In June 1985, Cai Chang, the eldest revolutionary sister in Beijing, received a letter from Yudu County, Jiangxi. In the letter, a 71-year-old rural woman named Lai Yueming expressed her wish to pay attention to her problem and solve it properly as soon as possible.
Cai Chang burst into tears after reading the letter, and she instructed the Letters and Visits Bureau of the ** General Office to verify the matter, and conveyed her concern for the letter writer to the Yudu County Party Committee of Jiangxi. Lai Yueming is not an idle person, she is the wife of the ** marshal, and her identity has been extraordinary.
Under Cai Chang's instructions, Yudu County specially took care of Lai Yueming and provided a living allowance of 30 yuan per month, which deeply touched him. Three years later, Lai Yueming suddenly received a letter from Beijing, mentioning that Cai Chang's eldest sister was seriously ill and asking if he would like to visit him in Beijing.
Lai Yueming agreed without hesitation, he hadn't seen Cai Chang for 54 years, and now his husband ** has also passed away, but he still hopes to see Cai Chang again.
In September 1988, Lai Yueming came to Beijing accompanied by her son, although Cai Chang was critically ill at this time, but when she heard that Lai Yueming was coming, she still insisted on seeing him, and nodded with difficulty: "I must see him." ”
When Lai Yueming saw Cai Chang again, tears poured down like a tide. "Sister, do you remember me? I am the wife of **, my name is Lai Yueming. "When did Lai Yueming and ** get married?
In the married life of ** and Lai Yueming, what role does Cai Chang play? In the end, why did Lai Yueming and ** go to a state of separation?
Lai Yueming, a girl born in an ordinary peasant family in Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province, had a childhood full of pain. As a girl, she was never taken seriously by her father, and at the age of three she was passed to her opium-smoking uncle.
In order to buy opium, her uncle sold her to a family surnamed Xie as a child daughter-in-law. However, the tribulations of life did not dampen her will, but inspired her courage. At the age of 15, when the Red Army liberated her hometown and established the Soviet**, Lai Yueming saw hope for a change in her fate, and she did not hesitate to join the Women's Improvement Committee and join the revolution.
Despite the many injustices she experienced during her childhood, these experiences sharpened her character and made her appear strong and intelligent in the revolution. Therefore, her superiors spoke highly of her and decided to entrust her with important tasks.
In 1932, the Communist Party of China founded the Lenin Normal School in Ruijin, and Lai Yueming was sent to the school for further study. After graduating, she was assigned to the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Ningdu Young Communist Party as an officer of the Children's Bureau.
This working environment had a profound impact on Lai Yueming's revolutionary life, because she met Cai Chang here, and also got acquainted with **, and her legendary revolutionary career officially began here.
A month after Lai Yueming joined the Children's Bureau, it was surprising that an "assassination" occurred in Ningdu, the main town of the calm Soviet region. The defeated local tyrants and inferior gentry were unwilling and intended to sabotage the revolution.
On a dark night when he couldn't see his fingers, Xiao Zeng, a correspondent of the Children's Bureau, was brutally murdered. After learning the news, Cai Chang, director of the Organization Department of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and head of the Women's Department of the Communist Party of China, immediately rushed to the scene.
She hugged Xiao Zeng's corpse and said bitterly: "Xiao Zeng, I'm sorry for you, you left too early, you are only fifteen years old this year......Her sincere feelings deeply touched Lai Yueming.
A few days later, Lai Yueming found Cai Chang and asked, "Sister, I want to learn culture, please accept me as a student, okay?" ”
Lai Yueming's request moved Cai Chang, and Cai Chang agreed without hesitation. Since then, under the guidance of Cai Chang, Lai Yueming's cultural knowledge has been greatly improved, the number of literacy has increased, and his ability to do things has gradually increased.
In August of the same year, ** led the troops to victory, the people's soldiers of the Soviet area beat gongs and drums to welcome, and the Provincial Committee of the Young Communist Party also prepared a literary and artistic team to comfort the soldiers on the front line.
That night, Lai Yueming sang a song of rejuvenating the country, which was appreciated by **. A few days later, the two met again while playing table tennis, and they were impressed with each other.
After Cai Chang learned about it, he decided to match the two young people.
* There was a lady named Xiao Juying, but she later died by jumping into a well, and ** has been alone ever since. Although Lai Yueming has a special affection for **, she is worried that the gap between herself and ** is too big.
* was a senior leader of the Red Army, and she was just an ordinary Red Army soldier. But after Cai Chang learned of Lai Yueming's worries, he immediately gave her relief and let go of her hanging heart.
On September 9, 1932, Lai Yueming and ** held a simple wedding, and the only gift Lai Yueming received before the marriage was a piece of silk sent by Cai Chang. However, after Lai Yueming got married, she found that due to the needs of the revolutionary situation, her and **'s desire to live a good life seemed to be an unrealizable "luxury".
In October 1934, the Red Army was forced to start the Long March because of the defeat of the fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" battle. **Wounded in the battle, although Bogu and others discussed and decided to let him stay, Cai Chang wrote to Lai Yueming before leaving, asking her to stay and take good care**.
Lai Yueming followed the advice of ** and stayed by his side to take care of him. With the intensification of the enemy's "encirclement and suppression", for the safety of Lai Yueming, ** persuaded her to leave.
After several years of revolutionary career, Lai Yueming is not a little girl who doesn't know the severity, she is reluctant to separate from **. But at that time, they didn't expect that this parting would become eternal.
Lai Yueming used to work for ** as the women's minister of the Xingsheng County Party Committee. At that time, due to the enemy's frenzied encirclement and suppression of revolutionary work, Lai Yueming's biological father felt guilty, and he walked 15 miles of mountain roads on crutches to take Lai Yueming home.
In order to protect her, Lai's father announced that Lai Yueming committed suicide by jumping into a well. During the Anti-Japanese War, when ** led the New Fourth Army to resist the war, after Xingguo, he sent people everywhere to find Lai Yueming's whereabouts.
In the end, when he learned the news that Lai Yueming committed suicide by jumping into a well, his heart was like a knife, and tears fell like rain. In order to remember her, ** wrote a poem to mourn her, and the deceased mentioned in it was Lai Yueming.
Lai Yueming happened to see **with foreign guests** in a store, and her emotions for many years made her cry. When she got home, she told her husband that she wanted to find **. However, the husband objected, saying, "* It was your former husband, why didn't you say it before?"
We now have children, and as soon as you leave, our family will be scattered, and you can't go. Looking at the crying child, Lai Yueming finally gave up the idea of looking for **.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's 1972.
Lai Yueming said to her husband: "You set up a spiritual plaque for me in the hall and burn a few incense sticks, which is my last intention to **." After the special period ended, Lai Yueming wanted to be rehabilitated and spend the rest of her life, but when she knew that Sister Cai Chang was still looking for her everywhere, her heart began to waver.
In 1985, Lai Yueming wrote a letter to Cai Chang, bringing the scene at the beginning of the article. In 1988, after 54 years of waiting, Lai Yueming finally saw Cai Chang again, and when the two met again, they couldn't help crying and didn't know what to say.
