In 1937, the Outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the land of China was brutally slaughtered, in the face of the Japanese army that burned and plundered everywhere, all the bloody Chinese stepped forward to "expel the Tartars" and contributed their own strength, zhu Diankun and Zhang Cuiping and his wife in Xinglong County, Hebei Province.
Zhu Diankun and Zhang Cuiping are both natives of Xinglong County, Zhu Diankun is an honest farmer, and Zhang Cuiping was also born poorly, although the husband and wife are not highly educated, but when the war burned to Hebei, they still stepped forward and made a modest contribution to the cause of anti-Japanese resistance.
Zhu Diankun became an underground traffic officer of the Eighth Route Army, passing information to the Eighth Route Army, and Zhang Cuiping often washed and cooked for the Eighth Route Army, sewed and repaired, and helped the soldiers solve some problems in their lives.
Although Zhang Cuiping is wrapped in a pair of small feet, her movements are sharp and her work is windy, and comrades affectionately call her "Ma Li Sister-in-law".
On January 21, 1943, Li Yunchang, commander of the Eighth Route Army of the Jidong Military Region stationed near Zhang Cuiping's hometown, received information that more than 7,000 Japanese puppet troops were marching toward the Jidong Military Region to eliminate the Eighth Route.
Receiving this information, commander Li Yunchang was very anxious; at that time, there were only more than 300 people in the Jidong Military Region, so how could it be the opponent of the puppet army of more than 7,000 days?
In desperation, Li Yunchang decided to burn the documents, tie grenades to the radio, and desperately break through, at this time, Zhang Cuiping, who had a big belly, came to Li Yunchang and said to Li Yunchang:
300 people and 7,000 people are not wise to fight hard, I know a path to take you away.
”。
At that time, Zhang Cuiping, who was already 8 months pregnant, looked at Zhang Cuiping with a big belly, Li Yunchang was a little unbearable, and hesitated to say to Zhang Cuiping:
Sister-in-law, your body is not good, how can we let you suffer this sin?
Zhang Cuiping heard the words and smiled:
We have strong bones in the mountains, you don't want your mother-in-law!
Under the leadership of Zhang Cuiping, Li Yunchang and 300 Red Army soldiers successfully escaped the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army, however, due to overwork, Zhang Cuiping was born prematurely, and Li Yunchang was very grateful for Zhang Cuiping's behavior and named the child Bing'er.
Because of the matter of leading the way to the Eighth Road, Zhang Cuiping also got into trouble, and could only take the child to hide in Tibet, and more unfortunately, in 1945, Zhang Cuiping's husband Zhu Diankun, when sending information to the Eighth Road, was arrested by the Japanese army and unfortunately died, and from then on, only Zhang Cuiping was dependent on the child for his life.
However, even if life is hard and tired, Zhang Cuiping did not want to trouble the government and live in peace with her son Bing'er.
In July 1982, Zhang Cuiping died of illness in his hometown of Xinglong at the age of 70, after the death of the old man, the family found a box under the bed where the old man slept when sorting out the relics, and opened it to find that it contained an old map and some IOUs.
After reading the IOU, Zhang Cuiping's son Bing'er knew that this was the IOU laid by the Eighth Route Army at his house that year, and roughly calculated, there were 7,000 kilograms of grain.
The Eighth Route Army is not rich, and everyone knows that borrowing grain from the masses happens from time to time, but after the founding of the Country, the local government made it clear that it could take the IOU to the government to change, but Zhang Cuiping did not do so.
Bing Er was very understanding of her mother's approach, so these IOUs were "brought to the old lady" with a fire during the memorial.
Let's talk about The commander Li Yunchang who led the way to Zhang Cuiping, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has not given up looking for the "Ma Li Sister-in-law" who led the way that year, and in 1949, he also entrusted people to find Zhang Cuiping, but for various reasons, he has not been found.
It was not until 1987, in the 5th year of Zhang Cuiping's death, that Li Yunchang got the news of Zhang Cuiping's son Bing'er, and the next year, Li Yunchang, who was already 80 years old, met with Bing'er in chengde Qiwanglou, and it was also because of this matter that Zhang Cuiping's deeds were well known.
