Peng Xuefeng
On September 11, 1944, Peng Xuefeng, commander of the 4th Division of the 4th Division of the New Fourth Army and commander of the Huaibei Military Region, was ordered to lead the troops to encircle and annihilate the stubborn army Li Guangming Detachment in Balizhuang, Dongbalizhuang, Xiayi, Henan Province, and the battle to encircle and annihilate the stubborn army Li Guangming Detachment in Balizhuang, Dongxiayi, Henan Province is coming to an end.
After a few days, the Fourth Division had wiped out a squadron of the stubborn army, capturing more than a thousand people including the commander of the detachment, Li Guangming, and his subordinates.
Everyone was very excited. After a rough check of the situation, someone ran to report to Peng Xuefeng who was present at the scene.
Just at this moment, an stray bullet hit Peng Xuefeng's left chest. Before everyone could react, Peng Xuefeng's tall body had fallen down.
Although everyone quickly found a health officer, Peng Xuefeng died of excessive blood loss.
Peng Xuefeng and Lin Ying
He has just turned 37 years old. Lin Ying, whose wife, who has been married for less than 3 years, is pregnant at this time.
For strategic and tactical considerations, the superior blocked the news. So, when Lin Ying learned of the news of her husband's death, it was already January 1945.
2 In February, Peng Xuefeng and Lin Ying’s son was born. In order to commemorate her husband, Lin Ying named the child Peng Xiaofeng.
Reviewing the marriage life with Peng Xuefeng, Lin Ying found that the two have been together for less than half a year. Therefore, writing letters has become the best way to communicate between husband and wife.
In less than three years, Peng Xuefeng wrote 87 letters to his wife. And with Peng Xuefeng's eternal departure, these letters became witnesses to their love.
And the beginning of their marriage was precisely because of a letter.
Peng Xiaofeng
September 9, 1907, Peng Xuefeng was born in a poor peasant family in Qilizhuang, Zhenping County, Nanyang City, Henan Province.
html When he was 04 years old, he began to read and read with his grandfather Peng Rulan, who taught his private school. Although he is young, Peng Xuefeng always understands the books he is taught by his grandfather. My grandfather always touched his head lovingly and praised him for his intelligence.Later, Peng Xuefeng was a companion for the children of wealthy families in a private school opened by his uncle Peng Yanqing.
read the name with a companion sounds nice, but in fact it is a plaything to accompany those rich young men to relieve their boredom. The rich young men were happy, maybe they could give one or two benefits. Once the rich young master is unhappy, he will naturally suffer the consequences first.
Peng Xuefeng was repeatedly beaten because he was not in line with the thoughts of a rich young master when he was a companion to others.
He was a little bit unable to understand why all of them were children of similar age, so why did there be such differences and injustice?
Nankai Middle School
14 years old, Peng Xuefeng came to Tianjin alone, defected to his uncle Peng Yanqing, who taught here, and successfully passed the Nankai Middle School.
That should be Peng Xuefeng’s happiest time. You don’t have to worry about food, clothing and livelihood, you can also wander in the sea of books with all your heart.
In addition to studying, eating and sleeping, Peng Xuefeng spent all his time in the library.
"If you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are prosperous, you will be able to help the world." This is what my grandfather often says. He has been a companion for rich children and is so eager for new knowledge and hopes that he will become stronger quickly.
It’s a pity that before he had time to become stronger, bad luck came again.
Peng Xuefeng
The school he studied was moved to the southern suburbs of Beijing and renamed "Yude Middle School ", but my uncle could no longer continue to fund him due to financial reasons.
No one sponsors means that Peng Xuefeng cannot continue studying in this school. But at his current level, even if he enters society, he is not able to support himself.
When Peng Xuefeng was at a loss, Principal Yu Xinqing extended a helping hand to him.
After several years of getting along, Yu Xinqing saw the diligence and hard work of this child. Therefore, he really couldn't bear to bury such an extremely intelligent young man.
Yu Xinqing arranged for Peng Xuefeng to be a Chinese teacher in the primary school department of the school. In this way, Peng Xuefeng can earn a salary of 10 yuan a month. Only with this money can Peng Xuefeng continue to complete his studies.
"Communist Manifesto"
1925, Peng Xuefeng began to come into contact with "New Youth" and "Communist Manifesto".
During the reading process, he found that all his previous confusions could be found here. So he spent more time and energy on studying and researching progressive books and magazines.
" May 3 Massacre " broke out, Peng Xuefeng, who had found his life goal, stepped forward. He organized the students and the school to fight and win. On this basis, they established the Yude Middle School Student Autonomous Association. Peng Xuefeng was elected as president.
8, according to someone's introduction, Peng Xuefeng joined the Communist Youth League. The following year, he successfully joined the Communist Party of China and officially joined the revolution.
At the beginning, Peng Xuefeng was sent by the organization to carry out military transportation and agricultural transportation. With a solid theoretical foundation and flexible and changeable working methods, Peng Xuefeng can always complete all tasks assigned by the organization. Soon, he was transferred to the army to work as a political commissar.
Because of his outstanding performance in Changsha Battle , Peng Xuefeng was promoted to the political commissar of the 6th Division of the 8th Army of the newly adapted Red 3rd Army.
Post-Red 3 Corps and Chairman Mao’s Red 1 Corps met in Yonghe, Liuyang to form the 1st Front Army of the Red Army. Since then, Peng Xuefeng has been making countless contributions under the leadership of Chairman Mao.
Peng Xuefeng
During the Long March of 25,000 miles, Peng Xuefeng led his troops as the pioneer troops to cross the Chishui River twice, conquered Loushanguan , and opened up the path for the safe transfer of the main force.
In the third, fourth and fifth anti-encirclement and suppression wars he participated in, Peng Xuefeng led the way and made great achievements repeatedly, smashing the enemy's conspiracy again and again. After the outbreak of
Anti-Japanese War , Peng Xuefeng actively responded to the party’s call and applied the flexible and changeable guerrilla warfare to the extreme.
While fighting against the enemy, Peng Xuefeng also did not forget to improve the combat capabilities of the soldiers.
He founded the camp school and threatened that "the school will do wherever the war goes." Call on soldiers to learn while producing.
In order to better publicize the party’s policies and policies, Peng Xuefeng also founded " Dawn ". The word "dawn" was taken by him, which means that light will eventually come.
"Dawn"
After the "South Anhui Incident", , The Fourth Column of the Eighth Route Army was reorganized into the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army. Peng Xuefeng served as the division commander and continued to fight against the enemy.
It was this year that Peng Xuefeng met his life's love - Lin Ying.
In fact, the two of them had had an intersection as early as the welcoming banquet of the passionate young people who devoted themselves to the revolution two years ago. However, at that time, neither of them had any intention of treating each other as their lover.
In Lin Ying's eyes, Peng Xuefeng is a talented leader, who is as talented as a god, and is elegant and generous.
In Peng Xuefeng's mind, Lin Ying is a lively, cheerful, independent and brave girl,
Lin Ying is of course brave enough. She came from a capitalist family and dared to abandon her family and past for her ideals, which is very admirable.
Peng Xuefeng
Lin Ying, original name Zhou Yuqun, later changed his name to Zhou Yuqiong. In 1920, she was born in a capitalist family in Hubei
Fancheng .
12 years old. My father died of illness. She grew up under her mother's upbringing.
Although she was sent to school, her mother was a very conservative person at heart. In her eyes, finding a good family to marry is the best destination for a girl.
But Lin Ying simply disagrees with such old ideas. She pursues freedom and equality, and feels that girls and boys can do everything.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Ying was angry at the various crimes of the Japanese invaders, and Lin Ying dared to take to the streets to participate in the demonstrations.
Lin Ying even rehearsed civilized dramas with her classmates to expose the atrocities of the Japanese devils and awaken the people. During
, the students clashed with the gendarmerie, and Lin Ying was almost injured.
Student parade
Now, my mother couldn't sit still. She was so cruel that she sent her daughter to the countryside to take care of her. I started looking for a suitable family for my daughter.
How can Lin Ying, who advocates freedom, be willing to hand over his destiny to others? So, with the help of her classmates, she escaped from her original home.
Lin Ying, who escaped from her family, seemed to finally fly into the blue sky, without any worries. From then on, she devoted herself to the anti-Japanese torrent.
In this process, she joined the Communist Party of China and participated in the Second Cultural Team of the Cultural Work Committee led by Qian Junrui. After the cultural team was disbanded, she came to the New Fourth Army's left-behind office.
Qian Junrui
Generally, girls like Lin Ying will be assigned to art troupes or infirmaries, but Lin Ying is unwilling to enjoy such preferential treatment. She took the initiative to ask to go to the grassroots level to work in women .
In Lin Ying's heart, only in this way can he use what he has learned to practice.
, but she didn't expect that she would meet her true love here.
Peng Xuefeng
Peng Xuefeng was in his thirties at this time, and both the army leaders and the central leaders were very concerned about his personal issues.
For this reason, Peng Xuefeng wrote a letter to Deng Yingchao in 1940: "I solemnly declare to my elder sister that my personal problem has not been solved. The vast sky is vast, and I am not comfortable to be alone? I am old, I am old!"
Although that is the case, those who know Peng Xuefeng know that he is not unwilling to look for it, he just doesn't have time to find the partner in his mind, but he is just unwilling to settle it.
So, the task of helping Peng Xuefeng find a partner fell on the shoulders of Liu Zijiu, Secretary of the Huaibei District Party Committee, and Liu Ruilong, Director of the Administrative Office.
After a period of investigation and observation, both of them thought Lin Ying was good. So they told Peng Xuefeng and the others what they thought.
Peng Xuefeng and Lin Ying
When they first heard their suggestions, Peng Xuefeng felt that these two people were just making a fuss. Not to mention the difference in family background, just talking about the age difference between the two people at the age of 13 is not an easy gap to cross.
Liu Ruilong has experience in this. He did not say that the age difference between the two was not a problem, he just told Peng Xuefeng in detail about the process of Lin Ying's participation in the revolution.
This trick worked really well. Peng Xuefeng, after listening to Lin Ying's experience, was suddenly deeply attracted by this girl.
Peng Xuefeng and Lin Ying
So, on September 4, 1941, Lin Ying, then the Women's Minister of Huaibao County Party Committee, received a handwritten letter from Peng Xuefeng.
Peng Xuefeng thanked comrades Liu Zijiu and Liu Ruilong for their kindness and expressed his intention to date Lin Ying.
Although Lin Ying knew from Liu Ruilong that the organization was interested in matching him and Peng Xuefeng, Lin Ying was surprised when he suddenly received his letter.
Single conditional, Peng Xuefeng is definitely a very qualified husband candidate. He can kill enemies with a gun, write articles with a pen, has outstanding military achievements and is very friendly.
But what Lin Ying is worried about is that once she falls in love with such an excellent man, she will give up her principles without any bottom line and eventually become a vassal of a man. She doesn't want to do this.
However, Lin Ying was reluctant to let her give up such an excellent man.
After hesitating for two days, Lin Ying finally made up her mind.
In her reply, she agreed to establish a relationship, but at the same time solemnly stated that after marriage, Peng Xuefeng was not allowed to interfere in her work for any reason.
When Lin Ying received a reply from her agreement to establish a relationship, Peng Xuefeng was extremely happy and immediately wrote a reply to Lin Ying. In the reply, Peng Xuefeng, Peng , solemnly promised to respect all the decisions made by Lin Ying.
In addition, Peng Xuefeng also wrote: "9, which has special significance to me... And in September 1941, my lifelong affairs were resolved. This is called coincidence. "
Happiness came so suddenly, and Peng Xuefeng couldn't believe it.
That's it. On September 24, 1941, Peng Xuefeng and Lin Ying held a simple wedding.
Peng Xuefeng’s home letter
The third day after marriage, Lin Ying returned to her job. Although Peng Xuefeng was reluctant to leave, he always kept his promises.Gradually, he began to like to express his emotions with letters.
So, in later life, reading letters sent by Peng Xuefeng became the most relaxed and comfortable thing for Lin Ying.
A little trivial matters in life, an idea that occasionally arises in my mind, a battle I just won, a longing for my wife, a longing for the future... Everything he can think of will appear in the letter written by Peng Xuefeng.
has been written for three years.
He would remind Lin Ying to pay attention to her health, complain that the letter she wrote to herself was "too simple", and would remind her to pay attention to political awareness at all times and everywhere...
At that time, Lin Ying only felt that being chanted like this was a sweet torture. She deliberately delayed the brief and story of the reply for a day or two before sending it out, and then imagined her husband's expression and mood when he received the letter, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
She never thought it would be too late.
"General Peng Xuefeng's Family Letter"
From September 1941 to July 1944, Peng Xuefeng wrote 87 "love letters" to Lin Ying. After his sacrifice, these love letters became all the spiritual sustenance of Lin Ying.
When it was late at night, when people were quiet, Lin Ying always felt that Peng Xuefeng was still commanding the battle on the front line, and maybe one day it would appear in front of him and his children.
If she had known that a happy life was so short, she would have spoken out her love like Peng Xuefeng.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to make Lin Ying and her son live a better life, Premier Zhou specially transferred her to Dalian to work.
After Lin Ying came to Dalian, she focused all her thoughts on her work and children.
Seeing that she is young and it is too hard to take care of her children alone, the organization advised her to remarry many times and arranged for some comrades to meet Lin Ying. But Lin Ying always refused without even saying a word.
Malaysia and Legal
Malaysia and Legal came to Lin Ying in this way. He was moved by Lin Ying's strength, silently guarding the mother and son, and spared no effort to help them.
After a long time, Lin Ying was also moved by the true feelings of Marxism and Lenin. When Premier Zhou came to persuade Lin Ying to consider her personal issues again, she finally let go.
1948, the two finally got together.
After marriage, Marx and Lin Ying took good care of Peng Xiaofeng together.
Peng Xuefeng has always been a special existence in their home. Everyone will always mention everything about Peng Xuefeng naturally, and Marxism-Leninism will even tell Peng Xiaofeng his father's battle story.
1963, Peng Xiaofeng was admitted to Harbin Military Engineering College . After graduating from college, he has been serving in the army. In June 2006, Peng Xiaofeng was promoted to the rank of general.
Lin Ying and Marxism-Lenin later had a daughter. A happy and happy family life.
In 2015 and 2018, the two died one after another.
Someone once asked Peng Xiaofeng how he viewed Marxism-Leninism. His answer was very concise: " The grace of raising a child will never be forgotten for life! "
In 1995, Lin Ying compiled 87 "love letters" written by Peng Xuefeng to himself into "Peng Xuefeng's Family Letters" published.
On September 10, 2009, Peng Xuefeng was named "100 heroic and model figures who have made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China ".
Peng Xuefeng Memorial Hall
In 2014, the Peng Xuefeng Memorial Hall in Zhenping was listed as the first batch of "National List of Anti-Japanese War Sites" by the State Council.
On both sides of the door of the hall were elegy couplets written by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1945 to mourn General Peng Xuefeng: " is for the nation and for the masses, and has worked hard for twenty years to survive and live, and has made contributions to the motherland; fight against Japan and fight against traitors, millions of compatriots are free and equal, and are surrounded by Changhuai. "
In front of the memorial hall, Peng Xuefeng's statue stands with his hands behind his back and looks into the distance.
believes that this prosperous era will eventually be as prosperous as he wishes.
