The child asked: Why is it too late to return? Who fights for the years and wins the sideburns? - Du Mu
In China, family affection is seen as particularly important. As the saying goes: what is not clear is that the parents are short, and what cannot be solved is the flesh and blood relatives. In this world, those who have no reservations about themselves should be their own parents. As parents, everyone wants to do everything we can to love their children; as children, we also want to use practical actions to let our parents live in peace in their old age.
But there are too many sorrows and joys in this world and the separation of wives and children out of all kinds of helplessness. Helpless to be separated from flesh and bones, helpless to accompany growth, helpless to accompany them to age.
Especially in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, civil wars continued, and people were scattered in the midst of war, some of them scattered in order to escape for their lives, and since then they have gone their separate ways. In order to defend their homeland, some people have to leave their wives and children and have no time to take care of them.
There was once a soldier who had not seen his father since he was a child, and his father was only a picture left by him in that year, but nevertheless, his appearance was still deeply imprinted in his mind, so that many years later, when he saw the picture of the commander-in-chief in the newspaper, he pointed out and said: This is my father who has not seen each other for 22 years, and people suddenly realize.
What exactly is the reason for the father and son to be separated for 22 years? The son can only learn about his father from the newspaper?
He was the son of the founding general
Deng Xianshi was the son of the founding general Deng Hua. Many people only know that Deng Hua's eldest son is called Deng Sui, but in fact, Deng Sui was born to Deng Hua and his second wife. His original wife was named Qiu Qing'e, and not long after Deng Shixian was born, Deng Hua joined the army for the country, so Deng Xianshi had not seen his father since he was a child.
Deng Hua was born in Hunan in 1910, when he was young, his family belonged to the Shuxiang Mendi, Deng Hua's education has not fallen, since he was a child to private school, middle school, and then entered the South China University of Political Science and Law.
At the age of 15, he followed the orders of his parents and married Qiu Qing'e. In fact, Deng Hua was not yet an adult at that time, and the feelings between the two could not be discussed much. However, after a period of getting along, they also lived in harmony.
Soon after the marriage, his wife became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and Deng Hua named him Deng Xianshi. Deng Hua joined the Chinese Communist Party at the age of 17. In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the Shonan Uprising, Deng Hua left his wife and children to participate in the uprising. When he left, his son was still young, and in order to let the mother and son have a thought, he left a photo.
It may be this photo that supports the image of Deng Hua's father in Deng Xianshi's heart.
After the end of the Shonan Uprising, Deng Hua followed the troops to Jinggangshan and successively served as officers in different party committee organizations. Successive wars made Deng Hua unable to take care of his wife and children in his hometown, and until Qiu Qing'e died of illness in 1938, he could not see her for the last time.
In the war years, I was always involuntary. After Qiu Qing'e's death, Deng Hua tried several times to take care of his son Deng Xianshi, but due to various reasons of war and uncertainty, he has not been able to achieve it. Deng Xianshi also grew up alone under the care of the villagers.
Perhaps because of his father, Deng Xianshi, who grew up, did not hesitate to join the army. Some of them are always free providence in the dark, perhaps when Deng Xianshi joined the army, he also thought that one day he might meet his father on the battlefield.
Father and son have been separated for 22 years
After the end of the agrarian revolution, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out. Deng Hua joined the battle non-stop. He participated in the famous Battle of Pingxingguan and led the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region to open up anti-Japanese base areas. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he served as the political commissar of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia-Jin-Sui Joint Defense Army.
I thought that after the war, I would have time to find my son. But then the War of Liberation began again, and Deng Hua had to go to the battlefield again.
In the Liberation War, Deng Hua participated in the war many times, regardless of his experience, Deng Hua became the deputy commander of northeast security from an ordinary soldier, first to the deputy commander of northeast security, and then to the commander of the Liaoxi Military Region. After the victory of the Liberation War, he served as the commander of the Guangdong Military Region. During his revolutionary career for many years, he became acquainted with his second wife, Li Yuzhi.
Despite this, his heart has not forgotten that he has a son in his hometown, and his life and death are uncertain.
Similarly, Deng Xianshi, who did not receive his father's care since childhood, understood at a young age that his father's departure was to serve the country. Perhaps in order to maintain the same pace as his father, Deng Shixian also joined the army early in adulthood.
Sometimes life is always full of drama, who can think that the once parting is 22 years of time, who can think that after more than 20 years of separation, after experiencing a rain of bullets and bullets, father and son are safe in the world, just through a newspaper photo, it has built a bridge for The Tang father and son to meet.
Dramatic reunion
The first war of liberation after the founding of New China was in Guangdong. Deng Hua, who was then the commander-in-chief of the 15th Corps in Guangdong, ended the battle in a victorious end in just twelve days.
The victory of the Guangdong Liberation War heralded a new vision of New China. The victory in this battle also excited the people of the whole country. Many domestic newspapers reported one after another, and attached the photo of Commander Deng Hua to the headlines of the newspaper.
As a soldier, Deng Xianshi naturally saw the reports in the newspapers, and when he looked at the people in the photos, he couldn't help but think a lot. Pulling out the old photos left by his father when he left, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his father, whom he had always thought had been sacrificed, was now the founding general of the country.
The excitement made him unable to express his feelings for a while. He pointed to Deng Hua in the photo and said to his company commander: He is my father who has not seen each other for 22 years!
The company commander thought he was joking, so he smiled and said, "Don't think about it, he is the founding general Deng Hua Commander, how can it be your father?" Later, after Deng Xianshi's narration, the company commander was also a little incredulous, if it was really as Deng Xianshi said, then this matter must be known to Commander Deng Hua.
Through layers of reporting, the fact that his son recognized his father through the newspaper finally reached Deng Hua's ears. Knowing that his son was still alive and a warrior, Deng Hua was thrilled. He immediately rushed to Deng Xianshi's unit.
Exactly 22 years later, Deng Xianshi saw that the father in front of her was no longer the same as in the photos of that year, but he was more resolute and powerful than in the photos. Similarly, Deng Hua felt guilty when he saw his son who had not received any care from him.
There can be several 22 years in life, born in a war-torn era, and the father and son have missed too much time with each other. Fortunately, the founding of New China, the country is also stable, they are all in and through the ups and downs of each other to recognize each other, flesh and blood, no matter how far apart the ends of the earth, fate will always through a special way, let them find each other.
For Deng Hua, he was extremely lucky. The victory in the Great War calmed the hearts of the people of Guangdong, found his son, and stabilized his heart.
brief summary:
As the saying goes: drama comes from life. There are some fates in life that are really unclear and unclear. This somewhat ingenious historical story, let us realize that flesh and blood affection is no matter how long it takes, it is like a high-flying kite, freely pursuing in the wind in the high sky, but no matter how far you go, there is always a line that firmly holds you and takes you to the direction it guides.
On the other hand, it also makes us deeply feel the self-sacrifice and greatness of revolutionary fighters in the years of war and chaos. Who doesn't want a harmonious family reunion? Who doesn't want their children and grandchildren to share the world? But the times do not allow, there is no everyone, where there is a small home.
Therefore, we should be thankful to be born in an era of peace. Cherish the ordinary life that the whole family is in front of you. These were all the heroes of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, who exchanged their broken families for it. We are grateful to them for sacrificing their egos and fighting for us to have a happy life today.
From today onwards, don't blame your parents and brothers for a little thing, and don't think about how to get rid of your parents' nagging and live alone. You know, those who have lost their parents are more than one time they want to be nagged.
There is nothing more worthy of our protection than "together".
