In 1935, He Long and his wife Jian Xianren's child was born. However, more than half a month later, less than 20 days after He Long's daughter was born, the base area was frantically encircled and suppressed by Chiang Kai-shek. So the Red Army decided to move on a large scale. He Long and his wife wanted to temporarily entrust the child to the care of relatives, but the relatives moved away early in the morning. Therefore, you can only take your children to participate in the Long March first.
The road during the Long March was rough, and it was extremely difficult to walk through many swamps, snowy mountains, and meadows, and many Red Army soldiers fell on the Long March Road. And He Long's wife, Who had just given birth to a daughter, did not have the opportunity to sit in confinement, her body was already very weak, and it was even more difficult to take care of her daughter who was not yet a month old.
She thought of a way to put the child on her chest with a cloth bag so that she could take care of the child at any time. Due to food shortages, she often did not have enough to eat and had no nutrition, so she did not have milk. Therefore, Jian Xianren can only feed the child a little paste, and only when he encounters the village, he can find a fellow villager to feed the child.
Several times, Jian Xianren wanted to temporarily send the child to his hometown, but the child was always sick and very weak, and when she saw her daughter's thin little face, she couldn't help it.
On the way to climb a snowy mountain, the child was sick again, very sick, with a high fever that did not go away, and there was no crying for several days, and many people thought that the child was no longer able to do it. A comrade gave Jian Xianren a piece of flower cloth and said to Jian Xianren, "Wrap it up for the baby girl when she leaves." ”
Holding his dying daughter in his arms, Jian Xianren felt very uncomfortable. However, she did not want to give up her daughter like this. He Long also believed that the child's life was big and he would definitely survive, so he said to Jian Xianren with tears in his eyes: "Let's try some herbs for the child." The child was also angry, and a few days later he cried again.
Rather than worrying about his child getting sick, Jian Xianren was especially afraid of taking his child through the Kuomintang blockade. Because the child's crying can easily reveal their location, she must firmly block the child's mouth with a cloth strip in advance and never let her daughter cry. It wasn't until it reached safety that the strip of cloth could be taken out of her daughter's mouth. But every time she took it out, she would see the child's little blue face, and whenever this happened, Jian Xianren couldn't help but cry with pain.
However, Jian Xianren still endured the pain and blocked his daughter's mouth again and again to prevent being discovered by the enemy.
The Long March Road is bumpy and dangerous, and it is amazing that Jian Xianren and his daughter have persevered, and they have never fallen behind!
After arriving in northern Shaanxi, Zhou Enlai, who had rushed to offer condolences, hugged the child and said to the soldiers: "Our commander-in-chief He Long is fighting on the front line and cannot come over, but the little princess of the He Long family has come, and everyone is welcome." ”
