One day in 1979, Huang Huoqing, deputy state-level leader and chief procurator of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, went out to handle official business.
When he rode to the gate of the compound in a red flag sedan, suddenly an old man dressed as a farmer rushed over and prepared to stop the car
。 The driver in charge of driving the master also confused for a while, slammed a sharp brake, and avoided the tragedy.
The driver rolled down the window and shouted angrily to the old man:
"You don't want to die!"
At this time, the old man could not care less about explaining. He shouted into the car window:
"Old Chief, I am Xiao Chengjia of the Red Ninth Army Propaganda Team, and I am your soldier!"
Xiao Chengjia, a native of Ji'an, Jiangxi. Although Xiao Chengjia's family was not rich, his parents were very enlightened and sent him to a private school when he was very young. Xiao Chengjia was also very competitive and became a well-known little talent in the village who could read and hyphenate. However, in those chaotic times, people were displaced, and it was difficult to put a quiet desk in the school. After two years at a private school, Xiao Chengjia was forced to drop out of school and return home to help her parents. At this time, Xiao Chengjia was at a loss, and he urgently needed someone to show him the direction.
In 1928, a revolutionary storm swept through the Ji'an area. At the age of 12, Xiao Chengjia actively threw himself into the torrent of revolution under the influence of progressive ideas, and he was the first to sign up for the local peasant association organization. Under the leadership of the party organization, Xiao Chengjia led the members of the children's league to fight the local tycoons during the day and divide the fields, and at night he was responsible for standing guard and guarding the sentry, and his excellent performance was praised many times by the party organization.
When Xiao Chengjia was young, he attended a private school for a few years and was a well-known talent in the village who could read and hyphenate. The cultural knowledge he had learned came in handy at this time, writing slogans and shouting slogans, and he was good at everything.
1931, because
He was educated from an early age to write slogans and slogans
。 Therefore, as a young cadre with a good cultural foundation and progressive thinking, he was arranged by his superiors
The Fifth Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of China officially became a soldier of the Red Army.
The Fifth Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was formed by the Twenty-sixth Army of the Kuomintang Army. In that year, the Twenty-sixth Army was ordered by its superiors to encircle and suppress the CCP Soviet area. This
At the beginning of the battle, the Red Army completely annihilated a division.
This dealt a great blow to the non-commissioned officers at that time, and the soldiers also developed war-weariness because of this battle.
At this time, Zhao Bosheng, a secret party member of our party lurking in the Twenty-sixth Route Army, seized this opportunity, joined forces with officers with progressive ideas, held an uprising in Ningdu, led more than seventeen thousand people to join the Red Army, and was incorporated into the Red Fifth Army.
After 1935, the Red-Red-Four Fronts were victoriously divided. Xiao Chengjia was sent to the West Road Army to carry out work, and it was not long after the Battle of Gulang.
In this battle, Xiao Chengjia was seriously wounded and hit by shrapnel in many places on his body, and if it were not for the soldiers pulling him out of the pile of dead people, it is estimated that he would have died here. As soon as they escaped from the hands of the God of Death, their troops were surrounded by the Ma family army.
Because Xiao Chengjia was seriously injured, and he was only 20 years old at the time, he looked like a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old child, so he was sent back to his native Taihe County, Jiangxi Province, by Ma Jiajun and imprisoned in the prison of the Taihe County Reactionary Militia.
Xiao Chengjia's mother learned that her son was being held in prison, and she sold the family's grain and livestock, and barely scraped together 30 silver dollars to save her son from prison.
Since then, Xiao Chengjia has completely lost contact with the Red Army, and no one knows that he was once a member of the Red Army.
After escaping from the Kuomintang prison, Xiao Chenggui stayed in his hometown and married and had children. In 1949, when the People's Liberation Army hit Jiangxi, Xiao Chenggui learned that the People's Liberation Army in front of him was the Red Army of that year, and he wept with joy.
More than a decade later, the team that made him dream of it has finally liberated all of China.
Years later, Xiao Chengjia repeatedly told the government department about his experience and hoped to restore his Red Army military status.
But he could not produce the materials to prove everything he had said. Later, government officials informed him that
By finding a certificate from the leader who was in the Red Army, you can restore your Red Army membership.
By chance, Xiao Chengjia heard on the radio that his superior leader was.
Huang Huoqing has become chief procurator of the Supreme People's Procuratorate in Beijing.
In order to restore his Red Army rank, he decided to go to Beijing to find his former superiors.
Then the opening scene happened.
Two people have been separated for decades, and there are great changes on both sides, and it is normal not to recognize them.
But Huang Huoqing looked at Xiao Chengjia with an anxious face, so he led him to his office, and after sitting down, Huang Huoqing said: You said it was my old subordinate, how do you prove it?
Hearing this sentence, Xiao Chengjia suddenly sang a song: Walking is not afraid of road bends, climbing mountains is not afraid of thorns. While he was singing, Huang Huoqing also sang along with him, singing and singing that both people were in tears, and after singing, Huang Huoqing said:
Are you Xiao Chengjia of that propaganda team? This song is what I taught you isn't it.
That night, Huang Huoqing took Xiao Chengjia back to his home, and made a table of meals, the two of them talked about wine, the next day he wrote a proof for Xiao Chengjia, and took 200 pounds of food stamps and 50 yuan, saying: This is my little heart, you must accept it.
Seven years later, the state civil affairs department looked for the old Red Army, Xiao Chengjia's hometown also held a commemorative ceremony for the long-lost old Red Army, the county leaders announced to the audience, invited the red army veterans to the stage to receive the Red Army card, the venue resounded thunderous applause.
Xiao Chengjia trembled and received this Red Army certificate, and two lines of clear tears fell on his face that had been full of vicissitudes.
After the deeds of the elderly Xiao Chengjia came out, some relevant departments went to visit the elderly, and in the face of the inquiries of the people, the elderly Xiao Chengjia replied:
"In my life, I am honored to be a Red Army, and now that my identity has been found again, I have no regrets in this life."
