Who knows that the story of the Red Army’s Long March requires more than 2,000 words?
At noon on December 19, 1935, part of the main force of the Second Army led by He Long entered Yanshi Township from Guanzhu. Three soldiers wearing gray cloth uniforms and carrying short guns came to the third-bedroom courtyard and saw a woman hurriedly walking into her home with a child in her arms. The soldier followed him into the main room of her house. Seeing that her door was closed, he knocked gently and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't be afraid. Our Red Army serves the people. Please open the door. We have something to discuss with you." "The young woman's name is Ouyang Xiangyuan, and her husband is working as a porter outside. When she heard the knock on the door, she was not very anxious, and the voice of the shout was very calm, so she opened the door. Seeing that there was an empty room in her house, the soldier asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think it would be okay to lend you this empty room to build a bunk for the night?" Although Ouyang Xiangyuan did not fully understand what they were saying, he knew that they were I wanted to borrow a house to live in, so a smile of agreement appeared on my face.
After a while, a soldier led a tall and burly man wearing a blue cloth gown and a mustache to the door of Ouyang Xiangyuan's house, followed by twenty or thirty people in uniforms. Soldiers in gray cloth uniforms and carrying short rifles stood neatly in two rows in the Heping. The man with the mustache told everyone: "We, the Red Army, are a team of the poor and seek liberation for the people. We have iron discipline. Everyone must be careful not to enter the bedrooms of young women." Then he said, "We, the Red Army, are No matter where we go, we must care about and care for the people. Things in the people's homes cannot be moved without the owner's consent. Borrowed things must be returned. Damaged and lost things must be compensated according to the price. Only in this way can we gain the trust of the people and gain the trust of the people. Unite the masses to overthrow the traitor Chiang Kai-shek and overthrow Japanese imperialism."
Ouyang Xiangyuan could tell from the expressions of the soldiers that the mustache was a high official. Listening to his speech, he always thinks about the common people and believes that the Red Army is a good person. She walked to the yard with excitement and told others what the mustache said. She didn't go home until it was almost dark. She walked to the door of the hall and saw that a bunk was set up on the ground. The mustache and two other people were there. I read the map under the kerosene lamp and made gestures while reading. She wanted to know what kind of official that official was, so she walked outside the door and quietly asked a young soldier: "Who is that man of yours who is wearing a blue cloth gown and a beard?" the young soldier whispered softly. He told her: "It's our corps commander, Chairman He of the Soviet government. We all call him Mr. He." After hearing this, she muttered to herself that he was a high-ranking official. No wonder the soldiers listened to him in a polite manner.
She walked into the room, and a female warrior asked her to sit down very kindly, and chatted with her like sisters. During the conversation, she asked the female soldier: "Whose wife are you?" The female soldier told her readily: "I am the lover of Comrade He Long. I am staying at your house tonight. It is really troublesome for you." She knew that she lived in Her family was Chairman He Long, a high-ranking official of the Red Army, and he said embarrassedly: "This house is not good. It has not been cleaned up properly. I'm really sorry for you." The female soldier said, "After the war is over, the poor will have good houses to live in." "
Early the next morning, the troops were leaving. Some soldiers were packing and some were cleaning. A soldier walked up to Ouyang Xiangyuan's sister-in-law Lei Qingju (who lived opposite her) and said repeatedly Asked if there was anything damaged or lost, Lei Qingju said: "There is only a wooden washbasin that I didn't see." After a while, the soldier took a copper washbasin and said to her: "If you can't find it, use this washbasin." , keep it as a souvenir if you find it. The discipline of the Red Army is stipulated by Chairman He, you must accept it." When Chairman He and the soldiers left, the crowd sent them off with tears, and the soldiers also
Look back from time to time and say goodbye.
Decades have passed, but Ouyang Xiangyuan has not forgotten "Chairman He" back then. In 1956, when she saw the hanging portrait of the top ten marshals of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, she recognized Chairman He who lived in her home at a glance, and said happily: "Look, our Chairman He has returned to Yanshan." Come, come to our home again.
