On June 9, 1969, He Long died at Beijing 301 Hospital.
Xue Ming and his son and daughter stood next to He Long's body, watching their relatives covered by white sheets reveal their gray hair......... Tears fell like rain.
After retiring from his leadership position, Xue Ming lived with his eldest daughter He Xiaoming at home in Beixinqiao.
Seeing that his son and daughter were all out of the ordinary, Xue Ming was sincerely happy and happy.
Because it is possible to comfort the spirit of her husband He Long in heaven.
Unexpectedly, in 2001, Xue Ming and He Long's only son, He Pengfei, died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 55.
On August 1, 1942, Xue Ming and He Long were married in Yan'an.
In 1946, Xue Ming and He Long's first child, his son He Pengfei, was born.
At that time, He Long was fighting on the front line, and how happy he was to learn that his son was born.
Although he is a son, He Long is very loving, but the requirements are also particularly strict, and he has cultivated his son as a man since he was a child.
When He Pengfei graduated from high school, he wanted to go to Tsinghua University, but because the difference of three points was not online, he told his father that he hoped that he would come forward to "take care" of it.
Unexpectedly, He Long said:
Either repeat the exam for a year and take the exam next year. Or go to another school. Let me pull the relationship, impossible.
He Pengfei re-studied for a year and was finally admitted to Tsinghua University as he wished.
In 1992, after He Pengfei became the deputy commander of the Navy, he invited several old mothers of the army to spend the "August 1st" Founding Day at the Qinhuangdao Naval Base.
Like Luo Ronghuan's wife Lin Yueqin, Luo Ruiqing's wife Hao Zhiping, Wang Zhen's wife Wang Jiqing, He Long's wife Xue Ming...
Until 2001, every year.
Unexpectedly, in March 2001, He Pengfei left without warning.
On the night of He Pengfei's death, Xue Ming has been with his son, seeing the doctor to try his best to rescue, hoping for a miracle...
Watching his son's vivid life come to an end in a hurry at that moment, Xue Ming couldn't accept this cruel fact.
The death of her husband 32 years ago has exhausted her heart, and now her only son is gone...
At that moment, Xue Ming felt that his heart was once again crushed by the pain of losing his son!
Although grief weighed like a boulder on his chest, the 85-year-old Xue Ming did not cry, perhaps drying up when her husband died.
Xue Ming handled his son's aftermath, that calm and composure, let his daughter He Liming, He Xiaoming very worried.
Until the last link: when bidding farewell to He Pengfei's body, relatives were worried about Xue Ming's body and hoped that she would not participate.
Unexpectedly, Xue Ming resolutely disagreed:
I'm going. If you don't let me go, I'll get sick.
When Xue Ming, who was in a wheelchair, came to the body of his son He Pengfei, his breathing began to be rapid, his eyes were red, and his heart was dripping blood. However, she tried to restrain herself and soon calmed down.
Xue Ming stretched out a trembling hand to caress his son's familiar cold cheek at this time, and the old tears flowed:
Son, we've all come to send you... You go first. Your children are all right, rest assured... Good bye.
