preface
Figure He Jian
In 1929, He Jian officially left his hometown to join the army and began a decades-long revolutionary career, during which his various performances were very prominent, daring to break through, heroic and fearless, and constantly promoted by the organization.
In 1931, He Jian accepted the organizational transfer and became Xu Xiangqian's guard, in the following many wars, he was not afraid of danger, bravely moved forward, even if he was seriously injured, he still persevered to the end, making countless contributions.
After the founding of New China, He Jian finally had time to go back to visit his mother, and she watched her son who had returned to his hometown and directly raised his hand and slapped it.
He Jian returned to his hometown to visit his mother
In 1949, the new China was officially founded, the whole country celebrated, and He Jian, who had been fighting abroad for many years, was finally able to fulfill one of his big wishes and planned to return to his hometown to visit his mother, but due to the current busy military affairs, this plan had to be postponed repeatedly, and he did not officially set off until the overall situation was basically stable.
Chairman Mao delivered a speech at the founding ceremony
The day of He Jian's return to his hometown can be described as very lively, the local government after learning this news, immediately organized a grand welcome ceremony, the greeting team lined up all the way to the village entrance, beating gongs and drums, bunting flags flying, but He Jian couldn't help but get nervous, did not know what his mother was doing now, whether he had been waiting for him.
As soon as he entered the village, the villagers immediately surrounded him, constantly concerned about He Jian's recent situation, he simply responded to a few words, and then strode towards his home, before entering the door, he saw an old man who had been doing farm work for many years, and she was already very different from he Jian's mother in memory.
Twenty years had passed in a blink of an eye, not only had her hair turned white, but even her body was no longer straight, and He Jian could not control his emotions and went straight to his mother.
"Mother, the son is back, the son is finally back to see you" He Jian shouted loudly, his voice was mixed with all the thoughts of so long, even with some choking, the mother heard the movement, slowly turned her head, after many years of wind and frost, her steps were no longer strong, even her eyes became cloudy, but she knew that it was his son who had returned.
The old man slowly raised his already emaciated arm, trembled constantly under the influence of emotions, stayed for a while and then directly slapped He Jian's face: "You still know to come back, you still know to look at me", her voice was full of grievances, hitting her child's body, the pain was in the mother's heart, the mother could no longer control it, her face was full of tear marks, and they finally met again.
Her slap contains He Jian's parting, her worries over the years, and her never-ending thoughts.
People around them couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this scene, and the staff was accustomed to seeing He Jian's majestic and heroic hair on the battlefield, and such tenderness was still rare.
After the mother cried, she took the initiative to hug her son, He Jian stood there motionless, letting her keep beating her back with a hammer, listening to her mother's nagging and concern, making him feel as if he had returned to his childhood, his mind was full of previous pictures, until his mother took his slow hand and walked home, gradually returning to his senses.
"Son, the county government notified you to come back yesterday, saying that you can arrive today, and the leaders of the village and the villagers are still waiting to see you." Mother said as she walked.
When He Jian returned to this old house again, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and unlike in the past, this time the home was full of people, they kept cheering, welcoming He Jian's glorious return, he could now be regarded as the pride of the whole village, everyone came forward to greet He Jian, and their faces were full of happy smiles.
But He Jian was in stark contrast to them, not only a little absent-minded, but also looked in the direction of his mother from time to time, and this time he returned home, just wanted to spend a little more time alone with his mother, talk about his heart and his experience over the years, and did not want them to be so publicized and engage in some formal things.
However, looking at such enthusiastic villagers, He Jian was still willing to accompany them to nag a little, after a while his mother seemed to suddenly think of something, hurriedly and panickedly walked forward, took a tool in his hand and kept knocking on the dirt wall of the postponement of the kiss, suddenly the room was full of dust, everyone looked very puzzled, even He Jian was dazed.
After a while, the outer skin of the earthen wall was successfully knocked off by the mother, and she took out a square box tightly, she gently wiped the dust on it, walked to her son and mysteriously said: "Child, you can open it quickly." ”

He Jian slowly opened the box and couldn't help but look at the treasures inside, tears running over his cheeks, he didn't expect that after so many years, his mother was still preserving it for him.
Inside the box were banknotes issued by the bank before the liberation, one of which was one dollar, the other was five-pointed, and next to it was a photo of him, at that time He Jian was still very young, wearing the most simple clothes in the usual days.
He watched these things sink into his own memories.
In the autumn of 1932, the Red Fourth Front successfully occupied Yun County, and the large troops were ready to continue to move westward and gradually move around Shaanxi, while He Jian was serving as the guard of Xu Xiangqian, the commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Front, and he knew in his heart that once he left from here, it would be impossible to return to this place in a short time.

In order to leave some thoughts for his mother, He Jian decided to send the only one yuan and five corners on his body and the old photo to his hometown, although his behavior was extremely dangerous at the time, it was very likely to expose his identity, and even implicated his mother, but he could not think so much, hoping that these things could dissolve his mother's thoughts about him.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, she still kept it intact, He Jian slowly turned his head with these things, and kept sobbing, he didn't want everyone to see such a messy look.
In the next few days, He Jian has been busy taking care of his mother, taking care of all the farm work alone, and even persuading her to live with her in the future, her old man has worked hard in the village for a lifetime, and has not had a good day, and now He Jian finally has the opportunity to do his filial piety, hoping to let his mother enjoy the happiness of heaven in the next time.

But He Jian did not understand why his mother suddenly slapped himself when she met him, he kept thinking of finding an opportunity to ask carefully, and finally his mother told the truth with tears.
He Jian "lied" to engage in revolution
In 1911, He Jian was born in an ordinary family in Huang'an, Hubei Province, and at that time his family was relatively well-off, and his parents were very industrious, and they were much better than other children in the same village in terms of food and clothing.
He Jian, as a boy, can be regarded as a very mischievous mischief, since childhood disasters have long become a common thing, but every time he comes back, his parents will not let go easily every time, in childhood suffered a lot of beatings, which gradually led to He Jian began to rebel, no longer follow the family's thoughts, have their own opinions.
At that time, Huang An was an old revolutionary area, the Red Army often operated here, but also from time to time to propagate progressive ideas, He Jian was very interested in these, under the influence of a long time, he gradually had a goal in mind, he wanted to change the status quo through his own efforts, and join them in the revolution.

Back at home, He Jian immediately told his mother about this idea: "Mother, there are many young people in the village who have already followed the Red Army, and I want to join them like them and contribute my own strength."
However, He Jian's decision was directly opposed by his mother: "Son, do you know how dangerous it is on the battlefield, if you are not careful, you will die, your father left early, only the two of us lived together, do you really bear to leave your mother alone at home?" ”
He Jian knew his mother's worries, but at this time, he couldn't listen to it at all, his mind was full of revolution, his blood was constantly burning, in order to be able to join the army smoothly, he lied that he wanted to go out to learn a money-making craft, and the life of their mother and son could be easier in the future.
Although the mother was very reluctant to let her son leave, she had to nod her head in agreement for the sake of He Jian's future considerations, but what she certainly did not expect at this time was that her son would never return after this, and in the next few decades, she would be left alone at home and constantly worried.
In 1929, at the age of eighteen, He Jian successfully joined the Red Fourth Front commanded by Xu Xiangqian and officially began his revolutionary career, at a young age, he was brave and fearless, knew how to be flexible in danger, and had a very outstanding performance in many wars, not only became stronger and stronger, but also accumulated a lot of combat experience.
After that, He Jian continued to travel around the country with the large troops, in the process, not only served as a correspondent, but also became a squad leader by virtue of his own strength, He Jian's serious attitude and indomitable spirit soon received the attention of his superior Xu Xiangqian, and even personally received him.
He Jian looked at Xu Xiangqian very nervously, and thought that he was not doing well enough to be disciplined, but what he didn't expect was that Xu Xiangqian smiled and said to him: "This time I called you to come without any other meaning, that is, I want to arrange a new job for you, and from now on I will serve as my guard, what do you think?" ”
He Jian was of course very willing in his heart, and immediately nodded, Xu Xiangqian was very satisfied, patted his shoulder and continued: "You are a very good young man, continue to work hard in the future." ”
After getting the affirmation of his superiors, He Jian was more conscientious, he followed Xu Xiangqian all day, not only paying attention to safety issues at any time, but also often taking the initiative to help do something within his power, his judgment and action, Xu Xiangqian looked in his eyes and always praised him.
Later, in order to reverse the current tension, the Long March began, in the process, a number of leaders gathered together, held a small meeting, discussed the current situation and the next plan, after the end of the meeting, Xu Xiangqian directly called He Jian, a serious face to him said: "Now give you a task, escort Zhang Guotao away, must be completed." ”

In order to be able to successfully complete this task, He Jian chose a very remote route, the whole process is not only through the steep and winding mountain road, but also the surrounding weeds, sometimes even can not see the road conditions in front, He Jian walked alone in the front to open the road, from time to time to pay attention to the situation around him.
Under his protection, Zhang Guotao successfully arrived at the designated place, and his ability to do things left a very deep impression on Zhang Guotao, and he planned to reuse him later.
He Jian successfully completed his task, returned to Xu Xiangqian's side again, and then participated in the Battle of Huangguang under the arrangement, when Xu Xiangqian and Chen Geng were observing the road conditions, but what they did not expect was that a shell suddenly hit them, so fast that people had no time to react.

After He Jian sensed the danger, he immediately blocked in front of them and pushed the two to safety with all his strength, but he himself was blown up and injured, and he fainted at the moment.
When He Jian opened his eyes again, he was already lying in the clinic, not only did he have many burns on his skin, but even his bones were broken a few times, he couldn't move at all, he could only cultivate wholeheartedly, but He Jian recovered quickly when he was young, and soon after he was as alive as before.
Chen Geng was very grateful to He Jian for coming to the rescue at a critical moment, and even went to the army to visit, and after a brief inquiry about his physical condition, he smiled and said to him: "This time it is thanks to you, otherwise Xu Xiangqian and I would have met With Marx long ago." ”
He Jian was very embarrassed to hear, he felt that this was his part as a guard, and then he continued to go all the way west with the large army, and successfully reached the northern Shaanxi region, He Jian got the attention of the organization with his own strength, and arranged for him to enter the Northern Shaanxi Red Army University for training for a period of time, where his growth can be described as a leap forward.
Mother fanned him to the truth
The longer he left home, the more He Jian missed his mother, since he lied that he had gone out to learn his craft, he had never returned home, and every late night he lay alone in bed, he would fall into deep guilt, not knowing whether his mother would blame himself over the years, not knowing whether she was healthy or not.
Although He Jiansi's mother was earnest, but at the moment he still has more important things to do, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, his performance is particularly prominent, all the way to promotion, and even served as a commander, he not only pays attention to skills, but also very brave, leading the army to fight a lot of victories, constantly boosting everyone's morale.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, He Jian threw himself wholeheartedly into the next Liberation War, every task he could successfully complete, many people felt that he was a rare military general, for so many years, He Jian has been contributing his own strength, even after the founding of New China, he was very busy.

But despite this, He Jian never forgot his mother, thinking that as long as he had a little leisure, he would immediately leave for his hometown, and finally he waited for this opportunity, but what he did not expect was that he was slapped by his mother.
Since He Jian left that year, the mother did not miss her son for a day, but for the sake of his future, she could only keep this thought silently in her heart, constantly doing farm work, trying to ease her emotions with busyness, but after so many years, the old man had not looked forward to the return of his son.
The mother gradually turned her thoughts of He Jian into worry, at that time He Jian was still young, going out alone, she herself was very uneasy, the only thing she received was a piece of five cents and that photo sent back by her son that year, at that time she knew that He Jian "lied", he did not go to learn the craft, but chose to join the revolution.

The mother was afraid of revealing the information about her son, so she directly put these things in a box and sealed them on the earthen wall with dirt, and even if her life was tight for so many years, she was reluctant to spend the money, but after that, He Jian never heard from him.
The mother knows how dangerous it is on the battlefield, and also knows her son's ambitions, no matter what happens, he must be the first to rush to the front, which is often what she is most worried about, the husband left early, only their mother and son are dependent on each other, if the son has any accidents, she does not know how she should live alone.
She waited for twenty years, the village suddenly received a notice, saying that He Jianjin returned to his hometown, the next day can arrive, the mother after learning the news, excited to sleep, a night to turn over and think about the scene when we met tomorrow, do not know whether the son has changed, whether there have been injuries over the years, unconsciously tears soaked the pillow.
But when she really saw He Jian, she found that she couldn't say a word, she was angry at her son's "lying", she was angry for so many years that she had not heard from her, she was even more angry about how to come back to see her now, so she raised her arm and slapped He Jian, and her heart was also hurting fiercely.
He Jian did not know how many war scenes his mother had made up for before, in the days when he was away, he could be said to have lived a life of fear all day, until he saw him standing in front of him heroically, he Jian was relieved after learning the truth, he kept flowing tears, it was he who made his mother suffer.
After this, He Jian has been doing his best to make up for the regrets of these years, let his mother live a happy and stable life, chat with her from time to time, and ease the boredom of the old man.
He Jian was not only a great revolutionary, but also the eternal pride of his mother's heart.
