In 1985, the smoke of the Sino-Vietnamese border war was not dissipated, and General Fu Quanyou returned triumphantly. This soldier from a poor background won the victory on the battlefield with his outstanding command skills, and was immediately appointed commander of the Chengdu Military Region. However, when the good news came back to her hometown, Fu Quanyou's wife Guo Chanying was so sad that she cried. Why would this illiterate rural woman be so sad about her husband's promotion? What kind of story is hidden behind her tears?
Difficult years for teenagers to join the army
Fu Quanyou's story begins in rural China in the 30s of the last century. At that time, China was full of wars and the people were struggling to make a living.
Fu Quanyou was born in a poor peasant family and experienced the hardships of life since he was a child. The family was not well fed and clothed, but this stubborn teenager was not knocked down by difficulties.
At the age of 16, Fu Quanyou made a decision that changed his fate: to join the army. This decision was made not only to get rid of poverty, but also to serve the motherland.
The young Fu Quanyou embarked on the road of joining the army with full of enthusiasm. Life in the army is not easy for a rural teenager. Strict discipline and hard training were all tests for him.
But Fu Quanyou, with his indomitable will and extraordinary wisdom, quickly adapted to the life in the barracks. He studied diligently and constantly improved his military qualities.
In the army, Fu Quanyou showed excellent leadership and strategic vision. His performance was quickly appreciated by his superiors.
Starting from an ordinary soldier, Fu Quanyou was promoted step by step and gradually became an excellent officer. The process was not easy, but he always maintained his high spirits.
At the same time, Fu Quanyou's marriage was also settled. According to the customs of the time, he married Guo Chanying from the same village.
Guo Chanying is a typical rural woman, with little education, but hardworking and kind. The marriage of the two is the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, but they are grateful to each other.
Soon after marriage, Fu Quanyou returned to the army. Since then, the two have begun a life of gathering less and leaving more. Guo Chanying stayed in her hometown, took care of her in-laws, and took care of housework.
Fu Quanyou continued his military career in the army. In the era of poor communication, the couple often had to communicate once for several months.
Despite this, Guo Chanying still silently supports her husband's career. She knew that Fu Quanyou was contributing to the country.
Year after year, Fu Quanyou continued to grow in the army. From company commander to battalion commander to regiment commander, his ranks rose through the ranks.
Every promotion is a recognition of his ability. But Fu Quanyou was not complacent because of this, but worked harder.
He knew that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier. As a soldier, it is his responsibility to defend his family and country.
In this process, Fu Quanyou has not forgotten his roots. Every time he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he would bring gifts for his wife and family.
Although he can't accompany him from time to time, Fu Quanyou always cares about his family. He is grateful to Guo Chanying for her dedication over the years and is proud of her.
In this way, time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, Fu Quanyou had been training in the army for more than ten years. He grew from a young boy to a full-fledged officer.
During this period, the international situation has changed. Relations between China and Vietnam have become increasingly tense, and border clashes have escalated.
As an excellent officer, Fu Quanyou was sent to the front. This is another test of his ability and an opportunity for him to serve the motherland.
On the front line, Fu Quanyou showed outstanding military talent. Using flexible tactics, he led his troops to defeat the enemy several times.
His performance attracted the attention of his superiors. On the battlefield, Fu Quanyou was not only a brave warrior, but also an excellent commander.
The baptism of war will shine brightly
In 1985, the smoke of gunfire on the Sino-Vietnamese border had not yet dissipated. General Fu Quanyou led the troops to fight in this land of flames.
War is brutal, but it is also a crucible for soldiers to hone their skills. Fu Quanyou showed outstanding military talent in this war.
He strategized and devised a series of elaborate tactics. Under his command, the troops repeatedly broke through enemy lines, achieving victory after victory.
On the battlefield, Fu Quanyou is not only an excellent commander, but also a heroic soldier. He was often on the front lines and shared the weal and woe with the soldiers.
This spirit of leading by example has greatly boosted morale. Under the leadership of Fu Quanyou, the morale of the troops was high and their combat effectiveness was constantly improved.
In a key battle, the enemy occupied favorable terrain, and it was difficult for our army to attack. Fu Quanyou calmly analyzed the situation and decisively decided to implement a roundabout outflanking.
This bold decision caught the enemy by surprise. Our troops broke through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop and won a decisive victory.
This victory not only repelled the enemy troops, but also greatly increased the control of our troops in the border areas. Fu Quanyou's commanding ability was fully embodied in this battle.
After the war, Fu Quanyou's exploits were highly recognized by his superiors. He not only defended the territory of the motherland, but also accumulated valuable combat experience for our army.
On the occasion of the triumph, an important news came: the central authorities had decided to promote Fu Quanyou to the commander of the Chengdu Military Region. This is an affirmation of his many years of military career and a reward for his performance in this war.
From a rural teenager to a commander of a military region, Fu Quanyou's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. This appointment marked another peak in his military career.
Commander of the Chengdu Military District, this is not a small position. It means greater responsibility, heavier burdens.
Fu Quanyou understood that this position not only required him to have excellent military ability, but also required superb management skills and strategic vision. He secretly made up his mind that he must live up to the trust and make greater contributions to the country and the people.
When the news of the appointment spread, there was jubilation in the troops. Everyone was sincerely happy for Fu Quanyou.
Over the years, Fu Quanyou has won the respect of officers and men with his extraordinary talent and simple style. This promotion is well deserved in everyone's opinion.
However, just when the entire army was immersed in joy, Fu Quanyou had another thing in his heart. That's how to convey the news to the family, especially to his wife Guo Chanying.
He knows what his promotion means to his family. This is not just good news, but a huge change.
Fu Quanyou recalled his wife's dedication over the years. Guo Chanying has been silently waiting in her hometown in the countryside, taking care of her in-laws and taking care of housework.
Over the years, they have gathered less and left more. Every time Fu Quanyou comes home, he can see that his wife is a little older than last time.
He knew in his heart that his success would not be possible without the support of his wife. Although Guo Chanying is an illiterate rural woman, her strength and dedication have provided a solid backing for Fu Quanyou's career.
Thinking of this, Fu Quanyou decided to go home in person and convey the news to his wife. He wanted to thank his wife in person for her dedication over the years, and he also wanted to discuss future arrangements with her.
In this way, with complicated feelings, Fu Quanyou embarked on the road back to his hometown. He didn't know how his wife would react, but he was confident that they would be able to face the challenges ahead together.
Back in his hometown, Fu Quanyou found that nothing had changed much. The roads in the village are still so potholed, and the houses are still so low and dilapidated.
The only thing that has changed may be that the old locust tree at the entrance of the village has grown taller again. A complicated emotion surged in Fu Quanyou's heart.
He strode towards his home, and saw Guo Chanying busy in the yard from a distance. The traces of time are clearly visible on her face, but her figure is still so industrious.
Guo Chanying saw her husband come back, and there was a surprised expression on her face. She hurriedly put down the work in her hand and greeted her.
Fu Quanyou looked at his wife, and his heart was full of gratitude. He knew that the news he was going to tell her next would make a huge difference in her life.
Good news is hard to come by, and there are many worries
Fu Quanyou stood in the courtyard, took a deep breath, and prepared to announce the important news to his wife Guo Chanying. He said softly, "Chanying, I have something to tell you. "
Guo Chanying stopped what she was doing and looked up at her husband, her eyes full of anticipation. Fu Quanyou slowly told the news that he had been appointed commander of the Chengdu Military Region.
As soon as the words fell, Guo Chanying's face suddenly turned pale. She froze in place, unresponsive for a moment. Fu Quanyou thought that his wife would be happy for him, but he didn't expect such a reaction.
Suddenly, Guo Chanying burst into tears and began to cry loudly. Her cry alarmed the neighbors, and several old women rushed to ask what had happened.
Guo Chanying cried so much that she couldn't breathe and couldn't say a complete sentence. Fu Quanyou stood aside, at a loss. He couldn't understand why his wife was so sad.
When the neighbors heard that Fu Quanyou had been promoted, they were all happy for him. But seeing Guo Chanying crying like this, everyone was puzzled.
An elderly aunt patted Guo Chanying on the back and tried to comfort her. "Chanying, it's a good thing that all your family has been promoted, why are you crying?"
Guo Chanying wiped her tears, choked up and said, "I... I can't read, how can I be worthy of being the commander's wife? As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was stunned.
It turned out that Guo Chanying was worried that her education level was not worthy of her husband's new position. She was afraid that she would embarrass Fu Quanyou, and she was even more afraid that it would affect her husband's future.
When Fu Quanyou heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't expect his wife to have such thoughts. In his eyes, Guo Chanying has always been the best wife.
He stepped forward to comfort his wife, but he didn't know where to start. Guo Chanying's tears were still flowing, and her little feet were moving restlessly on the ground.
These little feet are one of the roots of Guo Chanying's inferiority. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the bad habit of binding small feet has long been abolished. But Guo Chanying's generation was still affected by this bad habit.
She felt that she was not only uneducated, but also a "disabled person". How can such a self be worthy of a military district commander?
Fu Quanyou looked at his wife's sad appearance, and his heart became sad. He understands that Guo Chanying's worries are not unreasonable. As the wife of the commander of a military district, there will indeed be a lot of new challenges.
But in his heart, Guo Chanying's dedication is more important than anything else. Over the years, it was because she took care of everything at home that he was able to concentrate on his work.
Fu Quanyou gently took Guo Chanying's hand and said softly, "Chanying, don't worry. You are who you are, and you don't need to change anything. "
Guo Chanying raised her head and looked at her husband with teary eyes. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't. Fu Quanyou continued: "Over the years, if you hadn't taken care of the elderly and housework at home, how would I be where I am today? "
Hearing this, Guo Chanying's tears flowed even more fiercely. She knew that her husband was comforting her, but the worry in her heart could not be eliminated.
Fu Quanyou looked at his wife and suddenly thought of something. He said, "Chanying, do you want to go to Chengdu with me?" We can learn and progress together. "
This proposal made Guo Chanying stunned. Leaving the village where you've lived most of your life and going to live in a big city? The thought made her both look forward to and dread.
She asked hesitantly, "I... Can I do it? Fu Quanyou nodded firmly: "Of course." We face it together and learn together. "
Guo Chanying's tears gradually stopped. She looked at her husband's determined eyes, and a warm current welled up in her heart. Perhaps, this is a new beginning.
Fu Quanyou held his wife's hand and said softly: "Chanying, no matter what difficulties we will encounter in the future, we will face them together, okay?" "
Guo Chanying nodded, a smile on her face. Although the future is unknown, with her husband by her side, she feels as if she can be braver.
When the neighbors saw this, they all laughed. They congratulated Fu Quanyou and his wife one after another, wishing them a bright future.
Guo Chanying wiped away her tears and began to make snacks for everyone. Although she was still apprehensive, she decided to face the challenges ahead bravely.
Fu Quanyou looked at his busy wife, and his heart was full of gratitude. He knows that no matter what the future holds, with such a virtuous helper, he will have the strongest backing.
As night fell, the village fell silent. Fu Quanyou and Guo Chanying sat in the courtyard, chatting about their future plans. Although the road ahead is unknown, they believe that as long as they work together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Hand in hand to create brilliance
Fu Quanyou and Guo Chanying came to Chengdu and started a new life. For Guo Chanying, this bustling metropolis is full of novelties and challenges.
She saw a high-rise building for the first time, got on an elevator for the first time, and used running water for the first time. These things, which seem ordinary to people in the city, are unprecedented experiences for Guo Chanying.
Fu Quanyou looked at his wife's curious and nervous appearance, and always patiently explained every new thing to her. He took Guo Chanying to visit the compound of the military region and introduced her to other officers' families.
Guo Chanying was a little restrained at first, but with Fu Quanyou's encouragement, she gradually let go. She found that the wives of the other officers were friendly and did not despise her because of her origin.
In order to help Guo Chanying better adapt to the new environment, Fu Quanyou specially arranged for a retired old teacher to come to her home to teach her literacy. Although Guo Chanying is not young, her learning momentum is not inferior to that of young people.
Every night, when Fu Quanyou came back from work, he could always see Guo Chanying sitting at the table and writing seriously. Sometimes she would be annoyed that she couldn't remember a certain word, and Fu Quanyou would sit down and review it with her.
Over time, Guo Chanying not only learned basic reading and writing, but also began to read some simple books. Her horizons gradually broadened, and her speech and demeanor became more and more appropriate.
Fu Quanyou watched the changes in his wife, and his heart was both relieved and moved. He knew that the reason why Guo Chanying worked so hard was to not embarrass herself.
At a family gathering of the military region, Guo Chanying took the initiative to share her learning experience. Her simple words and sincere emotions won the applause of everyone present.
Fu Quanyou stood under the stage, looking at his confident wife, his heart was full of pride. He thought that his original decision was really right, Guo Chanying not only did not become his burden, but became his strongest backing.
At the same time, Fu Quanyou also faced many challenges in his work. As the commander of the military district, he has a lot more affairs to deal with than before, and the pressure is even greater.
But whenever he feels tired or difficult, he can always get support and encouragement from Guo Chanying. She would prepare hot meals for Fu Quanyou and patiently listen to him talk about his troubles at work.
Once, Fu Quanyou was overwhelmed by an important military exercise plan. Guo Chanying saw her husband's troubles and offered to help.
Although she didn't understand military affairs, she helped Fu Quanyou clarify his thoughts in her own way. Guo Chanying said: "Don't you often say that fighting a war is like playing chess? Then you treat this exercise as a big game of chess and think it out step by step. "
This simple metaphor gave Fu Quan inspiration. He revisited the entire exercise program and finally came up with an innovative strategy that was highly praised by his superiors.
Fu Quanyou deeply felt that although Guo Chanying did not have a higher education, her simple wisdom and unique perspective could often bring unexpected inspiration to him.
As time went by, Fu Quanyou and Guo Chanying's life in Chengdu became more and more harmonious. Not only have they made progress in their respective fields, but the relationship between husband and wife has also become more harmonious.
One day, Fu Quanyou suddenly received a special task. His superiors asked him to lead a team abroad for military exchanges for a month. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for Fu Quanyou.
He told Guo Chanying the news with some worry. Unexpectedly, Guo Chanying was very supportive of her husband's acceptance of this task. She said, "You can go with confidence, I am at home." "
Before Fu Quanyou left, Guo Chanying specially prepared some daily necessities for him. She also secretly stuffed a letter in Fu Quanyou's luggage, which was full of words of encouragement.
In his days abroad, Fu Quan often thinks of his wife at home. Whenever he encountered difficulties, he would take out Guo Chanying's letter and read it, as if he could feel his wife's support between the lines.
Fu Quanyou performed brilliantly in this foreign exchange, not only completing the task, but also winning praise from international friends for the Chinese army. When he returned with honor, the first person who wanted to share the joy was Guo Chanying.
Back at home, Fu Quanyou was pleasantly surprised to find that Guo Chanying not only kept her home in order, but also learned to use a computer in the past month. She excitedly showed Fu Quanyou how she used the computer to write letters and consult information.
Fu Quanyou looked at the confident smile on his wife's face, and his heart was full of emotion. He deeply felt that it was precisely because of Guo Chanying's support and dedication that he could go all out in his career without worries.
Since then, Fu Quanyou and Guo Chanying's lives have become more satisfying. They are not only husband and wife, but also each other's best friends and partners. No matter what challenges they face, they can work together to overcome them.
In Fu Quanyou's military career, Guo Chanying has always been his strongest backing. For Guo Chanying, being able to accompany her husband to grow up and witness his success is her greatest happiness.
