is different from now on when everyone has a mobile phone. Communication in modern times is not well developed. In that era of war and inconvenient communication, it is often a lifetime when one parted in a lifetime, and there is no news when one leaves. There are many cases of separation of wives and children.
When the founding of New China in 1949, a young soldier found his father who had been separated for many years with photos in newspapers. His father's identity is very unusual, he is the founding general Deng Hua. Why are they separated?
The family and the country were in trouble. They left their wife and children for the revolution in
1910, Deng Hua was born in Bin County, Hunan Province. In 1925, she married Qiu Qing'e because of her parents' orders. She got married early in that era. Deng Hua was only 15 years old at that time.
Although it was an arranged marriage, Deng Hua and Qiu Qing'e got along well. Their lives were also good, and they were satisfied with this marriage.
However, marriage did not tie Deng Hua's heart. He was ambitious and came into contact with communist thoughts during his study, which aroused his passion for saving the nation and joined the Communist Party of China in 1927.
Also in 1927, Deng Hua, who was only 17 years old, had a new identity - his father. Qiu Qing'e gave birth to a son for him and named him Deng Xianshi, but before he could enjoy this joy, Deng Hua was about to go to the revolutionary battlefield.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" coup , raiding and massacring Communist Party members. The Communist Party is facing a huge crisis, and Deng Hua is also in danger of his life and has to choose to leave his hometown.
Under the cover of white terror, Deng Hua resolutely embarked on the revolutionary journey, leaving only a photo and a sentence "If I sacrifice, you can find someone to marry again."
Qiu Qing'e is a soft and strong woman. She knew very well that Deng Hua's departure might be a farewell forever. Although she was reluctant to leave, she did not cry and force him to keep him, but let him pursue his own sky. She would take good care of her family.
Qiu Qing'e did not complain about her husband's departure. When Deng Xianshi asked about her father, she always told her son that his father was a great hero. Although Deng Xianshi had never seen his father, he was always deeply influenced by his father, which is probably the reason why he embarked on the revolutionary path.
Qiu Qing'e failed to grow up with Deng Xianshi. When Deng Xianshi was 11 years old, she left the world due to illness. Before her death, she handed the photos left by Deng Hua to Deng Xianshi to let him remember his father.
Deng Xianshi had no parents at such a young age. The villagers felt sorry for him and took good care of him in life. Deng Xianshi grew up with everyone's help. Later, she went out to make a fortune. By chance, she joined the People's Liberation Army, entered the 46th Army, and embarked on the same path as his father.
The father who has been separated for many years is actually the founding general
Because there has been no news of his wife and children, Deng Hua married Li Yuzhi during the military journey and formed a new family, but he has always been worried about his separated son in his heart and often mention it to people around him.
On October 1, 1949, New China was founded. This is a historic moment, and the whole country celebrates. Although not everyone can witness this moment in Tiananmen, major newspapers have long spread this good news across the country.
In addition to the text, there are also photos of various founding generals in the newspaper. One of them caught Deng Xianshi's attention. The person in the photo looked so similar to his father who had been separated for many years. Although I have never seen my father, Deng Xianshi has always kept the photos left by her father, and after comparison, she looks more and more like her.
The comrades around him were all excited about the victory of the revolution, and the discussion was very enthusiastic. Only Deng Xianshi stared at the newspaper, silent, and incompatible with the atmosphere around her.
The comrades around him discovered something wrong with Deng Xianshi and asked him what was wrong. Deng Xianshi pointed to the photo of Deng Hua in the newspaper and choked up and said, "He is my father!" But no one believed it, because the father Deng Xianshi mentioned was not an ordinary person, but the commander Deng Hua.
This is the same as in the current TV series, when a poor boy suddenly learns that he is a rich second generation, but Deng Xianshi is not concerned about the vanity, but the family affection that is thicker than water. Deng Xianshi has been lonely and helpless for so long, and now she has finally found her father, and the excitement in her heart is beyond words.
However, this seems more like a joke to the people around you. Deng Xianshi had already agreed in her heart that his father had died in battle. He said from the beginning that he was an orphan whose parents died. Now a father suddenly appeared, who was also a commander. Everyone thought he was fantasizing.
However, when Deng Xianshi took out the photos he had treasured for many years, the instructor was stunned. He realized that Deng Xianshi's words were probably true, but after all, it was about the commander and he could not be careless.
But the commander is not that easy to see.
After 22 years of separation, the father and son finally met
Instructor immediately reported to his superiors. The news reached Xiao Jinguang, the 12th Corps. Xiao Jinguang and Deng Hua were close friends. He also knew that Deng Hua had been worried about his son who had been separated for many years, but he did not dare to rashly bring Deng Xianshi to Deng Hua.
According to Deng Xianshi, his father's name was Deng Duohua, so he first asked to verify this name. During that time, the country was checking household registration. Xiao Jinguang inadvertently asked him whether he had changed his name in front of Deng Hua. Deng Hua said that his original name was Deng Duohua, but he changed it to his current name when he went out for a revolution.
After hearing this, Xiao Jinguang had no doubts. He could be sure that Deng Xianshi was Deng Hua's son, but this matter was better for Deng Xianshi. So, Xiao Jinguang asked Deng Xianshi to write a letter to Deng Hua.
Deng Xianshi explained in the letter that her life experience and that her mother was Qiu Qing'e. The name Qiu Qing'e immediately evokes Deng Hua's long-lasting memory. After reading the letter, Deng Hua felt very complicated. He was happy for finding his son and felt guilty for leaving his wife and children.
Deng Hua served his motherland throughout his life, sacrificed his life for the revolutionary cause, shed his blood, and felt ashamed of the motherland and the people. He was only ashamed of his former wife and children. He left when his son was still in his infancy, and he was not by his side even though his wife died of illness.
Then, Deng Hua immediately set off to see his son. This was a reunion after 22 years of separation. The father and son were both very excited and hugged each other tightly. Deng Hua, an iron-blooded commander, couldn't help but choke. Deng Xianshi felt that his life was perfect at this moment.
Although I missed so many years, fortunately, it’s not too late. They still have plenty of time to make up for the missed father-son time. Deng Xianshi is no longer an orphan without fathers and mothers.
The birth of New China is the result of the bloody struggle of many revolutionary ancestors. In this process, they have lost a lot, but have never wavered their beliefs in their hearts, which has our current life.
When the country is in trouble, the understanding of relatives is often crucial, and we are also grateful for the arrangement of fate, so that General Deng Hua can make up for his regrets.
