In 1943, Yuan Jiaxing, 18 years old in Mianzhu County, was introduced to Li Suzhen, who was only 12 years old in Luojiang County, and soon after, the two fell in love and prepared to get married.
However, in the spring of 1944, Yuan Jiaxing was escorted to the front line to resist Japan, and before leaving, Yuan Jiaxing said to Li Suzhen: "Suzhen, I am going to become a soldier, and when I defeat the Japanese devils, I will come back and marry you." ”
Li Suzhen told Yuan Jiaxing to pay attention to safety, and said that she would definitely wait at home for him to return.
As soon as Yuan Jiaxing left, he never returned, nor did he carry home a letter. Later, she got the news that Yuan Jiaxing had been killed in battle, and she also received a three-month pension.
The people of the Yuan family persuaded her to find someone to marry again. But she knelt in front of Yuan Jiaxing's parents and said, "Father and mother, I was born as a member of the Yuan family, and I died as a ghost of the Yuan family, and now that Jiaxing is dead, I will honor you for a lifetime." ”
No matter how the people of the Yuan family persuaded, Li Suzhen just wouldn't leave, and firmly believed that Yuan Jiaxing was not dead, and she would wait for him to return.
The Yuan family was afraid that Li Suzhen would have an accident, so they temporarily took her in, and Li Suzhen was busy in the Yuan family and did her duty as a daughter-in-law.
Yuan's family was deeply moved and kept enlightening her: "You are so young, don't delay your whole life because of Jiaxing." I also found a lot of people to go to Li's house to talk about media, but they were all rejected by Li Suzhen: "Yuan Jiaxing is not dead, I must wait until he comes back to marry me." ”
Forced to marry
In 1948, the Yuan family sent Li Suzhen back to her hometown in Luojiang County, but Li Suzhen still refused to be told by others, saying that if Yuan Jiaxing died, she would never marry again for the rest of her life.
In this way, a few years have passed, li Suzhen has become an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old girl, and has also become a village women's committee member, a township propaganda officer, and a well-known "female celebrity".
Because they often work together, many people have a good feeling for her, and there are many people who take the initiative to entrust people to say that there are people, but Li Suzhen replied: "I have a husband, I am a soldier" and refused.
Whenever winter comes, Li Suzhen will go to the Yuan family to celebrate the New Year in the Yuan family, so as to prove to the world that she is already a husband with a wife.
Later, it was learned that she and Yuan Jiaxing were indeed engaged, but after Yuan Jiaxing had been arrested as a soldier in 1944, people were happy again, and they finally had the opportunity to marry Li Suzhen.
The cadres began to do Li Suzhen's work, asking her to follow the Communist Party and draw a clear line with the Kuomintang soldiers: "Your fiancé is a Kuomintang soldier, they fight the Communist Party, and if you still admit that you are the wife of a Kuomintang soldier, you will be sent to prison." But the good thing is that just by betrothed to the doll pro, you can completely deny this illegal marriage. Why be so stubborn in clinging to feudal consciousness?"
After several times of work, Li Suzhen still insisted that she was already engaged to Yuan Jiaxing and would not marry anyone else.
Later, by doing the work of Li Suzhen's father and brother, people asked her family to cooperate with the working group to carry out work and education, asking her to take the "revolutionary marriage" seriously, and at the same time issued a stern warning and an ultimatum, and if the revolutionary marriage was not accepted, the family would be counter-revolutionary.
Li Suzhen finally had no choice but to agree to choose a gay man in the task force to marry.
In 1952, Li Suzhen got married, and many leading comrades attended the marriage and also used her as a typical propaganda in Luojiang County, and even the Chuanxi Daily published articles.
After marriage, Li Suzhen and his wife are harmonious, filial to their parents, filial piety to their in-laws, and are known as a good wife and mother in people's mouths.
If there are no accidents in life, then two people will live like this, and may be an enviable model couple, but unfortunately, life will always give people a big "surprise".
In 1954, When Li Suzhen was teasing her one-year-old son at home, Yuan Jiaxing's mother rushed to her and said, "My son is not dead, he is in Xinjiang, and he wants you to go to Xinjiang to marry him." ”
This long-awaited good news has arrived at this time, which is not a happy thing for Li Suzhen, for her, it is simply a thunderbolt on a sunny day. After reading Yuan Jiaxing's letter, Li Suzhen burst into tears: "Jiaxing, why are you only writing now, I am already someone else's wife, I have waited for you for 8 years, people say that you sacrificed, what is the matter?" ”
The arrival of this letter immediately made Li Suzhen's family fall into difficulty, and this matter was quickly reflected in the township, and the village cadres first let Yuan Mother go back, and said: If Yuan Jiaxing is really a soldier in the People's Liberation Army, they will definitely return their fiancée who has been in love for many years.
Li Suzhen, who really could not bear the torture, went home and asked her brother to send a letter to Xinjiang, detailing his situation and asking him to find another girl to marry.
Soon after, Li Suzhen received a letter from Yuan Jiaxing, in which he expressed remorse for Li Suzhen's 8 years of waiting, and now there is no way, if Li Suzhen is willing, he can recognize her as a sister...
Forced to divorce
Originally, the matter could have ended successfully, Yuan Jiaxing recognized Li Suzhen as a sister, and Li Suzhen lived with her husband satisfactorily.
But life is about giving these people who have twists and turns some surprises and "surprises".
Just over a month after Li Suzhen received Yuan Jiaxing's letter, the Luojiang County Court wanted to forcibly demolish Li Suzhen's marriage. The cadres of the working group and the village cadres also came to mobilize Li Suzhen to divorce, but Li Suzhen and her husband looked at the face of the doll and resolutely refused to divorce.
The cadres persuaded her: "The comrades of the revolution must obey the command of the Party, and the revolution now needs you to divorce, you must divorce ...
"At the beginning, I made it clear that I would not get married, you will force my work, today, we are married and have children, and we are going to break us up, no matter what, I can't say it, please complete our family!" 」
However, the cadres told her that the marriage between Li Suzhen and Yuan Jiaxing belonged to the military marriage, and the current marriage has become a destruction of the military soul, and we Communists must protect the marriage of the People's Liberation Army.
Soon after, Li Suzhen and her husband went to the county court to hear the divorce case, and the two defended in court for various reasons that the marriage between the two was free love, but unfortunately the court resolutely refused to recognize it. Li Suzhen took out Yuan Jiaxing's letter, but none of them were identified.
"Where did today's happy life come from?"
"The Communist People's Liberation Army won by fighting the enemy."
"The People's Liberation Army fights the enemy born into death, and we do not protect the marriage of the People's Liberation Army to protect whose marriage?"
Li Suzhen's husband was put on the hat of sabotaging military marriage and forcibly divorced, Li Suzhen could not think straight, and was sent to the county town to study for more than 40 days. That night, the mother-in-law could not stand this anger and died, the father-in-law was also angry shortly after, and the husband was ill.
A marriage that was forced to be married, and finally forced to divorce.
Li Suzhen hugged her 1-year-old son and came to the river many times, but in the end she did not have the heart to abandon the child, and she had no choice but to hold the child to Mianzhu.
The story that happened to Yuan Jiaxing
Yuan Jiaxing, who was far away in Xinjiang, learned of Li Suzhen's situation, and he was extremely distressed and rushed back, and people also knew the story that happened to him.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yuan Jiaxing's unit surrendered to the uprising, and a very small number of diehards were annihilated, so it was considered that the entire army was destroyed.
Later, Yuan Jiaxing became a guard by Wang Zhen's side, and was born and died many times by his side, protecting Wang Zhen's life many times.
Later, Yuan Jiaxing got a skin disease, Wang Zhen every time he went to a city, he inquired whether there was a powerful dermatologist, and then Wang Zhen learned about his situation, knew that he was engaged in his hometown, and smiled and said: "Well, you should have a wife to take care of it, get this disease, I have asked a lot of doctors, not good doctors!" ”
In this regard, Yuan Jiaxing always smiled and said that he would wait until after the liberation of the whole country.
After the liberation of Xinjiang, Yuan Jiaxing's skin disease became more severe, but fortunately a cure was found, but he needed to apply medicine frequently.
Wang Zhen asked Yuan Jiaxing to write a letter again, asking Li Suzhen to come and take care of him.
Yuan Jiaxing refused, in his opinion, Li Suzhen has been engaged to himself since he was 12 years old, and now a few years later, people are already in their 20s, so many years of soldiers and horses are in chaos, and I don't know if she is married, not to mention that the girls in Sichuan are married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
Wang Zhen said, in this case, find a girl in Xinjiang to settle down!
"No, commander, I can't promise to find a Xinjiang girl to settle down for the time being until I get news from my family."
Soon after, someone in the army really introduced him to a girl from Xinjiang, and the other party was also very good, not disgusted that he had a skin disease, but Yuan Jiaxing considered the promise he made at home, and rejected the girl.
Wang Zheng asked him why, and Yuan Jiaxing said that he had written home to inquire about the situation, and he would talk about it after he got the letter.
A few days later, Yuan Jiaxing received a reply and learned that Li Suzhen was very good to his family and was still waiting for him to go back and was not yet married. However, the letter did not reach Li Suzhen's hands, and she did not know that Yuan Jiaxing was still alive.
Wang Zhen hurriedly asked him to write a letter back and ask Li Suzhen to come to the army.
However, Yuan Jiaxing was worried about his skin disease and wanted to wait until he was cured, as long as he knew that she was not married.
The year was 1952.
His waiting, waiting for the problem, Li Suzhen was forced to get married.
In 1953, Wang Zhen was transferred to the commander of the railway troops, and before leaving, he was still worried about Yuan Jiaxing's marriage and cared about his body, so he asked Yuan Jiaxing to take care of Li Suzhen.
Before leaving, he also instructed other comrades of the military region to bring Li Suzhen to the troops. The troops sent a telegram to Mianzhu as ordered, that is, the letter that Yuan Mu had taken.
Later, he received a reply from Li Suzhen, knowing that Li Suzhen was now married and had children, and he was immediately sad.
The head of the unit guessed his situation and asked Luojiang County for verification in the name of the military region. I don't know who wrote back to the troops, saying that they would resolutely correct Li Suzhen's marriage and send her to the army.
outcome......
Yuan Jiaxing decided to find a girl to marry in Xinjiang, but at this time, no one dared to violate the documents issued by the central authorities long ago to severely crack down on the crime of sabotaging military marriages, and soon Li Suzhen was also forced to divorce...
Knowing that Li Suzhen had been divorced, Yuan Jiaxing was suddenly caught in a dilemma, and could only wash his face with tears.
Later, he wrote to Luojiang County, asking for Li Suzhen's marriage to be reinstated and his husband's charge of sabotaging a military marriage, but he never received a reply.
Yuan Jiaxing, who was really worried about Li Suzhen, returned to his hometown at the urging of the head of the unit.
Yuan Jiaxing, who returned home, could only marry Li Suzhen...
Originally, Yuan Jiaxing was going to return to the army, but after looking at Li Suzhen's mother and son, he finally decided to stay.
After marriage, the two had a very difficult life, but the two never quarreled once.
After Wang Zhen left Xinjiang, he had been worried about Yuan Jiaxing's marriage, and after learning that Li Suzhen was married, he sighed, and when he heard that the troops had written to ask for Li Suzhen's marriage to be dissolved, he waited for Yuan Jiaxing to return to get married, and he was a little angry: "People are already married, so why should they?" ”
Wang Zhen wrote several times to Yuan Jiaxing to inquire about the situation and invited him to Beijing, but each time the letter was withheld by the village, and when Wang Zhen was the vice president of the state, the village returned a letter to him, telling him about Yuan Jiaxing's situation, because the countryside was too busy, there was no way to go to Beijing to meet the old chief.
By the time Li Suzhen and Yuan Jiaxing learned of Wang Zhen's letters, General Wang Zhen had been dead for several years.
For this experience of the elderly Li Suzhen, where did it go wrong?
Was it that Yuan Jiaxing did not take Li Suzhen to the army in time, or was Li Suzhen forced to get married, or was she forced to divorce? Or should the troops not write to Luojiang County?
It seems that there are all mistakes, but there seems to be no mistakes...
