In 1949, Liang Xingchu and his wife Ren Guilan married a precious photo, the general Liang in the picture was dressed in a gray tunic, the tall and straight figure showed an extraordinary military temperament, the new wife Ren Guilan was 17 years younger than him, she was young and beautiful, she was full of youthful atmosphere, and Liang Xingchu stood together, the two had very different temperaments but were very harmonious, like a pair made in heaven.
Liang Xingchu's wife is called Li Guifen, and the two after marriage respect each other like guests and believe in love, but they did not expect that Li Guifen died of tuberculosis in 1947, leaving him with indescribable pain. Fortunately, a year later, in the Montenegrin Blockade, General Liang met his lover who accompanied him for the rest of his life, Ren Guilan.
At that time, Liang Xingchu was the commander of the 10th Column of the Northeast Field Army, and Ren Guilan was a nurse in the health department of the column.
According to Ren Guilan's recollection, Liang Xingchu was injured in the battle at that time and needed to wash his eyes three times a day, and this task fell on Ren Guilan. In the process of changing dressings and bandaging, the two gradually developed a deep relationship. Liang Xingchu felt warm by Ren Guilan's careful care, and Ren Guilan was also attracted by Liang Xingchu's bravery and perseverance.
On a well-arranged occasion, Liang Xingchu finally expressed his feelings to Ren Guilan. He said solemnly: "Comrade Ren Guilan, I hope to establish a revolutionary friendship relationship with you. Ren Guilan did not hesitate, she knew that she had fallen in love with this heroic general.
Soon, with the personal approval of Du Ping, director of the Political Department of the Corps, Liang Xingchu and Ren Guilan finally tied the knot. Their wedding was simple and unpretentious, but full of revolutionary romance and passion. After marriage, the two respect each other like guests, share weal and woe, and have gone through ups and downs in life together, what is even more rare is that for the two daughters Huaihai and Binhai born to Liang Xingchu and Li Guifen, Ren Guilan has always regarded them as her own, even if she gave birth to two sons later, she has always taken care of the four children impartially, and the life of a family of six is very happy.
The relationship between Liang Xingchu and Ren Guilan is not only based on common beliefs and pursuits, but also has a deep emotional foundation. Ren Guilan once said: "What I fell in love with him was his gentle feelings hidden behind the iron bones." This sentence expresses her deep love and admiration for Liang Xingchu.
