An obituary was sent to Zhongnanhai, ** reply: Send 500, and my wife is in the same hole
**In the long and magnificent course of struggle, a strong heart has been tempered.
His relatives sacrificed their lives for the cause of the country, so that *** could be more calm in the face of parting in his later years. However, the arrival of an obituary once again left *** in a long silence.
** Devoted his life to the cause of the country, led the people of all ethnic groups to overthrow the old system, end the century-old war, establish a new country, and make the whole nation glow with new vitality.
During this period of history, ** did not have enough time to take care of his family, and could only be accompanied by spirit. When the old man Xiang Zhenxi passed away, he was very sad and could only relieve his dullness by smoking.
Xiang Zhenxi's life is equally great. This name may sound unfamiliar to people, but it plays an important role in the history of struggle.
In 1995, Changsha, Hunan Province held the premiere of the movie "Yang Kaihui", and the daughter-in-law Shao Hua and grandson Mao Xinyu were present at the scene. This brings everyone back to the period of the Jin Ge Iron Horse again.
Everyone present deeply remembered an old man, she was Yang Kaihui's mother, the old man Xiang Zhenxi.
In 1870, Xiang Zhenxi was born in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province. At the age of 18, she married Yang Changji and worked together to promote the development of new ideas.
The life of the two after marriage is full of sweetness, and the Xiang family is famous for its "scholarly family". Yang Changji advocates science and is full of admiration for the Xiang family.
The two have more in common in their weekday exchange of ideas. Xiang Zhenxi cared about her husband and served cool water to Yang Changji in the summer to relieve the heat.
Although their lives are poor, they are full of mutual understanding and support.
In the early days, Yang Changji repeatedly failed due to academic problems, and Xiang Zhenxi took care of most of the housework, so that Yang Changji could have an environment to concentrate on studying. During this time, Yang Changji spent most of his time teaching private school in the township.
The ordinary life of the two lasted until 1901, in addition to the pressure of the impact on the Qing Dynasty, another important reason was the birth of their daughter Yang Kaihui.
The birth of a daughter brought joy and laughter to the family, but it also brought a heavy financial burden.
Against this backdrop, Xiang Zhenxi decided to master the skills of spinning and weaving in order to increase the family income. In order to ensure the healthy growth of their children, their family attaches great importance to family education, and even sets an example in their daily words and deeds.
When Yang Kaihui was five years old, Hunan was hit by a rare catastrophic flood, which caused many people to lose their homes and spread to the vicinity of Bancang.
Although Xiang Zhenxi's family did not have much food in stock, she still generously shared some of it with those who were affected by the disaster.
One evening, while the family was enjoying dinner, there was a soft knock on the door, followed by the faint sound of begging such as "okay, okay."
Yang Kaihui quickly hugged her mother and whispered, "Mom, I'm afraid." ”
Xiang Zhenxi softly coaxed the child and pulled Yang Kaihui to open the door, only to see a pair of ragged mother and son outside the door, they had been hungry for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Zhenxi did not hesitate to fill his rice bowl with food and invited them to sit down and eat together. Although the mother and son didn't say much, the tears flashing in their eyes made this moment particularly profound, and it also left a deep impression on Yang Kaihui.
After that, the young Yang Kaihui realized that his mother often helped others.
Nearby lived an elderly man named Yang Lechu, who suffered from asthma and had a very difficult life. Xiang Zhenxi deeply sympathized with this old man, and as long as he had the opportunity, he would ask Yang Kaihui to send him rice and vegetables.
The old man often said to the other residents: "Mother Kaihui is so kind to us poor. ”
The moral character of her parents had a profound impact on Yang Kaihui's growth.
After the failure of the Qing Dynasty's Wuxu Reform, Xiang Zhenxi noticed that her husband's mood had changed. At that time, Yang Changji also stopped focusing on his career and realized that the imperial examination had lost its role at that time.
Therefore, Yang Changji discussed with Xiang Zhenxi and decided to study in Japan. Although it is very difficult for Xiang Jin-hee to raise her children alone, she thinks that her husband should take this step. With tears in her eyes, she prepared for Yang Changji and handed over her savings over the years to her husband.
That night, the couple told each other that they didn't sleep all night.
In 1903, Yang Changji set off for Japan for a six-year study abroad. He then went to England to continue his studies for 3 years, eventually spending a full 9 years in Germany. This parting lasted for 10 years.
The past ten years have been like a long time for Xiang Zhenxi. She longs forward to her husband's return while struggling to raise her children to become independents.
During this time, Yang Changji's thinking has undergone earth-shaking changes. He mentioned in his letter to his family that in order to expand his career, Xiang Zhenxi and his daughter should be educated together. With the encouragement of her husband, Xiang Zhenxi is over 40 years old, and she resolutely decides to abandon worldly prejudices and bring her daughter to the school to study. This made Yang Kaihui one of the first female students to pick up a book.
In 1913, Yang Changji returned to China. At this time, Xiang Zhenxi was no longer willing to leave her husband and followed her husband to fight in the north and south. By chance, she witnessed her husband grading assignments for students and memorized several names, including *** and Cai Hesen.
Subsequently, ** and others came to ask for advice, and Xiang Zhenxi warmly entertained them. For ***, she misses her mother, and Xiang Zhenxi's meticulous care makes him feel deep maternal love again.
The Yang family had a great influence on *** in his early years. However, for Xiang Zhenxi herself, the days spent with her husband are not too long. At the age of 50, illness took her husband's life. Mr. Yang Changji has devoted his life to education, and his family is relatively poor.
At that time, ** faced financial problems when running the "Cultural Book Society". After Yang Kaihui informed his mother, he handed over his savings to his daughter to the old man Xiang Zhenxi.
After getting along for a long time, *** and Yang Kaihui have established a deep relationship. Soon after getting married, Xiang Zhenxi and the couple lived together in Qingshuitang, and also covered their work. During this time, the old man seemed to have inexhaustible strength. **'s three sons, Anying, Anqing, and Anlong, were born one after another.
When *** said goodbye to his relatives and went to Jinggang Mountain, Yang Kaihui's mother and son returned to Bancang. However, what Xiang Jin-hee feared day and night still happened. In 1930, Yang Kaihui was arrested and bravely served under torture. This dealt a heavy blow to both *** and Xiang Zhenxi. After learning the news, Xiang Zhenxi felt that the world was spinning and fell directly to the ground. After waking up, she saw her emaciated grandson, and her heart was even more indescribably sad, hugging and crying with her three brothers.
Although the grandchildren still need her care, those people are still unwilling to let go of the Mao brothers and want to "cut the grass and eradicate the roots". For the safety of the children, Xiang Zhenxi and his three children went to Shanghai for refuge. When he returned to Hunan again, Xiang Zhenxi's heart was full of grief. By this time, she had lost contact with her children. For a long time, she always wandered alone in the room, often staring into the distance, silently reciting the names of the three brothers.
Finally, the moment of victory came.
The old man was accustomed to a lonely life, and she always kept an eye on the outside world. She is a knowledgeable person, consistent and unchanging. For her daughter, she misses her and looks forward to her son-in-law bringing back good news. What worries her even more are those grandchildren.
However, due to historical reasons, the old man lost contact with ***, and several decades have passed since this time.
In August 1949, Changsha was declared peacefully liberated, and the news quickly reached Xiang Zhenxi's ears.
She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the short news brought tears to the old man's eyes, and she kept saying, "What a blessing, I was able to wait until this day!".”
Immediately, she couldn't wait to ask the people around her: "Where is Runzhi now?".The Anying brothers are ** again?”
When the news reached ***, he learned that the old man was still alive, and immediately wrote a call back: The old lady is alive and is deeply grateful.
It didn't take long for the representative of Hunan Province ** to come and pick up Xiang Zhenxi's family to Changsha, where they lived in Xishengyuan, Yingpan Street.
At the beginning of September, ** entrusted Wang Jiaxiang's wife to come and bring gifts and ***'s handwritten letter. Xiang Zhenxi recognized the familiar handwriting at a glance, and the old man's tears welled up again.
On May 25, 1950, Xiang Zhenxi will celebrate his 80th birthday.
**Always keep in mind the birthday of the elderly, and arrange in advance for Mao Anying, who is busy, to go to Hunan to accompany her grandmother to spend her birthday.
Mao Anying stood in front of the old man and shouted loudly: "Grandma!."Hello!”
The old man rubbed his eyes, carefully identified the young man in front of him, and realized that it was his longing grandson who had returned. Gently stroking her grandson, she only remembered how Anying looked when she was a child, and this was the first time she recognized him when she grew up.
Xiang Zhenxi was very excited, and said a little incoherently: "Son, it's you, your appearance hasn't changed at all, how is your father?"Where did my brother go?Grandma is old. ”
Mao Anying chatted with her grandmother, and when she asked her grandmother what else she wanted, her grandmother said, "I need 10 yuan to repay the loans I borrowed from my neighbors in the countryside." ”
The old man has always been the same, he is always willing to use his savings to help others, but he is short of money.
Mao Anying assured her grandmother: "I will come to see her often when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
However, no one expected that this brief reunion would become an eternal parting, and Mao Anying went to the Korean battlefield at the end of the year and dedicated himself in a foreign land.
The people around him chose to hide the bad news, and from then on, the old man would always ask for a later meal on his birthday every year, she said
Anying also said that he wanted to come to see me and eat the water-soaked jar dishes I made. ”
She still waited as usual, but in her heart, there was more hope from now on.
In 1951, ** sent Anqing to visit Hunan, and the old man was overjoyed.
Later, the salary system was implemented nationwide, and the living expenses were sent to Xiang Zhenxi on a monthly basis.
In 1960, it was the festive moment of Xiang Zhenxi's 90th birthday, ** had already remembered it, and learned that Yang Kaihui's cousin Yang Kaiying went to celebrate his birthday, and specially wrote a letter and attached 200 yuan as a birthday gift.
In the letter, ** also instructed: "Whether the 200 yuan is used to buy gifts or send money directly is up to you." ”
In 1962, Xiang Zhenxi closed his eternal eyes. In the old man's mind, she was content to witness her grandson's victory.
**After learning the news of the old man's death, I also felt very sad. He immediately wrote a letter to Yang Kaizhi, and it was when he informed the *** old man that he was still alive.
In this letter, ** expressed deep grief and attached 500 yuan in cash as a condolence. **Mention: "The funeral ceremony can be shared with Comrade Yang Kaihui, my dear wife." We are two of the same family, not each other. This shows *** sincere emotion.
Yang Kaihui Cemetery is surrounded by green bamboo, and Xiang Zhenxi has been with his daughter since then.
On the marble cemetery, there is a granite tombstone inscribed by *** himself.
In addition to Yang Kaihui, the Yang family also has two martyrs, Yang Kaiming and Yang Zhan, who both thrived under the cultivation of Yang Changji and Xiang Zhenxi.
The letter from 1950 was signed by *** and his wife in a rare way. This is a special case in the letters of ***, and it is the only one in the family letters. This joint letter fully demonstrates ***'s filial piety to the elderly.
Xiang Zhenxi has been kind and kind all her life and has experienced many losses, but she has always done her best to care for everyone around her. She never cares about gains and losses, and she has no intention of reciprocating.
The old man won countless respects and spent a relatively happy old age.
