This is a true story that happened during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
One morning in the autumn of 1953, the officers and men of the 5th Tank Regiment and the Artillery Regiment of a certain army of the Chinese People's Volunteers held a special meeting in a mountainous area. On the rostrum, there was a row of leaders. It was just about 10 o'clock when one of the chiefs stood up and said:
"Everyone is quiet, now we have a meeting, and I invite the military political commissar to speak."
The military commissar held a document in his hand and stood up and announced:
"Today we are in a foreign land, announcing an order that does not want to be announced. The commander of the artillery regiment, Guangliang, a native of Kaifeng, Henan, is 32 years old, highly Chinese, and a combat hero with both civil and military skills; not long ago, he commanded an artillery battalion and defeated the modern tank unit of the US imperialists, which was called the trump card, and was once commended by Marshal Kim Il Sung. In June of this year, he had a romantic relationship with Kim Jin-ok, a North Korean girl who is now pregnant. After the incident, although he confessed to the organization, he still had to deal with it seriously according to military discipline, and he himself said that he had no complaints. It is hereby reported to the higher authorities for approval and sentenced to death, and the execution will be carried out today......"
When the officers and men in the audience heard this, they all bowed their heads and were very sad, and they all regretted the light.
Because, a few months ago, everyone heard the military political commissar report on the glorious heroic deeds, but today he is going to be executed, who is not sad?!
Immediately, two armed soldiers were to escort Guangliang to the execution ground.
The execution ground is not far from the venue. Just as the two soldiers were about to pull the trigger, a girl rushed over like crazy and shouted, "You can't kill him!" Can't kill him! She screamed as she shielded herself from the light.
She is the North Korean girl Kim Jin-ok, who speaks fluent Chinese. Then, she said loudly: "I took the initiative to find Guangliang, and if you want to shoot me, this has nothing to do with Guangliang, I am the one who involved him, and I am determined to live and die together with Guangliang." As he spoke, he clung to the light and didn't let go. No matter how much the army chief tried to persuade her, she just clung to the light, and no one could separate them.
It turned out that in a battle, when Guangliang exploded an enemy tank, he was wounded and fainted to the ground, and Kim Jin-ok, a North Korean girl who served as a battlefield ambulance, found out and gave him first aid in time, and then carried him to his own residence - Yangshudong. Kim Jin-ok's parents were killed by American planes, and she lived alone in the cave. In order to avenge her parents, she joined the militia and served as a battlefield ambulance. She stood by his side day and night. Bandage his wounds, give him water and medicine. When Guangliang woke up and was about to return to the army, she stopped her and said, "Your wounds are not healed, and your body is weak, how can you move around." Under her careful care, the bright wound gradually healed. Day after day, the two developed a love affair, and the flame of love burned more and more. Guangliang knew that military discipline was difficult to violate, but he couldn't refuse Jin Zhenyu's love, so it was a boat. When Guangliang returned to the unit after his injuries recovered, he reported the matter to the regiment commander in 1510 and demanded that it be dealt with seriously, saying: "Even if it is executed, I have no regrets." ”
Because Jin Zhenyu clung to the light, no one could separate them, and more than half an hour passed from the time originally scheduled for execution. The military chiefs on the rostrum are still discussing, how to handle this matter? If they were forcibly pulled away and Guangliang shot, Kim Jin-ok would definitely commit suicide, and the child in her womb would also die, so that she would not be able to explain to her superiors and the North Korean people. In the end, it was decided to send a telegram to the headquarters.
After reading the telegram, Peng Dehuai, commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, said with a happy face: "This matter is easy to do. He picked up the pen and wrote six large characters on the telegram: "Agree to their marriage." He signed it and handed it to the operator.
On the execution ground, after receiving the telegram from the headquarters, the military political commissar immediately stood up and announced: "Today's special meeting is adjourned here, and at the order of Commander Peng, we will return to the team with light!" ”
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Jin Zhenyu left the execution ground with the light.
Three years later, Guangliang returned to China, and Jin Zhenyu came to Shenyang with his children. Guangliang was arranged to be the deputy section chief of the Shenyang Locomotive Depot, and Jin Zhenyu was a Korean teacher at the Shenyang Railway Station Middle School, and their child was named Jin Guang.
Their story left a good story of the marriage between China and North Korea, which was widely spread among the people.
Chen Guanren, the secretary of the CPC History Publishing House's "Ten Marshals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army: The Little-Known History of the Ten Commanders of the People's Liberation Army," recounted the incident. The book is the society's annual bestseller, with sales of more than one million copies, and once ranked first on China's military bestseller list (pictured).
