The love of the war years is the most regrettable, and how many couples who are happy with each other have not been able to reach the end because of the war. The love story between China's founding general Xu Shiyou and his first wife, Zhu Ximing, is such a sad story.

In that year, Xu Shiyou returned to his hometown of Hubei after completing his martial arts career at the Shaolin Temple, threw himself into the peasant movement led by our party, and began to serve as the leader of the local peasant volunteer brigade, officially embarking on the road of revolution.
For Xu Shiyou's mother, she does not care about her son's work, she just hopes that her grown son can start a family as soon as possible. Soon he found a woman from a neighboring village named Zhu Ximing for Xu Shiyou. Zhu Ximing, born in 1901, although he is 4 years older than Xu Shiyou, he is born beautiful and very industrious.
Although Xu Shiyou had a good feeling for this woman, he did not reach the point of talking about marriage. However, seeing that his mother was so anxious about starting his own family, the filial piety Xu Shiyou also agreed to his mother. So in 1924, he married Zhu Ximing back home. After marriage, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, and the little life is very happy.
However, the happy time is always short-lived, and after only a few days of sweet days, Xu Shiyou received an order from his superiors to send him to fight in other places. For the sake of the revolution and the future of the motherland, Xu Shiyou could only bid farewell to his wife and mother and go to the front. In the years that followed, Xu Shiyou, who had been fighting outside, had little time to spend with his wife and could only occasionally find time to get together.

In 1932, Xu Shiyou left the Eyu-Anhui base area with his troops and transferred to Sichuan and Shaanxi. At that time, Xu Shiyou's eldest son, Xu Guang, was just under three years old. Xu Shiyou, who was reluctant to say goodbye to the family, did not expect that this farewell would be 17 years. Since then, Xu Shiyou's mother and wife have never heard from him again.
It was not until after the liberation of the whole country that they saw Xu Shiyou's name in the newspaper. Xu Shiyou personally took his mother to Jinan, but there was no way to reunite with Zhu Ximing again.

Mother Xu, who could not bear to let her daughter-in-law stay alone in an empty house, had already asked Zhu Ximing to remarry. Xu Shiyou, who thought that his family had been killed in the frenzied revenge of the Kuomintang reactionaries, also formed a new family.
He did not expect that the family was still alive and well, and he did not expect that all this was the credit of Zhu Ximing's years of hard work. It's just a pity that the feelings can't go back
