The bravery of the open battlefield is often reflected in the moment of sword and sword, life and death struggle. However, Li Kenong was on an invisible front, fighting a silent contest with the enemy with wisdom and courage.
Li Kenong always adhered to the revolutionary belief and contributed his strength to the revolutionary cause, and he did not show off his exploits, nor did he complain about his predicament.
In Li Kenong's most difficult moment, Yang Shangkun gave him great support and encouragement. In 1989, when Yang Shangkun saw Li Kenong's descendants, he quipped:"I've been a filial son to your Li family three times. ”
Why did Yang Shangkun say that? What exactly happened?
Although Li Kenong was born in an ordinary place, Li Kenong's father, Li Zheqing, sent him to a private school very early. Because of his intelligence and studiousness, he soon showed extraordinary talent and sharp thinking.
Li Kenong made many like-minded friends in the school, and they worked together on national affairs and gradually came into contact with revolutionary ideas.
One day, Li Zheqing and Li Kenong were walking home together when he suddenly asked about his son's ambitions. Li Kenong replied:"Father, I want to make my own contribution to the country. ”
Li Zheqing was very happy after hearing this, and he encouraged his son to pursue his ideals bravely and not be bound by the world's vision. Under the influence of Li Zheqing, Li Kenong gradually grew into a responsible and thoughtful person.
In September 1917, a unique wedding was held in Wuhu City. Li Kenong and Zhao Ying matched the two families and facilitated the marriage.
After the wedding, Li Kenong and Zhao Ying read books together and discussed various issues together. Zhao Ying's views are novel and profound, and her views on society and politics have opened Li Kenong's eyes.
One night, the two sat opposite each other under the moonlight in the courtyard, and Li Kenong said to Zhao Ying: "I thought you were just a person who knew etiquette and filial piety, but today I realized that it was more than that." ”
Zhao Ying looked at Li Kenong, smiled slightly, and replied
"I'm not the woman you think I am. I was exposed to new ideas from a young age, I understood the importance of equality between men and women, and I longed to live freely and equally. ”
In 1926, Li Kenong officially joined the Communist Party of China, actively organized and mobilized the masses, and injected new vitality into the revolutionary cause.
One night, everyone sat around the campfire, and the comrades asked Li Kenong: "Why did you choose this road?" ”
Li Kenong smiled and replied:"For our country, for our nation. I believe that by working hard, we will make our country stronger. ”
However, at the beginning of his revolutionary journey, he was faced with a serious problem - a serious shortage of funds. After learning about the funding problem,Zhao Ying took out a delicate gold bracelet from the jewelry box, which was one of her dowry items
Kernon, this is my dowry, and I want to take it as a ......Zhao Ying whispered to him.
These dowries are left to you by your parents, and you can't do that. Li Kenong said distressedly.
Zhao Ying said softly"I know the significance of these items, but I know you're in a great business. All I can do is support you silently. ”
Thank you, thank you so much ......Li Kenong held Zhao Ying's hand tightly and said gratefully.
In 1927, the whole country was in a state of gloom. Li Kenong's situation is becoming more and more dangerous, and the Kuomintang ** is closely monitored near his residence every day. Zhao Ying looked at her husband's face tormented by fear and anxiety, and her heart was like a knife.
Zhao Ying quietly contacted the comrades of the underground organization to discuss countermeasures. They decided to use Li Kenong's identity and status to create an "accident" and successfully send him out of the city.
After Li Kenong left, his home was raided, and the home that was once full of laughter and laughter is now empty.
It wasn't until 1930 that the lives of Zhao Ying and her children ushered in a turning point. Li Kenong returned to them, bringing new hope and opportunity to start a new life.
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was in full swing, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party joined forces to fight against the Japanese army. In order to prevent Li Kenong's parents from being treated as "bandits", Li Kenong took them to Shanxi and took care of them.
Li Kenong is a dutiful son, he has always been very concerned about the lives of his parents, and often sends them food and medicine. When I am not busy, I often chat with my parents to understand their living situation and help them solve the difficulties in life.
Li Kenong's parents lived a stable life in Shanxi, and they gradually adapted to life here.
However, the good times did not last long, and in 1946, Li Kenong was ordered to be sent to Yan'an to bid farewell to his parents. As he left, his mother took his hand and said with tears in her eyes"Son, you have to take care of your health, you must come back! ”
Shortly after Li Kenong left,News came from Shanxi that his mother had died suddenly. Hearing this news, Li Kenong's heart was like a knife, but he couldn't do without being entangled in official business.
It happened that Yang Shangkun was in Shanxi, and the news of Li Kenong's mother died made his heart full of sadness. He knew that Li Kenong was too busy with work to go back to his mother's funeral in person, so he thought about holding a simple funeral for Li Kenong's mother.
On the day of the funeral, Yang Shangkun came to the scene early to help, and after the funeral, Yang Shangkun and Li Kenong's family cleaned up the scene together.
Li Kenong's mother died, but he couldn't go back to fulfill his filial piety, which is also a big regret for him, and Li Kenong's gratitude to Yang Shangkun is also beyond words.
On the night after the liberation of the country, the lights were on, the night was like ink, and in the office, the lights reflected on Li Kenong's haggard but resolute face. He served as an important leader in several departments, and there were many things to deal with every day, and he was exhausted by the heavy workload, but he never let up in the slightest.
Kernon, is it going to be too late tonight? Zhao Ying said softly, and she handed a cup of hot tea to Li Kenong's hand. "Yes, there are still a lot of documents and materials to deal with. ”It was late at night, the lights in the office were still on, and Li Kenong was still busy.
The outbreak of the Korean War made the situation tense. "Kenon, you are an outstanding representative of our party's hidden front and rich experience in the struggle against the enemy, so the task of this negotiation will be entrusted to you. *Said solemnly.
Li Kenong bowed deeply to the chairman and replied firmly:"President, I will live up to the trust placed on me and do my best for the peace talks. ”
In the process of negotiation, Li Kenong is good at listening, observing and analyzing. He is able to capture the true intentions and psychological changes of the other person from the words and actions of the other person. As expected, the negotiations lasted for a long time without results, resulting in a stalemate there for Li Kenong.
In August 1952, Li Kenong received a letter from his wife, and before he could read the content, he burst into tearsFather, died, came home.
**After learning about this incident, he immediately called General Wu Xiuquan: "Now I have a tricky matter to hand over to you, you already know Kenong's family affairs, so I want to send you to replace him back." ”
No problem, Chairman, don't worry, I'll go and replace him. ”
General Wu Xiuquan came to Li Kenong's residence and conveyed to him the chairman's instructions. Li Kenong was silent for a long time before he slowly raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes. He glanced at Wu Xiuquan deeply, and then shook his head.
"General Wu, I appreciate your kindness. But at this time, you can't change players on the spot. We've just made some progress, and I can't let my personal grief affect the whole team. ”Li Kenong's voice was firm and powerful.
So, what are you going to do? Wu Xiuquan asked.
Li Kenong took a deep breath and replied
"I'm going to bury my grief in my heart, and I'm going to put all my energy into my work. I want my father to see that his son is not only a filial person, but also a responsible and responsible warrior. ”On the day of the funeral, there was a drizzle in the sky and a sad atmosphere in the airIt was Yang Shangkun who came forward to help Li Kenong deal with related matters.
Li Kenong's body has become extremely fragile, his once tough steps have become heavy, and his once smile has become tired and old. All these changes originated from his trip to North Korea.
He often woke up in the middle of the night, sweating through his sheets and wheezing in his lungs. He looked at the moonlight outside the window, and his heart was full of helplessness and pain.
Zhao Ying always sat quietly on the edge of Li Kenong's bed, gently holding his hand, cooking him a bowl of hot noodle soup or massaging his stiff limbs when he woke up.
Kenon, you have to be strong, I will always be by your side. Zhao Ying said softly.
Li Kenong nodded slightly, she took care of him day and night, wiping his sweat, feeding medicine, and changing clothes. Li Kenong's body gradually became **, and his face slowly became ruddy.
Thank you for always being there for me. Li Kenong said gratefully.
This is what I should do, and I'm happy to see you recover. ”
In the process, the relationship between them also became deeper, they supported and cared for each other, and became the most important person in each other's lives.
It was a rainy day in 1960Zhao Ying learned that she had cancer in the hospital's examination report。She sat in a hospital chair, clutching the report in her hand, her eyes full of helplessness and helplessness.
After Li Kenong learned about it, he stayed by Zhao Ying's side for the rest of the time except for handling work: "Do you know? The happiest thing in my life is to be with you. ”
Li Kenong looked at his wife, his eyes were full of tenderness, "No matter life or death, I will be by your side." ”
However, the impermanence of fate is unpredictable. Just when Zhao Ying's condition deteriorated, Li Kenong received an urgent task. He had to leave the hospital on a confidential mission, and he held his wife's hand tightly: "Wait for me to come back." Zhao Ying nodded, without tears or complaints.
A few days later, Zhao Ying left this world quietly in a hospital bed. There was a smile on her lips, as if to tell everyone:She has fulfilled her mission and left the hope of life to others.
When Li Kenong rushed back to the hospital after his mission, he only saw the portrait of his wife, and he stood there at a loss, tears streaming down his face.
Li Kenong's body has not fully recovered, and with the blow this time, his body can no longer withstand it. The appearance of Yang Shangkun brought him a ray of hope.
"I know you're not in good shape right now, and I'm here to help you with this. Yang Shangkun took the initiative to propose.
So, Yang Shangkun began to organize the funeral. He contacted the relevant departments to arrange the time and place of the ceremony, ensuring the smooth running of the funeral. At that moment, Li Kenong deeply felt the power of friendship and mutual assistance.
Although Li Kenong's body was weak, his heart was full of gratitude:"Thank you for helping me again, I don't really know what to say......”
After Zhao Ying's death, the house of the two still maintained the previous decoration style, and the room was silent, only Li Kenong's sigh echoed in the air.
He closed his eyes, as if he could see Zhao Ying by his side, they shared the joys, sorrows and sorrows of life together, and spent every ordinary day together.
On February 9, 1962, Li Kenong died in Beijing. When his friend died, Yang Shangkun was extremely sad, so he was decadent for a long time. One day in 1989, Yang Shangkun happened to meet Li Kenong's descendants, and recalled the time with his friends, he quipped:"I have been a filial son to your Li family three times. ”
Li Kenong's life was full of hardships and hardships, but he never bowed to fate. With his courage and wisdom, he overcame all the difficulties and challenges in life.
Li Kenong's life is like an epic full of legends, and each of his stories is full of passion and power. Although he did not carry a gun to fight on the front line, he fought the enemy every minute. He is our hero, he is our role model.
