Xiong Guobing, a son of Tongjiang in Sichuan, was born into a poor family in 1899. The trajectory of his life is full of family hardships, personal struggles, and the great history of the Chinese Revolution.
In his early years, due to his poor family, Xiong Guobing experienced many hardships. My father relied on farming and selling mountain goods to support the family. However, as life was difficult and his parents passed away one after another, Xiong was forced to drop out of school and began to work hard to survive. Without the support of his family, he was ostracized and bullied in the village, and even blackmailed by officials. In order to get out of his predicament, Xiong Guoping left his hometown and began his life in exile, living in Taiping Mountain, where his father-in-law lived.
During this period of exile, Xiong Guobing met an Anhui merchant named Liu Zicai. However, Liu Zicai was actually an underground worker of the party organization. Under his guidance, Xiong Guobing joined the party organization and began his underground work.
In 1933, the Red Fourth Front Army entered Sichuan, and Xiong Guobing actively participated in the construction of the base area and became the chairman of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Provincial Soviet Government. However, the road to revolution was fraught with challenges. During the transfer of the Red Army, his family suffered misfortune. Xiong Guobing held a key position in the Western Route Army, but was seriously wounded in the battle of the Hexi Corridor.
In the process of escaping, Xiong Guobing experienced a struggle on the edge of life and death. He struggled through the snow and ice, and finally escaped the fate of being captured. However, he chose to stay in exile rather than return to the Order. It could be his inner struggle and guilt about his past family. He settled down in Jiuquan and worked for a living, spending the night in the temple.
After the liberation, Xiong Guoping presented his experience to the government. However, due to the passage of time and the absence of testimony, the government could only give him a limited subsidy based on the criteria for having participated in the revolution. He spent decades in poverty, working hard to make ends meet. He has tried to return to the organization, but several attempts have been unsuccessful. Perhaps because of his guilt, or perhaps because he had a new family, he finally chose to stay in Gansu until the local liberation.
In 1960, Xiong Guoping died in poverty. At the end of his life, his heart was full of regrets. Why couldn't he bring home the comrades who were fighting with him? His guilt was everywhere. However, the local government could only give him a subsidy according to the criteria for participating in the revolution, including four stones of wheat and 50 yuan.
In fact, we can't blame the local government entirely. At that time, the country had just been established and finances were very tight. In addition, Xiong Guobing's experience is a bit jumpy, and there is a lack of evidence from others, so he can only be treated as a person who has participated in the revolution.
Xiong Guobing's life is a story of ordinary people intertwined with the times. His choice may not have changed the fate of the revolution, but it profoundly demonstrated the individual's choice and commitment in the historical situation. He gave up the opportunity to return to the organization and stayed in Jiuquan to become an ordinary worker. He may feel guilty in his heart, but he also feels at peace because of his new family.
During his exile, Xiong Kwok Ping showed courage and tenacity in the face of adversity. He fought in the snow and ice and persevered. Despite his injuries and the danger of being captured, he never gave up his persistent pursuit of life. His persistence and tenacity became a footnote in his life and left a deep trace in the long river of history.
Xiong Guobing's family fate and personal choices are closely linked to the history of the Chinese Revolution. The poverty of the family and his personal decisions had a profound impact in the context of a particular era. Everything he went through, whether it was the sacrifice of his family or his personal perseverance, reflected a microcosm of the social changes in China during the revolutionary period.
Xiong Guoping is an ordinary person, and his life may not have attracted widespread attention, but in the context of history, the choices he made show the extraordinary aspects of ordinary people in the course of history. He did not have heroic feats, but he showed extraordinary tenacity and wisdom in his individual decisions. This choice of ordinary people constitutes a small but important role in the history of the revolution.
Xiong Guobing's life is a collision between the individual and history, and he is either down the river or against the current in the torrent of history. Although his choice is insignificant to the entire course of history, it carries in his individual life a spirit of rebellion against fate. His experience represents a microcosm of the dialogue between the individual and history.
Epilogue:
Xiong Guobing's life is like a speck of dust in the long river of history, small and tenacious. His experience is not a heroic epic, but it shows the tenacity and persistence of human nature in ordinary choices. He was a non-negligible part of his time, and a small but important role in the history of the Chinese revolution. His story is like a distant star twinkling, outlining for us the tenacity and choice of an ordinary person in a turbulent historical period. It is a neglected voice under the great wheel of history, but it is the most real and simple existence.
