General Peng Xuefeng's wife Lin Ying's love story for a lifetime (Part 1)
—— Romantic love between General Peng Xuefeng and Lin Ying in the anti-Japanese war
Peng Xuefeng is a senior general of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the New Fourth Army. He is a military strategist with both moral integrity and talent, wisdom and courage, and civil and military. Mao Zedong and the older generation of revolutionaries once praised him as a good example for the heroes of the Chinese nation and Communists.
1936 Peng Xuefeng was in Taiyuan for united front work in Yan Xishan
Red Army During the period, he led his troops to participate in anti-encirclement and suppression , captured Loushanguan , and took Zunyi City directly. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he led the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army to fight in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu, and successively established the Fuxiao Daily, Fuxiao Opera Troupe, and the Cavalry Corps to expand the base area, kill the enemy and win, and gained a reputation. During this period, Peng Xuefeng got an unexpected gain, that is, he married Lin Ying in his heart.
On September 11, 1944, Peng Xuefeng led the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army to die heroically in the battle against the enemy at the age of 37. Given that Peng Xuefeng has extraordinary influence in the army and base areas, and also considering the troops' subsequent combat needs, the news of Peng Xuefeng's death was not immediately announced, nor was it informed that his wife Lin Ying, who was pregnant with Liujia. In order to allow Lin Ying to produce with peace of mind, the leaders of the Fourth Division sent telegrams to Lin Ying four times in the name of Peng Xuefeng.
A few months later, Lin Ying successfully gave birth to a baby boy at Huanghuatang Hospital in the New Fourth Army Department of Huainan, named Peng Xiaofeng. The Chief of Staff of the New Fourth Army, Lai Chuanzhu, , and the Political Commissar of the Fourth Division, Deng Zihui, came to Lin Ying's residence together. After seeing Xiao Feng who was sobbing on the bed, Deng Zihui couldn't help but choked up and said, "Comrade Lin Ying, you have to hold on... Xiao Feng can't see his father!" Before he finished speaking, Deng Zihui was already crying.
This sudden blow was like a bolt from the blue for Lin Ying, and she couldn't help crying. Deng Zihui comforted her and said, "All the comrades in the army are mourning Commander Xue Feng. Please take care of me! Comrade Xue Feng is gone, but he has successors, so he must pull Xue Feng's flesh and blood. This is the best memory of Xue Feng..."
Maybe the four words "successors" awakened Lin Ying. She sobbed and said, "Don't worry, political commissar, I will do it..." In the dizziness of extreme grief, Lin Ying had hallucinations, as if her husband had not sacrificed, and they returned to the sweet past...
Peng Xuefeng established a base in Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu to lead troops to resist the Japanese army
Lin Ying's original name is Zhou Yuqun, 13 years younger than Peng Xuefeng. She was born in 1920 in a wealthy family of president of the Xiangfan Chamber of Commerce in Hubei. With a strong personality, she accepted the idea of democracy, patriotism and resistance to aggression in middle school, and her heart was full of revolutionary passion. In order to resist the old marriage arranged for her by her parents, she escaped from her home in order to participate in the revolution. He immediately joined the vanguard of the Chinese National Liberation Team, and joined the Communist Party of China three months later, changing the name to "Lin Ying".
In early November 1939, Lin Ying and a group of passionate young people arrived at from Zhugou Teaching Brigade to Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu anti-Japanese base . Shortly after arriving, Peng Xuefeng, who was the commander of of the Fourth Column of the Eighth Route Army at the time, held a banquet to meet these revolutionary young people. Several of the girls were particularly eye-catching, and the generous and lively Lin Ying was even more eye-catching. This was the first time that Peng and Lin met. Peng Xuefeng's brief and wonderful welcome speech left a deep impression on Lin Ying. Peng Xuefeng also remembered this girl with big eyes and cheerful personality.
However, it seemed that it was God's intentional arrangement. One night in May 1941, Peng Xuefeng led his troops to secretly cross the Jinpu Road and pass through Huaibao County (now incorporated into Huai'an City ). As the county party committee’s women’s minister, Lin Ying naturally took on part of the welcoming work. Peng Xuefeng walked up to Lin Ying and shook hands with her. Lin Ying, who had always admired Peng Xuefeng, saw the resolute and handsome Peng Xuefeng again. This second meeting further left a deeper impression on each other.
Peng Xuefeng was already past his thirties, but he was still alone. At first, he had aroused the concerns of his Nankai alumni Zhou Enlai and Deng Yingchao. In May 1940, Deng Yingchao, who was far away in Chongqing, wrote a letter to Peng Xuefeng, proposing to be a "matchmaker" for him. But Peng Xuefeng, who was devoted to work, declined Deng Yingchao in his reply: "I solemnly declare to my elder sister that my personal problems have not been solved and I do not plan to solve them." He likes to use the words " Huns to express his belief in devoted himself to the revolution.
Peng Xuefeng, commander of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army,
In early September 1941, Peng Xuefeng was already 34 years old, and now he is a "older young man". Under the reminder of the leaders Liu Zijiu and Liu Ruilong, Peng Xuefeng immediately remembered the Lin Ying who was lingering in her voice, appearance and smile.
When he heard that Lin Ying was willing to know him first in order to determine whether the two parties were suitable, he immediately wrote the first letter to Lin Ying in Huaibao County on September 4.
In his first sentence, he said that we have known each other for two years behind enemy lines, so we don’t feel that it is sudden. Then he expressed his standards for his ideal partner: "The comrade in my heart, her party spirit, character and talent should be pure, loyal, firm and generous."
Lin Ying was both surprised and excited when she received the letter. Her admiration for Peng Xuefeng's handsome appearance, unconventional temperament and outstanding eloquence continued to deepen as she understood Peng Xuefeng more and more. When Liu Zijiu and Liu Ruilong said they wanted to introduce her to Peng Xuefeng, she was a little worried that marrying a teacher would affect her original work. She promised to learn about it first, but at the same time she also expressed that she had firm confidence in their success.
Peng Xuefeng and Lin Ying tied the knot
September 6, Peng Xuefeng immediately responded in the letter: "I will always remember your words: with firm confidence in victory." At the same time, he also expressed his understanding of Lin Ying's concerns and supported her to continue working as a local women's work.
1941 September 24, Autumn was clear and cool. This day was a happy day for Peng Xuefeng and Lin Ying. In the afternoon, everyone congratulated the battlefield couple who were both virtuous, talented and beautiful, while Peng Xuefeng used his allowance and royalties to buy some candy and cigarettes, and enthusiastically welcomed the visitors. The newlyweds were filled with infinite happiness.
The third day after marriage, Lin Ying returned to her job. Peng Xuefeng quickly wrote a letter of lovesickness to Lin Ying.
"Ying: It's only been three days since we parted, it seems that it's already been three months... People say that I'm a person with rich feelings. In the past, I've been a little strange recently. The shadow of a person can't be relieved from morning to night! Outsiders know, it's really funny!..."

In his letter, he told Lin Ying that in this month's battle, they won two battles between Yanghe and Chengdaokou. He said, "These 'two victories' are the most beautiful memory of our marriage."

Peng Xuefeng wrote 92 letters to Lin Ying. The most common letters are to exchange ideas and encourage reading. He said, "Bullying one's head and then burying one's head, studying hard, studying hard, and studying hard." No matter how tight the battle is, he insists on reading every day and encourages Lin Ying to formulate a reading plan and read widely.
After Peng Xuefeng's sacrifice, Lin Ying once recalled affectionately: "In order to express my infinite longing for him, I often take out the letter he wrote to me and read it carefully.At this time, I seemed to have returned to that time of hardship, hardship, but very happy era..."
