In 1985, Zeng Zhi, accompanied by his son Shi Laifa and grandson Cai, traveled together to the precious picture of the Badaling Great Wall.
They are not only three generations of ancestors and grandchildren who are connected by blood, but also witnesses of a touching revolutionary history and simple family style.
Zeng Zhi in the photo, although he has entered his twilight years, is in good spirits, standing with his son Shi Laifa and grandson Cai succession, with a happy smile on his face. This special family trip was made by Shi Laifa and his son from Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, to visit his mother. Although the souvenirs they brought were not expensive, they were full of deep thoughts and gratitude for their mothers.
Zeng Zhi, a female Red Army soldier in the early days of our party, has experienced countless hardships and tribulations. Her love life is also full of twists and turns, the first two husbands Xia Mingzhen and Cai Xiemin have sacrificed their precious lives for the revolution, but she has never felt afraid, always adhered to the revolutionary faith, and silently dedicated herself to the cause of the party and the people. After marrying Tao Zhu, she integrated her personal emotions into the revolutionary family, showing the tenacity and responsibility of the female Red Army.
And Shi Laifa's life experience is full of legends. As the son of Zeng Zhi, his biological father is the revolutionary martyr Xia Mingzhen. Due to the severity of the revolutionary situation, Shi Laifa was entrusted by his mother to the deputy company commander of Shi Libao in the Jinggangshan base area when he was young. However, his adoptive parents died early, and poor Shi Laifa followed his grandmother to live with him since he was a child, and when he grew up, he faced the loess with his back to the sky and worked hard in the fields. It was only after the liberation that he got in touch with his mother.
For this son who grew up in the people, Zeng Zhi did not give special care. She believes that everyone has their own way to go, and it is also an honor for her son to be a farmer. This simple family style made Shi Laifa deeply feel his mother's teachings and expectations.
On the Badaling Great Wall, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren spent a pleasant day. They admired the majesty of the Great Wall and felt the weight of the history of the Chinese nation. At this moment, they are not only family members, but also inheritors of the revolutionary spirit.
This photo not only records the happy times of Zeng Zhi, Shi Laifa and Cai succession, but also shows their perseverance and selfless dedication. Their story allows us to see a real, flesh-and-blood Zeng Zhi, a great mother, and a selfless revolutionary.
