Since 1919, in order to save the fate of the nation, countless revolutionary ancestors have participated in the exploration and practice of the Chinese revolutionary road.
At the call of the Party organization, the sons and daughters of China who were in danger of saving the nation from peril joined the Party organization and became an important component force in the revolutionary army under the leadership of the Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and other Party organizations. They went to battle many times to kill the enemy and protect the safety of the people.
When New China was founded and the country was stable, some revolutionaries hid their merits and names and chose to take the initiative to hide their experience of revolutionary struggle. They became real people, had children, and lived ordinary, ordinary lives.
Among them, Jia Chunying of Hubei is one of these revolutionaries who have hidden their merits and fame. It wasn't until 28 years after her death that her descendants learned of her heroic deeds.
Death of the peasant woman
After the reform and opening up, a wave of reform was set off on the land of China. Some old people who have come from the revolutionary and war years have once again seen a new opportunity for China's development.
Among them, Jia Chunying, who has lived for many years in Panyan Village, Taogang Town, Yangxin County, Huangshi City, Hubei Province, is one of these elderly people. Here, Jia Chunying and her son live in an ordinary farmhouse. Like the other farmers in the village, Jia Chunying's family goes to the fields every day to work.
In 1984, Jia Chunying, who was seventy-two years old, passed away accompanied by his family. Jia Chunying's death, like the death of other peasant elders, only the villagers came to mourn. After surviving the grief caused by his mother's death, Jia Chunying's son still had to go to the field to farm. The family's life has not changed much.
With the passage of time, the impression of Jia Chunying, a hubei village woman who died in 1984, has gradually faded from people's memories. However, 28 years after her death, a fortuitous event led to the discovery of her secret.
In 2012, when Jia Chunying's grandson Pan Ping was sorting out the belongings in the house, he accidentally read some materials left by his grandmother. On one of the pieces of paper, the words "Heroine" and "Sister Chun with Two Guns" were written impressively.
Pan Ping went to ask his father with doubts. At this time, Pan Ping learned that her grandmother, who had been dead for 28 years, had her true identity as a revolutionary hero who protected the people and annihilated countless enemies. He also slowly learned about the extraordinary experience of his grandmother Jia Chunying.
Heroes
Jia Chunying was born in 1912 to a rural family in Huangshi City, Hubei Province. In that era, the poverty of farm life, coupled with the influence of the feudal idea of son preference, most of the baby girls born were abandoned or given to others.
Therefore, when Jia Chunying was only eight months old, her parents sent her to relatives as a child bridesmaid. At a relative's house, Jia Chunying needs to do a lot of farm work. While cutting firewood on a mountain, she accidentally fell from the hillside. It was also this accident that made her life turn around.
After falling down the hillside, Jia Chunying was rescued by a passerby. The person who saved her was none other than her cousin Luo Guanguo. At that time, Luo Guanguo had received a new type of education and was a well-known progressive youth in the local area.
After learning of his cousin Jia Chunying's encounter, Luo Guanguo sent his cousin to a safe place and often helped her. Gradually, under the influence of his cousin, Jia Chunying also joined the party organization and became a revolutionary who was full of enthusiasm for revolutionary work.
After participating in the revolution, Jia Chunying actively carried out ideological education to women in the vast rural areas and made outstanding contributions to women's ideological emancipation.
In addition, she was repeatedly involved in front-line work against the enemy. In order to protect the revolutionaries of the party organization, Jia Chunying participated in the Yangxin Massacre and the Pingjiang Autumn Harvest Riots. In the process of fighting wits and courage against the enemy again and again, Jia Chunying grew into an excellent revolutionary.
In the process of revolution, Jia Chunying also harvested love. She and her comrade-in-arms Pan Tao fell in love with each other. In 1935, Jia Chunying, who had already gotten rid of the identity of a child bride, married Pan Tao. After marriage, the two had a deep affection and always supported each other.
Because of the arrangement of the party organization, her husband Pan Tao was transferred to work near the Yangtze River. The organization took into account the relationship between the two couples, so it wanted Jia Chunying to go to the new work place with her husband. For the sake of the overall situation, Jia Chunying rejected the organization's proposal on the grounds that "the country has no peaceful day, let alone talk about the family".
In 1936, while delivering supplies for the Red Army, Jia Chunying was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang reactionaries because of the betrayal of traitors. In the face of the threat of the reactionaries, Jia Chunying always adhered to the spirit of sacrificing his life and forgetting death, not yielding to the enemy and not betraying his comrades-in-arms.
It was not until 1937, after the formal establishment of the national united front of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, that Jia Chunying was released from prison. After her release from prison, she immediately threw herself into revolutionary work again.
In 1940, Jia Chunying gave birth to her first son with Pan Tao. However, the joy of her son's birth did not last long, and she received bad news about her husband: Pan Tao was heroically killed in a battle with the Japanese army.
Jia Chunying, who experienced the pain of widowhood, raised their children alone while continuing to participate in revolutionary work. From the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the War of Liberation, Jia Chunying was always active in the front line of revolutionary work and contributed to revolutionary work.
Quietly reclusive
Shortly after the founding of New China, Jia Chunying resigned from the post arranged by the party organization and returned to his hometown in Huangshi, Hubei Province, with his son.
Here, Jia Chunying hides her identity and lives and works as an ordinary rural woman. In her conversations with the villagers, she never used her heroic deeds as a talking point. As a result, few of her children and grandchildren know about her revolutionary experience.
If it were not for the fact that his grandson Pan Ping accidentally found the items left by his grandmother, with the passage of time, Jia Chunying's heroic deeds would be little known.
The deeds of the revolutionary heroes deserve to be remembered by everyone. Therefore, in 2012, 28 years after Jia Chunying's death, which is also the 100th anniversary of her birth, Huangshi City, Hubei Province, held a grand symposium to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Comrades Jia Chunying and Pan Tao.
At the forum, Jia Chunying's heroic deeds were widely publicized. The deeds of martyr Jia Chunying were widely reported by the media. Some people even use "Scarf Furong, indifferent and blooming" to highly evaluate and summarize Jia Chunying's life.
Jia Chunying once said to my comrades-in-arms: I joined the revolution not to obtain the superior treatment given by the organization, but for the freedom of the country, so that the poor could have food to eat.
In Jia Chunying's body, we once again see the spirit of indomitability and serving the country and the people in the revolutionary ancestors. It was their selfless and fearless efforts that brought us today's happy and stable life. The revolutionary ancestors and their heroic deeds deserve our eternal remembrance and remembrance.
