Since the period of China's modern revolution, China's women have been freed from the shackles of feudalism for thousands of years, compared with the previous days when they were not allowed to step out of the house, they could only live in a place to teach their husbands and children, the new women in modern China are more brave and independent, they shine in all walks of life, and some even pick up spears to kill the enemy on the battlefieldShe became an outstanding female revolutionary in the modern history of our country.
In 1955, an all-army award ceremony was held, and a total of 110,000 women were awarded the ranksThe highest rank is Major General, followed by Colonel.
The protagonist I want to talk about today is Lin Yueqin, who was awarded the rank of colonel at that time. Lin Yueqin was the first female colonel in New China, and she was also the wife of Marshal Luo.
Lin Yueqin is a native of Anhui, and she has formed an indissoluble bond with the revolution before she was bornBecause her father, Lin Weiyin, was an underground worker in our party.
In January 1914, a baby girl fell to the ground in a small merchant house in Jinzhai County, Anhui Province, whose head was Lin Weiyin, who made a living by dealing in daily groceries. Lin Weiyin opened his door to do business, and he had to come into contact with all kinds of people in society, plus he had studied and loved to read, so he had a wide range of knowledge and advanced thinking.
In 1927, Lin Weiyin was influenced by the revolutionary ideology and became a party member under the guidance of advanced aspirants, responsible for underground transportation liaison work, and he was the owner of a grocery storeIt's easy to cover for the organization.
Lin Weiyin secretly completed various tasks assigned by the party organization while supporting his family, and under his words and deeds, his daughter Lin Yueqin came into contact with the party's ideology early and germinated a firm revolutionary will.
In 1929, Lin Yueqin participated in the parade in the Lixia Festival Uprising and started her revolutionary career at the age of 15. She joined the Red Army at the age of 17, participated in the Long March at the age of 20, led the women sappers to prepare grain and grass and undertake logistics work, she did underground party confidential work, served as a political coordinator, and made outstanding contributions to the liberation of women, child care, medical development and basic education in New ChinaShe is a well-deserved outstanding woman in modern China.
Lin Yueqin's work ability and outstanding contributions are still praised to this day, and her two marriages are also very popular. Her first husband was the founding lieutenant general Wu Xian'en, and her second husband was Marshal Luo, one of the top ten marshals.
Lin Yueqin's facial features are upright, her appearance is delicate, her big eyes are particularly smart, and she has grown up in a strong red atmosphere since she was a child, which makes her resolute and resolute, mature and steadyStrong adaptability and critical thinking ability.
In 1929, 15-year-old Lin Yueqin studied in the county seat, and her principal was a member of the middle school, under his influence, Lin Yueqin took the initiative to participate in the women's movement workshop and came into contact with revolutionary activities for the first time.
In May of the same year, the ** county party committee launched the Lixia Festival Uprising, and Lin Yueqin, with her excellent adaptability and organizational skills, gathered many women, classmates and children to participate in the parade.
Lin Yueqin performed well in this parade, and was elected by the local people as the instructor of the county children's league, and less than half a year later, she was promoted to the director of the children's bureau of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border area, and was responsible for organizing the children's group to stand guard and help maintain stability.
Lin Yueqin works very seriously, strives to solve various problems with a fair and just attitude, and always has a positive enthusiasm for work. Even if Lin Weiyin was wrongly classified as a "landlord" and a "reorganization faction" soon after, Lin Yueqin was implicated by her father and was dismissed and sent to the "** team".He also maintained a firm and optimistic revolutionary attitude.
In 1930, the Red Fourth Army was transferred to Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the "* Team" was disbanded, and Lin Yueqin, who regained her freedom, did not hesitate to join the Red Fourth Army and organized female soldiers to follow the troops, engaged in logistics work such as medical and health care, laundry and cooking.
Lin Yueqin worked meticulously and had strong organizational skills, and successively served as a propagandist of the Political Department and the commander of a women's engineer battalion, mainly responsible for solving the problems of transporting grain, grass and ammunition and logistical supply. Due to work reasons, she met Wu Xianen, who was the quartermaster of the Red Fourth Army at the time
Wu Xianen has a very good impression of Lin Yueqin, this little girl with big eyes, always handles work in a down-to-earth and meticulous manner, and Lin Yueqin also feels that although Wu Xianen is the director, he has no shelf, he doesn't like to talk, but he is very reliable, the two gradually got acquainted with each other in their work and had a good impression of each other, and soon became husband and wife.
Before the Red Army's Long March, Lin Yueqin, who was the commander of the women's engineer battalion, had to lead nearly 500 female soldiers under her command to complete the preparation of food, clothing and medicine in a harsh environment.
While Lin Yueqin was struggling to carry out the logistics work, she strictly supervised the discipline of the barracks, showed no mercy to the visitors who trespassed on the women's camp, and also took the time to organize the female soldiers to conduct hand-to-hand capture training. Lin Yueqin's excellent work ability and rigorous and responsible work attitude have always given her a good reputation in the army. But it didn't take long for Lin Yueqin to suffer a major setback in her life.
When the Red Fourth Army was crossing the grassland, it encountered great hardships due to Zhang Guotao's targeting. In November 1936, the Red Fourth Army, which was in a difficult situation, had to break through the encirclement by dividing the east and west routes, unfortunatelyThe Western Route Army, which lacked supplies, collided head-on with the well-equipped elite.
When the bad news of the final collapse of the Red Fourth Western Route Army came when Lin Yueqin, who accompanied the army's Long March, saw the name of her husband Wu Xianen in the list of sacrifices. She was grief-stricken and reluctant to believe it until she confirmed the battle situation on the front line through Mr. Zhu's wife Kang Keqing, and then she had to accept the reality.
Since then, Lin Yueqin has been in the grief of losing her husband, and she has lost her previous spirit in life and work. Her comrade-in-arms Liu Guilan couldn't bear to see her continue to be immersed in pessimism like this, so she took the opportunity to hold a sorority of bachelors in the armyIt's good to say that Lin Yueqin was invited to attend.
Liu Guilan felt that Lin Yueqin, as the widow of a martyr, was very capable, she should not be trapped in grief all the time, she should deserve a better life, so she was very enthusiastic to find a worthy partner for Lin Yueqin.
A taciturn but very steady officer at the meeting attracted Liu Guilan's attentionThat was Luo Shuai, one of the ten marshals later, when he was still the director of the rear political department of the Military Commission.
Luo Shuai happened to sit diagonally opposite Lin Yueqin in the party, who didn't have much impression of him, but after learning his name, Lin Yueqin's eyes lit up. She thought of her revolutionary career for so many years, from the beginning of the Lixia Festival Uprising to the later ***, she always had a vague intersection with Luo Shuai.
Luo Shuai is a role model for the younger generation of revolutionaries, so when his comrades-in-arms told Lin Yueqin that Luo Shuai had a good impression of him, Lin Yueqin shyly did not refute. With the matchmaking of comrades-in-arms, Lin Luo and the two got along for half a yearfinally entered the marriage hall.
Unexpectedly, God played a joke on Lin Yueqin again, in the second month after she and Luo Shuai got married, her ex-husband Wu Xianen actually "came back from the dead" in Yan'an! It turned out that when the Red Fourth West Route Army fell into enemy shelling, Wu Xianen was not killed, but was captured.
He was imprisoned in an enemy camp and tortured before being rescued by the organization. Wu Xianen's survival is a good thingBut because of the previous oolong, his beloved wife married another, and this situation made the three of them very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Lin Yueqin was born with a hearty atmosphere, in order to solve the conflict, she planned to call out the two partners before and after, and the three of them discussed the problem together, and finally Wu Xianen took the initiative to quit and gave Luo Shuai and Lin Yueqin heartfelt blessings.
Lin Yueqin felt her own experienceSince 1947, he has been doing his best to promote the education of the children of military martyrs.
She led the preparation for the establishment of the Northeast Field Army Cadre School, and when the fighting was fierce on the front line, in order to let the sergeants have no worries, she personally went into battle to take care of the children in the school, laundry, cooking, sewing, and teaching for them. The students all respect this kind "Mother Lin".
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lin Yueqin, who has always cared for children, took the lead in preparing for the construction of Beijing No. 11 Primary School. In terms of basic education for the younger generation, Lin Yueqin integrated a new teaching concept into the education system according to the current situation of national development at that time, and never forgot to let the fine style of the People's Liberation Army penetrate into the campus.
Even though Lin Yueqin's two marriages are talked about, her own ability, struggle, and merits are enough to be worthy of the rank of colonel!
