Wang Dingguo was born in 1913. Yingshan people in Sichuan. Mrs Xie Juezai. In 1933, he joined the China * * * Production Party, and in 1934 he joined the Long March with the Red Fourth Front Army. He used to be the Minister of Women's Department of Zhongying Mountain County Committee and the Chairman of the Internal Committee of the County Soviet Government. Participated in the Long March. After that, he joined the marked forward troupe. After 1937, he served as the head of the management section of the eighth route army office in Lanzhou. After 1946, he served as director of Yan 'an Women's Federation and secretary of the Party branch of the Central Legal Committee. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as deputy director of the Supreme People's Court Party Committee Office. He is a member of the Fifth to Seventh Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In September 29, he was named as one of the top 1 figures, and now he is the honorary president of the World Chinese Cultural Institute in Beijing.

Wang Dingguo was sold as a child bride at the age of 15 and joined the Red Fourth Front Army in 1933. In 1935, he was transferred to the new troupe led by the provincial party Committee (later changed to the Cultural and Art Troupe of the General Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army) and went through the snowy mountains and grasslands with the troupe for three times. At the end of 1936, he went west with the Red West Route Army and was captured by Ma Bufang troops in Yongchang, Gansu. In prison, she fought against the enemy and rescued prisoners of war of the Red Army, and successfully covered Zhang Qinqiu, a female general of the Red Army. In the autumn of 1937, he fled from the tiger's mouth and arrived at the Eighth Route Army Office in Lanzhou. In September of the same year, he married Xie Juezai, then the representative of the Eighth Route Army Office in Lanzhou. After liberation, he served as secretary of Xie Juezai. Wang Dingguo, a centenarian, has made a long March in the course of the 8-year revolution. He is optimistic about life, willing to contribute and practicing harmony. Together with Comrade Wu Xiuquan, she traveled all over the Hexi Corridor to help the diaspora of the marked army; Traces all over China; At the age of 94, she went back to the Long March Road to visit her old comrades-in-arms and landlords who were still alive. In the winter of 1913, Wang Dingguo was born in a drafty house in Anhua Township, Yingshan County, Sichuan Province.

in Sichuan in the late 192s, warlords were fighting and people were in dire straits. Wang Ding's country has no fields and no houses. The only shelter is a hut built by borrowing someone else's gable. My sister starved to death, because there was no money to bury her father who died of illness. My three-and-a-half-year-old second brother was sold in exchange for four coffin boards and two cimicifuga peas.

Wang Dingguo had to shoulder the burden of life early. When she was six or seven years old, she went to the noodle restaurant selling Dandan Noodles to earn money. It is said that it is to push the mill, in fact, it is to tie the horizontal stick on the mill to the stomach and push the mill with the whole body, and at the same time, it also prevents drowsiness from falling. Because the mill is usually pushed at night, from dark to the east wall of the moon.

After his father died, 15-year-old Wang Dingguo was sent to a family named Li as his wife. Marrying and having children is the fate track of most girls in the mountains. Wang Dingguo, on the other hand, was lucky enough to meet a number of underground parties such as Yang Keming and Zhang Jingbo. At that time, the underground party in eastern Sichuan came to Yingshan to secretly mobilize the masses and organize peasant associations. Wang Dingguo's two uncles often bring some friends to Wang Dingguo's house for meetings. The humble home became the secret contact point for the activities of the peasant association, but Wang Dingguo and his mother, who were in charge of keeping watch, didn't know their true identities, only knew that they were good people.

among my uncle's friends, "Yang Buke" is the most familiar one in Wang Dingguo. Yang Keming, an underground party member with the cover of selling cloth, told Wang Dingguo a lot of new things outside: children on the other side of the mountain don't need money to go to school, and girls in Chongqing don't pack their feet and so on. These things make Wang Dingguo feel itchy and want to go out and have a look. Encouraged by Yang Keming, Wang Dingguo cut her long hair and let go of her newly wrapped feet, thus Wang Dingguo took the first step of women's liberation. Later, my uncle and friends scraped together more than 4 silver dollars, and finally ended the marriage relationship between Wang Dingguo and the Li family. Wang Dingguo, who was freed, cooperated with farmers' associations to publicize three things: putting feet, cutting hair and equality between men and women, so that women could persuade men not to smoke opium and mobilize women to join farmers' associations. In October 1933, Xu Shiyou led the Hong Jiu Army to liberate Yingshan, and Wang Dingguo joined the Red Army. In the battle of marked army, Yang Keming, who was the director of the political department of the 5th Red Army, died in the battle of Gaotai together with the commander Dong Zhentang and 3 soldiers. Yang and Dong's heads were cut off by the enemy for credit. In 1983, Wang Dingguo, who went to Gaotai Martyrs Cemetery to pay tribute to his mentor and friend, wrote: "The Martyrs Cemetery has a new phenology, and the majestic portrait is seen. Although the general died in the mountains and rivers, he left Dan Xin to shine on future generations. "

In p>1935, the Central Red Army went north to fight against Japan. There was a thin female Red Army in the troupe with the army, who was responsible for clothing, makeup and performing chores. She was Wang Dingguo. Wang Dingguo, who joined the Party long before joining the Red Army and was also the head of the local revolution, was transferred to the troupe to do propaganda work because of his love of singing and dancing at ordinary times. Today, Wang Lao described her propaganda team like this: "The mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and the road is not easy to walk. The troupe goes ahead and becomes a cheerleader. Everyone watches singing and dancing, forgets fatigue and hardship, and walks fast." She still remembers the songs of that year, the songs celebrating the development of the Soviet Union, and the two-reed tune of Peking Opera, which scolded traitors, and so on. "The Jinsha River is jingling, and the ever-victorious Red Army comes to cross the river ..." A song "Victory Song of Crossing the Jinsha River" is also sung with great emotion. She said that dancing was taught in Li Bozhao, such as "Osmanthus fragrans Dance in August". The Long March is extremely hard, and the troupe and propaganda team have taken almost twice as long as others. When the troops March, the troupe must hurry ahead of the team; During the break, the actors have to go back and perform a condolence performance, from the head of the team to the end of the team. Some people say that the Red Army walked 25, Li on a pair of feet in the unparalleled China Long March, so the propagandists may have to walk more.

Many battles of the Red Fourth Front Army were fierce. Wang Lao remembers: "The Baizhangguan battle, when the enemy blocked all the roads and refused to let us go, many people were sacrificed. People from the troupe also took part in the war. We had few guns, and everyone was carrying musical instruments on their backs, with sticks like poles in their hands. It's not fighting empty-handed, but beating with sticks and sticks. Sometimes the enemy is not a regular army, but a local tyrant's team, and they don't have any guns. They listen to the command of the Kuomintang, don't let us pass, stop us, and we will fight them and make a bloody way. "

Now, people all know that the Long March is arduous, and lesbians suffer more than gay men. Wang Lao said, "At that time, we didn't even know how hard it was. No matter how difficult it is, we have to make our way out, no way back. All we want is to open a road for the sole purpose of meeting other troops. There is no difference between men and women. When fighting, it is not that women leave men to fight, but that everyone fights together. " However, she admitted: "It's hard to cross the grass and fight hard. There is no road on the grass, there are many enemies, and there are few of us. We just try our best to fight. If we play well, we will win. If we play badly, we will lose people. However, after winning the battle, the troupe will pay tribute to our soldiers, and we will sing and dance to welcome the returning soldiers, so that they will not want to fight and forget the bitterness of fighting. "

Wang Dingguo came to Zhuokeji with the troupe through Maoergai to prepare for crossing the snow-capped mountains. It was here that Wang Lao and Xie Juezai met by chance and later became lifelong companions. Cangde Mountain is the fourth snow mountain that the Red Army soldiers climbed. Before that, the soldiers had already crossed Jiajin Mountains, Mengbi Mountain and Longban Mountain. The air on the snow-capped mountains is thin and the climate is changeable. When I went up the mountain, it was still sunny. When I climbed halfway up the mountain, it was covered with clouds and fog, and the cold was attacking people. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, the temperature plummeted. I just broke out in a sweat when I climbed up, and then I was blown by the cold wind, and I felt cold in my back. The soldiers' hands were frozen stiff, they could hardly catch the sticks, and their ears seemed to be frozen off. It is in such a harsh environment that Wang Dingguo and his comrades in the troupe still insist on cheering for the comrades. They use their songs and shouts to arouse their fighting spirit.

When crossing the grass, Wang Dingguo weighed only over 5 Jin. Speaking of that experience, Wang Lao said with a smile: "If you are fat, where can you live?" Stepping into the mire will sink. " Yes, when crossing the grass, how many comrades got stuck in the swamp and couldn't climb out again. When crossing the grass, the most terrible thing is hunger. During the 25,-mile long March, the Red Army soldiers did not have sufficient rations, and only wild vegetables and grass roots were able to eat. However, even wild vegetables and grass roots can't support so many teams to collect again and again, not to mention that some "wild vegetables" and "grass roots" are poisonous. On the way to the Long March, many soldiers stayed in the grass forever because they ate the poisonous "wild vegetables" by mistake.

On the Long March, Wang Dingguo has been very lucky. She survived hunger, dodged enemy bullets, and walked across the grass that could devour people's lives at any time. But in 1936, she left a permanent wound. At that time, the snow-capped mountains they were going to climb were all over 4 meters above sea level, with thin air and snow all year round. On the top of the snowy mountain, one of her toes remained there forever. In recent years, someone interviewed Wang Lao and asked her that she had "lost" a toe during the Long March. She said this in an understatement: "I fell asleep on the snowy mountain at night. There are too many people and too few quilts to cover, and my feet are frozen. When you touch it, it breaks and freezes! " As a young female soldier of the Red Army, she didn't shed a tear for this toe. Asked if she was sad, she replied, "Nothing sad. You can't say for sure whether you live or die. Sad? I'm not alone, so many people, what are you sad about? We are wearing single clothes and chewing peppers in our mouths while walking over the snow-capped mountains. " We always talk about the feelings of revolutionaries. Is the past mentioned by Wang Lao in a very ordinary tone the most touching feeling?

Although the road of the Long March is extremely arduous and tortuous, Wang Lao remembers more happiness in hardship. In a relaxed tone, she talked about the past crossing the grassland with President Mao Zedong: At that time, Chairman Mao marched with the soldiers, without riding horses, and walked on foot, and encouraged everyone with a strong Xiangtan accent. The chairman loves smoking, and there were no tobacco leaves on the way to the Long March. The little soldiers took the initiative to help Chairman Mao: "We are on the same road. He wants to smoke all the way, so he can't smoke! We will find leaves that are not poisonous, pick them down, dry them on our backs, and then give them to Chairman Mao, who will smoke them when he gets them. " Chairman Mao smoked leaves cigarettes rolled for him by the soldiers all the way, talking and laughing with the soldiers. Chairman Mao's optimism also infected Wang Dingguo, making her more determined to overcome this dangerous journey. Lanzhou reunited with Xie Juezai as a partner; Organize Xie Lao's legacy of 5 million words. When he married Xie Lao, Wang Dingguo was still illiterate; After decades of hard self-study, I finally became a late bloomer. Wang Dingguo, who was rescued, found a safe shelter in the office of the Eighth Route Army in Lanzhou, and met his lifelong companion-Xie Juezai. Actually, it's not the first time they've met. Wang Dingguo, whose real name was Wang Yixiang, was born in a tenant family in Yingshan County, Sichuan Province on February 4, 19l3, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. The hard life forced her to shoulder the heavy burden early. At the age of six or seven, she was going to the noodle restaurant selling Dandan Noodles to earn money. At that time, warlords scuffled and people were in dire straits. The Wangs can't escape bad luck. Because there was no food, her sister starved to death alive, and her father died of excessive pressure. The helpless mother sold her three-and-a-half-year-old second brother and buried her father. In order to survive, she had to give Yi Xiang to the Li family in the neighboring village as a child bride. Yang Keming, a member of the county committee of the East Sichuan Underground Party Center, came to work in the mountainous area as a cloth guest. Yi Xiang's humble home became the secret contact point of the activities of the peasant association. She broke off her marriage, cut her long hair and liberated her little feet, and started the journey of turning over and seeking liberation. In 1933, he joined the China * * * Production Party to welcome the Xu Shiyou Department of the Red Fourth Army to Yingshan, and successively served as the chairman of the internal committee of the county Soviet regime and the battalion commander of the women's independent camp of the Red Fourth Army. In 1935, he participated in the 25,-mile Long March.

in June, 1935, the Red First and Fourth Armies joined forces in Maogong. Wang Dingguo's Fourth Army and the Central Organ Column live together in Zhuokeji, a Tibetan stockade under the snow-capped mountain. Both armies are preparing for crossing the snow-capped mountain. One day, Wang Dingguo and several comrades in the drama club were resting on the hillside, and an old comrade with a beard came to Wang Dingguo with a pack of clothes. "Beard" smiled and said to Wang Dingguo, "Little comrade, please help me to cross the snowy mountain. Please help me put together two singlets, put on wool and sew them into a sweater." She didn't know at that time that this man was Comrade Xie Juezai, who was later praised by Chairman Mao and the CPC Central Committee as one of the "Five Old Men in Yan 'an". Xie Juezai is ten years older than Mao Zedong, and once worked as a teacher with Mao Zedong in Changsha No.1 Normal School. Xie Lao's ancient prose has a good foundation and won the admiration of Mao Zedong. He was regarded as a teacher and joined the China * * * Production Party in 1925. The next day, when Tianwang Dingguo sent her to sew clothes, the old comrade Beard greeted her from a distance and specially told her to prepare more peppers to keep out the cold when crossing the snow-capped mountains.

on December 5, 1936, the drama club was ordered to express condolences to the Hong Jiu army that broke through the Gulang, only to encounter the Ma Bufang army. The enemy thought they had found the headquarters of Hong Jiu Army, and planes and artillery were used. In the bitter battle, the drama club ran out of ammunition and suffered heavy casualties. The enemy came, and Wang Dingguo, who was thin, rushed at the enemy with a bayonet ... Because he was outnumbered, the remaining 3 people in the drama club were caught by the enemy. "During the day, I can't see the sun; At night, there is no moon. The house is gloomy and lonely, and only the jackal puts the cell. " Many years later, recalling the situation of being captured, Wang Dingguo wrote this poem. Fortunately, Ma Bufang, who has always massacred and buried Red Army prisoners alive, thinks that "drama clubs are useful, so keep them.". Forced the Red Army soldiers to sing and dance for them, and proposed to expand the drama club.

Taking advantage of the expansion of the drama club, Wang Dingguo and his comrades-in-arms sheltered some undisclosed Red Army female cadres into the drama club, and Zhang Qinqiu was one of them. In the Western Expedition, Zhang Qinqiu served as the organization minister of the General Political Department of the marked army, and was the general of the Red Army who was arrested by the enemy with a reward of 1, yuan. After being captured, she assumed the pseudonym of Gou Xiuying and pretended to be a cook who cooked by fire. Knowing this important situation, Wang Dingguo discussed with his comrades-in-arms. In the name that all drama clubs are children who can't cook, he proposed that Gou Xiuying should come to the drama club as a cook. The enemy didn't find a flaw, and Zhang Qinqiu successfully came to the drama club to cover his identity and dodged a bullet. Zhang Qinqiu later became the female deputy minister of New China, and Wang Laozun regarded her as a "female general without rank".

According to Wang Lao's recollection, except for a martyr of the Party Wen Xiu, all the members of the drama club were later rescued organizationally. Party Wen Xiu sacrificed very unjustly. One night, Bai Chongxi came to Qinghai to inspect, and the Kuomintang organized a welcome party, asking the troupe to perform a program. When Dang Wen Xiu was dancing, he accidentally threw his shoes on the table and knocked out the teacup. The enemy thought it was a Grenade, and Bai Chongxi ran away. The enemy shot Party Wen Xiu.

Later, a man named Zhang Wenbin was sent to contact the rescue team, and an Eighth Route Army office was set up in Lanzhou, which was affectionately called "Eight Offices". Thousands of people were sent back to the Eighth Route Army. After being rescued, Wang Dingguo took an active part in the work of the Eighth Office, rescued many comrades through her hands, and met Xie Juezai in the Eighth Office. Xie Juezai, as the representative of Lanzhou Eighth Office, learned about the situation of the captured people through the people who came to pick up the relationship. There is such a record in his diary: "Zhang Ye has an underground party, and there is a female member named Wang Dingguo in the branch." When they met, Xie Juezai recognized that this Wang Dingguo was the girl who sewed a sweater for herself during the Long March. And Wang Dingguo felt that the oldest person in the Long March was not only a respected superior leader, but also a rescuer who rescued himself from the enemy's clutches, and a relative who could trust each other for life and death and surpass his brother. The cotton thread that sewed the "wool sweater" became the red thread of the knot. Recall and
