I flipped through the heavy revolutionary documentary "Soldier's Mother" page by page, and the thin paper was like lead. I felt the bitterness and bitterness of Bing's mother chapter by chapter, and tears welled up.
One by one, I put my face close to my dear mothers, and I could still feel their body temperature, their pulse, their heartbeat, soft, soft, warm, and so strong and hot...... In the tears in his eyes, he wept and wept the following tear-stained words.
It is said that father's love is like a mountain, and mother's love is like the sea. Our father taught us to be strong and unyielding, and my mother taught us to be kind and loving. Bing mothers combine fatherly love and maternal love, they are "soldiers" + "mothers".
took off their red makeup, wielded a five-foot steel gun, they are as resolute as a mountain, they are fraternal as the sea, they are women, they are wives, they are mothers, they are the pillars of a family, but they are them, their first identity is first of all a soldier.
Most of the protagonists described in "Soldier Mother" are not the wives of the generals who are familiar to everyone, and the deeds of them and their husbands are little known, and they hide behind their husbands, silently dedicated, with hard work, husbands and children, squeezing out the last drop of milk and spitting out the last silk.
They walk on the road, no different from ordinary people. They would also go to squeeze the bus, bargain in the vegetable market, chatter with Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li, and moan in the ordinary ward when they were sick. Who knows, they once came through the smoke of gunpowder?
Who knows, they have also been successful? Who knows, their wonderful and touching legendary life! In fact, in our revolutionary epic, in addition to the commanding generals, there are more selfless devotees who would rather "succeed in one battle" and more selfless supporters behind them, and these silent majority are the backbone of the republic.
Most of the soldiers' mothers come from the lowest level of society, child daughters-in-law, peasant girls, contract workers, and some from the ladies, small families, and scholars, but they all gather under the banner of the Communist Party and fight bloodily for the liberation of the toiling masses.
The mothers of soldiers are full of "soldiers", and they are synonymous with courage and loyalty. Tenderness, women have it; The chivalrous bones have been perfectly embodied in the soldiers' mothers. Many of the soldiers' mothers came out of Jinggang Mountain, Dabie Mountain, Daba Mountain, the shore of Honghu Lake, and the Loess Plateau, and they were left in the snow-capped mountains and grasslands.
The famous writer Ding Ling said with emotion when interviewing female soldiers who had experienced the Long March in Yan'an, "The most bitter thing about the Long March is that it suffers female soldiers." Women are often associated with gentleness, so good people cry out, "Keep women away from war!" But the female soldiers of the Red Army resolutely entered the war for their own liberation and national independence and freedom.
According to statistics and research, the female Red Army who participated in the Long March and arrived in northern Shaanxi were: Deng Yingchao, Cai Chang, Kang Keqing, He Zizhen and other 32; The Red Second Front Army had 21 members including Li Zhen and Chen Zongying; The Red 25th Army has 7 people, including Zhou Dongping and Dai Juemin.
The number of female Red Army members of the Red Fourth Front Army is the largest, with a total of more than 2,000 people, and He Ziyou, the wife of the martyr Zhou Zikun, deputy chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, described in the book "Soldier Mother", is one of them.
At that time, the female soldiers of the Red Army overcame unimaginable difficulties, especially the physiological phenomena peculiar to women, marched and fought with their male comrades, and slept in the open.
It is also necessary to undertake many tasks such as treating the wounded and carrying out propaganda and agitation. They were called "political warriors", and they often had to walk more than 10 miles a day than ordinary soldiers when they were on the march, so Zhou Enlai praised them as people who walked 35,000 miles.
The soldiers came from the snow-capped mountains and meadows, from Jinggang Mountain to Baota Mountain, from Qilian Mountain to Wuzhi Mountain, from Dabie Mountain to Taihang Mountain, from Xiangjiang River, Ganjiang River, Jialing River to Yalu River...... Bullets and bullets all the way, all the way to the smoke of war, every inch of the journey has left their blood-stained demeanor.
Fang Kun, a female soldier of the New Fourth Army, when the troops were transferred, in order not to drag down the troops, she was pregnant with a big belly, holding her seriously ill daughter, breaking through the blockade and returning to her husband's hometown to give birth.
When the child fell to the ground, the first daughter became sicker, her skin ulcerated, and she died soon after. The untimely death of his daughter has become a lingering pain in Fang Kun's heart forever! It's hard for the mothers of soldiers during the war years! They had to march and fight, and they had to bear the burden of giving birth and raising children.
For the sake of the revolution, many mothers of soldiers had to foster their beloved children in their hometowns, separated flesh and bones, and stripped flesh from the heart, who does not know this pain of life and death!
But the soldier's mother knows better: since she chose the revolution, it means that she has to lose and pay a lot, including love, family, children, and even life. The mothers of soldiers still hold the most jobs in the army as health soldiers and literary and artistic soldiers.
We all know that in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the most tragic battle was the Battle of Shangganling, but who knew that when the Battle of Shangganling entered the white-hot stage, there were actually our soldiers who were active on the battlefield.
On the battlefield where there was no grass and gunpowder smoke, they brought greetings from their superiors, condolences to the motherland, and popular literary and artistic programs, which were called "battlefield larks."
In the three-year Korean War, only the literary and artistic soldiers of the 12th Army suffered hundreds of casualties, one of them was a female soldier named Dai Rupin, born in a scholarly family, beautiful and versatile, her dream in her youth was to be an excellent singer, but on the way to the front line to perform, she was bombed by enemy planes, her life was forever fixed in the Sugu Pass, her whole body was blown to the ground, only two bloodstained long braids hung on the treetops by the river and swayed in the wind......
The book "Soldier Mother" reveals that the two soldiers' mothers-in-arms, Geng Yulan and Zhong Pingping, the comrades-in-arms of the martyr Dai Rupin (in fact, I should call them aunts), are still alive and living in Nanjing, and are still active on the stage of promoting red culture.
I really want to have the opportunity to visit the two lovely mothers of soldiers in Nanjing, listen to them sing "The Battle Song of the Volunteers", and express to them the respect of a junior to the mothers of soldiers!
"Soldier Mother" depicts the legendary experiences of many female soldiers, and almost everyone can write a thrilling TV series.
According to the "History of Chinese Martial Arts", "He Ziyou, the twelfth generation descendant of Wudang's 'Taihemen'...... learned the stunts of 'Deifying the Five Poisons and Thunderbolts'", but no one thought that this apprentice miscellaneous soldier would become the "two-gun He girl" of the Women's Independent Regiment of the Red Fourth Front Army, which made the enemy fearful.
Li Yi's old mother's prison documentary, ups and downs, thrilling, is a real "Iron Window Fire".
The poem "May Night," which she wrote while in prison, "...... The stars are shining, the night will pass, and tomorrow's misery will still greet me and you, dear companion, hold up your strong chest, and the blood-red sun will rise in the east. "It's still heart-pounding to read.
After Liu Shanben, the first person in the Kuomintang Air Force uprising and one of the founders of our Air Force, flew to Yan'an, his wife Zhou Shuhuang was in danger for a while, and the Kuomintang spies applied both soft and hard to her, and followed her to investigate, but she resolutely abandoned the glory and wealth, and would rather sell all her belongings and decide to run to the light with her husband.
We have heard the story of "Mulan in the Army" since we were children, and this kind of heroine who dresses as a man is also common among soldiers' mothers, and Qi Lindi is one of them.
Her original name was Qi Yixiang, she participated in the revolution at the age of 14, for the convenience of movement, tied her chest and cut her hair, dressed herself as a boy, worked as a traffic officer, a health officer, and when she was a correspondent for the old chief Tan Qilong's political commissar, the chief gave her an alias "Little Brother", Qi Yixiang simply renamed herself Qi Lindi, which means the little brother in the jungle of Siming Mountain. With this outfit, she has successfully completed the task of delivering intelligence many times.
There is also a soldier mother named Liu Luzeng, who was born in a famous family, but after the baptism of war, she finally experienced from a Shanghai socialite to a "battlefield nightingale", she relied on her proficient English, fought wits and courage with prisoners of war in the volunteer prisoner of war camp, risked her life to break through the "valley of death", and served as a war announcer on the front line.
What is dramatic is that after the reform and opening up, she actually met the prisoners of war in a foreign country, and Liu Luzeng's mother performed a touching scene of the victor and the defeated "meeting and laughing at each other" with the unique kindness of Chinese women.
The mothers of the soldiers are a very ordinary group, washing and cooking, husbands and children, dedicating their youth, dedicating their old age, dedicating their old age, and dedicating their lives. Raised the second generation, and raised the third generation, working endlessly, giving without regrets. Who says they're ordinary? In their ordinariness breeds greatness.
They are an umbrella that supports the family, sheltering their husbands and children from the wind and rain, and warming themselves from the cold. Especially after the death of their husbands, they worked hard to pull up the orphans of the martyrs; After their husbands and even themselves were wronged, they gritted their teeth and stood firm, sticking to that loyalty, sticking to that loyalty, sticking to that responsibility;
In times of economic hardship, the first puffy person in the family must be our mother; When children travel thousands of miles, our mothers are still the most worried.
When the motherland is in trouble, it is definitely our mother who is the first to send her children to the battlefield. They combine their love for their motherland with their love for their loved ones, and in the balance between themselves and their families, they always sacrifice themselves.
With the support and encouragement of her mother, six of her seven children completed their formal university education and four granddaughters received doctorates.
The mothers themselves are the embodiment of love, pure love, noble love, selfless love. Many of them broke through the feudal barriers and boldly pursued love, and carefully cared for love in the turbulent era, so that they spent their lives watching love, and even when a few negative men betrayed love, they could still never abandon their families and children, and maintain the crystallization of their love.
They are the heroes of the women who "don't let the eyebrows" and the heroes of true love. Most of the mothers of soldiers married their like-minded comrades-in-arms and comrades in the revolutionary ranks during the war years. Since then, life and death have depended on each other.
Mao Zedong once officiated at the wedding of He Ziyou and Zhou Zikun, deputy chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, wishing them "to go hand in hand and fight to the end for the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people and for the happiness of millions of toiling people!" This sentence became He Ziyou's motto, after the sacrifice of her husband Zhou Zikun, she supported the burden of the family alone and carefully raised the orphans of the martyrs.
In 1985, He Ziyou, who was 72 years old, insisted on finding and visiting the martyrdom of martyr Zhou Zikun. The local villagers persuaded her, "Don't go up, there is no way to go", and He's mother said: "Go up without a road!" She was on crutches and climbed through the steep jungle where there was almost no way out.
When she trembled and came to the place where her husband's body was buried, the old mother was touched by the scene, burst into tears, and muttered, Zikun will not forget me...... This situation and this scene moved the heavens and the earth.
Yang Yan, the soldier's mother, in the flames of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and Rao Huitan, the deputy head of the Tiger Regiment, met, knew and fell in love, which was a kind of love between beauties and heroes.
It can be said that most of the love of soldiers' mothers is born due to the worship of heroes, which is a kind of friendship between life and death, and this is an eternal love.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Rao Hui Tan, then chief of staff of the 23rd Army, died heroically. When the bad news came, Yang Yan was grief-stricken, but she survived strongly, and promised her mother-in-law that she would never remarry and start from the beginning.
Since then, the young soldier's mother has closed all the windows of personal feelings, and devoted all her time and energy to work, study, and daily household chores of raising her children.
The three female comrades-in-arms of Li Wen's old mother are the fiancées of the head of the 253 regiment, the political commissar, and the chief of staff. It was agreed in advance that the wedding would be held collectively after the Battle of Kinmen.
The girls were watching and looking forward to this side of the sea, but their sweethearts who went out on the expedition never returned. is the so-called "poor and uncertain riverside bones, still a person in a spring boudoir dream"!
Whenever the old mother of Li Wen mentioned the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, she would be silent for a while. She pursed her lips, clenched the roots of her teeth, and looked blankly into the distance. There are no tears in her eyes, and the mothers of soldiers who have experienced the test of war and life and death only shed tears in their hearts!
Gorky once said, "All the glory and pride in the world comes from the mother." "After reading "Bing Mother" in the middle of the night, I was already wet with tears.
Thanks to the authors, with their true feelings, with their delicate brushstrokes, touching and beautiful words, and with their great love for their mothers, they show us a vivid soldier mother. I am also grateful to the editor-in-chief for opening each chapter with a poem, which adds a bit of bleakness and tragedy to the story of the soldiers' mothers.
Many of the soldier mothers described in the book, many of whom I don't know, but who seem to be familiar with each other, are so cute, amiable and respectable, and so lifelike, I can't help but call out to them "Mom"!
And a miracle happened, and in the midst of tears, my mother came to me from heaven, with a few more wrinkles on her face and a few more gray hairs on her head, and I threw myself into my mother's arms with a cry......
