In 1955, a "special" wedding was held in Zhangjiaquan Village. I saw that the bridegroom had no limbs, and one eye was still covered with gauze. He entered the house with the help of his bride.
The onlookers couldn't help but discuss: This girl really can't think of it!
Surprisingly, the wife actually guarded her husband for 55 years.
Why did the bride decide to marry the groom? Why did she not abandon him?
初见
"I don't agree to this marriage!"
In 1955, at a family's dinner table, a middle-aged woman was so angry that she dropped her chopsticks.
The girl sitting next to her sighed deeply when she saw her mother's tough attitude.
The girl's name is Chen Xiyong, 22 years old this year, and she has reached the age of kissing.
Two days ago, her uncle Wu Xiande found her and said that he wanted to introduce her to someone.
Wu Xiande works in the Civil Affairs Bureau and knows many young talents. When her mother heard the news, she hurriedly asked Chen Xiyong to change into new clothes and go to the appointment.
Chen Xiyong thought that the blind date would be in a hotel or park. As a result, Wu Xiande took her directly to the hospital.
Wu Xiande told her that he was going to introduce her to a volunteer. He was wounded on the battlefield and has not yet recovered.
Chen Xiyong couldn't help but be happy after hearing this, the thing she admired the most was the soldiers.
She was born in a war-torn era and grew up listening to the sound of gunfire. She had seen her fellow villagers being invaded by the enemy.
At that time, the family always hid in Tibet, often ate the last meal without the next, and her parents suffered a lot in order to raise her.
Later, the Red Army came, and they risked their lives to drive the enemy away and protect the homes of ordinary people. At that time, she thought that she must marry a brave warrior in the future.
Wu Xiande saw his niece's happy face, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried. He led Chen Xiyong into a hospital room.
As soon as Chen Xiyong entered, he saw a man lying on the bed. The man's left eye was covered with gauze and his right eye was tightly closed.
Hearing the knock on the door, the man opened his eyes and quickly sat up when he saw someone coming.
As soon as he moved, the quilt slid off his body, revealing his upper body.
Chen Xiyong covered his mouth in shock. I saw that the lower ends of the man's two arms were empty, and there were no palms at all!
Chen Xiyong looked at his uncle with some anger. Why didn't my uncle tell her in advance?
Chen Xiyong is not discriminating against people with disabilities. It's just that her first blind date, and her uncle didn't explain the other party's situation clearly, so she couldn't accept it at once.
Wu Xiande showed a wry smile to her, and then walked towards the man: "Yanfu, you are awake." This is my niece, named Chen Xiyong, you two talk. ”
Zhu Yanfu was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Wu Xiande was going to introduce him to someone. As soon as Zhu Yanfu wanted to refuse, Wu Xiande pushed Chen Xiyong in front of him.
Looking at each other, Chen Xiyong felt very embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Zhu Yanfu was not easy to say no to the girl, so he picked up the crutches next to the bed and stood on the ground.
Zhu Yanfu showed his legs to Chen Xiyong: "Girl, look." Not only did I have no hands, my feet were also mutilated, and I was blind in my left eye. ”
He showed his flaws to Chen Xiyong, hoping that Chen Xiyong would reject him directly.
Only then did Chen Xiyong see Zhu Yanfu's feet clearly, and it turned out that Zhu Yanfu was a man with mutilated limbs. Chen Xiyong didn't know how to deal with it, and slowly lowered his head.
Zhu Yanfu sighed deeply, since he came back from the battlefield, he never thought about getting married. The rest of his life is no longer hopeful, how can he drag others down.
Seeing that the atmosphere was frozen, Wu Xiande directly pulled Chen Xiyong out.
He said bitterly: "It's my fault that I didn't make it clear today." It's just that Zhu Yanfu has suffered a lot for the country, you must not have a bad opinion of him! ”
Chen Xiyong understood what his uncle meant. Wu Xiande also participated in the Anti-Japanese War work, and admired these anti-Japanese war heroes the most.
Zhu Yanfu must be a people's hero who stands up to the sky, so his uncle values him so much and is willing to introduce his niece to him.
Chen Xiyong was curious about Zhu Yanfu in her heart, and she returned to the ward. Zhu Yanfu couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw Chen Xiyong coming back.
Chen Xiyong apologized to him, she didn't speak just now, but she hadn't seen this kind of scene, and she didn't look down on him.
She was willing to further develop with Zhu Yanfu, and said that she wanted to know about Zhu Yanfu's past.
Zhu Yanfu looked at the sincere girl in front of him, tears flashing in his eyes. It wasn't that no one in the army introduced him to a partner before, but the girls were all scared away when they saw him.
Now that someone is willing to approach him, Zhu Yanfu doesn't want to refuse anymore. He recounted his own experiences.
Tragic experience
Zhu Yanfu, like Chen Xiyong, was born during the most turbulent period of the country. After the Japanese army was beaten away, Zhu Yanfu thought that the era of peace had finally arrived.
As a result, before the common people could catch their breath, the civil war began again. In order to protect his family and defend the country, Zhu Yanfu joined the People's Liberation Army at the age of 14.
In the following three years, Zhu Yanfu participated in hundreds of battles. Due to his young age and lack of combat experience, Zhu Yanfu was not valued by his superiors.
In 1950, 17-year-old Zhu Yanfu went to the Korean battlefield with the army.
As soon as they entered North Korea, the team encountered a heavy snowstorm for several days. Zhu Yanfu's team entered the court temporarily, and the soldiers did not prepare sufficient clothing to protect themselves from the cold.
On the way to the battlefield, thousands of people in the ranks froze to death.
Zhu Yanfu didn't expect that his teammates, who were still fighting bloodily on the battlefield before, did not die under the enemy's artillery fire, but died in the face of natural disasters.
In order to keep more comrades-in-arms alive, the company commander asked them to take off the clothes of their dead comrades-in-arms and put them on.
The soldiers were not taboo, and after putting on their clothes, they buried their comrades in another country.
The team sped up and headed forward. The warriors, like penguins, are close together to defend against the wind and snow.
After three days and nights of marching, they finally reached Changjin Lake. The smoke of gunpowder was filled in the distance, and even the mountains were dyed gray and black, and it looked like they had experienced a long and vicious battle.
The superiors immediately gave an order to the fighters: join the battle immediately and be sure to hold the 250 heights!
The company commander rushed forward with everyone, and at this time the 250 heights had been captured by the enemy. At the foot of the mountain, the ice was littered with the corpses of his comrades.
The enemy planes discovered Zhu Yanfu and his entourage and immediately launched a fierce attack on them.
Zhu Yanfu couldn't dodge and was directly blown back dozens of meters by an enemy shell. He spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The situation of other comrades-in-arms is not optimistic. It's a wilderness, and it's snowy, and it's hard for people to find a place to hide.
The company commander could only lead people to rush up. Artillery fire from the top of the hill rained down, and the fighters at the front acted as shields for their teammates in the rear.
When the warrior in front falls, the warrior behind picks up. In this way, the volunteer army stubbornly broke into the 250 heights.
In order to avoid accidental damage, enemy planes can only circle around, looking for missing fighters.
Zhu Yanfu rushed into the enemy camp with the large army, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the scene on the top of the mountain: the enemy army was still busy making a fire and cooking!
Zhu Yanfu thought of his comrades-in-arms who were frozen to death and starved to death, and he was indignant. He rushed straight into the enemy's artillery fire, drew his saber and slashed at him.
After some fighting, the enemy was successfully driven down the mountain by our troops. The fighters hurriedly searched for supplies left behind by the enemy troops.
But when the enemy rushed up, they had already destroyed all the food and cotton clothes, and there was not even any wood left for the fire.
The fighters were disappointed, they had not eaten for three days. Now it's freezing cold, and there's nowhere to find wild fruit.
Zhu Yanfu tightened his belt to relieve hunger. The company commander saw that everyone's health had reached the limit, so he hurriedly contacted his superiors and asked for reinforcements.
The enemy will certainly continue to attack after dawn, and they must be vigilant and not slacken.
Just as everyone was about to rest, the aroma of barbecue suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain.
The fighters swallowed, they knew that the enemy was deliberately provoking.
There was a cold wind hanging on the top of the mountain, and as long as you opened your mouth, you would pour cold air into your stomach.
Zhu Yanfu closed his mouth, he thought that after the battle, he must let his mother stew pork for him for several days.
While the fighters were still asleep, enemy artillery fire hit their feet directly. The crowd began a new round of fighting.
The enemy planes no longer hesitated, and one shell after another was thrown into the middle of the high ground, blasting a crack in the entire hill.
The enemy at the foot of the mountain took the opportunity to rush up, but Zhu Yanfu and others resisted stubbornly, but they were still driven down the mountain by the enemy.
Before the team could recuperate, they rushed forward again. 250 Heights changed sides several times in just one day.
By dusk, there were only a dozen people left in Zhu Yanfu's team.
The enemy's munitions were as if they were running out, and a dense barrage of shells flew towards the scattered few people.
Zhu Yanfu and the company commander were blown up.
Zhu Yanfu's chest and abdomen were blown out of holes. He looked at the dying company commander on the side and hurriedly held his hand.
The company commander said angrily: "Reinforcements will arrive soon, we must hold the 250 heights!" After saying that, he swallowed his breath.
Zhu Yanfu's tears fell, and he didn't have time to deal with the wounds on his body, so he rushed to the position with the remaining few people.
When the enemy saw them rushing forward regardless of life and death, they finally became frightened, and after firing a few shots indiscriminately, they ran down the hill again.
At this time, it suddenly snowed in the sky, and Zhu Yanfu felt that his limbs had no strength. Now he just wanted to get a good night's sleep, and he fell headlong to the ground.
When Zhu Yanfu woke up again, he was already lying in the hospital in Xi'an. His limbs had been frozen and had to be amputated.
Zhu Yanfu saw that he had become a disabled person and was bent on death.
At this time, his superiors came to visit him and told him that he was the only survivor on the 250 heights.
Zhu Yanfu cried, everyone died in a foreign country, only he can see his relatives and friends, what is there not to be satisfied with?
Aimori
After listening to Zhu Yanfu's story, Chen Xiyong was already in tears. Compared with Zhu Yanfu, she is simply a flower raised in a greenhouse.
It was a warrior like Zhu Yanfu who guarded this greenhouse. A great person like Zhu Yanfu, she is willing to take care of him for the rest of her life.
Chen Xiyong made up his mind to marry Zhu Yanfu. But when she told her family about it, she was met with strong opposition from her family.
Parents will think about the future of their children, if Chen Xiyong marries Zhu Yanfu, then the future will definitely be very hard.
Chen Xiyong was resolute: "If it weren't for these fighters to protect our country, I wouldn't have a future." ”
My mother remembered the old war years, when the Red Army soldiers threw their heads and shed their blood one by one. She was ashamed and no longer objected.
After that, Zhu Yanfu and Chen Xiyong got married smoothly.
At that time, many people thought that Chen Xiyong married Zhu Yanfu because he was too young and impulsive. But they didn't expect that the two would never leave each other and have been with each other for 55 years.
The days after marriage are indeed very hard, Chen Xiyong has to go up the mountain to chop wood every day, and go down the mountain to accompany Zhu Yanfu to the hospital. When I returned home, I had to take care of my elderly mother-in-law.
Zhu Yanfu saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. In order to ease the burden on his wife, he began to work as a branch secretary in the village.
The two supported each other in this way, supported the whole family, and then they walked together for another 55 years.
Later, Chen Xiyong died of illness. Zhu Yanfu was grief-stricken, and he personally dressed his lover in linen and filial piety, and accompanied her on the last journey.
