The younger sister He Yi also joined the revolution and formed a deep revolutionary love with the chairman's third brother.

- Summary
1927, the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China was tragically failed because of the rebellion of Chiang Kai-shek, and the organizational structure of the Communist Party was severely damaged. Thousands of people with lofty ideals, progressive young people and a large number of leftists in the Kuomintang died in Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolutionary coup.
He Zizhen and his three brothers and sisters have made indelible contributions to the construction of the base area because of their active participation in the revolution. Such progressive people will naturally become thorns in the eyes of the Kuomintang white bandits and thorns in the flesh.
For the sake of its own safety, the He family's parents decided to leave their hometown temporarily after careful consultation and come back after the news.
At that time, the He family's younger brother was still young, had not yet made his mark in the base area, nor did he show up in public, and had never attracted the attention of the enemy. In addition, they were transferred to other places, and in the turbulent situation, it was not safe, and there were indeed many inconveniences to raise a child. My family also hopes that he can live a stable childhood and should not leave his hometown at a young age and experience all the sufferings of wandering.
So after discussion, He Minren was finally stayed and fostered at a relative's house, spending his childhood relatively smoothly.
As he gets older, one day, He Minren, who has grown up in a strong revolutionary atmosphere since he can remember, took the initiative to tell his sister He Zizhen that he also wants to do revolution! It can be said that "the children of the He family have many ambitions."
Just like that, He Minren followed the pace of his family, carried the gun, and embarked on the road to defend his country.
In 1933, He Minren finally officially joined the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and became a glorious number-man . He Minren, who had just entered the revolutionary team, soon ushered in a series of challenges in his revolutionary career.
First of all, military life is really hard. Originally, He Minren lived in a relative's house. Although he was living under someone's roof, he was still a real relative and had never treated him badly in food and clothing. Now that he has just joined the army, he is somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of banned and simplistic life in the army.
That's not all. Two years ago (1931), the "September 18th" incident launched, which shocked China and the world, and the Japanese army that embezzled more than one million square kilometers of land in our country made a comeback and sent troops southward, pointing at one of the richest areas in our country at that time - North China Plain .
He Minren, who is determined to serve the country, is naturally heartbroken and indignant, and is eager to put on wings to the front line of North China to compete with these evil invaders.But not only did the National Government at that time not actively resist Japan, but instead let the North China be miserable, and also held high the absurd banner of "Still the homeland must be settled first when fighting foreign countries" and stepped up the clearance of the Red Army!
In 1933, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized heavy troops to destroy the Red Army and the central base areas in one go.
not only advanced to encircle and suppress the base, but also blocked the base in materials, investing a large number of troops to guard the main traffic roads connected to the base, trying to turn the base into an isolated "dead land" to achieve his ambition to eliminate the vitality of the revolution and strangle the red regime from the root.
This has also become the largest and longest anti-encirclement and suppression in all the past, and lasted for a year. The military and civilians of the revolutionary base area were closely united, and continued to fight with the White Bandits with the belief of winning, which severely damaged multiple troops of the Kuomintang reactionaries and destroyed many enemy institutions. Of course, it also paid a very heavy price.
Due to many reasons such as scarcity of materials, backward equipment and shallow foundation, the anti-encirclement and suppression struggle ended in failure. The red regime, which was still young, came to a critical moment of life and death.
In order to get rid of this life-and-death situation, the Red Army decided to make a big move - the Long March!
As the saying goes, the sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high and the birds can fly! Break out of the enemy's constraints and make plans!
At that time, He Minren was underage. Knowing that there were many dangers, he followed the team without fear and embarked on the Long March!
Yes, more than a year of revolutionary life has shed his tenderness and weakness. Under the revolutionary influence in the team and the hard training since joining the army, he is no longer the old man who cares about food, clothing, housing and transportation and is restless in his heart.
It can be said that he is now a qualified Red Army soldier.
1934, in order to break through the numerous encirclements of the Kuomintang, the Red Army launched the "Crossing the Xiangjiang River" campaign on November 27. The soldiers sacrificed their lives and fought day and night. After five days of bloody battle, on December 1, the Red Army finally crossed the Xiangjiang River.
suffered heavy losses in this battle. After the 86,000 soldiers set out, only 30,000 were left after all the soldiers crossed the river.
Although the Red Army has not escaped the danger, and the Kuomintang pursued troops followed closely behind and frantically chased. The entire army was in a highly tense atmosphere, and the empty grain bag could not even pick up a grain of rice.
At this time, the Red Army was already in a very dangerous situation. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of being wiped out.
He Minren, he was only seventeen years old at the time, and he had the greatest appetite. When he was growing, he was also hungry, with his chest on his back. How could He Zizhen not feel sad when she watched her younger brother get thinner? But there was no way, she had no food.
The Red Army is a team that emphasizes fairness and justice. Although they are anxious, facing their hungry younger brother, even if she is Mao Zedong's wife, she will never give up a small job and do not make special contributions. Under such circumstances, facing his poor younger brother, He Zizhen could only shake his head and sigh.
He Minren, who was so hungry that he could only struggle day after day in the team.
I believe that many readers may have such doubts when they see this:
A benevolent and righteous army like the Red Army, wherever they go, not to mention food and jam, many villagers should also take the initiative to come and send some food and dry food. But after entering the Tibetan area, why did the Red Army go to the point of hunger? Sometimes the Red Army soldiers even took the initiative to buy some dry food, and the locals were far away, which made the Red Army soldiers both sad and puzzled.
How could they know that this was the extremely evil Kuomintang reactionaries used all their tricks.
It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek, who was good at "fighting in the nest" and engaging in political struggles, came up with the shameless trick of "scattering rumors and slandering". They took advantage of the fact that Tibetans had never contacted the Red Army and engaged in a "public opinion war" that they did not understand the Red Army's policies and discipline, spread leaflets, broadcast radio, and even used money and materials as temptation to bribe some local people who were obsessed with profits, so that they could come out to "speak out".
Under the description of the Kuomintang reactionaries turning black and white, the Red Army became the "Red Bandits" who robbed cattle and sheep, killed people and destroyed religions. How could the simple Tibetans who live in remote areas and have no news know the evil intentions contained in these remarks...
One day, He Minren, who was so hungry that he had no choice but to get into a small temple on the way. He thought, even if there was nothing else in the temple, at least there must be a lama! Are you still afraid of not having food in a place where there are people?
So he went into the temple, searched around, and wandered around, but there was no gain. The more he searched, the more he became, the more desperate he became. Because the worn clothes scattered all over the floor, the thick dust on the altars and the spider webs all over the statues convey a message: no one has lived here for a long time! Although
has been uninhabited for a long time, after searching around, he actually found a small bag of copper plate under the shrine!
He Minren knew that there was iron discipline in the Red Army. "Hidden three major disciplines and eight points to pay attention to " clearly stated that he should not take the masses one needle and one thread, but he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it. This child is not actually greedy. He only took a few copper coins and left most of them in their original place. God is pitiful, he just wanted to have a full meal.
At this time, what He Minren didn't know was that because he was young and careless, he offended many people in the army. Someone saw him accidentally playing with the copper plate of unknown origin, so the "three people become tigers" came to the ears of the leaders of the regiment headquarters, and it became "He Minren stole thousands of silver dollars from the Lama Temple".
brings time back to that day. He Minren just put away the copper plate and plans to find a chance to change some food. Before he could find a place for someone, he was held down and brought to the army leader.
zhang 2 monk He Minren was puzzled when he saw a few copper plates scattered on the table.
"Where did you get the money? Then there are more than a hundred pieces of money in a bag. Did you steal this money?"
Before He Minren could make a statement, the chief's stern voice rang out. He Minren, who thought that everything would be fine if he confessed and lenient, told the story all over and then knelt on the ground and waited for the defeat.
, the frank leaders not only did not ease, but instead became even more angry! The political commissar asked him:
"We received reports from others that you secretly hid thousands of silver dollars in the temple! Say! Where did you hide these silver dollars?"
Hearing this severe accusation, He Minren immediately shouted that he was wronged. Not to mention getting thousands of silver dollars, even hundreds of silver dollars are very heavy. How can he pick and be thin and malnourished? How can I hide these thousands of silver dollars in full view of everyone?
But since he has never taken the silver dollar at all, where did these rumors that are sarcastic and eye-catching come from? This is mentioned at the beginning of this chapter.
He Minren was wrongly accused of being really unreasonable. He made a "big mistake" and was tied up from top to bottom, waiting to be sent to the end. After
, He Minren's "hiding his own private affairs" and "lying" were passed down layer by layer, and the teacher leader also knew about it. After a meeting and discussion, in order to stabilize the internal forces and to win the trust of the local people, its division headquarters finally decided to execute He Minren with a gun shot.
He Minren, who learned the verdict, was unfair and desperate, but he did not choose to give up, but made his last effort to survive. He tried every means to contact a fellow villager in Yongxin County and wrote a letter to his sister to talk about this, hoping that his sister could save him.
Just as He Minren racked his brains to find ways to save himself, the division headquarters had already made the final decision.....
Some cadres believed that no matter what, He Renmin was a revolutionary soldier. Such a serious punishment as death penalty was reasonable and it was necessary to report this matter to the central government for a decision.Another group of cadres who hate evil advocate execution on the spot. They believe that Chairman Mao’s is notorious for being strict with himself. If he reports or not, he will not change the ending of this matter.
This is a big deal. For the sake of prudent considerations, the division headquarters decided to report the matter after research.
is astonishing. Since the message transmission could only be achieved by shooting telegrams at that time, and the telegram machine is very precious, so the message transmission speed is very slow. In order to stabilize and maintain the steel-like discipline of the Red Army, the leaders of the division headquarters were executed before the central government could reply.
After a few days, the central government’s approval of the matter “ suspended execution of ” was delivered, but the matter was irreversible.
He Zizhen was in sorrow when she learned about this, but the army's iron discipline could not allow her to say much. She is Chairman Mao's lover, and she must set an example in this regard. He Zizhen could only shed tears in her heart, helplessness.
Since joining the revolution, He Zizhen has been living with Chairman Mao in the rain of bullets and bullets. She is often exhausted, but what hits her even more than physically exhausted is the death of her brother and sister. Their departures one after another made her very sad. Two years after the incident was buried, Chairman Mao didn't know about it from He Zizhen until 1937.
After hearing the whole story, he immediately questioned the matter:
How can a small Lama temple be buried thousands of silver dollars? He also experienced the Long March himself. How difficult and hungry were there during the march? Where did he get the time and strength to hide such a large number of silver dollars? What's more, what does this thousand silver dollars mean? It is hard for a strong man to pick him up, let alone a child with a young age?
The more Chairman Mao thought about it, the more he felt strange it was.
In fact, He Zizhen also had doubts in her heart at the beginning: she naturally knew her younger brother very well. He just said that he was not forgiven and had a bad temper. He would never steal thousands of silver dollars.
But things have happened, and no matter what you do, you can't save your brother's life. In addition, at that time, the Long March of ,000 miles was experiencing the most important juncture. The rise and fall of the socialist revolution , and the life and death of tens of thousands of people were all tied to Chairman Mao! Whether for public or private, this matter should not be allowed to interfere with Chairman Mao’s important decisions!
He Zizhen, who was deeply considering the Party and the people, thought carefully and decided to give up pursuing this matter and bury the grief in his heart.
She also stopped Chairman Mao who was about to ask someone to check it out. She trembledly said:
"Forget it! It's been so long, let's put the overall situation first..."
Following He Zizhen's words, and it was He Minren who made a mistake first, Chairman Mao decided not to pursue the matter again. The mystery of
, which is full of fog in the village, is concluded and will not be mentioned again.
The true complete freedom lies in complete control of yourself. At that time, He Minren made a mistake because of a single thought, and paid a much greater price than the mistake he made under by chance.
But sometimes life is like this. There are some mistakes in principle, and there is no chance to correct them when you know them.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of this steel-like military rule and the great spirit of leaders looking at the overall situation, considering the country, the people and the collective, that the Communist Party of China can overcome all difficulties and achieve comprehensive victory in the later arduous struggle.
