Lop Nur, located in the Tarim Basin, is known as the disappearing fairy lake, where the city was once full of people; The Book of Mountains and Seas calls it Youze, which means a lake where many waters converge. However, due to man-made destruction and natural causes, it is now barren and uninhabited, becoming a place of adventure, leaving the souls of many explorers

To get back to the point, as the old saying goes, it is easy to do things with money, Ma Fuxiang easily booked a ticket for me at five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was a whole two soft sleeper cars, because there was no high-speed rail and bullet train at that time, so it took almost three days from my home to Yunnan, so the soft sleeper is equivalent to the first class of the plane, and the reason why the old horse did not set the plane was because the plane security check was too strict, and it was inconvenient to bring some items

This time, the entourage is even larger, led by Liu Haichun, there are twenty-eight people who accompanied me in the past, except for three women who are a bit like civilian personnel, the others should look like bodyguards, although a little ostentatious, but this is not bad can let me experience the feeling of being the boss in advance

Two soft sleepers are hung behind the front of the car, and there are two bodyguards guarding the aisle at the mouth of the sleeper, so no one disturbs the special clean, and the conductor saw our formation and thought that it was a big man on patrol, and when serving us, he was very careful, I thought if he knew my true identity was a middle school student, would he vomit blood

Liu Haichun and I live in the No. 1 sleeper, this sleeper is only spacious in the lower berth, which is the presidential suite among the sleepers

Liu Haichun may have something on his mind today, so he didn't look at the chicken soup for the soul that he carried with him, but prepared some wine and food, and smiled at me: Brother, you are a good friend of the chairman, so I didn't treat you as an outsider, how about having a drink with my eldest brother today

Brother Liu, you are too polite, then I will be respectful, it is better to obey the fate, and after speaking, I saluted Liu Haichun with a glass of wine.

After a few glasses of wine, Liu Haichun's face turned slightly red, and he sighed and smiled at me: Do you want to hear the story of the eldest brother

Liu Haichun drank another glass of wine, and talked to himself regardless of whether I wanted to listen to it or not.

Liu Haichun's story begins with his father, Liu Baoguo, whose original name was Liu Baocai, whose hometown was in a remote mountain village in Mengyin County, Shandong Province, where his ancestors had relied on farming for generations.

Because he has been working in the field since he was a child, Liu Baocai was born with a good physique, but because his family is poor, he is illiterate.

Originally, Liu Baocai should have lived a life of facing the loess and facing the sky all his life, just like his ancestors, but in 1947, with the beginning of the Laiwu Campaign, his life also underwent earth-shaking changes.

At the beginning of 1947, the East China Field Army of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) set up an empty city plan in Linyi and annihilated more than 56,000 people from two military headquarters and seven divisions of the Kuomintang Army's appeasement zone headquarters, thus winning a major victory in the Laiwu Campaign

After the Laiwu Campaign, Lao Chiang could not sit still, mobilized 24 reorganized divisions and 60 brigades of about 450,000 people, carried out a key offensive plan, learned the lesson of the previous split attacks were often divided and annihilated, and decided to adopt the tactics of concentrating troops, moving closer together, and steadily advancing at the same time, and rushed towards the liberated areas of Shandong like a flood of beasts

Although our army won a decisive victory in the Battle of Laiwu, the troops also suffered considerable losses, so in Shandong, troops were recruited on the spot to replenish the source of troops

When Liu Baocai heard from the village chief that the People's Liberation Army had conscripted, he immediately rushed dozens of miles of mountain roads overnight to join the army.

Because Liu Baocai was tall and big, he was incorporated into the first column of General Ye Fei's East China Field Army and the first division of the sharp knife battalion

Liu Baocai, who put on a military uniform, was so excited that the folk song sung by his mother when he was a child echoed in his ears: Riding a white horse and carrying a foreign gun, the third brother ate the food of the Eighth Route Army and had the heart to go home to see the girl

In this way, Liu Baocai hummed this folk tune in his mouth to participate in the Battle of Menglianggu, and in the battle for the main peak of Huangya Mountain, because he was the first to rush to the top of the mountain, he was awarded a personal first-class merit and was exceptionally promoted to platoon commander.

After becoming a cadre and putting on a military uniform with four pockets, Liu Baocai worked harder, and then participated in several major battles, including the Liaoshen Campaign, which can be said to be a great achievement, and was also received by Su Yu, the deputy commander of the East China Field Army at that time, and Liu Baoguo's name was changed to him by General Su Yu himself

Later, after the founding of New China, Liu Baoguo came to our city with the army to settle down, and with the help of local comrades, Zhang Bailing, a famous actor of the city's repertory troupe, tied the knot

Zhang Bailing is Liu Haichun's mother, born in Yu Shuxiang's family, her parents are both university professors, she can be said to be a well-informed lady, and she is also beautiful, and she is a well-known beauty.

Being able to marry such a wife, Liu Baoguo is so happy, he can wake up in the middle of the night dreaming, but there are those who laugh and cry

There is a reason why a girl like Zhang Bailing can be committed to marrying Liu Baoguo, because it was in a special era at that time, Zhang Bailing's parents were not from a good background, and they had published a lot of things in foreign magazines before, so they were deducted a lot of hats and often dragged out to criticize on the streets

Looking at the thin body of her parents, I am afraid that she will not be able to last long if she continues to toss like this, and the filial Zhang Bailing is really scratching her intestines in her heart

At this time, a well-wisher paid attention to it, as long as Zhang Bailing can marry a soldier, and she is the kind of person who has military merits, she can turn the situation in the family around

In this way, under the introduction of relatives and friends, Zhang Bailing became strong Liu Baoguo, and in Zhang Bailing's heart, she was unwilling to marry a man like Liu Baoguo, because the two were not at the same level in terms of appearance, cultural level and living habits, but there was no way, because except for the honest Liu Baoguo, which officer was willing to marry a woman with a problematic background like Zhang Bailing.

Later, under the persecution of cruel reality, Zhang Bailing married Liu Baoguo against her will

Many idlers have said: It is impossible to be happy in a marriage without love, which has been best verified in the marriage between Zhang Bailing and Liu Baoguo

After marriage, because of the huge difference in living habits and life tastes, the two often quarreled, which can be said to be a small quarrel for three days, and a big quarrel for five days, and it was not improved until their child Liu Haichun was born

Many idlers have said: Children are easy to be born, but it is difficult to raise them

Although the child brings joy to the family, it also adds a huge burden, because of the child's rearing Zhang Bailing quarreled with Liu Baoguo even more fiercely, because Liu Baoguo thinks that the children are supported by God, don't care too much, didn't he grow up like this

Later, their second child, Liu Haixia, was born again, which made the quarrel between the two heat up

With the breakdown of the relationship between the two, misfortune also came at the same time, Liu Baoguo was unfortunately killed in a live-fire exercise to save a recruit, but this bad news is indeed the bell for Zhang Bailing to start a new life

I can finally leave this man I don't love and start a new life, and I don't have to smell his stinky feet and stinky mouth every day to fall asleep, because Comrade Liu Baoguo doesn't like to wash his feet, and his favorite is stinky tofu to be continued.
