I believe that everyone must have seen these small stories such as "Wang Erxiao" and "Stubborn Little Red Army", during which countless heroic little soldiers were born, and at a young age, they showed the precious spirit of the Red Army with their own actions. The name of the protagonist we are going to talk about today is Wang Xinlan, who was also a hero of the little scarf.
Born in 1924, she was the wife of founding general Xiao Hua. It is still alive today.
She embarked on the path of revolution at the age of nine and became the youngest female propagandist in the Political Department of the Red Fourth Front. In 1935, when she was only 11 years old, she was not afraid of hardships, and took the initiative to sign up for the Long March of the Red Army, and from then on she began her twenty-five thousand miles of journey, because she had to climb snowy mountains and face dangerous swamps during the journey, because she was too young and a girl, she could only climb it by pulling the horse's tail. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, she never thought of giving up, and finally successfully arrived at the base area in northern Shaanxi.
After the founding of New China, Wang Xinlan also received due commendations at the age of 31, was awarded the rank of colonel, and received the Order of August 1 of the Third Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the Third Class, and the Liberation Medal of the Third Degree, and she dedicated her life to the revolution.
And it is precisely because of such a brave revolutionary ancestor that we have a happy life today, and she deserves to be remembered by our descendants.
In 1985, Wang Xinlan officially retired, living with his children, and three years later won the second class Red Star Meritorious Medal of Honor, and now the 93-year-old man has also looked down on everything, likes to read newspapers every day, enjoy the joy of the world, and his spirit is also very good.
