In 1952, the founding major general Li Wenqing returned to his hometown of Songzi City, Hubei Province, where he had been away for 22 years, and the city attached great importance to this and held a grand welcome ceremony, but Li Wenqing's mind was not on this, he was worried about a person, this person was his distant cousin, and also his former wife, Zhou Shumei.
After the ceremony, Li Wenqing returned to his former home, but saw Zhou Yumei and a man kneeling on the ground, saying "I'm sorry" in his mouth, why did Zhou Wenqing kneel down and apologize? What is the hidden secret behind it?
In 1910, Li Wenqing was born in a poor peasant family, the family only lived on the thin fields of the rented landlord's family, life was tight, Li Wenqing was the only son in the family, out of the idea of passing on the family and continuing the incense, his parents wanted him to start a family earlier.
However, the Li family was too poor, other families in the village were unwilling to marry their daughters to him, in desperation, the Li family's parents resisted great pressure, went to the door to ask for the daughter of a relative's family, and finally Li Wenqing and his distant cousin Zhou Yumei became relatives, when he was not yet 20 years old.
In 1927, a drought broke out in Li Wenqing's hometown, the grain grains were not harvested, and the peasants always watched the sky to eat, and the drought made the already poor life worse.
In order to make a living, After consultation, Li Wenqing and Zhou Yimei went to the landlord's house to help, Zhou Yimei went to the Li family of the big landlord in the village as a maid, and Li Wenqing went to the county town far away from his hometown as a long-term worker.
Although the days are hard, Li Wenqing still feels hopeful in his heart, just waiting to save some money and have another child, even if the day is on the right track, so Li Wenqing is very motivated, but the change of fate is sometimes in an instant.
Although Zhou Shumei was born poor, she was born very beautiful, and beauty sometimes caused disasters to the poor, and the young master of the landlord's family, Li Xuewu, took a fancy to Zhou Yimei.
Li Xuewu was a clumsy boy since he was a child, and his behavior was unreasonable, although he knew that Zhou Shumei had married a human wife, he did not take Li Wenqing in his eyes at all.
Soon after, Li Xuewu forcibly occupied Zhou Shumei, who was ashamed and angry, feeling difficult to face her husband, but at this moment Li Wenqing suddenly returned from abroad.
It turned out that Li Wenqing suddenly went mad when he was cultivating the land for the landlord, and when Li Wenqing subdued the cattle, the cattle died in less than half a day.
Returning home dejected, Li Wenqing found that Zhou Shumei was not in a good mood, and after several inquiries, Zhou Shumei tearfully told her husband about her humiliation.
The hatred of taking his wife was not shared, and Li Wenqing was suddenly angry and rushed to the gate, running to find Li Xuewu to settle the account, only to arrive at the door of the Li family and was caught by the family Ding and beaten violently.
Li Xuewu stood next to him and laughed at him with arrogance, and then Li Wenqing went several times, and the results were the same, before he could see Li Xuewu, he was beaten violently, and he almost lost half his life several times, and Zhou Yumei was also forcibly abducted by Li Xuewu.
Father knew that Li Wenqing was in pain in his heart, but the reality was so cruel, the other party was a rich landlord, and his family was just a poor peasant, how could he be able to defeat the other party?
Although Li Wenqing also knew in his heart that his father's words were right, he couldn't swallow this breath and wanted revenge, and at this moment, He Long's troops came to Hubei and were recruiting soldiers.
After the news reached the village, Li Wenqing moved the idea of joining the army, he had long heard that the Red Army was specially for the people, never bullied the poor, used to worry about his parents and wife, so he would not leave his hometown, but now his wife was robbed, his parents were also worried about this matter, a series of encounters made Li Wenqing firm in his determination to join the army.
Li Wenqing waited at the head of the village every day for the Red Army to come, so he waited for half a month, and finally waited for the Red Army.
He had just turned 20 at the time, was physically strong, and met the criteria for enlistment, so he successfully joined the Red Army.
In this way, Li Wenqing bid farewell to his parents, harbored hatred for the landlord, and officially began his military career.
There is a goal and there is motivation, Li Wenqing always remembers the hatred for Li Xuewu in his heart, as soon as he enters the army, he works very hard, no matter how hard the training is, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
When fighting, Li Wenqing on the battlefield has a "desperate sanlang" posture and always rushes to the front.
In 1932, Li Wenqing officially became a communist, and because of his bravery in battle and several small merits, he was soon promoted to platoon leader.
Soon after, the troops passed near Songzi City again, and seeing that they were so close to their hometown, the flame of revenge in Li Wenqing's heart burned even more vigorously, and when he thought of someone like Li Xuewu bullying men and women and fish and meat towns, he was eager to fight with him at once.
Hatred overwhelmed reason, Li Wenqing rushed back to his hometown with several subordinates, wanting to settle accounts with Li Xuewu, but Li Xuewu's family was a big landlord, with a wide network of contacts and well-informed news, and he had long fled after hearing the news of Li Wenqing's return.
Li Wenqing pounced on the air, and his heart was even more indignant, so he burned down the Li family's old mansion, and the villagers clapped their hands and applauded, for so many years, Li Xuewu's family was rich and unkind, and they didn't know how many things that hurt nature and reason, Li Wenqing's actions just gave everyone a fierce breath.
However, Li Wenqing was momentarily happy, but he caused trouble for himself, after returning to the army, Li Wenqing was locked up, although he obeyed the punishment, but he did not feel that he had done anything wrong, the instructor could also understand Li Wenqing's mood, seeing that he was so stubborn, they patiently enlightened him.
The instructor said, "You have been bullied and oppressed by landlord bullies, but which of us has not been bullied?" You can't just take personal hatred to heart, but also remember that it's class hatred. ”
Seeing that Li Wenqing's expression was a little loose, the instructor hit the iron while it was hot and continued: "Your wife was occupied by the landlord, and you went to theorize that she was beaten badly. This is because the landlords not only have money but also power, so why should we in the Red Army engage in revolution? It is to overthrow them, and only in this way can we take revenge on the entire landlord class. ”
The instructor's words made Li Wenqing open up, and he also realized how selfish his previous ideas were, "revenge to the whole class", this sentence was deeply imprinted in his heart.
After this incident, Li Wenqing's consciousness was quickly improved, and coupled with his great military achievements, he was soon promoted to company commander.
However, Li Wenqing could finally become a founding major general, and the speed of promotion was so fast that it was inseparable from two nobles, He Long and Liu Bocheng, without them, there would be no Li Wenqing's later achievements.
Li Wenqing met He Long shortly after he joined the army, and he Long saved his life.
In April 1931, in a fierce battle, Li Wenqing's right leg and abdomen were hit by a bomb, seriously injured, intestines were flowing outside, surrounded by gun smoke, Li Wenqing could not see where his comrades were, and did not have the strength to get up for help, so he had to use a broken bowl to clasp the wound in his abdomen and lie on the ground waiting for rescue.
The sky was getting dark, the surrounding area gradually quieted down, but no one appeared, just when he was most desperate, He Long led the Red Third Army to pass by here, found him dying, Li Wenqing only then retrieved a life, and since then he has regarded He Long as a savior.
He Long saved Li Wenqing's life, and Liu Bocheng saved Li Wenqing's future.
During the Long March, Li Wenqing was appointed as the regimental commander and led the soldiers to advance with difficulty, at that time our army was already short of food and clothing, and was often attacked by the enemy, after many confrontations, Li Wenqing's troops suffered heavy casualties, and they were about to be unable to hold on, fortunately, at this time they had reached the end of the grass, and everyone was invigorated, and they barely dragged their tired bodies forward.
Suddenly, there was a gunshot in front, which meant that there was a fierce battle going on not far away, Li Wenqing's team was originally responsible for breaking the queen, and it was supposed to be quick to support, but the team was really the end of the crossbow, and there was no heart, if it was barely rushed over, it was likely to be sacrificed in vain.
Thinking of this, Li Wenqing made a difficult decision and did not give the order to rush to support, and later Li Wenqing learned that it was the cavalry platoon of the headquarters that was fighting in the front, and they encountered the "encirclement and suppression" of the enemy army, and did not wait for support, and finally all died heroically.
Li Wenqing, who learned the truth, regretted it endlessly, almost wanted to apologize for his crime with death, and after arriving in Yan'an, the organization had to deal with this matter, Li Wenqing did not refute it, admitted all his mistakes, and said with tears: "Let Lao Tzu die on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese Resistance." ”
This sentence alarmed Liu Bocheng, who after understanding the origin of the matter, felt that Li Wenqing's approach was also excusable, so he came forward to intercede for him, which saved Li Wenqing's future and gave him the opportunity to wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions.
This incident left an extremely profound lesson for Li Wenqing, allowing him to grow a lot, have a greater awareness of the overall situation, and then repeatedly made great achievements.
For many years, Li Wenqing has been busy with the war, and there is no time and opportunity to return to his hometown to see, until 1952, after the development of all aspects is on the right track, Li Wenqing returned to his hometown after 22 years of absence.
At this time, Li Wenqing was already a middle-aged man in his 40s, and he was very emotional when he remembered the past, and the hatred of that year had long been put down, but what he did not expect was that his former wife Zhou Yimei actually knelt down with her current husband to apologize.
It turned out that after Zhou Xuewu was abducted by Li Xuewu that year, although she was reluctant, she was a weak woman who was unable to change her fate, so she had to admit her fate, and after Li Xuewu was tired of Zhou Xuewu, he sold her to a long-term worker as his wife.
In the past, people's ideas were more traditional, and Zhou Yimei felt that she had not been able to keep her name, and she was very sorry for Li Wenqing, so she knelt down and apologized.
After hearing about What happened to Sister Zhou, Li Wenqing sighed, personally helped her and her husband up, and said: "You are also suffering people, people oppressed by the landlord class, and now that the people of the whole country have been liberated, it is no longer the old society of cannibalism, and no one will bully you again." ”
Later, when Li Wenqing heard that Zhou And his wife were in difficulty, he often helped them.
As for Li Xuewu, he heard that the poor boy of the past had become a great general, and he had long been frightened that the six gods had no master, and he actually hanged himself.
The former enemy died, but Li Wenqing did not have any feeling of excitement, and now he has matured a lot after the baptism of war, Li Xuewu has done many evils over the years, and now he is also considered guilty.
In 1955, Li Wenqing was awarded the rank of major general, from a poor boy to a founding major general, Li Wenqing first joined the army to seek revenge on Li Xuewu, and later turned to fighting for the poor masses, Li Wenqing devoted most of his life to the great cause of liberation, which may be the reason for his achievements.
