You have lost a son, I have lost a son, for the sake of the country and the nation, they have lost their precious lives, and we are both martyrs". In 1953, after the National Women's Congress, ** met with Huang Jiguang's mother, Deng Fangzhi.
Facing the martyr's family, ** said such a thing emotionally. However, Deng Fangzhi's expression was very calm and did not look sad. Everyone present wept silently for the martyrs who sacrificed, and only Deng Fangzhi did not shed tears.
In the past few years, ** met Deng Fangzhi twice, and as she grew older, her face was already covered with wrinkles. But as when she first met *** in 1953, she still did not show a sad look.
So, when the son died, why didn't the mother shed tears? After Huang Jiguang died, what did Deng Fangzhi do? Later, she wrote a letter to the volunteers, and what did she say in the letter?
Deng Fangzhi was born in a poor peasant family in Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province, and although her husband Huang Dezhong was not highly educated, he was hardworking and simple to support the family.
However, their lives did not go well, the eldest son was bitten by a yellow dog, resulting in lifelong disabilities, and the second son was born deaf and dumb and unable to take care of himself, and the family situation deteriorated.
In desperation, Huang Dezhong had no choice but to borrow money from the landlord in the village, but the landlord did something on the IOU, which made him unable to repay it, so he could only go to work as a long-term worker in the landlord's family. Despite the many difficulties they encountered, they remained resilient and worked hard to live.
In feudal times, landlords and gentry often joined forces to brutally exploit the peasants. It was in this environment that Huang Dezhong spent his youthful years. He suffered from hunger and cold in the landlord's house, and his physical condition deteriorated day by day due to the long and intense hours of labor.
However, when his third son, Huang Jiguang, was born in 1931, he and his wife, Deng Fangzhi, saw a glimmer of hope. Huang Jiguang was born healthy, he knew how to share the pressure for his family when he was a child, although he dropped out of school at a young age, Deng Fangzhi has always taught him the principles of life, so that he has established correct values since he was a child.
A few years later, his fourth son, Huang Jishu, was born, and Huang Jiguang also became an important pillar of the family, whether it was working as a day job, going to the farmland, or digging wild vegetables, he did his best.
However, in 1941, the grain harvest in Zhongjiang County was poor, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Huang Dezhong became ill from hard work, and his condition worsened day by day, and finally he could not stand up again. Orphans and widows, it is difficult to survive in the troubled times, but fortunately, Huang Jiguang has been diligent and diligent, trying to maintain the livelihood of his family.
However, the pressure he faced was unimaginable. Until 1949, the year Huang Jiguang was exactly 18 years old, and before he became an adult, he witnessed the darkness of old China and hated the landlords.
He heard that the Communist Party was dedicated to fighting landlords, and he longed for the People's Liberation Army, hoping to join the army, serve the motherland, and end the inequality of the time. Soon after, the People's Liberation Army really came to Zhongjiang County, Huang Jiguang's family was liberated, and the land occupied by the landlords was also recaptured.
Deng Fangzhi said to Huang Jiguang: "We must be grateful for the policies of the party and the state, so that today's new China can be achieved. We can't forget this kindness, if you want to join the army to resist US aggression and aid Korea, I support you, we have all experienced the hardships of the old society, and we can't let history repeat itself. ”
After hearing this, Huang Jiguang was very excited, and he expressed his determination to his mother that he must join the ranks of the volunteers. His mother's teachings and support made Huang Jiguang more convinced.
He expressed his determination and desire to the country, and eventually joined the volunteer army and became a heroic warrior.
With the support of his mother, Huang Jiguang mustered up the courage and became the first batch of young people in Zhongjiang County to sign up for the army. When filling out the form, the registration officer reminded him that joining the army was hard and needed to withstand the test of long-distance marching, but he did not flinch, firmly responded to the call of ***, and solemnly wrote his name.
In March 1951, the Volunteer Army had been in Korea for five months, and through five battles, it successfully forced the United Army back to the 38th Parallel, and initially grasped the initiative on the battlefield. However, due to logistical reasons, Huang Jiguang and his troops only entered the Korean battlefield.
Huang Jiguang, with his ingenuity and flexible way of doing things, was selected by the instructor as the correspondent of the logistics department.
On April 29, 1952, he expressed his firm confidence in the situation in his first letter to his mother Deng Fangzhi, expressing his belief that under the leadership of the great leader, our good days are still ahead.
Deng Fangzhi was also very pleased to receive her son's letter, and in her reply letter she encouraged Huang Jiguang to continue to listen to the party's words in the army and make meritorious contributions to the country and the people. However, Huang Jiguang did not receive this letter.
On October 14, 1952, under the command of Commander Van Vleet in South Korea, United ** launched a large-scale siege of the Shangganling position garrisoned by the Volunteers, gathering more than 60,000 troops, more than 300 artillery, more than 170 tanks, and 3,000 sorties.
On the Korean battlefield, there was a battle that was even more fierce than any other battle during World War II, with 6 shells fired every second, and 76 shells per square meter of land**, the sound was so great that the night sky was like day.
Huang Jiguang, as a correspondent of the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army, participated in this battle with the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion. On the evening of October 19, the battle was particularly tragic, the battalion demolition team was all killed, and the higher authorities issued an order to capture 597 before dawn9 Heights.
At this time, Huang Jiguang offered to take over this task, he handed over the commemorative medal to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the letter of application for joining the party and the letter of determination to the company commander, saluted a military salute, and then took three comrades-in-arms of the communication class to resolutely and resolutely to 5979 Advance on the high grounds.
They had to destroy the enemy's firepower points, and through clever interspersing, Huang Jiguang and the other four successfully destroyed the enemy's two firepower points with grenades, but the bunker in the center still could not be breached.
In order to cover his comrades, Huang Jiguang advanced to the enemy's bunker alone. Although he was spotted by an enemy flare and was shot, he did not flinch. He stood up and blocked the muzzle of the enemy's guns, bleeding profusely.
His heroic feat panicked the enemy troops and created opportunities for his comrades. When he died, the hygienist found that his blood had dried up, and he had to be dipped in warm water to remove the muzzle cloth.
This scene made many people cry. Huang Jiguang's sacrifice made Jia Rugong's first-class meritorious service in Ganling recall it, and he also burst into tears. He said: "Huang Jiguang, his back is hollowed out, and there is no flesh and blood ......”
Huang Jiguang was only 21 years old when he died, and the news only came back to China two months later. When Deng Fangzhi heard the news, tears kept flowing from her eyes, and her grief and despair were difficult for others to empathize.
She sat at the entrance of the village, looking north, as if waiting for her son to return, but she knew in her heart that her son would never come back. However, she waited day after day, only there were no more tears in her eyes.
You have lost a son, and I have lost a son, and they have sacrificed honorably, and we are all martyrs." After that, **'s eye sockets have been slightly red.
However, Deng Fangzhi was still smiling, without the slightest sign of sadness, and her strength and optimism deeply touched ***
A year after Huang Jiguang's heroic death, everyone was very curious about Deng Fangzhi's grief. After continuous questioning, she finally opened her heart and revealed the truth: "My son died heroically on the battlefield, as his mother, how can I not be sad?
Whenever I close my eyes, I always think of him on the battlefield, and it keeps me awake at night, and I never get a good night's sleep. Hearing these words, Deng Fangzhi's eyes were lonely, old tears were rampant, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many years were released at this moment.
However, when *** was interviewed, why did Deng Fangzhi never cry? She said frankly: "The son of * has also been sacrificed, how can I remind him of the pain of the past for the sake of my own private feelings? ”
Deng Fangzhi's answer was simple and simple, but it made people feel her selfless maternal love and deep respect for ***. It turned out that Deng Fangzhi had always hidden her grief in her heart, and in order to make *** feel comforted, she chose to be strong.
This great mother, her deep meaning is touching, and her respect for *** and selfless maternal love make us admire and respect even more.
Huang Jiguang's heroic deeds deeply touched many front-line soldiers, who wrote letters to Deng Fangzhi, hoping to become her child, as a way to express their admiration for this staunch patriot.
Deng Fangzhi was so moved by this that she wrote a reply, saying that although she had lost one son, she now has thousands of sons. She said that although she is 61 years old, she is not old, and she will use all the condolence money for production and continue to support the front line.
She looked forward to the news of the warriors' victory. After his youngest son Huang Jishu grew up, Deng Fangzhi did not hesitate to send him to the army for training. In addition, her three grandsons and two granddaughters also joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army under the influence of Huang Jiguang.
Deng Fangzhi insisted on her own production and labor, and often went to the army to tell Huang Jiguang's deeds.
Conclusion: In 1965, Deng Fangzhi joined the Chinese delegation to the DPRK and came to the Korean Peninsula. In 5979 years ago, she saw the site of Huang Jiguang's sacrifice for the first time.
Looking at the land that had returned to calm and the farmland with a bumper harvest in the distance, although Deng Fangzhi was speechless, her face was full of relief - at this moment, she was even more convinced that her son's sacrifice was worth it.
During the war years, heroes like Huang Jiguang emerged one after another, they were the cornerstone of contemporary social stability and people's happiness, and their successive sacrifices created our prosperity.
We are enjoying the present life, but we must not forget those heroes who threw their heads and spilled their blood, and pay tribute to the great martyrs!
