It seems that modern love is very short-lived, and all reasons can prevent two people from being together, but many loves before this are very touching. The story of the Anti-Japanese War veteran Wang Deyao and his wife is called an ageless love.
In 1984, Taiwanese veteran Wang Yaode applied to his superiors for outbound travel many times, and finally succeeded. So on July 28, Wang Deyao left early in the morning for Thailand, and later transferred to Hong Kong. After half a month, I finally returned to the mainland on August 12th and met my wife whom I had not seen for 36 years.
36 years ago, the two of them were still high-spirited young people, but now their hair has turned gray. After a long time, they are very excited. The people who have missed each other for a long time are finally standing in front of them. It is worth mentioning that in that era, long-distance communication was too strenuous. Wang Yaode wrote his thoughts about his wife into love letters, and these love letters totaled 5 million words. However, because there were no normal exchanges between the two sides at that time, these love letters It has been kept at the bottom of the box and has never been sent out.
After returning to his hometown, Wang Yaode gave the 5 million-word love letter to his wife. His wife then bound these love letters into a book. In the days when the two were together, she often took out these love letters and read them repeatedly. I have repeatedly experienced the difficult circumstances of my husband being in a foreign country.
After returning to the mainland, Wang Yaode became the leader of the Finance Bureau of his hometown with the care of the Chinese Communist Party. He was later elected as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Because he had lived in Taiwan for 36 years, this experience allowed him to often serve as a supporter for some cross-strait officials in the future. After matchmaking with people looking for relatives, he actively introduced Taiwanese capital to build middle schools and roads in the county, which promoted the economic development of his hometown. And his wife silently saw this in her eyes, remembered it in her heart, and stood behind him to support him unconditionally. After
reunited, the two stayed together and lived together for more than ten years. At this time, they had entered their old age. They often read books and newspapers together, or walked along the river. They were not inferior to those romantic young people at all, perhaps because they After going through the war years, I understand how hard it is to stay together now, so I cherish the time together even more. In 2012, 89-year-old Wang Deyao passed away due to illness. During the period when he was seriously ill, his wife stayed by her side. Later, the 5 million-word love letter that served as a testimony of their love was also published.
So, what is love? Love will never be defeated by time, distance, or other reasons. What can defeat love is all because of lack of love. In that war-torn era, there were thousands of people like Wang Deyao who had such touching love, which is our modern A role model for young people to learn from. Having said that, everyone must really want to know what kind of love can withstand the test of 36 years, and what kind of relationship can make Wang Yaode sit at his desk and think about it after not seeing each other for 36 years. Pretend to be your lover and write a 5 million word love letter? What kind of feelings kept him from giving up the idea of returning to China even after being refused by his superiors to visit relatives thousands of times?
- When you win the battle, you must come back and marry me!
Wang Deyao was born in Guankou Town, Xishui County, Hebei Province in 1923. He and his later wife, Liu Guxiang, had been childhood sweethearts since childhood. However, people in that era were relatively conservative. They just kept each other in mind and never made it public. When they reached their teens, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full force, and the evil-doing Japanese came to their hometown and began to carry out various invasions here.
The two were only 18 years old at the time. After the Japanese army invaded their hometown, Wang Deyao and his classmates gave up the opportunity to go to school and chose to abandon their writing and join the army. They wanted to do their best to contribute to the country. Although Liu Guxiang was very reluctant to leave at this time, she understood what was most important at the moment. Before Wang Deyao left with the troops, Liu Guxiang sent him to the entrance of the village, and then shyly took out a stack of When you open the thick paper, you will see that the contents inside are all love poems written by Liu Guxiang for Wang Deyao.
After Wang Deyao looked at it, the two did not speak, but they looked at each other. Wang Deyao saw worry in Liu Guxiang's eyes, and then quickly changed to: I believe that after you finish the war, you will come to marry me! And Liu Guxiang also saw the promise in the other party's eyes. He believed that after winning the battle, the other party would definitely come back and marry him. In this way, the two made a lifelong commitment through their eyes.
After that, Wang Deyao went to Anhui with several classmates and chose a military academy. After passing the exam, he officially entered training and embarked on a military career. In 1944, Wang Deyao, who had been fighting in the north and south, had grown into a company commander.
A year later, exciting news spread throughout the country. Japan finally announced its unconditional surrender! This also means that the day when Wang Deyao and Liu Guxiang get married is very close! At this time, Wang Deyao had only one idea in his mind, to go home and marry Liu Guxiang. As a result, his status as a soldier always made him unable to help himself. Although the Anti-Japanese War was victorious, he was transferred to Luoyang and Nanjing. Seeing that almost three years had passed since the victory of the war, Wang Deyao was very anxious. He was afraid that he would not be able to wait for his girl. He was afraid that in the era when his parents ordered matchmakers, his girl would not be able to survive.
Fortunately, , in February 1948, Wang Deyao finally had an opportunity to return to his hometown to visit relatives. It was through this opportunity that he finally married the girl he wanted to marry. Although the results of are good, the two have gone through a lot and both parties have made great efforts.
Her mother passed away the year after Wang Deyao left his hometown as a soldier. Liu Guxiang had been waiting hard for his lover to marry her, but when the Anti-Japanese War was won, Wang Deyao did not come back. Liu Guxiang believed in his lover wholeheartedly. Yes, but Liu Guxiang's parents didn't think so. Seeing that Wang Deyao could not come back, Liu's father was very anxious and wanted his daughter to marry the son of a wealthy family in the same village, so that Liu Guxiang would not be wronged in the future.
But how could Liu Guxiang agree? The person waiting has not come back yet. She will not marry unless she is Wang Deyao. In order to fight against her father, she forced her to die several times. Her father couldn't bear it and had no choice but to give up. However, his father did not give up like this. He told Liu Guxiang that if in 1948 If Wang Deyao still can't come back, she will have to marry someone else.
Coincidentally, Wang Deyao came back before that deadline, and just like that, Liu Guxiang married Wang Deyao, whom he had longed for. When everyone thought that the two could stay together for a lifetime, a military order came down and the two, who had just been married for less than ten days, were forced to separate.
- Come back soon for reunion, I’ll wait for you!
Anti-Japanese War veteran Wang Deyao and his beloved girl Liu Guxiang finally got married after many difficulties. However, in that war-torn era, the newlyweds did not get together for long. In less than ten days after their marriage, Wang Deyao received the order from his superiors and hurried back to the army.
I thought that after getting married, the two of them could stay together forever, but unexpectedly, Wang Deyao received the order that he was going to Taiwan.. Before leaving, he was very worried about his wife, so he made a special trip back to his hometown to say goodbye to Liu Guxiang. During these short few days, the two talked to each other and did not close their eyes to sleep at night. The two of them before We haven’t seen each other for 7 years. This time we are separated by mountains and rivers. I don’t know how many years it will be before we meet again!
On the day they separated, Liu Guxiang sent Wang Deyao to the entrance of the village just like last time, and carefully took out a thick book from his pocket. It turned out that this book was a love letter Liu Guxiang had written to Wang Deyao during the past seven years. It has been bound into a book by her. This time she was not shy, but gently told her lover: "When you leave and miss your hometown, just open this book and read it. Remember to come back early, don't Forget your family!" This scene has become the most unforgettable scene in Wang Deyao's 36 years away from home.
Wang Deyao, who later came to Taiwan, was stationed on the coast of Taiwan, a treasure island, according to orders from his superiors, and was successfully promoted to head of the regiment. During so many years, , he often misses his hometown and the girl far away. During the day, he can use many official duties to relieve his lovesickness, but during the long nights, he can only rely on the love letters given to him by his wife.
During these 36 years, every time Wang Deyao missed his lover, he would quickly sit down at his desk, imagine what his lover looked like, and then slowly write down those thoughts and feelings. He wanted to send all these thoughts to his wife, but unfortunately the information between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait was not communicated with each other at that time, and none of these letters were successfully sent. However, Wang Deyao saved these love letters afterwards, and in 36 years, there was a box full of them.
Back then, Wang Deyao was young when he left the mainland for Taiwan. People around him often advised him that he didn’t know how many years it would take to go back to Taiwan after this trip, and he might never be able to go back in his lifetime, so he should hurry up and find a wife. It is very important for children to continue their incense. Whenever this happens, Wang Deyao will say categorically, I have a wife, and she is waiting for me at home! So in these years, Wang Deyao has been alone and has never married again.
Time soon came to 1979. At that time, he was no longer a soldier, but an ordinary farmer living in Taiwan. When he knew that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait had finally restored contact, he got a letter sent by his wife for him. He immediately replied to the letter, and just like that, Wang Deyao was determined to return to his hometown. After
, Wang Deyao applied to the authorities many times to return to his hometown to visit relatives, but was rejected every time. Even so, he did not give up until he finally used the excuse of traveling abroad to return to his hometown and meet his lover.
Yes, this is an ageless love. They spent a lifetime to fulfill the promise they made when they were young. This kind of love is really touching!
