Then, they told her stories for three days and three nights, and the protagonist of the story was without exception Li Zhen. She My thoughts also followed the other party's talk and went back to that era.
Child Bride
There is a family by the beautiful Liuyang River. The father is a hard-working and simple farmer, and the mother is a simple and kind-hearted farm woman. "Danwazi" was born in this family. She is the second daughter of the family. Their family has always After that, Mother Li gave birth to 4 more daughters one after another. The appearance of 6 daughters made the family burden even heavier. Moreover, a serious illness ruthlessly took away Li's father, and the family was already too poor to take the blame. .
Finally, when she was six years old, her mother called her aside and coaxed her and said: "Dan Wazi, Uncle Gu's family has no daughters. Their family dreams of having a girl. You go and stay with their family for a few days first. Mom will take you back after a while." The young Li Zhenxin thought it was true and left wearing the clothes her mother had made for her. Her clothes were not very delicate, so she had to make her sister's clothes smaller so she could continue to wear them.
Although the Gu family is a doctor, life here is not as peaceful as imagined. Little Li Zhen can only sleep in the middle of the night every day, and then get up at five o'clock. In addition, she has to carry water, chop wood, Cooking, washing clothes, being beaten and scolded have become her daily routine. Li Zhen hugged the leftovers in the bowl tightly, and her big tears fell into the bowl. She did not dare to cry out and read silently. Author: Mom lied to me.
Li Zhen also tried to go home. The Gu family had a nephew Niu Yazi who was one year older than Li Zhen. He often bullied Li Zhen and even made her climb on the ground to be a "sheep" so that he could ride the "sheep" himself. Li Zhen, who had a tough temper, was not happy about it, so he used all his strength to twist Niu Yaozi's thigh. Niu Yaozi only felt a burst of pain, and then ran home crying and complaining. Li Zhen got into a big trouble, and Gu's mother Without asking about the cause and effect of the matter, he directly grabbed Li Zhen's pigtails and beat and scolded her. Li Zhen opened her big round eyes, full of stubbornness: "I am a human, not a sheep." finished speaking, She threw herself into her mother's arms, feeling the grievances in her heart.
The mother touched her head and comforted her gently. Even though the mother was reluctant to let her daughter suffer, if she brought her daughter back, she would not be able to provide even basic food and clothing. For this reason, Mother Li could only take her daughter to Gu's house with the duck in hand. Apologize.
Escape from the Gu family
When Li Zhen was a child bride for the Gu family, she was suffering physically and mentally every day. As time went by, Li Zhen also grew up, and every time she thought about her identity as a child bride, she was thinking about a question, How can I leave this "home"? When she was a child, she had no ability. When she grew up, she began to discuss with several people around her who were also child brides, and secretly left together, and then went to the city to work as female workers. It was inevitable that one of these little sisters would reveal the truth about Li Zhen's life. His mother-in-law soon learned of his idea.
Li Zhen lowered her head, listening to her mother-in-law shouting on her head: "Okay! Run away! I will capture you even if you go to heaven, and dig you out even if you go to the ground!"
This time The harsh words further strengthened Li Zhen's idea of leaving. One time, Li Zhen ran to the mountains to chop wood. She happened to encounter a thunderstorm. As she ran towards home, she didn't pay attention to her feet and fell heavily into the ditch. Covered in mud and water, she struggled to get up and returned to the Gu family. When she saw her returning home, the Gu family members who had returned from the fields early did not greet her but instead used some unpleasant words to scold her. Why didn't they get it earlier? Give them clean clothes to change.

Li Zhen, who was dripping with water, rubbed her neck and argued with them: "I went up the mountain to chop firewood, how could I have time to wash up!" When the Gu family heard what she said, they felt that this little girl's wings were stiff. , her mother-in-law didn't even bother to do anything superficial, she picked up the broom at hand and hit Li Zhen all over the face. The hatred in Li Zhen's heart fully grew, and she turned around and ran towards the pond in front of her house. In the past, she wanted to cry out to this unfair world with her blood. In the end, her wish did not come true. She was persuaded by the neighbors who caught up with her to go back. Don't be arrogant and think more about your mother and sisters.
Joining the revolution
Li Zhen’s character is destined not to be a submissive person at home. On the contrary, she still has a heart to change her destiny in such a family environment. One day, Li Zhen’s sister pulled her aside and told her : "The Communist Party has come to our district and established the Women's Liberation Association. The time has come for women to stand up for liberation. We must follow the Communist Party to make revolution."

After a long period of oppression by feudal forces, Li Zhen's backbone Standing straighter and straighter, she seemed to have been waiting for an opportunity, and the word "revolution" mentioned by her sister was a huge attraction to her. Finally able to get rid of such a life, Li Zhen let out a long sigh of relief. Then she came to the Women's Association with brisk steps. This time she wanted to live for herself.
This little girl who had endured the hardships of life, under the witness of everyone, resolutely cut off her long black and beautiful hair, and then firmly wrote two words on the registration form - Li Zhen , From then on, the name "Danwazi" will be forever lost in the long river of history.
Her husband's family was furious when they found out that she joined the Women's Association, and they even threatened to break her legs. If Li Zhen persisted in going her own way, they would lock her up at home and do housework all the time. However, where was Li Zhen at this time? She was still a soft persimmon at their mercy. Now that she had decided to make a revolution, she would no longer suffer in this family. This tenacious little girl bid farewell to the Gu family completely and entered a new journey in life.
Under the teaching of Zhang Qilong , the ideas of the Women's Association were liberated, and the women's movement in Yong'an area also became vigorous. During the learning process, Li Zhen performed extremely well, so was elected to the small board. Chairman of Qiaoxiang Women's Association.

After the training and education of our party, Li Zhen has grown and improved in her thoughts and all aspects. After she also successfully joined the Communist Party of China.
Rescuing his comrades
Li Zhen participated in many operations with her fearless spirit and intelligence. The one that impressed her comrades most deeply was the operation to rescue Zhang Qilong.
In 1928, Zhang Qilong was captured by Lin Hu, the captain of the regimental defense bureau. At this time, he was very dangerous. He was the backbone of the guerrillas. The enemy had already been eyeing him. Therefore, after he was captured, he was destined to be more likely to be in trouble than in danger. , after learning the news that he had been captured, the comrades gathered together and discussed ways to rescue him.
"We must respond calmly. Zhang Qilong is a 'key criminal' wanted by the enemy. The local regiment defense bureau does not dare to deal with it at will and will definitely escort him to the county seat.Our guerrillas blocked his path and captured him, catching him off guard and resolutely rescuing Zhang Qilong! "But you must know that the enemy is cunning and cunning. You must be cautious, resourceful and brave, and fully rely on the masses to rescue people." "Wang Shoudao analyzed the current situation for the comrades and his determination to rescue Zhang Qilong.

After Wang Shoudao assigned the tasks, a new problem arose. Guanyintang still needs two comrades responsible for reconnaissance. This The two could not decide.
At this time, Li Zhen, who was already the chairman of the soldiers committee, stepped forward and said firmly: "I am familiar with the situation there, let me go, and I will ensure that the task is completed!" "Wang Shoudao saw this thin but extremely calm girl and nodded: "Okay, pay attention to safety. "After accepting the mission, Li Zhen and Zhang Wei disguised themselves as hawkers and went to investigate the situation.
As expected, the enemy really wanted to play tricks on the rescue of Zhang Qilong. Their method was to "switch the package." Wang Shoudao and the others did not expect them. With this move, when they saw four regiment members guarding a man who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, they thought that this man was Zhang Qilong. Eager to save people, they jumped up from the bushes, and then a dozen guerrillas They rushed out towards this group of people and subdued them. Unfortunately, when they took a closer look, they discovered that this man was not the Zhang Qilong they were looking for, but the father of a peasant association cadre in Zhangjiafang. Coincidentally, this old man was also being escorted.
Since they rescued the wrong person, where is the real Zhang Qilong?
Here, Li Zhen and Zhang Wei rushed to Guanyintang without stopping, and then mingled with the surrounding people and asked. Only then did they know the general situation here. It turned out that Zhang Qilong was secretly imprisoned by them. The person who made this decision was none other than the head of the regiment, Tang Dazi. This man wanted to rely on Zhang Qilong to realize his dream of "promotion and wealth". As long as he If you take Zhang Qilong, who is being apprehended above, to the county seat, you can get rewards.
At the same time, Tang Mazi also knows how difficult Zhang Qilong is, and his comrades will definitely come to rescue him, so they have to find a time in the dead of night. Moving people was too targeted during the day, and it was really not suitable to take people out.
html It was dark and windy in October, and everything was quiet. Li Zhen and Zhang Wei finally touched the place where Zhang Qilong was being held. Zhang Qilong inadvertently looked up and suddenly saw Li. Zhen, so he began to think about passing the news to the outside world, only to hear him yell: "Tangmazi is a piece of shit. It's dark and you haven't brought me food." "Hearing Zhang Qilong's voice, Li Zhen and Zhang Wei began to explore the surrounding environment, and then asked Zhang Wei to remain undecided. Li Zhen went to Wang Shoudao to report the situation. After Wang Shoudao listened to Li Zhen's report, he immediately led more than ten people The guerrillas went to Guanyintang.

But Tang Mazi in the house had already been dazzled by the upcoming victory, so he drank with a group of brothers that night, and everyone was drunk. After being drunk, he even drank with the group members. They played mahjong, but not many people present paid attention to what was going on outside, so Wang Shoudao and the others succeeded in the raid. Tang Mazi's men fled in all directions. In the panic, Lin Hu, the enemy team leader, was still caught. However, at this time, Everyone still knew nothing about Zhang Qilong's location.
Seeing this, Li Zhen directly put a knife on Lin Hu's neck, and then shouted sternly: "Tell me honestly, where is Zhang Qilong? If you don't tell me, I'll cut him off." Your head! "
Tang Mazi looked at the knife on his neck and didn't dare to move. He was afraid that his head would fall to the ground in the next second. His legs were shaking like chaff. He said tremblingly: "Imprisoned... I'm imprisoned in the Lin family. Ancestral hall. "According to him, the enemy has transferred Zhang Qilong again and again.
Wang Shoudao and Li Zhen led the guerrillas to quickly surround the Lin family ancestral hall. After Li Zhen and the others rushed in, they searched and shouted: "Zhang Qilong, where are you?" Zhang Qilong, who was almost fossilized on the spot, heard the calls of his comrades outside. He quickly responded: "I'm here!" Li Zhen and the others immediately ran over after hearing the sound, and cut off the ropes on his body with a knife. Zhang Qilong, who had been imprisoned for many days, finally left this dragon's den.
Wang Shoudao
Zhang Qilong looked at his comrades, with tears in his eyes, then stretched out his hand to hold the hands of Wang Shoudao and Li Zhen tightly, and said passionately: "Thank you to the guerrilla comrades for rescuing me. I will always remember the party." For the life-saving grace, he will always follow the party and work in the revolution for the rest of his life! "
interceding for his comrades
Li Zhen is not only smart and astute, but also unparalleled by others in caring for his comrades.
In that era of war, what was the most important thing? Guns, this is an age of fighting for your life, and if you master such a weapon, there is the possibility of making a comeback at any time.
According to the discipline at that time, anyone who lost his gun would be shot. Yang Meisheng was originally a tailor. After hearing about the revolution, he joined the revolution without hesitation. Unfortunately, during a battle, he accidentally lost a rifle. He was not very courageous. He made such a big mistake this time, and he was haunted all day long, immersed in guilt.
杨梅生
Li Zhen happened to be the soldier committee chairperson of the guerrilla group at that time, and she also had relatively great power. She could directly decide on all major matters of the guerrilla group at that time. Yang Meisheng's squad leader saw that he was so uncomfortable and wanted to save his life, so he tried to tell Li Zhen about it. Li Zhen also felt uncomfortable at this time. This discipline was approved by a show of hands by everyone, but , she would not be willing to take away the life of a comrade because of this. How can
come up with a way to get the best of both worlds?
Li Zhen tossed and turned for many days, and finally thought of a way. Then she found the captain overnight and tentatively asked : "Is it possible not to kill Yang Meisheng?" The captain was shocked on the spot: "What? This is the discipline of the Soldiers Committee ! Yang Meisheng himself raised his hand and agreed. How can you be so serious about military discipline?"
Seeing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but comforted: "Yes, guns are precious, and discipline must be enforced. Isn't it more valuable for a loyal revolutionary warrior to bravely kill the enemy? "There is a war right now. If Yang Meisheng can make meritorious service and take back a gun from the enemy, why can't we give it to him once?" What's the chance?"
The captain pondered deeply and finally decided to give in: "Oh, if you can do it, you have to do it. If you can't get the gun back, you will still have to shoot him. Come on, you will be responsible." Li Zhen nodded. Not long after captain
agreed, Li Zhen told Yang Meisheng about the matter. Yang Meisheng's eyes were full of disbelief, and tears almost came out of his eyes. Then he nodded and said: "I promise to complete the task and never let down the trust of the organization." ."
Yang Meisheng did not disappoint Li Zhen. In a sneak attack, he snatched back three enemy rifles and a saber. Even the captain couldn't help but congratulate: "Let's. The Chairman of the Soldiers adheres to principles and loves comrades. Three big guns changed one life. "
After this incident, Li Zhen summed up the experience and lessons for Yang Meisheng, and Yang Meisheng demanded himself more strictly, especially in battle. He became more heroic and eventually became a senior general in the People's Liberation Army.
Adopted daughter asks for transfer
Li Zhen and her husband Gan Siqi
Li Zhen is approachable in treating her comrades, but she is very strict with herself and her family members.
"Major General, I have something to report to you." The secretary pinched the corner of his clothes, full of hesitation in his heart.
Li Zhen put down the pen in her hand and crossed her fingers on the table, "Yeah, let's talk, don't be nervous." The secretary said with a slight trembling: "Your adopted daughter Xiaoli reported to our comrades in the General Political Organization Department , her workplace is too far away from home, and her children have no one to take care of them when they go to school. She also suffers from arthritis and edema. She often works night shifts in the hospital, and her health is a bit unbearable, so she hopes that the military organization will give her a letter of introduction. "
Li Zhen and her husband have no children, but they have raised more than 20 orphans of martyrs. As an adopted daughter, Xiaoli was working in a local hospital in Beijing at the time, and he wanted to be transferred to Li Zhen. Working in a workplace near Zhen's residence, can take care of the elderly Li Zhen and take care of his own family.
Major General Li Zhen
After the secretary told Li Zhen about the matter, he also wanted to hear her opinion. After hearing this, Li Zhen said without hesitation: "This letter cannot be opened! Xiaoli works in a local hospital. Any difficulties should be reported to the party organization of the unit." Then, she specifically told the secretary: "From now on, my children and relatives will not be able to make any personal requests to the organization in my name, and everything must be done according to the system. Please do it according to the regulations. Please help me check to prevent them from becoming special people."
Afterwards, Li Zhen went to talk to Xiaoli and said sincerely: "In difficult times, the party and the government send their best wishes. It's not easy to train you to become a doctor when you go to college! Now the hospital needs you and the patients can't live without you. How can you be transferred? Everyone has difficulties, but compared with those comrades who have the most difficulties, yours is The difficulty is still very small and can be overcome. My life is well organized, so don’t worry about me."
After hearing this, Xiaoli lowered his head and agreed. From then on. , she did her job with peace of mind, and then served the patients with a more positive and enthusiastic attitude. Since then, she has never mentioned the matter of job transfer.
Major General Li Zhen leads by example and is not special. She is worth learning from.
