Northwestern army family members: "My daughter and Zhang Zizhong's daughter, Sun Lianzhong's daughter are all from this group"
On May 8, 1923, I was born in the military camp next to the Nanyuan Airport in Beijing, my original name was Han Zihua, and after I joined the army in 1949, I found that General Feng Yuxiang's management methods and methods of leading the army were somewhat similar to those of the Red Army and the People's Liberation Army, and my family members could accompany the army under permitted conditions. Officers above the commander of the Northwest Army battalion can take their families, send them to safety during the war, and then pick them up again during the armistice, about 1922, General Feng Yuxiang went from Henan to Beijing for a period of stability, and the families of the Northwest Army also came to Beijing, so the Northwest Army added a wave of children, and I belonged to this group, like Zhang Zizhong's daughter Zhang Lianyun and Sun Lianzhong's daughter Sun Huishu.
After that, when our children of the Northwest Army meet, they will ask you which wave you are, I will answer the Nanyuan group, very interesting, like my eldest brother Han Sizheng, he is the first wave, born in Changde next to the Yuanjiang River, but the Northwest Army has been stationed there for almost two years, the family has passed, the brother was born here, born in 1921 belongs to the Changde group, I am the second wave, in 1923 at Nanyuan Airport; after another year or two, 1924, there was a truce, the army was stationed in Beijing again. The family members of the army came to Beijing again, and there was a third wave, born in 1925, also at Nanyuan Airport, and my brother Han Sihui belonged to this wave.
My mother took me to fight with my father and led the soldiers to fight, going around, Feng Yuxiang's wife Liu Dezhen ran a Yude girls' school among the families of the army, my mother Gao Yizhen did not go to school, the words recognized here, barely able to read a newspaper is no problem, this school is half-work and half-reading, there are weaving socks machines, the mother seems to be assigned to weave socks, since it is a family member of the army, my mother and I will follow the army, naturally we can not go to school normally.
I did not go to a regular primary school, are relatives to teach me to read, uncle and uncle became my initial enlightenment teacher, and then the military family went to Zhengzhou with the army, Shi Yousan invited a tutor, our family has no money, the station is not far from Shi Yousan's family, the family consulted, my mother and Shi Yousan's wife have a very good relationship, I went to Shi Yousan's family and Shi Yousan's son to buy a piece of literacy, remember every morning, I carried a small school bag by myself, ran to Shi's house to read, my primary school time can be said to be sloppy, not serious and formal.
