Widowhood may not be a true hero, and love is even greater. As a great man, like ordinary people, he must also be a son, a husband, and a father, and have a strong family affection that cannot be avoided or avoided. Today, Brother Di will talk about the story between *** and his mother-in-law Xiang Zhenxi.
In 1870, Xiang Zhenxi was born in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, to a scholarly family, she married Yang Changji at the age of 18, after marriage the two have a very good relationship, Xiang Zhenxi not only took care of her husband from the life, but also gave full support to his career, the two had a boy and two daughters, the eldest son was Yang Kaizhi, the eldest daughter died tragically, and the second daughter was Yang Kaihui.
In 1903, with the support of Xiang Zhenxi, Yang Changji went to Japan alone to study for 6 years, then went to England to study for 3 years, and went to Germany for 9 months of educational investigation, until 1913, when he returned from his studies. At this time, Xiang Zhenxi was no longer willing to leave her husband, she followed Yang Chang Jinan to the north, took care of the family carefully, and did her best to support her husband's education. It is with the support of Xiang Zhenxi that Yang Changji has discovered students such as Cai Hesen. On January 17, 1920, when Xiang Zhenxi was just 50 years old, illness took Yang Changji's life.
At this time, he was in urgent need of a fund to set up a "Cultural Book Club", and when he had no way to raise it, Yang Kaihui thought of the money in his mother's hand. Xiang Zhenxi looked at his daughter's helpless sad face, resolutely opened the cloth bag wrapped layer after layer, and handed the money to his daughter to support the revolutionary cause.
** and Yang Kaihui.
After Yang Kaihui married ***, Xiang Zhenxi lived with them in Changsha Qingshuitang to cover them to do revolutionary underground work. The successive births of Mao Anying, Mao Anqing, and Mao Anlong made Xiang Zhenxi's face bloom with a smile, she tirelessly raised her three grandchildren, and silver threads unconsciously climbed up her temples.
In 1930, after Yang Kaihui bravely took up her righteousness, Xiang Zhenxi got in touch with the local party organization, and she went through hardships and dangers, and finally escorted the three Mao Anying brothers to Shanghai safely. When Xiang Zhenxi returned to Hunan, her contact with her three grandchildren was severed. From then on, whether it was the bright moon in the sky or the dark clouds covering the sun, Xiang Zhenxi always wandered alone in the courtyard, muttering the names of the Anying brothers ......
In August 1949, when Changsha was peacefully liberated, when her relatives told Xiang Zhenxi the good news, she couldn't help crying with joy and said excitedly: "Can I wait until this day? I've waited until this day! Runzhi is now in **? What about Kishiying? ”
Not long after, Yang Kaizhi wrote a letter to *** in Beijing, in which he reported the situation at home, **After learning the news that Xiang Zhenxi was still alive, he was very happy, and he immediately replied to Yang Kaizhi:
Mr. Yang Kaizhi: I have been informed of your communication. The old lady is alive and well, and I congratulate her. Both Anying and Anqing are in Beiping. Anqing is still learning. Anying may be able to return to Hunan to work, and he would like to see his grandmother's ......I'm in good health, so tell the old lady not to read it. My brother is very good at farm production, and if the family can get by with food and clothing, he will be told.After Yang Kaizhi received the letter, he replied to ***, hoping to work in Beijing. Yang Kaizhi graduated from Beijing Agricultural College in his early years, and also tried his best to support the revolutionary work, his only daughter Yang Zhan died heroically in the autumn of 1941 in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area. It stands to reason that Yang Kaizhi has academic qualifications, ability, has contributed to the revolution, and is a martyr's family, so he fully meets the conditions for working in Beijing, but who made him a relative of ***? **After careful consideration, it is believed that the door of crony should not be opened.
Soon after, ** wrote a letter to Wang Shoudao, a member of the Hunan Provincial Military and Political Commission, in which he said:
Yang Kaizhi and others should not come to Beijing, and should be assigned appropriate work in Hunan according to their abilities, and any unreasonable demands should not be allowed.
**。The Hunan Provincial Party Committee in accordance with the requirements of the letter, according to Yang Kaizhi's profession and expertise, has made him the Provincial Department of Agriculture technician and director of the research office, the deputy manager of the provincial tea company and the deputy director of the tea management office, Yang Kaizhi also actively obeyed the organization's arrangement, work very well.
In September 1949, Wang Jiaxiang's wife Zhu Zhongli returned to Changsha to visit relatives, and specially entrusted her to visit Xiang Zhenxi on her behalf and took a leather jacket. After Zhu Zhongli saw Xiang Zhenxi, she conveyed a message from ***: "* I want to take you to Beijing, and they will take care of you personally." ”
Xiang Zhenxi shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not going, I've been to Nanjing and Beijing, and I've lived enough!" ”
In May 1950, Xiang Zhenxi's 80th birthday, ** specially sent Mao Anying back to Hunan to celebrate his grandmother's birthday. In early May, when Mao Anying stood in front of Xiang Zhenxi, the old man wiped his eyes, and when she recognized that the person standing in front of her was indeed her beloved grandson, she said excitedly: "Son, Anying, it's you, your appearance hasn't changed......."Hello Dad! What about my brother? Grandma is getting old...... grinning”
Xiang Zhenxi. When Mao Anying asked Xiang Zhenxi what she wanted, she only made one request: 100,000 yuan (old currency, about 10 yuan now) to pay off the neighbor's loan. The old man Xiang Zhenxi is still the same as before, giving more and asking for less.
In 1960, Xiang Zhenxi's ninetieth birthday, ** wrote a congratulatory letter to Yang Kaihui's cousin Yang Kaiying, and sent 200 yuan as a birthday gift.
In 1962, Xiang Zhenxi closed his eyes forever with a smile and died at the age of 92. **After learning the news, he was very sad, and he wrote a letter to Yang Kaizhi:
Dedian was shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Yang and was very sad. May you and your wife mourn. Send 500 yuan as a mourning. The funeral ceremony can be shared with Comrade Yang Kaihui and my dear wife. Our two families are the same family, regardless of each other, I hope you will mourn and change.
