As the saying goes, "The hatred of taking a wife is like the hatred of killing a father, and it is not shared with heaven." "In feudal society, the bad deeds of landlords and bullies robbing people's women have occurred frequently, and they have used their own power to bully men and women to do no evil. As ordinary people at the lowest level of society, they dare to be angry but dare not speak out, which undoubtedly encourages their arrogance.
And our protagonist Li Wenqing today was brutally bullied by bullies, who not only occupied his wife, but also punched and kicked her. With a vendetta against the bully and his wife, Li Wenqing chose to join the Red Army of the Communist Party of China to escape the unfair fate. When someone asked why Li Wenqing joined the army, he always said viciously: "I want revenge." ”
The hatred of wife-snatching
In 1910, Li Wenqing was born in Songzi, Hubei Province, to a poor peasant family that lived on renting a few thin plots of land from landlords. Due to the family's tightness, Li Wenqing has been with labor since he remembered and felt the bitterness of life.
At the age of 17, under the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, he married his cousin Zhou Yimei. The arrival of his wife can also be regarded as bringing a sweetness to Li Wenqing's life, although it is hard, but also comfortable. Such a beautiful day lasted only three years before it was broken by a drought that swept through Hubei.
In 1930, a sudden drought made the already poor families worse, and the land on which they depended was not harvested. In order to live, the couple had to find another way out. Li Wenqing found a cattle herding job in Linxian County, and his wife Zhou Yimei worked as a maid in the local Li Xuewu family, the second young master of the Li family.
One morning, li Wenqing, as usual, led his cattle up the mountain to graze before dawn. On the way, the always docile cow suddenly broke free of Li Wenqing's traction and ran straight ahead, crashing around like crazy. Although Li Wenqing was very confused, he could only run in the direction of the cow.
Li Wenqing trotted all the way to the wheat field in the distance to find the old cow. Just when Li Wenqing was about to go forward to find out, the old cow actually fell to the ground, and his stomach swelled, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he died.
The sudden and violent death of the old cow, As a cattle herder, Li Wenqing naturally could not get rid of it, and the landlord insisted that Li Wenqing had killed the cow and demanded compensation from Li Wenqing. The landlord deducted Li Wenqing's salary for a year to compensate for the loss of cattle and drove him out of the house. Li Wenqing could not argue with a hundred mouths, and only gray slipped home.
He planned to go to see his wife first, the couple had not seen each other for half a year, and Li Wenqing really wanted to panic. He knocked on the door of the Li family according to his excitement, but just after he explained his intentions, the housekeeper invited servants to beat him up.
Li Wenqing, who was already aggrieved, was treated like this again, and he ran home very angrily and asked his father why. Only then did he learn that during the time he was out, Li Xuewu saw that Zhou Yumei was young and beautiful, and even took her as a concubine. He also sent someone to intimidate Li Wenqing's father so that he would not seek his own suffering.
Where did the young and vigorous Li Wenqing suffer this grievance, he rushed into the kitchen, snatched the kitchen knife from his mother's hand, and planned to fight with the landlord. Seeing his son's posture, Father Li grabbed the kitchen knife and pressed his son to the ground. Even though Li Wenqing wailed, he did not let go of it.
Until Li Wenqing's mood was stable, Father Li said bitterly: "Son, why are you so bitter, not only can you not save your sister, but even you yourself will be put in." We untouchables, who cares if we live or die? You might as well go and beg the Third Young Master of the Li Family, if he is willing to help, maybe things will turn around. ”
Compared with his second brother Li Xuewu, the Third Young Master of the Li Family was not only sympathetic to his subordinates, but also more upright. At this time, the Third Young Master became Li Wenqing's life-saving straw.
The next morning, Li Wenqing bought some gifts with all his savings and walked towards the Third Young Master's Mansion. When Li Wenqing, under the guidance of his servants, came to the bedroom of the Third Young Master, the Third Young Master was leaning on the bed and smoking a big cigarette.
After the Third Young Master saw Li Wenqing, he saw the gift in Li Wenqing's hand and instantly understood Li Wenqing's intentions. He said with a somber face: "My second brother's admiration for your wife is your blessing, you don't know how to be grateful, how?" Still want to go back? Come on people, blow this mischievous guy out of me. ”
As soon as the words stopped, two strong men came in from outside the door and threw Li Wenqing out. Before leaving, he also beat Li Wenqing severely, humiliated Li Wenqing, and spit on his face.
The Road to Revenge
This blow made Li Wenqing completely recognize the faces of the landlords and bullies, and also completely broke all of Li Wenqing's illusions about them. Years of resentment against the landlord came to mind, he wanted to take back his wife, he wanted to return the humiliation he had suffered to them. The seeds of revenge were planted in Li Wenqing's heart, and this revenge was not a gentleman!
At this time, the Red Army led by He Long was active in the Hubei area, and they recruited many peasants to join the army, and their strength became more and more powerful. Li Wenqing knew that this was an opportunity to change his fate and take revenge on his wife. So after a brief goodbye to his parents, he embarked on a journey to join the army.
Motivated by revenge, Li Wenqing officially became a member of the Red Army. After that, no matter how difficult the task he encountered, as long as he thought of the hatred of taking his wife, he was not afraid. Li Wenqing gritted his teeth and charged against the enemy's artillery fire. He fought and dared to fight, which was deeply appreciated by the generals of the Red Army, and in less than a year, he became a platoon leader.
That is, in this year, the Red Army once again returned to Li Wenqing's hometown to carry out activities, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Li Wenqing. At night, Li Wenqing took two warriors and quietly sneaked back to his hometown under the cover of night, planning to be ashamed of the snow.
But when Li Xuewu heard the wind, he had long since disappeared, and the Li family had already gone to the empty building. Li Wen was angry, but a fire burned the Li family.
After returning to the unit, Li Wenqing took the initiative to admit his mistake to the instructor. The instructor was angry and pointed at Li Wenqing's nose and asked, "What did you join the army for?" ”
Li Wenqing still replied in a self-righteous manner: "I joined the army for revenge!" ”
This really made the instructor angry, and he scolded: "Li Wenqing, you just can't support the wall with mud, who in the Red Army has not been bullied by bullies?" We should not vent on a certain bully, we should overthrow this class. Only then will there be no such thing happening in China. ”
The instructor's words made Li Wenqing suddenly enlightened, and let Li Wenqing understand the root cause of the problem. Only when the revolution succeeds and the landlord class is eliminated can the great revenge be repaid and the millions of Chinese saved from humiliation.
This incident made Li Wenqing's revolutionary conviction even firmer, and he threw himself into the revolution with this conviction. He successively participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and made outstanding achievements.
Go back to your hometown
After the founding of New China in 1949, Li Wenqing was appointed deputy commander of the Northern Sichuan Military Region. It was not until 1952, due to the needs of work, that Li Wenqing returned to his hometown again.
At this time, it has been 22 years since Li Wenqing joined the revolution, and his hometown has long been a matter of human beings. When Li Wenqing pushed open the door of the house, he found his former wife Zhou Shumei kneeling on the ground, crying and saying to Li Wenqing: "Li Xuewu knows that you are going to come back and have committed suicide, I am sorry for you." ”
It turned out that after Li Wenqing burned Down Li Xuewu's house, Li Xuewu actually burned Down Li Wenqing's home and drove Li Wenqing's parents out of the area. This time, when he heard that Li Wenqing was coming back and had already been promoted to deputy commander, he was so frightened that he committed suicide.
Li Wenqing stepped forward to help Sister Zhou up and said softly, "Rest assured, you will never be bullied again, the old society has passed!" ”
General Li Wenqing has used his life to practice his beliefs. By their efforts, the landlord class was overthrown, a new society was ushered in, and oppression and exploitation were abolished. Countless Chinese raised their heads and stood up.
