On June 30, 2009, in Helong Park in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, a solemn and solemn ceremony was underway, which was a funeral ceremony for Marshal He Long, a farewell that had been delayed for 40 years. Under the camera, the staff is pouring concrete for the tomb in a nervous and orderly manner, and every stone and handful of soil is filled with admiration and nostalgia for the great marshal. In front of Marshal He Long's tomb, there are many wreaths, each of which seems to tell people's nostalgia and admiration for him. The newly built marshal tomb is solemn and solemn, the carefully carved marshal head in front is lifelike, and the four big characters of "Marshal Tomb" are written by Xue Ming, the wife of Marshal He Long, and the handwriting reveals endless sorrow and admiration.
It is worth mentioning that the old man Xue Ming was the only surviving marshal's wife at that time, and although she was 93 years old, she still insisted on attending her husband's funeral in person. What many people don't know is that Marshal He Long has never returned here for a long time since he left his hometown in 1925. After 84 years, his heroic spirit finally returned to his hometown and fulfilled his last wish. Many people may wonder why the funeral ceremony was not held until 40 years after Marshal He Long's death in 1969, and it turns out that there are complex historical reasons for this.
As the founding marshal, He Long is also one of the few people who can deserve the lofty title of "boss", and he has deeply influenced countless people with his tenacious will, open-minded character and selfless dedication throughout his life.
Marshal He Long's life is full of legends. His heroic deeds of making a revolution with two kitchen knives are still talked about by people today. However, he made great sacrifices for the sake of the revolution. More than a dozen members of his family, including his father, eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister and cousin, were killed by the enemy because of the revolution. However, these difficulties and pains did not knock Marshal He Long down, but strengthened his convictions.
Throughout his life, Marshal He Long showed a very high sense of responsibility and dedication, no matter what position he was in. He is hardworking, selfless and dedicated, and always sticks to the forefront. However, in that special era, Marshal He Long was brutally persecuted and treated unfairly. These blows weakened his body, culminating in his unjust death in 1969.
After the death of Marshal He Long, his body was quietly cremated and placed in a remote funeral home, even using the fake name "Wang Yu". Later, after painstaking efforts, the task force found his ashes and held a grand memorial service for him. In 1975, Marshal He Long's ashes were buried in Babaoshan Cemetery.
Although Marshal He Long did not leave any last words when he died, his wife Xue Ming knew that his last wish was to return to his hometown in Hunan. So, in 2006, Xue Ming applied to the organization, which was finally approved. Marshal He Long's ashes were taken out of Babaoshan and stored at home for three years, then transported back to his hometown in Hunan, where he was buried. This great revolutionary worked hard for a lifetime, and finally his soul returned to his homeland, and his soul was laid to rest.
