This photo was taken in the 50s of the last century, and the photo records the warm moments of General Su Yu and his mother Liang Wanying.
In the picture, Su Yu is dressed in a classic black tunic, wearing a top hat, standing humbly behind his mother, and the love and respect for his mother are beyond words. In his eyes, there is not only attachment to his mother, but also self-blame and guilt as a son, because of the needs of the revolution, he has not been able to return to his hometown for 23 years, and he has not been able to serve his father and die with filial piety. This regret turned into deep affection and expectation in 1949 when he learned that his mother was still alive and urgently invited her to Nanjing for reunion.
The old man Liang Wanying, although he is over the age of antiquity, is holding a cane, wearing a warm cotton jacket, a warm scarf around his neck, and his eyes reveal undiminished vitality and tenacity. Her face is strikingly similar to General Su Yu, especially those deep eyes, which seem to be the imprint of the emotional inheritance between mother and son, witnessing the tenacity and unyielding in the family bloodline. In her, we see the ordinariness and greatness of an ordinary rural woman, she taught Su Yu with her words and deeds, endowed Su Yu with a low-key, humble character, and taught him a lot of simple life wisdom in the bits and pieces of life, these seemingly insignificant skills, but become the precious wealth of Su Yu's life.
In the photo, Su Yu's three children, Su Rongsheng, Su Hansheng and Su Huining, surround him, full of family warmth and happiness. At the edge of the photo, Su Yu's sister Su Cuiyun stands quietly, her presence adds a bit of family affection to this picture, and people can't help but imagine more stories and warmth behind this family.
General Su Yu's life is a life of revolution, he left home to join the revolution in his early years, he practiced his loyalty to the country and the nation with his own actions, but behind this loyalty, is a deep longing and guilt for his family and parents. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he finally had the opportunity to make up for this regret and take care of his mother by his side, so that the elderly could enjoy the joy of family life. Faced with the transition from the countryside to the city, Liang Wanying felt a little uncomfortable at first, but Su Yu and his wife Chu Qing's meticulous care made her life full of color and warmth, and she no longer felt lonely and bored. The power of this kind of family affection not only made the old man Liang Wanying happy in his old age, but also became the spiritual pillar of General Su Yu's continuous progress in the revolutionary cause.
Although the old man Liang Wanying is an ordinary rural woman, her life is so extraordinary. In her own way, she supported her son's revolutionary cause, and used her tenacity and kindness to influence Su Yu's life. It is often said that if there is a mother, the son will be extraordinary. The old man Liang Wanying is undoubtedly happy, because she raised an outstanding son who is wise and brave, and benevolent; And she herself has lived a long life, dying in her eighties, which is undoubtedly the best reward of fate for her kindness and tenacity.
In this photo, we not only see the fortitude and tenacity of General Su Yu as a revolutionary general, but also the deep affection and dependence of a son on his mother. In the revolutionary years, there were countless families like General Su Yu, who resolutely gave up the warmth and tranquility of their small family for the sake of national independence and rise.
Every member of these families is well aware that their own destiny is closely linked to the destiny of the country, and they have devoted themselves to the arduous revolutionary struggle with enthusiasm and firm conviction regardless of their personal gains and losses, without fear of the test of life and death. They either rushed to the front and killed the enemy bravely; or go behind enemy lines and carry out underground work; Or silently dedicate themselves to the rear and support the front. It was the sacrifice and dedication of these families that gathered into a majestic force to push history forward, and finally ushered in the independence and liberation of the nation.
