Li Zhen
Life experience is bumpy, and the marriage is unfortunate
1908, in Xiaobanqiao Village, Liuyang County, Hunan Province, Li Guangtian is waiting for his wife to give birth.
At that time, the villagers generally believed that only boys could stand up. Before this fetus, Li Guangtian had already had 5 daughters. Since his wife became pregnant, Li Guangtian has been praying day and night to be a boy.
Not long after, A baby girl was born, which disappointed him. The discouraged Li Guangtian even lazily even named her.
This baby girl is Li Zhen. His father is not looking forward to her arrival. For a long time, she didn't even have a serious name. Everyone called her "Danwazi" .

Because of Li Zhen's arrival, this family of eight became even more difficult. Li Guangtian worked day after day in the rented two and acres of land, and finally became ill. He passed away shortly after Li Zhen was born.
When Li Zhen was 6 years old, her weak mother could no longer support her five children. In desperation, she found a "way out" and gave Li Zhen to a family surnamed Gu as her adopted daughter .
The Gu family’s family is not bad. They already have two daughters at home. Li Zhen is named her adopted daughter, but in fact she is a child bride for Gu Tianshun, who is four years older than her.
To put it nicely, it is a child bride, but to the Gu family, Li Zhen is just a servant . She lost her father at a young age and was given away by her mother, but life did not pity her.
Li Zhen
Chop wood, cook, and wash clothes at the Gu family. She did all kinds of dirty and tiring work. 's life under someone's roof made Li Zhen live a trembling life. If she was not careful when working, she would be beaten .
1924, 16-year-old Li Zhen put on a big red wedding dress and married Gu Tianshun. Although grew up together, the two have nothing to do with childhood sweethearts and young children.
Gu Tianshun has always regarded Li Zhen as a servant of the Gu family and looked down on her from the bottom of his heart. He has a bad temper and Li Zhen’s personality are incompatible. The reason why he promised to marry this "child bride" was completely in accordance with his parents’ wishes.
And what about Li Zhen? She couldn't help but feel that the tormented days of at the Gu family made it even more impossible for her to fall in love with Gu Tianshun .
Li Zhen
Even though both of them were dissatisfied, they were still forced to form a couple. If it were just a couple who had a bed in the same bed and had a different dream, it would be barely endured, but Li Zhen suffered much more than that.
Once, Li Zhen went up the mountain to chop wood. After a while, it suddenly started to rain heavily in the sky. . Even if Li Zhen was soaked into a chicken, he would not dare to stop the work in his hand.
Finally, she finally returned home, and her mother-in-law who was working outside happened to come back. , but her mother-in-law not only did not understand Li Zhen, but instead spoke harshly to her .
In front of everyone, the mother-in-law complained loudly.
Li Zhen and Gan Siqi
"It's raining outside but didn't see it? Why don't you even prepare clothes? What are you doing for?"
Li Zhen felt wronged and defended herself. But before she finished speaking, Gu Tianshun on the side punched her and kicked her.
In the eyes of the Gu family, Li Zhen is a maid who can call around at will. As a maid, he dares to contradict his master. Is this unreasonable? And everyone present thought so.
Li Zhen was beaten to death by her husband and was covered in bruises. Coupled with her mother-in-law's sarcasm, she finally became the last straw that crushed Li Zhen. So, she decided to jump into the river and commit suicide in anger, and ended her entire life.
Zhang Qilong
The kind neighbor came and persuaded her in time.
"Miss, I'm so old, and I'm beaten and scolded by my husband every day. This is our woman's name, don't be in trouble with yourself."
The dissuasion of the neighbor made Li Zhen calm down and gave up the idea of committing suicide. , but she did not accept her fate, and she was unwilling to surrender to such a fate. . In the spring of 1926, Li Zhen learned from his sister that the Communist Party was coming. They established a Women's Association, and women there can turn over and not be beaten and scolded , Li Zhen seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
Li Zhen
Is there really such a good thing? No matter what, she wanted to see it with her own eyes.
The next day, Li Zhen joined the Women's Association under the leadership of her sister. accompanied her for 18 years, and she was finally abandoned on that day, and she also had her first serious name - Li Zhen.
Since then, Li Zhen has actively participated in the revolution. During the Northern Expedition, she took the initiative to lead like-minded women to promote the revolution and raise food for the troops.
Because of her outstanding performance, she was elected as a member of the Yonghe District Women's Federation. A year later, 19-year-old Li Zhen joined the Communist Party of China and became a glorious proletarian warrior.
Li Zhen
Shortly, the reactionaries launched the " Horse Day Incident " in Hunan to massacre Communists. In the notices posted all over the streets, Li Zhen's name was listed.
The Gu family was shocked, and then hurriedly sent divorce letter to Li Zhen's mother , and wanted to divorce Li Zhen immediately, for fear of being implicated.
This was actually a relief for Li Zhen, and she was finally able to leave the Gu family.
At that time, some people thought that women were born to be beaten and scolded, while others believed that women could only be in the rear when fighting, but Li Zhen did the opposite. she refused to accept her fate and did not compromise. She even participated in a head-on battle between the guerrillas and the enemy.
Li Zhen
After experiencing the fierce attack of the enemy, our party regrouped and formed the Liuyang East Guerrillas.
1928, Li Zhen became the chairman of the guerrillas, and the political commissar of the guerrillas was named Zhang Qilong . He gave the ignorant Li Zhen a lot of help. Finally, the two of them got together by chance.
At that time, Zhang Qilong went out to attend the meeting and was caught by the Kuomintang reactionaries while passing through Guanyintang.
The reactionaries at that time slandered our army as "Red Bandits", and Zhang Qilong was called Liuyang "Top Ten Bandits" . They were so excited that they were able to catch Zhang Qilong.
Chairman Mao and Li Zhen
And the guerrillas were all anxious. How should we break through many levels and go deep into the enemy to rescue Zhang Qilong?
Li Zhen quickly thought about the countermeasures, and finally she proposed that the guerrillas could pretend to be a wedding team and sneak into it directly from the enemy's inside, and this opinion was also approved by everyone.
That's it, Li Zhen changed into the bride's outfit and took more than a dozen people with him. He swaggered into Guanyintang . When the enemy lifted the sedan chair and saw that the pretty bride was sitting inside, he put them all in.
"Bride Welcoming Team" passed by the gate of the regiment defense bureau. people took out their prepared weapons and knocked down the guard , and rushed in with lightning speed.
Li Zhen and Gan Siqi
Li Zhen, who was dressed as a bride, were not afraid, and followed everyone in, , and when people outside heard the gunshot, they immediately launched an offensive .
Later, Zhang Qilong was successfully rescued, everyone surrounded him, and Zhang Qilong thanked him repeatedly.
Someone started to cheer that Li Zhen should be Zhang Qilong’s real bride, , but Zhang Qilong did not laugh it off, but instead asked Li Zhen seriously . In the end, the two with the same heart got married three days later.

At that time, the organization did not agree with her following the army in the Long March, but Li Zhen was determined not to retreat.
Finally, she fell ill. The medical conditions on were extremely simple, and Li Zhen's health was getting worse day by day. In the end, her teammates could only tie her on the horse's back with long strips of cloth to continue moving forward.
