In China's feudal era, women's status was generally inferior, and they were even traded as commodities. In the revolutionary years, although some people came into contact with progressive ideas, most ordinary people still stayed in the feudal era. For example, the child bride at that time was one of many bad habits. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a founding major general who returned to his hometown and took his wife home to worship his ancestors, but found that the child bride he married when he was young was still waiting for his return.
The founding major general's name was Yi Yaocai, and he was born in 1917 in Taihe, Jiangxi. Although the name is loud, but his parents are authentic farmers, to give their son this name, but also hope that he will grow up, can have a role, Guangzong Yaozu. It is precisely because the parents are farmers, so the feudal thinking is relatively heavy, in the year when Yi Yaocai was ten years old, the husband and wife have begun to find a daughter-in-law for their son.
This kind of thing would feel inconceivable now, but in those days, examples of getting married and having children as teenagers abounded, and finally parents brought back a girl his age. The girl's name is Zhang Feng'e, she looks like a water spirit, and has a gentle and introverted personality. Although he is not very old, he can do housework. Parents also like this child bride very much. At that time, Yi Yaocai had not yet come into contact with progressive ideas, and there was no resistance to this kind of thing that most people were not surprised by, so the two of them deservedly married.
This kind of stable life did not last long, and the warlords everywhere were fighting each other, making the already poor life even more difficult to sustain. At that time, Jiangxi could also be regarded as a revolutionary base area, and Yi Yaocai, who gradually came into contact with revolutionary ideas, planned to join the army and display his ambitions. At first, his parents did not agree, but Yi Yaocai was firm in his heart, and his parents had to support him to go out and have a fight. In 1931, Yi Yaocai, who left home, officially became a member of the Communist Party.
After joining the revolutionary ranks, Yi Yaocai seems to have found his best home, starting as a soldier, and every time there is a revolutionary activity, he will rush to the front line. Not long after joining the army, he was promoted from a soldier to an instructor. Yi Yaocai, who has made many contributions to the neutrality of the troops, is still thinking about when to pass the news home and make his parents happy for their son. But before he could tell his parents, he received bad news first.
The Kuomintang reactionaries failed to encircle and suppress the Red Army and began to attack the red army's family, and Yi Yaocai's parents died at the hands of the reactionaries. When he received the news, he was grief-stricken, but he was a revolutionary fighter, and even if he was sad in his heart, he had to turn his grief and anger into strength. Because he knew that only by following the Communist Party could the masses of the people throughout the country no longer suffer similarly. Because the news was closed at that time, Yi Yaocai thought that Zhang Feng'e had also been killed.
The persecution of his family by the reactionaries further strengthened his revolutionary will. It just so happened that the Red Army encountered the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression and had to carry out a strategic shift, and he no longer had any worries, and he embarked on the road of the Long March with the large troops. After that, Yi Yaocai devoted all his energy to the revolutionary cause. This made him, who was already quite talented, bloom a more dazzling light, and made great achievements in the liberation war and the War of Resistance Against Japan.
As Yi Yaocai's position became higher and higher, the superior leaders also began to care about his lifelong affairs. After the party organization learned of his encounter, it arranged a blind date for him. Who ever wanted to go on a blind date this time, the woman and Yi Yaocai felt that each other was not suitable, but it was a friend brought by the woman, and Yi Yaocai talked very happily, her name was Fan Jingyang. After this meeting, Yi Yaocai and Fan Jingyang already had each other in their hearts.
Later, under the mediation of the organization, the two had more understanding of each other, and finally joined hands to form a couple. After the end of the Liberation War, there was no war, and Yi Yaocai finally idled. It was only this idleness that made him think of his family who had been killed by the reactionaries and his hometown, where he had not returned for a long time. In order to return to his hometown to see and pay homage to his parents, Yi Yaocai took his wife and returned to his hometown together.
After the two of them went back, they immediately went to Yi Yaocai's former home, originally he thought that the house that no one lived in for many years must have been dilapidated, who had thought of it and found that there seemed to be people living in this old house. Although it was shabby, everything around was clean and tidy. The couple pushed the door and entered the house, and found that there was a woman working in the house, this woman was no one else, it was Zhang Feng'e, the child daughter-in-law whom Yi Yaocai had originally married.
It turned out that Zhang Feng'e escaped a disaster and was not killed, but she always remembered that Yi Yaocai had to wait for her before leaving, and in order to wait for Yi Yaocai, she simply lived in the old house again, and waited until the end of the war. When the two said goodbye, the time had passed, and Fan Jingyang admired her quality and invited her to follow the two back to the city to live, but Zhang Feng'e refused. She waited for Yi Yaocai all her life, and finally she could see each other again, which was also a way to let go of the obsession in her heart.
