The Huai River flood was a natural disaster, but it triggered a feat that touched the world. In the summer of 1950, the Huai River area was hit by a catastrophic flood that caused great damage to the area. Chairman Mao was deeply aware of the suffering of the victims, so he issued a call to repair the flooding of the Huai River. This incident is not only about the restoration of natural disasters, but also the story of people's strong will and unity.
In this story, there is a woman's perseverance and fearlessness. Li Xiuying, a woman from a poor background, was born in an ordinary family in 1927. She was passed on by her father to her uncle and became surnamed Li. Her early life was not rich, but poverty tempered her strength.
In this story, there is also a romantic marriage. Li Xiuying and Feng Xueyong met, and the two fell in love, and finally entered the marriage hall. They run the shop together and create a happy married life. However, this happy time did not last long, because Feng Xueyong was caught when he went out to harvest wheat, leaving him separated from Li Xiuying.
Feng Xueyong, who joined the People's Liberation Army after being captured, served the country on the front line. In the army, Feng Xueyong performed well and made many military achievements. At the same time, Li Xiuying participated in the management of the Huai River. In 1952, Chairman Mao called for the restoration of the Huai River, and Li Xiuying organized women to participate in and created the "Women's Militia Commando", which played an important role in the great cause of rebuilding the Huai River.
Li Xiuying showed tenacious perseverance in the management of the Huai River, and she was not afraid of difficulties, and together with her male comrades, she did her best to devote herself to the project. She ignored her physical condition until she fainted on the construction site due to overwork.
It is worth remembering that in 1952, when the documentary "We Must Repair the Huai River" was released, Feng Xueyong found that his wife Li Xiuying flashed in the movie when he watched it in the army. This made Feng Xueyong determined to reunite with his wife.
Eventually, Li Xiuying received a letter from her husband and embarked on a journey to Fujian. The two finally reunited, ending a years-long parting and becoming a warm ending to this story.
This story is full of emotion and tenacity, and it is the brilliance of humanity that is revealed in the midst of disasters and difficulties.
