"Although the mountains and the sea have not sworn an oath, there is no remorse for the blood of the husband, the frost and snow have been endured, and the frank life has been cultivated with high wind and high life; sure enough, the road turns back to the peak, there is Chang Houde who bends from others to himself, the clouds and the sky are far away, and the nine ranks of compassion come to repay the good karma."
A pair of elegy, 56 words, summed up a woman's stormy life.
So what kind of woman can make people write such a link?
What kind of woman, after her death, let everyone mourn so much and not give it to each other?

Song Yulin is an authentic Shanxi girl, born in 1927 in Dazhai Village, Xiyang Town, Shanxi.
It was this special place that gave her a special fate.
Dazhai Village is not an ordinary small village, it is not only the envy of the people of the surrounding seven miles and eight townships, but also a red flag on China's agricultural front.
And these are inseparable from the efforts of one person - "civilian premier" Chen Yonggui.
Chen Yonggui
Mentioning Chen Yonggui in Xiyang, Shanxi, it can be said that no one knows and no one knows.
From the impoverished mountain village to the well-known agricultural model village in the country, from the backward appearance of poor mountains and bad waters to the model of rural agricultural construction and development, under the leadership of Chen Yonggui, the people of Dazhai have relied on themselves and struggled hard, and the entire Dazhai village has been reborn in one fell swoop and has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Orphaned, he is self-reliant and self-reliant, not only changed his own destiny, but also promoted the development of his hometown, in his early 50s, he is already the commune secretary of Xiyang Dazhai Village, and he has also been rated as a model worker in the province, creating an amazing "Dazhai spirit".
Chen Yonggui's reputation Song Yulin has long heard, and the real meeting chen Yonggui is in the county model labor conference, although she is young, but she was rated as a county labor model with that hard work and serious and responsible spirit, at the age of 18, she became the director of women, and she has been working diligently and struggling in her post.
When the women in the village were led to build terraces, they worked for a day, brought lunch with them in the morning, solved it in the field at noon, and took the lead in suffering themselves.
And Chen Yonggui also met and noticed Song Yulin, a loyal and industrious girl at this commendation meeting.
Chen Yonggui was already married, Song Yulin also had his own children, and the fate of the two people seemed to have no intersection at all.
But sometimes fate is always wonderful.
In 1965, Chen Yonggui's first wife, Li Huni, died of illness.
This busy man was suddenly at a loss for words, a big man, life suddenly had no care and busy work made him a little busy, no time to take care of his personal life.
Coincidentally, at this time, 38-year-old Song Yulin was also living alone with his children.
How can people around you bear to look at such a hard-working and excellent person without a caring person to take care of life?
So everyone summed up and carefully selected to find Out Song Yulin.
In this way, the two people who originally had no intersection were put together by everyone.
Chen Yonggui was reluctant at first.
The death of his wife was not a small blow to him, the most important thing was that he was not willing to delay Song Yulin in his heart, he thought that she was still young, she was more than ten years older than other girls, the conditions at home were bitter, and after coming, he was busy and hardworking.
Song Yulin did not directly agree at first, she went to Dazhai to learn more, met and exchanged several times, looked at Chen Yonggui, a person who was dedicated to the sake of the people, there was no one around her, and really deeply touched a piece of softness in her heart, determined to identify this loyal and diligent man.
The young girl did not turn around, she directly told Chen Yonggui that she was not afraid of suffering, and she was not afraid of suffering, and she was happy to be able to suffer for the people.
She also said bluntly that she did not have the ability of Chen Yonggui to benefit the people, but she would definitely take good care of her family, and the elderly and children would be entrusted to her to take care of, and he did not have to worry about these trivial matters, and concentrated on doing a good job in the work assigned by the party.
Such sincere and sincere emotions and noble ideological awareness touched Chen Yonggui.
In this way, the two identified their love affair with each other, came together, and established a new family together.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > support each other and dedicate together</h1>
The life of the two after marriage did not have any vigorous movement, it was very plain and simple.
After marriage, Chen Yonggui was as busy as ever, a mind poured on the work of Dazhai, the family's big and small trifles fell on the shoulders of Song Yulin alone, whether it was laundry and cooking or housework, the usual degree of eating and wearing, the seams of new and old clothes, she did everything well, the management was orderly, and the home was clean and tidy and spotless.
However, No matter how busy Chen Yonggui is, he will also care about the situation at home every three to five minutes, help Song Yulin share the housework, and Song Yulin also cares about Chen Yonggui in his own way, although Chen Yonggui after marriage is busy as always, the whole person seems to be energetic, which makes people can't help but quip that "Old Chen is several years younger after marrying Song Yulin!" ”
The family's life is like this.
Sometimes when the conditions are difficult and there is not much grain at home, Song Yulin will always find ways to prepare some white-noodle food for Chen Yonggui so that he can eat enough, and he will deal with some miscellaneous noodles and vegetables at will.
After her careful thinking was discovered by Chen Yonggui, she did not say anything, but after every meal, Chen Yonggui always pushed back that she could not eat so much, and took a few pieces, leaving most of the bowl for the family.
In this way, the couple cared for each other in different ways, supporting each other and experiencing various ups and downs in life.
In 1969, the two had a son, named Chen Mingliang.
Soon after Chen Mingliang was born, Chen Yonggui was elected as a member of the Central Committee, and his political career went farther and farther.
In 1975, Chen Yonggui went to Beijing to take up the post of vice premier of the State Council, and before leaving, he handed over the burden of the secretary of the Dazhai party branch who was most at ease to Guo Fenglian, a capable and responsible "iron girl", and all the affairs of the family were entrusted to Song Yulin, and he went to Beijing alone to take up his post.
Song Yulin, who became the "vice premier's wife", did not follow him to Beijing to enjoy his happiness.
She still stayed in the local area, with a family to earn work, and did not have any complacency because of this status, still low-key and diligent, doing practical things, taking care of the family, and doing her own responsibilities.
When she has time, she will also help the local nursery to do what she can, accompany the children who have lost their parents, and bring them motherly care.
Separated from the two places, the two gather less and more, Song Yulin's biggest hobby in his leisure time is to listen to the news, learn about Chen Yonggui's latest news from the news, every time she hears the report mentioning Chen Yonggui, she will always stop the work in her hands, carefully afraid of missing a sentence.
In her own way, she interprets the romance that belongs exclusively to the two people.
One is at ease to run around and seek benefits for the people, and the other is at ease to stay at home and do his duty.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a life without regrets and enjoying his old age</h1>
In 1980, Chen Yonggui resigned from the State Council.
At this time, Chen Yonggui is already a 67-year-old man with a flower armor, and he can't rest assured that her husband's Song Yulin, in order to take care of Chen Yonggui's daily diet and living, took the three children of the family to move to Beijing together, separated the two places, and finally reunited with a family that gathered less and more.
After leaving the State Council, Chen Yonggui still did not idle, but asked for a new grassroots work and began a new busyness.
In this regard, Song Yulin did not complain about anything, but silently supported his work, told him to pay attention to his body, and arranged food and living for him at home so that he could work with peace of mind.
Until March 1986, Chen Yonggui died of illness, leaving Song Yulin alone.
Until Chen Yonggui's funeral, many people really met Song Yulin for the first time, although they had heard about her virtuous talents before, but Song Yulin has always been low-key and rarely appears in the limelight, and has been silently supporting her husband's work behind the scenes.
Although Song Yulin and Chen Yonggui have a deep affection, they are not a husband and wife who are separated from chai rice oil and salt, and never quarrel, and once quarreled with Chen Yonggui because of Chen Yonggui's will, Song Yulin quarreled with Chen Yonggui.
At that time, Chen Yonggui had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and after careful planning, the old man took stock of his few assets and decided to hand them all in full as the last party fee.
Until the end of their lives, Chen Yonggui and Song Yulin only accumulated 8300 yuan, of which 3000 yuan was still distributed when they were reformed, and there was almost no other savings.
Song Yulin did not oppose Chen Yonggui's decision to hand it in, but song Yulin was not happy to hand over all the money.
It's not that she is greedy for property, she has been poor all her life, but she can't help but think about her children, she directly ran to question Chen Yonggui, "You handed over all this money, what about the tuition fees for your son's college?" ”
Finally, at the strong request of Song Yulin, Chen Yonggui changed his will and left a part for his son.
In any case, for the public, Song Yulin always supported Chen Yonggui's decision, kept poor and did not covet any enjoyment, in private, she made enough consideration for the family and children, although she hid a selfish heart as a mother, but she had no regrets about herself.
In her later years, Song Yulin still stayed in Beijing, living with her younger son Chen Liangming, and although the organization took care of her life, she insisted on doing her own work on the small things of life, and she said she was very satisfied with everything now.
After a busy and hard life, she finally idled down and began to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of life, looking at the scenery outside the window every day, playing with flowers and plants, feeding fish, and living a peaceful and peaceful life.
She likes to watch the news, watch the changes in the new era, see the development of her hometown and the prosperity of the motherland, she feels sincerely happy, she knows that Chen Yonggui's efforts have not been in vain, and the efforts of their generation have been exchanged for today's happy life.
Whenever she feels the changes in the development of the times and looks at the development and progress of Dazhai bit by bit, she is proud of Chen Yonggui, that hard yellow land is always the softness in her heart, and her heart is always worried about her hometown.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > left the world and was mourned by all</h1>
Until 2014, Chen Yonggui's centenary birthday, Song Yulin specially went back to present flowers to Chen Yonggui, although she is more than old, her legs and feet are inconvenient, but she still came, sitting in a wheelchair staring at The statue of Chen Yonggui, silently recalling the two bit by bit, as if sharing with him, the feelings and experiences over the years, I hope he can also see the happy life of today's new era.
On April 6, 2018, Song Yulin passed away peacefully at the age of 92.
Three days after her death, a funeral was held in Dazhai, and she returned to the land that gave birth to her, the land that made her a lifelong love and difficult to give up.
The funeral ceremony only set up a small spiritual hall in the courtyard, which was simple and low-key.
But at the funeral site, the small spiritual hall was crowded with people, and all the men, women and children of the whole village rushed to send her on her last journey, and there was a long queue outside the door of the farewell ceremony, and many people came from thousands of miles away to mourn.
At the scene of the funeral, Guo Fenglian, secretary of the general party branch of Dazhai Village, delivered a eulogy to the crowd with sorrow.
"Song Yulin's life is a life of silent dedication, she loves her husband in the most simple and simplest way, loves her children, loves the children she cares for, and loves every father and fellow villager in Dazhai. She loves the party and the people in the most honest and loyal way, loves her own work, loves her career, and dedicates herself to obscurity. ”
Song Yulin may not have achieved much, and this life can also be said to be plain, but this woman who has been low-key and paid silently in her life has made people deeply respect and love to wear.
Like many great women in the Chinese nation, their excellent character of silently paying, bearing hardships and standing hard work, and selfless dedication is always worth remembering.
