The story of Yang Jiajiang is familiar to everyone, but it is a little far away from us, and it is difficult to truly feel the feelings of the family and country at that time. In fact, there is a real example around us, that is, Yang Rongxian's family.
Yang Rongxian sent all his eight sons to the battlefield to defend their families and the country, and finally all died on the battlefield. **Hearing this, tears rained down and personally came to Yang Rongxian's side to see him off. So, why did Elder Yang send all his sons to the battlefield?
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and they are also the sons and daughters of China, and they should be united and united with the outside world. Although the parties have different beliefs, they should share the same hatred and hatred when the country is in crisis. Unexpectedly, Chiang Kai-shek went back on his word and repeatedly violated the principle of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. In 1927, the "April 12 Coup" was launched, and the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party began to break down, and wars began to break out one after another.
In this context, an old man from a poor family but who loves the motherland deeply came into everyone's sight, he is Yang Rongxian. He was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and at a young age, he witnessed the corruption of the Qing Dynasty and the aggression of foreign powers. Despite the anger in his heart, he did not know what to do to change the situation.
The increase in age did not wear away this patriotic feeling, but became more and more intense. However, at this time, China was suffering from internal and external troubles, and warlords were divided, and Yang Rongxian still did not find a way to serve the motherland.
With the birth of sons one after another, the burden on the family became heavier and heavier, and Yang Rongxian had to work multiple jobs at the same time, busy back and forth in different landlords' homes. But in such a society, hard work does not bring about substantial change, and the conditions at home are getting worse and worse.
Just when Yang Rongxian was about to lose confidence in life, the Communist Party appeared, and the soldiers gave him land and living materials to help him get through the most difficult period. Before this, every warlord was to oppress the people and enrich their own pockets, Yang Rongxian had never seen such troops serving the people, they were like a bright lamp to light up Yang Rongxian's hope.
Originally, Yang Rongxian wanted to follow the Communist Party to participate in the revolution, but unfortunately, on the one hand, he was too old and his body no longer allowed it, and on the other hand, he still had his wife and children to take care of at home, so he had to give up this idea.
With land, Yang Rongxian's family is getting better and better. happened to catch up with the Red Army recruitment at this time, and Yang Rongxian signed up for the army with his two adult sons as soon as possible. How could Yang Rongxian not know the cruelty of war, but in the face of national righteousness, he still sent his son to the battlefield to serve the country.
The two sons excelled on the battlefield and were loved by the leaders. It's a pity that the guns have no eyes, and it didn't take long for them to die on the battlefield and die honorably. Knowing this, the old man who was over half a hundred years old was heartbroken, but he never regretted it.
A year later, due to the tension of the war, the Communists conscripted again, and Yang Rongxian also wanted his son to go into battle to kill the enemy, but this time it was more democratic. He called all six of his remaining sons to his side, explained the stakes, and asked for advice one by one, leaving it up to them to decide what to do.
Unexpectedly, the results were surprisingly unanimous, and they all decided to join the army and serve the country, and the two youngest children were not even adults. The villagers wanted Yang Rongxian to change his mind and leave the youngest two children to support himself and take care of the family. Yang Rongxian said: "Only when there is a country can there be a home, and if the country is gone, what is the use of having a home." "I didn't change my mind because of the dissuasion of the villagers.
Fortunately, at the recruitment office, the two younger sons were retired because their age was really not up to standard. Their four elder brothers went to the battlefield, and on the battlefield, the four of them maintained the fine style of the Yang family, not afraid of sacrifice, brave in battle, and never flinched. It's a pity that they were surrounded by the enemy in the breakout battle, and all of them were killed.
This incident was fatal to Yang Rongxian, and he fell into a coma for a while. Just when everyone thought that he would not send his only two children to the battlefield again, he said: "We will not go to the battlefield, whoever goes to war, who will protect the country." ”
Yang Rongxian's two youngest sons knew that their brothers were all killed on the battlefield, not only did they not be timid, but secretly ran to join the army, Yang Rongxian also found out later, his face was full of pride.
We all know the rest of the story, none of his eight sons came back alive. This matter soon spread to **, and he personally rushed to his house to offer condolences, saying: "From today on, I am your son, and I will provide for you in old age." ”
There are many such stories in Chinese history, and it is precisely because of these old people who understand righteousness that our country will get better and better.
