"The 40,000,000 compatriots of the country, since 1840, the Japanese army has deceived China, the ambition of the wolf son is obvious, the heart of the country and the extinction of the species can be seen, but the national strength is weak, I and other Chinese have suppressed for a long time, rose up to resist, and there were two generals in Beiping who died in battle, inspiring the countrymen! The model of the Anti-Japanese War, the majesty of heaven and earth, the city of Jiujiang is in danger today, there are many dead in the war, there are no two out of ten, you can be proud of martyrdom from self-loyalty, and shame to betray the country! Today, I write a letter to my compatriots to strengthen my morale, and the dignity of my Chinese must not be lost to my generation! If Jiujiang City is broken, we will all be martyred! I hope that the people of the country will save me China! The unique pen of 50,000 soldiers is in Jiujiang City! If you are alive, you will repay the motherland with meritorious deeds, and if you die, you will use this place as your grave! ……”

This letter to the compatriots told by Zizhong himself appeared in all the anti-Japanese newspapers and periodicals the next day, and the spirit of seeing death as if it were home made everyone feel heartache and regret, and some hot-blooded young people stood on the street and screamed, roaring that God is not long-sighted!

At this time, Zhang Zizhong's hometown in Shandong saw a woman plowing the ground, the sweat on her forehead could be seen very transparent under the sun, and she looked at the child playing at the door with a gratified face. There was a slight satisfaction in his eyes, but there was also some worry, "Zizhong, are you okay?" ”

This person is Zhang Zizhong's wife Li Minhui, in history, after Zhang Zizhong was martyred, she was grief-stricken, went on a hunger strike for seven days, and followed the general.

More than 70 years have passed, and it may be difficult for us living in peacetime to understand the martyrdom of the general's wife. But people today should remember that on this land under our feet, there have been the most cruel and heroic wars, the bloody massacres of the invaders, the earth-shattering feats of the martyrs in the bloody War of Resistance, the tragic history of "every inch of rivers and mountains, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops", and countless weak women like General Zhang's wife who expressed their deep love for the motherland and heroes with a weak firmness, which should not be forgotten no matter how time passes.

We can't simply use the traditional concept of martyrdom to understand the martyrdom of the general's wife, the martyrdom of the general, the martyrdom of the martyr, the martyrdom of the martyrs, although it has been in ancient times, but Ms. Li Minhui said clearly: "Zhang Zizhong died for the country, I am not sad." Even though I am a woman, I deserve a part. It can be seen that the weight of the word "country" in her mind, when her husband galloped across the field, she took care of the family in the midst of displacement, and failed to see her husband for four years, hiding her thoughts and worries in her heart, silently supporting her husband who killed enemies for the country; When her husband was martyred, she calmly arranged the affairs of the family, and then followed her husband's loyal soul.

Li Minhui, although she is an uneducated old woman, she deeply understands the weight of the word family and country, although "her body is not as good as a man's son, but her heart is stronger than that of a man", she used her death to express her love for the country and her husband, and to inspire the anti-Japanese soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

I'd rather be a ghost than a traitor!

Such a woman deserves everyone's respect.

At this time, a person ran over in a panic, waving a newspaper in his hand, and when he saw Li Minhui, he was panting and shouted, "Sister-in-law!" This anxious shout made Li Minhui also can't help but raise her head, wipe the sweat that slipped to the corners of her eyes, and shouted when she saw the person coming, "Ziming, what's so panicked?" ”

This is Zhang Zizhong's younger brother Zhang Ziming, he really admires his sister-in-law, pointing to the newspaper and saying timidly, "My brother said in the newspaper that he would die for the country and swear to live and die with Jiujiang!" ”

Li Minhui's body trembled suddenly, she is too familiar with her husband, since marrying her at the age of 17, she has seen from this man that he is resolute and decisive! Or even unlimited loyalty to the state.

Once, when Zhang Zizhong was mistaken for a traitor by others, he didn't say a word, but just said lightly, "Actions are louder than mouths!" ”

Zhang Ziming was obviously a little flustered, and he couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, tell my brother to come back, don't go to war anymore"

"Bastard!"

I heard an angry shout, and I saw an old woman on crutches coming out of the room. This is Zhang Zizhong's mother, Feng, when she heard her son's words, she was angry and pointed at Zhang Ziming with a cane: "Do you want our old Zhang family to lose all their face?" How can you tell your dad that you're letting me die? Are my Zhang family all afraid of death? Bastard talk! ”

Li Minhui was afraid that the old lady's body would be angry, so she hurriedly dropped the hoe and stepped forward to support her, and said vigorously, "Mother, be careful of your body"

That Zhang Ziming saw his old lady and shrunk his neck in fright, and he didn't dare to say a word of. Seeing the old lady is more afraid than seeing the tiger.

"But my brother can't die in vain like this" I don't know what's going on today, Zhang Ziming actually had the courage to speak, the old lady was half angry with this son, and she saw her eyes kicked, "Shut up!" ”

This old lady has a big temper today, and Zhang Lianyun next to her is going up, "Grandma, don't be angry, it's not good for your health"

The old man gasped, "Your brother is a soldier, how can he say retreat?" How many of our compatriots have been killed by the little devils, although your wife has no culture and has not read, but I also know that if you are afraid of death, I am afraid of death, then who will go to war in this country? Can you still stand here? The taste of a slave in the dead country is not pleasant! If there were no thousands of soldiers to die in front, why would they all be dead! This person must have a conscience and responsibility! “

The old lady taught her son a very good lesson, Li Minhui learned a lot from this old man, he just said softly, "Mother, isn't this worrying about his eldest brother?" You just dissipate your anger, don't say more, Lian Yun, help your grandma in and rest"

Zhang Lianyun, who was 17 years old next to him, nodded and helped the old man in.

Seeing that his mother was gone, Zhang Ziming said, "Sister-in-law, look at your mother"

"You don't have to say a few words" Li Minhui just patted her brother-in-law on the shoulder, "My mother is also old, there are some things, you don't want her to be angry"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Minhui just shook her head, "Your brother is fighting devils on the front line, we have to make the house even better, don't let him worry" paused, and then said, "If you really join the ......" Here she gave the answer in her heart, "Then I will go with him!" ”

Zhang Ziming looked at his sister-in-law, as if he understood a little bit in his heart, and was speechless and silent.

Sometimes, war hurts not one person, but a family!

"A good soldier has been lost here, and his loved ones have lost the whole world!" (To be continued.) )
