In the last moments before his death, the marshal still remembered to find Xiao Yedan's descendants. This is a wish that he has not been able to fulfill, and it is also the biggest regret in his heart.
It wasn't until 1995 that Li Tieying, a member of the Politburo, found information related to Xiao Yedan and his descendants in his daily newspaper browsing. Li Tieying was greatly surprised by this information, and he immediately arranged for someone to verify the authenticity of the information, hoping to fulfill Marshal ***'s last wish.
After some investigation, there is finally exciting news: Xiao Yedan's descendants are indeed studying in Liangshan, Sichuan. Li Tieying immediately told the good news to Liu Taixing, the descendant of ***, and carefully prepared three tables of sumptuous banquets in the Great Hall of the People, waiting for the arrival of Xiao Yedan's descendants.
Knowing that Xiao Yedan's descendants were living in poverty and living in difficulty, Li Tieying and Liu Taixing immediately made a request to their superiors, hoping to help them study and live in Beijing.
When Liu Taixing saw Xiao Yedan's descendants, he was very excited, because this finally fulfilled his father's last wish before his death. **I have personally gone to Liangshan, Sichuan many times to find the descendants of Xiaoye Dan, but there has been no result.
So who is Xiao Ye Dan? What was his relationship with *** during his lifetime? Why are you so persistent in finding Xiao Yedan's descendants?
The Red Army is facing a severe test of the Dadu River, and the old friendship between the two of them is particularly precious at this time. After successfully crossing the Jinsha River through many difficulties and dangers, the Red Army came to the bank of the Dadu River and faced the dilemma of being flanked from front to back.
Not only did they have to find a way to cross the river, but they also had to evade the pursuit of the Kuomintang. Chiang Kai-shek, seeing the predicament of the Red Army, decided to attack the Red Army's morale with psychological tactics, and sent his subordinates to distribute leaflets and pictorials in a vain attempt to shake the confidence of the Red Army.
He claimed that Shi Dakai was captured by the Qing army in front of the Dadu River, suggesting that the Red Army would face the same fate and be rounded up by the Kuomintang army. However, the Red Army, with firm conviction and fearless courage, was determined to overcome the difficulties, triumphantly cross the Dadu River and move on.
There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. A local villager surnamed Song told Shi Dakai that it was because he did not get help from the Yi tribe that he lost the battle on the Dadu River.
So, if you want to leave this place successfully, you must find the help of the tribe's patriarch.
The tribal culture of the primeval jungle has always fascinated people's imagination, and their unique face painting seems to be their symbol. In Liangshan, Sichuan, there is a large Yi tribe who adhere to the rules of their ancestors and never associate with the Han people of the Central Plains.
They are united, brave and good at fighting, and will not tolerate any foreign aggression. Although he is also from Sichuan, he is not familiar with the language and residence of the Yi tribe.
In an emergency, he could only order part of the Red Army to go deep into the mountains to investigate the situation and find the head of the Yi tribe. However, to the surprise of the Red Army troops, those tribesmen were elusive, refused to approach no matter how they shouted, and even secretly attacked the Red Army soldiers in hiding places.
Xiao Yedan, the leader of a Yi tribe, received a report from his subordinates that an unfamiliar party had entered their territory. He was horrified, and did not know whether this force was friend or foe.
In order to clarify the situation, he sent a subordinate who knew Chinese to negotiate with the team. After talking, he learned that this team was the Red Army, and he was relieved.
Although the people in the neighborhood said that the Red Army was a friend of the people and never did anything to harm the people, Xiao Yedan, as a tribal leader, shouldered the great responsibility of leading the entire tribe, and he could not make decisions easily.
His subordinates kept persuading him, hoping that he could help these Han Red Army. After all, since the Red Army entered the mountains, not a single civilian population has been plundered. The Red Army was very different from those bandit warlords.
Xiao Yedan is widely praised among the tribe for his openness, bravery, and intelligence, and has won the trust of the people. After listening to other people's suggestions and seeing the facts in front of him, Xiao Yedan decided to meet *** in person
If the Red Army is really an excellent army that cares about the people, he is willing to lend a helping hand to help them through difficulties. A blood alliance, willing to make sacrifices in order to fulfill his oath.
When Xiao Ye Dan saw ***, he was surprised. The leader of the Red Army was completely devoid of bureaucratic habits and showed great friendliness. According to the Chinese-speaking tribesman, winning the trust of the Yi tribe usually requires becoming brothers with the leader and taking a vow never to betray.
After talking with ***, **'s lofty ideals and cordial attitude deeply touched Xiao Yedan. Both sides respect each other, and each sees the other as a righteous man worthy of admiration.
** took the initiative to ask for worship, and his pride and ambition deeply moved Xiao Yedan. The two swore an oath by the lake, and Xiao Yedan also warmly entertained the Red Army soldiers who had gone through hardships.
The people of the Yi tribe and the local people were amazed by the heroism and righteousness of the Red Army, and they finally understood that the Red Army was very different from those warlords. In order to thank Xiao Ye Dan for his help, ** gave him a red flag to become a special token between them.
Xiao Ye Dan cherished this token very much and vowed to protect it with his life. With his help, the tribesmen worked together to cover the Red Army safely through the dangerous situation and shattered the illusions of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned of this, he was furious and sent people to snatch the token banner and arrest the tribesmen who helped the Red Army.
In the process of defending the clan and guarding the tokens, Xiao Yedan died bravely at the age of 48. Since then, Xiao Yedan's wife and children have left their hometown and lived a difficult life, but she always remembered her husband's will and carried the flag with her.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the descendants of Xiao Yedan have been inheriting this banner. Whenever Liu Taihang and others saw this flag, they would be moved to tears. We know that there will always be traces of wind and rain, but we can't predict which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected.
A turn, a parting, may be that we will never see each other again in this life, and we can't predict when the last meeting will be. Time flies, but the will of the spirit can live forever.
Thanks to the unremitting search of the descendants of *** and the perseverance of the descendants of Xiao Yedan, this friendship across the mountains and seas is finally connected again.
