In 2019, an elderly man from afar wept bitterly in the Luohe Martyrs Cemetery in Henan Province, wiping the tombstone of the martyr Jing Baoling with a handkerchief. The old man was overly emotional, and finally calmed down with the comfort of his family.
But his tears couldn't be stopped, and his voice trembled and said, "Sister, I finally found you, it's been 64 years, don't blame me for coming too late." The old man's name is Jing Baolong, who is in his 70s, and because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he usually needs to rely on crutches to walk.
He and his sister have an extremely deep relationship, and his sister's sacrifice made him unacceptable, and he didn't even want to face the reality, even his father cried blind because of this, and his mother died with regret.
So, why did Jing Baolong be separated from his sister for many years? What happened to Jing Baoling that Jing Baolong only learned about her burial place after 64 years? In order to join the army, Jing Baoling said goodbye to her family, in 1950 she was 18 years old, an outstanding student at the Military Medical University, her parents were proud of her, and her younger brother also regarded her as a role model.
They look forward to her becoming an excellent healthcare worker after graduation. However, this year, she made the decision to join the army. Although her parents had always supported her idea, they were reluctant to hear that their daughter was going to join the army.
Because they believe that girls should live their lives in peace, and military life is full of hardships and dangers.
With great ambitions and a desire to contribute to the country, Jing Baoling decided to hide from her parents and join the army. On the day she left home, she took her younger brother to a nearby store to buy a bag of peanuts.
The younger brother happily ate the snack, and picked up a peanut with his chubby little hand and handed it to Jing Baoling. Looking at her well-behaved and ignorant brother, Jing Baoling's heart was full of reluctance.
Because her parents are busy with work, her younger brother was mainly raised by her, and her younger brother likes her more than his parents. In the eyes of her younger brother, Jing Baoling is omnipotent, the school ranks high, she takes care of everything at home, and she is good at solving problems and cooking.
The neighbors also like Jing Baoling, she is polite, quiet and lovely, and always shows a sweet smile. Jing Baoling was able to be admitted to university without the strong help of her parents.
The idea that girls were useless was so prevalent that many families would invest all their money in boys' education rather than girls.
However, Jing Baoling's parents are different from others, they treat Jing Baoling and her younger brother equally, and have always supported her in her education. Jing Baoling and her younger brother are 11 years apart, but she loves her brother very much, and when she sees delicious food and fun, she will bring her brother to share it.
The younger brother is also very dependent on her, and whenever she comes home, the younger brother clings to her like a little heel. When Jing Baoling was going to study at Southwest Military Medical University, her younger brother was even more reluctant to let her leave than her parents, and kept holding her hand and begging her in a soft and glutinous voice: "Sister, can you take me to study?" ”
Jing Baoling couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she touched her brother's face, comforted him and said, "You obediently listen to your parents at home, and when I come home from vacation, I will definitely bring you something delicious." ”
The younger brother finally let go of his hand and watched his sister gradually move away, until his sister's figure disappeared at the end of the road, and Jing Baolong kept waving his hand goodbye. Thinking back on all this, Jing Baoling understood that she was going to leave home for a long time.
She squatted down, hugged Jing Baolong, and said solemnly: "You must study hard, you are already a big child." After arranging her younger brother, Jing Baoling asked her younger brother to go home first, saying that she still had some things to deal with.
Jing Baolong didn't know his sister's real plans, he said while eating peanuts: "Sister, you go home early after you finish handling things, and your mother will make us something to eat in the evening." ”
Looking at her younger brother's cheerful departure, Jing Baoling silently turned around and began her military journey.
You're such a gluttonous cat, why didn't my sister come back with you? Jing Baolong explained that his sister had other things to deal with, and he was eating snacks while waiting for his parents to prepare dinner.
When night fell, a sumptuous dinner was ready, but the parents waited left and right, and they didn't see Jing Baoling. Worried that something was wrong with their daughter, they invited friends and family to look for her.
After a few days, they still did not hear from Jing Baoling, and at this time, they received a letter from the army. Jing Baoling didn't dare to write to her parents until the army settled down, she thought, something had happened, and her parents definitely didn't know what to do.
Since their parents were illiterate, they hired a literate neighbor to read the letter for them.
The daughter expressed her determination to her parents in a letter to become a soldier and give her parents peace of mind. Although parents may be a little worried about their daughter's farewell, the excellent ** chief understands her daughter's dream and helps her write a letter to show support.
With the understanding of her parents, the daughter did not have any worries and took care of the wounded wholeheartedly, and her gentleness, kindness and seriousness won everyone's love.
Jing Baolong was looking forward to his sister's return day and night, but only received a letter from his sister. One day, however, he was overjoyed to learn in his sister's letter that she could return home to visit her family, and he immediately told his parents the good news.
A few days before his sister was about to return home, Jing Baolong was so excited that he couldn't sleep, he had a lot to say to his sister, wanting to know about her life in the army and whether she was healthy.
When they met again, Jing Baolong couldn't wait to ask his sister all kinds of questions, Jing Baoling smiled and touched her brother's head, and said, "Baolong, you have asked too many questions, I don't know how to answer." ”
Jing Baolong scratched his head and replied, "Sister, I think you think you are terrible, that's why you asked so many questions." ”
As soon as he got home, Jing Baolong pulled his sister to a chair, poured a glass of water intimately, and took out a pre-bought snack to fill his sister's stomach. The parents were so happy to see that their daughter was more mature than before, and her eyes were brighter.
During the meal, the family served vegetables for Jing Baoling, but her bowls were piled up into a small mountain, and she almost ate it. At the dinner table, Jing Baoling told her parents that she had become a ** leader, and she was at the level of a platoon leader.
The parents' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they praised them repeatedly: "Lingling, you are amazing, we are proud of you." Baolong, you have to learn more from your sister. Jing Baolong nodded again and again, promising in front of his parents and sister: "I will definitely study hard and contribute to the country like my sister in the future." ”
Image source network: The sister and brother took a walk after dinner to eat, the sister and brother chatted, and the sister told the younger brother that she had a boyfriend. The younger brother is very curious about his sister's boyfriend and keeps asking.
The sister generously replied, "When he has time, I will take him home, and your family can take a good look." My sister and boyfriend met in the hospital, and as soon as she saw Zhang Hui, who was a talent, she was deeply attracted by his charm.
Zhang Hui was injured in the battle and needed **, and his sister happened to be in charge of taking care of him. When changing the dressing, they would chat a few words, and my sister found out that Zhang Hui was a few months younger than herself.
As the exchange increased, they became good friends who talked about everything. They talked about their ideals and the future together, and they also ignited the spark of love in getting along day after day, and eventually became lovers.
1.Zhang Hui**, ready to return to work, in order to maintain the stability of the relationship, they decided to use letters to contact. The two cherish this relationship very much, and they hope that this relationship will last for a long time.
Despite the separation, the long-distance relationship did not estranged them. They used letters to convey their feelings of longing, and at the same time, they also agreed to enter the palace of marriage immediately after the end of the war and create a warm little home together.
2.Jing Baoling returned to work after recovery, and in order to reassure her family, she decided to tell her parents in the letter that she would take her boyfriend home, and attached a photo of her own **.
This ** was carefully preserved by the Jing family, and even after moving many times, it will always be carried with you. After his parents passed away one after another, Jing Baolong always put his sister's ** in his wallet, and whenever he missed his sister, he would take out his ** and stare at it for a long time.
A **, carrying all Jing Baoling's thoughts about her family, has also become the only sustenance for her family to miss her. Fortunately, Jing Baoling's boyfriend Zhang Hui is very considerate of his family, and often comes to visit Jing Baoling's parents with gifts and has won their approval.
Jing Baolong also likes Zhang Hui very much, and always looks forward to him coming to share his sister's life with him. If Jing Baoling hadn't sacrificed, maybe she would be living a happy life with Zhang Hui now, being called a sister by her dear brother, and still being filial to her parents.
In the face of changes in life, we are often caught off guard. Jing Baoling was transferred to Henan because of work. So, did she die in Henan? After 64 years of searching, Jing Baolong finally found his sister in the martyr's cemetery.
His mood was so complicated that he cried loudly in the cemetery. But he understood that the work needed to be kept secret, so he only informed his family and boyfriend in a letter that he might have to work in other places for a while, without saying where he worked, let alone the specifics of the work.
Zhang Hui made a marriage report to his superiors, and the leader knew that he had a beautiful and capable girlfriend and supported him to marry Jing Baoling. However, the ruthlessness of fate made Jing Baoling die heroically in the process of carrying out tasks in Henan.
In 1955, the Jing family learned of the bad news, and the family of three washed their faces with tears all day long. Jing Baolong grew up overnight, and he knew that he had to support the whole family and take over the burden from his sister.
The father shed too many sad tears because he missed his daughter, resulting in damage to his eyes and no longer able to see the light; The mother's health deteriorated day by day due to her grief and depression. When Zhang Hui learned of the sacrifice of his beloved, he felt that the world had collapsed in an instant, and he was only one step away from getting married to the girl he loved the most, but everything was over.
He is determined to find Jing Baoling's whereabouts, comforts Jing's father and mother, and vows to inform them as soon as he finds Jing Baoling's tombstone. Jing Baolong and his parents are also looking for Jing Baoling, but due to the poverty of the family, they do not have much money to inquire about the news.
Jing Baolong gradually became rich through hard work, so that he had enough time and financial resources to track down his sister's whereabouts. In the process, he met a kind wife and married her and had children.
At home, he would often tell the children about his sister's heroic deeds, so that they would always remember this brave aunt. Zhang Hui found Jing Baoling's tombstone before the Jing family, and he specially wrote a letter to inform the Jing family's sister of the news, but because the Jing family moved many times, the letter was not delivered.
But Jing Baolong got the news of his sister through the circle of friends released by his son Jing Feng, and the content was roughly a tribute to his dear aunt.
Look, is this my aunt? Jing Baolong read the article carefully and found that many details matched his sister's description, so they contacted Henan**. After arriving at the cemetery, the staff warmly received them and took them to the lounge to wait, because they wanted to provide Jing Baoling's information for the Jing family for verification.
After Jing Baolong carefully checked, the emotion in his moist eyes could no longer be concealed, and he told the staff: "This is my sister's tomb." Seeing his sister's tombstone, Jing Baolong fell to his knees and let the emotions he had suppressed for many years gush out.
The staff waited quietly on the sidelines, and when Jing Baolong had finished paying his respects, they told him that a man named Zhang Hui often came to the cemetery to visit Jing Baoling, sometimes even sitting all afternoon.
Jing Baolong contacted Zhang Hui with the help of the staff, and the two greeted each other, Zhang Hui said in **: "I finally fulfilled my wish for many years, and you finally found Baoling." ”
The cruelty of war is that it takes lives, and once they are gone, there is no chance of resurrection. At the age of 23, it was the prime of youth, but Jing Baoling left us forever.
However, the family's efforts to find her never stopped, and after 64 years of searching, Jing Baolong was finally able to pay tribute to his sister in the martyrs' cemetery, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of their heart's greatest wish.
