Hongsao waited for her husband's Waiting for Me for 72 years until her hair turned white and she died at the age of 95.

/kloc-the winter of 0/933 was the fourth year that she separated from her husband.

The moment I saw my husband, the ups and downs came to a woman's heart, and the crystal tears could not stop.

After just six days together, the woman realized her husband's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and the grievances of many years vanished at once. She secretly vowed in her heart that as long as her husband is the only one in this life, she will never fail him.

The night before they broke up, they were inseparable, affectionate and full of love. I don't know where to start. Suddenly, the husband mysteriously took out a mirror from his pocket and said, "Look, I bought this with all my savings. You should take good care of it. "

The couple chatted late into the night. When the woman was about to fall asleep, her husband left an exhortation in her ear: "Remember, if someone says I am dead one day, don't believe it. Wait for me! Be sure to wait for me to come back! "

And she waited for 72 years for this sentence "wait for me".

More than 20,000 days and nights, women always lean against the door, expecting the winding path at the entrance of the village and waiting for their lover to return. Until her hair turned white, until she was told that her husband had passed away, and until the end of her life, she still believed that her husband would come back.

Today, this red love is still unforgettable and a much-told story in the revolutionary history. The protagonist of today's article is Chi Yuhua, and the story takes place in Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province, which is known as the "Red Army County".

1920 In the early spring, 9-year-old Chi Yuhua was taken by her father to Jiaofu Village, 30 miles away, and given to a farmer named Li as a child bride. This is the first time Chi Yuhua met her "husband"-a 6-year-old child-Li Cailian.

In this completely unfamiliar environment, Chi Yuhua spends all his time on firewood, herding cattle and doing housework, and many grievances are hidden in his heart. But where are your parents? Who should she talk to? Who can you trust?

On one occasion, Chi Yuhua couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly ran to the ground and burst into tears. She cried because she was tired, but her tears were still falling, which happened to be seen by Li Cailian who came out to play. He hurried over, a pair of small hands wiped the tears on Chi Yuhua's face and asked anxiously, "Sister, why are you crying?" Is there a problem? "

Looking at Li Cailian with a childish face, Chi Yuhua quickly pushed him away and said loudly, "I won't cry! You are wrong! " Li Cailian is young, but her little brain is very clever. She didn't argue with Chi Yuhua again, but turned and ran away.

After a while, Cai-Lian Li ran back again, with a handful of dried sweet potatoes in her hand. He stuffed dried sweet potatoes into Chi Yuhua's hand and said with a smile, "Sister must be hungry. Don't cry after eating! " Hearing this, ChiYuHua although some in distress situation, the in the mind feel a little warm. The life of sharing weal and woe gradually filled the invisible gap in their hearts, and they spent a wonderful few years together.

Therefore, even if Chi Yuhua suffered misfortune in her childhood and lost the love of her parents, she also got another kind of love. At that time, the turbulent revolution swept through Jiangxi. Li Cailian secretly participated in the revolution under the guidance of her teacher and joined the * * * organization on 1928. That year, Li Cailian was only 16 years old, but she was a great young man in the eyes of the villagers.

He is tall and delicate, educated and a famous member of the village. In addition to revolting and rioting with the Red Army, we also mobilized everyone to send Lang as the Red Army. 1929, a happy event happened in Jiaofu village-Li Cailian got married!

In a burst of firecrackers, Li Cailian and Chi Yuhua got married. A simple quilt and two boards built their simple and sweet love nest.

On the wedding night, Li Cailian confessed everything to his wife and told her everything she had done in these years. Then, Li Cailian said awkwardly, "Yuhua, the Red Army's major troops will be transferred soon, and I may be arranged organizationally. Will you? " ChiYuHua silently watching CAI-,for a long time without saying a word, just a long sigh.

After all, she is just a girl in the seed of love. She was full of fantasies about a beautiful married life. Therefore, her husband will travel soon. How did Chi Yuhua open this mouth?

After a long time, Li Cailian didn't give up and asked, "Do you want me to go with the Red Army?" Chi Yuhua didn't look her husband in the eye, but looked down and said, "Can the revolution succeed if you go with the Red Army? When will you go home? "

After listening to this, Li Cailian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but I didn't go with the Red Army for myself, but for the suffering people in the world. I believe it will be successful, and you must also believe that the poor will turn over one day. "

After a pause, Li Cailian read the poem again: "If you want to achieve great things, you should learn from Hongyan and fly far away. I can't give up my future path because of the children? " Chi Yuhua was crying at this time, and her heart was full of disappointment for her husband.

At that moment, Li Cailian put her arms around her wife. Chi Yuhua feels so at ease and happy, but she won't last long after all!

Three days later, in the cold wind, a couple stood under a Chinese tallow tree and they were saying goodbye. When Li Cailian turned to leave, Chi Yuhua sobbed and shouted to him, "Cailian, let me help you hang this life lock-"

At this time, Cai-Lian Li held back and didn't turn around. He was afraid of seeing his wife's tearful eyes and wouldn't leave. He squatted down slowly and motioned for his wife to put it on himself. Chi Yuhua paused when she hung up, then hugged her tightly from behind, put her face on Li Cailian's head, and tears flowed down like falling pearls.

Looking at her husband's drifting back, Chi Yuhua stood in the same place for a long time and sang a ballad, "Red Army brothers, you walk slowly, you turn back after the victory of the revolution, I will wait for you for a long time, and I will wait for you to grow old together ..."

After Li Cailian left, Chi Yuhua provoked the revolutionary task in her hometown, and at the same time provoked the life of the youngest in her family with her tender shoulders. During the day, Chi Yuhua will go to the fields to farm and go up the mountain to cut wood; In the evening, Chi Yuhua lit a lamp to make military shoes. She worked hard, trying to dilute her deep-rooted yearning for her husband, and served as a female minister in the Soviet Union.

Time flies to 1933. Because of the cruelty of the war, Li Cailian and his wife are like kites with broken lines. During the period, the husband and wife did not meet or write to each other. Over time, Chi Yuhua was very dissatisfied and resentful to her husband.

It turned out that Li Cailian wrote letters to her father and many relatives at home, but she didn't write a word to her wife who missed him day and night. How can Chi Yuhua not be angry? But she seems to forget that she doesn't know many words.

This year, the Red Army won its fourth victory against "encirclement and suppression". Chi Yuhua found that her husband came to Qiliping with the authorities, but his home was a hundred miles away. Chi Yuhua, who is eager for her husband, can't care so much. She walked with others for five or six days and finally met her husband.

"Cai Lian, why don't you write to me when you write to everyone?"

"Yu Hua, you know few words. It is also for others to write to you. If you can learn some culture, I will write to you every day. "

"good! Then I will read it carefully in the future. You can't break your word. "

……

After this topic, Chi Yuhua's high spirits suddenly dropped again. Her husband has never come home in these years. Is he tired of me? I think Chi Yuhua will ask this question.

Li Cailian gently stroked her cheek and smiled: "Yuhua, you are so silly and cute! If nothing else, where can I find a beautiful and virtuous wife like you? How can I not like you? "

Immediately, Chi Yuhua asked, "Then why don't you go home?"

"Hey, revolutionary work is too busy. I tried to go home and see you several times, but I was delayed by work. Don't be angry! " Cai-Li Lian finished, and Chi Yuhua finally smiled.

During the six days spent in Qiliping, Chi Yuhua will spend his whole life reminiscing and alleviating the pain caused by missing!

Knowing that she will leave tomorrow, Chi Yuhua gave her husband a cold face for the first time, and it was very unpleasant in her heart. Inside, Chi Yuhua beat her husband's chest and said, "You-you are so cruel! Why can't I go with you? "

Li Cailian looked at Chi Yuhua affectionately and said apologetically, "My good Yuhua, the war ahead is tight, and many Red Army soldiers abandoned their homes and children and went to the front. As a cadre, if I bring my family, what will others think of me? What would you think of me? Can you understand my difficulty? I promise you, once the revolution is won, I will definitely go home and live with you! "

After that, Chi Yuhua nodded tearfully and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will wait for you!"

Later, Li Cailian took out a mirror she bought early and gave it to her wife. She said softly, "after so many years of marriage, we have been together for a long time, and I haven't given you any gifts." I'm really sorry for you! This is a token of my appreciation. Seeing the mirror is like seeing me. You should take good care of it, but don't break it. I will check when I come back! "

Chi Yuhua held the mirror tightly with both hands, as if telling Cai-lian li, and as if telling herself, "The mirror will never break! Don't worry, whether it's 20 years or 30 years, even 50 years, 60 years, 100 years, as long as you don't come back, I will wait until the day when our husband and wife are reunited! "

"good! You wait for me! The fortune teller said that my life is very long, and I will come back safely to accompany you until I die! "

But who would have thought that their parting this time would eventually become a permanent tactic and a century-old contract would eventually become a reality. ...

After returning to the village, Chi Yuhua silently shouldered the burden of the family and took care of the life of the whole family as usual. In addition, she also participated in the literacy class in the village, begging for words from others every day and learning culture by herself.

At this time, her husband wrote her the first letter from home, in which she asked Chi Yuhua to study culture hard, take an active part in revolutionary work and take good care of herself. Chi Yuhua tried to answer Li Cailian's letter, but he didn't know enough words. He tried several times without success.

Soon after, Chi Yuhua found that she was pregnant and spent a lot of time writing letters and told Li Cailian the good news. Her husband wrote back and told her to take care of herself and come back to see the children after they were born. He also said that he had made up his mind to take Chi Yuhua to work around him. This makes Chi Yuhua very happy and looks forward to the happy life of the family of three in the future.

Chi Yuhua waited and waited, and finally received a transfer order, and was about to go to Xingguo County Women's Committee as an inspector. At this time, just before the Long March of the Red Army, Li Cailian was ordered to come to Xingguo County to deal with the retreat of the Red Army. So Li Cailian wrote a letter in a hurry, telling his wife to meet in the city within seven days. But the accident still happened, and something even more terrible happened. ...

At that time, the plague was rampant in Jiaofu village, and there was a lack of medical care and medicine in the countryside. Five people died in the Li family alone. Chi Yuhua, who went home to go through the transfer formalities, was unfortunately seriously ill and bedridden for a long time.

Due to special circumstances, this letter has been turned over several times and sent to Chi Yuhua for a week. Husband and wife missed it like this, and there is no possibility of seeing each other again in this life. This letter also became Li Cailian's last letter to his wife, and Chi Yuhua kept it for a lifetime.

Since the Long March of the Central Red Army, Xingguo has fallen into white terror, and the enemy will naturally not let go of the families of the Red Army. For example, Chi Yuhua was forced to remarry. At this time, Chi Yuhua was too old to move, and the village was full of sentries, so she had nowhere to escape. At this time, a friend who has always had a good relationship found Chi Yuhua and asked to reorganize his family.

Chi Yuhua hitched zheng, she couldn't believe that this person who regarded himself as his brother would say such a thing to herself. "I ..." Before she said anything, the man quickly interrupted and poured out his secret love and feelings for Chi Yuhua for many years. And promised that after the child was born, he would regard it as his own child and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family.

Surprised, Chi Yuhua quickly calmed himself down, restrained his inner panic and said to him in a soft tone: "I am very grateful for your help over the years, but I only have Cai Lian in my heart and I only want him in my life. No matter what the enemy does, I just want to wait for him. From now on, I will treat you as my own brother. "

After that, Chi Yuhua knelt down to him guiltily, giving up the idea of starting a family with himself.

1935, the child of Li Cailian and Chi Yuhua was born and named "Pan Pan", which is self-evident. At that time, Chi Yuhua had lost contact with her husband for a long time, and everyone around her told her that "Li Cailian was dead", but Chi Yuhua didn't listen to a word.

Every night, Chi Yuhua has the same dream: her husband wears a military uniform and rides back to the village to reunite with her and Pan Pan. But at this time, she will wake up from her dream, without her husband's warm arms, only a long night to accompany her until dawn.

With the wind getting tighter and tighter, the Kuomintang madly burned and looted in the Soviet area, and the blood immediately dyed the land of southern Jiangxi. News of the murder of Li Cailian's relatives followed. Chi Yuhua is more worried about her husband's safety. As he went up the mountain to chop wood, he asked around about the whereabouts of the Red Army. Day after day, I finally got useful news: the Red Army and guerrillas appeared in the Tongboshan area of Ruijin.

Since both the Red Army and the guerrillas are here, there will be news of the talented Lotus. With this in mind, Chi Yuhua made up her mind to find a husband. No matter how her family persuaded her, she just ate the weight and made up her mind. Bullet your teeth, entrust your daughter Pan Pan to your family, and leave the village with dry food and a knife for self-defense.

Chi Yuhua begged all the way and embarked on a long road to find a husband. After many hardships, she finally came to Tongbo Mountain. She is unkempt and ragged, even Rao's acquaintances may not recognize Chi Yuhua. When she was hungry, she picked some wild vegetables to satisfy her hunger. Sleepy, the cave is the place to rest. Chi Yuhua kept wandering in the mountains, looking around, and was almost put into prison by the enemy several times.

As long as he gets the relevant information, Chi Yuhua will try no matter how far and tired he is. I remember once, she heard that there were guerrillas fighting somewhere. She gave up everything and risked her life to get there. When I arrived at my destination, the battle was over and the ground was covered with bloody bodies. Chi Yuhua's heart hung in his throat and walked past with heavy steps.

Later, Chi Yuhua suddenly rushed forward and rummaged through them one by one until she saw all the bodies and found no husband. Chi Yuhua was relieved. If you don't find someone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to think in another direction. At least prove that the person is okay. But is this really the case?

Just then, Chi Yuhua saw a notice posted by the Kuomintang in a small village at the foot of the mountain: a reward of 5,000 yuan was offered for the capture of Li Cailian ... and the heads of other leaders. Chi Yuhua was ecstatic. Thankfully, her husband is still alive and she finally has hope. The next second, she took out the mirror that Li Cailian gave her, and her heart was full of confidence, believing that he would definitely come back.

After searching from house to house in the mountainous areas of Fujian and Jiangxi for a year, Chi Yuhua still had no news of her husband, so she had to return to Jiaofu Village with regret and began to wait endlessly.

Because Chi Yuhua is a red sister-in-law (the wife of the Red Army), the enemy simply made up his mind to buy off people. Fortunately, Li's clan is strong and Chi Yuhua loves peace, but he always lives under the surveillance of the enemy. However, it rained all night, and Pan Pan, who was less than three years old, died. This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Chi Yuhua. The husband's life and death are uncertain, and the child has suffered this catastrophe.

On that rainy night, Chi Yuhua knelt in front of Pan Pan's grave and wept bitterly. After that, her spirit almost collapsed, saying nothing every day and working hard. At that time, the only belief that supported Chi Yuhua's survival was her husband Li Cailian.

Time flies, time flies, and a few years have passed. The sapium tree at the head of the village is green again, and the mirror is mottled, leaving a deep gap on the threshold. Li Cailian still hasn't come back.

1In August, 949, the PLA came to Xingguo County. Chi Yuhua couldn't restrain her inner excitement, dressed up and came to the city happily. In order to go to Li See to pick lotus early, Chi Yuhua waited on the way through the troops. After three days, she gradually changed from hopeful to disappointed. Li Cailian still has no news! Where the hell did he go!

Chi Yuhua can't control herself any more. She wants to write to Mao Zedong. After many twists and turns, the chairman really received this letter. Chairman Mao knows Chi Yuhua and remembers Li Cailian vividly, but the truth is too cruel for Chairman Mao to say.

Therefore, Chairman Mao forwarded the letter to Cai Chang, chairman of the Women's Federation, asking her to write back to appease Chi Yuhua. In the process of reply, Cai Chang didn't know how to write, and finally didn't mention Li Cailian, just told Chi Yuhua to "work hard and wait patiently".

Chi Yuhua, who received the reply, seems to be relieved and rekindled hope. She believes that her husband is still alive, but she is too busy at work to find time to go home.

In fact, Li Cailian had already devoted herself to the revolution, which was in the second year of their separation.

In those vicissitudes of life, Chi Yuhua wrote his thoughts in his diary, worked hard and actively produced. Unconsciously, all kinds of awards are plastered all over the wall, and the hard-earned honor cannot be shared by people who love wholeheartedly.

Every morning, Chi Yuhua always takes out the mirror and touches it gently. When the sun goes down, she always steps on the threshold and looks at the winding path in the distance with deep eyes. Muttered over and over again: "Cai Lian, how are you?" When eating, Chi Yuhua always leaves a pair of chopsticks for her husband, even if he doesn't come back.

In this way, the black hair was dyed silvery white by the wind and frost of the years, and the smooth face was gradually covered with wrinkles. Chi Yuhua waited for her husband's Waiting for Me for most of her life. Even at this time, she is still looking forward to the day of reunion with her husband.

Finally, Chi Yuhua finally learned the news of her husband's sacrifice, but she firmly denied it and threw away the martyr's card with Li Cailian's name on it, arguing: "Wrong! You're mistaken! Cai Lian didn't sacrifice. My husband promised me that he would come back, and he will definitely come back. You go! I won't believe you! "

Although he is over eighty years old, Chi Yuhua is still infatuated and loyal. From beginning to end, she didn't believe in the so-called truth, she only believed in her heart!

Later, Chi Yuhua came to Xingguo Martyrs Cemetery and found the name of her husband Li Cailian among the names of more than 20,000 martyrs. At this moment, in the face of 72 years of suffering, Chi Yuhua has no tears, because it has dried up during that long time. She still keeps the old habit of touching the mirror and looking at the path at the village entrance every day. ...

On April 24, 2005, 95-year-old Chi Yuhua passed away with regret, but she never waited for her sweetheart to return. Chi Yuhua told his descendants before he died: "After I left, there were only three letters from home written by Cai Lian and the mirror sent to me. Just bury me next to the Chinese tallow tree. That's where I said goodbye to him. I want to reunite with my husband there! "

Chi Yuhua closed her affectionate eyes and hurried to another world to start a new journey with her lover.

The most touching and sincere love in the world is "never forget"!
