A woman who had been begging for 10 years actually carried a pound or three taels of gold with her, and during these ten years of wandering, she did not touch a cent of the gold. After her identity was confirmed by government officials, the officials present were in awe of her and immediately arranged for work and living security. Who is he? He brought so much gold, and why does the government pay so much attention to it?

A beggar mother and daughter

are here On July 18, 1949, the advance troops of the Fourth Field Army of our army occupied Pingjiang County, Hunan Province. Pingjiang County, which had withstood the reactionary rule of the Japanese army and the Kuomintang, finally ushered in liberation. However, not long after, a special visitor came in front of the gate of the newly formed Pingjiang County Party Committee Government. I saw a beggar mother and son in rags who seemed to be looking for someone before they came to the county government. The staff was very confused about this and said to them: Do you need any help? The beggar woman immediately replied, I want to see the county party committee secretary. I have very important things to explain to the government.

At that time, the county seat had just been liberated, and there was a lot of waste waiting to be done. You can imagine the daily workload of the county party committee secretary. So the staff said that if something happened, they could help them. But the woman insisted on seeing the county party secretary. When the staff saw that the woman did not talk like a beggar, they felt something was wrong and immediately reported to the county party secretary and led her into the office. In the office, the county party secretary just started thinking. When they were about to ask about the other party's difficulties, they saw the beggar woman slowly taking out a very shabby looking package. When they opened the package, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them. They saw the beggar's There is a large piece of shining gold in my hand!

"Beggars Mother and Daughter"

Pingjiang Massacre

The woman said excitedly, I can finally hand it over to the country. I have been wandering for ten years in order to find the government! The county party secretary immediately confirmed the woman's identity, and the result surprised everyone present. This woman is called Zhu Yinmei , and she is the wife of our party hero Tu Zhengkun . After Chiang Kai-shek openly betrayed the revolution in 1927, Tu Zhengkun actively organized local armed forces and participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and later participated in the Pingjiang Uprising, He made significant contributions to the development of our party's early army and base areas..

In February 1938, when our New Fourth Army was rushing to the anti-Japanese front line, the Kuomintang suddenly attacked from behind and launched an attack on our New Fourth Army's station in Pingjiang. Many soldiers and cadres of our party were brutally killed, which shocked the whole world and was known as the Pingjiang Massacre in history. Tu Zhengkun, who served as deputy secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, was also unfortunately killed. Zhu Yinmei was devastated when she learned the news that her husband had been killed, but in order to escape the hands of the Kuomintang for her one-month-old child, she immediately hid with her child and gold.

Husband and wife

And this gold was exactly the activity funds that our party had worked so hard to raise, which was very difficult at that time . In this way, she hid in Tibet, and once she was shot by the Kuomintang behind her while escaping, but she endured it for the sake of funds and children. In order to avoid being searched, she hid in the deep mountains and wild forests, picking fruits to eat when she was hungry, and drinking rainwater when she was thirsty. If you really can't find anything to eat, you can only go down the mountain to beg. After going down the mountain once, she was accidentally discovered by Kuomintang soldiers and was taken to prison and tortured. After the news was leaked, the local people couldn't stand it anymore and spontaneously organized a team to rescue her.

Ten years of wandering

In order not to be discovered by the opposition and implicate the people, Zhu Yinmei returned to the mountains and forests and lived a life like a savage. In such a difficult time, she never thought about selling the gold and living a prosperous life. She clearly knew how hard our party had worked to raise funds, and she must not embarrass the party. With this belief, she wandered for ten years..

Wandering mother and son

It wasn’t until the People’s Liberation Army liberated Pingjiang County that Zhu Yinmei cried with joy after receiving the news, and immediately went to the local government to deliver the organizational funds for the year. This was the beginning of the scene. When Zhu Yinmei's identity was confirmed, the staff present were very impressed and shocked, and immediately arranged for Zhu Yinmei's mother and son to be settled. Later, Zhu Yinmei was named a model worker and awarded the award in the Great Hall of the People.

After Zhu Yinmei and her son were settled, they lived a stable life. Although she completed the task of delivering the organization's funds, she always had a big regret, that is, due to ten years of wandering, her son Tu Mingtao 's studies It has never started, and his education has never been high. However, Zhu Yinmei has done very well in the past ten years, and surviving is a miracle in itself.

Tu Mingtao

Zhu Yinmei, who had lived a peaceful life, never revealed her identity to the people around her. The people around her never thought that the woman in front of them had such a legendary story. More than 50 years later, in 1998, Zhu Yinmei passed away with longing for her husband. The husband is a veteran and the wife is a hero. Let us pay our highest respect to the Zhu Yinmei family.
