It sounds like a fantasy that a husband would not know his wife, but this really happened to The Founding Major General Zhang Xingzhong. Zhang Xingzhong, a native of Tangjiahui, Jinzhai, Anhui, was born in 1913, joined the guerrilla army at the age of 14, and officially joined the Red Army a year later. Because of his bravery in battle and many meritorious service, by 1930 he was already a company commander in the Red Army. One day at the end of the year, Zhang Xingzhong's cousin Zhang Xingyu brought him a message and asked him to come to his home, saying that there was something to discuss.
Zhang Xingzhong went to his cousin's house after dinner, and when he arrived here, he learned that his cousin came to him to let him go on a blind date. The woman's name was Wang Mingjia, she came from a landlord family, accepted progressive ideas during her studies, and longed for revolution, but her ideas were strongly opposed by her father. In order to cut off her daughter's desire to join the Red Army, her father set her a family affair, and the man was the eldest young master of the landlord's family in a neighboring village. In wang Mingjia's father's view, this is a marriage that is the right door, so he forced his daughter to marry.
Under the repeated urging of his father, Wang Mingjia decided to run away from marriage to join the Red Army. At that time, there were very few female soldiers in the Red Army, and the requirements were relatively strict, and Wang Mingjia's origin made her join the Red Army another obstacle. At that time, Zhang Xingzhong's cousin Zhang Xingyu was working in the Wang family and had a good relationship with Wang Mingjia, and after learning of her idea, he gave her an idea: marry a Red Army, become a family member of the Red Army, and then join the revolution easily. Wang Mingjia asked her who she married? Zhang Xingyu said: "I have a cousin named Zhang Xingzhong, who is now a company commander of the Red Army, who is one year younger than you, and who is very loyal, so you can meet first."
In this way, Zhang Xingzhong and Wang Mingjia met at their cousin's house, and one night three days later, Wang Mingjia hid from his family and was taken to Zhang Xingzhong's house by Zhang Xingyu, and Zhang Xingzhong worshiped heaven and earth. However, in the middle of the night, the troops suddenly came to inform them that there was an urgent task and that Zhang Xingzhong should return to the team immediately. Before leaving, Zhang Xingzhong said to Wang Mingjia: "I am a member of the Red Army, I can't help myself, and I will come back to see you when I have the chance." After saying that, he went back to the troops. General Zhang Xingzhong later recalled: "On the night of the wedding, like the first meeting, it was also a kerosene lamp, and they were not embarrassed to look at each other, but only remembered the general appearance." ”
Due to the tense war, Zhang Xingzhong never had the opportunity to go home. In September 1932, when he was fighting the enemy in Xiaogan, Hubei Province, he was wounded in the leg and was admitted to the Red Army Hospital. Zhang Xingzhong felt that she was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and he was embarrassed to ask questions because of the large number of people. More than a month later, Zhang Xingzhong was able to walk on the ground and offered to help the female nurse go to the river to wash the bandages. When the two were alone, Zhang Xingzhong asked: "Listening to the accent, you seem to be from the mall, aren't you?" She said yes, the family lives in the south of the bamboo. Zhang Xingzhong asked her what her name was, she said that her name was Wang Mingjia, and Zhang Xingzhong was sure that she was his wife who had been separated for two years. The two were happy to be reunited for a long time, but soon After Zhang Xingzhong received a new combat mission, the two separated again. A year later, Wang Mingjia was killed in an air raid by an enemy plane at the age of 21. Zhang Xingzhong participated in the later War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and was awarded the rank of major general in 1964.
