As the saying goes, "Marriage is a woman's second reincarnation". Marrying the right person is happy for a lifetime, and marrying the wrong person is a lifetime of hardship.
So what counts as marrying the right person and what counts as marrying the wrong person? Perhaps we can understand from Zhang Mei's 2 marriages that she was known as a flower in northern Shaanxi at that time, and her two husbands were all generals with great potential.
Zhang Mei's husband in her first marriage was the famous Lin Shuai, but for Lin Shuai, Zhang Mei was his second wife, and before that, Lin Shuai's parents had already arranged a marriage for him at home.
Zhang Mei's husband in her second marriage was Xu Jiefan, who was given the rank of major general. Zhang Mei was eighteen years old when she met Lin Shuai, and by this time she had already added the revolutionary party and engaged in medical work.
Zhang Mei, who is of average age, has a certain insight and a better appearance, and in her usual life, there are many friends of the opposite sex, but she has hardly been moved until he meets Lin Shuai.
At that time, the 29-year-old Lin Shuai had already accumulated many battle achievements and was very famous, coupled with his resolute soldier image, he quickly won Zhang Mei's favor.
Soon, the two walked together, not knowing that the happy days did not last long, and not long after the marriage, Lin Shuai was sent to guide the Battle of Pingxingguan. After that, the war was a great success, and the whole country was shocked.
The next year, Lin Shuai was accidentally injured, and under the situation of long-term incurable domestic treatment, he was sent to the Soviet Union, where the diagnosis and treatment standards were relatively good.
Originally, the couple was going to go together, but Zhang Mei was unexpectedly premature on the road and was forced to stay in China. Unfortunately, this premature baby did not survive long before it died, which was also a big blow to Zhang Mei.
Later, Zhang Meiqiang endured the sadness of the death of the child and the miss of her husband and went to the Soviet Union. Because the two had been in a hurry to get married before, they were not very familiar with each other.
So after a period of coexistence in the Soviet Union, the problems between the two became more and more numerous. The two people who are more than ten years apart, one is cheerful and playful, the other has a stable temperament, and the longer they coexist, the greater the mustard of the two.
Even if they gave birth to a girlfriend together during this period, they could not save this nominal marriage. Later, Lin Zong returned to China because of war anxiety and never returned.
Until then, he brought a letter telling Zhang Mei that he had reorganized his new family and had a pair of children, and asked her to let go of herself. Zhang Mei's first marriage ended with such a tragic ending.
However, in her second marriage, she finally met the right person, and this person was Xu Jiefan. Xu Jiefan studied at the Whampoa Military Academy and was Lin Shuai's brother-
But he then added the Soviet Red Army and still married and had children there. After the death of his wife, coupled with homesickness, he returned to China.
Later, with his skillful foreign language skills, he took over the translation work of Comrade Mao Anying, who died in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. After returning from the Soviet Union, Zhang Mei re-studied medicine and worked in a hospital outpatient clinic after graduation.
By chance, Xu Jiefan, who returned home injured in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, was recuperating in this hospital outpatient clinic, and this is how the two met.
The two of them chatted very well because they had lived in the Soviet Union, and gradually after getting to know each other, he admired Zhang Mei and took good care of her.
His good friend also reminded him that Zhang Mei's former husband was Lin Shuai, but he didn't care, and that's it, the two established a new family.
After getting married, the two were very much in love, Xu Jiefan was not only considerate to Zhang Mei, but also took good care of Zhang Mei's daughter, and Zhang Mei, who had been busy for half a lifetime, finally found her own spiritual harbor.
Although Xu Jiefan's cultivation was not as good as Lin Shuai's, he also obtained the rank of major general with his own diligence, and after retirement, he and Zhang Mei have been living a simple and stable life.
Until his death at the age of 82, since then, although only Zhang Mei and her own girlfriend are left, she has not lost her love for life.
At present, Zhang Mei is already 102 years old, and she only hopes that this old man who has experienced ups and downs is physically and mentally healthy, safe and happy.
