** 10,000 Fans Incentive Plan In 1949, a regimental commander of the Kuomintang army entrusted his wife and two sons to the care of his orderlies. He made a promise to take them over when he settled in Taiwan.
The orderly firmly agreed to the regimental commander's request. However, surprisingly, the regiment commander never came back after he went to Taiwan, and his promise that he would come back to pick up his wife and children to Taiwan was not fulfilled.
However, the orderly kept his promise and cared for the commander's wife and two sons for 66 years until his own death.
Although life is difficult, the little Tuo Changfa is self-reliant. When he was thirteen years old, his father died, and the burden of the family fell on him, but he still insisted on helping his uncle cut grass and feed the cattle until one day, he was arrested by the Kuomintang.
He was only 14 years old when he was captured, and his mother died soon after, leaving behind his two younger brothers. In such a predicament, he relied on his aunt's help and his own efforts to finally grow up**.
After being captured, Tuo Changfa followed the Kuomintang soldiers' troops all the way forward. On the way, he almost starved to death, but fortunately was helped by a young soldier.
Despite his young age, the soldier gave him some food to keep him from starving to death on the road. The Kuomintang soldiers did not immediately assign Tuo Changfa to the combat unit, but first asked him to do some chores.
It wasn't until he was 18 years old that he was added to a company of student soldiers named Yi Xiang. Yi Xiang is from Shaoyang, Hunan, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and is only 23 years old.
He saw that Tuo Changfa was honest and honest, and there was not much difference in age between the two, so he kept Tuo Changfa by his side and made him a soldier. Under Yi Xiang's leadership, Tuo Changfa's experience was very different from the chiefs he had met before.
Yi Xiang never scolded him, always took care of him and gave him some easy tasks. Although Tuo Changfa needed to do some chores after being caught, he never worried about food and clothing.
Under Yi Xiang's hands, his life has become more comfortable, and he no longer has to worry about lack of food and clothing.
1.Yi Xiang's age and the care he showed made Tuo Changfa feel the warmth of home, and in his heart, Yi Xiang had already become his beloved brother, and he had always guarded Yi Xiang's side on the battlefield for many years.
2.In the last large-scale battle that broke out in the Hunan region, Yi Xiang's unit killed more than 30,000 Japanese devils in the battle of Xuefeng Mountain, and these images are still as clear as yesterday even after decades.
3.Yi Shen married his college classmate Chen Shuzhen, and their union is undoubtedly a happy marriage. However, Yi Xiang always cared about Tuo Changfa, and he tried to help him find a relative, but Tuo Changfa insisted that he could die in battle at any time, and he didn't want to involve others, so in the end Yi Xiang had to give up.
Yi Xiang made many exploits in the War of Liberation, and after the Huaihai Campaign, the situation changed abruptly. He was promoted to regimental commander, but in order to support the other side, only officers and above were qualified to take their families.
Yi Xiang has two places, but he has two young children, and his wife Chen Shuzhen firmly disagrees with the separation of flesh and blood, so Yi Xiang can only leave his wife and children and ask his comrades to take care of them.
Before leaving, he specially instructed Tuo Changfa to help take care of his family's life. Yi Xiang is convinced that one day, he will take his family across the strait to repay Tuo Changfa's kindness.
After Yi Xiang left home for Taiwan, his eldest brother was afraid that he would worry about family affairs, so he made a military order, promising that no matter how long Yi Xiang left home, he would take care of Yi Xiang's family of four.
Yi Shen was very moved after hearing this, and left after giving a military salute to his eldest brother. However, no one thought that this parting would be a lifetime. Yi Xiang married another wife in Taiwan, had children of his own, and eventually died of illness in Taiwan.
As for Tuo Changfa, he kept his promise and always took care of Yi Xiang's family of four. After Yi Shen left, only his elderly father and two sons, a weak woman, were left in the family.
Tuo Changfa took over all the farm work without hesitation and made ends meet for Yi Xiang's family of four. In order to protect the reputation of Yi Xiang's family, he also built a small earthen house next to Yi Xiang's earthen house and called Chen Shuzhen "Mrs."
This promise, this perseverance, until his death, has been in his heart.
Yi Xiang's family is the son of a landlord, his father died young, and his elder brother Tuo Changfa silently took on the responsibility of taking care of his sister-in-law and two nephews. In the past 66 years, Tuo Changfa has suffered a lot, Chen Simei recalled: "The previous family was not good, our family was crammed into a small room of seven or eight square meters, and the youngest uncle lived alone in a damp and dark dilapidated room next to it in order not to disturb our family. ”
In Yi Haoguang's impression, Tuo Changfa has never enjoyed happiness, and any good thing will follow them first. He once put a pair of liberation shoes on Yi Haoguang's feet, and he himself was barefoot most of the time, even in farming, and his feet were often scratched with blood.
In the 1958 Great Iron and Steel Movement, Tuo's long-haired body was unbearable, and the whole person was skinny. However, he resolutely refused the food given to him by Chen Shuzhen, because he had promised his eldest brother that he must take good care of him.
Even if you're tired, it's okay to be hungry. This is Tuo Changfa, a selfless and tenacious person.
The two children are still young, and my wife is difficult to run the family alone, and since I have agreed, I will never leave. However, although he never changed his decision, he was misunderstood.
Because of his "abnormal" behavior, many groundless speculations and rumors circulated in the local area. Some even say he has a plan. Eventually, he was wronged for "stubbornness" and was tied up in a water cell, where he suffered from severe foot ailments and rheumatism.
Despite all the injustices he suffered, he never said a word. However, just when everyone slandered and mistreated him, Chen Shuzhen stood up and defended him. She insisted that her husband had gone to Taiwan and would never return, and that in her heart, Tuo Changfa had become her family and that she would always live with him.
Yi Xiang and his wife, Tuo Changfa, who live in Taiwan, decided to stay, and despite the difficult times, they did not complain. They have been protecting their sister-in-law and two nephews, watching the life of the sister-in-law and the children become more and more difficult, Tuo Changfa often hopes that the eldest brother can come back as soon as possible and take his wife and children to Taiwan.
However, what they waited for was disappointment. Yi Xiang has been missing his wife and children in Taiwan, but he has never been able to find a chance to come back. However, in 1979, he decided to take the risk of writing a letter to his hometown.
He sent the letter back to his hometown through his comrades-in-arms in Hong Kong. In the letter, he wrote: "Shuzhen, I have not fulfilled my filial piety to my parents, nor have I fulfilled my responsibilities to you and my two sons, which is the biggest regret of my life. ”
Soon after, Yi received a reply. When he learned that Tuo Changfa had been taking care of his wife and children all these years, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore. He didn't expect that he had always remembered the promise he had made back then, and he hadn't been married for so many years, and Yi Xiang felt very guilty about Tuo Changfa in his heart.
In the letter sent to his family later, Yi told his two sons: "I hope you can understand your mother's hard work and Uncle Tuo's nurturing grace, and hope that you can serve your mother well and treat Uncle Tuo well." ”
In the letter, Yi Xiang expressed his guilt to Chen Shuzhen, hoping that she could combine with Tuo Changfa and live a happy life together. However, Tuo Changfa was very angry after receiving the letter, he thought that Yi Xiang's suggestion was a great disrespect to his sister-in-law, and he always regarded Chen Shuzhen as his sister-in-law and respected her very much.
Both Yi Haoguang brothers understood Tuo Changfa's intentions, and they always regarded him as their father and took turns to take care of him. After Chen Shuzhen's death, Tuo Changfa fulfilled his promise and stayed with Yi Haoguang's brothers, who regarded him as their father and took care of him together.
Tuo Changfa kept his promise and stayed in Shaoyang to accompany his nephew and their descendants. He always misses his commander and promises to protect his family. When the Anti-Japanese War Veterans Care Program was launched in 2015, volunteers approached him and asked him about his wishes.
He said he wanted to go back to his hometown. The volunteers quickly connected with a volunteer from Pengshui County, named Tuo Zhengsu, who said she was from Huangjia Township and asked her father to help find her.
Tuo Zhengsu's father, the former principal of the local primary school, Tuo Delin, has a wide range of contacts. He recalled the strong man who was arrested in the village that year, and speculated that it might be Uncle Tuocheng. So he found Tuo Cheng and asked: "There is a person named Tuo Changfa in Hunan who is looking for relatives, is it a relative of your family who left in the early years?" ”
Tuo Cheng was stunned, and decades of memories came to his mind. He replied uncertainly: "Maybe, my uncle is Tuo Changfa." Tuo Delin immediately took out the ** sent by his daughter on WeChat and gave it to Tuo Cheng for confirmation.
Looking at the old man on WeChat, Tuo Cheng burst into tears: "Yes, that's my uncle." After the news reached Shaoyang, everyone was excited. It took only one day to find the veteran's relatives, thanks to a group of enthusiastic volunteers.
They made Tuo Changfa's search for relatives so smooth.
In Renji Hospital, Shaoyang County, Hunan, an old man named Tuo Changfa is receiving **. Although he was unwell, he quietly listened to the Peking Opera excerpt "Guan Yun Chang Loyalty and Righteousness" by the volunteer ** next to him.
Listening to the singing voice of the famous Peking Opera artist Wang Jinlu, he nodded slightly from time to time, as if he had returned to the Guan Yu era of sending the emperor's sister-in-law thousands of miles ago two thousand years ago. Not long ago, Tuo Cheng, the nephew of Tuo Changfa, drove to Shaoyang to recognize this long-lost relative.
Since then, he has been staying in Shaoyang, staying in front of his uncle's bed, chatting with him, and accepting **. Now, Tuo Cheng plans to take Uncle back to Pengshui after he gets better.
Hearing the news that he was going back to his hometown, Tuo Changfa was very excited, and the whole person was looking forward to it. He has also recovered well during the week he has been waiting to return to his hometown.
After deciding on the time to return to his hometown, he was so excited that he hardly slept all night. However, all this made Tuo Cheng, who was by Tuo Changfa's side, feel sorry. When his father was alive, his greatest wish was to find this long-lost relative.
Although his father is no longer there, he hopes to at least bring his uncle's ashes back to his hometown. Now, the uncle is back, but his father can't wait for this moment.
Hearing this, Tuo Cheng choked up and said, "I'm very happy that my uncle was able to come home, but I really feel sorry because my father couldn't wait for this moment. ”
On November 6, 2015, accompanied by Tuo Cheng and others, Tuo Changfa finally returned to his hometown after a 77-year absence. The news that Tuo Changfa was still alive plunged Xinjia Village, Huangjia Town, Pengshui County, deep in the mountains, into a boil.
The old man Liu Changliang, who was playing with Tuo Changfa back then, trembled and pointed to a ** and said, "This person is still here, come back!" When he came to the door of his hometown, Tuo Changfa looked at the tree in front of him with lush branches and red persimmons on the treetops, and he immediately had an impression.
Although he didn't go home in 77, the old persimmon tree that grew up with him since he was a child was very impressed in his heart. Looking at Yamada, who had not changed much in front of the door, Tuo Changfa's eyes lit up, and he couldn't stop nodding and said, "I can afford to think about it, I can afford to think about it, it's the same as when I was a child." ”
He gestured to a hill behind his hometown, where he used to graze cattle when he was a child, and it hadn't changed much in years. In the field two or three hundred meters east of Tuo Changfa's hometown, there are two graves.
Several nephews carried Tuo Changfa here in wheelchairs. He recognized at a glance that the one on the west side was his father, who had died before he was captured.
In 77 years, the location of the burial has not changed. Tuo Changfa wanted to leave the wheelchair and kowtow to his parents' graves, but his feet could no longer be supported by the ground, so his nephew Tuo Zhongyun could only complete it on his behalf.
January 27, 2016, the day of Tuo Changfa's death, is also the 24,000th day of his promise to Yi Xiang. His promise never changed, as he promised Yi Xiang back then: "If you don't come back, I will take care of them for the rest of your life." ”
He spent his life fulfilling his promises, was loyal and a true hero.
