1947, Zhou Chunfu, a big family in Huangdiantun Village, died.
1947, Zhou Chunfu, the head of the Lao Zhou family in Huangdiantun Village, Wafangdian, Liaodong Peninsula, passed away. Zhou Chunfu's death has a strong color of the times. In May of the same year of his death, Huangdiantun village was liberated by the army of the * * * production party, which was followed by the surging land reform movement.
The Lao Zhou family is said to be a member of the tide of going east. From the inside of the pass to the outside of the pass, it has been rooted in the northeast for many years, but it is obviously not brilliant-1947 The Lao Zhou family headed by Zhou Chunfu, a family of about 20 people, owns about 200 acres of land, and has four relatively simple rural workshops-oil mill, mill, dyeing mill, powder mill and a grocery store. In the vast and sparsely populated northeast, the families with per capita 10 mu of cultivated land are really not very prominent. If it weren't for these pavements, Zhou Chunfu, the parents of Lao Zhou's family, really wouldn't be a prominent figure in Huangdiantun Village.
Yan, a farmer in Huangdiantun, who is over 80 years old, said that Zhou Chunfu's generation was not rich. Zhou Chunfu "inherited some land, but not much". Like most small farmers in that era, in Zhou Chunfu's eyes, both Yang Guang and legal tender are more secure than real land. Therefore, yeoman Zhou Chunfu has been happy to buy land for many years. In order to buy land, Zhou Chunfu's diligence even reached a harsh level. In the impression of the older generation who had contact with Huang Diantun and Zhou Chunfu, Zhou Chunfu lived a poor life like a bumpkin all the year round-trousers were not willing to buy, but were wiped with rags. Even the leftover vermicelli of the Zhou family should be fished out with chopsticks and dried before eating.
In 2006, Wang Yizhen, who had worked in Zhou Jia for many years, recalled in an interview with Zhou Chunfu's great-grandson Meng Lingqian that the five sons of the Lao Zhou family in Huangdian Tunli were the most enviable. "There are many people in the family. The eldest son does farm work, the second son is a housekeeper, the third son drives, and the sons divide their work. They are all very diligent. The brain is also smart and can make money. " Zhou Chunfu's hobby of buying land left a deep impression on Wang Yizhen: "The old man is willing to buy land when he leaves home. Talk to people from other places, and finally ask, do you sell it? "
The 200 mu of land and several workshops of Lao Zhou's family were slowly accumulated under this background. It is not surprising that this kind of "primitive capital accumulation" can be seen everywhere in the vast land of China at that time. If there were no natural and man-made disasters, time would flow smoothly in the quiet Huangdiantun village as always. Perhaps Zhou Chunfu will continue his decades-long "great cause of buying land", but even if he fully trusts Zhou Chunfu's ability, it seems that it is difficult for him to let the land ownership break through the administrative division restrictions of Huangdiantun Village.
The arrival of 1947 made all Zhou Chunfu's hopes and prospects meaningless. At the end of this year, the land reform team entered the village with the arduous task of "completely solving the problem of land distribution". Zhou Chunfu, a prominent figure in the village, became a "landlord".
Many years later, a child who spared pigs in Zhou's house recalled his criticism of Zhou Chunfu: "This landlord is so hateful! The four daughters-in-law of the Zhou family were forced to work by him! A month before 10, the first daughter-in-law cooked, the second daughter-in-law cooked, and the third daughter-in-law was the' logistics minister', pushing and grinding everything. During this 10 day, Fourth Daughter-in-law can' rest' and mend the children. In the next ten days, we will "rotate jobs" in order ... He is so difficult for his family, think about how hard our long-term work is! "
This criticism may not be completely fabricated. In an interview in 2009, Zhou Chunfu's great-grandson Meng Lingqian talked about his great-grandfather: "When I was a child, I heard my family's memories of him. He is a very thrifty and stingy person, but he is a good worker and hardworking crops. His only shortcoming is arrogance. This is a rural dialect, which means stingy. This is the evaluation of his family. When I grew up, I learned something about the long-term workers who worked with him at that time. They spoke highly of him, because the old man is very kind to long-term workers, and the only thing is that he is too stingy and too stingy to his family. " At that time, Wang Yiqi, the old long-term worker of the Zhou family, also said: "It is said that the elderly are cruel, cruel to their children, and not bad to their buddies. Never mentioned me. I am thin, but I can do it. The old man said that he would hoe the ground and carry grain. "
Being stingy with family members and asking them to be thrifty and thrifty may be magnified into Zhou Chunfu's cruel exploitation of four daughters-in-law at the critical meeting of 1947, which is not difficult to understand.
1947, Huangdiantun village was liberated, and land reform was raging in the northeast. Zhou Chunfu, the "old landlord", passed away quietly this year-no local tabloid reported it, and even the way he died is now at a loss. 1947 His death was lost in the noise of the northeast.
An "old landlord" whose family only owns 10 mu of land, and an "old landlord" whose whole family has to work in the fields from morning till night, quietly died in the noise of 1947. If there is no accident, his death should be completely annihilated by the grand background of the big comeback, just like the silent metabolism of nature.
But the accident still happened. In the same year that Zhou Chunfu, the "old landlord" of Huangdiantun Village in Wafangdian, died, a child named Gao Yubao from Sunjiatun Village in Wafangdian joined the army. Children joining the army didn't attract anyone's attention. It is absolutely impossible for the descendants of the Lao Zhou family to think that this child named Gao Yubao embarked on the road of joining the army, which not only quickly changed his personal fate, but also completely changed the fate track of the Lao Zhou family in the next few decades.
An article entitled "Tell You a Real Gao Yubao" in Wen Yuan Party History, No.2005 19 introduces Gao Yubao's legendary life in this way: "From 19438+095 1, the illiterate soldier Gao Yubao drew a book while fighting, inadvertently creating a precedent in the history of China literature. Gao Yubao, a long autobiographical novel written by him according to his own personal experience, has seven versions in minority languages in China and nearly 20 versions abroad. The Chinese version alone has a cumulative print run of over 4.5 million copies. In the publishing history of our country, few novels have such a high print run except Selected Works and Dictionary. Gao Yubao's manuscript was later collected by the China People's Liberation Army Military Museum. "
Gao Yubao, an illiterate person, created the legendary record of "best seller" in that era, second only to the Collected Works of Leaders and the Dictionary of Leaders. Therefore, Gao Yubao himself became a legend. Another article entitled "The Story of Gao Yubao Creating Gao Yubao" in the third issue of Wen Yuan Party History in 2007 describes the writing process of the best-selling autobiographical novel Gao Yubao, which is very legendary to read:
"When Gao Yubao was a child, because his family was poor, he only went to school for a month. 1947 After enlisting, he was basically an illiterate soldier. When the army went south, he began to write a long autobiographical novel Gao Yubao. In his creation, the biggest difficulty he encountered was illiteracy. He wants to write many stories, but he can write few words. Every sentence he writes, nine of the words 10 can't write. But the difficulty is not difficult for this strong soldier. He thought of a stupid way to change the words he couldn't write into pictures or symbols.
One night, when the soldiers who held military positions in the regiment returned to their posts, they lit a small oil lamp and wrote down the story of peeling the chicken nest in the middle of the night when Zhou was a child carrying work for the landlord. But Gao Yubao can't write the word "cock crows in the middle of the night". I can't write the word "half". Instead, he drew half a steamed bun, which was clear at a glance; "Night" calligraphy and painting has a star, which is the night of love at first sight; The traditional Chinese character "chicken" is the most difficult to write. He drew a chicken instead. The word "jiao" was seen in the textbook of primary school reading pictures, but I couldn't remember it, so I drew a big mouth and shouted with my mouth open. After the creation entered the artistic conception, it was midnight before you knew it, but Gao Yubao was wide awake, and didn't rest until he finished painting the chapter "Midnight Cockcrow".
In the manuscript of his novel Gao Yubao, many pictures and symbols were drawn. For example, the word "ghost" in the chapter "The Japanese devils are coming" can't be written, but a face is drawn; I couldn't write the word "kill", so I drew a little man with a knife around his neck; I can't write the word "cry". He drew a face and some dots under his eyes. It can be said that the manuscript of the novel "Gao Yubao" currently displayed in the Beijing Military Daily was not written by Gao Yubao, but was "painted" by him. At that time, he had to go to war with the troops frequently and do heavy military mail work. The difficulty of creation is self-evident. "
In his heroic sketch "Half a Bun, A Star, A Chicken, A Big Mouth", Gao Yubao left the real name of the villain "Zhou Pipi" Zhou Chunfu, which is as absurd as the underground party code.
Many years later, when Gao Yubao was interviewed by Meng Lingqian, the great-grandson of Zhou Chunfu, he was asked:
"1the villains in Gao Yubao published in the 1950s are all real names. Zhou's real name is Zhou Chunfu, and his real name is, all written in the book. Since it is a novel, have their real names been written into the book, and have the influence on their families and children's descendants been considered? "
According to Meng Lingqian's description, Gao Yubao replied: "I didn't think about it. I didn't know what a novel was at that time. After five or six articles such as "I want to read" and "Cockcrow in the Middle of the Night" were published, I realized that the novel could not describe its real name. "
