When I first joined the revolution in 1939, I worked in the Wucheng County propaganda team for more than a year. At that time, because of the serious situation in the enemy, I always lived in Qinghe County at night. Occasionally, I came to the rural areas of Wucheng to perform dramas and dances. Soon, I was transferred to the propaganda team of the Sixth Military Sub-district of southern Hebei, and at this time, I had been to Wucheng.
In early 1942, the army carried out a streamlining of military affairs. Because my parents all lived in the Hexi area of Wucheng, and my second brother Liu Jie worked in the Wucheng County Public Security Bureau, the instructor of the Military Sub-district Propaganda Team sent me and my two nieces Liu Yuchang and Liu Shuchang to the place where my grandmother, parents and sister-in-law lived in Qianshu Village, Wucheng County. Because the enemy occupied the hometown of Xiajin and was confiscated by the enemy, the whole family fled to Hexi, Wucheng to live in seclusion.
After living in Shucun for a short time, the Anti-Japanese Government sent me and my niece to Dongqiao Shang Village to study at the Anti-Japanese High School. There was only one teacher Yuan in the school. I lived in his house at that time. Teacher Yuan’s family treated me well and treated me like my own daughter. Unfortunately, on April 29, 1942, the enemy's "big sweep" began and the school was dispersed. While running for the "sweeping", my niece Liu Yuchang and I ran to Banbitun. It was dark and we were so hungry that we could not walk. Thanks to an old lady who saved us and hid us for three days and three nights. Later, her sister-in-law who asked her to beg for food sent us to Xiaolan Village , and then she found my whole family. The old lady’s wife is Gong Baotai. The old lady is hardworking and simple, grinding tofu to maintain the life of the whole family. This family gave me a second life, and I will never forget it forever.
In early 1943, the Anti-Japanese Government found us a primary school in Nanchenzhuang. The teacher’s surname is Liu. He was a student who graduated from Peking University in the early years. He chose classical literature to teach us. Under the guidance of Teacher Liu, we learned articles such as " Peacock Flying Southeast " and "Shush Room Inscription". He also taught us to write essays and imitate them. This was the happiest three months of my childhood study.
Unfortunately, in early May, the traitor Zhao Dazhai led the puppet army and police chief Zhou Xingcun from the county town to Nanchenzhuang and rushed me, my eldest niece Liu Yuchang, and Qi Shuhua, the girl of the anti-Japanese county magistrate Qi Boli (Qi Hang). When we arrived at the puppet county government, the puppet county magistrate Wu Jipu interrogated the three of us. At that time, we only said that we were from Nanchenzhuang and students studying. He stared at the triangular eyes and said sinisterly: "I don't know who you are, will you catch you?" The enemy locked us in the telephone switchboard room and asked the female staff who listened to the phone to guard us. The enemy arrested us in order to take us as hostages. The purpose was to ask County Magistrate Qi and my second brother Liu Jie to surrender. He wrote a letter saying: "If you don't surrender, give the three children to the Japanese military police." But I didn't know that my second brother Liu Jie and County Magistrate Qi replied, but scolded the traitor county magistrate and said: We don't want those three children anymore. If you want to kill them, kill them, chop them. If you want to catch the children, you will ask the adults to surrender. It is a delusion.
The enemy's conspiracy is bankrupt. In addition to the rescue of our underground workers and the county enemy station, the enemy had to release the three children. Nine days later, we returned to Nanchenzhuang. Teacher Liu was sick and the school was stopped. From then on, I ended my two school life in Wucheng County. These two schools have been studying for half a year.
Afterwards, the organization sent Yuchang and me to Pingyuan County on the Dongjinpu Line of the Canal. At this time, I worked as a traffic officer in the Second Prefectural Committee. For the convenience of work, I shaved barely, pretended to be a boy, paralyzed the enemy, and completed the mission of delivering letters.
The teachers, classmates, landlords and people of Wucheng County have left me with so much impression that I will never forget Wucheng County for my life. In my novels, many places have written about Wucheng County. Wucheng County is an important part of my extraordinary source of life in my childhood.
