Preface
Four years have passed, and Lin Ying has gradually walked out of the grief of her husband Peng Xuefeng's sacrifice.
How fortunate she was, fate allowed her to meet the second man who loved her deeply, Marxist-Leninist.
In 1948, with the approval of the organization, they were rightfully together.
But judging from the situation at that time, Marxist-Leninist and Lin Ying did not meet the conditions for marriage.
Because according to the organization's regulations on gay men getting married, Marxism-Leninism does not meet the one.
For this reason, everyone is curious, how did the two of them get approved by the organization?
In the face of everyone's doubts, Marxist-Leninist wittily said: "To be precise, I married her."
Why did Marx-Leninism say this, and what is the love story between the two?
Unforgettable old love
In 1946, in the face of Marxist-Leninist's warm confession, Lin Ying was very flustered.
For Lin Ying, the grief of her husband Peng Xuefeng's death has not yet dissipated, every time in the dead of night, the tears of longing always wet the pillow, how can she accept the love of another man now?
Her love with Peng Xuefeng grew up in the flames of war.
In 1939, Lin Ying, who was already a member of the Communist Party, was sent to Zhugou Town, Queshan, Henan Province, to study in the provincial party training class here.
In August of the same year, she engaged in women-related work in Xihua County, and then served as a member of the organization committee of the fourth district committee in Henan-Anhui Subian District.
On the day he took office, Peng Xuefeng was in charge of entertaining.
At that time, Peng Xuefeng was already the commander of the guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army, and relatively speaking, his position was much higher than Lin Ying.
So when Lin Ying saw Peng Xuefeng for the first time, she was deeply attracted by his sassy and heroic posture and the demeanor of a general, and soberly reminded herself that the gap between the two was too big.
What Lin Ying didn't know was that when they met, Peng Xuefeng also deeply remembered this woman who spoke extraordinarily and was talented.
After the banquet was over, the two of them went their separate ways.
Until 1941, Lin Ying, who served as the women's minister of Huaibao County, was assigned to be responsible for receiving the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army.
The Fourth Division's mission in Huaibao County was to come here to recuperate.
This is the second time the two have met, and because they have met, there is no strangeness, and they soon chatted.
During the period when Peng Xuefeng led the team to recuperate in Huaibao County, all the problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation were handed over to Lin Ying, and they came and went, and they became more familiar with each other.
Seeing that the two cooperated so closely, Liu Zijiu, secretary of the Huaibei District Party Committee, and Liu Ruilong, director of the bureau, saw the clues.
Liu Ruilong
The two hit it off and decided to do something that was adult-friendly.
They found Peng Xuefeng and mentioned that they wanted to tell him about matchmaking, originally they wanted to tell him about matchmaking, but Peng Xuefeng repeatedly shirked it, but when he said that the other party was Lin Ying, Peng Xuefeng's words turned 180 degrees: "Then arrange to meet"
Peng Xuefeng
Unexpectedly, when Liu Ruilong and Liu Zijiu told Lin Ying about the matchmaking, they were rejected.
Recognized by Peng Xuefeng, Lin Ying was of course happy in her heart, after all, she was the person she had always admired.
I thought of my unfinished revolutionary ideals, and if it involved the love of my children, I would be distracted, and I was worried that I would not be able to continue the revolutionary cause after marriage, so I replied to the two introducers with "Let's get in touch and see again".
With such a reply, I thought that Peng Xuefeng would give up, but unexpectedly, it made him like Lin Ying a little more.
In his opinion, Lin Ying has this firm revolutionary ideal, and for the sake of the revolution, she can give up her life's events, which is very commendable for a female comrade.
Peng Xuefeng likes Lin Ying more, and there is another reason, because she did not immediately agree because of her identity as a commander, this kind of independent and assertive woman makes Peng Xuefeng not love.
At that time, it was so precious that people who shared the same firm revolutionary ideals as themselves were still women, and that they could gallop together with them on the road of revolution in the future.
Such Lin Ying made Peng Xuefeng pick up a pen and write a love letter for the first time in her life.
In the letter, Peng Xuefeng once again expressed his affirmation of Lin Ying's revolutionary spirit, recognition of revolutionary willpower, and the desire to work together for the revolution.
After reading Peng Xuefeng's letter, Lin Ying's doubts were also dispelled, and she affirmed her revolutionary spirit and revolutionary ideals, which would inevitably support her determination to adhere to the revolution, so she replied to Peng Xuefeng's letter.
Since then, the two have exchanged letters and complained to each other, and gradually, it seems that a tacit understanding has been reached, and the meeting scheduled for September 23 did not refuse, but met calmly like old friends.
Peng Xuefeng's handwriting to Deng Yingchao
Two people who fell in love, and soon held a wedding.
In the life after marriage, there is always less gathering and more separation, but their love can cross thousands of mountains and rivers, and one letter after another drowns the distance of thousands of miles.
It's just that her husband is on the battlefield, even if she knows that he is a brave and good warrior, but in Lin Ying's heart, every time she goes on a battle, her heart has never been calm.
Peng Xuefeng and his wife
Lin Ying's uneasiness really happened in the end.
In 1944, Peng Xuefeng received the order to march to Henan, so he immediately reorganized his team and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, he said goodbye to Lin Ying, who was pregnant: "I'm leaving, don't be overly sentimental, the revolution will always face parting, even sacrifice, you have to accept it to be stronger" This farewell made Lin Ying seem to have a premonition of something.
In September, a fierce battle broke out in Balizhuang, Xiayi, Henan, and Peng Xuefeng died.
Everyone hid it from Lin Ying, and it wasn't until four months later, when the child was born, that they told her.
Lin Ying knelt in front of the grave, crying hoarse voice was speechless, crying faint, was carried back, woke up regardless of dissuasion, came to the grave again, still couldn't stop crying, but there were no tears, then she knew that the tears would dry up.
For two days and one night, Lin Ying knelt in front of the grave in a daze, recalling bits and pieces, and everyone saw that persuasion was useless, so they brought their infant son and put it beside her.
Hearing her son's cry, Lin Ying seemed to have returned from another world
picked up the child, slowly stood up, staggered, and returned home with the support of everyone.
In the days to come, in addition to the children, what supports Lin Ying is her husband's last words, yes, she has to accept it and be strong.
Such an unforgettable love, how can Lin Ying forget?
有幸再遇真爱
When she met Marxism-Leninism, Lin Ying was not unmoved, but she thought that if she was really with Marxism-Leninism, once she thought of her husband Peng Xuesong, she felt ashamed, not to mention that she was three years older than Marxism-Leninism.
Marxist-Leninist is not a man who twists and turns, let alone a person who is afraid of being pointed at by others.
He liked Lin Ying, so he was desperate, enthusiastic pursuit, moved by details, Lin Ying was moved by him after all.
Two years after Ma Lianbai, in 1948, the two decided to enter the palace of marriage.
Marty
At that time, it was necessary to apply to the higher authorities for marriage, and if it was stipulated by the organization, gay men needed to have at least five years of party experience, and the position should also be at or above the regimental level, but Marxism-Leninism did not meet the requirements.
But when the organization still approved it, and everyone was puzzled, Ma Len smiled and said that he was married to Lin Ying.
It turned out that Marxism-Leninism did not conform to it, but Lin Ying did it, saying that she was married to Lin Ying, which was also in the past.
But this is just a joke by Marxism-Leninism, in fact, the organization took into account that Lin Ying is the widow of a martyr, and she has to work with her children, which is really difficult, and Marxism-Leninism has also made outstanding contributions to the country's diplomatic work, so it specially approved it for them.
Lin Ying and her son Peng Xiaofeng
After the simple wedding, the two also began a dull married life, and thus began to accompany each other for a lifetime.
Happy old age with Marxism-Leninism
In their later years, Lin Ying and Marxist-Leninist were still fighting and dedicating themselves to the country in their respective posts.
But no matter how busy I am at work, I always eat and chat with the children in the evening.
Marxist-Leninist never cared about Lin Ying and Peng Xuefeng's children calling him "Uncle Marxist-Leninist", and he also cultivated and educated the same as his son.
In their home, Peng Xuefeng's name has never been shy about it, because Marxist-Leninist always wants the children to know that this is the name of a hero.
Lin Ying and her son Peng Xiaofeng
During the 15 years he served as the foreign affairs secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, Marxist-Leninist often had to travel with the premier to countries around the world.
When he comes back, he will always prepare a table of food to catch him.
And no matter which country Marxist-Leninist went to, he always did not forget to bring back a small object for his wife.
Once both of them have time, they will travel together to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
For the son of Lin Ying and Peng Xuefeng, Marxist-Leninist is proud.
He was successfully admitted to the Kazakh military industry, joined the party, and was admitted to the graduate and master's degrees, and was awarded the rank of general at the award ceremony in 2006.
Peng Xiaofeng
Every year, he will take his wife and children to Peng Xuefeng's tomb to pay respects, and he is a hero in their hearts and a hero of the people.
