The first half of the last century can be said to be a history of the revolution in blood and tears on the mainland, and I don't know how many ancestors have devoted their lives to saving the country.
Of course, among them, many like-minded comrades-in-arms came together and formed a revolutionary family, but many times, they had to face the pain of life and death.
In this case, it is relatively common for a person to have several marriages, including Li Youlan, the hero of the towel to be talked about today, who joined the Communist Party of China since she was a child, dedicated her youth to the revolutionary cause, and also gained two touching love of her own.

Li Youlan's family environment is not the same as everyone imagines, her family is not poor, on the contrary, it is quite rich.
As a well-known industrialist in the local area, her father Li Shanxiang not only created a good economic environment for Li Youlan, but also influenced Li Youlan with his patriotic ideas.
Although she was a girl, Li Shanxiang did not neglect to cultivate her, and sent her to school early to receive progressive ideological education.
Li Youlan has developed a very cheerful and assertive personality in school, which is very eye-catching, coupled with her beautiful and beautiful appearance, so that she can always make people quickly notice her.
Li Shanxiang was not just an ordinary businessman, he also participated in the Xinhai Revolution and became a participant in the Chinese Revolution, and later he has been participating in the secret anti-Japanese resistance in his hometown of Xiaogang and is a famous patriotic industrialist.
This had a great influence on Li Youlan, so as early as school, she joined the ranks of revolutionary fighters and became a member of the anti-war army.
Because his father had contacts with Zhou Enlai in the early days, Li Youlan was full of admiration for Zhou Enlai.
Later, the Red Army set up an important office in Wuhan, and Zhou Enlai was also there, and after learning this news, Li Youlan was full of yearning for it. In order to meet Zhou Enlai, he invited several classmates who participated in the revolution to go to Wuhan together.
At that time, the social environment was very turbulent, several female classmates may face many dangers along the way, and the persecution of the enemy may also occur at any time. But Li Youlan, with his bold and careful handling, finally arrived in Wuhan safely.
However, when they came to the office, they were stopped by the cadres on duty. Of course, the girls did not want to go back like this, and began to grind and soak up the staff officer, and finally met Zhou Enlai.
Zhou Enlai's affirmation and encouragement made Li Youlan and his classmates very excited, and soon under the advice of Zhou Enlai, they defected to the New Fourth Army, which was relatively close to Wuhan.
And it was also at this time that she met her first husband, that is, Xiang Ying, the political commissar of the New Fourth Army. The two, who were attracted to each other, soon got married. However, what people did not expect was that only two months after marriage, Xiang Ying died heroically.
This is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Li Youlan, her heart is full of great sorrow, but she can only silently turn grief into strength and devote her energy to the revolutionary cause.
Li Youlan had studied shorthand, so her job was mainly to take notes of meetings. Chen Yi once presided over a very important meeting, because the meeting required, and temporarily asked Zhang Aiping to share her management and combat experience.
Due to the hasty preparation, the speech was not written in advance, although Zhang Aiping gushed endlessly and clearly expressed her experience in daily combat and work, but this was a big problem for the meeting records.
Afterwards, Zhang Aiping saw the record and was very surprised to find that the stenographer recorded his speech at the meeting very completely and in detail, which also made him have a strong interest in Li Youlan.
It was also in this way that Li Youlan and Zhang Aiping met. At that time, both of them thought that this was the first time they had met each other, and Zhang Aiping even offered to let Li Youlan teach him the skill of shorthand.
Later, the two talked more and more, all the way to the female college students who came from the Wuhan office and their firm belief in wanting to meet Zhou Enlai. Li Youlan was surprised to find that Zhang Aiping was actually the cadre on duty who was blocking him at that time. Zhang Aiping, who learned all this, could not help but sigh for the fate between the two, and began to pay more and more attention to Li Youlan.
In 1942, two like-minded people got married. After marriage, life was bitter but happy, and the two were not only husband and wife, but also revolutionary comrades-in-arms, and walked through ups and downs together for more than sixty years.
After the end of the turmoil, Zhang Aiping returned to lead the research and development of nuclear missiles, and made outstanding achievements in her post, and finally became the vice premier of the State Council, which was deeply loved by the people.
Their eldest son, Zhang Xiang, also inherited his father's mantle and became a lieutenant general in the People's Liberation Army. The daughter's husband is Yu Zhengsheng, a leader at the state level.
Li Youlan's life, although there are ups and downs, but still harvested a beautiful love and a confidant lover. The two supported each other all their lives and educated their sons and daughters very well, and they joined the army, entered politics or struggled in other positions, and became the humeral force in the construction of the mainland country.
