During the War of Resistance Against Japan, many heroes died for national independence. Some of them became well-known heroes, commemorated and worshipped by future generations, and some became unsung heroes, and their figures and deeds were gradually obliterated in the torrent of history.
The girl we are talking about today is almost forgotten by people.
In 1926, in a poor peasant family in Qing'antun, Rongcheng City, Shandong Province, a female doll named Zhang Jinglin was born. Zhang Jinglin's life was not good, his father died two months before he was born, and his mother took on the family's farm work alone, and also worked in the kitchen of a school to earn some money to subsidize the family.
Poor children are in charge early. After Zhang Jinglin understood things, she knew that she had to share the pressure of life for her mother, and under the influence of her mother's strong and stubborn personality, she also developed a straight and strong personality. When Zhang Jinglin was 10 years old, a half-day school for girls was set up in the village. Her mother thought that reading could make a difference, so she saved money and provided Zhang Jinglin with study. Zhang Jinglin did not live up to her mother's expectations, and not only learned knowledge in school, but also understood a lot of principles of being a person. In 1940, Japanese devils swept the village. In the same year, Qing'antun established the Village Women's Salvation Association. Zhang Jinglin personally watched the Japanese army burn and loot in the village, flatten the wheat fields, and loot cattle and sheep, and she has always been full of justice, and after this sweep, she resolutely joined the village women's rescue association.
The organization saw that she was young and was a female doll, and originally did not agree to her joining, but in the end she could not get it, so she had to agree. In 1941, because of his hard work, Zhang Jinglin was recommended as an officer of the Eshi Township Women's Self-Defense Regiment, responsible for sending out sentry and collecting intelligence. Once, while on a mission with her comrades, she was discovered by traitors and reported to the Japanese. The Japanese army led troops to besiege, in order to cover the comrades' retreat, Zhang Jinglin was alone and broke off, and led the Japanese army away. In the end, the comrades were safe, but she fell into the hands of the Japanese army.
When the Japanese army saw that Zhang Jinglin was very young, they felt that it was easy to ask for information from this little girl's mouth, but they never expected that it would be more difficult for Zhang Jinglin to open his mouth than to ascend to the sky. They had used soldering irons, pepper water and other torture devices, but they had not been able to pry open Zhang Jinglin's mouth. In the end, the Japanese army ruthlessly killed Zhang Jinglin and hung her head in the village for public display. After Zhang Jinglin's sacrifice, the deeds were not disseminated, and they were gradually submerged by the torrent of history. It was not until 58 years later, after watching the movie "Liu Hulan", that an old revolutionary remembered the story of Zhang Jinglin and specially wrote a memoir, and her glorious deeds were spread from then on.
