I. The "Romance of the Battlefield" by the Red Army Couple
In October 1936, the Red Army and the Red Fourth Front met in northern Shaanxi, and organizationally "merged" Dai Fujiu and Peng Yun into one.
On the one hand, Dai Fujiu of the Army and Peng Yun of the Fourth Front, one is a Jiangxi and the other is a Sichuan, how did they get along?
In the words of Dai Fujiu, it is pure providence. One day after the Red Army met the division, Dai Fujiu accidentally saw a female soldier crouching in the corner, looking a little distressed. He looked closer, and there were drops of blood oozing out of the corners of her pants.

"Are you injured?" Shall I bandage you? Dai Fujiu pointed to the female soldier's leg, full of concern and respect. As Snow "heard or saw, the Red Army treated rural women and girls with respect".
"No!" She shook her head and avoided the male soldier, her face flushed with shame, and her head was pressed very low. She stood up and tried to dodge, but suddenly accidentally fell, Dai Fujiu lifted her up and handed her a handkerchief...
Dai Fujiu, a young man born in 1915 in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, joined the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in 1930, although he was more than 20 years old, he had served as the chief of the Red First Army Security Bureau and the special instructor of the Central Teaching Instructor of the Red Army University, but he had never talked about his girlfriend and did not understand the "little secrets" of female soldiers.
A few days later, the "Red Lady" took Dai Fujiu to a "blind date", and the person he met was actually the "wounded" female soldier he wanted to help, her name was Peng Yun. The white handkerchief that Dai Fujiu sent out was quickly turned into Peng Yun's "red hijab"...
One day, Chairman Mao met Dai Fujiu and asked about his family situation, and he reported to the chairman that he was married and that his wife was also a Soldier of the Red Army.
When Chairman Mao learned that his former defense cadres had started a family, he said happily: If a man should marry a big man and a woman should marry, you are also a pair of revolutionary partners! I bless you!
Revolutionary partners always accompanied the revolutionary war life, Dai Fujiu and Peng Yun successively participated in a series of battles such as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and they only "settled" in Chongqing in 1949. But then a piece of order separated them from each other. Dai Fujiu went to work on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau alone, and Peng Yun stayed in the mountain city of Chongqing with 4 children. However, if the two loves are long-lasting, they will be in the twilight of the dynasty.
The author very much wants to dig up the Red Army's "battlefield romance", however, Peng Yun said that there is no romantic song in the battlefield, only difficult and dangerous songs.
Peng Yun had been in the snowy mountain meadows three times. She remembered the time she wade through 72 rivers in one day and one night, and like many male and female soldiers, she arched her head in the snow, put her hands into the snow, and climbed up little by little. Hair, eyebrows, bangs, hat brim hung with snowflakes, snowflakes were breathed out of the heat into water vapor, water vapor became ice, "ice beauty" kept scratching the snow, nails were shaved off, fingers scratched rotten, blood stained red snow...
Peng Yun dragged the "tail" of the team and fell down, at this time one rode a horse
The old man on the jujube red horse stopped and gave it to the little female soldier: Come, ride and go!
Peng Yun turned his head to see that it was Mr. Zhu, who was both touched and a little nervous. Mr. Zhu's strong sense of hometown voice and care and care have suddenly narrowed the distance between officers and men. When he learned that Peng Yun was a native of Dabashan, Sichuan, he asked, "Little fellow, are you hungry?" Do you want to go home?"
However, Peng Yun replied to Mr. Zhu with a line of tears. Mr. Zhu seemed to be touched by something, silent, and stared at the little female soldier with guilty eyes.
Peng Yun missed home, but she had no home. Her home was seized by landlords, and she became a child bride at the age of 7. She was not as high as the pot, so she had to step on the stone to cook. Later her father was tortured to death by the landlord...
In 1932, the 13-year-old skinny and yellow "little bit" Peng Yun asked to become a Red Army, but was rejected. She threw herself on her knees and fell to the ground, "crying a handful of noses, tears", and finally Peng Yun "squeezed" into the ranks of the Red Army, and also squeezed into the arduous journey. In the battle to capture the Luding Bridge, at that time, the bridge plate was still burning, even the iron cable was burning red, she rushed through the rain of bullets and bullets, and there were still scars left by the red iron cable on her legs and feet...
Fortunately, the Red Army's Long March was victorious, Peng Yun met his revolutionary partner, and he also had the best waiting in his life.
Second, the plain and plain shows a strong feeling like the sea
One summer, the author went to Chongqing to interview, when the "furnace city" spewed fire and spit flames, the temperature for several consecutive days exploded to 40 degrees or even 42 degrees, "no fever".
Strange heat out of the spectacle. In the Red Army Courtyard of the Pengjia Garden Dry Rest House in Chongqing, a male Red Army soldier "cooled" in the pool of his home - a "summer resort" created by himself. Once the water is cut off, the pool becomes a self-"emergency center".
And a white-haired old lady, with the poisonous and spicy sun above her head, bent over the cabbage, loofah and sweet potato seedlings in the "Responsibility Field" of the courtyard and poured water one scoop after another.
Every time she poured a scoop, the smoking ground rose up with a puff of smoke-gray steam. pour
With the pouring, the old lady herself was "wet" - heat stroke fell...
This "peasant woman" is the female Red Army soldier Peng Yun, who is more than ancient, and the male Red Army in the "summer resort" is Dai Fujiu, who is old. They were a Red Army couple.
Walking into the courtyard of Peng Yun's family, the author seems to have walked into an "urban village": a cabbage, bright and bright "laughing" in the soil; Loofahs, verdant "dancing" in mid-air; Bunches of corn, golden "standing" under the eaves...
It was a unique landscape forged by the Red Army couple with sweat, rooted in their spiritual world. The heart will go with love. His legs and feet are not good, she gives him a "crutch", he has bad eyesight, she gives him as an "eye", and she foams at each other.
Peng Yun said that the old man coaxed her to work all day, and she was willing to be coaxed to be happy. Once, the old man said to her, you are a "model worker", I am a "master of writing", I will write a poem for you!
He read the poem to the old lady: If I am old, / Do you still love me? / Love! / My teeth are gone? /I kiss your gums! ......
Did you write it? No, it was written by my girlfriend. Who is she and how do I not know? You also know that she is a famous female writer Zhang Xiaofeng...
That's what they are, two elderly people making childlike jokes. Joy chases after joy, laughter collides laughter. Laughter is eternal, humor is never old.
More than 20 years ago, when the author interviewed them at their home, Zhang Weimin and Ye Youxiang, comrades-in-arms of the 37th Branch of the People's Liberation Army in Chongqing, invited me to the restaurant for a "light meal." At this time, Peng Yun and Dai Fujiu also left me for a light meal at their house. I relied on two old Reds.
Peng Yun and Dai Fujiu and I gathered around a small round table, eating egg noodles, and eating the fried peppers they collected from the "Responsibility Field", and we also ate warmly. The long noodles fulfilled my advice and tied me to the hearts of the two old Red Armymen.
Dai Fujiu, who ate first, wiped his mouth while making a grimace, "attacking" his wife who finished eating last: "Eating is not active, there is a problem with thinking."
Peng Yun "fought back" at him: "The old watch in Jiangxi, the Sichuan sister of our four-front army, mistakenly boarded their thief ship." Peng Yunnu kept his mouth shut, pretending to be deceived.
"On the one hand, most of our troops have been redwashed by Sichuan girls." Dai Fujiu, an 80-year-old old Red Army soldier at the time, did not say anything, and smiled first.
At the age of 77, Peng Yun, still feeling that his words were still not finished, fought with Dai Fujiu again: he was Lin Biao's "dog leg"; Dai Fujiu looked directly at Peng Yun: she was Zhang Guotao's "minions" ...
The two elderly people played childlike jokes, chasing joys, laughing and laughing. Laughter is eternal, humor is never old.
If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have been able to create such a good situation. Suddenly, I read such a thickness from the two old Red Army soldiers - life is more moving than art!
Third, extend the great love of the world that moves the heavens and the earth
20 years ago, Peng Yun and Dai Fujiu's home did not have a single piece of luxurious furniture, not even a refrigerator or a washing machine. The author saw that on the old tea table in his living room, there were two teapots with paint off, and a yellowed "Xinhua Dictionary" with the signatures of Dai Fujiu and Peng Yun and the date of purchase: April 14, 1954. It is the "school" of the old two, and it is also the eternal spirit of the Red Army.
The only luxurious, modern one in their home was a 20-inch domestic color TV, which was "donated" by the All-China Women's Federation. In 1990, Peng Yun and Dai Fujiu were awarded the honorary title of "The First Golden Wedding Couple in China", and Chen Muhua, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and chairman of the All-China Women's Federation, personally presented them with bonuses and prizes. After returning to Chongqing, they used the bonus to buy a 20-inch domestic color TV...
However, they save money and use money, but they compose the great love of the world. In the spring of 1980, Peng Yun and Dai Fujiu went to visit their relatives in their hometown in Bazhong, Sichuan, an old revolutionary area, and learned that Xiao Yanju, a baby who had just been born for only a few months next door, was bedridden due to the death of her mother, her father was sick and bedridden, her family was extremely poor, and she lived by the neighbors of the countryside, and the baby was hungry all day long, and her life was hanging in the balance, and she immediately discussed and decided to raise Xiao Yanju voluntarily.
Although the Red Army couple did not live a wealthy life, did not pay much for rest, and had to raise their 5 children, they still cut back on food and clothing, squeezed money out of between their teeth to fund her by reducing the number of times they bought meat, and cared for her with affection that transcended blood relations.
All the tuition fees from her primary, junior high school, and high school were all "contracted" by the Red Army couple. Every year when she was on vacation, Peng Yun took her to live in her own home at the Peng Family Garden Rest House in Chongqing, bought her a new dress, and took her to the zoo, to the Children's Palace, to the science popularization center, so that she could learn knowledge, long insight, and broaden her horizons...
In the past 18 years, the Red Army couple has funded Yan Ju's family with tens of thousands of yuan. Yan Ju did not pass the college entrance examination after graduating from middle school, and according to her wishes and her father's opinion, they looked around for a door and a way to contact Yan Ju to work in a joint venture.
At the same time, the Red Army couple tried their best to help her father seek medical treatment and cure the disease, so that his condition had gradually improved, and he could do some small business and farm work in the field...
A branch and a leaf are always concerned. After retiring, Dai Fujiu and Peng Yun enjoyed the treatment of deputy military level and the treatment of the main division respectively, but the two elderly people still retained the true color of the old Red Army, enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, and successively donated hundreds of thousands of yuan to the Hope Project, the repair of bridges in their hometowns and the rescue of out-of-school children.
A pair of revolutionary partners is like this, living a life of plain and simple, loving and loving for 70 years. In 2007, Dai Fujiu died at the age of 93 due to ineffective medical treatment. Peng Yun is 103 years old and alive. Wish Elder Peng a long and healthy life!
