It is said that there was a door link hanging on the gate of the Whampoa Military Academy that year:
"If you get rich, please find another way, greedy and afraid of death."
The Whampoa Military Academy has cultivated many talents for the Chinese revolution, and at the beginning of its establishment, it was also full of vigor and fighting spirit, but later, starting from Chiang Kai-shek's complete mastery of the Whampoa Military Academy, the cradle of this famous military academy in modern times gradually deteriorated. The Whampoa Military Academy no longer existed simply to nurture Chinese revolutionary soldiers, but became the cradle of Chiang Kai-shek, President Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, chairman Chiang Kai-shek,the cradle of the Central Army, and the cradle of the Kuomintang lineage.
The corruption of the Kuomintang began with the degeneration of the Whampoa Military Academy, Dr. Sun Yat-sen
"Promote officials to get rich, please find another way, greedy and afraid of death can not enter this door"
, by the hands of Chiang Kai-shek has become
"Please enter this road for promotion and wealth, greedy and afraid of death can enter this door"
。 On the other hand, if someone says that they joined the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the People's Liberation Army in order to rise to a higher rank and get rich and to survive the chaotic world, I really don't believe it.
The vast majority of those who joined the revolutionary ranks of the Communist Party of China were from poor backgrounds, as were officers and men at the grass-roots level, as well as among senior commanders and fighters. General Han Xianchu, the "commander of the whirlwind" and the "militant", is a typical and representative of this. Han Xianchu's family situation was so poor that he could only live and grow up with his sister who was a child bride, but after Han Xianchu joined the revolution, why did he never talk to his comrades-in-arms about his sister, and the word "sister" was never mentioned.
Han Xianchu's hometown
In Hubei Province
Huang'an County
(Hong'an County), his mother died in childbirth when he was 3 years old, and his sister went to work as a child bride when he was 5 years old. His father was frail and sick, and he could not take care of the young Han Xianchu, so his father and sister let him follow him to his sister's in-laws' house. Han Xianchu's sister is 9 years older than Han Xianchu, who handles the housework inside and outside her in-laws' homes, and leads Han Xianchu home to help her father do some work every three or five minutes.
Han Xianchu's brother-in-law, tian Changsong, was very kind to Han Xianchu and treated him as his own brother. But the person who is the head of the Tian family is not Tian Changsong, even if Tian Changsong is the master of the family, the Tian family, whose life is already tight, a child adopted daughter-in-law also brings a younger brother, a family of young and old, how can they not say some ugly words, unpleasant words, and complaining words.
Han Xianchu's temper has been stubborn since he was a child, and he can't see that others say that he is dragging down and that his sister is not, he does not want to listen to these words, so he does not want to live here and wants to go home. Her sister persuaded him and coaxed him, but did not say anything to him about the big truth, but told Han Xianchu:
"My sister wants you to be here with me, and I'm quite lonely here; when you go home and no one plays with you, and your father can't take care of you, do you want to be a wild monkey?"
The sister maintained Han Xianchu like an old hen protecting the chicks, and did everything she could to care for him.
In order to make the Tian family say ugly things in front of her brother less, and then let her brother be sad and sad, she worked hard day and night to worry about various things in the family, hoping to win the favor of the Tian family. The young Han Xianchu also understood his sister's difficulties and knew that it was not for her sister to keep herself
"I feel alone and want someone to accompany me"
Instead, I want to take care of myself, give myself a better life, and let myself grow up healthily. Sometimes, little Han Xianchu couldn't help but hide in the corner, and a person secretly wiped his tears.
Even if she had to live under the fence, her sister let Han Xianchu read for a year. Han Xianchu himself was also very contentious, and gradually grew up to work very hard,
He worked as a cattle herder, learned to be a squirrel, and worked as a short-term worker in Wuhan, more than two hundred miles away. He just wanted his sister to be able to relax and not be so tired. To join the Red Army, Han Xianchu brought his own grain. Saying goes
"Eat food as a soldier"
When you become a soldier, you will have free food to eat. Why did Han Xianchu bring grain to join the army?
Ah, it was a rule in the Red Army at that time that everyone who joined the army had to pay 4 buckets of grain. 4 buckets is 40 liters, about 50 pounds. You say it's more, it's not more; it's less, it's not much. The purpose of this is not understood by many people. There are two reasons for joining the army to pay food:
The first is to test your determination to join the Red Army, and the second is that the Red Army contingent is also short of food.
Most people know the latter, and the former is probably impossible for many people to understand, thinking that there is nothing to test?
"Joining the army and bringing food" does have this function, and some people in the province regard joining the Red Army as a kind of work of mixed eating and waiting for death (don't think there is none). Moreover, 40 kilograms of grain is only enough for an adult man to eat normally for 40 days (the eating time may be shorter), and after eating it, it is not the grain of the Red Army; moreover, these 40 kilograms of grain are also for you to eat yourself. 40 catties of grain, Han Xianchu could not take out - in order to bury his father, he sold the only field and grain he had, and there were only two broken thatched huts left in the family (no one wanted it).
Han Xianchu had no grain, nor did he borrow grain easily; because he was a soldier, he didn't know when he would come back, so how to return the grain? Will you remember it by then? Everyone is a poor peasant with his back to the sky facing the loess soil, who can risk 4 buckets of rations. Han Xianchu had no home, but he still had a good sister. In the end, it was Han Xianchu's sister who guaranteed her that she would still be able to borrow grain. Only then did Han Xianchu have the qualifications to join the Red Army. Folk saying,
"The eldest brother is like the father, the eldest sister-in-law is like the mother"
Han Xianchu's sister was both a father and a mother.
Han Xianchu, who lost his mother at the age of 3, can no longer remember his mother's appearance, and for him his sister is
"Mother"
。 The sister that Han Xianchu treasured in the depths of his memory was more like a mother. After joining the army for a while, Han Xianchu was about to leave Dabie Mountain to go to another place to make a revolution, and the news from his hometown from the inquiry said that his sister was still alive and very good. And the sister is Han Xianchu's only relative in this world.
Han Xianchu's brother-in-law, Tian Changsong, joined the revolution at the same time as Li Xiannian (Li Xiannian was also a native of Huang'an, Hubei). In a battle after Han Xianchu joined the army, Tian Changsong was killed. The news came back, and he didn't know how his sister would face such a blow. There are too many things that Han Xianchu does not know, such as two years after the death of his brother-in-law Tian Changsong, his sister will be sold to the Wu family in Dawan, the Wu family.
The only thing Han Xianchu knew was that as long as his sister who ate and believed in Buddhism in her hometown was still alive, she would definitely pray, worry and worry about his younger brother every day. In the second year after the Long March of the Red 25th Army, the sister received the news of her brother's long march and specially ran to the nearby Mulan Mountain in Huangpi County (a famous religious shrine in the Huanggang area) to pray to the Buddha and ask for a signature. There is a local sentence after the break:
The Bodhisattva of Magnolia Mountain – the Spirit of the Far
。 Just because of this sentence, the sister used a pair of half-sized feet that were wrapped halfway and let go, and in the rainy season, trekked more than 50 kilometers of muddy mountain roads to Mulan Mountain to pray for a signature.
This trip took three days, and it was bumpy and arduous, and my sister never said it. There are four words in the signature:
"It's time to go back to the mountains."
After the brothers and sisters reunited, the sister said:
"When the Red Army fought guerrilla warfare in the first chu, wasn't it in the mountains and forests?" This sign of true spirit, I am going to return the wish to the bodhisattva. ”
But did my sister really think so? Of course not, she felt
"Return to the mountains"
It is the meaning that people are no longer there. She cried all the way home, and from then on, every literate person took out the note that read, "Return to the mountains and forests," and asked someone to explain the meaning.
If there are no children at home, if the sister gets this visa, who will go home, who will want to go home, who will go home? It must have been thousands of miles away to find his younger brother Han Xianchu. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Han Xianchu retired from the front line and studied at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University in Yan'an, where he wrote a letter to the villagers of the Tian Li family, asking about his sister's whereabouts, how was her sister, and was she doing well?
It is said that this letter did go to the township hand, but it was held by the local security chief. After the sister heard about it, she rushed to see the letter and see her brother's words, but the chief bao said no, no matter how the sister pleaded, it was useless. Yes, at that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated for the second time, but in the eyes of some people, the Communist Party was still a "hostile force" or an enemy. The sister couldn't stand it, she was going crazy, and she was determined to go to her brother and see how he was.
My sister has not been anywhere, maybe the county town has not been to several times, she can't say how big the Wujia Dawan is, she doesn't know where her brother is in Yan'an, and she doesn't know how far away it is from Wujia Dawan. However, it didn't matter, as long as the younger brother Han Xianchu was still alive, the sister Tiannanhaibei would have to find it, and it was enough to know that Yan'an was in the northwest direction. Since then, my sister has been spinning yarn and weaving every day until the chicken crows, frantically saving money, but when the money was almost enough to be entangled on the road, Wuhan fell into the hands of the Japanese army.
In late February 1949, the 40th and 43rd Armies of the 4th Wild Advance Army marched south from the vicinity of Peiping. In early May, the two armies entered the Huanggang area of Hubei Province, preparing to cross the river to capture Wuhan. Han Xianchu thought to himself, finally hit the door of the house, must go to see how his sister is! Han Xianchu asked the reconnaissance section to send two scouts to Huang'an to find out the whereabouts of his sister, while he himself took a guard platoon to the mouth of the river to wait for news.
Hekou, the place where Han Xianchu joined the army when he was a soldier, is also a place where he and his sister are separated, 19 years ago. The ancestral hall of a large family on the eastern slope of Hekou Town, Han Xianchu led people to wait here. The estuary is the only way to Wuhan, and from time to time on the road, there are Kuomintang troops passing through Wuhan, and some rich families also follow to Wuhan.
Han Xianchu's behavior at this time was risky, putting himself in danger. Once the news of the "whirlwind commander" Han Xianchu leaked here, the Kuomintang army knew that the town of Hekou would be under heavy siege, and it would be difficult for a fly to fly out. Han Xianchu stood on the steps in front of the ancestral hall, his eyes looking at the path under the continuous spring rain, looking through. Han Xianchu, who believed in Communist Party ideology and Marxism, prayed to the gods for the first time.
Bring my sister to me
。
Han Xianchu silently prayed in his heart, wishing him to see his sister again. In the rain and fog, a man dressed in black, wearing a bucket hat and a cloak walked towards Han Xianchu's side. Ordinary people can't even see the gender, but Han Xianchu can recognize it at once, it is his own sister, that is his sister who has been dreaming about for 19 years. He couldn't wait, he didn't hold an umbrella, he didn't wear a cloak, he didn't wear a bucket hat, and he ran out in the rain.
The sister in the distance also saw it, and both of them ran toward each other. The sister hugged Han Xianchu and slapped it, weeping with joy, weeping in silence, and shouting in her mouth:
"Zu Bao, Zu Bao, Zu Bao, Zu Bao, Zu Bao."
At this time, no words could express the excitement of the sister. The enemy's guns did not make Han Xianchu cry, and now in the voice of his sister's voice, his tears could not stop flowing down. The two brothers hugged each other and cried, how afraid that this was a dream.
When he saw his sister, Han Xianchu felt that it was worth taking as much risk as possible. After participating in the revolution, the word "sister" was like being locked in Han Xianchu's mouth and never mentioned. But in his heart, apart from the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army, there was only his sister left. Why not say it with your mouth? Han Xianchu is an old-school soldier, not good at expressing his feelings, and he will not say his thoughts about his sister casually with his mouth, he will only think and read silently in his heart, and his sister is his weakness.
In addition, Han Xianchu was also afraid that once the word "sister" was spoken, his eyes would uncontrollably shed tears, which would be a shame. If someone does not believe that Han Xianchu's not mention of "sister" is because he misses her too deeply, let's see if Han Xianchu is the same for other family members.
Han Xianchu has 5 children. When the children came home from school, when Han Xianchu was at home, the staff would greet them with a reminder
"Your dad is at home"
。 This means:
Be quiet and honest, don't affect your dad's thinking, don't make him angry.
Although The Han Xianchu family lives together, they can live every day
"Reunion Moment"
Only sit at the table before eating. Han Xianchu would say:
"If you have anything to say, say it quickly."
If you don't say it, then it will only be said tomorrow- Han Xianchu ate quickly, and then he ended up and returned to the room.
When the children grew up, they all went to the army, and occasionally went home on vacation, talking about who in the army who was promoted quickly, who was whose child, and who was whose father was very powerful. Han Xianchu immediately glanced at the child:
"That's not my skill, it's your skill."
Then he got angry, and then he said that the children's was not. Han Xianchu looked a little unkind, but he loved this family very much. After having his daughter that year, Han Xianchu, who was a good hand in gun fighting and commanding troops, was a little overwhelmed, and when he picked up his daughter, he was worried about holding his weight, but he did not hold and itch his hands, so he often stood silly and watched.
No matter how busy the day is, Han Xianchu will take free time to see his daughter, hug and tease. When Han Xianchu was studying at the Nanjing Military Academy, when he finished his homework, he played with children as old as 13 years old and as young as 3 years old, and sometimes he was lying on the ground as a horse, leading the children to climb all over the house; there were also cats and cats, hiding everywhere, making a mess in the house, and Liu Zhi (Han Xianchu's wife) who was watching next to him really didn't know how to say it well.
Those three years were the happiest time for the family. When the children grew up, Han Xianchu was working and busy with state affairs, and such days were gone.
Because of his sister, Han Xianchu was interested in his hometown of Huang'an County (Hong'an County) in Hubei Province.
The Wu family has a special emotion. The third time Han Xianchu returned to his hometown was in the winter of 1981, when heavy snow fell in the mountains of northeast Hubei. Han Xianchu got up early according to his previous habits. On this day, after spending the night in the guest room of the Hong'an County Party Committee, he wanted to go back to his hometown of Wujiazui to visit the villagers. Outside, the cold wind was cold and the snow was flying, and the accompanying personnel and the county party committee staff considered Han Xianchu's physical health problems and advised him to go another day.
Han Xianchu, who was eager to return home, tried to overcome public opinion:
"Whoever said you can't go, none of you will go, and I'm going!"
After saying that, he put on his coat and went outside, and everyone had to follow and protect the old general. The car drove out of the county seat and drove 30 kilometers to the new market town. The commune cadres had long been waiting for Han Xianchu's arrival in the wind and rain, and Han Xianchu was very moved, and there seemed to be a warm current surging through his body, and he shook hands with the commune cadres one by one.
Wu Jiazuizi is five or six miles away from the town, and the car is no longer easy to drive in, Han Xianchu smiled and said to the commune cadres:
"I'm so strong that I can walk home, and I don't have many miles."
The entourage and the commune cadres were stunned to know that Han Xianchu was 68 years old and had some injuries and illnesses left over from the war years. Everyone hurriedly stopped Han Xianchu, so that he could talk about evil, and then let him agree to take a few villagers who wanted to meet him.
When Han Xianchu saw the two villagers with frozen hands, few clothes, and a cold shiver, his heart stung, and he decided to go back to the village to see for himself the life of the villagers. As soon as I entered, I found that the villagers in Quantun were wearing very thin and patched clothes, and the quilts covered were torn cotton wool, and the sight of the eyes made Han Xianchu's heart greatly shaken. He already had a heart attack, and after seeing the living conditions of the villagers, he suddenly had an angina attack and quickly took out a hand to cover his chest. The accompanying secretary reminded him to contain a piece of nitroglycerin, but Han Xianchu insisted on not taking it.
After returning to the county seat, Han Xianchu immediately called back to the Lanzhou Military Region and ordered people to quickly allocate 50,000 military coats to Hong'an County. The secretary was shocked and asked carefully:
"Where did you spend this money?"
Han Xianchu threw away his cane and said with anger:
"There is no place to spend, deduct from my salary, after I die, I will deduct my son's, my grandson's, and my children's descendants will deduct it."
After his mood calmed down, Han Xianchu said sadly to his secretary:
"Do you know how many people hongan died in the revolutionary war?" After liberation in 1949, the number of people was 330,000, and 140,000 were killed and killed in the war. Hong'an used to be called Huang'an, and the red characters of Hong'an were dyed with the blood of countless revolutionary martyrs; in the revolutionary war years, the people of Hong'an dedicated the last bowl of water, the last foot of cloth, the last pair of shoes, and the smallest man to the revolution. ”
Physical angina was nothing, and General Han Xianchu's mental heart ached even more.
It is said that when you look at a person, you can't see what he says, you have to see what he does, so that you can see clearly. From what General Han Xianchu did, what do we see?
Han Xianchu's sister also contributed her share to the revolutionary war. It is precisely because of the help of thousands of unsung heroes like Han Xianchu's sister that new China was founded. The sense of nationality was possessed by many Chinese of the revolutionary war years, in their own way
"Solve"
At that time, China was facing the crisis of national subjugation and extinction.
The relationship between Han Xianchu and his sister was also the feeling of countless revolutionary soldiers and their relatives behind them in that era. For us, this is a historical story, but for those martyrs and heroes who have experienced it firsthand, it is life. We must cherish the good life now.
The things of the world, the views of everyone, are known in the comments.
