In 1982, Wang Shoudao, vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was working on documents in his office when a guard at the door came in to report that a gray-haired woman had come to him with an old man she had longed to see.
Wang Shoudao thought about it, but still couldn't think of who this person was, so he asked the guards to bring in the two people outside the door. When he saw the woman's appearance clearly, he instantly showed a surprised expression and asked tremblingly, "Comrade Wang Quanyuan, is it you?" ”
Wang Shoudao nodded heavily, and a tear slid down his cheek. His mood was indescribable, he didn't expect his long-lost wife to be safe and sound in front of his eyes.
Wang Quanyuan knew the whereabouts of Wang Shoudao in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he didn't find him until 33 years later. They are a revolutionary couple, and what kind of separation and reunion have they experienced?
Let's explore the coincidences and rebirth of hard-working women in the old era.
In 1931, in the revolutionary base area of the Hunan and Jiangxi Soviet regions, the first congress of workers, peasants and soldiers was being enthusiastically held. Wang Shoudao, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, gave a passionate speech that deeply touched every member of the audience, including Wang Quanyuan, the women's minister from Ji'an County.
At that time, Wang Quanyuan was only 18 years old, but he had already experienced a difficult life that others could not understand for half his life. She was born in 1913 in a poor mountain village in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, however, her parents were deeply influenced by the old feudal ideas and expressed strong dissatisfaction with her arrival, which also doomed her to a bumpy fate.
When Wang Quanyuan was very young, she never had an official name. Whenever you asked, your father would always scold: "A simple name is easy to support, and you are just a girl, so what's the use of a formal name?"
Just wait until you get married. Wang Quanyuan was frightened and didn't dare to say anything. But she didn't expect that when she was not growing up, she was sold by her parents to the Wang family in the next village for 40 quintals of millet and became someone else's child daughter-in-law.
When she learned the news, she wept bitterly and found her father's theory.
The father ignored his daughter's happiness and insisted that Ouyang Quanyuan marry the Wang family next door. Although her in-laws treated her harshly and even changed her name, she still chose to repay her parents' kindness.
Wang Quanyuan's tragic experience is a microcosm of the general fate of women in feudal society, no matter how they fight on their grounds, they can only succumb to the pressure of power and spend a torturous life.
However, Wang Quanyuan was fortunate to encounter a women's movement led by the Chinese Communist Party, which allowed her to change her fate. In March 1930, she was washing laundry by the river and preparing to go home, while dragging her tired body to cook for the whole family.
At this moment, a small table where many women gathered attracted her attention.
When Wang Quanyuan heard that something good was happening, she couldn't help but step forward, but she was grabbed by the arm of a short-haired woman. It turned out that this was a propaganda meeting to promote women's rights and break the feudal shackles.
Recalling the miserable life in her in-laws' house and her mother's house, Wang Quanyuan suddenly became interested in this topic. However, in the face of long-term oppression, she could not make up her mind to change.
However, she did not expect that her mother-in-law would see the situation of her overhearing the propaganda of women's emancipation.
When Wang Quanyuan returned home, she was unsurprisingly slandered by her in-laws and forced to marry the son of the Wang family. However, she was determined to break out of the prison in which she was imprisoned and join the women's movement.
Wang Quanyuan's bravery opened a new door to her life, and also allowed her to meet her true love - Wang Shoudao. After listening to Wang Shoudao's passionate speech, Wang Quanyuan deeply admired.
She talked to each other privately and gained a lot of progressive knowledge from it.
Wang Quanyuan's admiration for Wang Shoudao did not translate into other emotions until their lives changed significantly. At the beginning of 1934, the Kuomintang opposition launched a fierce attack on the revolutionary base areas and sent heavy troops to surround the Hunan and Jiangxi borders.
Wang Quanyuan was stranded in Ruijin because he was attending the Second Congress of the Soviets. As a result of her outstanding performance in the women's movement, she has been qualified to join the party. However, due to her illiterateness, she had to enter a Marxist-Leninist university to study, and her application for party membership was temporarily put on hold.
Wang Quanyuan's belief in the victory of the revolution led by the Communist Party of China became stronger and stronger in reading textbooks, and she successfully joined the party and was assigned to the work of expanding popularity. In the transformation of her work, she met love.
When she reported on the Red Expansion Task Force, she met Wang Shoudao, who had become the team leader. Wang Quanyuan greeted Wang Shoudao and told him that she was Wang Quanyuan who greeted him at a meeting of the Soviets.
Wang Shoudao remembered Wang Quanyuan's past vividly, praised her as the women's minister of Jilin County, and praised her for actively speaking at the meeting. He said that they would fight side by side and work together to contribute to the victory of the revolution.
In the activities of going to the countryside to preach our party's ideology and mobilize conscripts, their tacit cooperation has brought about a positive impact on the work of expanding the army. However, just when Wang Quanyuan was devoting herself to the revolutionary cause, news came from her hometown that her husband's illness had worsened and he had unfortunately died.
Wang Shoudao once said: "One day husband and wife have a hundred days." When she learned the news of her husband's death, although Wang Quanyuan did not have deep affection for him, she still shed tears of sadness.
However, this scene was seen by Wang Shoudao, and he stepped forward to comfort her: "Life is as usual, non-human beings can control it, but the dead are gone, and the living need to cherish it." "From childhood to adulthood, Wang Quanyuan grew up under the scolding of the elders in the family, and she could only endure the grievances alone.
However, Wang Shoudao's care made her experience the warmth of emotion for the first time, and there were subtle changes in her heart.
Wang Quanyuan was not a cold-blooded person, and she brought white flowers to mourn her deceased husband. And Wang Shoudao continued to enlighten her, and the communication between the two became closer and closer. On the Long March, they experienced many difficulties and setbacks, but they still persevered.
Due to a shift in strategy, they were forced to separate, but did not expect that after the reorganization of the team, they fought side by side again. Their women's delegation was assigned to the same team, which brought them closer together.
Despite their upheaval, their relationship remains deep.
During the arduous years of the Long March, there was a severe shortage of supplies, and the Red Army soldiers were almost in a state of displacement for the revolutionary cause. Not to mention seeking medical attention in time, it is difficult to ensure food and clothing, and they often have to rely on gnawing on tree bark and wild grasses to satisfy their hunger, and their nutritional status is extremely low.
Wang Quanyuan's strong will could not withstand long-term fatigue and malnutrition, and she suddenly fell ill. Wang Shoudao, who heard the news, hurried to visit, he gave his rations to Wang Quanyuan, and went alone to hunt for food and stew.
Under careful care, Wang Quanyuan's condition finally improved, but Wang Shoudao left silently and did not promote his good deeds.
I'd love to, but I'm already married and I don't know if he'll mind. ”
Looking at Wang Quanyuan's delicate face, the sisters looked at each other and smiled, and volunteered to take on the task of "matchmaker" to explore Wang Shoudao's mind. To their surprise, Wang Shoudao expressed his love for Wang Quanyuan honestly and without reservation.
As long as Comrade Quan Yuan is willing, I am willing to take care of her for the rest of my life! With the approval of the organization, the two held a simple and solemn ceremony with the blessings of everyone.
Their union is one of the few revolutionary companions on the Long March, but it is also the fruit of true love that sprouts in the midst of hardship and suffering.
On the wedding night, Wang Quanyuan said affectionately to Wang Shoudao: "There is a custom in our hometown that the bride will give the groom a pair of black cloth shoes on the wedding day, which means that no matter how far you go, the affection will never be broken."
Because time is short, when I have time, I will definitely make up these shoes. However, she did not expect that Wang Shoudao had been waiting for this promise of "black cloth shoes" for a full forty years.
During the Long March, due to changes in the revolutionary situation, Wang Quanyuan and Wang Shoudao were forced to separate and devote themselves to their respective combat missions. They have very little time to see each other, and they can only rely on letters to convey their thoughts.
It wasn't until 1936 that their connection was completely severed.
When Wang Quanyuan's women's team marched with the Red Fifth Army, they unfortunately encountered the army of the northwestern warlord Ma Bufang. Ma Bufang's army is excellent and aggressive, and our army can only choose to negotiate in order to avoid unnecessary **.
However, before the negotiators sent by our army arrived, Ma Bufang's army directly attacked the city, causing the Red Fourth Army to suffer heavy losses, and the women's team was also lost in the artillery fire, fell into the trap of the enemy, and suffered inhuman treatment.
In March 1939, driven by missing her husband Wang Shoudao, Wang Quanyuan resolutely escaped from the control of the Kuomintang reactionaries. However, after losing the clues of the team, she can only wander around and eventually come to the eight offices in Lanzhou, hoping to find news about her husband.
At that time, because of the hostility of the Kuomintang reactionaries towards our party, they often sent people with fake identities to inquire about the news. Therefore, the eight offices did not disclose the details when they saw that Wang Quanyuan did not have any identity certificate.
But the staff was still very kind and gave her some pestering so that she could continue to find her way home.
Image source network, Wang Quanyuan was forced to return to his hometown in Ji'an to plan for his future. However, although she searched everywhere for news of the organization, it was never fruitful, and as a lonely woman, it was even more difficult to survive in this troubled world, and she could only find a family again and start a new life.
Although she missed Wang Shoudao deeply, Wang Quanyuan still chose to marry an honest and reliable farmer from the same village, and although she lost her fertility due to serious illness, her new husband's family did not dislike her.
Although the life of the two is simple, it is full of tranquility and stability.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Quanyuan had no intention of confessing to the organization, and decided to live peacefully. However, on an occasional radio broadcast, she heard the news of Wang Shoudao, whom she once loved, and she was impulsive to go to Beijing to find it.
However, when she looked at her honest and reliable husband, Wang Quanyuan hesitated again and again, and finally chose to give up. She knew that she already had a family, and that she must have a new partner.
So, they decided to be okay with each other and not interfere with each other.
Wang Shoudao and Wang Quanyuan When Wang Quanyuan's identity as a female soldier of the Red Army became known to the township, her past attracted the attention of the sisters of the women's group who escaped in the past. She decided to meet Wang Shoudao, but her old feelings also gave her soul some sustenance.
Although Wang Quanyuan knew that Wang Shoudao already had a wife, she did not know that the other party had tried his best to find her when she disappeared. The past has become a memory, and mutual well-being is the last hope.
In 1936, after Wang Shoudao learned the news that the Red Fifth Army was attacked by enemy troops in the Hexi Corridor, he was anxious and had a foreboding. However, with his responsibilities on his side, he could not leave the army and could only look around for news, but he still did not get an update.
It was not until the troops arrived in Yan'an that Wang Shoudao finally got in touch with the soldiers of the Red Fifth Army. After learning the details of that war, he cried out in anguish: "What about the members of the women's delegation?
Where is Comrade Wang Quanyuan? ”
Wang Quanyuan said: "Our fates are linked, but we lost contact in the retreat, and perhaps encountered unexpected ......Wang Shoudao was emotional and couldn't accept this reality.
Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he sent people to look for Wang Quanyuan in Ji'an, Jiangxi, but still did not find her whereabouts, so he re-established his family and started a new life.
Looking at Wang Shoudao's moist eyes, Wang Quanyuan was deeply relieved and said, "We all have a new family and should live a happy life." Let the things of the past pass, and we will henceforth be commensurate with our revolutionary comrades. ”
With Wang Shoudao's encouragement, Wang Quanyuan bravely reported the events of that year to the organization. She was quickly reinstated in the party, received the treatment she deserved, and had a wonderful old age with her husband.
Although Wang Quanyuan and Wang Shoudao, the halfway couple, did not finally come together, their deep revolutionary friendship in the Anti-Japanese War was unparalleled. The blandness after recognizing each other is also the embodiment of their tacit understanding.
During Wang Quanyuan's serious illness, Wang Quanyuan specially sent the cloth shoes she had been thinking about, as a perfect end to the relationship between them.
