In 1944, in the golden autumn, 15-year-old Dong Cunrui married Lu Changling, a girl from a neighboring village, and the two were young plum bamboo horses, although they lived poorly, they also loved each other.
However, in the chaotic world, children who are qualified to talk about their children's love, Dong Cunrui has been the leader of the children's regiment since childhood, and when he grew up, he joined the eighth route army, and within a few days of his new marriage, Dong Cunrui will embark on the road of conquest for the country.
Lu Changling tearfully bid farewell to her husband, and she was naturally reluctant in her heart, but she understood that her husband was for the sake of the country, so she fully supported her husband's actions and silently waited for him to return. But Dong Cunrui's going is to say goodbye forever. On May 25, 1948, in order to blow up the enemy's bunker, Dong Cunrui died heroically, and when he died, this heroic soldier was only 19 years old.
His life should have been wonderful, but for the liberation of the motherland and the people, he did not hesitate to choose a path full of blood and sacrifice, and fell on the eve of dawn. The news of Dong Cunrui's sacrifice spread back to his hometown, and the family could not believe it, dong Cunrui's mother passed out as soon as she heard the bad news, and everyone cried and made a mess.
Lu Changling, who was in her early twenties, became a widow, her heart was like a knife, and it was always difficult to accept Dong Cunrui's sacrifice, so how could a good person become a corpse on the battlefield? But Lu Changling had to force himself to be strong, Dong Cunrui's parents were old, and his health was not good. Sister Cunmei and younger brother Cunjin were still children at the time, and the family could only rely on Lu Changling to support themselves.
Lu Changling wiped away her tears, while comforting her in-laws and mother-in-law, while raising Dong Cunrui's younger sister, but how could her heart not be painful? She also wanted to cry bitterly, and went with Dong Cunrui, but she also thought that if she fell, wouldn't this family be even more desperate? Even if he sacrificed Dong Cunrui for the sake of it, he still had to carry it!
In this way, two years passed, and in 1950, a guest came to Dong Cunrui's hometown, and this guest was General Chen Renqi, who served as the political commissar of Dong Cunrui's troops. Since Dong Cunrui's sacrifice, Chen Renqi has always remembered this matter in his heart, sent people everywhere to search for Dong Cunrui's family, and learned that Lu Changling and others were still living in their hometown, and General Chen Renqi immediately took the time to personally rush over.
Seeing such a "big man", Lu Changling was somewhat restrained, but After General Chen Renqi entered the door, he was very kind, and while talking with everyone, he stuffed them with an envelope, which was a donation from the troops, and General Chen Renqi also helped the Dong family apply for a martyrs' subsidy, and this time he came to see if the Dong family had any difficulties to solve.
Looking at General Chen Renqi's kind face, Lu Changling's eyes suddenly turned red, and he didn't expect that the country had always remembered Dong Cunrui, and had just established the country, so he came to take care of them. Chen Renqi comforted Lu Changling and asked her if she had any problems that needed to be solved. Lu Changling did not ask for anything for himself, but only told Chen Renqi that Dong Cunrui's sister Dong Cunmei could see that she could go to school, but there was no school in the village, and she wanted to go to the county, and there was no such condition, and she wanted General Chen Renqi to help so that Dong Cunmei could have a place to go to school.
Upon hearing that Dong Cunrui's sister was worried about going to school, General Chen Renqi immediately assured that this matter would be resolved immediately, and Lu Changling even thanked him. Subsequently, Chen Renqi met Dong Cunmei and Dong Cunjin's two children and encouraged them to study hard, and if there was any difficulty, the state would try its best to help. The two children took the general's instructions to heart, and when they grew up, they both became model workers, and they always supported the Hope Project in their hometown, living up to the expectations of their relatives and the country.
Dong Cunmei later married and had children, her son Ai Dong is a policeman of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, has always adhered to the principle of serving the people, once rong li three times personal third class merit, but regrettably Ai Dong in 2020 sudden acute cerebral hemorrhage, sacrificed in the workplace, and then the Ministry of Public Security posthumously awarded Ai Dong as a second-class hero model.
What is even more lamentable is the life story of Lu Changling, a gentle and considerate wife and a filial daughter-in-law. She and Dong Cunrui are a very good match for a couple, but it is a pity that Dong Cunrui died early, and the two could not live together for life. Before Dong Cunrui left, he had told Lu Changling that if he was unfortunate enough to die, he might as well remarry. But Lu Changling resolutely refused, she had to wait for Dong Cunrui to return, she believed that he would come back.
But the opposite happened, after the grief, Dong Cunrui's mother thought about going and decided to persuade her daughter-in-law to remarry, Lu Changling is a rare good girl, the second elder of the Dong family has long regarded her as his own biological daughter, does not want to watch her delay a lifetime, although very reluctant, but for Lu Changling's life plan, Dong Cunrui's mother still opened this mouth.
Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Lu Changling cried and said, "Mother, I have remarried, who will take care of this family?" Don't bring it up again! The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried with headaches, and Dong Cunrui's mother knew that Lu Changling could not rest assured of herself, but she could not delay her life, so Dong Cunrui's mother asked General Chen Renqi to persuade Lu Changling instead of herself.
General Chen Renqi knew the reason, moved with affection, advised Lu Changling to look forward, and said that even if she got married, the Dong family was still half of her mother's family, and besides, the state naturally had to take care of Dong Cunrui's relatives, and she could also boldly pursue her own happiness. Hearing the general say this, Lu Changling promised that if there was a suitable person in the future, he would be willing to try it himself.
Seeing that Lu Changling opened his heart knot, the second elder of the Dong family was very happy, began to find a suitable object for her, and finally found a good young man, this young man is Lu Changling's colleague in the factory, people are very kind, Very good for Lu Changling, under the mediation of everyone, the two people are paired.
On the day lu Changling got married, the second elder of the Dong family sent her out of the door as if she were married to a daughter, Lu Changling lived a period of stability and happiness, and also came back to visit the Dong family from time to time, still taking care of their lives, and later Lu Changling became pregnant again and gave birth to a beautiful daughter.
But fate refused to let go of this woman who suffered a lot, when giving birth, Lu Changling had a difficult birth, although the child was born, but Lu Changling's blood collapsed, the child was not yet a hundred days old, Lu Changling died because of postpartum sequelae, everyone looked forward to the kind and gentle Lu Changling can have a happy home, there is a perfect ending, but the ending is such a sigh.
Time has passed, people still remember Dong Cunrui's name, the hero and the hero's family are worthy of admiration, and the motherland and people will not forget.
