Who would have thought that this principal was actually one of the founding generals later...

Xu Dehua and Zou Jinghua 's marriage was decided

1921, Xu Dehua was 13 years old.

Who is Xu Dehua? In fact, Xu Dehua was the later Xu Guangda. But from the beginning, Xu Guangda always had the name Xu Dehua.

This year, Xu Dehua was admitted to the Changsha Normal School founded by Xu Teli. Xu Teli was once Chairman Mao’s mentor and his teaching was very strict, so Xu Dehua also studied very hard, hoping to complete and graduate like Chairman Mao.

It turns out that The elders of the Zou family have a strong sense of clan power. They insist on combining the declining families of more than 40 people together to live together, hoping to create a feeling of living in the same family for four generations.

But it is not easy to separate, let alone together?

So the Zou family became increasingly declining, and Zou Xilu, who was in power, had no choice but to retreat and give it to his cousin.

This cousin is a cruel and vicious mind, and he prefers boys over girls. He thinks that girls stay at home just to have a meal and must get the girl out of the house, otherwise the family will become more and more declining.

Zou Xilu

So, my cousin sold Zou Xilu's two daughters. After Zou Xilu learned about it, she didn't know how to do it, but she just cried. His wife died of illness because she couldn't stand the blow.

The death of his wife made Zou Xilu very sad and said that he would not agree to sell his daughter again. In the end, the remaining daughter, named Zou Jinghua, stayed.

However, staying, the problem of eating in is still a problem. In order to keep his daughter alive, Zou Xilu thought of Xu Dehua. Xu Dehua was also 14 or 5. It was time to get married. So Zou Xilu went to Xu Dehua's house and proposed to Xu's father, and Xu's father agreed.

Just like that, the marriage between Xu Dehua and Zou Jinghua was settled.

After the two got married, they had no news for many years

Zou Jinghua nodded and asked what school to go to Yan'an. Mr. Xu said he would go to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, which is commonly known as Anti-Da .

Xu Teli

So, in 1938, Zou Jinghua decided to defect to Yan'an. Yan'an learned that Zou Jinghua was recommended by Mr. Xu, and was very enthusiastic and quickly prepared everything for Zou Jinghua.

Unexpectedly, an unexpected surprise arose quietly at this time!

One night, Zou Jinghua had just finished his work. While preparing the learning materials, he was chatting with his comrades. At this moment, a young soldier walked in and said that someone was looking for Zou Jinghua.

Zou Jinghua asked who was looking for her? The young soldier said that it was the education director who looked for her. After that, a man walked in, and other comrades also began to introduce that this was Xu Guangda, the principal of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University.

Before the comrades could finish their introduction, Xu Guangda was already in tears and walked towards Zou Jinghua, crying and saying that you are my wife. Zou Jinghua finally recognized Xu Guangda at this time. Although he had not seen him for many years, it was right. This man was the husband she had been thinking about day and night!

Hearing Xu Guangda's explanation, everyone understood the difficulties of the couple, and some female comrades were also a little disappointed.

It turns out that no one has known Xu Guangda’s marriage, so many people always think that Xu Guangda is single. In addition, Xu Guangda returned from studying in the Soviet Union, and he has eaten foreign bread and seen the world. Therefore, many female comrades admired Xu Guangda.

Now, everyone has given up this idea.

It is worth mentioning that the story of Xu Guangda and Zou Jinghua’s reunion has also become a good story in the army. arranged a marriage, separated for 10 years, and now we have to meet again. What a touching story this is!

Zou Jinghua was also flattered. She had heard Mr. Xu talk about Chairman Mao for his favorite student. Chairman Mao also asked about Mr. Xu's situation. When she learned that everything was fine, everyone finally felt relieved.

The reunion of the couple brought strong support to each other.

In the later battles, Xu Guangda fought in the front, while Zou Jinghua managed the rear. The cooperation between the couple made the whole army envious.
