I was twenty years old at the time, in the prime of my youth, and in 1938 I enlisted in the army and was assigned to the military department as a clerk. That day, I was sorting out documents in the office when suddenly the chief's sister Xiaomei walked in. She was wearing a light blue cheongsam, her hair neatly combed, and she was smiling. I knew as soon as I saw that it was the most memorable moment of my life.
"Hello, my name is Xiaomei, my brother is the head of this place, he said that I can often come to you to play in the future. She generously stretched out her hand, and I was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook hands with her.
From that day on, we became friends who talked about everything. Xiaomei is smart, kind and cute, and I find myself liking her more and more. However, I knew that I was only a small clerk, and that she was the chief's sister, and that the distance between us was like an insurmountable chasm.
One day, the troops received an urgent task to send a unit to carry out a mission behind enemy lines. The chief approached me and asked me to join the operation. I hesitated, thought of Xiaomei, and finally agreed.
Before leaving, I went to say goodbye to Xiaomei. With tears in her eyes, she held my hand tightly: "You have to take care, you must come back safely." ”
I nodded confidently: "Don't worry, for you, I will definitely come back alive." ”
In the course of our mission, we were besieged by the enemy. In order to cover the retreat of my comrades, I was unfortunately wounded. Just as I was unconscious, a familiar voice sounded in my ears: "Hold on, I will definitely get you out!"
When I woke up, I found that Xiaomei was by my side. It turned out that she learned that I was trapped and resolutely joined the rescue team. With her help, we managed to get out of danger.
Back in the army, I said to Xiaomei, "Why are you risking to save me?"
She replied with a smile: "Because I like you, I want to accompany you through this difficult time." ”
I was moved to tears and hugged her tightly: "Xiaomei, I like you too, but the gap between us is too big." ”
Xiaomei said firmly: "As long as we love each other, nothing can stop us." We will go through this time together until we grow old together. ”
Since then, we have been in open contact. Although we have received some criticism, we firmly believe that love can overcome everything. Soon after, the war ended, and we entered the palace of marriage hand in hand.
Time flies, and now we have gray hair. Looking back, those hardships and obstacles have become the most precious memories. Thank you fate for letting us meet and let us go through this ups and downs of life together.
To this day, I still remember that day, when I enlisted in the army in 1938 and worked as a clerk in the military department, and I fell in love with the chief's sister at first sight. And our love, like that war, has gone through the test of life and death and has become an eternal legend.
The days passed calmly like flowing water, and our little family grew tenaciously in the ruins of the war. Xiaomei's laughter has become the sunshine of this home, and my days are full of color because of her. However, fate does not seem to want us to be at peace.
That day, when I came home from work, I saw Xiaomei sitting in a chair with a serious expression on her face, and she was holding a letter in her hand, which was from my hometown. My heart sank, and my intuition told me that the letter contained unusual news.
"Your father is seriously ill and I hope you can go back. Xiaomei's voice was low and calm.
I was stunned, my mind blank. I looked at the letter as if it could swallow me up. I should go back, but here is Xiaomei, there is my home.
"I have to go back. I said it with difficulty.
Xiaomei came over and shook my hand: "I understand, this is your responsibility. I'll wait for you, no matter how long. ”
I looked at her, and a warm current welled up in my heart. This woman always gives me the greatest support.
Back in his hometown, his father was bedridden. I accompanied him through the last days of his life. During that time, I would dream of Xiaomei every night and her warm smile, which became my greatest comfort.
After dealing with my father's funeral, I hurried back. The moment I opened the door, I saw Xiaomei sitting in front of the window, the moonlight shining on her face, looking so peaceful.
"I'm back. I whispered.
She turned her head with tears in her eyes, and then ran over and hugged me tightly: "You're finally back, I'm so afraid you won't come back." ”
I gently patted her on the back: "Fool, why don't I come back? ”
Our lives have returned to peace, but I know that under this calm, the tide of the times is still turbulent. Soon after, the situation in the country changed dramatically, and our city was in turmoil.
One night, a mob burst into our home, and they wanted to trouble me. Xiaomei stood in front of me and looked at them firmly: "What you are looking for is my husband, who has the ability to rush at me." ”
I grabbed Xiaomei, both moved and angry in my heart: "Xiaomei, don't be impulsive, I will protect you." ”
In the chaos, we were forced to separate. I was taken away, and Mei was left at home. In those dark days, the only belief I held up was that I must return to Xiaomei.
Finally, on a stormy night, I escaped. As I stood in front of the house covered in wounds, Mei rushed out, rain mixed with tears, her face full of worry and joy.
"You're finally back. She hugged me tightly, as if she was afraid that I would disappear again.
"I'm back, Mei. I whispered, "From now on, no matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, we will all walk together." ”
The days flow slowly in our perseverance, and despite the ups and downs of the outside world, our small home has become a haven to hide from the wind and rain. Xiaomei's courage and determination have become my greatest support, and I know that as long as we are with each other, nothing is impossible.
But as time passed, the turbulent times hit our lives again. That day, I was repairing a leaky roof at home when I suddenly heard a cacophony outside. I hurried down and saw Xiaomei standing nervously at the door, holding a kitchen knife in her hand.
"There were strangers out there who looked ill-intentioned. There was an imperceptible tremor in her voice.
I gently took the kitchen knife in her hand, put it aside, and then put my arm around her shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
I walked out of the house and saw a group of people in unfamiliar uniforms knocking on doors. Their eyes were fierce, and the weapons in their hands gleamed in the sun. I know that this time, we may not be able to dodge it easily.
When they saw me, the leader asked coldly, "Are you the owner of this house?"
I nodded, trying to keep my composure.
"You must get out of here. There was no trace of warmth in his voice.
I was stunned, then said firmly, "This is our home, why should we leave?"
His eyes widened, as if surprised by my resistance: "This is an order, don't blame us for not leaving." ”
I knew that at this moment, I had to make a choice. I glanced back at Xiaomei, her eyes full of worry, but also full of trust.
"We can go, but please give us some time to pack our bags. "I try to stall as much as I can, hoping to come up with a solution.
They agreed, but time was of the essence. When I returned home, Xiaomei immediately greeted me: "What should we do?"
I took a deep breath and said, "We have to get out of here, but we can't just give up our home." I'll go to my friends to see if I can find a temporary place to stay. You pack your important stuff and we're ready to go. ”
Xiaomei nodded and began to get busy. I knew that this separation could be dangerous, but I had to protect her.
On that chaotic night, we quietly left the house. I took Xiaomei through the alleys, avoiding those who were searching for us. When we came to an abandoned warehouse, I saw a familiar figure - it was my old comrade-in-arms, who promised to help us.
"It's safe here for now, you guys rest here first. His voice was full of concern.
I nodded gratefully, then looked at Xiaomei: "We're safe for the time being." ”
Xiaomei held my hand tightly, and her eyes flashed with determination: "As long as we are together, there is hope." ”
In that humble warehouse, we snuggled up to each other, and although the environment was tough, our hearts were closer than ever. I know that no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as we walk together, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. Our love, like that tenacious life, shines brightest in the face of adversity.
In that abandoned warehouse, we had a hard and long time. Despite the harsh environment, Xiaomei never complained, she always faced everything with optimism, giving me endless courage and strength. We rely on each other to face life's dilemmas together.
However, as time went on, the turmoil in the outside world did not stop. Our temporary shelters are also becoming increasingly unsafe. One night, we heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the warehouse. I nervously shook Mei's hand and motioned for her to be quiet.
"We may have been found out and we have to get out of here. I whispered.
Xiaomei nodded, without the slightest hesitation. We quickly packed up our few remaining belongings and slipped quietly through the back door of the warehouse. We walked through narrow alleys, trying to avoid possible dangers.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the darkness: "Wait a minute, is that you?"
I stopped, turned to look, and saw a figure emerge from the darkness. It was my old comrade-in-arms, he looked exhausted, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Are you all right? I found a safe place to house you temporarily. His voice was full of concern.
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, you saved us." ”
We followed him through the winding alleys and eventually to a hidden hut. Although this place is simple, it is much better than the previous warehouse.
"Stay here first, and I'll do my best to keep you safe. There was firmness in the voice of the old comrade-in-arms.
Xiaomei and I glanced at each other, and the gratitude in our hearts was indescribable. We were stuck again, but this time we had hope. As long as we are united, nothing is impossible.
In that cottage we spent long days. Even though life is still difficult, we support each other and face it together. Our cottage has become our haven of shelter, and our love has been strengthened in these difficult years.
I know that no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as we walk together, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. Our love, like that tenacious life, shines brightest in the face of adversity. We believe that as long as we persevere, there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel.
