China's history is the history of chaos, and life is also to survive in chaos and system, even if it is more distinct in the movement, this is also the struggle between ** and anti-**, and no one can escape from the sharp and complex class struggle.

The crescent moon in the night sky seems to show a smiling face, the breeze blows the leaves softly, the pedestrians on the road have long since disappeared, the surrounding family area has no lights, and the people who have worked hard all day have already fallen asleep. In this world, there is silence, only Dapeng and Yaqin are infatuated with inseparable love and affection.

Dapeng put down the violin, thoughtfully took out the lighter from the pocket of his military coat, in order to light the cigarette in his mouth, "Bang!" The firelight seemed to make Yaqin withdraw his cheeks carelessly, although there was only a moment of light, the two still looked at each other in unison. Dapeng inadvertently straightened the myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose, took a deep puff of cigarette, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I lit a cigarette without your consent." ”

"It's okay, you smoke, don't mind, you are an educated youth who came to the agency convoy because you made a mistake, right?"

"Educated youth? I should indeed be an educated youth, and I also came to the 39th Division Production and Construction Corps with the educated youth in 68 years, and among the more than 4,000 educated youths here are from major cities in the motherland, many of them are from Qiqihar, and there are also my classmates, even your direct company also has so many intellectual youths. Most people think that I am an educated youth in the countryside, but it is a pity that I am a "second labor reform", or a "true or false educated youth", and people regard my background as a mystery. ”

"What is a life experience?"

"Just now you asked me if I was an educated youth? That is a question of identity, and if you want to know the inside story, it is a matter of history and family, especially since my ancestors were from the Kuomintang, and this is also the source of my becoming a "true and false educated youth."

"I've told you everything about my family and the past, can you tell me everything about the past?"

Yaqin's sincerity** Dapeng can't shirk it, for her emotions, she can only tell her the historical encounters of her ancestors, the evolution of her family and her own past that she has never mentioned, like dissecting sparrows, which can be regarded as "infatuation" for Yaqin, including her love. After the narration of those 10 nights, the narrative of history is frankly opened.

Dapeng first introduced the story of Jiang Wubiao's troubles in Mudanjiang to Yaqin, and although Director Hou was shot to eliminate harm for the people, he formed a generational family feud and did not mention it for the time being. It is said that he ordered Jiang Ping, Li Gan and his eldest brother to deal with the business, and returned to Harbin with Battalion Commander Zhao Tianxi and his mother first, and after settling down the family, he and Battalion Commander Zhao led the troops back to Fengtian to supervise the military mansion to resume their lives.

It is said that on this day, an old man came to see Zhang Dashuai after several twists and turns.

The marshal asked: "Just now, when the soldiers were in court, they said, your surname is Li, how can you say that you are my fellow sect?" The old man smiled mysteriously and said, "There is a reason for this." I have a family tree handed down from my ancestors, as proof of this. Saying that, the old man took out a yellowed family tree from his arms and talked about the ancestors of the Zhang family: "Our ancestor is surnamed Li, and he has lived in the Daimyo's Mansion in Hejian for generations. In the last years of Jiaqing, the girl of the Li family married a family surnamed Zhang in the same county, and because she had no queen, she passed her nephew, that is, our ancestors, to the Zhang family as the heir, and since then our family has changed our surname to Zhang. These genealogies are detailed and are available for the Overseers to see. Although Zhang Zuolin has only been in private school for half a year, he has been rough in the ups and downs of the officialdom for many years, and he carefully looked at the family tree, and saw that the things of his ancestors were recorded in an orderly manner, and he didn't feel that he nodded frequently. Because of the generation of people and his father, Zhang Zuolin praised: "The younger generation is rude." Then he ordered his soldiers to invite the old man to live in the mansion, and did not mention the hospitality.

"Yaqin, in fact, I am not surnamed Zhang but surnamed Rui, according to research, the surname Rui comes from the historical Zhou Dynasty, and is also a descendant of the Ji family, the ancestors in a city in Shanxi Province, because the city was renamed Ruicheng to establish the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and changed Ji to the surname Rui. So my name should be Rui Dapeng, my grandfather Rui Youban was a Kuomintang official, who studied in Japan in 1921 and then transferred to the Soviet Union, and returned to China in 1925 to take pictures in Harbin. Due to historical reasons, my grandfather's surname was Jiang at that time, and he originally went to Mudanjiang to visit relatives, but he thought that there would be a murder case. Now even if there is a prejudice in the Shuai Mansion, although Zhang Zuolin supported Sun Yat-sen's revolution, but he became the head of the Northern Expedition to rule for a while, but after all, it was the source of the first to kill Li Dazhao, which is contrary to the Kuomintang leader Sun Yat-sen's alliance with Russia to implement clan rights, civil rights, and people's livelihood.

In 1931, when Japan invaded Northeast China, he retreated to Ruicheng and Linfen in Shanxi Province, and married eight wives successively, and I had eight grandmothers. After the Japanese occupation of Northeast China until the July 7 Incident, my grandfather went to Tokyo to negotiate on behalf of the Kuomintang Central Committee in the 40s, but unfortunately he was shot down by an antiaircraft plane in Japanese airspace under the pretext of sneaking across the border, and my grandfather and his four grandmothers were all killed. This was a bloody political incident, one was the rampant aggression of Japanese militarism, and the other was the political conspiracy of the Kuomintang to exclude dissidents, which will remain a mystery to this day and even in the future? Just before my grandfather and grandmother were killed, an unexpected marriage turmoil occurred in the family.

One day in the summer of 1937, in Hong'an City under the rule of Japanese militarism, the hazy sky was full of dark clouds, and suddenly there was a "click" of thunder and an instant downpour. A college student ran helplessly into a grocery store on the side of the road. He lowered his head and shook the rain from his clothes with both hands, turned around and looked out the door from time to time .......

"Wipe your hands with a towel!" said the shopkeeper kindly, standing at the counter. The college student turned around and looked at him in response, he seemed familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen it, he took the handkerchief and said "Thank you!" casually wiped, watched, and thought, and blurted out: "By the way, I remembered, you are the movie star Zhou Xuan." ”

"No, I'm not. The shopkeeper replied.

"No, you're Zhou Xuan, you look good, act well, sing better, please come out and let me take a look?"

In order to confirm herself, the female shopkeeper walked out of the counter shyly, took the handkerchief handed by the college student and said, "I'm not the movie star Zhou Xuan, I just opened a small shop here, my name is Sun Wenxiu, I understand." ”

The college student looked at the female shopkeeper in front of him suspiciously, she looked like Zhou Xuan, her short dark hair was decorated with hairpins, she was wearing a light blue cheongsam, and she was wearing black high heels on her feet.

"You said that you are not Zhou Xuan but Sun Wenxiu, I don't believe it, can you tell me about your family and the past?"

"No, I don't know you, I don't know what you're doing. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I should tell you, my name is Rui Tianxi, I am a graduate of a medical university, I am now an intern at the Red Bank Hospital, my father was an instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, and now he is employed in Shanxi, and a few days ago I wrote to me that I am going to study in the Soviet Union. ......。 I'm done with the introduction, should I tell you about you?"

"No, my family is miserable, my past is sad and painful, I really can't say. ”

"I've told you everything, if you don't say it, I'll think about it, because I think you're Zhou Xuan, I'll come back when I leave, and I can't even go to study in the Soviet Union, please believe that I'm not a bad person. ”

The college student was a little stumped when she said this, she lowered her head and turned around and walked into the counter hesitantly, hung up the hand towel, turned around and sat down, she had to let the college student in front of her sit on the bench outside the cabinet, and helplessly talked about her family and her miserable past.

"My hometown lives in Mukden, in 1931 9.18 incident our family fled to the Red Bank, which Cheng Xiang just settled down and there was a river bridge battle, a few days later there was a Red Bank battle, no way we fled to the yurt 300 miles away. In addition to my parents, I also have three younger brothers and three younger sisters, how did my family of nine survive in those days of refugee? In Taipingtun, a large landowner surnamed Li of the Han nationality took us in, and his family not only had a lot of land, cattle and sheep, but also a large family business.

The only eldest son came home from school during the Spring Festival holiday, he proposed marriage to me many times, he was 19 years old with me, because marriage would affect his studies and was rejected by me, and we finally got married under the persuasion of both parents. A month later, not only did he go to school in Zhagaite Banner again, but when I heard that the war had subsided, my parents went to school for my younger brother, and the whole family went back to Red Bank to do business, and threw me into the yurt to live.

Two months later, the sad news befell me, my husband suddenly vomited blood at Qili School, and after examination, tuberculosis was diagnosed, and the treatment was ineffective, and he died. After my husband was buried, I had to stay at my in-law's house because I was pregnant. I gave birth to a little boy and raised it until I was 3 years old, and my in-laws were afraid that it would delay my life, so they forced me to leave the child and go back to my parents' home. No, I had to help my parents run it when I returned to Hong'an, but I met you today, this is my past, please believe that my name is Sun Wenxiu, not Zhou Xuan.... ”

The sincere narration prompted the college student to listen and look in a daze, because he believed that all this was true, and his excited heart turned to sympathy. In the end, he looked out the door with regret and disappointment, the rain had stopped, stood up and said to Sun Wenxiu: "Thank you! Thank you for being honest with me." And nodded politely, turned around and walked out the door, and in an instant the person disappeared without a trace. Sun Wenxiu lay on the counter and cried loudly.

Three days later, one afternoon, the college student came to the grocery store again, but it was not raining outside. He was dressed in a brand-new student uniform, wearing a pair of black and shiny leather shoes on his feet, especially the student hat on his head, which looked even more handsome. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to say:

"Wenxiu, let's get married!"

"No, it can't be!" Sun Wenxiu blurted out without any mental preparation.

"Why?"

"I'm already married, I have children, and you ....... ”

"No, it's not your fault what happened to life. After all these days of torture, I can't live without your ....... ”

"You can't be emotional, your home is noble, our family is poor, and the door is not the right ....... ”

"There is no distinction between high and low, family has nothing to do with our emotional marriage, you don't have any worries. ”

"I have no culture, and you are a college student and you have to study in the Soviet Union, you can't drag down your studies because of me. ”

"In the past, it was my family and everything God gave me, and I want to build a family and start a business with you independently. I can teach you without culture, not only Chinese characters, but also five Chinese languages to teach you foreign languages. Are you in your twenties?"

"Twenty-four of the horses. ”

"I am a serpent a year older than you. Please believe me, don't look at my family and culture, but I am very introverted and conceited, and I have refused to accept many high-ranking ladies and classmates who have shown favor to me. My feelings have always been closed, but since I met you, I have been completely overwhelmed by you. I'm not a swinger, please believe it, swear to God.... ”

"No, you don't have to swear, I believe you. Sun Wenxiu was moved and walked out of the counter.

"No, I still have to swear that your parents and relatives are my relatives. I promise that I will never be like my father's wife, and remember my promise that I will never marry again in my life except you, until I ...... death. ”

Sun Wenxiu couldn't control himself anymore, so he ran over and covered the college student's mouth with his hand, just saying, "Don't say it." ”

They finally hugged each other, in that war-torn era, breaking the gap between family and life experience, how precious it is to have sincere feelings from the heart, and they are full of happiness. ......。

Yaqin, this is what my parents are talking about, but at that time, my grandfather wrote a letter resolutely opposing the marriage, and ordered my father to immediately go home to study abroad and go to the Soviet Union when he saw the letter, and if he did not listen, he would sever the father-son relationship and never enter the house.

My grandfather sent an adjutant to Hong'an (Fularji) and saw that my parents were married, so the adjutant had no choice but to return to Shanxi to resume his life.

My father fulfilled his promise, faithful to the relationship and did not remarry, not only taught my mother culture and foreign languages, but also took my grandfather and mother to live in Xiaobailou together, he first worked in the hospital, and later served as the director of the Qiqihar Affiliated Hospital, and arranged my second uncle in the pharmacy. My parents were married for only eight years, and my mother had four children. When my eldest brother was born in 1938, it was my grandfather who wrote to us to name the four of us: Dayuan, Huiying, Daya, and Dapeng, emphasizing that my father was not allowed to participate in politics and military circles.

After my grandfather was killed, nine days before the liberation of August 15, 1945, on August 6, the United States dropped a "little boy" atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, killing more than 200,000 people.

Japanese planes bombed indiscriminately in the air, and my father fled to Baichengzi with my family and people. Japanese militarism used chemical weapons again, and put the rats that replaced bacteria in the rice warehouse, and God continued to rain in that half a month, not only natural disasters but also **. My elder sister Hui Ying and my second brother Daya contracted the plague and cholera, and although they were quarantined in the hospital, they all died in just 10 days.

After the Soviet Red Army entered Baichengzi, his father served as a translator for the seven Chinese languages of the Red Cross, and in order to relieve the injuries caused by chemical weapons, he had to immediately fly to the Soviet Union to transport medicine. On the way to the airport, he still wanted to go home to visit us, but he never thought that this would be our last goodbye. When he rushed to the airport again by car, he was about to board the plane when the plane suddenly exploded, killing all the people present. When my mother heard the news, she threw herself on my father's body like crazy.

Although his father was covered with injuries, his eyes were intently looking ahead, and he missed his mother and relatives without turning his eyes away, and he died at the age of 34. But my mother lost three relatives in just 20 days, how can she live in the future! I really want to die with my father, and I think of my eight-year-old brother and me, who was born less than a month ago, and she cried hoarsely... Make move. ”

Dapeng twitched, choked, couldn't say any more, and tears couldn't help but welling up. Yaqin also cried, their moods, feelings, and even the blood around them seemed to merge. Yaqin listened to the cry that suddenly fell into Dapeng's arms, and the two people who were connected by the same fate hugged the first night of their first love, and it was difficult to separate for a long time.

The crescent moon had already disappeared into the clouds, and it was pitch black everywhere, and the deep midnight reminded them that they had work to do tomorrow, and they had to give up the memories of the past for the time being.

When parting, Yaqin prayed repeatedly: "Come back tomorrow night!"
