In 2018, Gao Zhihang's daughter was looking for relatives and wanted to meet her Russian mother.
When parents are still around, life is always full of hope and anticipation. However, when they are gone, life is left with endless thoughts and regrets. In 1932, Gao Zhihang's 4-year-old daughter, Gao Liliang, was playing with the toys her mother had bought for her, but her grandmother and mother were preoccupied.
Young Ko Liliang didn't know what was going on until that night, when her mother carried her to the toilet, and she tasted salty tears. Soon after, a rickshaw came to the door and picked up the mother.
Before parting, the mother looked at her daughter with teary eyes, and then got into the car. Gao Liliang looked at the back of his mother's departure, shouted "Mom" softly, and watched the car go farther and farther.
Little did she know that it would be the last time she would see her mother.
A **, which records the warm moments between Gao Liliang and his parents when he was a child. In 2018, an 89-year-old man was looking for her lost mother.
The old man's name is Gao Liliang, and her mother may have died, but she still insists on looking because she loves her Russian mother deeply. So, what's going on?
Why did Gao Liliang's mother leave her?Her father went again?Let's unravel this mystery together.
The encounter between Gao Liliang's father Gao Zhihang and his mother Ge Liya seemed to be fate. Gao Zhihang, formerly known as Gao Mingjiu, was a famous anti-Japanese hero of the Air Force during the Anti-Japanese War.
He was born in 1908 in an ordinary family in Tonghua County, Liaoning Province, and received a good education from an early age. Influenced by the social environment at the time, he always had the determination to dedicate himself to the country.
After unremitting efforts, Gao Zhihang was successfully admitted to the artillery team of the Northeast Army Officer Education Class and became a soldier. In 1924, the Northeast Army Air Force was established, and it was decided to select 100 cadets from the army to learn Xi flying skills, and 28 of them were selected to study at the French Aviation School.
After layers of selection, 17-year-old Gao Zhihang stood out and changed his name to Gao Zhihang at this time. Later, he and his classmates went to France to start Xi flying skills.
In 1927, Gao Zhihang, who returned to China after completing his studies, became a member of the Flying Eagles.
In May 1928, Gao Zhihang and the Flying Eagles came to Mongolia on a mission. Here he met his future wife, Greya, a Russian aristocratic lady in exile in China.
Glia is Gao Zhihang's second wife, and his first wife was married under the arrangement of his family, and later left due to an accident. The encounter between Gao Zhihang and Glia is very interesting.
On that day, Gao Zhihang, who was on a mission in Heilongjiang, walked into a shop run by a foreigner, and the salesman who received him only spoke Russian, which Gao Zhihang could not understand.
At this point, he had an idea and tried to communicate with the salesperson in French, but the other party still couldn't understand. Just when they were confused, a fair-skinned, tall foreign woman came over and talked to Gao Zhihang in French, she was Glia.
Driven by love, the two decided to cut first and then get married in Manchuria.
One day after the wedding, Gao Zhihang took Gloria back to his hometown in Jilin, wanting his parents to meet the soon-to-be daughter-in-law. However, Gao Zhihang's parents have some traditional ideas and are very dissatisfied with the fact that their daughter-in-law is a foreigner.
They couldn't accept a foreigner as their daughter-in-law, so they resolutely refused to let Gao Zhihang and Glia enter the door. Gao Zhihang and Glia had no choice but to kneel at the door, and at that time, Glia was already pregnant.
In desperation, Gao Zhihang's parents had no choice but to accept this foreign daughter-in-law. After arriving in this new family, Gloria made a lot of changes, she changed her original clothing Xi, changed to Chinese clothes, took off her high heels, coiled her hair, and tried to fit into the family.
In order to fit in better, she also learned to speak Northeast dialect.
Gao Zhihang has a deep relationship with Glia, has two daughters, and lives a plain and happy life. However, fate is merciless, and an accident changes the trajectory of their lives.
After the 918 Incident, Gao Zhihang was transferred to the Aviation Department of the Nanjing Military and Political Department and became a major pilot. However, there is a rule in the Nanjing authorities that an air force officer cannot marry a foreign woman.
This was a heavy blow to Gao Zhihang and Glia. Between national righteousness and personal gains and losses, Gao Zhihang chose national righteousness. Glia understood her husband's decision, and even wrote to persuade him: "I know that your dream has always been to fly, you better choose to fly, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life, and regret it for the rest of your life."
Family hatred and national hatred are not something that can be washed away by children's personal feelings, don't worry about ...... for me”
After Gloria and Gao Zhihang divorced, she still lived in Shanghai, and Gao Zhihang would often visit her. However, the Kuomintang authorities found out about this and decided to expel Grace from the country.
In order not to cause trouble to Gao Zhihang, she left her youngest daughter to Gao Zhihang, and she returned to the Northeast with her eldest daughter Gao Liliang.
Therefore, there is the scene at the beginning of the story, Gao Liliang is left at his grandmother's house, and Glia is on a rickshaw and does not know where to go. Whenever Gao Liliang mentioned his mother, his heart was full of regrets.
Especially the two experiences of brushing shoulders with his mother, which was the regret of Gao Liliang's life.
This photo was taken on August 13, 1937, when Gao Zhihang was young, after the outbreak of the Songhu War, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, planned an air raid on Hangzhou, Nanchang, Hongqiao and other airfields, in an attempt to destroy the Chinese Air Force in one fell swoop.
At that time, the typhoon was passing through, and the Chinese Air Force decided to take the initiative to attack. At this time, Gao Zhihang also received an order - to fly to Jianqiao, Hangzhou, and prepare to meet the Japanese Third Fleet.
On 14 August, Hasegawa ordered 18 Type 96 land attack planes stationed in Taipei to attack Hangzhou's Jianqiao Airport in an attempt to strangle the Chinese Air Force in the cradle.
At this time, Gao Zhihang, who was the commander of the destroyer unit of the Chinese Air Force and the captain of the 4th Air Group, led the team to meet the attack. After less than 30 minutes of fierce fighting, the 4th Group shot down 3 Japanese planes and damaged 1, and only 1 of its own fighters was slightly damaged, and the Japanese troops also fled.
In this battle, the Chinese Air Force set a record of the first complete victory in an air battle against the Japanese Air Force. Gao Zhihang has also become the pride of the Chinese Air Force and is known as the "God of War in the Air".
On the day of November 21, Gao Zhihang accepted the task of Soviet fighters to aid China, but was bombed by the Japanese army at Zhoujiakou Airport in Henan. Seeing that people fell one after another, Gao Zhihang resolutely decided to fly the plane to meet the enemy.
However, he tried twice but couldn't take off. Despite this, Gao Zhihang persisted, saying: "As China's air force, I can't let enemy planes fly over our heads.
Just as he was about to make his third attempt, enemy bombs suddenly flew, and Gao Zhihang disappeared into the raging flames along with 14 planes. At that time, Gao Zhihang was only 30 years old.
Gao Zhihang's heroic sacrifice was highly praised by Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang. ** praised him as "a hero of the Chinese nation, dedicated to the anti-Japanese resistance and the nation".
Chiang Kai-shek said: "China is willing to lose a hundred planes, and it is not willing to lose a single Gao Zhihang." And Zhang Xueliang commented that he was "the flying eagle of the Northeast and the fighting spirit of the Air Force".
It can be seen that Gao Zhihang's contribution and influence at that time were huge.
When Gao Liliang was only 8 years old, her father Gao Zhihang died heroically. Because Gao Liliang left her father when she was 4 years old and lived with her grandmother and aunt, she has always had a vague impression of her father.
Until 1935, Gao Liliang's grandfather and uncle went to Shanghai to find Gao Zhihang, but because Gao Liliang was young, they did not take her. Gao Liliang later heard from his grandfather that his father was very sad to see that she didn't come, and secretly turned around to wipe his tears.
Although her father's figure was vague in her mind, she still felt very sad after learning the news of her father's death. That day, she lay on the pillow and cried for a long time, silently saying to herself: "I am a person without a father."
She knew that her father was a big hero who was killed by Japanese devils. Since then, she has hated the Japanese army very much, and as long as someone goes to fight the Japanese devils, she will definitely follow.
Gao Liliang has a very deep impression of her mother, especially the scene when her mother left, which has always been unforgettable for her. Gao Liliang's mother didn't know where she left after she left**, but she had passed by her mother twice ......
When Gao Liliang was in elementary school, her teacher once told her that a foreign woman had come to the school to look for her. When she got home, she told her family about it. The family told her that it might be her mom who came looking for her, but the two missed it for some reason.
Gao Liliang felt very sorry for what he and his mother missed at that time. She often wondered if she would have been able to reunite with her mother if she hadn't gone home to get her notebook
But life has no ifs. When he grew up, Gao Liliang joined the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army without telling his family and became a soldier. One day, when she was out and about, she met a tall, blonde foreign woman who had been staring at her since she saw Goryeo and seemed to have something to say.
The two looked at each other from a distance through the window, and Gao Liliang felt that this woman might be his mother. But at that time, the army was strictly disciplined, and the captain asked her to return immediately, so Gao Liliang had to leave there in a hurry.
In this way, Gao Liliang rubbed shoulders with his mother again. Every time he thought of this regret, Gao Liliang felt heartache. However, even after repeated misses, Gao Liliang never gave up his belief in finding his mother.
Embarking on a journey to find his relativesIn June 1949, Gao Liliang was transferred to the "Beiping Liberation Daily". settled in Kunming, had four sons with her husband, and started a new life. However, the longing for his mother has always haunted his heart.
Later, he moved to Yichang, Hubei Province, and found his father's resting place after hardships.
Gao Liliang has been searching for her mother's whereabouts, and although she has traveled to Harbin and various parts of Russia, she has not been able to find her. This obsession is deeply rooted in her heart.
Even at the age of 81, she did not give up and traveled all the way to Moscow and St. Petersburg. She always tries her best to find every possible mother, afraid of missing out again.
However, despite her best efforts, she could not find her mother's whereabouts in the end, and she had to return to China disappointed. But she didn't give up because of this, but continued to search.
In 2018, she posted again, hoping to find her mother. Although she is 89 years old, she still accepted an interview with reporters and expressed her miss for her mother.
She said: "Mom, I left you at the age of 4 and am now 89 years old, but I still miss you, I really miss you ......."”
Goryeo's journey to find his mother is full of setbacks, and he has never been able to find his mother, which is a huge blow to him. This story reminds us to cherish the time we spend with our parents and practice filial piety in time to avoid the tragedy of "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait".
During the war years, there were many people like Gao Zhihang, who could sacrifice their families, love, and even their lives for the sake of national justice. These revolutionary martyrs are the heroes of our nation, and their heroic deeds have brought us a happy life today.
Therefore, we should respect and remember these heroes. As the general secretary said, "advocating heroes will produce heroes", and we should learn to Xi and respect heroes. 100 help plan
