Perhaps only older compatriots who like to read history or are a little older will know something about "Agent 4821".
This is a relatively special group, all of them are high-level talents, and have made no small contribution to the development of the country.
In 1948, the situation in the country developed rapidly, and in order to cultivate talents, he communicated with the Soviet Union and sent a group of people to study.
After layers of screening, finally selected some patriotic and reliable, outstanding ability, diligent and studious young people, and placed high hopes on the hope of learning and returning to serve the motherland, this plan is referred to as "4821".
These people are all high-ranking children of our motherland, and everyone's experience is bitter and hardworking, and they are taking a more tortuous and difficult life path than ordinary people.
Although the process was a bit difficult and unsatisfactory, after many years, each of them learned and made immortal contributions in their own fields.
Only Gao Yi is an exception, just an ordinary technician, until his later years, he was able to live the ordinary life of his dreams, what makes ordinary life a luxury?
Gao Yi
Sympathetic high-ranking children
It was a night when five fingers could not be seen, and the war was about to break out. With the persistent efforts of Gao Gang and Yang Zhifang, she finally became pregnant in October and gave birth to the eldest in the family, Gao Yi, in 1930.
It was during the war years, and shortly after giving birth to Gao Yi, his father Gao Gang threw himself into the arms of the communist ranks.
After Gao Gang left, he left Yang Zhifang and Gao Yi to survive alone, but Gao Yi was still very young, and Yang Zhifang had to pull the children and take care of the family, and it was really a bit difficult to support alone.
Later, after the recommendation and introduction of a friend, he began to work as a servant in the rich man's house, and the economic situation improved a little.
But the good times did not last long, the young and beautiful Yang Zhifang still did not escape the eyes of the rich man, staring at Yang Zhifang's gaze every day as if he could eat people.
Yang Zhifang
Yang Zhifang also knew that this was not a way, danger could happen at any time, and took advantage of the gap between the rich man's departure one day, rolled up the cover and fled with Gao Yi overnight.
After the rich man knew that Yang Zhifang had stolen away, he became furious and ordered to capture the mother and son regardless of everything.
At this time, Gao Gang, who was far away, did not know that his wife and children were experiencing life and death disasters.
Yang Zhifang took Gao Yi along the way and did not dare to breathe, hiding everywhere, and when he was hungry and thirsty, he picked up and ate from the ground.
After hiding for a while, Gao Gang finally got the news and hurriedly sent someone to look for the mother and son.
The hard work paid off, and within a few days, he found the dirty mother and son, and then received the Wayao Fort to live with him.
After Yang Zhifang and Gao Yi lived in Wayaobao, they also joined the party organization, and Gao Yi was arranged by Gao Gang to study in Yan'an Primary School.
Yang Zhifang's ideological consciousness was very high and very intelligent, and not long after joining the factory, she was appointed as the director of the garment factory, responsible for all the affairs of the factory, large and small, and provided great help to the front-line troops in logistics.
Due to Yang Zhifang's hard work and serious work, she can receive some awards from time to time.
It was at this time, with the continuous emergence of new ideas and new cultures, that the contradiction between Yang Zhifang and Gao Gang, who began to advocate the "freedom of marriage" among the masses, finally broke out.
Yang Zhifang and Gao Gang belong to an arranged marriage, the two sides have no feelings, plus the three views and all aspects of the concept are not consistent, small contradictions continue, and finally the two personally also choose to divorce and get along with friends.
Yang Zhifang and Gao Gang's divorce did not have much impact on Gao Yi, who was in elementary school, and Gao Gang and Yang Zhifang still loved Gao Yi as always.
With the continuous expansion of the war, the construction of the country is also in urgent need of talents, in order to cultivate the next generation of outstanding talents.
In 1939, he tried to send a group of leading children to the Soviet Union to learn knowledge, and Gao Yi, who was still in elementary school at the age of 9, also took this rare opportunity to go abroad for the first time.
In the Soviet Union, Gao Yi and a group of others were arranged to study at an international college in Moscow. At that time, the Soviet Union was also unstable, and the conditions of school education were very difficult.
The food brought by Gao Yi and his party was quickly exhausted, and in order to solve the problem of food and clothing, the group also racked their brains and tried their best.
In the end, he decided to fend for himself, starting with a hammer, eating and drinking, and then reclaiming wasteland near the school to grow food and vegetables.
As for the clothes dress, it is even less fancy, food and clothing are a problem, the requirements for clothes can cover the body, so at that time the group of people could not make up a complete piece of clothing.
Although planting is an effective means, after all, the process is too long, and the harvest is easily affected by the weather, and there is no way to solve the problem quickly and directly.
Therefore, all of them are skinny, and the appearance of weak wind makes people wonder that a gust of wind can blow them away.
After learning about the situation of Soviet children, the leaders also quickly subsidized some of the funds, and the situation improved.
In this way, 8 years passed, with the victory of some wars, a large area of the country was liberated, and Gao Yi and other groups of children slowly returned to the embrace of the motherland.
After returning to China, Gao Yi was 17 years old, and Gao Yi always had a dream in his heart, that is, to contribute his strength to the national defense cause of the motherland. Then I came to the preparatory class of Northeast Harbin Institute of Technology for further study, hoping to realize my ideal one day.
Life has repeatedly hit a wall
But Gao Yi miscalculated, and after living in the Soviet Union for 8 years, he found that no matter what he did after returning to China, he was different from the people around him.
The regression of language made it impossible for him to communicate normally with his classmates and understand the living habits of the people around him.
Soon became famous in school and became an outlier in everyone's eyes, which made Gao Yi, who cherished the dream of building a career motherland, very miserable and depressed every day.
Not long after 1948, the situation in the country developed rapidly, and in order to cultivate talents, a group of people were sent to the Soviet Union to study civil engineering.
After layers of screening, finally selected some patriotic and reliable, relatively outstanding ability, diligent and studious young people to go to the Soviet Union to learn technical knowledge, and placed high hopes on the hope of learning and returning to serve the motherland, this plan is referred to as "4821".
Gao Yi was naturally part of the plan, and then went to the Soviet Union again with 20 other students to study.
However, Gao Yi lost interest in this major within a few days of enrollment, but he was extremely interested in mechanics, so he proposed a request to change mechanical majors, and not surprisingly, this request was decisively rejected by the school.
Learning a major that he is not interested in, Gao Yi is more and more uncomfortable the more he learns, and he doesn't want to stay for a day.
Then, under the arrangement of his father Gao Gang, he returned to China and went to Harbin Institute of Technology to study mechanics.
By chance, Gao Yi met the destined her, Song Lida, in the academy.
Song Lida's family is more special, her hometown is from Shandong, and she followed her father here in the early years.
Then his father joined the Soviet army, and during the army, he met Song Lida's mother, who was Soviet.
Therefore, Song Lida, who was born in the Soviet Union, received a Soviet education since she was a child, and her living habits are also Soviet living habits.
After the liberation of Northeast China, he returned to his hometown with his father, who was arranged to work in the local public security, and Song Lida was arranged to study at Harbin Institute of Technology.
Gao Yi and Song Lida have many similar experiences, and the two get along and chat more closely, and soon the two fell in love.
However, the good times did not last long, and the sweet campus life of the two soon terminated their studies because of the influence of Gao Yi's father Gao Gang.
The two of them went to work together in Harbin 120 factory, because of the difference in habits, Gao Yi likes to go straight and go straight, and also likes to joke and play with colleagues.
So he was buttoned up as a liberal, and then the two entered the palace of marriage not long after they worked.
At this time, Gao Gang's ex-wife Yang Zhifang did not suffer much because she divorced Gao Gang early.
He was also appointed president of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Branch of the wartime childcare association and came to Harbin to work.
There is a movie "Cradle on Horseback" that depicts Yang Zhifang's nursery at that time.
Because the winter environment in Harbin was too harsh, Yang Zhifang's body could not bear it at all, and then applied to the organization to be transferred back to Shaanxi.
Seeing his mother Yang Zhifang's health getting worse and worse day by day, Gao Yi decided to move to Xi'an with his wife Song Lida in order to take care of his mother.
Then the two found a factory job in Xi'an, where Gao Yi engaged in mechanical craftsmanship and Song Lida was in charge of design.
Not long after working, he encountered the changes of the times, and some incidents of Gao Yi's father Gao Gang also greatly implicated Gao Yi's family.
Immediately after that, the two were sent to the Xianyang Textile Factory for isolation and review, and "4812" was crowned with the top hat of a Soviet agent, and a series of names such as his father were imposed on Gao Yi's head.
There is warmth in the world, and some employees of the factory did not treat them coldly because of these things, but encouraged them and let them persevere, which also gave the devastated Gao Yi and Song Lida the motivation to live.
Gao Yi did not admit it, and then the examiner turned the target to Song Lida.
Wanting to force her to comply, Song Lida was also anxious, and immediately asked to return to the Soviet Union when she stopped working.
Song Lida's mother was in the Soviet Union, and the work was arranged for Song Lida at the moment.
But the above message can only go alone by Song Lida, Gao Yi is a high-ranking cadre, and he can't go anywhere.
Song Lida was relieved, and Gao Yi was reluctant to leave, so he didn't leave.
Until 1979, in order to take care of his elderly mother Yang Zhifang, Gao Yi was transferred back to Beijing after the instructions of the central government.
Then worked as a senior engineer at the Municipal Party Committee's Electrical Processing Research Institute for a period of time and proposed to leave, and he and his wife Song Lida lived the dull life he dreamed of.
A life of contentment and gratitude
Old age life is the beginning of Gao Yi's happy life in this life.
Gao Yi rarely goes out, especially likes to watch TV, often forgets everything when it looks, and his wife also nags him from time to time to let him go out and exercise.
Gao Yi is especially grateful to his wife for so many years of companionship, so every time he hears his wife complain and complain, he always looks at her with a smile, and his eyes are full of affectionate love.
According to his wife Song Lida, Gao Yi's Chinese level has been greatly improved, but he is not good at dealing with people, because both of them grew up in the Soviet Union, although they have lived most of their lives in China, but they are still accustomed to communicating in Russian when they arrive home. Speaking of Gao Yi, the happiest and happiest time in his life is every "4812" class reunion.
Despite the huge difference in identity with their classmates, their friendship has always been the same, happy and simple.
epilogue
Gao Yi's life is like driving a train, from full of ideals to unwilling, through various ups and downs.
Fortunately, his wife and warm colleagues and friends supported him through this dark time, so that he could always live a grateful and contented life.
