introduction
In 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression ushered in a situation of full-scale outbreak, in that special era of war and chaos, only the true feelings of the world can soothe people's hearts, many love stories have been widely spread since ancient times, the war is raging, and each other is concerned about each other, but the communication is not very developed, and only letters can be sent to express the mood inside.
After the July 7 Incident, the first team to start an all-out war of resistance was the Air Force, and in the Air Force team, such a team, they wore red flight suits, and the planes they flew were painted red, they were the "Red Samurai" team, and Liu Chugang was one of them. But what we want to talk about today is not the heroic miracles on the battlefield and the blood spilled, but the precious children's love of that special era, which is a touching and profound love story.
Encounters on the train
Liu Pugang and his later wife Xu Xilin's ancestral home is Anhui, and their fate is not only this, the encounter between the two people is very wonderful. The two of them often took the same train, and Liu Chugang had encountered this girl with outstanding temperament and good looks several times, and was impressed by her, but Xu Xilin never seemed to pay attention to him. After many encounters, Liu Pugang finally made up his mind to get in touch with Xu Xilin, and after many inquiries, he finally knew the name of the girl he liked, so he began a long journey of letters. Liu Pugang couldn't wait to write the first love letter to Xu Xilin, but Xu Xilin's side was not lacking in suitors, and she had not been moved, for Liu Pugang's love letter, she was not moved at first, but out of the nature of the teacher, she picked out many of the typos, and then put it aside.
Liu Pugang did not sullen because he did not get Xu Xilin's response, but insisted on writing to Xu Xilin, and gradually, Xu Xilin learned from his heart what kind of person Liu Pugang was, and gradually there were many resonances between them, and Liu Pugang's patriotic feelings also deeply touched her. Liu Pugang is a pilot, Xu Xilin is a principal, whenever Liu Pugang flying training through Xu Xilin's school, he will deliberately show his skills, just so that Xu Xilin can be happy to see.
Although Xu Xilin already had a good feeling for Liu Xigang, the relationship between the two had not progressed further, until Liu Chuigang graduated from the aviation school and was sent to other places, and he would be farther and farther away from Xu Xilin, but Liu Xigang could rest assured that Xu Xilin would buy a pen to send to Xu Xilin as a gift before leaving, but soon after Liu Pugang received a package sent by Xu Xilin, which contained a scarf she had personally knitted, embroidered with the words "Zhuangzhi Lingxiao", which made Liu Pugang ecstatic. The two finally established a relationship.
The trick of life and death
Liu Pugang's identity is special, such a war years he has to fight on the battlefield at any time, always ready to dedicate his life to the motherland, so his love affair with Xu Xilin is wandering, full of unknown worries. Not only were the two worried about this, Xu Xilin's father was even more worried about his daughter's marriage, but Xu Xilin persuaded his father not to worry, "life and death have a fate and wealth in heaven", and the Xu family also officially accepted this son-in-law.
But things are uncertain, and unfortunate fate is always heartbreaking. Liu Pugang's superb technology has defeated countless enemies on the battlefield, and although Liu Pugang did not sacrifice himself on the battlefield, he also sacrificed his life with glory. Liu Pugang received the task and wanted to rush to Taiyuan Airport for support, but when his formation sailed into Shanxi, it could not find any trace of Taiyuan Airport under the vast night sky, so he had to return, but the oil volume of the plane was about to run out, and he could only prepare for a forced landing. Liu Pugang first dropped the only remaining flare to guide his teammate's plane, and then he flew the plane alone in the dark night, under the dark night sky, Liu Pugang seemed to see the "indicator" of the airport, so he flew towards it, only to fly closer to find that it was the lights on the upper floor of Gaoping City, and Liu Pugang, who was too late to dodge, crashed into the city tower and died on the spot, only 25 years old.
Xu Xilin, who learned the news, was devastated and tried to commit suicide without success, and Xu Xilin, who was rescued, received a letter from Liu Pugang, in which Liu Xilin instructed Xu Xilin to take good care of himself if he was unfortunate to die, and in order to obey Liu Pugang's instructions, Xu Xilin decided to live well.
The separation of the two places in the Straits
Later, Xu Xilin married a pilot and the family moved to Taiwan. In the 1990s, Xu Xilin crossed the Taiwan Strait to visit Liu Pugang and greet him. "But let the Dragon City fly in, do not teach Humadu Yin Mountain", this is Xu Xilin's last words left to Liu Chugang.
Xu Xilin finally left the continent where she was born and grew up, and also left Liu Pugang, but this sincere feeling I think she will remember in her heart for a lifetime, and that hot-blooded and masculine Liu Pugang must always be alive and bright in her heart.
