1952, a volunteer army stationed in Fujian organized soldiers to watch movies in the auditorium, watching the documentary "The Huaihe River must be repaired" just released that year.

After reading a line in the movie, there was a sudden cry from the back of the audience. Nobody paid attention at first, but then the voice grew louder and louder. Many soldiers turned their heads to see what had happened.

"Company commander, why are you crying?" A little soldier saw their company commander Feng sitting on a stool and bowed his head and cried. His tears are like floods that open the floodgates.

Many soldiers surrounded Feng and patted him on the back. Feng cried for a long time, trembling and pointing to a woman on the screen, sobbed and said, "That woman is my wife who has been lost for six years ..."

The soldiers were shocked after hearing this, and quickly asked what was going on.

So, why did Feng He spend six years respectively? What have they experienced in these years? Did the husband and wife finally reunite?

To understand the answers to these questions, we should start with Li Xiuying, the heroine in the documentary.

From 65438 to 0930, four-year-old Li Xiuying was adopted by her poor parents to her childless uncle and aunt, who engaged in small business.

Li Xiuying has been very clever and capable since he was a child. In my uncle's small restaurant, he is very skilled in choosing vegetables, washing rice and making jiaozi.

In my childhood in Li Xiuying, besides my uncle's small restaurant, there was a big river, the Huaihe River.

There is a lot of water in Huaihe River. Yingshang County, Anhui Province, where Li Xiuying lives, is located in the Huaihe River Basin. People here have grown up drinking Huaihe River water for generations, and they also rely on Huaihe River water to irrigate thousands of miles.

When Li Xiuying 13 years old, the river suddenly became "angry".

1June, 939, heavy rain raged all over the world, day and night. In July, the Huaihe River burst its banks, and the flood rushed down from the mouth of the Huaihe River, like a wild animal opening its mouth and engulfing all the houses in its path.

Li Xiuying's home was also flooded, so my uncle quickly took Li Xiuying to the tree to avoid being washed away by the flood.

Later, she fled with her uncle and aunt, which coincided with the smog in China. In addition to avoiding floods, Li Xiuying's family also needed to escape from the war and lead a very hard life.

Such a vagrant life is six years. Until 1945, when Japan surrendered unconditionally, the Li Xiuying family did not have to worry about the surprise attack by Japanese soldiers. They returned to their hometown happily with many villagers.

In my hometown, my uncle plans to open another small restaurant and needs a helper.

On the recommendation of a friend, honest and capable Feng went to work in his uncle's small restaurant.

Nineteen-year-old and young and full of hormones get along with each other day and night, and soon they like each other.

It's just that it's difficult for young men and women at that time to express their love directly, but my uncle and aunt, as experienced people, have long understood the meaning and helped them.

My uncle succeeded in recruiting Feng as his son-in-law. Feng He's married life is very happy, and she gave birth to a daughter in the first year. Before long, Li Xiuying was pregnant again, and the family laughed from ear to ear.

However, something unexpected happened. One day in the summer of 1946, my family suffered a disaster. This time, it was not a flood or a drought, but the Kuomintang robbed the young.

That day, Feng had just finished harvesting wheat at home and returned to his parents' home to help cut wheat. Just as he was about to cross the He Run ferry by boat, he was targeted by several Kuomintang soldiers.

At this time, the decline of the Kuomintang army was already obvious, so it was no different from bandits to catch able-bodied men everywhere to supplement the troops in the army. Unfortunately, Feng was caught by these Kuomintang soldiers and forcibly taken away.

Li Xiuying, who is seven months pregnant, is still at home waiting for her husband to come back. She was very surprised. According to the truth, her husband can finish it in a day or two at most. Why hasn't he come back for five or six days?

Just as she was worried about whether something had happened to her husband and wanted to drag her pregnant body to see it, a fellow villager rushed over and said, "Sister Xiuying, Xue Yongge has been arrested ..."

It turned out that the informant had escaped at that time, and it took several days to come back to inform him. Hearing the news, Li Xiuying blacked out at the moment and almost fainted.

After Zhang Xueyong was arrested, Li Xiuying often woke up in a nightmare in the middle of the night, always dreaming that her husband was blown to pieces by a bomb on the battlefield.

During the time when Feng was taken away, the thoughts of her husband filled the whole brain. She was worried that the bullets on the battlefield were not long and her husband would have an accident.

At this time, Feng, who was in the Kuomintang barracks, was most concerned about his wife and children. He escaped several times, but he was caught back. After being beaten, Kuomintang officers told him that his whole family had been killed by them, which made him very sad.

Although Feng didn't fully believe it, he saw that these soldiers were very ruthless and estimated that his family had little hope of survival, so he felt very desperate and hated the Kuomintang army even more.

Fortunately, the officers of Feng's army had a higher ideological consciousness, rebelled in the later battles and joined the People's Liberation Army.

Feng, who was originally desperate, brightened up because he found that the style of the PLA was completely different from that of the Kuomintang army. The PLA has strict military discipline and is welcomed by local people everywhere it goes.

Feng believes that if Xiuying and them all die, he will fight against the Kuomintang and avenge them. If he is still alive, he will come back to them after the war.

Therefore, Feng followed the People's Liberation Army's Western Expedition, and he may have a blood feud in his heart. He fought bravely and made many meritorious deeds, and was soon promoted to company commander.

At home, Li Xiuying took the initiative to support the family after confirming that her husband would not come back in all likelihood, because at this time, her uncle and aunt were old, and his uncle had tuberculosis, so he was almost unable to work.

Under the careful care of Li Xiuying, the family can finally continue to live.

But in the second year after the founding of New China, Li Xiuying's hometown once again encountered the "anger" of Huaihe River. The flood caused great loss of people and property, and nearly 500 people died in the flood alone.

In this regard, Chairman the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was saddened by this, and immediately instructed to send more manpower and material resources to the disaster area, and made an instruction of "ordering the Ministry of Water Resources to make a plan for diverting water from Huai River within a time limit".

At the end of 1950, under the leadership of the Ministry of Water Resources, the first phase of Huaihe River regulation project began. Li Xiuying, who suffered from floods since childhood, was the first person to sign up for the Huaihe River regulation.

Li Xiuying not only went by himself, but also mobilized 26 women from the whole village to take care of the Huaihe River. This "female soldier" has become a beautiful scenery on the construction site. Although she is a relatively weak woman, she is unambiguous at work. Men are capable, and they are all capable, even better.

Li Xiuying looked at the sign that Chairman Mao called for "Huaihe River must be repaired" on the construction site, and he was full of energy. Li Xiuying took the girls to do heavy manual work all day, such as lifting rails, digging dirt and washing stones.

Later, she recalled that the four-armed barbell used to make the pole was abruptly broken by several girls in the afternoon. At night, their shoulders hurt so much that they couldn't sleep, so they had to put the pole on it and press it hard to fall asleep.

With outstanding performance, Li Xiuying is famous on the construction site. But just as she was in full swing, she suddenly fell down.

"Comrade Xiuying, you have a good rest, and you are not allowed to go off the construction site until your body recovers." Qian, then the deputy director of the Engineering Department of Huaihe River Management Committee, spoke enthusiastically about waking up in her hospital bed and told the doctor not to let her leave the hospital until her injury was fully recovered.

So why did Li Xiuying go to the hospital?

It turned out that one day at noon, when the sun was shining, Li Xiuying was working hard on the construction site. Suddenly, his eyes went black, he vomited blood and fainted on the ground, scaring the workers next to him, and he was quickly taken to the hospital. After hearing the news, Minister Qian rushed to the hospital at the first time and visited the comrades who had heard so much about you.

After repeated exhortations, Minister Qian left the hospital and continued to be busy with harnessing the Huaihe River. And Li Xiuying in this matter, has always been very "rebellious", she just woke up when no one was in the ward, rushed to the Huaihe River site, and was busy with everyone.

Since then, Li Xiuying and the "female soldiers" are not afraid of hardship and tiredness, which deeply infected the people around them. By the end of the first phase of the Huaihe River regulation project in July, 195 1, she had been rated as a super model worker for Huaihe River regulation twice.

Li Xiuying's deeds spread to the CPC Central Committee and were praised by Chairman Mao. On the eve of National Day, 22-year-old Li Xiuying, as a model agricultural worker, was invited to attend the third session of China People's Political Consultative Conference, during which he was cordially received by Chairman Mao.

Seeing Chairman Mao shaking hands with the delegates attending the meeting, getting closer and closer to himself, Li Xiuying's heart was pounding, and he couldn't say how excited and excited he was.

When it was Li Xiuying's turn, she picked up a book on the meeting table and handed it to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao signed her autograph with great interest. This album later became the most precious thing in Li Xiuying's life.

In the same year, on the National Day of 1 year 10, Li Xiuying and other representatives boarded the city gate together with Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and Vice Chairman Soong Ching Ling to watch the National Day celebration. Li Xiuying felt as if he were dreaming, and he was very excited.

At the dinner party that day, Minister Deng Heqian, then vice-chairman of the All-China Women's Federation, came to the side and expressed cordial condolences. Finally, Minister Qian proposed to take a photo with him, and he was very excited. Later, she kept the photos and often took them out to wipe them.

Just as Li Xiuying made his contribution to the work of harnessing the Huaihe River in China and won the corresponding honor in Beijing, his husband was thousands of miles away in Fujian.

After the victory of the war of liberation, Feng wanted to hurry back to his hometown, but it happened that at this time, the US imperialists were doing things in North Korea, and the state recruited his troops to rush to the front. So Feng obeyed the order and decided to defeat the "wolf of American imperialism" first, and then find his own family.

After rotating from the Korean battlefield, Feng's troops were arranged to rest in Fujian. During the break, the troops often organize groups to watch revolutionary movies, one is to relax the soldiers, and the other is to publicize and consolidate political thoughts.

"Tonight, the documentary" Huaihe River Must be Built "will be shown in the army auditorium ..."1952 One day, the army leaders issued a notice to watch a movie, which caused a stir among the officers and men, and everyone was very happy.

Even if it is a group viewing activity, the work of standing guard in the military camp cannot stop. The soldiers on duty that day really wanted to see a movie. Feng, who has always been willing to contribute, took his gun and said that he would stand guard for him and let him go to the movies quickly.

In this way, Feng was on duty alone at the gate of the military camp. I thought the night was over, but I didn't expect it. After a while, the company documents came to him and said, "Company commander, your hometown is Yingshang County, Anhui Province, right?"

Feng gave a positive answer, and then the document said, "The movie tonight is about harnessing the Huaihe River the year before last. There are many people in Yingshang County, and maybe there are people you know! "

Before Feng could answer, the document went on to say, "Tell you what, company commander, my home is not near the Huaihe River, and there is no one I know. I will stand guard for you. Go to the movies. "

Feng thought, maybe he can really find people in his hometown in movies. If he can see his wife and children, it will prove that they are still alive. Isn't this a great thing? So Feng thanked him and hurried to the auditorium.

Feng quietly walked into the audience and sat in the back row, carefully looking for the figure of his wife and daughter on the movie screen, without blinking.

"Xiu ..." Suddenly, a thin and handsome figure appeared on the screen. The moment I saw Feng seemed to be electrocuted. Xiuying's name was just about to fly out of her mouth, but she swallowed it back, because that person was really like it, but the image was a little blurred. He's not sure.

Feng is a little nervous and excited. He suppressed these feelings, stared at the screen with his eyes wide open, his face leaned forward hard and his ass left the stool. He almost held his breath and was very anxious to make sure that it was Li Xiuying.

I saw that figure appear on the screen from time to time, but her name was not mentioned in the movie lines, so Feng was not sure.

The comrades next to him watched him so intently at the young woman on the screen, and some jokingly said, "Company commander, that girl is quite beautiful ..."

At this time, Feng Cai was too lazy to joke with him. He didn't even seem to hear his comrades-in-arms, staring at the screen.

When the name was mentioned in the film, the opening scene happened and Feng was relieved. He sat on the stool slowly, with his head down, and hot tears ran down his cheeks. Then he began to cry quietly, and then his voice grew louder and louder until everyone heard him.

I learned from Feng that it was his wife who won the title of model worker and shook hands with Chairman Mao. The soldiers were pleasantly surprised and wanted to meet their sister-in-law.

Feng, who finally recovered, was both excited and sad. Excited, he knew that his wife and daughter were still alive. Sadly, he didn't know that he suddenly disappeared for six years. How did they get here? This must be hard. He felt sorry for them.

The next day, Feng quickly wrote a letter and sent it to his hometown, reporting the safety of his wife and daughter and asking about their situation.

In Yingshang County, Anhui Province, a postman pedaled a bicycle with two bags of letters hanging behind him. One of the letters is "worth $1,000" because it carries the thoughts of a PLA soldier for his wife for six years.

Soon, the letter passed through the post office and arrived near Li Xiuying's home. Li Xiuying was working at home when he suddenly received a letter from the postman, which was very strange because few people would write to themselves.

When she picked up the envelope and tore it open, she found that the signer's name was Feng. She was stunned, then slowed down and muttered, "He's still alive!" Then shed tears of excitement and sadness, collapsed on the ground, this strong "iron lady" rarely cried.

Family and neighbors came running to see what had happened. When they saw Feng write a letter back, they congratulated each other.

Calm down, Li Xiuying carefully read her husband's letter over and over again, and raised the writing paper to her chest, just like holding her husband. Then she wrote back to Feng according to the address in the letter, and the couple finally wrote a letter six years later.

In August this year, the husband and wife decided by letter that Li Xiuying would leave her children at home and go to Fujian alone to see her husband.

"Welcome, welcome ..." When stepping into the gate of Feng's army, I saw a group of soldiers lined up neatly, shouting welcome slogans. And her husband Feng stood in front of the door, with flowers in his hand, waiting for her.

Seeing the excitement, Feng stepped forward and presented her with flowers. The two men looked at each other, speechless. At this point, the soldiers next to him booed and shouted "Hug, Hug ...", and the husband and wife embraced shyly.

After six years apart, both of them have a lot to say, but they have no time to say that day. Because the troops specially invited Li Xiuying, a model worker from Huaihe River, to give a report to the soldiers.

Li Xiuying shared her story with "female soldiers" in front of soldiers. Their deeds and spirit deeply touched the soldiers at the scene, and there were bursts of warm applause at the scene.

Li Xiuying is surrounded by flowers and applause all day. Only at night can he talk to her husband. The army specially gave Feng a day off to reunite with him.

It was difficult for them to sleep that night. These six years have missed each other for 60 years. How can they end their lovesickness overnight?

However, a few days after the reunion, the separation finally came. Husband and wife, one working in their hometown and the other in the army, can't be together all the time. The two reluctantly separated, but they did not have the despair and loneliness before, because they knew they would meet again soon.

Eight years later, that is, 1960, the couple, who wanted to end this common life for many days, finally made sacrifices, gave up their jobs in their hometown, and came to Feng's army station to be family members, leading a life of singing with the girls.

Ten years later, Feng's troops were dismissed from their posts and moved to Yuncheng, Shanxi, to follow them.

After another six years, that is, 1976, Feng was transferred from the post of township head to the transportation bureau in his hometown, and finally he could return to his hometown and become the chairman of the trade union in the local printing factory.

From youth to old age, husband and wife live together and snuggle up to each other. Feng finally died in June 2003, 1 1, and is still alive today.

The simple and pure love of that era exuded a refreshing fragrance. Feng He showed a unique and valuable spirit of unyielding fate after encountering unexpected changes.

Holding a glimmer of hope to see his wife, one bravely survived, and later joined the People's Liberation Army, fought bravely and made meritorious deeds, jointly defeated the reactionary forces of the Kuomintang and destroyed the plot of American imperialism.

One keeps the belief that her husband will come back, shoulders the burden of family firmly and creates a better life with both hands. Later, he took an active part in the revolution and the Huaihe River harnessing project, fully developed the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and fatigue, and was recognized by the government and society.

Fortunately, Yuanyang, who had been separated for six years, was finally reunited. From then on, they lived alone, and like many old revolutionary partners, they lived happily in simplicity and beauty.

Their indomitable spirit is never out of date, and their pure and happy love is never out of date.
