In September 1933, Mao Zedong came to Huangpao Mountain in Tongcheng County, Hubei Province for the third time, and he was no stranger to this place.
As early as July 1927, Mao Zedong first came to Huangpao Mountain, when the Autumn Harvest Uprising had not yet broken out, mao Zedong came here, mainly together with Luo Ronghuan, to organize the Peasant Army Self-Defense Army.
On August 20 of that year, under the leadership of Luo Ronghuan, Liu Jisong and others, an armed struggle to seize Tongcheng County was launched.
In the summer of 1929, Mao Zedong came to Huangpao Mountain for the second time, this time, he established the Red 16th Army, although there were only 300 guns, but with the full cooperation of the military and the people, he soon founded the Xiang'egan Revolutionary Soviet District and established the Tongcheng County Soviet Government, and half a month later, Mao Zedong returned to Jinggangshan.
When Mao Zedong came to Huangpao Mountain for the third time in 1933, the local revolution was already thriving, which made him very happy, and in his spare time, Mao Zedong, accompanied by Li Hailian, chairman of the Tongxian Soviet Government, visited Huang Ju's mother, who he recognized at that time.
Not long after Mao Zedong arrived at the home of Huang Ju's mother in the night pearl nest of huangpao mountain, the reactionary He Yajun led an army to surround the entire village, threatening to ask the villagers to hand over the communists who had mixed into the village, otherwise they would wash the yellow robe mountain in blood.
Who was Mao Zedong? Where would he watch the villagers being implicated in himself? I was about to stand up, but I was pulled by my own mother, Huang Ju' mother.
Only to see Huang Ju's mother walk out of the crowd, pointing to her second son Wu Chaobing: "He just entered the village, we don't know!" ”。
Listening to his mother say this, where would Wu Chaobing not know what his mother meant? Standing there motionless, he was eventually taken away and shot by the reactionaries, and he also gave the head to Chiang Kai-shek for merit and reward, and the result was discovered.
Huang Ju's mother used her son's life to exchange for the life of her son Mao Zedong, and when Huang Ju's mother heard the news of her son's sacrifice, she could imagine how sad she was.
In fact, this is not the first child huang Ju's mother sacrificed for the revolution.
Huang Ju's mother's bumpy life
Huang Ju's mother, real name Huang Juxi, Tongxian Huangpaoshan people, the father died early, the mother remarried, at the age of 12, she went to a local Wu family as a child bride, the husband and wife gave birth to 3 sons and 2 daughters, although the life is poor, but also happy and harmonious.
Unfortunately, in 1916, Huang Juma's husband Wu Licheng fell seriously ill and died because he had no money for medical treatment.
At that time, Huang Ju's mother, only 34 years old, a person to take care of 5 children, is extremely difficult, but even so, Huang Ju's mother still did not choose to remarry, with her own strength, pull her children to grow up, the most difficult time, Huang Ju's mother even took her children out to beg.
In such a day, Huang Ju's mother lived for more than 10 years, until her children gradually grew up, and life was better.
In the 1920s, when red ideas spread to Tongcheng County, peasant associations and women's associations were established, and although Huang Jumo, who had suffered the hardships of life, was already in her 40s at the time, under the influence of revolutionary ideas, she also actively participated in various movements.
In 1927, Huang Ju's mother came to a special guest's home, he did not use his real name, but used the code name c-1, although I do not know who he is, but the first time we met, Huang Ju's mother had a sense of intimacy in her heart, the reason is not him, he and his eldest son look too much alike, no contact with people, generally difficult to distinguish.
Huang Ju's mother thought that this was a rare fate, so she wanted to recognize "c-1" as a righteous son, seeing that Huang Ju's mother was so enthusiastic, "c-1" readily agreed, and affectionately called her Ju Ma, afterwards, Huang Ju's mother learned that this "c-1" was the famous Mao Zedong.
On August 20, 1928, Tongcheng County took the lead in the autumn harvest uprising, and Huang Ju's mother was very happy to see the fire of revolution burning in her hometown.
5 children died for the revolution
In 1930, the Red 16th Army entered Yezhuwo, seeing this poor army, Huang Juma immediately mobilized her eldest son Wu Chaoyi to join the army, Wu Chaoyi also actively responded to the call of the organization, became a member of the "demolition team", born on the battlefield like death, soon, because of his good performance, became a party member, and made a battle merit in the battle against Jiangping County and Wanzai County.
Looking at her son's good news of meritorious service, Huang Ju's mother was excited and successively sent Chao Bing, Chao Fu and 2 daughters into the Red Army.
If there is a revolution, there will be sacrifices, Huang Ju's mother's 5 children, the first to sacrifice is her daughter Wu Guifeng.
In November 1930, the Tongcheng County guerrilla brigade fought against the Cao family of Xiushuiyuan in Dapanshan, and Wu Guifeng, who was seriously injured, was unfortunately captured.
In the face of the enemy's severe torture to extract a confession, Wu Guifeng was unyielding, and in the end, he was cut by the enemy's abdomen and cut his breast, and he was brutally killed.
The tragic death of her daughter did not shake Huang Juma's revolutionary determination, and she still encouraged the remaining four children to stand up for the revolution.
Immediately after that, it was Wu Chaobing, who was heroic and righteous to save Mao Zedong.
When they learned that they had been deceived, the reactionaries were furious and frantically searched for the Red Army in the area of the Huangpao Mountain.
After the sacrifice of Wu Guifeng and Wu Chaobing, Huang Ju's mother buried her grief deep in her heart and wrote a letter to her eldest son, Wu Chaoyi, who was fighting bloodily on the front line, asking him to turn his grief into strength, kill more enemies, and never look back.
Wu Chaoyi remembered his mother's teachings, and fought the battlefield, but unfortunately, in July 1934, in Tonggu and Yifeng, Wu Chaoyi's unit was ambushed by the enemy, and Wu Chaoyi, who served as a blocker, was unfortunately hit by 7 bullets in the fierce battle and died heroically.
The sacrifice of 3 children in succession, how big the blow to Huang Ju's mother can be imagined, but Huang Ju's mother still beat her spirit, washed and cooked for the Red Army, and helped the Red Army without reservation.
In 1936, Wu Chaofu, the third son of Huang Ju's mother, followed the troops to Wanghudong for repairs, only to be informed by traitors and attacked by the security team of Ge Huangfu, who "shoveled the common ma tiger".
The reactionaries saw that Wu Chaofu, who was the captain of the Red Army at the time, could not act, and immediately went forward to arrest him; what they did not expect was that Wu Chaofu was holding a grenade in his hand, and when the enemy approached, he immediately pulled out the grenade and died with seven or eight enemies...
So far, Huang Ju's mother has lost 4 children.
After Wu Chaofu's sacrifice, Huang Ju's mother poured all her love into her daughter Wu Fugui, often watching Fugui silently shed tears, and Fugui, who was deeply influenced by the family, knew her mother's thoughts, and cried to her mother: "For the sake of the poor, for the revenge of an older brother and sister, I am willing to carry a steel gun and repay the blood debt from the enemy!" ”。
In April 1937, Wu Fugui bid farewell to his mother, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and went to look for an organization, but not long after he went out, he was caught by the "shoveling communist group" and shot Wu Fugui to death.
Not only that, Ge Huangfu, the leader of the "Shovel Communist Regiment", also brutally buried Wu Fugui for three days, and said to Huang Ju's mother viciously: "Bandit mother-in-law, leave you a dog's life, go door to door and beg, let everyone see the fate of the Red Army!" At this point, Huang Ju's mother's 5 children were all sacrificed.
Since then, Huang Ju's mother has been arrested by reactionaries many times, and torture and imprisonment are common things, and she has been tortured for more than 30 kinds.
Later, Huang Ju's mother left her hometown, hid in the mountains, and lived a life of slash and burn like a primitive person, until after the founding of New China, she did not return to normal life.
Ascended to Tiananmen Square
After descending the mountain, Huang Ju's mother threw herself into the Qing bandits' anti-hegemony and agrarian revolution, and after the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Huang Ju's mother mobilized her grandchildren to rush to the battlefield.
Although before 1937, Huang Ju's mother's 5 children had all been sacrificed, but for many years, the organization has not forgotten this heroic mother, her dry son Chairman Mao, also has not forgotten.
In October 1959, the 77-year-old Huang Ju's mother was invited by Chairman Mao to attend the National Day ceremony and ascend to Tiananmen Square.
In addition to Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Mr. Zhu and others all warmly received her, which made the old man moved, and what moved Huang Ju's mother even more was that her 5 children did not sacrifice in vain, and in her lifetime, she finally saw the ideal country.
Although Huang Ju's mother's 5 children have all been sacrificed, she has grandchildren to take care of and still spends a beautiful and happy old age.
In 1971, Huang Ju's mother died at the age of 89.
In order to commemorate the great contribution made by this great mother to the revolution, the people of Huangpao Mountain erected a monument for her and built a martyr's tomb for his five children for future generations to visit.
