In 1994, Comrade ** was enjoying his retirement at home when he suddenly received a letter signed "Lin Xiaolin". Lin Xiaolin's father was one of the founding marshals, although she herself may not be known, but the content of this letter made Comrade ** very serious.
He immediately called his old friend Hong Xuezhi and asked him to go to Beijing, and there were two things that Hong Xuezhi needed to help.
*Hong Xuezhi was very surprised after receiving ****. Because the old leader has been retired for many years and lives a life of pure cultivation, it is really unexpected to suddenly call.
However, when he heard the two requests made by **, he finally understood the old leader's intentions and agreed to his request. So, why did Lin Xiaolin write a letter to **?
What did she say in the letter? **What kind of two requirements did you put forward for Hong Xuezhi? Lin Xiaolin is the eldest daughter of **, born in 1941, and her mother is **'s first wife Zhang Mei, which is little known.
Liu Xinmin, later known as Zhang Mei, joined the Communist Party of China in 1936 and changed his name to Zhang Mei, and then went to revolutionary Yan'an to study revolutionary theory. She is in the prime of her youth, with excellent academic performance, and is known as "a flower in northern Shaanxi".
Such a wonderful woman has attracted the attention of **. Under the mediation of Dong Biwu, ** and Zhang Mei came together smoothly and entered the palace of marriage in 1937.
However, none of them could have imagined that an accident would suddenly happen and catch them off guard.
In September 1937, the Battle of Pingxingguan in Shanxi broke out, and ** served as the commander-in-chief and led the army to a complete victory, which was in the limelight for a while. However, after the victory, ** put on the Japanese officer's uniform, but was accidentally injured by his own people.
This time the injury was serious, and his wife Zhang Mei received the news in the rear and was shocked. Due to the backward medical conditions in China, Zhang Mei had to accompany her husband to the Soviet Union to receive **.
However, the experience in the Soviet Union during that time has become the past that Zhang Mei does not want to recall.
*and*** Zhang Mei had a son and a daughter in the Soviet Union, but unfortunately the son died soon after. And their daughter is Lin Xiaolin. Although ** loves Lin Xiaolin very much, the lifestyles of the two are becoming more and more incompatible, and the conflict continues to escalate in the end.
However, Zhang Mei chose to endure silently for the sake of her daughter, and the same is true. Before leaving the Soviet Union, he instructed Zhang Mei to let her daughter receive a good education in the Soviet Union so that she could stay with him as a translator in the future.
* After returning to the motherland, he devoted himself to the revolutionary cause. However, Zhang Mei's mother and daughter were tormented by the haze of World War II in their lives in the Soviet Union, and the sound of artillery fire, the roar of planes and the front-line deployment of soldiers made her worry day and night.
Zhang Mei didn't know that at this time, the ** in China already had a new partner-Ye Qun. It wasn't until 1946 that ** went to the Soviet Union for treatment and told Zhang Mei the heart-wrenching news.
Knowing that ** had established a new family, Zhang Mei was in great pain, and the mother and daughter could only rely on each other.
Lin Xiaolin returned to China when she was nine years old, but she was not able to see her father as soon as she was founded after the founding of New China, because her father** was busy commanding the campaign to liberate Hainan.
It wasn't until 1954 that she finally met her father and stepmother Ye Qun. The scene was unforgettable, and when the father saw his daughter return, he excitedly picked her up and kissed her.
Due to living in the Soviet Union for a long time, Lin Xiaolin did not speak much Chinese and could only communicate with his father in Russian.
*'s daughter Lin Xiaolin misses her father very much, but she doesn't know Russian, which makes the atmosphere a little awkward. At this moment, Ye Qun offered to help Lin Xiaolin communicate with her father, after all, she knew Russian herself.
However, Ye Qun was very disgusted with Lin Xiaolin, so when translating, she did not translate Lin Xiaolin's words to **, but fabricated the facts, saying that Lin Xiaolin had learned some Soviet swear words to insult **.
* believed it, so he asked Lin Xiaolin to leave temporarily, saying that she might be crazy. However, Ye Qun, in the name of a translator, gave Lin Xiaolin a severe reprimand, and even scolded her to tears.
The meeting ended in an awkward atmosphere, and both parties parted unhappily.
In order to communicate with his father as soon as possible, Lin Xiaolin studied hard, and completed the six-year course in only three years, becoming the only student in the school to receive the Beijing Scholarship.
She gradually learned about the heroic deeds of her father**, and especially admired his contribution to the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign. However, due to the existence of stepmother Ye Qun, Lin Xiaolin's life was not smooth.
Once, her mother Zhang Mei was working in Shenyang, and in order to make her daughter miss herself, she sent her own **.
Lin Xiaolin took the ** to find his father**, and when he saw his mother on **, **sighed the passage of time and said, "Your mother is also old." After Ye Qun found out, he decided to let Lin Xiaolin stay away.
As a result, Lin Xiaolin was sent to Harbin to learn missile control technology. However, in 1966, due to political reasons, Lin Xiaolin was forced to stand in opposition to his father.
Although she is the daughter of **, she openly opposes the claims of ** and Ye Qun.
After Lin Xiaolin and Ye Qun found out, they immediately wrote an open letter as **, in which they emphasized: "Lin Xiaolin's actions outside do not represent me, I am not responsible for this, and announced that I will sever the father-daughter relationship with her!" ”
Immediately afterwards, she found someone to send Lin Xiaolin to the Malan base in Xinjiang, trying to keep her away from Beijing and say no more. However, when Lin Xiaolin learned the content of the letter, she mistakenly thought that this was her father's intention, so she decided to go toe-to-toe with her father and publicly announced the severance of the father-daughter relationship.
Although she said that she wanted to break off the relationship, Lin Xiaolin's heart was full of pain, because although she didn't spend much time with her father, this father-daughter relationship was difficult to give up.
In 1967, the blow of a car accident changed the trajectory of Lin Xiaolin's life. Injured in a car accident, she had to travel to Beijing to receive **. However, Ye Qun's obstruction prevented her from doing so, so she could only go secretly.
However, the secret operation was still revealed by Ye **, and she was forcibly sent to Chongqing. During this difficult period, Lin Xiaolin was lucky to meet a cadre, who accompanied her through difficult times, and finally, the two entered the palace of marriage.
Lin Xiaolin and his wife raise pigs in Yunnan farms, although life is hard, they help each other, and their lives are full of happiness. However, this peaceful life did not last long, as an incident brought them back to the forefront.
This incident is ** died on September 13, 1971, and Lin Xiaolin is extremely sad about it. The father in her heart was a commander in battles such as the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign, and he was a great hero, although he made some mistakes, he could not cover up his exploits.
* The family was treated unfairly, and Lin Xiaolin was innocently framed. Everyone blamed her for the mistake and made her responsible for **. Some people even wantonly slandered her children, which made people angry.
In the face of accusations, Lin Xiaolin said firmly: "I didn't get any benefits when my father was alive, and now that he is gone, why should I bear the mistake and implicate innocent children?" ”
Someone asked her to slander **, but she said: "I haven't seen my father for many years, and I don't know much about him." Lin Xiaolin endured humiliation in Yunnan, and it was not until 1977 that she was rehabilitated and returned to Beijing.
Lin Xiaolin wrote to **, recalling what he saw and heard in Beijing. Although his father has passed away, he still has a deeper understanding of the events of that year and clears up the misunderstanding with his father.
Although his father had made mistakes, Lin Xiaolin remembered more about the good times he spent with his father. Therefore, he decided to go to Henan, hoping to reconcile with his sister.
However, when Lin Xiaolin appeared at Lin Doudou's workplace with a generous gift, she felt a little overwhelmed, thinking that her sister was here to target her. Despite this, Lin Xiaolin still firmly expressed his willingness to reconcile to his sister.
Lin Xiaolin said to Lin Doudou: "I am your sister, I came here to see you and take you back to Beijing." I know that you have gone through many difficulties over the years, and I feel the same way.
We are a family, let the past pass. Lin Xiaolin's generosity touched Lin Doudou, she actually suffered a lot, but because her parents had died, there was no one to confide in.
Although Lin Xiaolin is not her biological mother, they are sisters and have lived together before, and the emotional foundation between sisters is still there. Therefore, when Lin Xiaolin took the initiative to show goodwill, Lin Doudou let down the guard in his heart, and the misunderstanding of many years was easily resolved.
Lin Liheng has a deep sisterhood, although he failed to bring Lin Doudou back to Beijing this time, the estrangement between the two has been eliminated and they have become close sisters since then. In 1988, Lin Doudou was finally notified by the state that she could return to Beijing to work, and this news made her heart extremely happy.
After learning the news, she told her sister Lin Xiaolin as soon as possible. Since then, Lin Doudou has lived in Lin Xiaolin's home. Lin Xiaolin often thinks that if his father is still alive, he will definitely show a relieved smile when he learns about this!
Lin Xiaolin studied history at home and found a fact that surprised her: after the reform and opening up, my country wrote war histories for the major field armies, but the four fields led by ** did not move.
You must know that Siye made great contributions in the Liberation War, and during the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign, it was Siye's outstanding performance that brought about the victory of the war, and Siye has always been a symbol of legend.
Lin Xiaolin found that although the research on the Liaoshen Campaign and the Pingjin Campaign was extensive, no special memorial hall was established for this historical event. This situation is distressing, so Lin Xiaolin decided to report this problem to the organization and hoped that ** could help solve it.
* Comrades have rich experience in the Liberation War and a deep emotional foundation, cooperate with the comrades of the four fields, can provide detailed campaign help, and have an advanced view of history, and have a deep love for historical research.
Lin Xiaolin immediately wrote a letter to **, inviting him to participate in the compilation of this military history. ** Long retired, but full of interest in this matter. After reading Lin Xiaolin's letter, he believed that the merits and demerits should be viewed separately, and his role in the Liberation War should not be ignored because of personal reasons.
Therefore, it was decided to participate in the compilation of this military history with an objective eye.
* Hong Xuezhi was invited to come to Beijing from Shanghai, and the two wanted to talk face-to-face about the Military History Memorial Hall. **The reason why I looked for Hong Xuezhi is because he served as the commander of the Six Columns of the Four Fields, this unit is one of the strongest troops in the Four Fields, and has participated in the Liaoshen Campaign, the Pingjin Campaign and the Hainan Island Campaign, Hong Xuezhi has an in-depth understanding of the history of the Four Fields.
Hong Xuezhi was confused after receiving **, and when he came to Beijing, he understood the true intention of **.
Emphasized: "At present, the military history of the second field has been published, and the first field and the third field are about to be completed, but the military history of the fourth field has not yet begun, so I will hand over this task to Hong Xuezhi."
We should follow the principle of seeking truth from facts and complete this work as soon as possible. Hong Xuezhi expressed some worries about this task, thinking that his ability was limited, and he was worried that he would not be able to write an excellent history of the Four Fields Army.
* comforted him: "I have reported your request to the Military Commission and am waiting for their reply." If the CMC agrees, I'll act as the general counsel so you have more support. ”
He also emphasized: "Now that many of the old comrades of Siye are no longer there, if we delay any longer, how can we write works that conform to history?" This is not only irresponsible to history, but also irresponsible to the people. ”
* In June of that year, his application was approved, and Hong Xuezhi accepted the important task of compiling the history of the Four Fields Army. After Hong Xuezhi took over this task, he said happily: "We must do this well, I'm still waiting to see!" ”
Hearing this news, the other old comrades of the four fields were overjoyed, and they used their own way to recall the four fields in their hearts and show those revolutionary years in their entirety.
In addition to the compilation of military history, ** also asked Hong Xuezhi to establish a memorial hall, which was also his second task to find Hong Xuezhi.
The Pingjin Campaign is one of the three major battles, which has an important position in the history of New China, and in order to remember this history, it is of great significance to establish the Pingjin Campaign Memorial Hall.
However, regarding the location of the memorial hall, Hong Xuezhi and ** have different views. Hong Xuezhi advocated that the memorial hall should be built in Beijing, because he believed that Beijing, as the capital of our country and the main battlefield of the Pingjin Campaign, had a unique geographical advantage.
However, ** disagreed, arguing that there were too many existing memorials in Beijing, and that if a memorial was built in such a place, it might make the Pingjin Battle seem too ordinary.
He suggested that the memorial hall should be built in Tianjin, because Tianjin is a symbol of the peaceful liberation that our soldiers exchanged their lives for, and there are more martyrs who fought here.
1.Lin Xiaolin was very happy because the two requirements in his letter had been agreed to by the leadership. His friend Hong Xuezhi was assigned to take charge of these two things, which made his worries resolved.
2.Lin Xiaolin felt very moved, because his two important wishes had been fulfilled: in 1997, the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall was built in Tianjin; In 1998, the history of the four field wars was successfully released.
These made him and the old comrades of Siye very happy.
* Although Comrade has passed away, his spirit and contributions will be forever recorded in history, and through the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall, we can have a deeper understanding of those war years and the heroic soldiers.
In her later years, Lin Xiaolin lived in seclusion, devoted herself to studying that period of history, and found time to spend with her mother, and her contributions are also worthy of our respect.
In 2014, Ms. Lin Xiaolin also participated in the commemoration of the Battle of Xiangjiang. Although there have only been a handful of public appearances in recent years, we will remember her contributions to the country and the ups and downs of half her life.
Revolutionary history needs to be inherited, and the exploits of martyrs will forever be recorded in the annals of history! Let us cherish the memory of the martyrs, remember the history, and work hard to create a better future!
