"I now officially declare to you my eternal and faithful love for you." —Márquez, "Love in the Time of Cholera"
In Tianjin in 1938, it was a three-volt day, the most dry and hot time, even at night, everyone was thinking of ways to escape the heat, shaking fans everywhere.
However, a small building called the Garden of Eden in the British Concession of Tianjin closed its windows, and even covered the room with a curtain, covering the room tightly, and outsiders had no idea what was going on inside.
The tenants of this small building are a husband and wife, the husband is named Wu Houhe, and the wife is called Huang Hui. In this dark and stuffy house, the husband is tinkering with a radio while the wife is recording something next to it.
In fact, the couple was sent by the Chinese Communist Party to build a secret radio station here, and in order to cover their identities and facilitate their work, they arranged to pretend to be husband and wife through organization, and the husband's real name was Called Wang Shiguang, and the wife's real name was Wang Xin.

Wang Shiguang, whose original name was Wang Guangjie, was born in Beijing in 1915, but his ancestral home is Tianjin. His father had served in the Beiyang government, and his mother was also a rich merchant family, and his parents were very self-motivated and had national integrity, so Wang Shiguang was born famous.
Wang Shiguang was the fourth eldest in his family, he also had ten brothers and sisters, and more than half of their eleven children participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, and they all made great achievements in various fields.
Wang Shiguang has been brilliant since he was a child and loves learning very much, and he is particularly fond of radio. He often saved his pocket money to buy radio-related things, rather than splurge on something to eat, drink and have fun.
Wang Shiguang's parents also never interfered with Wang Shiguang's love for radio, but on the contrary, there will be some support. Such enlightened parents are also one of the conditions for Wang Shiguang to be able to achieve something in the radio industry.
In 1934, after studying in the Department of Physics of Peking University for a year, Wang Shiguang felt more interested in motors, so in 1935 he entered tsinghua university to study electrical engineering.
At the end of 1935, Wang Shiguang also participated in the "12.9 Anti-Japanese Salvation Movement", which was reflected in the national integrity influenced by his parents, and then during his studies at Tsinghua University, he applied to join the Chinese National Liberation Vanguard.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, and the fall of Beiping forced Tsinghua University to relocate.
However, Wang Shiguang was not in the ranks, and he chose to stay in Beijing to participate in the anti-Japanese movement. He also assembled radios and radios at home to listen to some anti-Japanese broadcasts, and his seventh sister, Wang Guangmei, who was Liu Shaoqi's wife, also assisted him during this time.
Perhaps because of his profound knowledge of radio, yao Yilin, then secretary general of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and director of the Propaganda Department, found Wang Shiguang in 1938. Because the organization wanted to establish a secret radio station in Tianjin, Wang Shiguang was asked to assemble a radio and telegraph machine.
The location of the secret radio station was chosen in the British Concession of Tianjin, where the British telegraph signal was used as a cover to better allow Wang Shiguang to carry out his work.
However, at that time, Wang Shiguang was still a "three noes" element, that is, he was not married, had no object, and had no goal. A single man going to rent a house may arouse suspicion, so the organization helped Wang Shiguang find a young woman to pretend to be a couple with him to assist in the work, this young woman is Wang Xin, and then there is the opening scene.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > an eternal radio wave</h1>
It was in this hut that the two began the preparation of a secret radio station. Wang Shiguang openly found a job in an electrical material shop, which also facilitated his purchase of materials for assembling telegraph machines, while Wang Xin was at home, ostensibly performing housework, but actually working for safety. Outsiders seem to be the typical family of "male outside, female inside".
Whenever Wang Shiguang came home from work, he would always see his "wife" Wang Xin jumping rope on the balcony, which was a signal that his home was safe.
When the house closed the lights and went to sleep at night, Wang Shiguang closed the doors and windows to cover the inside, turned off the lights, took out the telegraph machine he assembled and began to receive telegrams, Wang Shiguang also wrapped the radio with flannel to prevent a loud noise, and "wife" Wang Xin recorded the content on the side.
Wang Shiguang is one of the protagonist prototypes in the movie "The Eternal Radio Wave", how many nights, no matter the heat and winter, he will not stop sending telegrams, which confirms the sentence "Three hundred and sixty days a year, mostly horizontal and immediate." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > faked, and only one person was loyal</h1>
In the days of the British Concession in Tianjin, the two lived together every day like a normal couple. Although it is only a disguise of organizational arrangement, some subtle emotions are born in the hearts of the two people.
When Wang Shiguang was ill, Wang Xin was considerate and thoughtful, brought him water and medicine, and took good care of Wang Shiguang, showing full concern. Wang Shiguang was also full of emotions in his heart, and his good feelings for Wang Xin could not stop increasing.
In the book "Walking on the Blade", it is said that once Wang Xin couldn't help but ask Wang Shiguang, "What happened to your three nothings?" Why don't you answer me? ”
Wang Shiguang boldly admitted, I have you! The film between the two was finally punctured. So in December 1938, two young people with lofty ideals who accompanied them day and night were officially married after being approved by the organization.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, only two years of marriage, the two were separated because they had to move with the troops, and they lost contact with each other, and this difference was seven years.
In the past seven years, Wang Shiguang has also entrusted people to find his wife many times, hoping to be able to contact his wife, but unfortunately, the news that came was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Wang Xin was sacrificed.
Perhaps turning grief and indignation into motivation, Wang Shiguang then threw himself into his work and devoted all his energy to the radio industry of the motherland. Even if there are regulations in the organization that the husband and wife have not heard from each other for more than three years, they can find another partner, and the organization also hopes to let Wang Shiguang have a companion, but Wang Shiguang only misses his wife and refuses to find others.
Wang Shiguang worked wholeheartedly and made indelible contributions to the radio cause of the motherland, and it was for this reason that he was awarded the title of "Meritorious Servant of the People" and received the Special Meritorious Service Medal, and his figure also appeared in the newspaper.
One day someone suddenly found Wang Shiguang in a hurry and said that someone came to you, and the other party said that it was your wife.
Wang Shiguang hurriedly ran outside, and standing outside was the person he missed day and night. The two stood opposite each other, speechless for a long time, and the thoughts of many years could not be expressed in words at this time, and at this time they had been separated for 7 years.
Wang Xin was holding the newspaper with Wang Shiguang on it, and over the years, she had not been thinking about Wang Shiguang, looking for Wang Shiguang, and today she finally relied on this newspaper to reunite her husband and wife.
Have experienced the wind and rain together, but also witness the rainbow together. At work, in difficulties, the two cultivated a love of life and death, the hand of the son will not let go, even if your bad news comes, I am only loyal to you, until the end, I will not give up looking for you. This may be the most simple and loyal love of the last era.
