He Pengfei, deputy commander of the Air Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, passed away on 28 March 21, and at the farewell ceremony for his remains, the wife of the ** marshal, that is, He Pengfei's mother, Xue Ming, was mourned.
Xue Ming is eighty-five years old this year and his body is weak, but he still insists on seeing his children off. She knelt next to He Pengfei's corpse, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and she kept muttering this sentence in her mouth, which moved everyone.
Xue Ming's life can be described as infinitely beautiful. With titles such as "Marshal's Wife" and "General's Mother", she has been very beautiful in her career. But from the standpoint of the family, she lost her husband in middle age and lost her son in old age, this kind of life experience, as a woman, is really unfortunate.
On August 1, 1942, the first anniversary of the Nanchang riots, ** married Xue Ming. On this day, Yan'an was full of joy and laughter. At the simple wedding, ** was afraid that drinking alcohol would not be good for the stomach, so Xue Ming drank all the wine at the wedding for him one after another. In Ren Bishi's words: "This Xue Ming is really powerful, he has only been dating for a short time, and he is so good to you!" Lao He, you have to remember that Xue Ming is your best shield! Ren Bishi was right, Xue Ming's arrival gave ** the greatest happiness in his life. You know, when they got married, ** forty-two, Xue Ming twenty-two.
Their first child was born on September 28, 1944. But ** was busy ahead, and he couldn't spare time to return to Yan'an for a meeting. In the Mid-Autumn Festival of 1945, his wife Xue Ming stayed in Liupu with the child, in order to make the first person feel at ease to lead the troops to fight, she endured the pain, held the child in her arms, and waited for the arrival of the brigade at the head of the village. At that time, ** saw his wife and children, and he was moved without saying a word. In the years of mutual support, Xue Ming has never complained about the busy **.
But when the turbulent years of 1966 came, the He family became the epicenter of the disaster. ** became the target of everyone's shouting, and Xue Ming was regarded as a target because he knew something about Ye Qun. ** was confiscated on January 17, 1967, although he was sent to the suburbs of Beijing to take refuge, but he still could not get rid of the shadow of being **. There are difficulties and unpleasantness in all aspects of life. Despite this, Xue Ming still followed ** inch by his side. In the past, their caretakers always made excuses for the lack of water, only one can a day was distributed, and their daily lives depended on rainfall.
Xue Ming felt very uncomfortable, his husband had diabetes and was dying of thirst every day. In those difficult years, Xue Ming ignored his pain and didn't want to let ** worry more. Maybe they thought the difficulties would end, but they became weaker.
On June 9, 1969, due to the request of some organizations, the doctors insisted on sending ** to the hospital for treatment, and Xue Ming was not allowed to accompany him. Before leaving, the two leaders shook hands with each other, but only six hours later, ** passed away.
Xue Ming was very guilty: "At the beginning, why couldn't I stay by his side, the ups and downs of life, we have all come all the way, why can't I appear next to him at the last moment of my life?" However, ** felt that he was the luckiest in his life, because his departure left an indelible scar on Xue Ming.
Those who are familiar with Xue Ming know that in this turmoil, she is the most painful one. Not only the couple, but even their children He Pengfei did not escape this catastrophe, and a few years later, they took their own lives.
In 1962, He Pengfei should have been recommended to work in the Kazakh military industry, but due to Mr. **'s resolute request, he was admitted to Tsinghua University by his own diligence. However, all that changed two years later in the turmoil, and he, along with his compatriots, was subjected to **.
At the most difficult time, He Pengfei handed over his little sister to Liao Chengzhi to take care of, and escaped from Beijing with his eldest sister, and they went to the freighter to do rough work in the heavy rain. He Pengfei's hard work has been recognized and respected by the crew.
Although the Prime Minister later spotted them and brought them back to school, the siblings were forced into a juvenile detention centre and lived a difficult life. He Pengfei started from the bottom and hid his identity until 1972, when he and his mother Xue Ming finally returned to their hometown.
It is conceivable that after Xue Ming's death, he put all his hopes on He Pengfei, an already excellent child. However, God still refused to let the family have a good time, and they were unlucky again and again.
He Pengfei became the youngest general in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and after several years of hard training, he no longer had the strong body that his father gave him. Even so, he focused on developing China's navy.
He Pengfei, 56, died suddenly of cardiac arrest on March 28, 2001, at the age of 56. Xue Ming kept shouting the words "Why did you abandon me", which moved everyone.
