In 1933, Xu Shiyou finally met the rumored "Chief Coach of the Red Army" He Ziyou, and his eyes were shining brightly. Seeing this, He Ziyou could only cry and laugh and stepped forward to accept the offer.
When Xu Shiyou was 8 years old, he met a Shaolin monk who was traveling, and followed him back to Shaolin Temple to work as a handyman and learn martial arts.
After several years of hard training, he defeated Lu Benshen, the elder brother of Rongguo who won three consecutive championships and was nicknamed "Lu Zhishen". Later, when he joined the ranks of the Red Army, many people called him "Monk Xu". And he is also quite confident in his martial arts, and he thinks that he is the second in martial arts, and no one dares to call him the first.
Therefore, I heard that there is a strong martial artist in the Red Army, He Ziyou, the successor of the Wudang faction, Xu Shiyou has long wanted to meet her for a while and have a competition.
Unexpectedly, He Ziyou, who seemed dignified and beautiful, blocked his moves one after another.
Xu Shiyou was ruthless, and He Ziyou overcame rigidity with softness, and the two fought equally, and no one was courting anyone under anyone's hands.
After having a good time, Xu Shiyou finally stopped the offensive and punched He Ziyou: "Bow to the wind!" Iron Fist lives up to its name! He Ziyou grinned: "Accept, accept!" ”
Since then, two warriors with martial arts skills and similar experiences have become friends who cherish each other.
As long as there is an opportunity, Xu Shiyou will bring a pot of wine and pull He Ziyou to talk all night. Every time, Xu Shiyou has to sigh that He Ziyou doesn't let his women shave his eyebrows, and even the amount of alcohol is not inferior to his manhood.
The competition and drinking allowed the two to establish a deep revolutionary friendship. Later, after He Ziyou married Zhou Zikun, who was 12 years older than her, Xu Shiyou patted the groom on the shoulder on the wedding night and joked: "You are still powerful, not afraid of death!" ”
Zhou Zikun was curious: "Why do you say that?" Xu Shiyou laughed: "You dare to marry He Ziyou, how dare any of our four front armies?" I'm afraid of her iron fist! ”
He Ziyou once single-handedly challenged the leader of the bandits and punched the horse bandit cavalry, and he has long had the title of "He Iron Fist of the Red Army". She was a bear-off, but she had a pretty face. But everyone didn't dare to marry her because they were afraid of her iron fist.
In the face of Xu Shiyou's ridicule, He Ziyou was not angry when he heard it, but let out a hearty laugh.
Although her martial arts make men daunted, she never regrets learning martial arts. Her martial arts made enemies frightened when they heard her name, not to mention, if she hadn't learned martial arts as a child, she might not have been able to grow up smoothly.
He Ziyou was born in a poor family and was born thin and sickly. Father He wanted her to have something to eat, and in order to keep her healthy, he sent her to the martial arts hall in the county town as a handyman.
Surprisingly, He Ziyou has a talent for learning martial arts. She was favored by the most famous Wudang master in the house, accepted her as a disciple, and taught her martial arts. He Ziyou did not live up to his master's expectations, he was diligent and studious, insisted on hard training, and became the leader of his peers.
Later, He Ziyou joined the Red Army, used superb martial arts to beat the bandits to their knees and admit their mistakes, and also knocked down the horse of a cavalry with his bare hands, so that the other enemies were so frightened that they fled.
Therefore, she was strong in martial arts, and was soon promoted to the chief martial arts instructor and reconnaissance platoon leader of the Women's Independent Regiment of the Red Fourth Front Army. Under her leadership and training, many female soldiers increased their close-quarters force, making the enemy fearful.
But in the end, such a powerful existence made many warriors fearful, and although she was beautiful, they still did not dare to pursue her. Until He Ziyou met Zhou Zikun, the two heroes knew each other and fell in love with each other and tied the knot in the autumn of 1937. On the day of the wedding, more than 20 leaders and military and political chiefs attended the wedding.
Because both of their husbands and wives have the word "son" in their names, their comrades-in-arms call them "Gemini constellations". After marriage, He Ziyou lived a very happy married life, although in the face of the enemy, she was fierce and fearless, but in the face of her husband, she turned into a finger twister, followed her husband to learn to sing, and participated in the revision of the lyrics of the "New Fourth Army Military Song".
But the time of happiness was too short, in 1941, Zhou Zikun was killed by the traitor Liu Houzong in the Southern Anhui Incident, and he was only 40 years old.
He Ziyou was pregnant again at that time, and she endured her grief and gave birth to her posthumous son Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin also has an older sister on his head, and the orphans and widows can only hug each other to comfort the pain of losing Zhou Zikun.
After the liberation, He Ziyou became a staff member of the East China Military Region in Shanghai and took over the work of the food factory.
Because she managed well, and defeated the spies with evil intentions, she became a well-known "female factory director of the Red Army". Later, she successively took over the Shanghai Battery Factory and other companies, and served as the representative of the Military Management Committee of the East China Military Region.
She has been doing her part for the construction of New China all her life.
Not only that, but she also taught her children to be dedicated, and often transmitted revolutionary ideas to them.
Her daughter likes literary and artistic activities and once wanted to go to art school. But He Ziyou thought that during the fighting years, many comrades-in-arms unfortunately died due to the lack of medical resources. He Ziyou dissuaded his children and asked them to go to the military medical school to contribute to the army.
In the end, the children were grateful for their parents' dedication and understood their parents' long-cherished wishes and expectations, so they heeded her persuasion and threw themselves into the profession of military doctors.
In those years of military merit, He Ziyou won many military merits, and was successively awarded the Order of August 1st of the Third Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the Third Class, the Liberation Medal of the Third Class, and the Meritorious Medal of the Red Star of the Second Class.
When she retired, the party organization gave her the rank of deputy soldier.
But He Ziyou never privately seeks special treatment for his children. When her daughter retired, she was treated as a teacher, and her son Zhou Lin was a regiment-level cadre.
