In the magnificent modern history of China, Peng Dehuai's figure is like a towering mountain, standing in the midst of countless beacon fires and gunsmoke. As one of the outstanding military leaders of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Peng Dehuai not only showed extraordinary military talent in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, but also made significant contributions to the construction of New China in peacetime. Peng Dehuai's private life is also full of drama and touching plots, especially the love story with his wife Osamu Urayasu, a deep love story that travels through the flames of war and time.
Peng Dehuai's early life was full of ups and downs. Born into a poor peasant family in Hunan Province, he experienced social injustice and the hardships of life since childhood. In his early years, Peng Dehuai showed dissatisfaction with power and the pursuit of the ideal of equality. In 1916, Peng Dehuai, who was only 18 years old, was engaged to Zhou Ruilian, and this childhood sweetheart relationship should have brought him stability in life, but tragedy happened at this time. After Zhou Ruilian was forcibly abducted by the landlord family, she chose to fight to the death, which deeply shocked Peng Dehuai and strengthened his determination to overthrow the old society and pursue a new life.
In 1925, another woman, Liu Kunmo, appeared in Peng Dehuai's life. Although their marriage was full of love at the beginning, as Peng Dehuai joined the revolution, the contact between the two gradually broke off. Liu Kunmo was forced to marry another wife after Peng Dehuai lost contact and gave birth to a child. In 1937, the two reunited with the help of the organization, and Peng Dehuai could only smile bitterly at Liu Kunmo's situation and say, "I can't blame me, nor can I blame her." Since then, Peng Dehuai has vowed not to marry again, but the arrangement of fate is always unexpected.
On a spring day in 1938, Peng Dehuai, at the instigation of Chen Geng, went to watch a women's basketball game, hoping to relieve the pressure of work for several days. In that game, a girl with short hair with ear-length ears was particularly eye-catching, she was the star of the court, and every goal made Peng Dehuai's eyes light up. Chen Geng jokingly pointed out Peng Dehuai's attention to this girl, although Peng Dehuai had a hard mouth, his heart was deeply attracted by the girl's resilience and vitality.
This girl is the later Urayasu Shu. Osamu Urayasu lost his mother at a young age and was raised by his two older sisters, honing his tenacious character in a harsh social environment. In 1937, Pu Yasu joined the Chinese Communist Party and performed well in the anti-Japanese salvation movement in Taihang Mountain. In 1938, she was sent to Yan'an, where she continued her educational and political activities. It is in this context that the fate of Peng Dehuai and Urayasu Xiu is intertwined.
Peng Dehuai's military career reached its peak during the Sino-Japanese War, and the troops he led were repeatedly successful, but this also meant that he had to be separated from Pu Anxiu for a long time. In May 1942, Peng Dehuai led his troops to fight fiercely in the Taihang Mountain area, and after the Battle of Wheat Field, the troops suffered heavy losses. Peng Dehuai's heart was like a knife, and he counted the list of teams, hoping to find the name of Urayasu Xiu, but unfortunately, she seemed to have died. The morale of the whole team fell into a trough, and Peng Dehuai's heart also sank to the bottom.
Just as the troops were about to withdraw from the wheat field, a thin figure appeared in front of Peng Dehuai, it was Pu Anxiu! Although she was frail, she still stood firmly in front of Peng Dehuai. Peng Dehuai was surprised and delighted, and at that moment, their eyes were full of deep longing and reluctance for each other. Peng Dehuai grabbed Pu Anxiu's hand tightly, and there were no superfluous words, only tacit understanding and gratitude from heart to heart. The brutality of the war did not give them much time to reunite, and soon after, the two had to separate again.
In the years that followed, Peng Dehuai experienced countless battles and political turmoil, but his love story with Urayasu Xiu has always been a tender hometown in his heart. Peng Dehuai once said to his comrades-in-arms in private: "Pu Anxiu is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted, she has given me a lot of love, but I always feel that I have reciprocated too little." ”
In 1974, Pu Anxiu died of illness, and Peng Dehuai faced his old age alone. Peng Dehuai knew that the death of Pu Anxiu was not only a great loss for him, but also a part of his emotional world that would disappear forever. In the last years of her life, although Peng Dehuai had been marginalized by the political turmoil, he still tried his best to care for and accompany Pu Anxiu, although this love came a little later, but it was deep and sincere.
The story of Peng Dehuai and Pu Anxiu is a deep affection through the war and years. Their love is not only the meeting of two hearts, but also a touch of warmth in that turbulent era. Through the story of Peng Dehuai and Pu Anxiu, we can not only feel the powerlessness of individuals in the torrent of history, but also see the best side of human nature, love and sacrifice. In their love, we see the interweaving of ideals and reality, and also witness the interweaving of history and personal destiny. Peng Dehuai and Pu Anxiu used their lives and love to write an eternal chapter
