There are always some memories that cannot be erased, and there are always some memories that are still in the mind.
One day in 1916, Wang Xiaoni'er (pseudonym) was born in a small mountain village in Hebei Province, from a young age, her family was very poor, she could not afford to go to school, she did not study for a day, she had been doing farm work at home, she married to a neighboring village at the age of 17, her husband was three years younger than him, maybe you would say that she got married so early, almost like that at that time, people generally got married early!
On September 18, 1931, the Japanese army attacked Shenyang, the September 18 Incident broke out, and on January 26, 1932, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai. The Songhu War of Resistance Broke Out, the first all-round confrontation and contest between the Chinese and Japanese armies, and 5 years later, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in an all-round way, and the people of the whole country at that time hated the aggressive acts of the Japanese army to the bone and gritted their teeth!
It was in this context that his husband Guo Jichang (pseudonym) joined a local anti-Japanese squad shortly after his new marriage, and although he was young, he was particularly witty and brave! He has been praised by the captain many times, and his newlywed wife is also strongly supportive.
However, it did not take long for the superior department to decide to let Guo Jichang go to the Sichuan area to join the Red Army, after he and his newlywed wife consulted, the two embraced each other, painfully separated, because this time separated, I don't know if we can get together again, but he also knows that the Japanese army has been marching everywhere, bent on taking China, so more people need to stand up! Fighting bravely to kill the enemy, he resigned his newlywed wife and decided to resist Japan and defend his family and defend the country!
Once, dozens of them encountered the enemy's siege, had to run to the mountain to temporarily take shelter, waiting for the support of the large troops, did not know that at that time it was cold and frozen, the snow on the mountain was very deep, on the way over the snowy mountain, everyone was frozen and trembling, it was really hungry and cold, and everyone survived by perseverance!
When the large army came, unfortunately, two of his comrades fell at the foot of the snowy mountain due to physical weakness! Leave them forever! Guo Jichang was also almost frozen to death at that time, but thanks to the timely rescue, he was finally spared! But his toes were frozen off 5, 2 on his left foot and 3 on his right foot!
Even so, Guo Jichang still did not give up, because of the injury, was arranged in the logistics, but he repeatedly asked, saying: I am fine, I am fine! I'm going to kill the enemy!
In the next few years of fighting, Guo Jichang still insisted on fighting on the battlefield, and received a lot of honors, until he drove the enemy out of China, and in 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender!
At this time, Guo Jichang had not returned home for a long time, and his parents and wife were still waiting for him to come home, when his wife told me that we all thought he was dead, we didn't expect him to come back, when I saw him, we hugged and cried, hugged each other for a long time...
After liberation, the government arranged a job for him, he gave up, he said I want to return to my hometown, to build a beautiful hometown! I became the village chief in the village, and at that time I was still a production team!
In 1979, once he returned from a meeting in the brigade at night, and when he returned home, he felt unwell and died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, at the age of 60!
After Guo Jichang died, he left only two twin daughters and his wife, and he had several sons before, but none of them survived, and finally gave birth to twin daughters!
At that time, the twin daughters had already established a family, and Wang Xiaoni'er was in good health, her eyes were not flowering, and her ears were not deaf! Just live alone!
These things were told to me personally, and in terms of generations, he was my grandmother! He said, your grandfather, all his life for the country and the people, never consider himself, I hurt him the most, I really can't imagine what kind of environment he was in the snowy mountains at that time, when he left, the Japanese also came to our village, stationed two forts, the Japanese arranged for the people in the village to send food, chickens and other food, slow delivery, will be beaten by the Japanese, slapped!
Your grandfather went to deliver food to the Japanese, it was a little slow, and the result was that the Japanese slapped him a few times, and when he saw the Japanese, he had to bow, and then said: Taijun is good! Otherwise it will beat you!
Guo Jichang's life is bowed to exhaustion, in his dictionary has never regretted two words, Wang Ernier is also the hero behind, supporting her husband to fight, silently paying! The government also awarded him the medal of military martyrdom!
For a long time, I often went to see this old man and chatted with her, and in the process of her conversation, I was often moved, and now whenever I remember it, it is tears wetting the corners of my eyes!
On the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2019, this kind old man left us forever! He died on December 31, 2012 at the age of 104! At that time, I also went! The old man's departure made me sad for a long time, because she still had a lot to say to me...
