Yang Dezhi was born in a poor family, even his family has a total of thirteen brothers and sisters, there is a single uncle, so many people rely on the rheumatism of his father and uncle to work to maintain the family, in Yang Dezhi's memory, so many brothers and sisters, and finally only he and a brother and a sister, and finally the mother also died of illness.
When Yang Dezhi was fourteen years old, he had been herding cattle at home, and he followed his brother to work in the coal mine because he was too young to let him go to the mine, and his brother was afraid that he would be bullied and did not go to the mine, so they did the work of picking coal together, suffered all the oppression and bullying, and finally secretly climbed into a coal truck and returned home.
At that time, when the Communists were leading the workers' movement in the local area, Yang Dezhi saw everything in his eyes, and for the first time he understood the truth of resistance. In the mid-to-late twenties, when Yang Dezhi was fifteen years old, he left home to look for his brother to work as a road builder, and for the sake of that meager wage, he worked there for more than a year, even if he was angry, he gritted his teeth and insisted.
After the news of the Nanchang uprising spread, the construction site also dispersed, more than two dozen road construction workers went together to join the Red Army team to fight against local tycoons, Yang Dezhi joined the army with his brother as he wished, became a Red Army soldier, and fought with his brother on Jinggang Mountain, but it was also at this time that Yang Dezhi's brother's whereabouts were unknown.
But after this, Yang Dezhi joined the Communist Party of China and became a qualified party member, and Yang Dezhi, who was brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, gradually went from a recruit to the position of regimental commander, and then Yang Dezhi led the troops to participate in the long march, until the end of the Long March, Yang Dezhi had the opportunity to take the first photo of his life.
Yang Dezhi has his first photo in his life
After the unspeakable Long March has just ended, and after life has gradually stabilized, Yang Dezhi's homesickness has begun to flood, although he has been out for nine years, but Yang Dezhi, who has now been promoted to the rank of commander of the Red Army, is just a young man in his early twenties, and homesickness is inevitable.
Taking advantage of the rest of the troops, Yang Dezhi wrote a letter to his family, and also sent his own photos back, because he was worried that the smoke of white terror would cover his family, Yang Dezhi claimed in the letter that he was doing business in Yan'an, and his sister was naturally surprised to receive the letter and photos, but this photo made her instantly afraid and quickly hidden.
Yang Dezhi also made great contributions during the Liberation War, until after the founding of New China, Yang Dezhi learned that Geng Biao, a compatriot who was also the chief of staff, wanted to take advantage of the rest of the troops to return home to visit his relatives, Yang Dezhi could no longer hold his homesickness, and then went home together to visit his relatives, and Yang Dezhi, who had been away from home for twenty-four years, embarked on the pace of returning home.
After returning home again after twenty-four years, Yang Dezhi only saw his haggard-faced sister, learned that his father and uncle had died, saw the photo in his sister's hand, and knew that his sister took out this photo for the first time, only because Yang Dezhi was wearing red army clothes in the photo, he realized that his negligence almost tired his sister, but now it is good, you can take it out and look at it at any time.
The sister with a face full of vicissitudes, like a mother, Yang Dezhi's heart is full of mixed feelings, the brother who was protected at that time is now the commander of the corps, and the sister's heart is also very complicated, but the reunion at this moment is happy.
