introduction
In the history of revolutionary development, the Northern Shaanxi Soviet Region occupies an important position, and it is precisely because of her existence that the Red Army in the Long March finally has a foothold and ends the difficult feats in the military history of our army. The reason why the revolutionary fire in northern Shaanxi was ignited was inseparable from the leadership of two people, one was Xie Zichang and the other was Liu Zhidan, but it is regrettable that the two revolutionary pioneers did not wait for the day when the revolution was victorious.
"In the first month, it was the New Year, and there was a Liu Zhidan in northern Shaanxi; Liu Zhidan came as a Qing official, and he took the team up Hengshan..."
Now that more than 80 years have passed since Liu Zhidan's sacrifice, this folk song commemorating Liu Zhidan and once resounding throughout northern Shaanxi can still be praised in the world, so that everyone can always remember this hero who dedicated himself to the revolutionary cause.
When the hero died suddenly, the bad news came, and even the chairman and Premier Zhou were shocked, and soon after, a regulation was made, that is, to change the name of Baoan County, where the general was born, to "Zhidan County", which is still in use today. After the general's death, what happened to his wife, Gui Rong, and his only daughter, Liu Lizhen?
Men worthy of trust
In 1905, Tong Guirong was born in Jiuzuipo, Wuqi County, Shaanxi Province, and when she came to the world, her future husband Liu Zhidan was already two years old.
The two were able to come together not because of a common revolutionary ideal, but because of an arranged marriage.
Tong Guirong's grandfather, Xi Rui, and Liu Zhidan's grandfather Liu Shijie were friends for many years, and although their children could not come together, they hoped that their grandchildren could achieve their wishes and marry their children.
Liu Zhidan remembers that when he was ten years old, he followed his grandfather for a long way and came to the home of the same grandfather. At that time, their family was very lively, but they were all adults, only one girl younger than her, in the discussion among the adults, Liu Zhidan and Tong Guirong, who was two years younger than him, set up a "doll kiss".
At that time, Liu Zhidan was not only a well-educated intellectual youth, but also a hot-blooded boy who thought he had lofty ideals. But as a wife, Tong Guirong, whether it is knowledge or experience, does not seem to be worthy of him.
As a woman who eventually has to marry, coupled with the poor family, Tong Guirong has never been to school, and even before marriage, she did not even have a formal name. Although she has hardly seen Liu Zhidan for so many years, she is very familiar with his life development, and she has always been afraid that the other party will repent of marriage, or look down on her after marriage.
But it turns out that she married a good man who was worth entrusting for life.
After Liu Zhidan got married, he gave his wife an official name "Gui Rong", and spent a long time teaching her to know and write the names of two people. Because Liu Zhidan still has his own studies and career, he cannot often stay at home, but as long as he has time, he will go home to visit his wife, tell her what he has seen and heard outside, and say some revolutionary truths.
Under the patient explanation of her husband, Tong Guirong understood a lot of big truths. Later, Liu Zhidan rushed to Guangzhou to apply for the Huangpu Examination, participated in the Northern Expedition War, and threw himself into the revolutionary struggle, all these years he and Gui Rong served his parents at home, took care of the children, solved Liu Zhidan's worries, and let him focus all his energy on his career.
Later, after Liu Zhidan returned to his hometown to lead the revolution, his fame became more and more famous, and he also left a good reputation in the mouths of the people, and Tong Guirong has always been proud and proud of having such a husband.
Behind the honor is to make sacrifices and sacrifices.
With the rise of the revolutionary situation in northern Shaanxi, Liu Zhidan has become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the local warlords, but there is nothing he can do about him, even if a reward is issued.
When Liu Zhidan could not be caught, he arrested his family.
In 1934, the enemy shouted that even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would arrest Liu Zhidan's family. Under the cover of the neighbors, Tong Guirong took his family up the mountain to avoid the enemy's capture. But the enemy did not leave for several months, and their lives were temporarily safe, but the food was running out.
Once, when she went down the mountain with Gui Rong to find food, she encountered the enemy on the way, and she quickly fled, and the enemy chased after her. Later, when she arrived at the edge of the cliff, Tong Guirong thought that even if she jumped off the cliff and fell to her death, she could not be caught by the enemy, and her heart jumped down.
Fortunately, there was a bush cover, Tong Guirong picked up a life, when the ragged, limping Tong Guirong found his fellow villagers for help, everyone shed tears of pain, and later Liu Zhidan sent people to take his wife, children and parents to the guerrilla zone, and the life of the whole family was stable.
Under the encouragement and guidance of her husband, Tong Guirong participated in revolutionary work, and in her heart, her husband was her spiritual pillar. But she never thought that there would be a day of collapse.
On April 14, 1936, Liu Zhidan was shot and killed while commanding a battle in Sanjiao Town, and ten days later, important leaders of our party and thousands of party and government organs and the masses held a memorial meeting for him at Wayao Fort.
The sudden death of her husband hit Tong Guirong hard, and it took a long time to ease up.
After his life gradually got on the right track, Tong Guirong, in addition to taking care of his daughter Liu Lizhen, also put more energy into the revolutionary cause and undertook the organization and logistics of the fathers and daughters in the base areas.
At that time, there were many revolutionary orphans in yan'an or orphans who had lost their parents in the war, and Guirong cared for and cared for them like his own daughters, so that they could still feel the warmth and care from the mother.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she is still engaged in early childhood education, and has invested a lot of effort and energy in this regard for decades, in addition, she can read and read through learning, improve her political level, and once served as a deputy to the Fourth and Fifth National People's Congress, which is very remarkable.
There is a heroic father, and an excellent mother, daughter Liu Lizhen inherits the revolutionary tradition of her parents and grows up to become a useful talent for the construction of new China. After graduating from Shenyang Medical University at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he later went to Shanghai to study traditional Chinese medicine, and after his studies, he devoted himself to the medical cause of New China, and in his later years, he served as the president of the Affiliated Hospital of the Shaanxi Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress for three consecutive years.
