On the hometown road, the ** marshal and his wife Zhang Qian walked side by side. The two are simple and close to the crowd, as if they are one with the villagers.
Zhang Qian, who is over thirty years old, is peerless. Outstanding face, well-styled hairstyle, exuding an extraordinary temperament. She stood aside, like a figure in a painting, and her age had not left a mark on her face. No matter where they were, the two always missed their homeland.
At the age of three, he was able to recite the "Three Character Classic" and read the "Thousand Character Text" at the age of five. Since the age of seven, ** has been carrying his bags, bidding farewell to his hometown, and embarking on a journey to Chengdu to study.
This parting has been more than 30 years. Although time flies, ** cares about his hometown. There were only two opportunities to return home: in 1922, when he returned to his hometown after studying abroad, and the other was in 1959, after 36 years, when he set foot in this homeland again.
In a foreign land, ** longing for his hometown has never diminished. In the summer of 1925, he translated his thoughts about his mother into words and created the article "The Returning Son", which was published in the "** Monthly" under the pseudonym Qu Qiu. This story depicts the emotions of the protagonist Hong'er who is far away from her hometown and her mother who is deeply missing. These words are like a link between him and his hometown and his mother.
* Zeng said: "There is a knot in my heart that can never be untied, and this knot was laid by my mother." This sentence profoundly expresses his deep affection for his mother. In addition to work, ** often takes out this story, caresses the feelings of longing, and converts the inner feelings into words to express the deep longing for his mother.
In the autumn of 1959, ** finally realized his wish to return to his hometown after 36 years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he cared about his hometown and hoped to be able to go back. However, he was never able to do so.
Fate finally favors you. On October 29, 1959, after attending the closing ceremony of the Soviet Exhibition on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy in Chengdu, ** decided to leave for his hometown. For him, this is a long-awaited homecoming, an in-depth journey into the development of his hometown.
As soon as I arrived in my hometown, I didn't care about the fatigue of the journey, and immediately gained an in-depth understanding of the local development. Overnight, he listened to the work report of Duan Jianwu, secretary of the Lezhi County Party Committee, learned in detail about the lives of the people in his hometown, and put forward important instructions.
Early the next morning, ** returned to his hometown with his wife Zhang Qian. Despite its name as the Commune des Laborers, the land is still a familiar and affectionate home for him. After getting out of the car, they trudged on the muddy path, and every bend and bump seemed to be a part of the memory. Winding paths, over hill after hill, to the old home where he once lived.
Walking into Chen Changxin's old house, ** felt the warmth of home. In the house, he saw his relatives, his uncle Chen Changxin and his mother, as if they were witnesses of time, quietly watching this homeland.
* The joy of seeing loved ones is palpable. walked straight forward, took the hands of Uncle and Niang, and said enthusiastically: "Uncle, Niang, I haven't seen you for many years, and now I'm back to see you!" This title fully expresses the feeling of missing relatives.
Uncle Chen Changxin was also very happy. He had already learned that ** had become a big official in the city, and this return to his hometown was an opportunity for him to change his fate. So, in a cordial atmosphere, Chen Changxin made a request to **, hoping to solve his hukou problem, convert the rural hukou to the urban hukou, and arrange a job as a handyman in the county office.
* The request was firmly denied. He said frankly: "Uncle, this is not good, others will scold me, this is special." You old man, you must forgive me! *'s rejection is both a manifestation of his principled character and his adherence to justice.
However, ** did not let the atmosphere go down, he immediately changed his smile and continued to joke with his uncle. He said: "Uncle, you are now barking ducks in the commune, and barking ducks is also a good job!" I want to give you a poem to commemorate you: I became a duck commander in my twilight years, and I showed my heart for the country and the people. Walking all over the mountains and rivers in his hometown, a long pole is tied to a thousand catties. ”
* Back in my hometown, just in time for the completion of a stone bridge. Local cadres enthusiastically proposed that the bridge be named "General's Bridge" or "Marshal Bridge" as a sign of respect.
However, ** strongly opposed this proposal. He affectionately told everyone: "Please don't do this. I** am just an ordinary person, how can He De deserve such respect? I think this bridge should be named 'Labor Bridge', because the real great heroes are the working people, those who give silently and work hard. ”
The short trip back to his hometown made ** feel the changes in his hometown. Looking around, he found that his hometown had changed drastically. Small factories have sprung up, roads have been built in various districts and townships, and people's lives have gradually become better.
Today, the story of the last time he returned to his hometown is still told locally. This is not only a historical memory, but also an emotional inheritance, which engraves the deep affection for hometown and family in people's hearts.
*'s return to his hometown is not only a simple trip to visit relatives, but also a concern and concern for the development of his hometown, and a concern and longing for his relatives. His attitude and behavior make people feel a kind of kindness and warmth, and inspire us to keep going.
While remembering a great founding marshal, we are also inheriting an emotion, a kind of cherishing and nostalgia for our hometown and family affection. Although he is gone, his spirit lives on in our hearts and inspires us to keep going.
