In 2012, Pan Ping, a farmer in Hubei Province, planned to renovate the old mansion that always leaked, and before the renovation, he needed to clean up everything in the old house. The house was inhabited by the Pan Ping family and his grandmother.
However, my grandmother died unexpectedly twenty-eight years ago. In order to miss the old man, the family sealed her house. As the house was gradually emptied,
Pan Ping accidentally found that there was a crack behind the mahogany cabinet in his grandmother's house, and inside the crack was a dusty notebook.
The notes record some wartime events, and the name of grandmother Jia Chunying appears on it many times.
Doubting the grandmother's identity, Pan Ping gave the notebook to the local government, hoping that they would help investigate the grandmother's identity.
A week later,
The local government suddenly came to the door and said to Pan Ping: "The old lady is not an ordinary person, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Who is Pan Ping's grandmother, and why does it attract the attention of the government?
Born into poverty, he threw himself into the revolution
In 1912, Pan Ping's grandmother, Jia Chunying, was born in Taogang Jia Village, Yangxin County, Hubei Province, and Jia Chunying's parents were poor farmers.
Under the influence of feudal ideas, Jia Chunying was given to a distant aunt by her parents as a child bride at a very young age. When Jia Chunying gradually grew to five or six years old, her aunt began to squeeze her, letting her take care of housework every day, washing and cooking, and if she did not go along with her aunt's wishes, Jia Chunying would usher in a severe beating.
When he was 13 years old, Jia Chunying began to go up the mountain to cut firewood and go down the mountain to cut pig grass. One afternoon, Jia Chunying carried a bundle of chopped firewood and slowly walked home. Suddenly, lightning flashed and thundered, and before Jia Chunying could find a place to dodge, heavy rain began to fall.
Jia Chunying walked on foot on the smooth mountain road, the heavy rain blocked the view, and his foot slipped and fell in front of him. At this time, a young man with an oil-paper umbrella came up to her and lifted her up to shield her from the rain. Jia Chunying found that this young man was actually his cousin Luo Guanguo, although he was a cousin, but the fate of the two was completely different, the Luo family was a famous rich family in the county, and there was no need to worry about eating and wearing.
Therefore, Luo Guanguo could wear brand new clothes from an early age and be sent to the academy to study. And Jia Chunying wore tattered clothes, worked for her life, did housework every day, and chopped wood and mowed grass.
Luo Guanguo questioned, "You are still so young, who let you go up the mountain to cut wood and cut grass, how can they oppress their relatives so much?" ”
Jia Chunying said very sensibly: "It wasn't my aunt who forced me to do this, although I am still young, but I can already share the affairs of the family, and I am not a rich family, the children of the poor are not all like this, you forgot, that sentence is called the poor children have long been in charge." ”
Luo Guanguo looked at his thin cousin and took the initiative to ask, "Do you know why you are so bitter?" ”
Jia Chunying seemed to understand and said, "I, my life is bitter, what else can I do?" ”
Luo Guanguo said: "It is not you who suffers alone, the poor people are suffering, this does not complain about you, this resentment of this feudal and superstitious society, it does not give the people a way to live, so we have to fight with them." ”
Jia Chunying rubbed her head in confusion, and then said, "How to fight, I don't understand this."
Luo Guanguo said, "I don't understand, tomorrow I and some friends will go to the ancestral hall in Houshan to give a lecture, you can come and listen, after listening to it, you will know how to fight." ”
The next day, Jia Chunying refused the housework arranged by her aunt on the grounds that she was sick and feverish, and rushed to the ancestral hall in houshan to listen to her cousin's lectures. Here, in the name of holding a book club, Luo Guanguo propagated revolutionary ideas to the poor masses of the people and explained to them why the working people at the bottom paid hard work and sweat, but in the end they could not survive. Tell them the bane of the layers of oppression in feudal society.
It was here that Jia Chunying learned what revolution was, what was against exploitation, and what was class struggle, and in the days that followed, Jia Chunying ripped off the shroud on her feet, took up arms, joined the revolutionary ranks, and launched a struggle against oppression.
In 1925, the Communist Party of China established its first party member group in Yangxin County
And like a spark, it began to develop rapidly in the surrounding areas, showing a trend of fire. With the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Communist Party of China has developed extensively throughout the country.
Two years later,
Jia Chunying, along with a group of young people, announced their willingness to join the Chinese Communist Party under a banner with a sickle and an axe.
For her move, Luo Guanguo was both relieved and very worried, and he was worried that this simple cousin did not understand what revolution was.
Luo Guanguo took the initiative to find Jia Chunying and said: "Cousin, do you know what a revolution is, revolution is sacrificial, bloody, and conflict."
Jia Chunying replied: "I understand, I understand all this, I am willing to pay my life for the revolutionary cause, I have suffered enough in my life, I do not want my children and grandchildren to suffer hardships, for this I am willing to pay all the price." ”
Looking at Jia Chunying's firm gaze, Luo Guanguo understood that the little girl in front of her was no longer two years ago, she had a firm belief and revolutionary enthusiasm that was not lost to herself.
As the saying goes,
Success is also Xiao He defeated also Xiao He. The first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party caused a great explosion of communist ideas in this land, and the ensuing rupture between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could also cause the Communist Party to suffer greatly. With the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup created by Chiang Kai-shek, the right-wing forces within the Kuomintang rose up and carried out large-scale persecution of Communists.
The local Kuomintang troops and warlord forces began to hunt down Communists on a large scale, burn down party departments and peasant cooperatives, collude with local local tyrants and bullies, and form reactionary armed forces such as homecoming regiments and assassination squads, and take revenge on communists and workers and peasants with more than a hundred times the strength.
Just when this white terror hung over the earth, Jia Chunying did not give up the idea of revolution, because she was too young to go to the front line to fight, she studied at home, literate and enriched herself, during this time, she also learned horseback riding and martial arts.
Up-and-coming, free love
In 1930, as the revolutionary struggle continued to reach a climax, Jia Chunying's cousin Luo Guanguo had begun to serve as the secretary of the Yangxin County Party Committee, and Jia Chunying would often follow his cousin and go everywhere to listen to the Red Revolution speeches. Once, when Luo Guanguo went to Tianjiazhuang to hold a conference, a local landlord sent a thug to make trouble in order to sabotage the meeting.
After Jia Chunying saw it, he directly turned over on the stage, grabbed the thug in the palm of his hand, the thug saw that she was a girl, so he did not take it seriously, but scolded and grinned to beat Jia Chunying, Jia Chunying saw that the thug did not know good villains, so he gently twisted the hand that held the thug's right arm, and the thug grinned in pain, calling the woman to spare her life.
This incident was seen by the masses of the people present, and the people in the audience applauded one after another, and since then, Jia Chunying has begun to emerge in the revolutionary ranks.
Half a month later,
Some people complained that in several nearby villages, some of them had guns and ammunition in storage, and they deliberately plotted against them, and Jia Chunying took the initiative to stand up and ask for orders, asking to lead four backbone members to solve the matter.
Luo Guanguo saw that his cousin was so ambitious, so he agreed.
After Jia Chunying arrived at the village where the dibao was located, he did not immediately go to the door to look for guns and ammunition, but instead led the comrades to organize the peasant association and the peasant Red Guards, on the one hand, to unite the local people, and on the other hand, to arm themselves with large knives and long guns. It also clarified the information of the land protection in each village, and on the one hand, it co-opted and united those who could support the revolution, and at the same time suppressed the local protection groups of the reactionary forces.
After a month of preparation, Jia Chunying suddenly launched an attack, surrounded the di bao family, confiscated their guns, and armed the peasant Red Guards. It was also through this incident that many revolutionary masses got to know this little girl, and many people said that she was a two-gun woman.
In his spare time, Jia Chunying would visit the surrounding villages to understand the needs of the people, and with the identity of a woman, Jia Chunying soon established a good relationship with the local women comrades, and for a time the entire eastern Hubei region knew Jia Chunying's name.
In 1930, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to set up a special committee in the eastern Hubei region, and everyone unanimously elected Jia Chunying as the secretary of the women's committee of the special committee, which was both an importance and a test for Jia Chunying, who was only eighteen years old at the time.
After becoming the secretary of the Women's Committee, Jia Chunying took the lead in everything, took the initiative to take the lead, and wandered in the front line of the revolutionary contingent; in order to solve the problem of insufficient troops in the army, Jia Chunying mobilized women comrades to vigorously publicize the spirit of the Red Revolution, and told his personal experience to the common people, sending thousands of revolutionary sons and daughters to the ranks of the Red Army.
After the first anti-encirclement and suppression campaign began, Jia Chunying took the initiative to ask for the logistics support of the troops, on the one hand, to send the sewn clothes and shoes to the Red Army soldiers on the front line, on the other hand, to organize the villagers to deliver food and ammunition to the front line.
After the victory of the first anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, the local organizations suffered heavy losses, and many areas changed from the original revolutionary base areas to guerrilla areas where the two sides were at war; Jia Chunying, not afraid of difficulties, took the initiative to request that the original party organizations and groups be restored in these areas; during this period, Jia Chunying also expanded the local Red Guards group, and fulfilled the task of the special committee to expand the Red Army, and recruited more than 1,000 party members.
Red romance, revolutionary love
In 1935, Jia Chunying was already 23 years old, and at the local age she should have been the mother of several children, but Jia Chunying had been busy with the revolutionary cause all these years and had not been married. So under the matchmaking of the leaders, Jia Chunying got acquainted with Pan Tao, a soldier of the Red Army, and because both of them were from Yangxin County, the two could still talk.
Maybe they are both revolutionary comrades, although the two people are inseparable, but the content of the two people's chat will always be the revolutionary cause, and the honest Pan Tao will not spend the previous month, the two have their own ideas, pursue the victory of the revolution together, and do not talk about the private feelings of their children.
Just when the feelings of the two slowly heated up, a sudden change broke the feelings of the two people again. In October 1936, when Jia Chunying was delivering supplies to the front-line troops, he was suddenly ambushed by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the revolutionary comrades around him were killed one by one.
As a result, just as Jia Chunying was burning the documents, a pistol was pressed against the door of her head. The owner of the pistol was Peng Yihu, the chairman of the Soviet who escorted the supplies with Jia Chunying, and Jia Chunying shouted angrily: "What are you doing, are you a traitor, you actually aimed the revolutionary muzzle at the revolutionary comrades." ”
Peng Yihu said: "I just want to find a better way out for myself, hand over the documents on your body, I can spare your life." ”
When Jia Chunying heard this, he pretended to agree to hand over the documents, but he took advantage of the situation to draw a pistol and hit Peng Yihu's left hand with one shot, but there were already thousands of Kuomintang soldiers behind him, and jia Chunying was knocked unconscious with the butt of his rifle.
After Jia Chunying was arrested, our party immediately sent underground workers to the rescue, but because of the Kuomintang's strict defense, there was no chance. At this time, the Kuomintang agents severely tortured Jia Chunying and tried to force out useful information, but Jia Chunying clenched her teeth and did not open her mouth.
It was not until nine months later, when the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists began, and the two sides agreed to release the imprisoned political prisoners, that Jia Chunying was released, and it was Pan Tao who came to greet her.
After this death escape, Jia Chunying completely despised the sophistication of human feelings, she accepted Pan Tao's love, and the two naturally got together.
After the marriage, Jia Chunying was still busy with the revolutionary cause in the rear, while Pan Tao went to the front line to fight against the Japanese.
In 1939, Jia Chunying was pregnant and could only give up her work, she told this good news to her husband on the front line, pan Tao agreed with her that when the child was born, she would come back to see the two of them.
But this time Pan Tao did not fulfill this promise,
After Jia Chunying gave birth to a son, he received the news that Pan Tao had died on the front line. In order not to add trouble to the organization, Jia Chunying returned to her hometown alone with her son, and for her past, Jia Chunying never told her son, so her family did not know her past.
Later, after the liberation of Yangxin, Jia Chunying was appointed as the director of women in the organization, and Jia Chunying also actively ran for the organization, until he could not afford to work due to illness, and then abandoned his post and returned to the field.
For many years, Jia Chunying had not enjoyed the treatment of the red army's scattered personnel, and she had never made any demands on the organization.
In 1984, the old man died of illness, and her family buried her hastily, until 2012, when Jia Chunying's grandson Pan Ping found the diary, he did not know that the old man had such a past.
