Mao Liying may have been suppressed for too long in the cruel struggle environment, or maybe no one has been talking to her, she really regards Donglanjun as her eldest sister and tells Donglanjun everything about herself.

In fact, Mao Liying's credulity is very dangerous, and this is a serious violation of political discipline, but Mao Liying didn't realize it at all.

"Liying, what happened to you is really legendary, as the eldest sister, I would like to advise you, don't tell me about your experiences in front of others in the future." Dong Lanjun persuaded tactfully.

"Sister Dong, I believe in you, I just told you what I thought, I was panicked in my heart, there are some things I just want to say in front of my relatives, I feel better and brighter when I say it."

Mao Liying couldn't suppress her desire to talk.

"Sister Dong, after the fall of Shanghai last year, a large number of enthusiastic young people are looking for a way out, and I, like them, do not want to stay on this dreary island, I want to go to the mainland, I want to go to Yan'an.

At that time, the work of the Chinese Wartime Service Corps of the Customs was no longer suitable for the environment after the fall, and after repeated discussions with everyone, and with the support of the organization, I decided to organize the "Long March Regiment of the Jiangxi Customs Compatriots to Save the Dead", resigned from the Long March, and went to the customs in Guangzhou and other places to propagate the anti-Japanese resistance.

Under the principle of voluntary registration, I thought it was incumbent on me to resist Japanese patriotism, so I still reported my name, and immediately after I signed up, I told my mother about my plan of action.

My mother couldn't believe my sudden plan, and she said, "What?" You resigned? Going to Guangzhou? Leaving home? Leave me alone? She asked a barrage of questions.

For more than 20 years, I had never left my mother's side for half a step, and at that time, I couldn't contain my emotions and repeated the words carefully to my mother.

Liying, you can't go, mom is old, she can't leave you, you can't go, you can't go!

My mother pleaded with me repeatedly, her voice trembling.

I looked at my mother intently, and saw that my mother's wrinkled face was covered with tears, and I couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.

My mother was afraid that I, the only daughter, would leave her willfully, and she invited relatives to dissuade me from fighting against Japan, and I didn't have to lose my golden job, in a few months, if you have served for seven years, you can get a year's salary as honorarium, you calculate 78 yuan a month, isn't it nearly 1,000 yuan a year? How much effort has it taken to raise you, and you have to know how to be filial ...... daughter.

I thought about it, it was very contradictory, in order to resist Japan and save the country, it was not hesitated to give up this honorarium of nearly 1,000 yuan, but my elderly mother was alone and really needed someone to take care of her.

Two days later, I attended a grand farewell party held by the War Service Corps for the "Long March Regiment", and that scene deeply inspired my heart.

That night, I finally told my mother that I wanted to go to the mainland, and I told my mother that for the liberation of the nation and to drive away the Japanese invaders, I decided to leave, and when the Oriental devils were driven away, our mother and daughter could live a peaceful life.

Mom, forgive me, please forgive your daughter for this action.

We mother and daughter were just relatively silent tears, and my mother knew my character, and once I decided something, I would not look back.

The next afternoon, bidding farewell to my mother, I hurried to the Huangpu River wharf, and boarded a French cruise ship with a group of 19 members of the Long March group.

My colleagues looked at my crying red eyes, and when they saw me carrying my luggage on the cruise ship, everyone was stunned, yesterday you were one of the people who sent a group of young people to the mainland, and today you yourself became a member of the Long March, what is going on?

I was holding back the sadness of saying goodbye to my mother, and said with a smile on my face, is it strange? I suddenly decided to go with you, after sending off the Long March team yesterday, I thought about it all night, and I was sad all night, your courage, your determination, I was so moved, I want to learn from you!

But ...... your mother?

Colleagues asked with concern.

Yes, I love my mother! But I also love my motherland, the motherland in danger, and it needs the blood of our young people to save it!

My mother is old, she only has one daughter, she loves me, I love her, we usually depend on each other, but this time is different, I want to do my best for my motherland, I have to leave her, otherwise, it is impossible to throw myself into the arms of the motherland.

At that time, my mother's cry almost shook my determination, but when I thought of the damage and massacre inflicted on our motherland and our people by the Japanese invaders, I strengthened my determination to go with you.

I was looking at the railing, my thoughts, my breathing, rising and falling with the tide, and since I had chosen this path, I was going to ride the wind and waves, and I would never move forward.

Yan'an is the cradle of revolutionaries.

Thousands of young people across the country yearn for Yan'an, trekking through mountains and rivers to Yan'an to seek a way to save the country, I admire Yan'an, I want to go to Yan'an to find the Communist Party, I think, this is the beginning of a new world for myself.

Some of us in the Long March group also planned to go to Yan'an, but I was unable to make the trip with my mother because I received a telegram from my mother that she was seriously ill and would be returning soon.

In Guangzhou, I visited Shen Xi, who was then in charge of the "Salvation Daily" in Guangzhou, and Shen Xi encouraged me to return to Shanghai to engage in the anti-Japanese salvation movement, saying that there was also a lot of work to be done in Shanghai, and asked me to go to Wang Ying when I returned to Shanghai.

This spring, I returned to Shanghai, and when I got off the ship and saw my friend Jiang Xuejie on the dock, I said in my first sentence, Xuejie, if I had a brother and sister, I would never come back.

After I returned to Shanghai, I declined the re-offer from Shanghai Jianghai Customs and returned to my alma mater, Qixiu Girls' High School, as a second-grade English teacher.

Due to the needs of the struggle on the isolated island, I was arranged by the party organization to jointly preside over the preparatory work for the establishment of the China Professional Women's Club in Shanghai with Wang Ying, Jiang Xuejie and others.

Sister Dong, you know, just last month, our Shanghai China Professional Women's Club was officially established, and the 3rd floor of No. 120 Nanjing Road was also rented by you, we are so grateful to you! ”

"Li Ying, you're welcome, although I have no party or faction, I am an upright Chinese, and it is also appropriate for me to do what I can to resist Japan."

Dong Lanjun was moved by Mao Liying's thoughts and experiences, she felt sincerely admired, her own experience was more bizarre and tortuous, but she never had the spirit of giving up everything for a belief.

"Sister Dong, at the inaugural meeting of the China Professional Women's Club in Shanghai, everyone elected me and Jiang Xuejie and others as the person in charge, and I feel that the burden on my body is heavier."

"Li Ying, you are really amazing, the eldest sister admires you from the bottom of my heart!" Dong Lanjun said with heartfelt appreciation.

"Sister Dong, you can do it with us!" Mao Liying pleaded.

"Hehe, silly girl, am I not following you?" Dong Lanjun smiled.

"I mean, you join our organization." Mao Liying said.

"Your organization?"

Dong Lanjun's eyes lit up, and he looked at Mao Liying fixedly, and his bright eyes slowly dimmed again.

"No, Liying, I'm different from you, I admire you, I can help you, but I can't join your organization, alas, I ......" Donglanjun sighed.

"What's wrong? Big sister, do you have an opinion on our organization? Mao Liying looked at Dong Lanjun and asked.

"Sister Liying, you trust the eldest sister so much, the eldest sister is very moved, but the eldest sister advises you, what you said to the eldest sister today, don't tell the second person in the future, when you are in a panic, you can talk to the eldest sister at any time, I will always keep it secret for you."

Dong Lanjun, a woman who has experienced a lot of ups and downs, once again tactfully reminded Mao Liying, she felt that Mao Liying's courage was commendable, but she didn't seem to have learned to protect herself.

In the place of Shanghai Beach, if you don't pay attention to it, you will step into a trap, but for this hot-blooded young man, what Donglanjun has to do is to persuade her tactfully.

"Li Ying, in fact, Mr. Feng Chen is very righteous and a good person, if you have any difficulties in the future, you just say that it is my sister, even if you ask him for help, he will definitely help you."
