At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, at a meeting, Marshal Chen Yi met the architect Liang Sicheng, and Marshal Chen Yi said to Liang Sicheng: "At that time, I had two special soldiers under me, one was Liang Qichao's daughter and the other was Zhang Taiyan's son. ”
The daughter of Liang Qichao mentioned by Marshal Chen Yi was Liang Sining, that is, Liang Sicheng's sister.
Liang Sining is the youngest daughter of Liang Qichao and studied at Nankai University in her early years.
On July 29, 1937, Japanese aircraft dropped bombs on Nankai University, and Lin Yutang had such a description in his novel "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds": At more than 2:00 a.m. on July 29, the tianjin urban area was full of gunfire, in addition to the concession, the Chinese area was bombed by aircraft, especially the Nankai University located in the suburbs was the focus of bombing, a ruin, the fire spread in the urban area, a sea of fire.
In this way, Liang Sining was forced to drop out of school.
Liang Sining later recalled: "After the bombing of Tianjin, the Japanese army and the "two devils" acted in Tianjin, and the young girls could not escape the fate when they saw them. Where did Liang Sining dare to go out casually, he had to stay at home in the Italian concession every day, hoping to one day break through this cage.
Not far from her house, there was a lonely tin warehouse. Sometimes sitting at home, you can hear the screams coming from inside, which is creepy and deeper, which deepens Liang Sining's curiosity about the warehouse.
One summer night, Liang Sining was walking with her mother, and suddenly someone pulled on her coat, and her voice said hoarsely: "Lady, Miss, do a good job!" She looked down, it was a disabled person, and her mother asked him, "What are you?" How did it get to this point? It turned out that he was a college student, the school was bombed, and he wanted to find a job, but inadvertently approached the tin warehouse, and out a few Japanese people forced him inside, making him kneel on a red-hot oil drum, his knees were quickly charred, and when he woke up, his legs had become a right triangle and he could no longer stand up. It turned out that the warehouse was a killing ground for experimenting with new torture devices. After hearing this with her mother, she burst into tears, gave the young man some money, and hurried home. After returning home, she wrote to Liang Siyi: "I can't stand the life of a slave to the country anymore, so help me 'escape' out." ”
The third sister Liang Siyi quickly wrote back and said: "A good opportunity has come, Wang Ruolan is now in Tianjin, you must personally go to the interview." ”
Wang Ruolan is a classmate of the third sister Liang Siyi, and also the student leader of the demonstration at Yenching University, and is known as the "Three Jies of Yanjing" along with Liang Siyi.
When Wang Ruolan saw Liang Sining, she looked at her small and weak appearance, afraid that she would not be able to bear hardships, so he asked: "Revolution is not a game, the minimum condition is that you are not afraid of death, not afraid of suffering, not afraid of tiredness, you have to march for a long time, you often have no food to eat, there is a possibility of sacrifice in battle, can you bear it?" ”
Liang Sining said, "Yes, can it be more bitter than being a slave to the subjugated country?" ”
In this way, in 1940, the 24-year-old Liang Sining officially joined the New Fourth Army, worked in the headquarters of the 123 detachment of the New Fourth Army, and joined the Communist Party of China the following year.
In the Field Service Corps, Liang Sining's main job was propaganda. She was new and excited about everything here. She also said, "Where is there such a unit?" Everyone was very equal in meetings and meals, and there was no distinction between officers and soldiers in life, which was not at all the same as the Kuomintang troops; they also sang and danced all day, full of vitality and passion. ”
In the Field Service Corps, Liang Sining works hard and enjoys the achievements and satisfaction that this job brings her.
The life of the field service group is tense and full, and every time the team goes to a new place, the service group must quickly penetrate into the life of the local people, and must have a deep understanding of all the local conditions, especially the local enemy struggle. Then, on the basis of the first-hand materials at hand, they were quickly compiled into literary and artistic programs that the common people liked to hear about the anti-Japanese resistance, anti-exploitation, and anti-oppression, and performed among the common people. Because the materials for the performance are well prepared, true and vivid, and the story is extremely disseminated, the performance is very popular with the people everywhere it goes.
Although AFS did not fight on the front lines, the danger did not divert them. One night in May 1940, while passing through the road in the enemy-occupied area, he engaged a Japanese patrol in a head-on exchange, and Liang Sining's good comrade-in-arms Comrade Li Min was unfortunately killed after being shot several times.
Liang Sining witnessed for the first time that his comrades-in-arms who lived together day and night fell on his side... Later, for a long time, Liang Sining could clearly remember the scene at that time, which made her hate and pain! At the same time, it also made her understand the full meaning of what her sister Liang Siyi had told her before leaving, "to enter is to live, to retreat is to die".
In July 1940, Zhu Kejing, the commander of the Field Service Regiment, took Liang Sining and three other female comrades to the home of Li Mingyang, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Sulu-Anhui Guerrilla Command. During the banquet, Li Mingyang's wife asked Liang Sining: "Your father is a celebrity in modern history, you are a big girl, how can you be willing to leave your comfortable home and come out to beg for food?" Liang Sining said: "Now this family is even better than the original family, comrades are full of spirits, united and fighting, to say bitter, there is no more bitter than being a slave to the country." ”
Liang Sining's answer was so sonorous and powerful! Let the people present be moved!
It is said that at that time, Comrade Chen Yi often came to the service group to inspect the work, and Liang Sining later recalled: "Mr. Chen did not have the slightest shelf, like a parent asking long and short questions, there was no distance between comrades, and everyone could not meet and kiss very much." ”
In the field service corps, Liang Sining has found a lover who accompanies him all his life while enriching his work. On May 1, 1946, Liang Sining married Zhang Ke, director of the Shandong Agricultural Guidance Institute, and has gone through more than half a century hand in hand.
In 1948, under the influence of the "Left" trend of thought, Liang Sining was expelled from the party and was wronged for 35 years! In the past 35 years, Liang Sining has endured many unfair treatment, suffering and suffering, not to mention, more is the indifference and misunderstanding of others...
Fortunately, Zhang Ke has always guarded her side and never abandoned. Always giving her the courage to analyze the current situation again and again when she was disappointed and sad, helping her to re-establish her life, they always believed that mistakes would one day be corrected.
It was not until 1982 that Liang Sining was finally rehabilitated. Mr. Zhang Ke said that no political party in history has corrected its mistakes like the Communist Party, and our political party is full of hope.
How fortunate Liang Sining is, the two most important men he has met in his life are people who have faith in their hearts and love in their eyes, whether it is his father Liang Qichao or his lover Zhang Ke.
