What does the love story of the triumphal era look like?
It was probably two men who came to the shore of the lake to ride a horse, and he whipped at the horse, and the horse was full of hooves and the wind was blowing forward.
She rose to chase, followed closely, and the two horses rode side by side.
They see this as "chasing happiness."
And the protagonists in this scene are not others, it is Zhang Aiping and Li Youlan.
On August 8, 1942, with the approval of Commander Chen Yi, Zhang Aiping and Li Youlan married each other.
When Zhang Aiping first received this news, she was full of joy and rode to meet her crush and tell her the good news.
After the two met, when the love was heavy, Zhang Aiping wrote a poem:
Cloaked in a rainbow across the light ride, the fast horse and then the whip, people about dusk, green water small river bay. Celestial Wheel Mirror, Willow Peak, Illuminated Dan. The battlefield is together, seeing each other and hating each other late, and sharing difficulties with each other.
Yes, in the war years, there are not only bloody battles and boiling heart battle stories in the army, but also gentle and elegant, with emotional love. And the love story of Li Youlan and Zhang Aiping is also tortuous and touching.
Zhang Aiping, Li Youlan
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="214" > the Li family has a female growth, does not love red makeup and loves to be armed</h1>
Li Youlan was born in a wealthy family in Beilun Xiaogang, Ningbo, where his father was Li Shanxiang, a famous patriotic industrialist in China.
In 1912, in order to develop the country's industrial economy, Li Shanxiang resolutely resigned from the position of county magistrate of Zhenhai County and took his wife and children to jinzhou to start a business:
He founded hengkang farms in western Liaoning, imported Siemens generators from abroad, and also opened businesses and oil mills; he first implemented the joint-stock management model in the northeast region, introduced machinery into agricultural production for the first time, and planted rice in saline-alkali land to achieve a bumper harvest; he also reclaimed many wastelands on the outskirts of Jinzhou, laid dozens of wells to plant apple trees, and cultivated apple brands such as Red Marshal and Guoguang.
While accumulating huge wealth, Li Shanxiang has not forgotten to give back to the country.
The Gengyu Middle School he founded included primary, secondary and university schools, so that children from poor families could also receive education. He himself often taught his children to be patriotic, to have the courage to step out of the luxurious and comfortable boudoir, and to be a patriotic young man.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army tried to win over Li Shanxiang, who was very famous and prestigious in the local area, but Li Shanxiang resolutely refused to do so. He not only returned to his hometown with his family, but also actively contributed to the anti-Japanese resistance in the rear, funded the construction of a hospital for the rescue of the wounded, and publicized the anti-Japanese resistance in the hospital.
When she was a child, Li Youlan often listened to her father talk about "Cai Yi opposed Yuan Shikai's claim to the title of emperor and the seventy-two martyrs of Granite", and under the influence of her father, she also planted the seeds of joining the army to save the country early in her heart.
Although they came from a rich family, Li Youlan and her sisters participated in the anti-Japanese rescue activities many times, actively publicized the anti-Japanese resistance, and walked into the front line of the anti-Japanese resistance after the anti-Japanese war broke out in full swing.
Lee Youlan
In 1938, Li Youlan came to Wuhan with ten pieces of ocean given by his father and other patriotic young people, hoping to enter Yan'an, the base of the Eighth Route Army, through the Wuhan area.
But at that time, Kuomintang agents in Wuhan were prevalent, and Li Youlan and his party were quickly targeted by these agents, but fortunately, Li Youlan reacted quickly, and she reacted quickly: pretending to leave Wuhan and throwing away the agents.
After that, they inquired in many ways, and after many trips, they learned that Zhou Enlai was in charge of the eighth route army office in Wuhan at this time, and they wanted money to visit.
Considering that Zhou Enlai was busy at work, Zhang Aiping, the office's duty staff officer, stepped in to block the driver. But no matter how he explained to Li Youlan and his party, the other party still wanted to see Zhou Enlai, and this state of affairs was deadlocked until late at night. In the middle of the night, Zhou Enlai had just finished dealing with the matter at hand, and he received them in a busy time.
Zhou Enlai considered that the Japanese had occupied most of China at that time, and the way to Yan'an was almost blocked, so it was difficult to go to Yan'an. After serious consideration, Zhou Enlai decided to let them go to the New Fourth Army office in the Nanchang area first, and the first meeting between Li Youlan and Zhang Aiping ended in a hurry.
When he arrived in Nanchang, Li Youlan took off his cheongsam, put on his military uniform, and was active in the field service corps, gradually transforming from a rich family into a heroic female warrior.
Here, Li Youlan was beautiful in appearance and received a good education from an early age, and she was also called "a flower in the army". After that, Li Youlan participated in the shorthand training class held by the army, whether it was writing or writing, she did a particularly outstanding job, thus becoming a recognized "female talent" by everyone.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="213" > meet the wrongdoers on the military road and enter the military camp to become "wrongdoers"</h1>
In 1942, the Central China Bureau held an enlarged meeting of the party committee in Funing, northern Jiangsu Province, and Li Youlan was organized to be responsible for recording the contents of the meeting.
At the meeting, Liu Shaoqi proposed that Comrade Zhang Aiping, deputy commander of the Third Division of the New Fourth Army and former commander of the Ninth Brigade, go to the stage to talk about how the troops he led opened up the anti-Japanese base area in northeast Anhui under the enemy's minions.
Because the proposal was sudden, Zhang Aiping did not have time to prepare the draft, but he did not panic at all, and began to improvise.
He used vivid and simple language to retrace the situation at that time, realistic and fascinating.
Li Youlan was recording next to him, and he sighed greatly in his heart.
At this time, she did not know that Zhang Aiping was not only able to fight a good battle, but also brilliant, and was a well-known "horseback poet", who often used poetry to boost the morale of the warriors. She didn't recognize the person in front of her, the staff officer on duty who prevented them from seeing Zhou Enlai 4 years ago.
On the same day, Li Youlan sorted out the text of the speech overnight and sent it to Zhang Aiping early the next morning.
After Zhang Aiping saw this finished speech, her eyes lit up instantly, this manuscript is really neatly written, the font is beautiful, and the summary and collation are clear and logical.
He couldn't help but take a serious look at the lesbian who had come to deliver the letter. Only to see that this female comrade was tall, beautiful, and her eyes were big and bright, which left a deep impression on Zhang Aiping, and gradually planted a seed of "moving heart" in her heart.
After many "side knocks" inquiries, he finally learned the name of the female warrior: Li Youlan.
The winter in northern Jiangsu is different from the general north, the humid cold wind can penetrate the coat and pierce into the bone marrow, and Li Youlan, as a stenographer, often has to operate the pen pole, and gloves have become a necessity for her life at this time.
This winter, before Li Youlan started working, he suddenly found that the gloves were missing, and he had not found them for a long time, and when he was at a loss, there was a knock at the door. When she opened the door, she found Zhang Aiping standing outside the door, and he was holding the red gloves she had thrown away.
It turned out that the two of them had attended a meeting together before, and after the meeting, the gloves were dropped.
Li Youlan saw that his gloves had been picked up, and he quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you chief." ”
Zhang Aiping smiled and said, "Don't always call me by the chief, you make me ask for something and can't talk about it." ”
It turned out that Zhang Aiping had li youlan at the contact center, so she used the excuse of "finding" to "approach".
"I remember your shorthand writing was very good and wanted to learn from you." Zhang Aiping said.
Li Youlan nodded in agreement, and with this reason, Zhang Aiping haunted Li Youlan more frequently, and they often talked about literature and poetry together. The more they communicated, the two of them found that they had more and more in common with each other, and there was actually a "one-sided relationship" before, which was really "a narrow road for wrongdoers".
Li Youlan admired Zhang Aiping's frankness and sincerity, Wen Tao's martial strategy, and gradually knew his intentions.
Li Youlan, Zhang Aiping
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month of meetings are over, and they will return to their respective teams, not knowing when they will meet again.
Zhang Aiping gave Li Youlan a sheathed dagger for self-defense and a delicate little ring; Li Youlan returned him with a hand-copied copy of the meeting report "Strategy and Strategy" and a black record clip for packaging.
Fortunately, their unit was only fifteen kilometers long, so whenever she had time, Zhang Aiping often came to see Li Youlan on horseback, and the two of them raced horses together by the small river. Zhang Aiping also carried a camera she had captured from the enemy with her, took pictures of Li Youlan, and recorded the beautiful moments again and again.
Once, as usual, the two of them got off their horses and walked by the small river, and Li Youlan squatted down and washed his hands with the splash.
That beautiful posture, peach blossom-like face, green water, blue sky and white clouds background, like a fairyland on earth, Zhang Aiping couldn't help but raise the camera in her hand, wanting to take this dream-like picture.
Suddenly, he had a clever move and asked her to gently stir the surface of the water with her hand, recording a beautiful moment.
With a "click", her beauty and smile melted into the layers of blue waves, leaving a permanent memory.
After taking the photo, Li Youlan stood up and walked over and asked, "Why should I stir the water?" ”
Zhang Aiping said affectionately: "Under my lens, I want to have no one, no one has me, of course, there is a deeper meaning, no matter how big the wind and waves can not shake our feelings." ”
That night, they washed out the photos.
Looking at the photo, Zhang Aiping suddenly surged with inspiration and composed a poem:
The spring sun is bright, the feeling is surging, the warm breeze is clear, the mattress is fragrant, the ripples of the water are gently rippling, and the people in the mirror are people. The babbling stream is pure, the green mountains and green waters are affectionate, and the unforgettable and mysterious realm is frozen.
It's all in plain sight.
In the summer of 1942, a torrential rain washed down the house where Li Youlan lived, and when she was still worried about her "residence", she suddenly saw Zhang Aiping riding a jujube red horse galloping, he could not care about the military uniform that had been soaked by the rain, and nervously came to Li Youlan to comfort him, which could not help but make Li Youlan feel warm.
Rainy days are the most suitable for confession, in that era of nature is no exception, Zhang Aiping finally said the words that have been cherished for a long time: "Youlan, marry me?" ”
At this time, Li Youlan was suddenly silent.
It turned out that in 1941, she had a marriage with Xiang Ying, the deputy commander of the New Fourth Army, for a short time. Soon after Li Youlan and Xiang Ying were newly married, the Anhui Incident broke out, and Li Youlan was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang, and then rescued by his father, while Xiang Ying has been leading the team to fight. However, not long after, Xiang Ying's aide-de-camp Liu Houzong rebelled against the revolution and blackmailed Xiang Ying, and by the time the guards arrived, Xiang Ying and Zhou Zikun had already died, and at this time Li Youlan and Xiang Ying were only newly married for a few months.
Xiang Ying
It was precisely because of this that Li Youlan was silent in front of Zhang Aiping.
In order to ease the atmosphere, but also out of her own attention to this relationship, she eased up and said: "I want to marry you will not be now, this matter must apply for the signature of Commander Chen Yi." ”
Not long after, Zhang Aiping came riding a high-headed horse again, and his hand was holding Chen Yi's signature.
On August 8, 1942, under the mediation of Commander Chen Yi and Zhang Qian, Zhang Aiping and Li Youlan held a simple wedding in a thatched hut, and since then they have been married as a revolutionary couple, and Commander Chen Yi also gave them a Parker pen as a wedding gift.
This day was their happy day, Zhang Aiping was inspired by the sudden surge, and wrote the poem "Appeal to Heartfelt Feelings and Good Period":
Cloaked in a rainbow across the light saddle, the fast horse and then the whip, people about dusk, green water small river bay. Celestial Wheel Mirror, Willow Peak, Illuminated Dan. The battlefield is together, we see each other and hate each other late, and we share the same difficulties.
Li Youlan carved a "Ping" character on the Parker pen and hung it in Zhang Aiping's pocket, indicating that she had always been by his side.
This year, Zhang Aiping was 32 years old and Li Youlan was 23 years old.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="212" survived > hardships and obstacles</h1>
Soon after the marriage of the two, the Japanese army carried out a major sweep of Zhang Aiping's military region, and Zhang Aiping, as the leader, was fully responsible for the "anti-sweeping." Since the Japanese puppet army mobilized nearly 20,000 people, and the superiors demanded that the non-combatants should be transferred as much as possible, Li Youlan was already pregnant at this time, and naturally he was also included in the list of "transfer personnel".
Li Youlan first ran to a warehouse on the coastal edge to take shelter, which was close to the sea, and there were many supplies that could be transferred from the sea at any time, but the enemy suddenly sent more than a dozen planes to bomb, and the warehouse was also affected and bombed into ruins.
Then she searched for three days, and finally found the troops of the New Fourth Army, but the troops had a mission and could not escort her home.
In order not to drag down the troops, Li Youlan decided to return to his hometown in Ningbo alone.
On the way, we had to pass through the Shanghai area occupied by the Japanese army. Shanghai here is more strictly blockaded, there are people everywhere to check, whistles and sentries are particularly numerous, and also issued a "good citizen certificate", no one with a certificate can not move, even the guide who led Li Youlan the way suddenly disappeared, leaving her alone in the streets. Fortunately, with the relief of Li Shanxiang's friend, Li Youlan bought a "good citizen certificate", and Cai was able to return safely to Xiaogang by boat.
Under the care of his mother, Li Youlan gave birth to his eldest son Zhang Xiang, and when the child was slightly older, Li Youlan was very worried about Zhang Aiping and wanted to return to the army, but this road was full of difficulties and many enemies, so Li Youlan had to leave the child by his parents to take care of him, and returned to the anti-Japanese front alone.
And the encounter along the way almost made the two people eternally separated.
By the time Li Youlan reached the headquarters of the three or five detachments, the troops had all withdrawn, and just in time for the Japanese attack, the boatman saw that the Japanese on the shore were frightened, and turned around and wanted to run. At this time, Lequn, who was escorting Li Youlan, immediately made a decision and dissuaded the boatman: "Don't panic, the captain of the ship, continue to drive forward, otherwise the enemy will shoot us and we will all die." ”
The boatman calmed down and pretended to paddle calmly in front of the Japanese army, and sure enough, the Japanese army only let them go as if it was a small agricultural boat.
On the shore, Li Youlan and Le Qun walked toward another camp of the troops, they crossed a mountain, met several plainclothes members of the New Fourth Army, one of whom was Li Youlan's younger brother, and under their arrangement, they boarded a wooden sailing boat and advanced towards the northern Jiangsu region.
Although the distance on this road is not too far, it does not have the speed of Li Baishi's "a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day", but it is extremely slow. The wooden sailing ship encountered a hurricane on the way, and the mast of the ship was blown off, and it had to rely on human rowing to move forward with difficulty.
Time passed day by day, the food and fresh water left on the ship were getting less and less, and it was summer at that time, with the scorching sun overhead, and the remaining grain on the ship did not dare to eat more, and it was necessary to leave the boat boss to eat enough to have the strength to row.
In this way, after six months, I finally reached my destination.
Li Youlan finally saw her husband who had been separated for a long time again, and when Zhang Aiping saw Li Youlan's haggard and withered look, she lost the spirit of the past, even if she was an iron-blooded man, she couldn't help but shed tears, and the husband and wife hugged each other tightly to find the warmth that belonged to them.
Back at her husband's side, Li Youlan took on the responsibility of taking care of Zhang Aiping. Once, when she was washing Clothes for Zhang Aiping, she found a small book, which read: If a friend picks up this small book, please comrade my beloved wife Li Youlan, address: Ningbo Xiaogang Daqitou Li Shanxiang's home; inform my father Zhang Tiyuan, address: Zhangjiakou Village, Luojiangkou Town, Daxian County, Sichuan.
Zhang Aiping had long been prepared for the revolution, and the meaning of this book was to hope that someone would be able to inform her relatives and tell them that she was loyal to the country.
Seeing this, Li Youlan also made up his mind to use his life to protect his life.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek openly tore up the contract and launched a civil war, and Zhang Aiping served as the commander of the Central China Military Region and continued to participate in the battle.
Once, on the eve of the battle to break the stubborn enemy on the Jinpu Railway, Zhang Aiping suffered a serious head injury, and the organization arranged for him to go to the northeast for treatment, and Li Youlan was responsible for escorting him.
From northern Jiangsu to Dalian can be described as a thousand miles, Li Youlan embarked on a thousand-mile journey for her husband, all the way to the town occupied by the Kuomintang, surrounded by bandits on the top of the mountain, full of dangers. What's harder is that they have a young son who is not yet one year old.
Li Youlan held the child along the way, guarding Zhang Aiping's stretcher day and night, lying on the bench for a while when she was sleepy, in order not to let the child stumble, she tied her son's foot on the bench with a bandage. This scene made Zhang Aiping both distressed and guilty.
In the end, after all kinds of difficulties and dangers, Zhang Aiping was finally sent to the rear hospital safely.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="180" > we survived a difficult time and we reached the twilight years</h1>
In 1949, when New China was about to be founded, Zhang Aiping was responsible for the preparation of the people's navy, he recruited talents and talents, founded a very good navy, and personally participated in the combat command, recovered many islands in the southeast sea region, and made great contributions to the construction of the motherland.
In 1974, Zhang Aiping wrote "Yong Si Ji Lan" for Li Youlan to express her affection for Li Youlan: idle in the valley, praying for the earthly world. The sword leaf is pure and the ice muscle jade heart melts. The fragrance is full of fragrance, and the elegant style is graceful. Although it is a cold frost and snow night, the fragrance is better than spring.
The strong and beautiful Four Seasons Orchid is The Li Youlan in Zhang Aiping's heart.
Li Youlan in his later years
After that, Zhang Aiping served as the director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, leading the research and development and manufacture of china's national defense cutting-edge weapons. Li Youlan was responsible for assisting in the work at his side, and she once again followed her husband to the northwest desert to support her husband's great cause.
In that windy and sandy desert, they participated in the test of China's first intercontinental missile, the first underwater solid submarine-launched missile, and the first synchronous satellite, and together they created one brilliant glory after another.
Zhang Aiping is known as a poet on horseback, and in his spare time, Li Youlan sorted out the poems, manuscripts, and photographs taken by Zhang Aiping, some of which were collected under the tiles of the roof in those years, and it was precisely because of Li Youlan's collection and sorting that there were later works such as "Chronicle", "Song of Excalibur", "Beacon Behind enemy lines in Jianghuai" and other works.
From 1938, when the two wrongdoers met, to 1942, when the two joined hands with each other, Zhang Aiping and Li Youlan never let go of each other's hands after they were together, they experienced ups and downs together, experienced hardships and obstacles, and what they brought to each other was always a smile on their faces.
Every year on August 8 is their wedding anniversary, and whenever it comes to this day, they will always snuggle up with each other, reminisce about the ups and downs they have experienced together over the years, reminisce about the wind and snow together, and write about the wind and snow together.
Zhang Aiping's old age photo
In 2003, Zhang Aiping died of illness at the age of 93.
Incredibly, 9 years later, Li Youlan also died at the age of 93.
Inside the Eight Treasure Mountain, the moon hangs high and sleepless nights. The story of love continues.
