Jang Ying-san on the North Korean front
In 1958, at the age of 23, Zhang Yingshan transferred from the 65th Army Cultural and Industrial Troupe and was assigned to work at the Hebei Provincial Drama Theatre in Baoding, the then provincial capital. On the day of registration, as soon as she and her sisters got off the train, they saw a young, able-bodied young man waiting for them. The young man, surnamed Liang, was an officer in the Personnel Department of the Provincial Bureau of Culture, specializing in reception work. Officer Liang helped the group of cultural and labor troupe members who had just stepped off the stage to carry boxes and luggage, and they were very busy. The girls whispered to themselves: This young man is so enthusiastic!
A few months later, an old comrade-in-arms wanted to introduce Zhang Yingshan to the object, and the old comrade-in-arms said, "This person you know is the Liang officer who has received you." Zhang Yingshan had a good impression of this person, he smiled very well, and made people feel a kind of warmth from the inside out. She asked the introducer, "Is this person a party member?" After getting a positive answer, Zhang Yingshan was a little more down-to-earth in her heart, since she was a party member, it meant that the political quality was definitely good, and there would be no problem with her character. But he came from a kulak family, and the composition was a bit high. The introducer said to Zhang Yingshan: "When he joined the party, he betrayed the original class and became a member of the proletariat. Zhang Yingshan felt that it was not unreasonable and decided to talk about it first.
Liang Zhiqiang, who works in the personnel department, has long understood Zhang Yingshan's life clearly: her father is a revolutionary martyr, she herself joined the revolution at the age of 10, and her two sisters are also revolutionary soldiers, which can be described as "root and seedling red", the political conditions are impeccable, and the young and beautiful Zhang Yingshan cannot help but make Liang Zhiqiang, who is full of style, feel excited. In January of the following year, the couple of "red lovers" of the 50s were happily married, and the marriage certificate was a thin piece of paper, and the date of payment was written: January 4, 1959.
Zhang Yingshan has a legendary story: at the age of 10, she joined the Eighth Route Army with her father and became the youngest actor in the "Great Wall" drama club of the Jidong Military Sub-district of the Eighth Route Army. In the literary troupe, she learned to sing, and later learned to perform opera. After experiencing the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, in 1951, 16-year-old Zhang Yingshan went to the front line of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea with the 194th Division of the 65th Army of the Volunteer Army. On the Korean battlefield, she is a real "battlefield lark", setting a record for 9 consecutive performances in the battlefield, after the sacrifice of the special meritorious zhao xianyou, she has performed many times Zhao Xianyou martyr deeds, she is wearing a half-breasted military merit badge back to the motherland.
Stills from the movie "Heroes and Children"
The famous writer Ba Jin interviewed her unit and wrote a novel based on some real people and true events, "Reunion", which was later adapted into the movie "Heroes and Children". The protagonist Wang Cheng is based on the famous combat hero zhao Xianyou martyr of their unit, and the prototype of a regimental commander in the play is General Zhang Zhenchuan, who was the commander of the provincial military district. In the movie, Wang Fang's image, temperament, and personality are very similar to Zhang Yingshan at that time, so many comrades-in-arms, including later news media, have rumored that Zhang Yingshan is the prototype of Wang Fang. But Zhang Yingshan said in an interview: "When I watch the scene of Wang Fang performing in the movie "Heroes and Children" in the battlefield, I am always inexplicably excited, because that is the real battle scene in North Korea. First, Mr. Ba Jin interviewed Zhao Xianyou's martyrdom and did not directly interview me personally; second, Wang Fang was originally a representative of the image of countless volunteer army cultural and labor corps members, and was not exclusive to any one person. ”
After the marriage of a new life began, a new story began between the two, and this story was written for more than 40 years. They hadn't read a philosophical book on love, and they had never even pondered the two words face to face. But, like thousands of Chinese families, they have used their 42 years of friendship to confirm the purest feelings in the world. In their hearts, the two words "in love" do not only mean twilight and ear grinding, but also mean a kind of responsibility to support each other.
They have had their own busy and tense days of "Labor and Swallow Flying". At that time, Zhang Yingshan had become the "top pillar" of the provincial drama theater, often performing with the troupe, and going away for several months. His wife was busy with work, and Liang Zhiqiang took on the burden of housework. Her husband's understanding and thoughtfulness made Zhang Yingshan feel touched and guilty, and she tried her best to do more for her husband and family after work. In these ordinary and trivial things, the feelings between them are constantly consolidated and sublimated. The young Liang Zhiqiang also stood in front of the pot table from then on, and he wanted to share some of the fatigue for his wife who was busy performing. Because of their busy work, they once gave their children to others to take care of, and when the children grew up, they called their mothers "aunts". Zhang Yingshan felt that she was not too strong, sorry for the child, sorry for this family. Liang Zhiqiang always told her with his habitual smile: Overcome it, everything will be fine. This laughter became the spiritual driving force for Zhang Yingshan's life.
The Cultural Revolution was the most difficult day in Zhang Yingshan's life. Because she was classified as a "royalist", she was criticized for fighting and shaved into a yin and yang head to parade the streets. For Zhang Yingshan, who has been competitive and competitive from childhood to adulthood, and has a good face in everything, it is simply better to be humiliated by this strange shame than to die. At that time, the only support was the laughter of her husband Lao Liang.
When dragging her tired body home at the end of the daily fight, Liang Zhiqiang always greeted her at the door with his own smile, removed the big sign hanging on her chest for her, and almost every night he would soak his wife's feet and massage. Until now, Zhang Yingshan still clearly remembers that every day Lao Liang would repeat the same sentence: "The party will not wrongfully accuse us, things will be clear..."
After the end of the "Cultural Revolution", life gradually improved, zhang Yingshan was transferred to the provincial radio station literature and art department as an editor, relying on her diligent study and was also rated as the chief editor. Liang Zhiqiang also became the general secretary of the party branch of the provincial museum.
It is unbelievable to say that Zhang Yingshan has never cooked in her life in this family, and today when it comes to not cooking, Zhang Yingshan said: "Dependence was formed before. The old man had a happy smile on his face as he said this.
Although she can't cook, Zhang Yingshan is definitely a virtuous wife at home. At the end of the 1970s, Liang Zhiqiang's mother in her 80s fell and collapsed in bed, and Zhang Yingshan alone took on the burden of caring for the elderly. The elderly are incontinent, need to change diapers frequently, but there is no heating at home in winter, it is not easy to dry, for a period of time, Zhang Yingshan carries a large bag full of diapers every morning when she goes to work, goes to the unit to find a room where no one is dry, and then puts it away at night to take it home, so every day. The old man died at the age of 97, and the doctor said after seeing her body: It is a miracle that he was paralyzed for such a long time and did not have pressure sores.
Supposedly, without the burden of caring for the elderly, two of the three children joined the work, and the youngest daughter was admitted to college. Their days should have been stable, but no one expected something to happen again.
In May 1990, the youngest daughter, who was in the fourth year of college, suddenly became dizzy and vomited continuously, and the facts after the diagnosis were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day for the whole family: brain tumor! There is still a glimmer of hope that this brain tumor is benign. But everything needs to be done after surgery and pathological slides to know.
Zhang Yingshan recalled: "In the evening after the operation, the whole family eagerly waited outside the door of the hospital's pathology analysis room, and for a long time, Lao Liang came out with my familiar smile: Rest assured, it is benign! Lao Liang never told me a lie, and I was sure that my daughter had passed this hurdle. ”
For the rest of the year, he talked and laughed as usual, and personally sent his daughter back to class.
A year later, her daughter's condition suddenly deteriorated and she was suddenly half dead. Only then did Liang Zhiqiang tell his wife in tears: "The child's tumor is malignant, the doctor said at that time that he could live for at most one year, I was afraid that you could not hide it in front of the child before I did not tell you..."
This year, Liang Zhiqiang, who is not an actor, performed a realistic "play".
In May of the following year, the child was gone. "White-haired people send black-haired people", for several months, the old couple hugged their daughter's portrait and cried when no one was there. But after all, they are a strong generation that has grown up in pain and suffering, and although the children are gone, they know that their days are still long. They encouraged each other to get through this life. After returning home, they all tried their best to tell each other about the new things in the unit; the old couple who were easily reluctant to go out also traveled together. Or the words that Lao Liang said in a smile: "Everything will slowly pass." ”
After a lifetime of work, Liang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yingshan never gave themselves a birthday, and they couldn't even figure out the exact date of their birthday. On January 4, 1994, the 35th anniversary of their marriage, the children held a lively "wedding commemoration party" for them. The eldest daughter bought a big cake and 35 candles, the daughter-in-law bought a beautiful coat for her mother-in-law, and the old two, surrounded by children, looked at each other and smiled, and held hands... Zhang Yingshan said when recalling the scene at that time: "I think my good life has just begun, and I want to hold hands with him like this to complete the rest of my life." ”
In April 2001, Liang Zhiqiang felt that his heart was uncomfortable, Zhang Yingshan accompanied him to the hospital for examination, and just when she helped his wife get out of bed, he suddenly slid down his leg and never got up again...
The sudden death of her wife surprised Zhang Yingshan's originally planned second half of her life. When she woke up, she realized that no one would warm her a cup of milk before going to bed at night, remind her to take her medicine on time when she was sick...
Zhang Yingshan finally introduced affectionately: "It was the smile he left in my mind that made me stand up again." I wanted to understand: if I love him, do what he wants to see most, a happy, fulfilling life. Now, Zhang Yingshan has been hired by Hebei Television to review and watch broadcast films, and she still seriously goes to work and commutes every day, she said, "It is Lao Liang's laughter that makes me continue to smile the rest of my life." ”
