Affectionate, he died in the fire, and she was aloneyears, loyal as one.
In March 2019, with Guo Xiaochuan's departure for 43 years, his lover Mrs. Du Hui also successfully ended her century-long legendary life. In the evening scene of her life, she declared with emotion: "The most precious thing in my life is that deep and happy love." ”
With the belief of love, she walked towards an eternal pact with the next world.
In Yan'an in 1940, the autumn sun was shining all over Yangjialing. The young Du Hui traveled with his friend Lao Li and met a poetic encounter on the way - it was Guo Xiaochuan, who was studying in the 359 Brigade and happened to bring an important letter to Lao Li.
Lao Li proudly introduced to Guo Xiaochuan that this seemingly gentle woman actually held the party's secrets and crossed the obstacles alone to reach the holy land. Guo Xiaochuan's eyes were attracted by her, the big eyes with affection were picturesque, the eyebrows were like daisies, the red lips were slightly open, and the temperament was extraordinary.
Facing her like this, Guo Xiaochuan's heart rippled subtly. However, Du Hui maintained her tranquility, and she noticed that Guo Xiaochuan in front of her, although he was dressed in a warrior's uniform and his military hat was slightly slanted, which seemed simple, but in fact he looked like a hot-blooded "Tu Balu".
His poetry recitation, like the sound of heaven, illuminated the revolutionary enthusiasm on the banks of the Yan River, and made Du Hui's view of him change from the initial simplicity to admiration. Guo Xiaochuan was pleasantly surprised by Du Hui's unique insights, and her spark of thinking and distinctive personality deeply touched his soul.
16-year-old Du Hui, their story began with laundry and strolling on the banks of the Yan River, and in the in-depth conversation, Du Hui's bravery and wisdom made him deeply admire. With the closure of the Women's University, the night in Yan'an witnessed the secret emotions of youth, and Guo Xiaochuan indulged in Du Hui's gentle eyes and smile.
He summoned up the courage to convey his fiery innocence with Cupid's arrow, and poured out"My warm heart is waiting only for you, looking forward to hearing from you"。However, his affection is not reciprocated, and Du Hui's silence stems from a cherishing of freedom, like Gorky's steppe girl, who worries that love will become a bondage.
This silence almost broke Guo Xiaochuan's heart, and he honestly told his friends that this relationship was unique, and if he was rejected, he would choose to let go, or even stay away from love. With an escape from pain, he decided to devote himself to social investigation to find a new direction in life.
When Du Hui learned about Guo Xiaochuan's story from a friend, she was full of guilt and thoughts. In her quiet memories, she began to reinterpret Guo Xiaochuan, who was born into a scholarly family and joined the revolution at the age of 18, defending national freedom with his poetry.
His poems are like fiery war songs, inspiring and deeply touching Du Hui. Poetry has become an invisible link between them, and Du Huiti promised: "Xiaochuan, I will respond to your innocent affection with enthusiasm and firmness, and promise to meet again in four days in exchange for a moment of peace in my soul!" ”
However, Guo Xiaochuan's love could not be suppressed for a long time, and the day after receiving the letter, he hurried to the party school to find her. In that quiet grove, under the moonlight, Guo Xiaochuan confessed affectionately: "I will always be loyal to you, love you forever, and belong to you forever!" ”
Since then, their love has been sublimated by the fragrance of wild roses in spring and warmth in winter winds. Guo Xiaochuan puts love into words, into every detail of poetry and love letters.
In the Spring Festival of Yan'an in 1943, Guo Xiaochuan and Du Hui signed a marriage contract in a simple cave, although the furniture was extremely simple - a borrowed wooden table, a "sofa" made of loess, but Wu Yuzhang's handwritten congratulatory couplet on the wall, "Du Lin is deeply planted with wisdom, and the small water converges into the river" has a far-reaching meaning, witnessing the deep integration of the two.
Behind the sweetness of the newlywed, there are unexpected severe tests: during the rectification movement, Du Hui was imprisoned for his outspokenness, and Guo Xiaochuan suffered in endless thoughts and wrote affectionate poems to express his love.
Despite the hardship, Guo Xiaochuan's love for Du Hui was unwavering, and Du Hui responded with poetry, perseverance like a song. After two years and five months in prison, she did not become depressed, but became more and more tenacious, which made Guo Xiaochuan proud.
Their story is a hymn to love and perseverance.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Guo Xiaochuan and Du Hui went to Fengning, Rehedong hand in hand, he served as the county magistrate, and she served as the director of the Women's Federation. The couple fought side by side, leading the masses against power and banditry, and the authority of the New Deal was expected to grow day by day.
However, severe tests followed, 100,000 Kuomintang troops raided Rehe, and white terror under the collusion of traitors and bandits enveloped the land. Du Hui was pregnant, Guo Xiaochuan was busy with guerrilla warfare, and their reunion was out of reach.
On the night of parting, Guo Xiaochuan affectionately instructed: "Don't cry tomorrow!" "That year, he was 27 and she was 26. Du Hui retreated in an ox cart, but his heart stayed on the front line with Guo Xiaochuan.
Soon, they welcomed their son in Inner Mongolia. In the midst of the war, she raised her children tenaciously, and in the face of the bad news that Guo Xiaochuan's whereabouts were unknown, the pain was like a storm. But she sticks to her beliefs and heals her wounds with her work.
Fortunately, Guo Xiaochuan escaped death in the war. In 1948, they were reunited after a long absence, and their son was one year old and seven months old. Guo Xiaochuan picked up the child and was full of emotion: "I didn't expect the child to grow up." ”
This difficult time inspired Guo Xiaochuan, who used it as a backdrop to write the epic poem "Hymn to the Snow", which depicts a touching and timeless love story.
In the flames of the literary world after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Guo Xiaochuan composed praises with warm brushstrokes, and his enthusiasm ignited Du Hui's artistic path and made her devote herself to the cause of propaganda.
Despite the triviality of life and the birth of three sons, their love is as mellow as wine, the words in the depths of their hearts are like a river, the streets are strolling, the laughter is endless, and her bright eyes provide him with a steady stream of creative inspiration.
Du Hui is not only the first reader of his works, but also an emotional pen pal, who conveys love through affectionate letters, and he exudes his enthusiasm for his work and his eternal commitment to her.
With the birth of masterpieces such as "One and Eight" and "Green Yarn Tent - Sugarcane Forest", Guo Xiaochuan's creation has reached its peak. They traveled together to Gulangyu Island, a journey that inspired him to write his touching "Xiamen Style", which has been praised as "a milestone in the history of poetry".
However, the storm in 1966 plummeted, and Guo Xiaochuan was sent to a cadre school for reform. In the difficult situation, Du Hui was as firm as she was back then, and her companionship and encouragement were like a beacon to illuminate him through the difficult times.
Her visit to the Tuanbo Wa Cadre School in Tianjin, affectionately called the busy figure of "starting a circle", has become a source of strength for his creation. Even if his heart was frustrated, his love for life did not diminish, but gave birth to deep works such as "Autumn in Tuanbowa" and "Autumn Song", which proved the power of love and art.
The dawn of 1976 illuminates history, but Du Hui and his children regret not being able to welcome Guo Xiaochuan's return - in Anyang, Henan Province, an accidental fire that claimed his 57-year-old life and his figure disappeared in the embers of cigarette butts.
Despite this, Du Hui's persistence in love has never wavered, and she is immersed in sorting out his posthumous manuscripts, depicting their affectionate chapters with words, and she has consistently poured her heart and soul into the passage of time. "
Guo Xiaochuan Research Association"Founded,"Guo Xiaochuan's former residence"The exhibition opened, and his complete works and selected poems were published one by one; Even at the age of 69, she still rode hundreds of kilometers to Tianjin to review the "Selected Books of Guo Xiaochuan's Family", just to protect the 600,000-word affectionate confession.
In 2019, Du Hui ended her nearly 100-year life, and there was only one sentence in her last wish: "I pay tribute to Marx with love and a smile......With a smile, she went to the eternal promise, and that pure love will be immortal.
Du Hui fondly remembers the literary giant Guo Xiaochuan and remembers his artistic icons.
