After 1939, what happened to the two wives who were left in China by Li De
When it comes to the Long March, many people are familiar with it. Nowadays, the Long March represents a glorious course of struggle, it is a spirit of the Chinese nation, a spirit of courage to forge ahead, hard struggle, pioneering and innovative spirit. However, in the previous era, at the moment of the Long March of the Red Army, it was a very difficult history. The reason for this was that due to the wrong command of Bogu and Li De, which led to the failure of the Fifth Anti-"Encirclement and Suppression" campaign of the Red Army, they had no choice but to embark on the pace of the Long March.
Originally from Germany, Li De studied and lived at the Frunze Military Academy in the Soviet Union, and he met Bogu in the Eastern Department of the Comintern, and the two soon became friends. In 1932, he traveled from Moscow to Shanghai to help the Executive Committee of the Comintern send the cost of rescuing the Niulans to Shanghai, and after completing the mission, he unexpectedly met Bogu, who had become the interim head of the department, and with his help, Li De became a military adviser to the Comintern, helping Bogu in his work in the Central Soviet Region.
At the time, Mr. Reed didn't know much about the situation in China. He mistakenly abandoned mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare, and other combat methods that the Chinese Red Army was good at, but stuck to simple military theories and practiced fortress warfare and offensive battles. Li De's erroneous military command led to heavy losses in the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, and the Red Army had to carry out the Long March.

At the beginning of the Long March, Li De and Bogu still held the heavy responsibility of command, which greatly increased the casualties of the Red Army after four subsequent breakthroughs of the blockade line. After the Zunyi meeting, the leadership team deliberated and decided to revoke the command of the two men and hand them over to the chairman.
After the End of the Long March, Li De came to the Red Army University in Yan'an, where he worked for seven years. He then returned to Moscow alone, leaving behind his two wives, unaware of their current situation.

Among them, his first wife was born in 1910, a native of Tai Po, Guangdong Province, named Xiao Yuehua, she was born in a poor family, when she was young, she was sold to someone else's home and became a child bride. But the family who accepted her was not in a very good financial situation. Xiao Yuehua could only go to one factory to do child labor, when she was only 13 years old.
There, she met Mrs. The Paper, and listened to a lot of the progressive ideas of the party. Encouraged, she applied aggressively, joined a trade union, and subsequently joined a party organization. In 1932, he met Li De, who came to the Central Soviet District, and began a new life.
Xiao Yuehua
The organization assigned Xiao Yuehua and Li De's marriage. Although the beliefs are the same, Li De is ultimately from abroad and pursues a free marriage relationship, so although Xiao Yuehua intimately takes care of the life at home and lives with the two, because the marriage has no emotional basis, Li De does not accept Xiao Yuehua's thoughtfulness and care, and after the Long March, the two can only end this marriage. In 1983, at the age of 73, she died of illness in Guangzhou.
Subsequently, in a chance experience, Li De got to know Li Lilian, and the two fell in love and soon entered the palace of marriage. When Li De received a notice that he was preparing to return to China in 1939, he planned to return to his hometown with Li Lilian and continue their married life.
However, due to the lack of consent from the Soviet side, Li De could only leave his wife and return to China alone, Li Lilian stayed in China, teaching in the Luyi Music Department in Yan'an, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, she continued to serve the revolutionary cause of the motherland, from singer to well-known film star, and finally died of illness in April 1965 at the age of 51.
It can be said that Li De's two emotions in China are hastily concluded.
