"The courage born of love is enough to resist all the loneliness in the world." —Mark Levy
How does it feel to be a red army general? The most vocal question should be the sister in the "Long March Sister Flower"!
Born in 1916, Jian Xianfo was a female Red Army soldier who participated in the Long March, her sister Jian Xianren was also a Red Army, her brother-in-law was a founding marshal, her husband was a founding general, and her son was a major general, which was definitely Miao Zhenggenhong's Red Army family. What kind of coincidence made this big son of the Red Army? This has to start with the birth experience of the first Buddha.
The dream of the revolutionary army, the heart yearns for it
His father was a businessman and his family was quite wealthy, so he received a good education from an early age, attended private school at an early age, and later went to the art teacher training class of Changsha Hengpu Girls' School. Although the Jian family is not a famous person, the Jian Xian Buddha is a well-known lady and is very knowledgeable. Among the women at that time, the Buddha was undoubtedly standing at the top of the pyramid.
Such a delicate and rich big lady has always had the dream of joining the revolution in her heart. Finally, she had an opportunity.
In 1934, when he came to the Jian family on the way to the Jian family on the way to the army, he Xianfo took the opportunity to make a request to his brother-in-law to participate in the revolution, and As soon as He Long opened his mouth, he said: "Welcome Comrade Jian Xianfo to join the Red Army!" The father of the 18-year-old Buddha joined the Red Army together with his 16-year-old brother.
I have to say that his father is very clear- and clear, several of his children have joined the Red Army, and his father has always finally made their choice without imposing interference, supporting them to contribute their own strength to the country, which is very rare, and has become the first promoter of the Red Army.
He Long set off again with his brothers and sisters, and in addition to leading them to participate in the revolution, He Long also shouldered the heavy responsibility of finding a good husband for Jian Xianfo. At that time, many of the young men in the army came from poor families, not to mention full of poetry and books, and not many even went to school.
He Long thought about it and then introduced Xiao Ke to Jian Xian Buddha, Who was not only handsome, but also from a scholarly and fragrant door, which was enough to match The First Buddha. The brother-in-law filled in a second handful of firewood for the follow-up of the Red Army.
Hard work to give birth to children, devote themselves to construction
In 1935, the 28-year-old Xiao Ke and the 19-year-old Jian Xian Buddha fell in love with each other, married and spent more than 70 years together.
During the Long March of the Red Army, Jian Xianfo was already pregnant, and in the absence of clothes and food, ordinary soldiers were still difficult to support the speed and intensity of the march, but Jian Xianfo, a female soldier with a big belly, traveled with the troops on a long journey, over the 5500-meter snowy mountains, into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of 4000 meters, and traveled in no man's land for several months, never falling behind.
Even Xiao Ke and Xiao Baosheng, the children of Jian Xianfo, were born during the Long March of the Red Army, and after giving birth, He Long asked the General Affairs Section to send soldiers to carry the Jianxian Buddha on a stretcher, but the Jianxian Buddha only sat for two days, and then he resolutely refused to sit again. Originally a month-long "confinement", the first Buddha only "sat" for two days.
Later, this weak woman took the child to complete the Long March. The female is weak, and the mother is strong. Unfortunately, the child was later sent back to his hometown and died under enemy fire.
In 1936, Jian Xianfo was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the Central Military Commission, and she used her own strengths to write slogans and paint propaganda posters on the walls with red powder paste, calling on the masses of the people to join the Red Army, and played a huge role in expanding the recruitment of the troops.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937, Jian Xianfo was transferred to Xi'an to do underground work. In that war-torn age, The Buddha showed extraordinary agility and intelligence, always able to complete tasks well.
From 1938 to 1945, he worked in the organization departments of many regions. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, he served as the deputy director of the Ministry of Fuel Industry, the deputy director of the Ministry of Electric Power Industry, the Ministry of Water Conservancy and Electric Power, and the vice minister of the Ministry of Electric Power Industry, and devoted his life to the construction and development of the country.
A Red Army, a hundred years old and long-lived
Xiao Ke was named the founding general after the founding of the country, and later gave birth to a child Xiao Xinghua with Jian Xianfo, although the husband and wife are not ordinary people, but quite frugal, the government once paid for them to decorate the house, but the couple refused, indicating that the place where they live has been much better than most people, and the decoration money is left for people who need it more.
If the first two pushes of the family are all external forces of the Red Army, this third time is definitely from Xiao Ke and The First Buddha themselves. His son Xiao Xinghua was deeply influenced by them, and his life has always been very thrifty, often wearing his father's remaining small patches covered with large patches, and almost no new clothes.
This poor boy, who was very rich in thought, grew up and entered Peking University to study, and was later transferred to the armed police force and awarded the rank of major general.
After the founding of the country, his brother-in-law was named the founding marshal, and his sister Jian Xianren later went to the Soviet Union to study. In the course of her life, her brother-in-law and sister had a profound influence on her, one led her to the road of the Red Army and gave her a lot of care, and the other ignited the flame of joining the Red Army in her heart, supporting her through the most difficult years and giving her strength.
Jian Xianfo repeatedly confessed that her sister's influence on her was very deep, during the Long March, the early stage of birth of The Buddha, the stomach hurt so much that she could not ride a horse, and the sister Jian Xianren helped her to go deep into the grass to prepare for production, and comforted her while walking: "There is a sister, don't be afraid." Hope is ahead. "
When her 96-year-old sister passed away in 2004, she cried and complained: "Without my sister, I don't know how to spend a woman's life and death on the grass." My sister always hangs me on the tip of her heart, cares about me, takes care of me. Sister, I haven't done enough to be your sister! "
In 2008, Shaw also left her at the age of 102. Husband and wife are both centenarians, the sister is also nearly a hundred years old before the death, out of the early twenties died on the battlefield brother, this family in addition to the Red Army, but also very long-lived, it can be seen that grinding people is not experience and events, time to destroy people has never been the body but the mind, if you are optimistic, even from the hard years, you can still move towards the new century.
The Buddha is still alive, 104 years old, living in an old and simple courtyard house in Beijing, living a quiet and uneventful life. This old man, nourished by love, even though her husband has long gone, is full of strength to resist loneliness.
