On the night of September 6, 1949, a group of people came to Guizhou from Chongqing.
Before reaching their destination, the two men completely disappeared in the vast night. One is called Yang Hucheng, and the other is his son Yang Zhengzhong.
Others may or may not be aware that someone in the group has disappeared. But their fate is not in their own handsEven if you know that danger is coming, there is no way back.
The other 4 were taken by several agentsDai Gong Ancestral HallDark clouds have covered the entire land, the moon has taken refuge in the darkness, and ** things are brewing.
Several of them came to a hut on the pine slope, motherXu LinxiaI'm already sweating profusely, fatherSong QiyunWith the only clean corner of her clothes, she wiped her sweat distressedly.
The warmth between them did not last for 5 seconds, several spies rushed in, they didn't say anything, and directly cut their mother Xu Linxia to the ground with a bayonet, and their father Song Qiyun didn't have time to resist, he was stabbed through the chest, and his life dissipated on this land.
"You can hurt me ......But don't hurt ......Two children. ”Mother Xu Linxia gulped blood, her chest couldn't stop rising and falling, and she struggled to say this.
The night was getting deeper, and only two screams were heard, which scared the crows outside the house.
And then there's eternal tranquility.
Small radish headsHis life died at this moment, but his story was passed down from generation to generation.
The real name of the little radish head is calledSong Zhenzhong
His father, Song Qiyun, was a graduate of the sixth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and served as Yang Hucheng's secretary, and his mother, Xu Linxia, was a member of the women's committee of the Pixian County Party Committee, both of whom were members of the Communist Party.
Song Zhenzhong, the little radish head, is the crystallization of their love and was born on March 15, 1941 in Pizhou, Jiangsu.
The little one was born in the spring and was put in prison in the winter.
In the cold winter of 1941, two people, one older and one young, came to the "White Mansion" prison in Chongqing.
The adult is called Xu Linxia, and the child is called Song Zhenzhong.
When Song Zhenzhong came to prison, it was less than nine months old.
Because the two fathers were separated and detained, Song Zhenzhong, the little radish head, did not have a chance to see his father, and his mother was always by his side.
The cries of babies often echo for a long time in the prison, adding a bit of desolation to the already cold and terrible prisonIt was the voice of Song Zhenzhong, who was only 8 months old.
There are more than three in this prison:There are many rats, rat droppings, and mosquitoes.
The baby was in a damp prison, often bitten by mosquitoes, and often covered in red, purple and black bags.
Mother Xu Linxia because of serious nutritional deficiencies, often no milk, she looked at the bad living environment, and then looked at the crying baby in her arms, Xu Linxia had to endure silently to make herself stronger.
She slept on her belly at night and held him in her arms during the day.
Xu Linxia only relied on eating radish and cabbage, and he simply pulled the little radish head Song Zhenzhong to the age of six.
Why do we call Song Zhenzhong a little radish head?
Because the food in the prison is extremely bad, radish and cabbage are common, and occasionally you can get a piece of cold noodles that has not been formed in the dinner plate, which is already extremely nutritious.
Mother Xu Linxia wanted to supplement some nutrition for her child, so she dragged her weak body to do hard labor, and in the hot weather, this woman's forehead was dripping with drops of sweat, and her withered yellow hair stuck to her forehead.
When Xu Linxia held a handful of soybeans like a baby and handed them to Song Zhenzhong, he looked at the soybeans longingly, and saliva kept rolling in his throat, but he just shook his head and said to his mother"Mother eats first, and I eat later. ”
Therefore, Song Zhenzhong is slightly shorter than his peers, looks yellow and thin, has a big head and a small body, so people in prison call him "Little Radish Head".
The innocence and kindness of the little radish head bring a ray of light to this dark prison, and the inmates will look at the little radish head with pity, and look at his immature face and laughZhang Luping, who is also called "mother" by the little radish head, often holds the little radish head in her arms and hums a beautiful lullaby to lull him to sleep.
In 1947, a strange man came to the little radish head, he was more excited than the aunts that the little radish head usually saw, the moment he saw the little radish head, the strange man suddenly red eyes, hugged the little radish head tightly in his arms, and his mouth couldn't stop saying:
"Son......My son, you have grown up so skinny ......So skinny ......”In the year, fatherSong QiyunReunited with the father and son of the little turnip.
This strong, steely man, weeps when he sees his childish child in prison.
After enjoying a short period of family affection, his father Song Qiyun stood up, looked at Xu Linxia with firm eyes, and said:
"The child has to go to school! ”Xu Linxia's eyes showed worry, and she immediately continued:
"We can think of it this way, others may not do this, how can it be possible to agree with a child to go to school? ”Song Qiyun shook his head, and he said
"As long as the comrades are of one mind, going to school is not a problem! ”After separating from them, Song Qiyun proposed to the spy the idea of asking Song Zhen** to go to school. But the spies were afraid that what they had done would be known to the world, and they resolutely refused to let the little radish head go out to study. In the end, the comrades in prison fought several times, and they decided toCollective struggle plus strikes and hunger strikesIn order to fight for the rights and interests of the little carrot head, but also to fight for the improvement of prison living conditions.
Finally, the little radish head got the opportunity to readThe spies appointed "political prisoner" Huang Xiansheng as the teacher of the little radish head.
On the night before the start of school, Xu Linxia, the mother of the little radish head, turned out a few torn clothes pressed at the foot of the bed, cut off the fabric that was still intact on it, sewed and mended it into a new dress, and used the remaining rags to piece together a small schoolbag, she carefully smoothed out each fold, and then folded it next to the bed of the little radish head.
Loving eyes were always on the sleeping child.
On the second day, when the little radish head excitedly put on new clothes and carried a new schoolbag to the prison gate, a tall and strong, swarthy spy suddenly appeared at the door
"In the future, no matter where you go, you must listen to my instructions, I will take you over and bring you back. ”Undeterred by his bravado, he nodded, turned and waved to his mother, then turned and left with the black agent.
When he saw Huang Xiansheng for the first time,The man in front of him was already so thin that he was out of shape, his yellow ** was covered with cheekbones, and he looked seriously malnourished, but he had a warm smile on his face.
Huang Xiansheng beckoned the little radish head closer, he was about to start the first class.
The black agent stared angrily at the teacher and student at first, and then he gradually got bored and slipped outside the room to play with stones.
Huang Xiansheng's lessons were not compromised by the lack of an audience, and he still patiently taught the little turnip head, writing one big word after another on the dust and sand deposited on the floor - I am a Chinese.
Little Radish Head held half of a pencil tightly in his hand, and his eyes were constantly looking at the big words that shimmered in the sunlight.
His mouth squirmed, and he slowly and word by word followed Uncle Huang as he said"I am a Chinese. ”
Huang Xiansheng nodded with satisfaction after listening to it, and then taught the second sentence to the little radish head——I love the Communist Party of China.
The little turnip head smiled, and an apple-like color appeared on his pale and yellow face, and he said in a milky voiceI love the Communist Party of China. ”
Huang Xiansheng asked him:"Do you know what the Chinese Communist Party is? ”
The little radish head hurriedly replied:
"Standing outside the prison are spies, and inside the prison is the Chinese Communist Party; It was the Communist Party of China that defeated the Japanese devils, and it was also the Communist Party that wanted to build a new China, and I also had a secret ......”The little radish head blinked smartly and looked at Uncle Huang without speaking.
Huang Xiansheng was curious, and then asked the little radish head, hoping to know what the secret in his mouth was.
The little radish head pretended to be mysteriously close to Uncle Huang, and whispered close to his ear
"I know that my father and mother are communists, and I know that you are communists, but I will keep it a secret for you, you are all heroes in my heart. ”Huang Xiansheng's heart was hit by something at this moment, and he felt countless warm currents rushing to his throat, he looked at the little child in front of him, hugged him in his arms like a father, and said to him softly"You're a good boy......”Little Radish Head slowly grew longer in prison to study, at first the black spy was still following step by step, and after a long time, the spy who was already tired of guarding a child completely lost his patience.
One day, the black agent pulled the little turnip head into a corner and said to him viciously:
"You won't do bad things alone! Will you go to other cells! Will it be disobedient! ”The little carrot knew that the black agent was scaring him, and he vaguely felt that there was freedom hidden behind these words.
So he blinked his innocent eyes, looked at the black agent and said:
"No, I'm not going to do that. ”After this unpleasant conversation, the Black Agent was no longer seen by Carrot Head's side, and he returned to his free body and could move freely around the prison.
One day, the little radish head happily ran from the corridor and threw himself into the arms of his mother Xu Linxia.
He was very happy, and his two little faces turned red, and he tilted his head and said to his mother"Mom, I'll recite a new poem, I'll tell you. ”
The door for people to enter and exit is locked
The hole for the dog to crawl out is open,
A voice shouted
Climb out and give you freedom!
I longed for freedom, but I also knew it
How can a human body crawl out of a dog's hole!
I can only look forward to that day
The fire in the ground rushed,
Burn this living coffin with me
I should be in the fire and the blood,
Gain eternal life.
Listening to this poem, Xu Linxia's tears flowed down, leaving two lines of tears on her dry cheeks, and she said - this poem, yes"Prisoner Song" written by General Ye TingWe don't crawl out of the dog's hole, because we are human beings, we look forward to fire and blood, and we look forward to a new tomorrow.
Xu Linxia squatted down and said to the little radish head"Remember, I am the Communist Party of China, and so are you. ”
The little radish head carefully wrote down this sentence, and said silently in his heart:"Mother, I know that I am a communist. ”
During these days in prison, Little Radish not only studied diligently, but also did a lot of things for many fellow refugees.
Since he was free, one day he received a task from Uncle Huang to deliver a small note to Xu Xiaoxuan.
It turned out that this small note was about Huang Xiansheng, Xu Xiaoxuan, and Chen Ran, the person in charge of the "Advance Daily".
Because of the little carrot head, the three men established contact in prison, and the new "Advance Newspaper" came into being, which was a simple but consolation to all the Communists in prison.
The content of the newspaper is very short, but it is rich enough, and it usually only has a few sentences written on it, such as ——
"The People's Liberation Army won a complete victory on the Liaoshen battlefield, destroying 470,000 Chiang Kai-shek bandits ......"The whole territory of Northeast China was liberated......"Xinhua News Agency Publishes New Year's Day Message: Carry the Revolution to the End."Once, Uncle Huang gave Little Radish Head a more urgent task, which was a sweat-soaked white note, on which black notes outlined some strange rectangles and words.
Little Carrot didn't know what it was, he just felt his heart pounding, and he couldn't help but watch the guards' reactions with his eyes as he made his way through the prison guards. Fortunately, no one paid attention to him, and the little radish head handed over the small paper ball to Xu Xiaoxuan without danger.
It turned out that this was a map about the White Mansion, which recorded in detail the terrain and defense of the White Mansion and the surrounding sentry posts.
What precious news!
But,When Little Radish was just 9 years old, his childhood had not left him, but the sad fate had already found him.
On September 6, 1949, Yang Hucheng, his son Yang Zhengzhong, daughter Yang Zhenggui and Xiao Radish Tou and his family embarked on the road from Chongqing to Guizhou, not knowing that they would never return.
One night, the spies brutally stabbed Yang Hucheng and his son Yang Zhengzhong to death.
Later, the spies came to the little radish head with bayonets, Xu Linxia and Song Qiyun already knew this ending, they had put life and death aside, and the only thing they couldn't bear was their children.
After the blow she was blown, the poor mother was still thinking about her child, and she said to the agents
"You can kill me, but you can't touch the child, let the little radish head go, even if he is allowed to beg for food on the street! ”The agents grinned and responded to the mother's plea with bayonets.
Little Turnip's family was killed in a hut, and the agents buried them on the spot and poured cement on the ground.
It was not until after the liberation of Chongqing that their story became widely known, and their bodies were exhumed by descendants and transferred to the tomb of Yang Hucheng on the outskirts of Xi'an for burial.
Little Radish was only 9 years old when he became righteous, and there were only 24 days left before the arrival of New China.
Song Zhenzhong, the youngest revolutionary martyr, never left the enemy's prison in his life.
