introduction
"A hundred years of cultivation to cross the same boat, a thousand years to cultivate to sleep together", this sentence reflects the ancients' yearning and difficulty in loving a lifetime of men and women, and it is simply a blessing from heaven to be able to meet a lover like a confidant in a lifetime. However, as the social atmosphere becomes more and more impetuous, people's lives are full of fame and fortune, and few people can find a pure love. In the revolutionary period, such firm and sincere love was more common, and the revolutionary men and women who married as couples were even more enviable.
After being a large family, the people or things that Wang Guangmei came into contact with since she was a child had a deep impact on her, and she could have lived a stable and comfortable life according to her parents' plan, but she chose the revolution at the most difficult moment and chose the revolutionary worker - Liu Shaoqi. Although Liu Shaoqi could not give her any glory and wealth, the love between the husband and wife had long been beyond all the materials in the world, and even death could not separate the couple.
01
Why did Wang Guangmei give up her future and choose the revolutionary road? It all started with her upbringing. Wang Guangmei's parents were both social elites during the Republic of China period, and his father, Wang Zhichang, was admitted to a new-style school and studied abroad when he was young, and after returning to China, he served as a senior official in the Beiyang government.
And her mother, Dong Jieru, comes from Shuxiang Mendi, and has been sent to a girls' school to study hard since she was a child, with an vision and thought that far exceeds that of women of the same age. The husband and wife have raised many children in their lives, and have continuously taught them revolutionary ideas, hoping that one day they will be able to make contributions to the country and become a young person with lofty ideals and ambitions.
As the younger child in the family, Wang Guangmei is different from ordinary girls and has a very high talent in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Because her father was usually busy with work, most of the time she grew up under the guidance of her mother Dong Jieru, from whom she learned gentleness, virtuousness, and useful revolutionary ideas.
When Wang Guangmei grew up, she aspired to become a world-renowned female physicist, an ideal that seemed like a pipe dream to people at the time, because there were almost no female scientists in the scientific community before that. This means that Wang Guangmei has to endure countless sneers, difficulties and obstacles in the process of realizing her ideals in life, but these setbacks have further stimulated her competitive spirit.

In the process of Wang Guangmei's hard reading, her brothers and sisters have successively thrown themselves into the anti-Japanese movement to save the dead, in which her brother Wang Guangfu became an excellent fighter pilot and once shot down eight Japanese aircraft. These heroic deeds also deeply touched Wang Guangmei's heart, and she was also eager to contribute her share to the front line.
Until 1946, Wang Guangmei waited for this opportunity, the Chinese Communist delegation was about to start negotiations with the American representatives, and the party organization approached Wang Guangmei and hoped that she could work as a translator. Wang Guangmei resolutely gave up her plan to study abroad and voluntarily contributed her strength to the party organization, and her sincerity also impressed the leading cadres and parents of the party organization.
After the outbreak of the civil war, Wang Guangmei was transferred to Yan'an to continue her work, and at the age of 25, she met a destined person, Liu Shaoqi. At that time, Liu Shaoqi was 50 years old, and he had also had many marriages, but unfortunately the ending ended in regret.
At first, the two were only superior-subordinate relationships, Wang Guangmei would often come to the office to help him deal with the work, and after a long time, the two became acquainted. Under the guidance and help of Liu Shaoqi, Wang Guangmei's thinking has been greatly improved, and her application to join the party has also been approved. From then on, Wang Guangmei was full of admiration for Liu Shaoqi, and the two quickly established a relationship and held a wedding the following year.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Shaoqi was entrusted with heavy responsibilities, and his daily itinerary was fully arranged. As a wife, Wang Guangmei knows that her husband suffers from stomach problems, and if she can't eat hot meals in time, it will be very uncomfortable, so she personally brings hot meals for her husband and accompanies him until late at night.
The loving couple also gave birth to a son, who was General Liu Yuan, but both were imprisoned during the special period. In prison, Wang Guangmei has never shaken her heart, and she firmly believes that it will not be long before she is reunited with her family.
This wait was ten years long, and after Wang Guangmei was released from prison, she learned the bad news that Liu Shaoqi died of illness in prison, and at that moment she felt that the whole world collapsed and was destroyed. In the company of her son Liu Yuan, her life slowly improved and she began to accept the reality that her husband had passed away.
It wasn't until 1983 that Wang Guangmei finally offered to visit her husband's hometown, and Liu Yuan immediately arranged a trip to accompany her to walk on the land where her father once lived. Looking at every inch of the mountains and rivers in Liu Shaoqi's hometown, Wang Guangmei was also slightly relieved in her heart, as if her husband was still silently accompanying her.
epilogue
Born into a wealthy family and willing to dedicate his good years to the revolution, it is not common for people like Wang Guangmei to have determination. It is a pity that this once beautiful Qianjin has long lost its former style, and the final ending is not satisfactory, which can only make people sigh "creating and making people".
