Jianxian Buddha's Family Portrait
Foreword
When the Long March had just stepped out of the grassland, the people in hadapu saw Jianxian Buddha in tattered clothes and holding a boy under the age of one month in his arms. He felt very fond of it and took out the 10 pot helmets in exchange for the child in her arms. Jian Xianfo shook his head and said: "If you give me 100 , I won't change it! "
Later, in Yan'an , Kang Keqing said to the American female reporter Nim Wells: " Xiao Ke's wife Jian Xianfo almost died in childbirth during the Long March. She gave birth while was crossing the grass ... ”
Jian Xianfo was not only a good mother, but also a good wife. When her husband, Xiao Ke, was in a low mood, Jian Xianfo would always be like drizzle, nourishing his heart and making him feel warm.
Xiao Ke: Give him the money back
In the 1990s, the lives of the Chinese people have been greatly improved. However, Xiao Ke, as the founding general of the country, believed that the Chinese people were not wealthy enough and he still had to set an example. His three meals a day are simple meals, and there is never a piece of meat on the table all year round. He lives the life of an ordinary person.
Xiao Ke's later years
In his daily life, Xiao Ke neither smoked nor drank. He lived a very regular life and was in good health.
One day, an old subordinate came to visit Xiao Ke at home. Knowing that Xiao Ke does not smoke or drink, lives a simple life and is reluctant to eat meat, he brought him some crabs to help them improve their lives.
This old subordinate had worked with Xiao Ke for many years and knew Xiao Ke's character well. He did not dare to take out the crabs in front of Xiao Ke, so he quietly handed them over to his family and repeatedly asked not to tell the old general.
The next day, Xiao Ke’s wife Jian Xianfo found crabs at home and asked where they came from. After learning that it was sent by the old subordinate, Jian Xianfo, who knew the temper of his lover Xiao Ke, knew that this matter was troublesome.
Sure enough, when he found a crab on the dining table, Xiao Ke turned to Jian Xianfo and asked: "Where did the crab come from?" Jian Xianfo knew that he couldn't ask clearly about this matter, so Xiao Ke would not give up, so he took the crab. The source, told Xiao Ke truthfully.
Jian Xianfo was with his son Xiao Xinghua and grandson Xiao Yunzhi
After hearing what his lover Jian Xianfo said, Xiao Ke walked into the study without even taking a bite of rice, picked up the phone and called the old subordinate. On the phone, Xiao Ke went straight to the topic without any preamble: " If you come here from now on, don't send these things. If you send them again next time, don't come into my door again! " After
finished speaking, he didn't wait. The old subordinate explained, and Xiao Ke hung up the phone directly.
After coming out of the study room, Xiao Ke returned to the dining table and said to the children: "After you figure out how to sell crabs outside, give him the money back!"
After hearing what his father said, the children did not dare to say anything. . Xiao Ke didn't speak anymore. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued to drink the porridge in the bowl. From time to time, he picked up some pickles with his chopsticks and started eating. Xiao Ke didn't touch a piece of crab until he left the table.
After dinner, under Jian Xianfo's arrangement, the crabs were counted and sent to Xiao Ke's old subordinate.

In life, the revolutionary couple Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke were very loving and enviable. They met in those passionate years and came together for the common revolutionary ideal under the witness of He Long and Ren Bishi.
He Long: How can a mother who has just given birth ride a horse?
In October 1934, the Red Army led by He Long and the Red Army led by Ren Bishi, chairman of the Military and Political Committee, corps commander Xiao Ke, and the Hunan-Jiangsu Soviet Area led by political commissar Wang Zhen moved over to fight. The Red Sixth Army met in Yinjiang, Guizhou.
Subsequently, the two armies acted in unison and launched the Xiangxi Offensive, which kicked off the creation of the Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou Revolutionary Base . Soon after, the Red Army captured Yongshun, Sangzhi, Dayong and Taoyuan counties one after another.
On December 26, He Long led the Second Red Army Corps to Cili, Hunan and occupied the county seat.

On the night of occupying Cili , He Long invited his father-in-law Jian Chengyan and his family to have dinner in a small restaurant in the county town. During the dinner, He Long asked his father-in-law about the situation at home. Jian Chengyan said with a smile: "Both siblings, Xianren and Xianwei, have joined the Red Army, leaving the fourth and fifth sons behind. They can't stay at home." Stay... "
In Yue Zhang Jian's words at the banquet, He Long could tell that the old man wanted the remaining two children to join the Red Army and serve the country together.
Earlier, because the three eastern provinces had all fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders, the whole country was in a state of excitement. Thinking that his sister and brother had joined the Red Army, 18-year-old Jian Xianfo could no longer study peacefully in school and wanted to contribute to the anti-Japanese war.
After learning about his daughter's wish, the enlightened father Jian Chengyan said to his daughter: " If you want to resist Japan, become a Red Army soldier. " The father's words further strengthened Jian Xianfo's desire to resist Japan and also contributed to She pointed the way forward.
Later, with the encouragement of his sister Jian Xianren, Jian Xianfo went to the headquarters of the Second Red Army to find his brother-in-law He Long to discuss joining the Red Army. After entering the door, Jian Xianfo talked about his revolutionary ideals and revolutionary aspirations to the people present.

After hearing what Jian Xianfo said, He Long said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to join the Red Army!" Seeing his brother-in-law being so generous, Jian Xianfo was startled: "Join yourself. Is it so easy for the Red Army? How could he know it before I said anything?" In Jian Xianfo's view, the reason why he talked about his revolutionary ideals to his brother-in-law was to make a detour so that he would not be able to refuse. But I didn't expect it to be so easy.
Immediately, the clever Jian Xianfo knew what was going on. Jian Xianfo thought in his heart and couldn't help but said: " My sister must have tipped off the news... "
Jian Xianfo's words immediately caused people in the room to burst into laughter. Among them, the Red Sixth Army Corps Chang Xiao Ke’s laughter was the highest.
Looking at the expression on Jian Xianfo's face, He Long said with a smile: "Your second sister is in the Red Army, you should also join the Red Army." Then, He Long introduced the situation of the Red Army and the Communist Party to Jian Xianfo. Then, He Long added: "I heard that when you were in school, you participated in the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement. You held the ambition of 'everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.' If you want to resist Japan and save the country, join the Red Army!"
He Long's words gave Jian Xianfo a deeper understanding of the Red Army and the Communist Party. In this way, Jian Xianfo joined the Red Army without hesitation. In the Red Army, Jian Xianfo, who was good at calligraphy and painting, was assigned to the Propaganda Team of the Political Department of the Second Red Army and became a propagandist.

In early 1935, Jian Xianfo joined the China Communist Youth League. At work, the young, beautiful and approachable Jian Xianfo has obvious advantages. Occasionally, Jian Xianfo would communicate and work with Xiao Ke. Gradually, Jian Xianfo attracted Xiao Ke's attention, and he gradually developed a love for her. Jian Xianfo also developed a good impression of Xiao Ke. Later, when talking about his first impression of Xiao Ke, Jian Xianfo recalled:
"Xiao Ke did not teach others and was easy to get in touch with. He was not only to me, but also to other young Red Army soldiers. He was like everyone." We can talk about it."
As for the matter between Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke, He Long saw it in his eyes and was very happy to see them get together, so he helped the two of them pierce the window paper in their hearts.
html In June, under the auspices of Ren Bishi and Chen Congying, Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke held a simple wedding in Dayong, Hunan (now Zhangjiajie), and they were married for a century.On November 19, 1935, the Sixth Red Army and the Second Red Army set off from Sangzhi, Hunan, and began the Long March.

During the Long March, the pregnant Jian Xianfo walked with the Sixth Red Army, and his sister Jian Xianren He appeared on the Long March with his daughter He Jiesheng, who was less than a month old, and the Second Red Army Corps.
During the Long March, He Long and Xiao Ke had to command the troops and had no time to take care of their wives and children. Since the two sisters were not in the same army, it was difficult to see each other. Jian Xianren was worried about his pregnant sister, and Jian Xianfo was also worried about his sister who was carrying her daughter.
In July 1936, the Sixth Red Army, the Second Red Army and the Fourth Red Army met in Ganzi. After the reunification, according to the order of the Central Committee, the Sixth Red Army, the Second Red Army and the Thirty-second Red Army were jointly organized into the Red Second Front Army . He Long was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and Xiao Ke was the deputy commander-in-chief.
When Jian Xianren saw his sister again, Jian Xianfo's belly was already very big. Jian Xianren knew that his sister was about to give birth, so he decided to stay with his sister to take care of her and accompany her during the birth.
In this way, Jian Xianren carried his 8-month-old daughter He Jiesheng on his back, took care of his sister, and continued to move forward on the Long March. When he entered the grassland, Jian Xianfo showed signs of giving birth, but he didn't know when exactly he would give birth.
The young Xiao Ke
Looking at Jian Xianfo who was sweating profusely, Jian Xianren helped his sister to continue walking while comforting her and said: "I have brought a letter to Xiao Ke. My sister is here. Don't be afraid. I hope Right in front. ”
Then, Xiao Ke ran over on horseback. Seeing her husband’s nervous and excited expression, Jian Xianfo’s face showed a happy smile.
At this moment, Jian Xianfo once again had prenatal labor pains . Jian Xianren said: "It looks like she is about to give birth!" Thinking that there was not even a piece of covering cloth around, Jian Xianren was very anxious. Xiao Ke also looked around anxiously and found a earthen fence not far away, so he quickly supported his wife and came to the earthen fence.
Later, Xiao Ke and the guards dug some more turf and repaired it into a simple earthen fort. In this way, Jian Xianfo gave birth to their first son inside.
Xiao Ke was very happy when he heard his son's cry, holding the child and smiling from ear to ear. Then, Xiao Ke turned his attention to his beloved wife Jian Xianfo and said: " The child was born in the earth fort, so let's call him Baosheng! "

Since Xiao Ke was a father for the first time, although he was a good fighter, he was not professional enough in taking care of the mother. Jian Xianfo gave birth soon and after eating only a little food, he continued on his horse with Xiao Ke's support.
After learning about this incident, He Long said with concern: " How can a mother who has just given birth to a child ride a horse? " After saying that, He Long asked the General Affairs Department of the Second Army to pick up a few strong soldiers and carry them. On a stretcher, he led Jianxian Buddha forward.
Considering that the soldiers were also working very hard, after sitting on a stretcher for two days, Jian Xianfo refused to let the soldiers suffer anymore and carried her away.
During this period, Xiao Ke was unable to stay with his beloved wife and son for a long time due to his heavy command tasks, but as long as he had time, he would come to his wife and children as soon as possible to care for them.
During a march, Jian Xianfo, who was holding his child, fainted from hunger because he had no food in his belly, and suddenly fell off his horse. Seeing Jian Xianfo fall off his horse, Yang Shangkun's wife Li Bozhao immediately ran over and handed the little rice she had in front of Jian Xianfo.

Looking at the rice in front of him, although Jian Xianfo was very eager, he thought that Li Bozhao only had this little, so he said: "This is your survival food, how can I ask for it?" Li Bozhao said firmly: " For the sake of the children, take it! " With that, Li Bozhao forced the rice into Jian Xianfo's hand and left. For this reason, Li Bozhao almost starved to death in the grass.
With this little food, Jian Xianfo and his child Xiao Baosheng walked out of the grass tenaciously.When they arrived at Hadapu, the locals saw Jian Xianfo in tattered clothes holding a child. They were very fond of it. They took 10 extremely valuable pot helmets and wanted to take the child away from Jian Xianfo. Jian Xianfo said: "Even if you give me 100, I won't change it!"
html In October, Xiao Ke was transferred to the commander of the 31st Army of the Fourth Red Front Army. When Xiao Ke went to take office, Jian Xianfo was worried that his children would hinder the army, so with Xiao Ke's consent, he took his children and the groom to northern Shaanxi. After eight days of arduous march, as a member of the Red Second Front Army, Jian Xianfo was the first to reach the Rear Area Political Department of the Central Military Commission.After Jian Xianfo came to the Central Committee, Chairman Mao specially met with her and listened to her introduction to the situation of the Red Second Front Army during the Long March. After the conversation, Chairman Mao stayed with Jian Xianfo to have dinner with him.

For this female soldier of the Red Second Front Army who first arrived in northern Shaanxi, Luo Ronghuan praised in front of Jian Xianfo: "You are so brave and amazing!"
After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, The Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army. He Long was appointed commander of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and Xiao Ke was appointed deputy division commander. The two teamed up again to launch a fierce battle against the Japanese invaders.
In December 1938, Jian Xianfo was transferred to the Organization Department of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Branch and participated in the work. At this time, Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke discussed it and decided to send 2-year-old Xiao Baosheng back to Cili, Hunan, and leave it to the care of the child's maternal grandparents.
In 1939, Jian Xianfo became pregnant again and gave birth to his second son in a small mountain village in Fuping, Hebei. Xiao Ke was very happy and named the child Xiao Xinghua.
During this period, the Japanese invaders carried out a frantic raid on the anti-Japanese base areas, and the Eighth Route Army moved very frequently, so they had to leave their son, who was less than 20 days old, to the home of fellow villager Wang Jinsheng.
After Xiao Ke came to the front line to command, Jian Xianfo stayed at Wang Jinsheng's house for only three days before he had to leave. Before leaving, Jian Xianfo looked at the child in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
Xiao Ke, Nie Rongzhen and Yang Chengwu were on the anti-Japanese frontline
Seeing Jian Xianfo like this, the old lady of the Wang family said affectionately: "His aunt, don't worry! The Eighth Route Army saved our whole family, I will definitely take care of the children. !"
After Jian Xianfo left, Wang Jinsheng's family kept their promise. In order to raise Xiao Xinghua, the Wang family tightened their belts and cooked the little millet they saved into millet paste, let it cool, and fed the child bite by bite.
When Xiao Xinghua was one year old, Wang Jinsheng's family was in trouble. In order to get some food for the child, several party members in the village also contributed a little. But later it was not enough, so Wang Jinsheng ran to Xingtang, dozens of miles away. Relatives in the county borrowed 5 kilograms of millet to prevent Xiao Xinghua from being devastated. Xiao Xinghua felt very lucky about this. He later recalled:
"At that time, every family was short of food and the bark of the trees was eaten up. People picked the leaves and mixed them with the chaff to eat. In those years, the whole village had a total of 20 people. Of the two children, only two survived, including me."
Although they were fighting for the country and the people outside, Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke cared deeply about their children and often took advantage of meetings at the military region headquarters to visit their sons.
Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke together
In 1941, the Japanese army used bacteria in Cili, Hunan. The 5-year-old Xiao Baosheng was infected by plague and died on the way to escape. After hearing the news, Jian Xianfo cried very sadly , regretting that I should not have sent my child back to Hunan. After his emotions stabilized, Jian Xianfo also knew that the child's matter had little to do with being sent back to Hunan. It was mainly caused by the inhumanity of the Japanese army.
In 1942, when Xiao Xinghua was 3 years old, Jian Xianfo took the child to his side and raised him. However, Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke were very grateful to Wang Jinsheng's family and regarded it as their children's second home. Whenever they had time, they would take their children to stay with Wang Jinsheng's family for a few days.
In August 1943, Xiao Ke was appointed acting commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. In September, Xiao Ke fell ill and had a high fever. Later, Xiao Ke moved to Fuping Shenxian Mountain with the border district government, the North China Associated University, and other units.In order to take care of Xiao Ke nearby, the organization decided to let Jian Xianfo take his children to Shenxian Mountain .
A few days later, Wang Ping, political commissar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Third Division, called and told Xiao Ke that the enemy would surround Shenxian Mountain before dawn, and asked them to break out quickly before being surrounded.
Considering Xiao Ke’s condition, the medical staff all advocated that Xiao Ke go on a stretcher, but Jian Xianfo didn’t think so. She said that the mountain road was difficult to walk, and walking on a stretcher was too slow, and it would be dangerous if he couldn’t break through before dawn, so it was better to ride a mule immediately. It is better to start with .
Jian Xianfo, his son and Xiao Ke were together
Sure enough, according to Jian Xianfo's method, they successfully passed through the gap between the enemy and quietly penetrated to the outside line and reached a safe zone. Xiao Ke admired this very much and said to his wife: " Why do you want me to ride a mule? " Jian Xianfo replied: " If you don't ride a mule, not only will you not be able to go, but everyone will be dragged down by you. Even if Falling off a mule is better than being surrounded by enemies. In the past, weren't the wounded and sick in the Red Army rescued on horses? "
In this way, Jian Xianfo took his son and took care of her husband all the way. It was not until the end of the "anti-mopping up" in mid-December that, with the care of the central government, Jian Xianfo accompanied his lover Xiao Ke to Yan'an to recuperate.
After the liberation of the country, Xiao Ke was appointed director of the Military Training Department of the People's Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government, and Jian Xianfo also served as deputy director of the Office of the Military Training Department of the Central Military Commission. The family lives in Beijing.
Jian Xianfo: Nothing is too difficult
In Beijing, Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke often think of their other home in Fuping, Hebei, where they have their child Xiao Xinghua, and their days in Fuping . Since there were families with children in Fuping, he was their benefactor. Therefore, the two decided to invite Wang Jinsheng's family to Beijing at a convenient time.

Sometimes, because they were busy with work, Jian Xianfo would send people to Fuping to pick up Wang Jinsheng’s family. The two families would get together and chat about their daily life. When they left, they would get some for them. Things in town, deliver them to the door.
In 1955, Xiao Ke was awarded the rank of general.
In 1958, Xiao Ke was dismissed and left his leadership position. After returning home, I felt very unhappy. Seeing her husband like this, Jian Xianfo felt uncomfortable, but he still advised him: "If you think about it more liberally, it doesn't matter. It's just not being an official. As long as the person is there, there is nothing that can't be overcome."
After listening to his wife's words , Xiao Ke calmed down a lot, nodded and said: "You are right, as long as people are around, history will always have justice." Soon after, Xiao Ke was appointed deputy minister of the Ministry of Agricultural Reclamation.
In 1972, Xiao Ke was appointed as the president of the Military and Political University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army; in 1977, Xiao Ke was appointed as the dean and first political commissar of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Military Academy and a member of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China. In 1980, Xiao Ke served as Deputy Minister of Defense, Dean of the Military Academy, and First Political Commissar.
In 1982, Xiao Ke was elected as a standing member of the Central Advisory Committee, and Jian Xianfo and his sister Jian Xianren were both elected as members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China.
Jian Xianfo and Xiao Ke together
After Xiao Ke and Jian Xianfo retired one after another, they lived in a courtyard house in Mahayana Hutong and lived a quiet and happy life in their later years. My sister Jian Xianren also lives in the house across the street, and the two families have frequent contacts. During those days together, the happy laughter of several old people could always be heard from the yard of Xiao Ke's house.
Jian Xianfo's heart is full of sunshine. At the age of 106, she can still sing the song " The East is Red " with a loud voice. At this time, Jian Xianfo would smile and say to the people around him: " Chairman Mao is the great savior of the people! "
