Someone once said: All women who are miserable in the world just take "love" too seriously and take themselves too lightly.
In 1948, with the help of the people, the People's Liberation Army won the Huaihai War.
At that time, we captured many senior Kuomintang generals. Among them, there was a general named Huang Wei. He was the commander of the 12th Corps and was highly regarded by Chiang Kai-shek . After
was captured by our army, he was still unwilling to accept our party's advanced ideas and educational reform, and remained stubborn. This also made him one of the last batch of amnesty prisoners to be released from prison in 1975.
Huang Wei’s actions aside, it did hurt his wife.
After Huang Wei was captured, his wife Cai Ruoshu supported the whole family with her small shoulders, and raised the children with painstaking efforts alone.
But the ending was very bleak. When she waited hard for her husband to be released from prison, she only received a cold look from her husband. From black hair to gray hair, the reunion that they had longed for for 27 years only resulted in the husband's words: "Get out!"
This became the last straw that overwhelmed the wife. Finally, on a deserted night, she took advantage of the opportunity. Under the moonlight, I jumped into the river only ten miles away from my home, and died happily.
1.
In 1904, Huang Wei was born in an ordinary family in Jiangxi. His father died when he was young. His mother supported the family alone and lived a very difficult life.
Although his father died early, he was greatly influenced by his father. This made him extremely paranoid, and it was difficult for anyone to change anything he thought was right.
Since he was a child, he believed that reading can change his destiny, so he studied hard and was admitted to a normal university with excellent results. After graduation, he returned to his hometown and became a primary school teacher.
When he was young, he was very disgusted with the local wealthy people, thinking that they were too bully and oppressed the poor local people. Once, he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up and defended the poor, but he was resented by the rich.
For this reason, he had to leave his hometown and avoid the limelight for a while. In order to strengthen himself,
had the idea of joining the army.
On the way to escape, he met his good friend Fang Zhimin. With his help, he also met the head of the underground provincial party committee of Jiangxi Province. With constant recommendations, he successfully entered Huangpu Military Academy and became a member of the Huangpu Military Academy. of the first batch of students.
Not to mention, Huang Wei does have a high level of military understanding. In Huangpu Military Academy, his grades were very good, leaving many of his classmates behind.
During the brief period when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, he led his troops to participate in the Northern Expedition and was ordered to defeat Sun Chuanfang and other warlords. In the war, he was brave, resourceful and well-commanded, and gradually distinguished himself.
As a result, he was entrusted with important tasks. With his military talents, his future was bound to be limitless.
In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, and the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party deteriorated. Senior military talents studying at Huangpu Military Academy had to make their own choice.
Huang Wei finally chose the National Government.
After the selection, Chiang Kai-shek was very happy and quickly appointed him as the commander of the 31st Brigade. Due to his outstanding military exploits, Huang Wei also rose through the ranks.
In 1932, Huang Wei, who was only 34 years old, was appointed commander of the 18th Army of Chiang Kai-shek's army.
In 1933, Huang Wei led his army to carry out counter-encirclement and suppression campaign against the Red Army . The Red Army resisted heroically, and with proper command at the time, relying on the steep terrain in the mountains, the Red Army first lured the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, and then divided them into to annihilate them.
This left Huang Wei with nothing to do and he was defeated. Originally in the Kuomintang army, he had profound military attainments, but he was helpless after encountering the Red Army.
Those Kuomintang generals wrote articles to impeach Huang Wei. At that time, his superiors were already suspicious of him. After being demoted, he was ordered to retreat to the defense.
In 1937, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated again. At this time, Huang Wei was once again entrusted with important tasks. He was promoted to the commander of the 67th Division of the 18th Army and went to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. After the Battle of Songhu started, he was responsible for guarding Luodian.
In Luodian, Huang Wei encountered a surprise attack by the enemy. When the enemy was outnumbered, we calmly commanded on the front line and defended Luodian.
Because Huang Wei successfully defended Luodian, he laid a solid foundation for the subsequent victory in the Battle of Songhu.
This battle was also extremely tragic. The entire division that was stationed in Luodian at that time had less than one regiment left after the victory. Even the cooks in the rear picked up their swords and guns and went to the front line to fight and fight the enemy to the end.
This bloody battle made Huang Wei famous and established a firm foothold in the Kuomintang government.
Huang Wei, who has been rising up in the officialdom, has become the target of many women in daily life.
2.
At that time, his hometown found an arranged marriage for him. In order not to disappoint his family, he followed his family's instructions and married his first wife Gui Xianmei when he was a primary school teacher in his hometown.
However, Gui Xianmei is a woman with deep-rooted traditional ideas. Her eyes are only on the one-third of an acre of land in front of her. For Huang Wei, she cannot be his soul mate.
When she went to Huangpu Military Academy to study, Gui Xianmei stayed in her hometown to take care of Huang Wei's mother and raise their newborn child. After
, Huang Wei was in Whampoa Military Academy, but he never returned to his hometown to visit his wife. Because he didn't know how to face his first wife. He understood that two people with completely different concepts were destined to be unable to get far apart, but what about the child she gave birth to?
By some mistake, he met the officer's daughter Zhao Zeyun. Zhao Zeyun was young and beautiful, and had advanced ideas at the time, making Huang Wei unforgettable at first sight.
He launched a crazy pursuit of Zhao Zeyun, and the two soon fell in love. In the eyes of outsiders, they are a pair of "golden boys and beautiful girls", who are envious of others.
As the relationship deepened, Huang Wei confessed his family situation to Zhao Zeyun. After learning that Huang Wei had his first wife and a child, Zhao Zeyun didn't know how to deal with it.
She didn't want to become a third party, let alone interfere with other people's marriages. After some thought, she decided to leave.
Later, at a dance, Huang Wei met Cai Weixin again. Cai Weixin was also the daughter of an officer, with a distinguished status. She was swaying and looking forward to the dance, and there were many generals who chased her crazily at the dance. But she only fell in love with Huang Wei, who was tepid to her from afar.
At that time, Huang Wei was 29 years old and Cai Weixin was 17 years old. Because of his previous love experience, Huang Wei had many scruples about love. Facing the passionate Cai Weixin, he always avoided it, worrying that he would not be able to bear the responsibilities after falling in love.
However, Cai Weixin's love is vigorous and unscrupulous. In order to get Huang Wei to give an answer, she dressed in gorgeous clothes and stopped the vehicle that Huang Wei was about to get out of: "You must give me an answer today. I love you very much! I will go crazy without you!"
This made Huang Wei Wei was stunned. Such a confession touched Huang Wei's heart.
The two confirmed their relationship and soon lived together. Soon after, Cai Weixin became pregnant, and the two families began to talk about marriage. At this time, Huang Wei confessed to Cai Weixin that he had his first wife in his hometown and had children under his knees.
Cai Weixin was very angry after hearing this, but because of her deep love, she still chose to accept it. Huang Wei felt deeply sorry for Cai Weixin, so he returned to his hometown and asked for a divorce from his first wife.
After nearly ten years of separation, Gui Xianmei met her husband as she wished. But the first thing he said was that he wanted her to get a divorce. Gui Xianmei was heartbroken, but she didn't fight for anything at all.
Seeing this scene, Huang Wei's mother yelled. His first wife had helped him take care of the family for so many years, but in the end, her son cheated on her. It was really immoral.
Huang Wei's mother said that she would never recognize her daughter-in-law and would not forgive Huang Wei's behavior no matter what.
After the divorce, Huang Wei and Cai Weixin entered the palace of marriage.Cai Weixin gave him a new name: Cai Ruoshu, which means that everything can start again.
After the marriage, Cai Ruoshu tried his best to take care of the family. After the marriage, the two of them were close to each other and were like glue.
She always sympathized with Huang Wei's first wife, so she took her child under her knees and raised her as her own. During the Battle of Songhu, she followed Huang Wei across most of China, and followed Huang Wei in his campaigns east and west. Behind Huang Wei, he held up the sky and became Huang Wei's strongest backing.
3.
In early 1948, Huang Wei was in the summer resort, spending the summer with his pregnant wife Cai Ruoshu and their three children in Lushan .
At this time, Huang Wei received an order from Chiang Kai-shek, asking him to come to Wuhan immediately and rush to the front line of the battle. Huang Wei didn't think too much. After bidding farewell to his wife in a hurry, he rushed to Wuhan.
With the support of the people, the PLA soldiers were invincible, and the national army was defeated all the way. In the Battle of Huaihai, Huang Wei's regiment was completely destroyed and he became a prisoner of war of our army.
At this time, Cai Ruoshu was still looking forward to her husband's return, but what she was waiting for was the news that her husband had "sacrificed" in the war. Cai Ruoshu was alone with three children and felt like the sky was falling.
Perhaps it was God’s will. Two years later, Cai Ruoshu found out that her husband was probably still alive. He was captured, not killed. She passed through Hong Kong and came to Shanghai alone with several children. While taking care of several children, she inquired about Huang Wei's whereabouts.
Huang Wei, who was undergoing rehabilitation in prison, had no idea of his wife's hardship. His thoughts were pedantic and stubborn. He adhered to the Kuomintang's "rule of kings and ministers, loyal ministers and good generals" and became a die-hard loyalist of Chiang Kai-shek. He insisted on being unwilling to accept our party's new ideas and believed that this failure was just a tactical failure and was not what the people wanted at all.
He often calls himself Wen Tianxiang and insists on going against the government. He has become a model in prison who refuses to reform.
Cai Ruoshu outside the prison couldn't help but become nervous after hearing the news. If things continued like this, would Huang Wei have no chance of seeing the light of day again?
Not long after, Cai Ruoshu got a valuable opportunity to meet. At the visiting window, she looked forward to Huang Wei's transformation so that the family could be reunited.
However, after many years of getting along, Cai Ruoshu knew Huang Wei's temper very well. She said euphemistically: "I know your persistence, but if you can, can you think about our children?" Then she handed the hand over. A photo of Huang Wei’s daughter.
Huang Wei was speechless when he saw the photo. He slowly stroked the photo, although he said: "You don't understand, don't worry about it anymore!" But in the renovated room, he always took out the photo , keep it like a treasure.
But even so, he still refused any transformation with a tough attitude. He was originally able to appear on the first batch of amnesty lists, but because of his tough attitude, he lost this opportunity.
At that time, the relevant departments had notified Cai Ruoshu, but after a long list of names was announced on the radio, Huang Wei's name was never heard.
Cai Ruoshu thought he had missed it, so he asked the relevant personnel again, but what he got was the news that Huang Wei had not been pardoned.
came back from Taiwan, traveled to Hong Kong, and then came to Shanghai. She waited arduously for eleven years just to get the news of her husband's release. Now all hopes have been lost, which made Cai Ruoshu unable to accept it for a while, and he chose to commit suicide by swallowing a large amount of sleeping pills.
Fortunately, Cai Ruoshu was discovered in time shortly after he swallowed the sleeping pills and saved his life.
After experiencing hell, Cai Ruoshu understood her heavy responsibility better. She began to regain hope that her husband would be released one day. What she needed now was to pack herself up, take care of her children, and wait for one day to be reunited with her husband. .
Because of Huang Wei's stubbornness, his name did not appear on the second and third batch of amnesty lists. Repeated hopes and despairs deeply tortured Cai Ruoshu.As a result, she developed a serious mental illness, and her spirit became weaker and weaker day by day, which even affected her normal work.
In 1975, Cai Ruoshu finally received the news that her husband was released from prison. He became the seventh batch of Kuomintang generals to be pardoned, and the last batch of national prisoners of war to be released.
It has been 27 years since Huang Wei was captured. Huang Wei is 71 years old and Cai Ruoshu is 59 years old.
After Huang Wei's transformation, he saw that his wife and children were still waiting for him, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart. But what he didn't know was that his wife was already on the verge of an emotional breakdown. Just the slightest disturbance could make her nervous.
On one side is the burden of life, and on the other is her husband who is waiting for his release. She puts all her expectations on her husband's release from prison, which has become her deepest heartache.
But by God’s will, Huang Wei did not appear in the previous batches of amnesty lists. Therefore, after Huang Wei was released from prison, Cai Ruoshu was always worried that all this would be an illusion again. As long as Huang Wei appeared in public, she would be extremely nervous, for fear that her husband would do something wrong again and she would lose this time again. A hard-won reunion.
But Huang Wei knew nothing about it.
When Huang Wei was undergoing reform, he often used the excuse of studying perpetual motion machine to avoid reform. After he was released, this became something that Huang Wei could not let go of. Although it seemed fruitless, Huang Wei enjoyed it endlessly. He was bored in the house tinkering with his machine, so much so that he ignored his wife's feelings.
One day, Cai Ruoshu came to Huang Wei's room and gave Huang Wei a few words. Huang Wei was impatient and said rudely: "Get out!"
Her husband's neglect caused Cai Ruoshu's mental breakdown completely. She left home silently and walked towards the river not far from home.
When Huang Wei discovered that his wife was missing and went out to look for her, he found that the riverside not far from home was crowded with people.
He squeezed into the crowd and determined from the people's dictations that the person who jumped into the river was his wife. The 72-year-old man plunged into the water, anxiously looking for his wife.
However, Cai Ruoshu has already passed away.
After Huang Wei experienced this incident, he became seriously ill and his life underwent earth-shaking changes.
When he was anxiously looking for his wife in the water, he realized that Cai Ruoshu had not remarried for so many years, and raised his children with his weak shoulders; after meeting him, he never complained or complained, and how many difficulties he could overcome. How many helpless moments have I gone through.
He owes too many people and has responsibilities that he needs to shoulder. After
recovered from his illness, he threw away the perpetual motion machine template at home, provided his children with the support he could, and compensated them with his own practical actions.
He took the initiative to volunteer to the motherland and devoted his future days to the peaceful reunification of Taiwan and the mainland. For this reason, regardless of his advanced age, he resolutely took the initiative to volunteer and traveled between the two places to do his best for cross-strait peace.
This tragedy is because a person is too infatuated and because a person is too stubborn.
Love is pure, beautiful, and fierce, but it is also hurtful and cruel.
Ideals are full, but being too obsessed with one wrong thing and closing your eyes and ears is a kind of paranoia.
Cai Ruoshu's life was full of love, and while she was waiting hard for love, she gradually lost herself in the process of waiting;
Huang Wei's life was too stubborn, he held his ideals too high and set the reality He set his sights too low and was immersed in his own world. He also lost the most precious wife in his life, which became a regret for the rest of his life. Introduction to the editor of
