When New China was in dire straits, many young people took up arms to carry out the revolution, hoping to change the fate of the motherland through their own efforts. Many of them left their hometowns at a very young age and returned to their hometowns. For example, there was a man who sneaked off to join the revolution at the age of 16 and only returned home again when the army passed through his hometown. But at this time, his mother did not know him anymore, and this person was Zheng Guozhong.
Secretly join the army
Zheng Guozhong was born into an ordinary family, because China was very chaotic at that time, so his family was very poor, so he could not get an education, and he was sent to a local tailor's family as an apprentice at a very young age. Because of this, Zheng Guozhong spent his childhood learning sewing techniques with his master, and later returned home after his successful graduation.
But learning the technique of tailoring did not help her life, which deeply shocked Zheng Guozhong, and also allowed him to witness the suffering of the people's lives, so he was determined to find a new way out to change the lives of the people, and because of this, after the outbreak of the uprising in Huang'an County, he had the idea of participating in the revolution.
Zheng Guozhong knew very well in his heart that his parents were not willing to let him join the army. In fact, such a thinking is also very normal, after all, every parent does not want their children to go on the battlefield. But Zheng Guozhong had already made up his mind, so he secretly left his home to join the revolution.
He made great achievements and became the deputy commander
At the time when Zheng Guozhong participated in the revolution, it was the early stage of the Red Army revolution, so the situation he faced was very grim, not only did he need to face the encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang reactionaries, but at the same time, the landlords' armed forces were also a very great threat to the Red Army. However, even in the face of this dangerous situation, Zheng Guozhong never wavered in his determination, but instead stubbornly fought against the enemy and achieved a lot of achievements.
It was precisely because of Zheng Guozhong's excellent performance that he was recognized by the organization, and was quickly absorbed by the organization as a party member, and was also appointed as the battalion commander. Since then, he has been very much valued by Xu Xiangqian and personally taught by his side. It is precisely because of this that Zheng Guozhong's ability has been improved again, and he has made countless contributions during the Long March. Later, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he severely damaged the Japanese Air Force and made the first contribution to the Hundred Regiments War.
In the ensuing war, Zheng Guozhong also made great contributions, so that his position was continuously promoted, and he soon became a deputy commander. It was also in the process of the conquest that Zheng Guozhong returned to his hometown again, but what he did not expect was that the other party did not recognize him when he finally saw his mother.
Back home, my parents didn't recognize me
At that time, Zheng Guozhong returned to his home after receiving the approval of his superiors, but he did not change out of his military uniform, but directly appeared in the village where he grew up. Since he had been away from home for 18 years at this time, the village had also undergone great changes, and Zheng Guozhong could not find his home for a while. At this moment, he saw an old lady ready to come forward and ask for directions, and his dress naturally frightened the old lady.
Later, the two elderly people in the family who talked between the two sides learned that it was their son who was in front of them, and they couldn't help but burst into tears for a while. However, because of the tension of the war, he did not stay at home for a long time, and soon returned to the army, although at this time his parents were still very worried about him, but did not stop, just hoping that the child could make more contributions to the motherland.
Conclusion: It is precisely because of the hard work of these revolutionary predecessors that our lives have become better and better, and their spirit is also worth learning and remembering by all of us, I believe that in the future, more and more young people will be infected by this spirit.
