"There is only one life and one death in life, and it is meaningful to live and valuable to die." During those turbulent years, countless revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their blood and forged the Great Wall of revolution with a heart loyal to the motherland.
These revolutionary martyrs should be remembered, no matter how many years have passed. The famous revolutionary martyr Liu Hulan, who died heroically at the age of fifteen, wrote an inscription for him by a leading figure, and posterity was shocked by it and shed tears for it.
Her deeds are a fervent blood in the revolutionary journey. Liu Hulan has a sister Liu Ailan, who is three years younger than her, and after her sister's heroic righteousness, she is sad and misses her eldest sister with actions.
"The greatness of life, the glory of death"
In 1932, Liu Hulan was born in Yunzhouxi Village, Wenshui County, Shanxi Province, to a poor peasant family, formerly known as Liu Fulan. She is the eldest daughter in the family and has a sister Liu Ailan, who is three years younger than her.
When he was four years old, Liu Hulan's birth mother died of illness, his father remarried, and his stepmother gave birth to a daughter and two sons. Fortunately, the stepmother was very kind to Liu Hulan and Liu Ailan' sisters, and did not have the slightest partiality towards her children.
Liu Hulan has developed a smart, courageous, and neat personality since she was a child, joining the children's league at the age of ten, participating in the training class for women cadres of the CPC at the age of twelve, and after returning to the village, she and the party members mobilized the masses to fight the landlords, deliver supplies to the People's Liberation Army, and mobilize the people to join the army.
One day in 1943, when the enemy entered the village desperately to grab grain, Liu Hulan cleverly lured the enemy to the home of the evil landlord who destroyed the work and protected the interests of the villagers.
She also assisted the armed workers in eliminating the traitors, participated in the battle to regain grain, and took the initiative to go to the front line to rescue the wounded... Liu Hulan, who is a young man, is already a heroine who stands tall in the sky.
In 1946, at the age of fourteen, Liu Hulan became an alternate party member and was assigned to work as a woman in Yunzhouxi Village, where she participated in the armed action to execute the reactionary village chief. In addition, she also took the initiative to convey important information to the party organization on the grounds that she was familiar with the local terrain and young age.
In 1947, Liu Hulan and several other revolutionary masses were arrested by the reactionaries for betrayal by traitors. The enemy took them to a clearing and beat them to death with sticks in order to force them to tell them information.
Even after suffering great physical pain and facing various threats from the enemy, Liu Hulan was still unyielding, awe-inspiring in righteousness, without the slightest fear, and loudly expressed his determination to be loyal to the revolution.
The ferocious enemy killed Liu Hulan with a knife, and Liu Hulan, a revolutionary woman who was fifteen years old in the cardamom age, generously went to righteousness.
Liu Hulan was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr and an exception to be posthumously recognized as a full party member, and her deeds were published in newspapers, and several leaders called on the people of the whole country to learn from Liu Hulan's spirit.
The great man even personally wrote an inscription for Liu Hulan: "The greatness of life, the glory of death." Many people deeply miss this young heroine.
Remember the eldest sister with actions
Liu Hulan was fifteen years old when she was killed, and her sister Liu Ailan was twelve years old, and she witnessed her sister being brutally killed by the enemy with a knife at the scene, and was temporarily stimulated and fainted at the scene. For some time after that, Liu Ailan's spirit was in a trance.
The eldest sister who spent her childhood time with herself left unexpectedly, which made Liu Ailan fall into deep sadness for a long time.
After liberation, Liu Ailan wanted to inherit the legacy of his eldest sister and offered to enter the party organization work. With the approval of his superiors, Liu Ailan became a reserve party member and was transferred to the Combat Drama Society.
After Liu Hulan's sacrifice, the Battle Drama Society spent a month adapting Liu Hulan's heroic deeds into the opera "Liu Hulan", which was performed in various places, and each performance gave the audience a huge shock.
Liu Ailan and her sister looked as beautiful, with a voice, demeanor, and demeanor, so she rehearsed the opera "Liu Hulan" with the members of the drama club, playing her sister in it.
Every time she performed, Liu Ailan would think of the scene when her sister was killed that day, remember the awe-inspiring and fearless eyes of her sister at that time, and also remember the time she spent with her sister for many years, and how her sister mobilized the masses to work in the village.
Liu Ailan was in tears, and all kinds of manners and demeanor were in place, as if her sister was in her body.
Liu Ailan almost brought Liu Hulan to life, and the opera "Liu Hulan" was a great success because of her performance. Before each performance, Liu Ailan would also walk to the front of the stage and ask everyone to avenge her sister with tears in her eyes.
Every performance of the opera can make the crowd and the soldiers excited, and some fighters are even excited enough to go on stage to kill the actors who play the enemy.
Peng Dehuai, who has never loved to watch dramas, also shed tears after watching "Liu Hulan". Opera has inspired many young people to join the battlefield and played a good role in propaganda.
Liu Ailan is using performances to remember her sister, to feel and learn her precious spiritual qualities. My sister will always live in her heart.
Later years
After that, Liu Ailan was admitted to the medical school and became a nurse who saved lives and helped the injured. In 1956, Liu Ailan met his lifelong love, Si Chenguang, and the two fell in love, held hands and walked into the marriage hall together, settled in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and lived a peaceful life of mutual support.
In the later years, Liu Ailan was destined to be connected with the figure of her sister, and the art museum designed a statue for Liu Hulan and the postal department designed Liu Hulan's stamps, all of which had to look for Liu Hulan's voice and smile on Liu Ailan.
Liu Ailan has also participated in various major activities many times to publicize Liu Hulan's heroic deeds to the masses, so that her sister has always lived in people's hearts.
Liu Ailan said that after the sacrifice of the eldest sister, the parents' greatest wish is to let the younger siblings inherit the legacy of the eldest sister and make their own contributions to the motherland. The eldest sister Liu Hulan died, the second sister Liu Ailan became the biggest child in the family, and she was willing to take responsibility for the eldest sister.
Under the care of Liu Ailan, the two younger brothers successively joined the army, and later entered the military academy for further study, grew into talents, and became China's outstanding national defense scientific research talents, and the third sister Liu Fanglan also became a soldier.
Liu Ailan also took her youngest sister, Liu Fenfen, to her home in Taiyuan and personally cultivated her. Under her teaching, Liu Finn became a military doctor who saved lives in the army and was called the green flower of the army by the people's children and soldiers.
For her parents, Liu Ailan and her younger siblings gave them meticulous and meticulous care, so that they could spend a peaceful and happy old age. Before Liu Hulan's younger siblings joined the army, their parents would take them to the tomb of their eldest sister to take an oath and make a vow to dedicate their youth to the country and the people. They are all pillars of the country and contribute to the country in different ways.
Yunzhou West Village was later renamed Liu Hulan Village, and the village's primary school was also named after Liu Hulan. Liu Hulan's younger siblings do not work in their hometown.
But every year on the Qingming Festival and the anniversary of the eldest sister, they will return to the village to meet and solemnly burn incense for the eldest sister, which has not been interrupted for many years.
No matter how far they go, they say, Liu Hulan Village has always been their home. Although the life of the eldest sister Liu Hulan is short, in their hearts, Liu Hulan will always be a shining existence.
