In the turbulent and turbulent revolutionary era, personal feelings and marriages are often shattered by the tide of the times. How many people are separated from flesh and blood, countless people who love and depend on each other mourn and leave, and it is more of a quick glance that there is no time to see each other.
There is such a woman who has waited for decades for the return of the general, and has waited for her entire life but failed to hope for the return of the king.
In Xingguo, Jiangxi in 1914, a pretty girl was born from a poor farm family. The girl was named Lai Mingyue. Like all daughters born in poor peasants, she had no status in the family. She was sold by her parents to become the child bride of a rich family when she was very young. At that time, she was only fourteen years old, and her in-laws gave her all the heavy housework in the family. In that era, the child bride-in-law was half a servant.
Fortunately, Lai Yueming's luck is better than other child brides-in-laws. His father accidentally made a small fortune and ransomed her back. As a child bride, Lai Yueming fully appreciates the suffering in the world. After the outbreak of the Agrarian Revolution, Lai Yueming, who had a history of oppression, joined the Women's Ministry to solve women's issues and contributed to the liberation of more women.
With excellent and positive work results, Lai Yueming was recommended by the organization in 1932 to go to Ruijin Normal University for further study. That was her most beautiful eighteen years old. She was studying cultural knowledge in school. It was a rare thing that a rural girl became a college student in that era.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The fourth encirclement and suppression campaign launched by the Kuomintang reactionaries broke Lai Yueming's dream of learning, and the school was forced to close during the war. It was also a blessing in disguise. Lai Yueming, who had excellent grades at school, got the opportunity to work in the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee. It was this precious work experience that made her and her husband Chen Yi meet.
After the soldiers of the Red Army successfully broke through the fourth encirclement and suppression of Chiang Kai-shek’s army, the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee organized personnel to sympathize with the frontline soldiers. With a natural voice, Lai Yueming volunteered to go to the front and sing for the soldiers.
Lai Yueming’s arrived,It brought a lot of comfort and joy to the nervous Red Army soldiers. Her liveliness and cheerfulness attracted Chen Yi's attention. Therefore, when Lai Yueming was playing with someone, Chen Yi recognized her, struck up a conversation with her, and praised her for having a good voice. Lai Yueming kept ignoring him, and Chen Yi smiled and joked with her, saying that she was from Jiangxi and looked like a snail girl.
Lai Yueming sneered at each other, saying that he has a heavy accent as a Sichuan guy, and he can't even say a good thing. Everyone present laughed. Since then, the two have forged an indissoluble bond, and the relationship has gradually become closer.
The people around you can see that they are good, Chen Yi's boss is not young, Lai Yueming is also a big adult girl, so I just started to match the two of them, wanting them to achieve a happy marriage as soon as possible.
In 1932, on the occasion of Chongyang , General Chen Yi and Lai Yueming finally entered the marriage hall. Lai Yueming finally got her wish and married the hero in her mind.
The married life of the two did not go through a long period of tranquility, but was broken by the flames of war. The defeat of the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in 1934 forced the Red Army to start the Long March. General Chen Yi was responsible for the task of covering the transfer of the main force and leading the troops to engage in guerrilla warfare with the enemy. Lai Yueming did not leave him either, still staying in Jiangxi, but the two separated during the war, and they disappeared before saying goodbye.
For many years, Lai Yueming has been struggling to find her husband's whereabouts. In order to prevent the enemy from being arrested, she went incognito and walked all over the mountains and rivers. This kind of searching and waiting, I didn't expect it to be dozens of years. It was not until the 1980s that anyone found Lai Yueming. At this time, General Chen Yi had passed away, and Lai Yueming was already in his seventies.
A parting, never thought it would be a lifetime parting. Such heart-breaking hopes and expectations have only been exchanged for the tomb of the general. Lai Yueming's lifelong pursuit had whereabouts, but only gave her endless emptiness. In that era, there were so many involuntary parting stories left, and those scars could only be gradually forgotten by the world along with history.
