This year marks the 76th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and people after the martyrs once said: "Commemorating revolutionary martyrs is not to show off their ancestors, but to show off their attitude as descendants of the Chinese nation, and also to let Japanese politicians who are unwilling to admit their mistakes know that they need to face history squarely!" ”。 From the past to the present, looking at the world, here is the new history of the world, specializing in people and events. Today we want to say that there is such a heroic martyr descendant, which needs to be remembered with a lifetime, and she is the descendant of the famous anti-Japanese hero Zhang Zizhong- Zhang Lianyun.
Zhang Lianyun is Zhang Zizhong's third child, the second brother Zhang Lianjing died of typhoid fever while training at the Whampoa Military Academy at the age of 17, and the eldest brother Zhang Lianzhen has a total of 7 children. For ten years after the death of General Zhang Zizhong, his children and grandchildren held a memorial ceremony every Sunday, and they faced the portrait of General Zhang Zizhong and recited the family training to tell the enemy who did not want to admit mistakes: As the descendants of the Chinese nation, we have not forgotten history!
Recalling the news of Zhang Zizhong's sacrifice: In May 1940, Zhang Lianyun's family saw the news of his father's death in the Shanghai "Declaration", but the naïve Zhang Lianyun thought that his father must have won the battle, and was rumored by Japan that he died. A few days later, Zhang Lianyun's uncle and brother and sister-in-law all went to her room together, and in the sad and dreary atmosphere, the uncle told Zhang Lianyun: "Your father has been martyred in the battle on the front line!" Zhang Lianyun heard that it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she was still looking forward to her father's triumph, and she could do a lot of filial piety to her children, but now she was waiting for the bad news of sacrifice.
At that time, the mother was still in the hospital because of the terminal stage of cancer, and after learning that her husband Zhang Zizhong was martyred, she was devastated and died of hunger strike for seven days. Mother Li Minhui's "martyrdom" is not only for her husband, although she is an old woman without culture, she deeply understands the weight of the word "home country". Her husband was martyred, and she also used her own death to express her love and loyalty to the country and her husband, and at the same time encouraged more anti-Japanese soldiers to bravely kill the enemy!
But for Zhang Lianyun, who was only 18 years old at the time, it was undoubtedly a low point in her life, after burying her mother, she and her family cried on the spot, and the huge pity made her feel that she was not only tears in her eyes, but also blood in her heart. But life needs to go on, and her father's teachings before she died are still ringing in her ears to make her strong and alive.
And Zhang Lianyun also gave his father a long face! She was first admitted to Fudan University, and after graduation, she used the hutong No. 4 mansion left by her father to run the Zizhong School, and the children studying in this school are mostly poor families, and those who are really difficult will be reduced by tuition fees.
This year, Zhang Lianyun is 98 years old, but like an old naughty boy, he is dashing and relaxed, and he still participates in calligraphy learning after retirement, and communicates with people energetically and talkatively. And she also relied on her father's memory and her own experience to record her father's heroic resistance life, providing fruitful materials for future generations to remember the old revolutionaries, so that future generations can learn from history and forge ahead!
