Written on the front: Even if your tear point is high, there will always be a power that will make you cry!
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">01</h1>
41 years ago, one afternoon in March 1980, Comrade Zhou Zhenxing, then secretary of the Heze Prefectural Party Committee, was entrusted by the old leader General Yang Dezhi to visit General Yang Qiaoyun, the former landlord of General Yang' house.
According to Secretary Zhou's consistent work style, he did not stay in the county and township organs, but went straight to Hongsan Village accompanied by the secretary of the Caoxian County Party Committee and the Minister of Armed Forces.
At this time, Yi Qiaoyun was 83 years old, and this old Communist Party member who had dedicated most of his life to the Chinese revolution had been sick and bedridden for many days.
When Secretary Zhou sat on the edge of the kang and held the eldest lady's thin hand and asked her what she wanted, the eldest lady opened her mouth and hesitated, and also showed an expression that was difficult to say, and only whispered after Secretary Zhou repeatedly asked:
"I just want to eat half a bowl of pork with lean weight."
The eldest lady just finished speaking, and felt regretful, quickly owed it, patted the back of Secretary Zhou's hand with her other hand, and said embarrassedly:
"Secretary Zhou, that's what I think, you don't have to be serious."
After Secretary Zhou listened, he burst into tears on the spot. This old revolutionary, who has always been known for his low-key work style and who established flesh-and-blood ties with the masses during the Liberation War, cried like a child in the face of the demands of the eldest bride: "Old man, blame me, blame me!" I'm sorry for you! ”
Secretary Zhou immediately stood up and took out a wad of money from his pockets. That night, the eldest lady ate pork with "fat and lean".
Shortly thereafter, Secretary Zhou held a meeting of the county party committee in Cao County. At the meeting, he told with tears in his eyes about the sacrifices made by Lady Yi Qiaoyun for the revolution, and secretary Zhou became more and more excited the more he talked, and finally said in an extremely sad tone:
"Now, under our leadership, the old man is seriously ill and can't eat half a bowl of pork with lean weight." Comrades, do we still have the face to be this secretary? ”
Speaking of this, Secretary Zhou suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself with a loud slap, and then said in an incomparably painful voice: "Are the faces of our secretaries, big and small, still called faces?" ”
At this time, the whole venue was silent. Suddenly, the secretary of the CaoXian County Party Committee, who was sitting next to Secretary Zhou, cried out:
"Secretary Zhou, the person who should be beaten is me, it's me!" Please deal with me! ”
For a while, all the participants lowered their heads with red faces and quietly put away the "work achievement" report draft prepared in advance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">02</h1>
In the title, the reason why I associate this matter with Liang Da Niang in "The Wreath Under the Mountain" is because Yi Qiao Yun Da Niang, like Liang Da Niang, has made great sacrifices for the Chinese revolution.
Moreover, they are all the masses in the old revolutionary areas of Shandong.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Lady Yi Qiaoyun not only threw her family into support of the revolution, but her husband Liu Qibin and her three sons also sacrificed their precious lives for the founding of New China.
Liu Qibin, the husband of the eldest bride, was born in 1908 in Liugang Village, Hanji Town, Cao County, and was admitted to Peking University in 1931, and when the "Cao County Youth Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress" was established in 1938, Liu Qibin was elected as the president of the Salvation Congress.
Liu Qibin is erudite and talented, his family is well-off, and he always has the ambition to serve the country. In 1941, when he was the commissioner of the 22nd Special Office of the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Border Region, he spoke from the bottom of his heart in front of tens of thousands of people:
When I am a commissioner, I am a servant of the people, just like a long-term worker for the people.
After he married Lady Yi Qiaoyun, it was the most difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, so their home became a "revolutionary hotel" for the anti-Japanese soldiers.
In February 1939, General Yang Dezhi was ordered to carry out anti-war work in the southwest region of Lu, and lived in the home of Lady Yi Qiaoyun at that time.
At that time, Yi Qiaoyun's family was like a big revolutionary family, this group of people had just left, and another group of comrades had come here to rest their feet.
In order to take good care of the comrades, the eldest lady cooked up to nine meals a day, burned more than a dozen pots of water, and in order to let the comrades eat well and have the strength to fight the devils, the eldest lady sold all the valuable things in the family.
For the sake of the revolution, when the eldest bride sold her valuable dowry, there was really nothing to sell, and the eldest bride asked her husband Liu Qibin what to do, and Liu Qibin said, "Sell the tree."
Not long after, the eldest bride asked her husband what to do, and Liu Qibin said, "Sell the land and survive this pass."
In 1942, Liu Qibin, who held a leadership position, was seriously ill and bedridden, and in order to take care of him, the organization specially approved a few pounds of eggs to supplement his body.
During this period, the eldest bride took her son to see him, and the son watched his father eat the remaining half bowl of eggs very hungry, and he said that he wanted to eat eggs. What people did not expect was that Liu Qibin stopped his son on the spot:
"This is the care of the party and the people for me, so that I can recover my health and work better as soon as possible." Although children are small, they cannot eat casually. The remaining half, the next meal is hot, can't it deal with one meal again? ”
Portrait of martyr Liu Qibin
Shortly thereafter, Comrade Liu Qibin coughed frequently and his health deteriorated. Before dying, he said to his comrades around him:
"After I die, you can hold a small memorial service, be sure to save, inform the people from all counties to bring their own dry food, and boil a pot of boiling water." No special care is given to family members, so that they can support themselves. Please comrades, don't be sad, you do a good job is the greatest comfort to me! ”
On May 29, 1942, Liu Qibin died of illness at the age of 34. A year later, the Southwest Lu Prefectural Committee changed the northwestern region of Cao County to Qibin County to commemorate the martyr Liu Qibin.
After this, Lady Yi Qiaoyun sent three sons to the team one after another, so that the sons could inherit the legacy of their father Liu Qibin. These three sons also went forward in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation and died heroically.
Writing this, we can understand why Secretary Zhou slapped himself. Because the eldest bride's family can be described as full of loyal martyrs, they would rather lose their family for the revolution, but when they are seriously ill, they cannot eat half a bowl of fat with lean pork.

37 years ago, after the release of Xie Jin's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, "Garland Under the Mountain", it immediately caused a strong response across the country, and then made the whole society fall into deep thinking.
There is no doubt that this film has reached an unprecedented height in film and television works in terms of ideological depth, artistic height and intensity of historical criticism, and its direct soul-piercing ideology is still shining even after 37 years.
Coincidentally, before the filming of this film, director Xie Jin had written a letter of request for help to General Yang Dezhi, who commanded the counterattack against Vietnamese self-defense, hoping that the troops in the film would be participated in by real soldiers.
General Yang Dezhi, who was then the chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army, did not hesitate, and he immediately dispatched more than 10,000 polemic troops to participate in the whole filming, and said that he would see this rare theme film as soon as possible.
When the film was filmed, when General Yang Dezhi watched the sample film, he was immediately shocked by the "bloody arrears" of the company commander Liang Sanxi, and when he saw the scene where Liang Da niang insisted on paying off the debt for his son, the general left hot tears:
"There is no such a good soldier or such a good mass in the world!"
At this moment, when General Yang saw Lady Liang, he didn't know if he would think of his old landlord, Lady Yi Qiaoyun, nor did he know whether Secretary Zhou had reported to him that Lady Zhou wanted to eat half a bowl of fat with lean pork.
However, when the old general saw this scene, he must have remembered the masses in the old revolutionary areas, remembered the flesh and bones established by the masses in the blood and fire, and relied on each other for life and death, and remembered the great contributions made by the people in the old areas to the revolution.
In the original work, Liang Daniang's family also made great sacrifices for the revolution, and her husband and two sons left one after another. And now, her only son, Liang Sanxi, has fallen on the red land of the southern country.
But what about her life?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">04</h1>
In the old yimeng district of Shandong during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Liang Daxi, the eldest son of Liang Daniang, was the head of the village's children's regiment since he was 8 years old, and when he was 12 years old, he was caught by Japanese devils when he delivered information, he swallowed the note into his stomach and preferred to die, and finally was picked to death by a group of cruel devils with bayonets.
During the "Special Decade", Liang Daniang's husband saw the destroyed public property and attacked his heart, and then he was bedridden for many years, and his second son Liang Erxi was beaten to death to protect the persecuted cadres.
In order to treat his father's illness, Liang Sanxi's monthly salary of 60 yuan was really a drop in the bucket, so he had to borrow money from his comrades-in-arms to buy medicine for his father, and thanks to the care of his wife Han Yuxiu, who had no complaints or regrets, Liang Sanxi was able to work in the army with peace of mind.
The final result is that the family's money is spent, the money that can be borrowed is also borrowed, and the father eventually dies, leaving only three generations of grandchildren in the family, old and old, small and small.
If you watch "The Garland Under the Mountain" carefully, you will know why Liang Sanxi is wearing a military uniform with pudding, why the toothbrush he uses has only a few hairs, and why he smokes the worst cigarettes.
Because, he wanted to save every penny and mail it to his family, even so, he was full of guilt for his wife Han Yuxiu, "Since Han Yuxiu passed the door, he has never bought her a piece of flower cloth with a palm size..."
In the movie, in order to show the embarrassment of the life of Liang Daniang's family, three details were shown one by one, each of which was enough to make people cry.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">05</h1>
Since the Ninth Company of the Three Battalions was tasked with interspersing, the company was the company that had sacrificed the most in the regiment, and the first task of returning to the country was to appease relatives and evaluate meritorious awards.
In the end, the regiment agreed to present the honor of "combat hero" to Liang Sanxi and Lei Kaihua, to Zhao Mengsheng for first-class merit, and to the soldiers who sacrificed themselves for third-class merit, but only agreed to report to Jin Kailai for meritorious service, nor could it be a third-class merit.
Next, the pension distribution and pacification of the relatives of the martyrs who died has been carried out, and in the end, only Liang Sanxi and the relatives of "Little Beijing" have not come to the team.
Ten days later, Liang Daniang's family of three came, they were dusty servants, their faces were tired, and their pants were full of yellow mud.
Zhao Mengsheng asked eagerly, "Big Lady, there is a car not far from you getting off the train, and you can drive directly to the vicinity of the company by car. ”
The eldest lady replied calmly: The cropper walks a little, it is not a big deal.
"Big Lady, isn't the money paid for the postage given to you by the troops enough?" How many days have you walked this 160-mile road? ”
"Enough for the road! The cropper walking is not nothing, a total of four days to take a pass, if it is not on the road Yuxiu to feed the child delayed, it is estimated that it can be faster. ”
Zhao Mengsheng's heart was like a knife, he knew that the eldest lady was distressed about the travel expenses of those few dollars!
In order to save a few dollars, the eldest lady measured the distance of 160 miles with a pair of small feet. This family of three is the relatives of the martyrs, but they have to bear such a heavy suffering with their weak shoulders, how did they survive these four days and four nights!
When the eldest bride's family of three arrived, the cooking class quickly fried a few dishes and cooked noodles to serve.
For every soldier of the Ninth Company, their company commander Liang Sanxi was the most respectable hero, so they were full of enthusiasm and heartache for the relatives of the company commander.
The noodles were placed on the table, and everyone advised the eldest lady to eat quickly, "At this time, the eldest lady took the bag from the bed and slowly untied it, and there were still some black shards in it, and there were a few black radish heads, and the eldest lady grabbed the shards and put them in the bowl..."
The cooking squad leader grabbed the hand of the eldest lady: "Big niang, don't eat this pancake made of rotten sweet potatoes!" You see, it's all squeezed into crumbs. ”
"Take it on the road to eat, didn't finish eating." It doesn't hurt to eat, it hurts to be blind, you can still eat it with a bubble in the soup," the eldest lady said while holding the crumbs of the pancake into the bowl...
This second detail fully shows the economic constraints of Liang Daniang's family, which makes people have a kind of heart-wrenching pain, don't forget that they are the relatives of martyrs.
Now that I understand, it is no wonder that Secretary Zhou felt deep self-blame when he heard the words of Lady Yi Qiaoyun, and even felt guilty to the point of slapping himself.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">06</h1>
For the third detail, I believe that people who have watched the movie "Garland Under the Mountain" will never forget.
It was Liang Daniang who insisted on paying off her son's debts, and also sold the only pig in the family for 70 yuan, plus the 550 yuan pension given by Liang Sanxi after his sacrifice, which was just enough to make up for the 620 yuan on the bill.
Now, we know why the eldest lady eats pancakes made of rotten sweet potatoes, why she is reluctant to spend a few dollars in the car, because after she pays off her son's debt, she no longer has an extra penny.
However, the eldest bride is using the last tenacity of ordinary people to maintain her dignity, and she is firmly determined that "when the son is gone, the mother will bear the will to pay off the debt for her son, and must not add a little trouble to the country!" ”
Finally, let's end with the original words from the novel.
Ah, Yimengshan's mother! You not only nurtured the revolution with millet and milk, but also handed over your flesh and blood to the country and the nation one by one... Liang Sanxi is really the soul of our nation!
