Thank you for your support and interest! In 1993, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great leader, the whole country was preparing for various commemorative activities in an intense and orderly manner, and various newspapers were also busy with the press and publication.
Suddenly, a newspaper office welcomed an elderly man with an old and broken camphor box. She frankly told reporters that she wanted to hand over this precious historical relic because she could not live up to He's mother's commission.
So, who is this old man? Who is Mother He that she is talking about? And what kind of secret is hidden in this camphor wood box? It turned out that this old man's name was Yin Lan, she was He Zizhen's orderly, and He Zizhen's mother was He Zizhen herself.
As for the camphor wood box, it was Yang Kaihui's relics.
So, why did Yang Kaihui's relics fall into the hands of He Zizhen? Why did He Zizhen entrust it to Yin Lan and hand it over to the state? What kind of story is hidden in this?
He Zizhen, formerly known as He Guiyuan, was the eldest daughter of He Huanwen, a squire in Yongxin, Jiangxi. At the age of 16, she joined the Chinese Communist Youth League, and at the age of 18, she began to engage in confidential and propaganda work in the organs of the Hunan and Jiangxi Border Special Committee and the Front Committee of the Red Fourth Army.
At that time, after the failure of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, ** led the troops to Jinggangshan to establish a base area, and He Zizhen was sent to work beside ***. It was at that time that she met ***.
The young He Zizhen attracted the attention of *** with his capable and intelligent character. ** Expressing his feelings to her, He Zizhen's cheeks flushed slightly after hearing it, but she was in a very happy mood.
They soon entered the palace of marriage, although the wedding was simple, but everyone laughed and was very lively. However, the failure of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" forced the Red Army to shift its positions and begin the arduous road of the Long March.
During this journey, He Zizhen gave birth to a daughter, but due to the harsh environment and dangers, they could not take the child with them.
In a difficult decision, the mother ultimately chose to send her child to regular home foster care. At the moment when the child left, He Zizhen's heart was full of reluctance, and she gave her only two silver dollars to the farmer to show her gratitude.
Although the Long March was full of hardships and equipment and supplies were extremely scarce, He Zizhen still gave food to the soldiers around her, even though she had just given birth and her body needed nutrition to recover.
Grandpa Mao's heart ached, and he took out nine silver dollars and asked the guards to buy some food for He Zizhen's body. When He Zizhen learned about it, he resolutely refused: "I want to share weal and woe with the soldiers." ”
However, she was too weak to stand. After discussion, they decided to buy only one carp. In April 1935, the Red Army came to a small mountain village in Panxian County to rest and reorganize, and at noon, the sky suddenly heard the sound of rumbling airplanes.
The fighters realized that this was the first plane and quickly shouted "Hide!" Take cover! ”。The guards hurriedly took He Zizhen to find a hidden place.
At this moment, He Zizhen found a wounded man in the range of enemy bombardment, and he was too injured to move. He Zizhen did not hesitate to stride towards the wounded.
She quickly bandaged the wounded man's wound with a towel, then helped him onto the stretcher and dragged it to a hidden location. However, not long after He Zizhen gave birth, his body was still very weak and could only move forward step by step.
Just as she was about to reach the hiding point, they were spotted by enemy planes. The plane swooped down, and machine guns and bombs came at her in unison. At this life-and-death moment, He Zizhen did not hesitate to pounce on the wounded, after a burst of indiscriminate bombardment, He Zizhen felt a sharp pain in her body, and her body had been blown into a blur of flesh and blood.
The bomb exploded around her, and shrapnel was deeply embedded in her body, with scars on her head, back, and everywhere. Her blood stained the ground red, and finally He Zizhen fainted from excessive blood loss.
In the absence of anesthetic, He Zizhen's soldiers held her down and pulled out seventeen pieces of shrapnel from her. Although due to the constraints of conditions, they can only remove the shrapnel on the surface, but they cannot take out the shrapnel that penetrates deep into the body, He Zizhen has always maintained perseverance.
Every shrapnel on her body bears witness to her great spirit of selfless dedication to the revolution. After several days of hard rescue, she was finally out of danger, but the shrenchnel that remained in her body forever became a symbol of her bravery.
When He Zizhen woke up, the first thing she did was to care about the wounded soldier, and she was relieved to learn that he was fine.
**After learning that He Zizhen was seriously injured in order to cover his comrades-in-arms, he immediately came to visit. Seeing his wife sacrificing herself like this, his heart was full of pity and admiration.
In order not to affect the itinerary of the Red Army, He Zizhen proposed to live in the farmer's house, but her comrades-in-arms resolutely refused to let her stay alone. They carried her forward together, and when they encountered insurmountable difficulties, they took turns carrying her.
When her injuries improved, she insisted on not burdening others and insisted on walking on her own. In the end, with tenacious perseverance, she successfully completed the long march.
He Zizhen is an idealistic and ambitious woman, and after the end of the Long March, she has been eager to learn. However, physical reasons forced her to drop out of school after reading half of the book.
At this time, **'s official business was busy, and the time spent between the two was decreasing, which led to some contradictions.
He Zizhen was in poor health and wanted to go to the Soviet Union to recuperate and study, although she was retained many times, she insisted on her own opinion and finally went to the Soviet Union. However, the quiet life did not last long, and she gave birth to a boy named Lyova in the Soviet Union, but unfortunately, the child contracted pneumonia at the age of 10 months and unfortunately died.
This made her miserable, but *** did not make her lonely, sent her daughter Li Min to her, and let Mao Anying and Mao Anqing accompany her often, and her spirit improved.
After returning to China, He Zizhen longed to devote herself to the construction of the liberated areas, and she expressed this wish to the organization. In order to fulfill her wishes, the organization arranged for her to work in the cadre department of the Northeast Bureau Federation of Trade Unions.
However, due to He Zizhen's many injuries, her superiors suggested that she find a soldier to reduce her burden. Fortunately, there were several female Komsomol members living in the unit, and they were all very enthusiastic.
When they heard that they were going to serve the heroine as an orderly, they all rushed to be the first to do so. He Zizhen took a fancy to the cheerful and smiling Yin Lan at a glance, that is, the old man who walked into the newspaper office at the beginning of the article.
Although Shuzi is in line with your temperament, we are all revolutionary soldiers, and it sounds a little squeamish. It's better to call you Yin Lan. Yin Lan is a lively and cheerful girl, and when she learned that He Zizhen had suffered many injuries during the revolution, she took the initiative to take care of her, taking care of all the big and small things on herself, and did her best to help He Zizhen recover her body.
He Zizhen deeply felt that it was not easy to take care of this family, and always greeted her as if she were her own. The two families got along very happily. In 1949, He Zizhen's sister He Yi came to the house.
Soon, after He Yi returned to Beijing, he handed over a letter from Li Min to ***. After reading the letter, ** was eager to see her daughter, and immediately arranged for He Yi to take Li Min to Beijing.
The friendship between He Zizhen and Yin Lan is based on mutual care and support. Yin Lan was worried that He Zizhen would feel lonely, so she often chatted with her to divert her attention.
In a chat, He Zizhen made a suggestion for Yin Lan to call her "Mother He", which made Yin Lan very happy. However, He Zizhen also realized that Yin Lan couldn't stay with her all the time, delaying her future.
Therefore, she contacted Shenyang University of Finance and Economics and asked Yin Lan to go there to learn more knowledge in order to serve the motherland. Before Yin Lan left, He Zizhen gave her a camphor wood box.
Yin Lan has seen this box before, He Zizhen cherishes it very much, and she has to take it with her wherever she goes, and she will not forget it even when she goes on a business trip. Although the box is very old, the surface has been wiped very clean by He Zizhen.
At first, Yin Lan was puzzled why an old box was so precious. But later, He Zizhen told her the origin of the box.
This is a box full of history, and its owner was Yang Kaihui, the second wife. At the moment of their parting, she handed over the box to *** to express ***'s deep feelings for her.
Even during the revolutionary years, this box was always carried with them and became a testimony of their love. Later, He Zizhen became the secretary of ***, and this box was also used by her to hold documents, which became the link between her and ***.
Although Yin Lan didn't expect that there was such a deep affection behind this small box, He Zizhen insisted that she keep it, and hoped that she would have the opportunity to transfer it to *** in the future
Yin Lan saw He Zizhen's deep longing for ***, and this box became an emotional bond between them, witnessing their history and emotions.
I'll take good care of it, Mother He, please rest assured. Yin Lan's eyes flashed with tears. Since that parting, the two have not been reunited. After getting acquainted with Zhang Wenzhong and entering the marriage hall, this small camphor wooden box became her belongings and witnessed her life.
In the 60s, she was suffering from a serious illness, the death of her husband and the illness of her children, and she fell into despair several times. However, Mother He's entrustment gave her endless strength and gave her the belief to live.
However, due to the erosion of the years, her contact with He Zizhen and Li Min has long been interrupted. It wasn't until 1984 that she learned of He Zizhen's death from the newspaper.
On the occasion of the centenary of his birth, Yin Lan decided to hand over this wooden box to the state, although the wooden box was not handed over to *** in person, but this also reflects Yin Lan's adherence to her promise.
This small wooden box not only bears the historical imprint of the heroic dedication and selfless dedication of the ancestors during the Chinese Revolution, but also a symbol of deep love and longing between *** and his wife.
