Introduction On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was founded. Song Renqiang's wife Zhong Yuelin cried for a whole day, and she said to Song Renqiang: I gave birth to a child and died during the war, and now that New China is founded, I will give birth to a litter for you. In 1955, Song Renqiang was awarded the founding general, Zhong Yuelin gave birth to the 11th child for Song Renqiang, and Zhong Yuelin wrote in his memoirs in his later years: I love Ren Poor and my children, if there is an afterlife, I will marry him.

At a glance, if you drive 20 kilometers west from Liuyang City, Hunan Province, you can see the former residence of Song Renqiao. On July 17, 1909, Song Renqiang was born here, in the memory of the local elderly, Song Renqiang's family conditions were not bad, he studied in Jinjiang High School when he was a child, he liked to read and write, and was familiar with all kinds of revolutionary readings, which had a great impact on his later participation in the revolution. After graduating from primary school, Song Renqiang became one of the few local teachers, and he was a model for others, and Song Renqiang sighed in his memoirs: If it weren't for the war, I would still be a great teacher. In 1926, the spark of revolution had been ignited on the banks of the Liuyang River, and Song Renqiao resigned as a teacher to join the Communist Party, leading the peasants to fight the landlords and local tyrants, and began his rumbling revolutionary career.

In 1930, Song Renqiang on the Long March was already the political commissar of Chen Geng's side, although Song Renqiang was not as famous as Chen Geng, he was more popular with girls than Chen Geng. According to Zhong Yuelin's recollection: Song Renqiang likes to write a diary, everyone is discussing the shortcomings of parents, only Song Renqiang writes a diary and reads poetry at the same time, and I am not the only one who likes Song Renqiang. Zhong Yuelin, born in a poor family in Jiangxi in 1915, became a child daughter-in-law at the age of 8, at that time saw many women in the village everywhere to propagate revolutionary knowledge, divide land to fight local tyrants, and advocate women's equality, Zhong Yuelin, who was deeply influenced by it, resolutely joined it, participated in the revolution at the age of 15, and became the youngest female Red Army on the Long March.

Chen Geng asked: Why did you join the Red Army? Zhong Yuelin said: At that time, I didn't know what the Red Army was doing, but I only knew that the Red Army was good to the poor, and there were good people inside. This was heard by Song Renqiang, who was writing a diary on the side, and raised his head to look at Zhong Yuelin, and it was this glance that made Zhong Yuelin's face instantly red. Song Renqiang once asked Chen Geng, what is that girl's name? Chen Geng told Song Renqiao that the girl came from the countryside, and she walked from Yudu for three days and three nights before coming over, and she didn't even have a name. Song Renqiang was even more impressed by this girl. Later, the organization gave her the name "Zhong Yuelin" and put her in charge of the logistics of the Red Army. Once, ***'s younger brother Mao ** killed a dog for a lesbian to eat, but Zhong Yuelin was kind and didn't eat it, and later under the persuasion of He Zizhen, he ate dog meat. Zhong Yuelin's kindness made He Zizhen see it, and he was already planning to introduce Zhong Yuelin to a partner.

In October 1935, when the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, it was considered to have its own home, and many female comrades were married, so He Zizhen told Zhong Yuelin that he planned to introduce Song Renqiang to her. Zhong Yuelin said at the time: People are political commissars, will they take a fancy to me? Who knew that Song Renqiao agreed. Lost 3 sons in 5 years On December 12, 1935, Zhong Yuelin rolled up the bed and walked to Song Renqiang's cave, followed by a bunch of women, He Zizhen, Deng Yingchao, Cai Chang, Deng Liujin, etc. were all waiting to eat and drink, but Song Renqiang only took out two yuan from his pocket. I ate a meal like this, and I was married.

The good times didn't last long, on the third day after marriage, ** sent Song Renqiao to Liu Zhidan as political commissar, when Liu Zhidan was very famous in the Red 28th Army, and Song Renqiang was indomitable. "I'll go wherever you go. "20-year-old Zhong Yuelin hugged Song Renqiang and didn't let him go, but the war could not be delayed, ** specially approved Zhong Yuelin to follow Song Renqiang to the front line. On July 7, 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Song Renqiao's first child was born on this day, but because of poor environmental hygiene, the child was infected during birth, and the child died within 7 days. At that time, Song Renqiang was fighting a bloody battle with the enemy, and he was grieved when he got the news, and he took the lead with a big sword, although he won the battle, he sacrificed many comrades-in-arms, including Liu Zhidan.

In 1938, Song Renqiao fell ill and contracted paratyphoid fever. Zhong Yuelin wrote in his memoirs: Ren was very ill, and his comrades-in-arms prepared a coffin for him, but I didn't want him to die. Under Zhong Yuelin's careful care, Song Renqiao miraculously got better. Song Renqiang jokingly said: Our second child is about to be born, and I can't let her be left without a father. In 1942, the Great Famine broke out in southern Hebei, and more than 500 villages in southern Hebei were not harvested, and countless people starved to death. When the news of corpses came all over the field, Song Renqiao hurriedly asked about the situation at home, but the bad news came again, he thought it was safe to leave the child in his hometown, but he didn't want the child to be starved to death. In less than a year, the newborn third daughter also starved to death.

Losing his three sons in less than 5 years, Zhong Yuelin cried for a day, and Chief Liu Deng specially called Song Renqiao to express his condolences, and he must cheer up. According to Zhong Yuelin's recollections: The loss of a child had a great impact on Ren Poor, and at that time, when our army was active at night, Ren Poor would often deliberately protect women and children, and treat every child in the war zone as his own child, and many ordinary people spoke highly of Ren Poor. I want to give birth to a litter for you In 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender and won the War of Resistance against Japan. This year, Zhong Yuelin gave birth to his eldest son, and Song Renqiao named him Song Kehuang. The name has a profound meaning, and it recalls the children Song Renqiang and his wife who died in the famine. Zhong Yuelin once said to Song Renqiao: During the war, children died one after another, and now that the Anti-Japanese War has been won, I will give you a litter.

Two years later, Zhong Yuelin gave birth to a daughter named Song Binbin. At that time, the idea of patriarchy was more serious, Song Renqiao liked his son, Zhong Yuelin said: Then let's have another son. Who knew that only two sons were born later, and the rest were daughters. In 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, Zhong Yuelin gave birth to another daughter. Song Renqiang said: Now that the living conditions are better, the previous things will not happen, you just have to take care of your body. Until the birth of the sixth daughter, Zhong Yuelin cried a lot. "They all say that they look down on their daughters, and now we have 6 daughters, what will we do in the future? Song Renqiao comforted: What are you afraid of, 6 daughters are not enough for a table!

According to Zhong Yuelin's recollection, Song Renqiao not only did not blame her, but loved her even more, and during the confinement period, he would arrange for someone to bring chicken soup every time. Song Renqiao is very busy with his work, and he can find time to take care of his wife every day, such a man is extremely precious among many comrades-in-arms. Zhong Yuelin said movingly: I will marry you in the next life. In his later years, he was even more affectionate In 1955, Song Renqiao participated in the award work, and he once said that compared with the southern and northern wars, this award work was the most difficult. He himself was also awarded the founding general, in Zhong Yuelin's eyes, Song Renqiao was just a model husband, but he didn't expect to be a model general, that day Zhong Yuelin took the initiative to fill the water tank at home, she wrote: Ren Poor work and family are not wrong, I feel guilty.

In 1956, he told Song Renqiang to establish his own atomic bomb business, and Song Renqiang took the initiative to invite him to devote himself to intense research work. Song Renqiao told Zhong Yuelin that he was busy with work, and things at home were delayed. Zhong Yuelin did not complain in the slightest. In 1968, Song Renqiang was trapped in the "Ten Years of Catastrophe", and his physical condition gradually deteriorated. According to the memories of Song Renqiao's children, his father was in his 60s at that time, and he would hold his mother's hand all day long, not letting his mother do heavy work, for fear that his mother would have an accident.

I left first In 1988, Song Renqiao's condition worsened, he took Zhong Yuelin back to his hometown in Liuyang, Hunan, and brought candy to the villagers to eat, and the old people in the village cried when they saw Song Renqiang. "It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Although there were no complaints, Song Renqiao knew that he was late to come back, and many old people said they would leave, and now they are leaving. That year, Song Renqiao wrote in a letter to his family: I didn't leave anything for my family, nor did I leave anything for my children, and now I don't have much time left in the world, I hope the children understand. In 1998, 89-year-old Song Renqiao fell ill in the hospital, Zhong Yuelin held his hand in front of the hospital bed and asked: What should I do if you leave? Song Renqiao kept muttering something in his mouth, but he couldn't hear it clearly. Later, the children told Zhong Yuelin that his father wanted to celebrate your birthday, but no one knew when your birthday was, Zhong Yuelin cried: I don't even have a name, if it weren't for your father, I wouldn't know if I was drifting.

In the years when Song Renqiao fell ill, he always told his children to take good care of his mother. On January 8, 2005, Song Renqiang, who was about to die, muttered vigorously on the hospital bed, and her daughter saw it and quickly said: Dad, don't worry, I will take care of my mother. As soon as he finished speaking, Song Renqiang closed his eyes and died at the age of 96. At the farewell ceremony, Zhong Yuelin held the urn and cried silently, and kept saying: What should I do if you leave? On July 11, 2009, Zhong Yuelin wrote on the centenary of Song Renqiao's birth: I am the greatest happiness in my life to spend 70 years with you, and I miss you all the time after you leave for 5 years.

On August 3, Zhong Yuelin followed Song Renqiao and died at the age of 94. In this life, Zhong Yuelin gave birth to 11 children for Song Renqiao, leaving 2 boys and 6 girls, she and Song Renqiang's love for the world can be learned, just like the poem written by her children: Eighty years of ups and downs, sixty years of companionship!
