In 1981, an old man had just retired from the army and could finally come back to see what his hometown looked like in the year of the flower armor. The car sped all the way, the trees on both sides of the road crisscrossed, and the old man looked out the window silently, and his heart became more and more expectant. He hadn't been back to his hometown for more than 10 years and couldn't wait to see what his hometown looked like now.
As soon as the car arrived at the mouth of the village, the old man saw his father and fellow villagers waiting for him at the mouth of the village. Looking at the warm smiling faces of the villagers, the old man was particularly touched in his heart. He immediately ordered someone to stop, and then quickly got out of the car.
Just then, a shout came from the old man's ear. One person in the crowd trembled and shouted, "Zu Bao, Zu Bao." ”
The old man kept probing and looking in the crowd, crying bitterly to find the person who called out his name. After a while, a 70-year-old woman squeezed out of the crowd and walked up to him trembling with the support of her family. After the old man saw the old lady, his eyes immediately turned red. The old man cried and shouted, "Sister Xiu, I'm back!" ”
The two hugged each other tightly, expressing their thoughts for each other.
Han Xianchu
This old man in the age of flower armor is the founding general Han Xianchu, who participated in the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and also participated in the command of the Battle of Hainan Island, making great achievements for the motherland. The Xiu sister in his mouth is like a sister, in the most bitter days of his life, it is Xiu Jie who has been around to take care of him, comfort him, and give him the warmth of his home.

In February 1913, Han Xianchu was born in Hong'an County, Hubei Province. His birth made this already poor family worse, and his parents could not afford to raise so many children, so they had to send their eldest daughter Han Xianming to the Tian family as a child bridesmaid. When Han Xianchu was two years old, his six-year-old brother had a serious illness, and Han Xianchu's parents really did not have the money to take him to see a doctor, so they could only use Tufangzi to treat him, and in the end, Tufangzi did not work, and the disease ruthlessly took his life. After the death of Han Xianchu's eldest brother, his mother also fell ill due to sadness, because she did not have money to treat her mother's illness, and her mother died soon after.
After Han Xianchu's mother died, the family suddenly lost a main bone. His father had no way to take care of the young Han Xianchu, so he had to carry him behind his back to the Tian family. After their father knelt down and pleaded, the Tian family finally agreed to leave Han Xianchu with their sister Han Xianming, but the Tian family made it clear that Han Xianchu would work for the Tian family when he grew up. Han Xianchu's father had no choice but to quickly nod his head and agree to the Tian family's request. In this way, the young Han Xianchu has always followed his sister, and her sister takes care of him like a mother.
Although Han Xianchu was young, in order to please the Tian family, he had been helping the Tian family to do some farm work within his ability since he could remember. However, no matter what he did, the Tian family was always dissatisfied, often giving his sister and him a face, and even insulting him. When he was 8 years old, Han Xianchu once overheard a conversation between the Tian family and his sister, and only then did he learn of his origins.

At this time, he suddenly realized why he was so unpopular, and why the Tian family looked down on his sister so much. His sister had been silently enduring for him, and he was well aware of his sister's pain in the Tian family, but he was powerless to change it, and Han Xianchu, who did not want to drag his sister down any longer, wanted to leave the Tian family.
My sister was very sad when she found out, where can my 8-year-old brother go after he leaves here? So she said patiently, "My sister wants you to accompany me here, and I am quite lonely here alone." You go home and no one plays with you, your father can't take care of you, you want to be a wild monkey, don't you? Han Xianchu had been stubborn since he was a child, watching his sister seek perfection for him and being insulted by the Tian family, he was extremely sad in his heart, so he ignored his sister's persuasion and resolutely left the Tian family and returned to his father's side.
Han Xianchu often did not have enough to eat at home, and sometimes he could not even eat for a day. Once he was so hungry that he could only sit on the field and wait for his father to return. At this moment, Xiu Jie appeared beside him and took out a sweet potato from her arms and handed it to him. Han Xianchu, who was dizzy with hunger, immediately took a big bite of sweet potato and ate it. Xiu Jie knew that The conditions in Han Xianchu's home were particularly difficult, so she would bring some food every day after that.
At that time, Han Xianchu had just left his sister's side, and without his sister, he did not have enough to eat, wear or warm, and he missed his sister every day. At this time, the appearance of Xiu Jie gave him a lot of warmth. Xiu Jie also sewed clothes for him so that he would no longer have to starve and freeze. So from then on, Han Xianchu treated Xiujie as if she were a sister.
In order to help his father relieve some of the pressure of life, Han Xianchu ran to the landlord's house and asked the landlord to let him help herd cattle in exchange for some food. In his spare time, he also learns to weave bamboo baskets. After learning this, he would herd cattle while weaving bamboo baskets, and then take the bamboo baskets to the market to sell when the market was rushed. In this way, with the continuous efforts of him and his father, the conditions in the family slowly improved. When Han Xianchu was 12 years old, his father specially sent him to a private school, but the good times were not long, and soon his father fell ill due to overwork, and Han Xianchu had to return from the private school to shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of his father's family. Later, he went to Wuhan and worked as a short-term worker in a large family.

In November 1927, Han Xianchu, who had returned to his hometown, coincided with the Jute Uprising. Because of the long-term oppression of the landlords, the people in their hometowns have suffered terribly. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, peasants in Huang'an and Macheng counties staged armed uprisings in the local areas against the exploitation of landlords. Han Xianchu, who had long hated the landlord class, immediately joined the peasant association in his hometown and served as a land committee member of the village soviet.
In October 1930, Han Xianchu joined the local guerrilla group in Xiaogan and became a member of the Communist Party. After joining the guerrillas, because of his courage and strategy, he led everyone to win many guerrilla battles. In 1931, because of his outstanding performance, he was appointed as the head of the Independent Regiment and fought guerrilla battles in the areas of Huangpi, Xiaogan and Luoshan. In the course of the Red Army's Long March, the troops led by Han Xianchu repeatedly served as pioneer troops to explore and reconnoiter the way, opening the way and seizing the pass. He covered the retreat of the large troops several times, and led the troops to break through the enemy's encirclement and blockade, successfully helped the large troops reach northern Shaanxi, and achieved the initial goal of the strategic transfer.
The Red 15th Army led by Han Xianchu used the strength of one battalion to contain the strength of five enemy regiments in a battle, and successfully covered Chairman Mao and General Peng. In the Liberation War, Han Xianchu became the leading general in the Northeast Fourth Field Army. In 1950, Han Xianchu took the initiative to ask Miao to launch a campaign to liberate Hainan Island.
At that time, shortly after the founding of New China, European and American countries were vainly trying to split our country, and the reactionaries of the Kuomintang were ready to threaten New China through Hainan Island at any time. The far-sighted Han Xianchu saw that the Kuomintang thieves were not dead, so he took the initiative to apply for the liberation of Hainan Island with troops. In the campaign to liberate Hainan Island, Han Xianchu served as the commander-in-chief of four divisions, and after a long and bloody battle, he finally successfully liberated the entire territory of Hainan Island.
A month later, in order to help Korea launch the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Han Xianchu immediately went to Korea to participate in the command operation, and it can be said that if it were not for his foresight, Hainan Island could not have been successfully liberated so quickly. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he commanded and participated in battles that made the enemy flee into the wilderness, and his achievements were later recorded in the history of the US Army by the United States.
Han Xianchu had experienced countless battles in his life, but none of them were defeated. He was known as the Commander of the Whirlwind, and he fought bravely and strategically. After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Han Xianchu took the initiative to ask Miao to serve as the commander of the Fuzhou Grand Military Region, and he has been guarding the area around Hainan Island in Fujian Province, far away from Taiwan opposite.

In 1981, Han Xianchu, who had been fighting all his life, finally retired from his job. In his life, the one he regrets the most is his sister Han Xianming. Soon after her sister became related to the Tian family, her husband died of illness, and the Tian family sold her to the Wu family. After living in the Wu family for a few years, his sister died of illness, and at this time, Han Xianchu was fighting on the battlefield, and he knew nothing about it, and he always felt that a large part of his sister's miserable life was because of himself.
After retiring this time, back home, he always hoped to see the sister who was like a brother when he was a child, and he didn't want to leave any more regrets. Along the way, Han Xianchu looked at the scenery on the side of the road while recalling his days in his hometown. Now he was finally not busy, and he could finally meet the person he had been worried about for a long time.
After Han Xianchu got out of the car, a "Zu Bao" instantly made his eyes red, and he looked at the white-haired Xiujie in front of him, and the tears could not stop flowing.
Han Xianchu tightly held Sister Xiu's hand and said excitedly, "Sister Xiu, I'm back, are you still in good health?" ”
"Okay, well, how are you?" Xiu Jie said while patting Han Xianchu's body. When she touched Han Xianchu's disabled left hand, Xiu Jie instantly shed tears of pain, and Xiu Jie asked, "Does it hurt, Zu Bao?" Han Xianchu shook his head and smiled, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it's an injury I suffered during a war." ”
Han Xianchu and Xiu Jie went to Xiu Jie's house together, and the two chatted together about interesting things about their childhood. On the occasion of parting, Xiu Jie pulled on his sleeve and cried silently, saying over and over again in her mouth: "You take good care of your body, you have time to come back often, you must come back!" ”
The inseparable scene of the two old men made the people present burst into tears. Sister Xiu brought him a lot of warmth when Han Xianchu was most difficult, and many years later, Sister Xiu also became Han Xianchu's biggest concern in his hometown.
