In the year, Nie Rongjin was slapped on the table by the chief of staff, and he went home and said to his wife:Find a wife to take care of him.
On October 8, 1989, the Double Ninth Festival of the ninth lunar month, a total of 103 couples across the country obtained"National Golden Wedding Couple"Among them, the founding lieutenant general Sun Yi and his wife, Tian Xiujuan, the former secretary of the All-China Women's Federation, are among them.
When Sun Yi and his wife received the trophy, tears of joy flashed in the corners of their eyes, and tears of happiness flowed on their faces.
An interesting story between Sun Yi and Tian Xiujuan was mentioned by Admiral Wang Ping, who once made trouble with their new house, which caused Sun Yi to laugh. Sun Yi is a veteran who participated in the revolution very early, and served as the chief of staff of the Red First Army and the chief of staff of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
His personality made the *** commander feel a little worried, so Mrs. Zhang Ruihua began to look for a wife for him who could control him. After some selection, they chose Tian Xiujuan, director of the Women's Rescue Association of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region.
Tian Xiujuan is a woman with rich revolutionary experience and strong beliefs, and her appearance happens to be in stark contrast to Sun Yi, ** believes that the combination of this couple is perfect, which can not only take care of Sun Yi's personality, but also allow him to be warm and cared for in the family.
** and Sun Yi are both leaders of the border region, and they hope that Sun Yi can have more contact with Tian Xiujuan. Tian Xiujuan is an outstanding woman cadre, and she once delivered a speech at the meeting, focusing on how the whole party and the whole border region should be concerned about training and allocating women cadres.
Zhang Ruihua is also helping Tian Xiujuan think about marriage. Under the lead of the *** couple, the contact opportunities between Sun Yi and Tian Xiujuan gradually increased. ** also half-jokingly asked Sun Yi if he needed help from an external force, but Sun Yi said that he didn't need it at the moment.
In August, Sun Yi attended a party representative meeting held by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border District Party Committee in Chengnanzhuang Town, Fuping County, and Tian Xiujuan, as a representative, was also present. **Special arrangements were made for Sun Yi to rest for a few days in Chengnanzhuang and he was invited to attend the meeting of party representatives in the border area.
During the meeting, ** told Sun Yi: "I have a task to give you, that is, to write a love letter to Tian Xiujuan." Sun Yi thought he was going to the front line to fight, but *** asked him to "capture" Tian Xiujuan's heart.
Sun Yi hesitated, but still saluted *** and agreed to the task. That night, Sun Yi personally wrote a love letter to Tian Xiujuan, the content of which was his own situation, including his poor family, he was married and had a daughter in his early years, he lost contact with his family after participating in the revolution, and his wife took her daughter to remarry, but he was still alive.
At the end of the letter, Sun Yi said: "If you don't love my beard, I can shave it." ”
Sun Yi and Tian Xiujuan's beards are of great significance to Sun Yi. He fell seriously ill at the age of 21 and began to grow beards after recovering from his illness. During the Red Army, he once saluted ** and *** in a chance encounter.
* Humorously said that he recognized Sun Yi from his beard, but the Red Army regulations forbade bearding, wasn't he afraid of being locked up? Sun Yi replied firmly, he was not afraid.
*When asked why Sun Yi had a beard, Sun Yi replied that the beard symbolizes the human spirit and cannot be shaved under any circumstances. ** Laughed after hearing this, and allowed Sun Yi to continue to keep his beard.
Therefore, Sun Yi's beard was named "Sun Beard" and has been retained for more than ten years. This beard is not only Sun Yi's spiritual symbol, but also his most sincere confession to Tian Xiujuan. "
The touching love story of Sun Yi and Tian Xiujuan On September 15, 1939, Sun Yi and Tian Xiujuan officially became husband and wife, and the wedding was personally organized by Zhang Ruihua and his wife.
Tian Xiujuan likes children very much, and although the war was raging at that time, she also looked forward to being a mother. After getting married, Tian Xiujuan said to her husband: "I want a child. ”
Sun Yi asked her: "The conditions are so difficult, can it work?" Tian Xiujuan said confidently: "For the sake of the child, I am not afraid of any hardship." Eight months after the marriage, the "Battle of the Hundred Regiments" began, Sun Yi led the troops to the front line, and Tian Xiujuan, who was already pregnant, led the guerrillas to attack in all directions in the enemy's rear and cooperate with the main force to fight.
When passing through the enemy's blockade ditch, Tian Xiujuan took the lead in jumping to the bottom of the ditch more than a foot deep and accidentally fell unconscious. When she woke up, she found that she had lost the child.
In the late spring and early summer of 1941, the Japanese army carried out a brutal "sweep" on the Jizhong Plain, at this time, Tian Xiujuan, who was pregnant again, led the team after nearly a month of maneuvering, although she finally broke out of the enemy's encirclement, but she was overworked and miscarried again.
Despite experiencing the blow of losing her child twice, Tian Xiujuan still said firmly: "For the sake of the child, I am not afraid of any hardship." ”
The love story of Sun Yi and Tian Xiujuan makes people feel extremely moved and admired. During those war years, their lives were full of challenges and difficulties, but they always held fast to their love and commitment to each other.
Tian Xiujuan gave birth to a boy in the Taihang Mountains, but soon after, the Japanese army began to sweep the base area, and she had to take the child around in the mountains, and the cold of winter and the child's pneumonia made their lives more difficult.
Tian Xiujuan's father was arrested by the enemy because the three daughters of the Tian family had joined the Eighth Route Army, and the enemy tortured him to force him to let his daughters come back, Tian's father said firmly: "The girl is the water that was spilled, and I am willing to give up my life, don't expect me to recruit them back, and when you robbers are all gone, they will give me a grave!" ”
In the end, Tian's father was killed by the enemy because he refused to give in. In the face of this series of blows, Tian Xiujuan was grief-stricken, but she survived with a tenacious will, she said: "For the sake of the dead sisters and the living sisters, I have survived." ”
Despite the difficulties they faced, Sun Yi and Tian Xiujuan's love has never changed. They lived the life of a "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" during the war years, and it was not easy to meet each other.
During the Liberation War, Tian Xiujuan once wrote a letter to Sun Yi, which was full of concern and encouragement for him, and also expressed her own belief and determination.
She told Sun Yi that their love is deeply rooted in each other's hearts and cannot be shaken. This story teaches us that the power of love is endless, and it can make us resilient and courageous in the face of difficulties.
No matter how difficult life is, as long as we have love, we will be able to find hope and strength.
I don't have enough money to buy books, so you can help me find some old newspapers to sell! Sometimes he simply borrowed money directly from Tian Xiujuan.
Tian Xiujuan is the mother of Sun Yi's children, who do not understand Sun Yi's spending money on social activities. Tian Xiujuan always told them that Sun Yi did not smoke or drink, lived a simple life, and spent all his money on teenagers, and he felt that this was the only way to feel comfortable.
Sun Yi felt very relieved after hearing this. One day, Tian Xiujuan returned to Beijing from a meeting in other places, and as soon as she got off the train, she called Sun Yi **. After Sun Yi received the **, he immediately said to the guard: "I'll pick her up." ”
The guard wanted to drive Sun Yi to the train station, but Sun Yi said: "This is a private matter, I'll go!" So, Sun Yi went to Beijing Station on crutches and picked up his wife.
The old couple walked in the alley, telling each other about their lovesickness after saying goodbye, which became a beautiful scene for neighbors to see.
Tian Xiujuan accompanied Sun Yi through his old age, making Sun Yi the first centenarian general of the whole army at the age of 100. However, three years later, Sun Yi died, and Tian Xiujuan also passed away.
