During the trip to Jinggangshan, whether visiting museums, martyrs' cemeteries or Jinggangshan Sculpture Garden, people will find photos or sculptures of female Red Army from time to time, and their determined and charming faces will often amaze tourists. I think they are "flowers of the Red Army". Aren't they the most beautiful azaleas in Jinggangshan?
In front of my eyes, I saw a determined figure of a female Red Army. Her name is Wu Yuee. She was captured in a battle. While the enemy was not looking, she hugged a white army officer and jumped off the cliff. She was less than 19 when she died. According to people, the place where she died was full of azaleas in the second year, which was dyed red by Wu Yuee's blood. She didn't leave a photo, I just saw the portrait painted by later generations. I think every year when the azaleas are in full bloom, every azalea in full bloom is Wu Yuee's smile.
"* * * people are never afraid of death, and dying for the people's liberation struggle is the most glorious! If I want to leave Zhu De, unless the sun rises in the west and the Ganjiang River flows backwards! " The words of a young female Red Army frightened the enemy, so she cut off her head with a machete. The enemy was unwilling and sent her head to Changsha for public display. The female Red Army soldier who was brutally killed by the enemy was named Wu. She is Zhu De's wife. They have been married for less than a year, and Wu was pregnant for several months when he died.
In a battle, in order to cover Zhu De and the army to break through, Wu drew the enemy away and was injured and captured. The enemy tortured her and forced her to tell the whereabouts of Mao Zedong and Zhu De. She refused and was finally killed by the enemy in Ganzhou. She was only 26 when she died. She didn't leave a photo either. According to memory, people left a statue for her in the sculpture garden.
A photo of a young woman hangs on the wall of the former site of the Red Army Hospital in Xiaojing Village, Jinggangshan. Tourists are amazed when they see this photo: "How beautiful! How beautiful! " She is Ceng Zhi, known as "Xiaoxiang Beauty". Before retiring, she was the deputy director of the Central Organization Department.
1in April, 928, Ceng Zhi went to Jinggangshan, served as secretary of the Party branch of the General Hospital behind the Red Fourth Army, and participated in the famous "Huang Yangjie Defence War". Her first two husbands, Xia Mingzhen and Cai Xiemin, died heroically and later became revolutionary partners with Tao Zhu. Because of frequent wars and difficult environment, her first three children were reluctantly given to their fellow villagers, and the last child was only 26 days old when she was given away. She said: "In any case, I have always treated every job and struggle with a positive, enthusiastic and serious attitude. I have always regarded my political life as the most important, but my family, children and feelings are getting lighter and lighter. As long as it is for the interests and needs of the party, I can give up everything, including my life. Because I am not only a woman, but also a soldier. "
When the Red Army retreated, more than 30 seriously wounded people in the Red Army General Hospital/KLOC-0 had no time to retreat, and all of them were killed by the enemy in a rice field near the hospital. Ceng Zhi, secretary of the general party branch of the hospital, has always felt guilty. I saw a copy of Ceng Zhi's suicide note in the Red Army Hospital. The suicide note said: "There will be no memorial service after death; Do not hold a farewell ceremony for the remains; There is no mourning hall at home; Family members outside Beijing should not come to mourn; Should not disturb the comrades in Beijing; The remains are sent to the hospital for autopsy, and the useful ones are left and the useless ones are cremated; The ashes were buried under a tree in Jinggangshan as fertilizer, and the other part was buried under a big stone with handprints in Baiyun Mountain. Never do any ceremony, quietly, and send an obituary three months later. Only publish news, not write a resume. "
1June 2, 9981day, Ceng Zhi passed away in Beijing. According to her mother's wishes, her daughter buried some ashes near the tomb of the Red Army Martyrs in Xiaojing Village. She didn't die with these seriously injured people, but her dead soul should accompany these soldiers.
The schedule is too tight. I had to go to my next destination by bus when I got out of the Red Army Hospital. I ran out to look for Ceng Zhi's graveyard, but only found the Red Army Martyrs Monument. Seeing a place that looked like a graveyard nearby, I took a picture in a hurry. This is because the car has already left, and I have no time to get close.
According to other people's descriptions, Ceng Zhi's tomb is on the left side of the Red Army Hospital and the Red Army Martyrs' Tomb in Xiaojing. The cemetery is very small, there is no building, just a small stone on the protruding mound. This stone is ochre black, not high but very strong. From left to right, there are four characters engraved with "Soul to Jinggang", and the following line is "Ceng Zhi, an old soldier of the Red Army".
It doesn't matter if we can't find Ceng Zhi's grave. She set up a monument in our hearts!
According to incomplete statistics, during the Jinggangshan struggle, more than 2,000 famous women with surnames died for the revolution, and many heroines didn't even leave their names. "Is it because of the blood of martyrs that azaleas are particularly red?" They are azaleas in Jinggangshan!
On the way to the bottom of Wulongtan Mountain, the suona sound of "Single Yingying Red" suddenly sounded, and then a group of tourists sang "Single Yingying Red" loudly halfway up the mountain:
It's midnight. I look forward to the dawn
In the cold winter, I look forward to the spring breeze.
You have to expect that the Red Army will come.
It covers the whole ridge. ...
