"The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has been unswerving to the end, the enemy army will not withdraw from the border for a day, and the Sichuan army will not return to its hometown for a day!" This comes from the mouth of Liu Xiang, a famous general in Sichuan, who experienced quite a legend in his life, and he occupied one side, participated in the warlord melee, division, annexation, etc. in Sichuan for a long time, and stood side by side with Yang Sen, Liu Wenhui (Liu Xiang's uncle) and other forces; and after the outbreak of the War of Resistance, Liu Xiang deeply felt that the past "battle achievements" were too humiliating, and insisted on leading troops to the front to command the War of Resistance.
In general, Liu Xiang performed well in the War of Resistance against the Enemy, but he failed to witness the victory of the War of Resistance and died in 1938 in Hankou. However, his will has always inspired countless Sichuan warriors. When people talk about Liu Xiang's life, they will always unconsciously think of his uncle Liu Wenhui and others, although they are "flesh and blood of the family", their concepts can not be brought together.
For example, at that time, many warlords, including Liu Xiang's uncles, were keen to marry their aunts, but Liu Xiang did not take a concubine until his death, he only married a village girl as a wife, and the two loved each other for a lifetime. For this reason, many people privately say that Liu Xiang is a "rake ear" - "rake ear" is a unique word in Yungui and other places in Sichuan, which translates to "wife management strictly", which means that men are afraid of the inside and afraid of their wives.
In the old days, powerful men married no more aunts and wives, as if they were outliers. There are many warlords in Sichuan, and Yang Sen is a representative who is keen to marry his aunt's wife, and at the age of 90, he also marries young female college students, and even uses military law to discipline his aunts and wives. The exception was Liu Xiang, the "King of Sichuan", whose wife was named Zhou Yushu, who was not highly educated and had an average appearance.
Moreover, the name Zhou Yushu was also used after she married Liu Xiang, and before that, she did not even have a name of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er. Zhou Yushu's marriage to Liu Xiang was promoted by Liu Xiang's parents, who thought that finding a strong girl as a daughter-in-law could support the Liu family portal. Zhou Yushu is diligent and fast, and he is a good hand in working in the field, and he is virtuous and capable.
It's just that in the eyes of others, Zhou Yushu doesn't look like a warlord lady at all, first of all, she doesn't understand foreign dress. At that time, there was a popular joke that Liu Xiang's subordinates took their aunt and wife to find Mrs. Liu Xiang one day, and when they entered the door, they asked the servant woman who was crouching there to wash clothes: "Where is the commander's wife?" The servant woman looked up, "I am the Commander's wife, what do you want to do with this little goblin in the door?" ”
This joke has been circulating for a long time, and everyone can't imagine that Liu Xiang's wife will be so grounded, usually wearing rough clothes and personally doing the work of a servant woman, so that people can't see her identity. And Zhou Yushu also has one of the most significant features, she is not accustomed to the behavior of those men marrying their aunts, if someone sends beauty to Liu Xiang, Zhou Yushu will be greatly angry and immediately ask Liu Xiang for guilt.
Once, Liu Xiang's subordinates may not be accustomed to the style of the wife, deliberately fabricating rumors that Liu Xiang wanted to take in beautiful female students, and as a result, Zhou Yushu directly ran to Liu Xiang's office to smash things, Liu Xiang was angry, chased after her, and as a result, he who was a soldier could not chase Zhou Yushu, but Zhou Yushu turned around to wipe his sweat for the tired, so that the subordinates watched the liveliness, and they couldn't bear to laugh very hard.
Despite this, Liu Xiang still only loved Zhou Yushu alone, and if he really wanted to take a concubine, I'm afraid Zhou Yushu couldn't stop it. After all, Zhou Yushu gave birth to 3 sons and 1 daughter for him, and he worked hard and thriftily to manage the housework and support Liu Xiang's education cause, outsiders look as if Liu Xiang was managed to death by his wife, who knows if Liu Xiang is happy in it? Among the many warlords, Liu Xiang's loyalty to marriage is rare.
