** One of the top ten marshals of our country, his battlefield exploits are admirable, but his son Zhu Qi is an ordinary person. He worked as a clerk and railroad worker, and most impressively, he married a virtuous wife, Zhao Liping.
The joys, sorrows and sorrows in life are often hidden in small things, and Zhao Liping did not expect that after she married Zhu Qi, she became the "soul giver" of the family. * He had four wives in his life, and Zhu Qi was his eldest son, born to his first wife, Xiao Jufang.
*When I was young, I was sick on the way to Kunming for the exam, but fortunately I was helped by Xiao Jufang's family. They not only provided financial assistance, but also introduced their daughter to him, making a party member and a talented woman combined, which was a good start for ** and Xiao Jufang.
They survived the seven-year itch and ushered in the birth of a child - Zhu Qi. However, less than 100 days after Zhu Qi, Xiao Jufang died of illness. At that time, there were constant wars in the country, the situation was turbulent, and ** was busy with the revolutionary cause and had no time to take care of this child.
So, under the introduction of the people around him, ** married Chen Yuzhen, and then joined the revolution of the Communist Party. However, after a few years, his contact with his family was cut off.
Chen Yuzhen is educated, progressive in thinking, treats Zhu Qi as her own, takes on the responsibility of raising her alone, and keeps the family in order. Until Zhu Qi was a teenager, he was arrested by the Kuomintang to be a strong man, and he experienced many hardships, but there was always no danger.
In 1937, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party achieved a second cooperation, and the situation was slightly stable, so he asked *** to help him go to Luzhou to find his son, so that he could have the opportunity to reunite father and son.
The meeting between father and son was deeply touching. **After looking at Zhu Qi's ears, I recognized this son who had been separated for many years at a glance.
He was not only excited, but also decided to make up for his past regrets and send his son to the ** Party School for further study. Zhu Qi also followed his father's teachings, joined the Communist Party during school and became an excellent Communist Party member, which made ** deeply gratified.
After graduating, ** sent his son to the anti-Japanese front, and someone asked worriedly: "You are the only son, and you want to send him to the front?" * replied with a smile: "My son is not a soldier, who should be a soldier, go to the front line to fight the Japanese devils!" “
However, Zhu Qi did not have his father's good luck and experience in revolutionary struggle, and was shot in the leg and foot shortly after the front line, and had no choice but to be arranged by the party organization to return to Kang Da as section chief.
On the road of revolution, he met her, Zhao Liping. Zhao Liping, born in 1926, is ten years younger than Zhu Qi, although her family has no special merits, her father and second brother are soldiers who are not afraid to sacrifice for the revolution.
Under their influence, Zhao Liping's heart burned with love for the motherland and determination to serve. At the age of fifteen, she left her elderly mother and entered school.
In school, Zhao Liping studied hard, worked competently, and was deeply admired by his classmates as a class leader, which attracted the attention of the party organization. Zhu Qi was already old at this time, and he was physically disabled, and he needed someone to take care of him in life.
Stepmother Kang Keqing and ** are very busy at work and cannot take care of him adequately. Later, Kang Keqing found Zhu Qi's leader, hoping to introduce him to a partner who was willing to support him.
So everyone's eyes focused on Zhao Liping. One day, Zhao Liping was called to the office by instructor Gu Yuling, and several people from the school department were sitting inside, including Zhu Qi.
Zhao Liping was allowed to leave after asking about work, but the next day, Gu Yuling found her: "Xiao Zhao, what do you think of that man?" Zhao Liping was completely confused: "Are you talking about the person from yesterday?" I didn't pay attention to him. Gu Yuling bluntly expressed the party organization's desire to match her with Zhu Qi, which made Zhao Liping feel abrupt, and she replied: "No, no." I'm not even 19 years old and can't get married. And there is a custom in my hometown that you must get your parents' consent to find a partner, otherwise you can't get married. Gu Yuling couldn't force her, so she could only convey Zhao Liping's attitude to the leader, and the matter was finally over.
However, fate made people, Zhao Liping was left to work in school after graduation and became a staff officer. In this way, she and Zhu Qi have become colleagues, and they have more contact with each other, both in life and work.
In order to express his sincere feelings for Zhao Liping, Zhu Qi found Zhao Liping many times, hoping to get her approval. However, Zhao Liping resolutely rejected Zhu Qi's pursuit because he was afraid of the disparity in identity and political status, as well as criticism and possible bullying from the outside world.
Zhu Qi was very surprised and disappointed when he heard the reason for Zhao Liping's refusal. He tried to persuade Zhao Liping to change his living habits and adapt to each other, but Zhao Liping left without hesitation.
This conversation made Zhu Qi feel very painful and lost.
Zhao Liping is a twenty-year-old girl, and in the face of the youthful ignorance of love, it is impossible for her heart to be free of fluctuations. Although there is a gap between the two in terms of political background, in the days of working together, Zhu Qi has already left a deep impression on her heart.
Although the advice given by friends is not suitable, Zhao Liping is still wavering. Zhu Qi did not give up the pursuit, and the reform of the school system also brought changes to the work of the two.
Although Zhao Liping breathed a sigh of relief from the job transfer, before Zhu Qi left, she received an invitation to go to Zhu's house as a guest. This invitation came from Kang Keqing, and Zhao Liping had to go, but at the same time she also knew the purpose of her trip.
This made Zhao Liping distressed: "If you and Zhu Qi go to see the commander-in-chief, it means that you agree to fall in love, if you don't go, you don't respect the old revolutionary, what can I do?" ”
So she asked her friend again for advice, and the answer was: "If you agree to a relationship, go, if you don't, don't." Although a solution was obtained, Zhao Liping felt that it was not fundamental, and after careful consideration, she proposed to Zhu Qi to bring a few female comrades with her.
Although Kang Keqing was very anxious about her son's marriage, Zhao Liping's attitude towards Zhu Qi made her very dissatisfied. She knew that it was a common thing to introduce her son to someone in the party organization, so she found the female general Li Zhen and asked her to talk to Zhao Liping.
* When the commander learned of this, he decided to take a hard and soft approach to help his old friend settle his son's marriage. Although Zhu Qi understood Zhao Liping's attitude towards him in his heart, under the advice of his mother and Kang Keqing, he finally decided to give up this marriage.
However, just when he was discouraged, another "east wind" quietly blew.
* As a well-known "Yue Lao" within the party organization, Zhao Liping was directly called to the office. He asked Zhao Liping if he planned to marry Zhu Qi. Zhao Liping was surprised by such a question, because she had repeatedly rejected Zhu Qi's pursuit, but she still chose to answer: "Marriage?
What to marry? * insisted: "Xiao Zhao, we are going to enter Zhangjiakou, you should get married." If you don't get married, there will be a lot of inconvenience, so let's get married. “
In the face of **'s strong suggestion, Zhao Liping didn't dare to refute too much, so he chose to delay temporarily: "Let's talk about it after the Japanese devils are defeated and the whole country is liberated." “
However, as an experienced ** in the revolutionary arena, he did not buy it: "That's not good, you guys should end it first." How old are you? After learning that Zhao Liping was only twenty years old, ** found a new topic of conversation, he slapped the table and said, "Aren't you married at the age of twenty?" The little girl gave birth at the age of sixteen. What are you thinking about? Hurry up and get married. In the end, Zhao Liping reluctantly raised his objections: "The official is too big!" ”
* The joke is too big, and Zhao Liping agrees to the marriage. **Emphasize the need to get married, but respect the individual's wishes. Although Zhao Liping understood that his fate had been decided, he did not resist, but felt relieved.
* Write a note agreeing to the marriage and emphasize that Zhao Liping is voluntary. At the wedding, ** served as a witness, and many leaders congratulated. Zhao Liping was flattered, and her married life was sweet, and she made progress together with her husband.
Due to the current situation, she was unable to meet her parents-in-law, but they sent her wedding photos.
Zhao Liping and Zhu Qi followed the team for two years of land reform and made great contributions to the party organization. Eventually, they came to Xibaipo and stayed there for a month.
There, the trouble that Zhao Liping had been worried about meeting with ** dissipated after the meeting. **There is no leader's shelf, his smile is kind, and his words are kind, which makes Zhao Liping feel very down-to-earth.
Kang Keqing urged them to have a child as soon as possible, and ** also liked children very much. However, in fact, they had already had a child, but the child died a few days after it was born.
Although Zhao Liping agreed after hearing this, he didn't say a word about the fact of the child, so as to avoid hurting the two old men.
Years of wandering have made Zhao Liping feel deeply about the warmth of home. A family of four often eats in the canteen of the government unit, which is a thrifty lifestyle that has always been advocated.
When they were about to leave, Kang Keqing paid out of his own pocket to treat them to a practice meal. Zhao Liping complied with the arrangement and went to work at the People's Bank of China in Tianjin, while Zhu Qi went to the Shijiazhuang Railway Bureau, one in Hebei and one in Tianjin.
Although they spend very little time together, only occasionally on Saturdays, this has not affected their relationship. In 1950, Zhao Liping gave birth to a second son for the Zhu family, just in time for the critical period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, so he named his grandson "Aid Korea".
* Tell my son, who is about to go to work in the railway bureau, because you work in the army and don't know much about technology, so when you arrive at the railway bureau, don't think about being a leader, but learn from scratch.
In a few years, Zhu Qi was promoted step by step from a screwman in the machine room to a coal shovel in the furnace room, and finally became a driver and managed part of the work. He kept his father's teachings in mind and worked hard to learn the technique.
One day, Zhu Qi learned that the train he was in charge of would have a chief, but he didn't pay much attention to it because his identity was kept secret. In the carriage, ** recognized his dusty and shabby son at a glance, he felt very relieved and encouraged: "I didn't expect to get in the car you drove today, you really learned technology, which is very helpful to your work, and it is difficult to manage well if you don't understand technology." “
This brief encounter between father and son was full of affection. In 1952, Zhao Liping brought a third child to the Zhu family, named "Peace". After that, they gave birth to two more boys and a girl.
Once, when ** was inspecting Tianjin, he heard that Zhao Liping worked in a bank, so he called her to his residence to meet.
Knowing that Zhao Liping is now living a happy life, the former "forced marriage" commander is very proud: "If you hadn't gotten married, you wouldn't have enjoyed such a beautiful life now." ”
At that time, New China had been founded, the revolutionary war was over, and the economy was recovering, and the life of the Zhu family could see the beauty of that era in miniature. Unfortunately, however, they suffered a sudden disaster.
During the special period, Zhu Qi, the son of **, was naturally involved, and the extreme working environment and psychological pressure made him suffer from heart disease. At that time, the level of domestic medicine was not developed enough to effectively ** this disease.
Zhu Qi's physical health gradually deteriorated. On June 10, 1974, after Zhao Liping went out to work, Zhu Qi died suddenly without leaving a word.
On the path of revolution, the couple supported each other and went through many reincarnations, but unexpectedly, they failed to see each other at the last moments. Zhu Qi unfortunately passed away, and Zhao Liping, in order not to suffer a heavy blow to **, chose to hide the news and only told Kang's mother.
The two kept the secret together and told **Zhu Qi that he was receiving ** in the hospital**. After worrying at home for a whole week, Kang Keqing and Zhao Liping have prepared a memorial service for him.
Eventually, when they returned home, Kang Keqing told the truth. Zhao Liping recalled the scene in his later years and was very sad: "That day, my father looked very weak, he looked at me, his Adam's apple moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
At this time, Kang's mother, who was sitting next to me, gently patted me and signaled me to stop crying. Daddy said, 'You didn't tell me at first, it's not right.' It's a shame that I'm such a son, and I'm gone at such a young age.
He once went to a ** party school and had a higher education, and it's a shame that he left at such a young age'. Although they chose to hide the truth, the love and nostalgia of ** remained in his heart forever.
In her later years, Zhao Liping was also bitter about the death of her husband **, when she had reached the year of destiny, and some people persuaded her to remarry to accompany each other. But she said resolutely: "Zhu Qi is my father's only son, if I leave, how big a blow it will be to the second elder." “
However, two years later, the ruthless illness took the life of **, and the Zhu family lost two relatives, which was undoubtedly another painful torture for Zhao Liping.
* He worked hard for the country all his life, and said to his relatives on his deathbed: "If I am gone, I don't have any property, the house belongs to the state, and this table, all of which will be handed over to the state, and you will not go up." But some of my books are bought by myself, and some are issued by the state, so you can read them and study them. There's a statue of the chairman in my reception room, and you can take that. ”
This great generalissimo, whether he lives or dies, will always have the country and the people in his heart. Zhao Liping first said goodbye to her husband, then to her father, and finally to Kang's mother.
Although her legs and feet are inconvenient, every Qingming, she will call her children back and go to the Babaoshan Martyrs Cemetery to add incense to her husband and in-laws. She lives with her daughter in Beijing, and every time someone comes to visit, she always enthusiastically shares the past of the Zhu family.
