxi recovered from his injuries, he failed to find a large army for several months, so he had to return to his hometown to farm. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Han has been inquiring about Ding Pingxi's whereabouts, but he has not received any news.
In 1975, before General Han returned to his hometown, he learned that Ding Pingxi was farming in his hometown of Huangpi, so he came to meet his old comrades-in-arms. The two old comrades-in-arms hugged each other tightly, telling their experiences over the years, and tears couldn't stop flowing. General Han said to the local cadres: "Ding Pingxi is an old Red Army, and I also ask you to implement the policy locally, so that the old Red Army can spend his old age in peace." ”
Before leaving, General Han also took out his salary and resolutely stuffed it to his old comrades-in-arms, only saying: "You have suffered all these years, and if you have difficulties in life in the future, you must call ** and tell me." After bidding farewell to his old comrades-in-arms, General Han returned to his hometown of Hong'an, and returned to the army a few days later.
In October 1981, General Han returned to his hometown again, and the light car Jane returned to Wujiazui Village. Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, General Han met Chen Zunyou, a playmate from his childhood, and the two chatted freely. The general saw that Chen Zunyou was wearing a torn cotton jacket and asked, "Chen Zunyou, decades have passed, why are you still like this?"”
The old man Chen Zunyou replied: "Zu Bao, I still want to ask you, how are you an official?"Let me still be like this. The general was silent, turned around and called the guards, and asked the guards to take their salaries and buy a batch of cotton clothes. A few days later, the guards brought in cotton clothes, and the general handed them all over to the village, which was distributed to the needy by the village cadres.
General Han left home when he was young, always thinking about his hometown, he did his best to solve problems for his parents and fellow villagers, and his hometown fathers will always remember the general's achievements.
