Time flies. In the early 1970s, due to well-known reasons, my father retired and returned to his hometown of Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province. On his way to Shanghai, he went to visit Comrade Qiu Huiying, the widow of his old comrade Li Bai. Last time we met, 27 years have passed since the summer of 43 years. Comrades meet and hold hands with tears for a long time. My father's name is sister-in-law Qiu Huiying, and my father and Qiu Huiying are of the same age. They went to the Martyrs' Cemetery to worship the martyr Li Bai and talked late into the night. The next day, mother Qiu sent her parents to Nanchang by train. My father told me all this afterwards, and they never met again after this trip. My father's memoir Expecting Zero (a single spark can start a prairie fire 17) records in detail how Comrade Li Bai was caught by the Japanese in 43: "I was concentrating on copying the telegram sent by Shanghai Radio Station at 0: 00 that day (one day in April of 43), but Comrade Li Bai suddenly stopped sending it and sent me" PSEQRX ",which means: I have something to do, please. After more than ten minutes, Comrade Li Bai continued to deliver newspapers to me. After that, he brought me "OSEGB" seven or eight times in a row, and the last time was particularly long. Li Bai stopped sending it halfway, and I was very nervous. At this moment, the sound of "goodbye" struck my tight heartstrings like a hammer. "
After a few minutes, I called him, but there was no answer. An hour later, I called and still couldn't get an answer. I called intermittently until dawn, but I still couldn't hear the reply from my distant comrades. I took Li Baifa's heavy telegram and personally delivered it to the confidential department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Two months later, Li Bai's wife came to Yan 'an from Shanghai with her three-year-old child and her one-year-old child. She told the leaders and comrades about the fighting and the arrest of Comrade Li Bai.
After the rescue of the Party and underground organizations, Comrade Li Bai kept his true feelings in prison and kept the secrets of the Party strictly. After he got out of prison, he took part in a new battle. After that, my father had no contact with Comrade Li Bai. In February 65438+, 48-year-old Comrade Li Bai was arrested and imprisoned by Kuomintang reactionaries. He remained steadfast and died heroically in May, 49, at the age of 39. After liberation, I heard from comrades that Comrade Li Bai passed away. Sighing, while filming the movie "Never Gone Radio", the comrades in the crew went to my father for advice. There is inevitable artistic processing in TV series, which makes Comrade Li Bai's image higher and fuller and deeply rooted in people's hearts.
I have a deep love affair with Never Gone Radio. In the TV series, Li Xia sent a telegram to Yan 'an, and I couldn't help thinking of that war-torn era, when Uncle Li Bai's never-ending radio waves arrived in Yan 'an, where his father received the good news of victory. I seem to hear the ticking of the electric key. I seem to see Uncle Li Bai and his father waving to me in the sky. The martyr Li Bai is immortal.
