The Long March is an unusual course and an unprecedented history. With such a grand narrative, the books that can be seen in the market are also vigorous. However, the book "They-the Long March of Thirty-two Women" in front of the reporter has a unique angle and a simple and fashionable design, which is very surprising. How does red history relate to fashion? How did the Long March Revolution connect with 32 women? With questions, the reporter interviewed Liu Lili, the author of this book.

13 years ago, Liu Lili and Dong Cun jointly created Zhongnanhai, which was awarded by the Eight Commanders. She also wrote stories about photographers Shijun Shu and Li Hua shooting Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, such as filming a movie on a special train, The Leader and God and entering a farmhouse in Xu Shui. It can be said that she has a deep origin with the red theme. But she said, "These are old calendars. Although I had such a good environment and conditions before, I failed to make good use of it. "

Liu Lili told reporters that after graduating from college, she joined the army. She once worked as an editor in the Editorial Committee of Zhongnanhai Album and Xiyuan Publishing House, working in the seaside in the red wall. During this period, due to the need of work, she often came into contact with some people who had worked beside the leaders, and collected some documentary works, some of which were included in Zhongnanhai Chronicle.

Maybe he was born in a military family, plus he was from a military background. Liu Lili was born to revere some revolutionary heroes. Therefore, when others tell children some fairy tales at home and abroad as parenting classics, she makes up some heroic stories she knows and tells them vividly to her inexperienced daughter. Later, Mao Zedong's niece, Kong Dongmei, came to her and said that she wanted to write a book about the Long March of the Red Army. She readily agreed and quickly put herself into writing.

The Long March of Thirty-two Women was created in this way. Of course, this book is not a children's short story book, but a real Long March book.

As a great victory transfer of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants at the critical moment of life and death, the Long March had to get rid of the enemy's encirclement and interception, cross the difficulties and obstacles of nature, and overcome the contradictions and disputes within the Red Army. Most people will think that these are all men's things. Why did they choose these 32 women to describe them?

Liu Lili's explanation is somewhat exciting: in June 1934, the Red Army and porters from different places in the Soviet area claimed that there were 100,000 troops, but only 33 women were allowed to leave with the large troops. Among them, He Yi was left by her husband Mao Zetan shortly before departure, and Peng Ru suddenly wavered after crossing the Duyu River and was sent back to the Soviet area. In addition, Zeng Yu himself silently followed the troops on the road. 32 is an insignificant number for100000 people, but it is these insignificant 32 people of different sexes who have not only experienced thrilling battles like men, but also experienced the test of hunger and thirst, the separation of heart and intestines, and treacherous betrayal in the long March for more than a year. The difference is that they also experienced the crying of newborns in the barren hills, and the sparks of love burned again and again.

In an instant, 70 years have passed. Counting the 32 women who followed the Long March of the Red Army, there are not many women left in this world.

Only Zhong and He are still alive among 32 people, but they are all 90-year-old people. In the process of writing, she visited the 94-year-old Zhong Laoren vividly. She said that Zhong Lao has a good memory. In the face of some photos, she can accurately tell the time and place of shooting, and the characters are unforgettable.

"What the old man tells the most is the nostalgia for his comrades-in-arms. He specifically mentioned that He Zizhen took care of her during the Long March, led the red line for her in Wayaobao, and even He Zizhen was with her when she was pregnant and gave birth." ... all make the old man grateful. "Zhong Lao also stressed that China * * * is the most grateful person in her life. It was the party that saved her, a peasant girl who had never been to the county seat at that time, and approved her to participate in the Long March with the big army and live a happy old age. "

70 years is just a drop in the ocean for the whole human history, but it is a life process for a woman's life. Liu Lili told reporters that she hoped this book could restore the 32 female Red Army women who followed the Red Army on their journey, record their true stereoscopic images on the way and before and after the Long March, and discuss and share with you the influence and shock of the will and spirit of these 32 female Red Army women on contemporary people.
