During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression on the mainland, many heroes who were willing to shed their blood to protect the country emerged, and they assumed the responsibility of serving the country at the moment of the existential crisis of the Chinese nation.
Everyone's perception of heroes must be that they are dominated by men, but in fact, they don't think so, and women can also hold up half the sky when it comes to contributing to the country. During this time of war, many outstanding progressive women also emerged to fight for the country.
Xue Ming is one of them, perhaps everyone's perception of her identity is limited to "He Long's wife", but they don't know that she is called "Tsing Yi Beauty" because of her outstanding charm and talent.
She was not only a good hand in the revolution, but also very considerate of her family. Today, let's get closer to this legendary woman - Xue Ming.
Xue Ming was born in a poor peasant family, her father died early, and her mother raised her alone, such a family background made her more intelligent since she was a child, knowing the hard work of her mother, and her character was also very resolute, and she was even able to help her mother support the family together.
Although Xue Ming's family is poor, her family attaches great importance to her studies and tries their best to provide her with education, and she herself has a thirst for knowledge and the ability to learn.
During her studies at school, she also developed a strong interest in national and social issues, and also aspired to be able to contribute to the country through her own efforts.
In front of me is the appearance of Xue Ming when she was young, I saw that she looked very delicate, her eyes were big as if she could speak, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at it made people feel very close, and her dress was also very simple, although she did not immediately join the Communist Party organization when she was young, but her expression at this time was already very independent temperament of a "strong woman".
Xue Ming's fate with the revolution began with the outbreak of the 129 Movement, when Xue Ming was in Tianjin, because it was very close to the outbreak point of the incident, Beiping, she and her companions also learned the news for the first time, so they carried out a demonstration, shouting their revolutionary slogans loudly, while telling the masses about revolutionary ideas, which can be described as the awakening of revolutionary concepts.

Since then, Xue Ming has also been fighting for the revolutionary cause, and the Communist Party organization has also seen her innocence for the country, and Xue Ming has successfully become a member of the Communist Party of China.
In Tianjin, she also accepted the party's arrangement and began her own liaison work, and then with the spread of the war, Xue Ming followed the party to Nanjing, Jiangxi and other places, just to dedicate his strength to the War of Resistance against Japan.
The beauty on the right side of the photo is Xue Ming, she has neat short hair for the convenience of the revolutionary cause, she looks very refreshing, her eyes are bright, and she seems to be full of enthusiasm for the revolutionary cause.
As the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression intensified, Xue Ming also followed the Communist Party to the Yan'an Revolutionary Base, where she carried out revolutionary work while also meeting a lifelong companion - He Long.
The acquaintance of the two is also a routine introduced by old-fashioned acquaintances, He Long happened to be divorced at the time, causing many comrades in the party to be very concerned about his love life, and Xue Ming happened to appear at this time, her net worth is innocent and He Long has the same revolutionary aspirations, no matter what, the two are very compatible, so someone began to introduce the two to each other.
In front of me is a photo of Xue Ming and He Long when they were in Yan'an, I saw He Long smiling very happily, with a very representative beard, wearing coarse cloth clothes, looking very simple, Xue Ming stood aside shyly, with a bright smile, looking very optimistic and cheerful, beautiful.
But just the introduction of acquaintances still can't shorten the distance between the two, the main thing is to get in touch with the two themselves, and the two shy people slowly began to understand each other.
Judging from the Douyin Encyclopedia, at first, He Long's majesty made the young Xue Ming very afraid, but after contact, he found that He Long's just the right humor and thoughtfulness made him feel very comfortable to get along with.
In the process of contact, He Long also had an appreciation for the young but ambitious little woman in front of him.
After going back and forth, the two of them got along more and more smoothly, and after hinting to each other to confirm their intentions, He Long's movements were also very fast, and he immediately expressed his love to Xue Ming.
Xue Ming felt a little frightened at first about such a fast pace, and was afraid that he would directly become the "chief's wife" after marrying He Long, causing other people's gossip, and thought that even if he got married, he couldn't stop his life of becoming the "big heroine", so he gladly accepted He Long's marriage proposal.
In the days that followed, Xue Ming and He Long began to meet and communicate frequently, and they participated in a series of revolutionary activities together, and they not only worked closely together, but also became more and more intimate emotionally.
In the harsh circumstances of the revolution, the two men experienced a difficult life and a dangerous escape together, but their firm belief in the communist cause kept them going.
In the photo in front of him, Marshal He Long is wearing a casual shirt, his eyes are firm, his heroic face and upright posture show his majesty and determination as a military leader, putting one hand on his wife's shoulder, and Xue Ming gently grabbing He Long's hand, as if expressing their support for each other, and their eyes also reveal trust and understanding for each other.
Due to the particularity of each other's identities, it is the norm for the two to get together less and leave more, Xue Ming chose to be with He Long for a lifetime, which means that she needs more tolerance and forbearance, not only is it rare to get together during the New Year's Festival, but the child cannot be accompanied in time when the child is born.
How many times in order to allow He Long to fight on the front line with peace of mind, she had to take care of everything in the family, and her son could only take care of it by herself.
In order to enhance the father-son relationship between He Long and her son, how many times did she walk to see He Long alone with her son in her arms for such a small amount of time to meet, without mentioning her own hard work, but only caring about letting the father and son cultivate their feelings.
The group in the photo shows that the life of the Communists in Yan'an is not easy, I see that everyone is dressed very plainly, and even some people are barefoot, and they do not wear a pair of decent shoes, which shows that life is hard, and they live in simple and dilapidated caves, and such difficult living conditions must be everyone's belief to support their lives for a long time.
Life is always getting better and better, and with the founding of New China, the lives of He Long and his wife Xue Ming have also undergone tremendous changes. They retired from the front line of the revolutionary war and started a new life.
He Long was appointed vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and concurrently served as minister of national defense, making important contributions to the country's security and stability.
Xue Ming returned to his family after the founding of New China. Although she no longer participates in revolutionary work, she has always been concerned about the development of the country and the people, devoted herself to poverty alleviation and support the cause of women and children, and made contributions to society and the family.
When it comes to family, the two regard the family as a solid backing for revolutionary work, and pass on love and warmth to their families. The group photo in front of them shows their retirement life.
In the group photo, they sit on a marble bench with a green garden in the background. Marshal He Long's body was slightly rickety, smiling, while Xue Ming was quietly leaning on He Long, his eyebrows were full of tenderness and happiness.
The family of the two is also very sweet, under the hard revolutionary life, Xue Ming takes care of the housework in an orderly manner, attaches importance to the cultivation of the children, and He Long has always been a heroic and magnificent father figure in the hearts of the children. They have always regarded family as the pillar of their lives, and they also regard family as their sense of belonging in life.
The group photo in front of me is a beautiful memory of He Long's family and a microcosm of family life during the Chinese Revolution. This photograph is a record of what everyone in their family looks like. In the group photo, Marshal He Long and Wang Aizhen stood hand in hand in the middle of the children, and several children leaned closely against the couple. They are dressed in neat Chinese clothes, and their traditional taste and solemn atmosphere make people feel very grand.
Even now, we can feel the happiness and beauty of this family.
Under the influence and cultivation of the love of He Long and Xue Ming, their children are also excellent, especially their son He Pengfei, who can be said to be as his name suggests, with great talent, who wants Dapeng to spread his wings in the field he loves, and also helps the country to develop and take off together.
He Pengfei participated in the test launch of China's first intercontinental missile, and successfully carried out the launch and hit mission of the missile. This feat marks China as one of the few countries in the world that has ICBM technology. He Pengfei is also highly respected and praised in the army, and is even called a military genius by everyone.
He Pengfei in the photo looks very similar to Marshal He Long, although he is relatively young, his eyes are firm, giving people a very firm, confident, and resolute impression. From his eyes, he can see his admiration for the father next to him, which seems to mean that his future will go on a similar path to serve the country as his father.
According to People's Daily Online, He Long died in 1969 because of his health, which was a heavy blow to Xue Ming, and Xue Ming continued He Long's wish to continue to serve the people and help the poor.
Xue Ming finally came out of her grief in the company of her children, but God played a big joke on her. In 2001, He Pengfei died of a heart attack in Beijing at the age of 55, Xue Ming experienced the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, and finally fell ill and died in 2001.
The couple in the photo, after many years, can still feel the sweetness between them, such a respectful relationship is so admirable, and can also deeply feel the greatness of the most revolutionary people, the couple.
Xue Ming's life shows us the power of women, on the battlefield, she is not timid, it can be said that she has fought for the party and the people all her life, for love and family, she can be said to be dedicated, support her husband's work, and dedicate herself to raising children, such a great woman deserves our admiration.
