Chapter 418 Surprising Discovery 4
After searching and searching, Feng Qingxue finally found a history of modern figures.
When she was looking up information about the 1960s, she didn't pay attention to which revolutionaries there were in modern times or what their fates were.
To her, those ancestors were all legendary figures and she had no chance to meet them.
She first looked at the table of contents of the book. Since it was a brief history of people, the table of contents was listed according to people's names. She didn't dare to glance over it hastily, but read it carefully one name at a time. Finally, she saw the name Wang Xinsheng in the first half. The three words "Wang Xinsheng" were clearly printed in black letters on a white background!
Restraining the surging emotions in her heart, Feng Qingxue let out a breath and slowly turned to the page introducing Wang Xinsheng.
Wang Xinsheng (1905-2000), formerly known as Wang Baogui, changed his name to Wang Xinsheng when he joined the army, and his courtesy name was Qiming. He was a great Marxist, proletarian revolutionary, military strategist, politician, founder and leader of the Party, the army, and the country...
Next, it is about his background, marriage and family, and most importantly, his life experiences and all the major events he participated in.
In the introduction of his background, Feng Qingxue saw that it clearly stated that he, Lu Zhiyuan and Cheng Baoguo went their separate ways after they swore brotherhood in Peach Garden. It was said to be from Wang Xinsheng's oral narration, that he was from a poor family when he was young, and was originally a cowherd in the landlord Lu's family. He often lay outside the private school to eavesdrop and learn, and was discovered by Lu Zhiyuan who was also studying in the private school.
Not only did Lu Zhiyuan not report him to the teacher, but he also allowed him to enroll in the school as his companion. Wang Xinsheng thus accumulated a wealth of knowledge, and thanks to Lu Zhiyuan's financial support, he was able to have enough food and clothing.
The Peach Garden Oath was proposed by Cheng Baoguo.
Cheng Baoguo was also Lu Zhiyuan's study partner. His original name was Cheng Tiedan, but he was a distant relative of Lu Zhiyuan's maternal grandfather's family. He was sent to foster care in his hometown by his parents who participated in the revolution. As a result, the family was unable to raise him, and he ate too much, so he was brought to the Lu family.
Lu Zhiyuan is the eldest son of the Lu family. He is extremely intelligent, gentle and elegant, and lives a life surrounded by stars.
Lu Zhiyuan originally had only two study companions, one was Wang Zhengguo and the other was Chen Xingguo. Both were children of Lu family's tenant farmers. Because they were smart, honest and kind, and were of similar age to Lu Zhiyuan, they were chosen as study companions. After development, the number of study companions became four, and the extra two were Cheng Tiedan and Wang Baogui at that time.
That year when peach blossoms bloomed, the thirteen-year-old Cheng Baoguo proposed the Peach Garden Five Oaths.
Yes, it started with the Five Heroes of Peach Garden.
Wang Zhengguo is an honest and decent man. He thinks that he is the son of a tenant farmer and is not qualified to be on par with Lu Zhiyuan. Chen Xingguo has the same idea as him. Neither of them has the courage of Cheng Tiedan and Wang Baogui, who are fearless. So in the end, they become the Three Heroes of Peach Garden, and the witnesses are Wang Zhengguo and Chen Xingguo.
Wang Baogui joined the army at the age of eighteen. When he left, he took with him a large bag of gold lent to him by Lu's father, totaling one hundred taels.
"Although my second brother never gave up writing and joined the army, he always cared about the motherland. When I joined the army, he lent me 100 taels of gold for travel expenses and development funds. He said "loan", but in fact he gave it to me to protect my self-esteem. When my third brother joined the army, he also got 100 taels of gold from him. When he was short of funds and asked for help, he got another 300 taels. After that, the supplies to help the soldiers in the war of resistance were countless. So I dare to say with confidence that my second brother contributed to the establishment of the country!"
Wang Xinsheng’s words are recorded in this introduction.
