On the last day of August 2011, in Beijing in early autumn, although the summer heat had gradually receded, there was still a hint of sultry heat in the air. On this special day, Marshal He Long's widow Xue Ming passed away peacefully in the hospital at the age of 96. As the last old man among the ten marshal wives to pass away, Xue Ming's death has attracted widespread attention and mourning.
Her funeral was very solemn, and many people came to pay their respects and express their deep respect and remembrance for her. On the day of the memorial service, the body of the old man Xue Ming lay among the flowers, looking particularly solemn. A bright red party flag covered by her body symbolizes her firm belief and selfless dedication.
At the farewell ceremony, Xue Ming's daughters He Xiaoming, He Liming, and daughter-in-law Feng Lu and others led the whole family to deeply miss in front of the mourning hall. With tears in their eyes, they recalled their mother's bits and pieces, and thanked her for her life's dedication and teachings.
Xue Ming was born in a poor family, and lost the protection of her father since she was a child, and her mother worked hard to raise her. During that turbulent era, Xue Ming showed extraordinary tenacity and perseverance, and joined the organization in 1936 as an underground traffic officer.
In 1938, Xue Ming came to Yan'an to study and contribute to the revolutionary cause. At that time, Xue Ming was in his youth, only in his early 20s, and Mr. He was in his 40s, and the age gap between the two did not stop the spark of love. Although Mr. He's previous love times ended in failure, his yearning for love has never been extinguished. Their acquaintance is actually an organizational matchmaking, but the premise is to fully respect Xue Ming's own wishes.
After a period of contact, Xue Ming found that Mr. He was always a man with affection and righteousness, and was attracted by his charm, and finally decided to spend his life hand in hand with him. After the two got married, Xue Ming gave birth to three children, two daughters and a son. Watching the children grow up day by day, the family's life is also full of hope and expectation.
However, in that special era, the lives of Xue Ming and Mr. He underwent earth-shaking changes. Mr. He is in prison and in a difficult situation, but Xue Ming has always been loyal to him, supporting the whole family with her tenacity and courage. Fortunately, history is fair, and after Mr. He's death, he finally got the respect and recognition he deserved.
In her later years, Xue Ming enjoyed her old age in the company of her family, but fate did not favor her. In 2001, her only son, He Pengfei, died of illness when he was only in his 50s. The loss of her son in her later years was a heavy blow to Xue Ming, and she suffered a great blow both physically and mentally. Ten years later, Xue Ming also passed away, ending her legendary life.
