In September 1941, Song Qiyun, the father of the little carrot head Song Zhenzhong, accompanied General Yang Hucheng He went to fight on the anti-Japanese front line and placed his family in a place called Puyang Village on the outskirts of Xi'an.

On this day, Xu Linxia, ??the mother of Song Zhenzhong, the little carrot head, was shucking corn at the house of a fellow villager across the street, while the little carrot head's brother and sister were playing a hide-and-seek game. suddenly. The second sister Song Zhensu ran over in a panic, shouting: "Mom! Mom! Some people want to take dad away!" Mom picked up the little carrot head and ran home. I saw a carriage parked in front of the house. My mother was about to open her mouth to say something, but was stopped by my father's eyes. At this time, my father was pushed into the carriage. The second sister Zhensu wanted to run over to prevent her father from being taken away, but her mother held her back hard. Dad was taken away, and several children surrounded their mother and cried loudly. They rushed towards the carriage, but were stopped by two plainclothes agents who prevented them from getting close to the carriage.

Dad Song Qiyun was taken away and there was no news for two months.

On a rainy day, my mother walked out of the house, and the smoke obscured her sight. The scenery in the distance was blurry, and there seemed to be a figure walking towards her in the blur. This man was short and thin, wearing work clothes, but also a tacky overcoat, and a peaked cap on his head, looking very sneaky. This man walked up to my mother and asked her respectfully: "Are you President Song's wife Xu Linxia?" My mother did not answer directly, but asked: "Sir, you are..." "I am a worker under President Song." The man said hesitantly. He smiled naturally, showed two big gold teeth, took something out of his pocket, and continued: "This is an autographed letter from President Song." Mom was a little suspicious of this person, but when she saw Dad's letter, she Overjoyed. It's been more than two months and I haven't heard from my father. My mother quickly opened it and took a look, and was disappointed again. There was only one sentence in the letter: "Send a change of clothes as soon as possible." These words were indeed my father's handwriting, but why only these words? Mom asked: "Where is Song Qiyun now?" "He is at the newspaper office." "Why doesn't he come back in person?" "He is too busy with work and can't get away." "How can I give him things?" "President Song has asked you to Deliver it in person." "Where should the things be delivered?" "I will show you the way. I will wait for you at the door of the newspaper office at 12 noon tomorrow!"

Song Qiyun, the father of little carrot head Song Zhenzhong, is a poor man. Farmer's son. He was born in 1904 in Pi County, Jiangsu Province, now called Pizhou City. Song Qiyun's family is very poor, but Song Zhenzhong's grandfather and grandmother still hope that there will be a scholar in the family so that they can be less bullied. So, she worked hard and tried every means to save some money so that Song Qiyun could go to school. Song Qiyun knew that it was not easy for her to go to school, so she traveled more than 10 miles every day to go to Tushan Primary School. His family was poor and had no decent clothes. His clothes were in rags and he always ate sweet potatoes at noon to satisfy his hunger. Children from rich families often laugh at him, but he studies hard and ranks first in the class every semester. After the victory of the Soviet October Revolution in 1917, Song Qiyun went to Wuhan Central Military and Political School (the first phase of Huangpu Military Academy) to study and joined the Communist Party of China. In 1928, Song Qiyun returned to Pi County under the party's instructions and served as the first county party secretary of Pi County. In 1930, the party sent him to the army of patriotic general Yang Hucheng. He first served as the editor-in-chief of Nanyang's "Wannan Daily", and later went to Xi'an as the president and editor-in-chief of "Northwest Culture Daily", helping Yang Hucheng do a lot of work.

Mom is going to find dad. In the evening, my mother found Wang Qiansheng (Song Qiyun's bodyguard) and his wife and told them something. Wang Qiansheng and his wife firmly disagreed with her mother's departure, believing that it would be a disaster. However, if mom wants to try to save dad, how can she not go? After seeing Wang Qiansheng and his wife off, her mother called her children to her side and said, "I'm going to find my father. I'll be back in three days at most. Don't run around!" Her mother turned to her second sister Zhensu and said, "You Biggest brother, take good care of your younger brother, sister!" Zhensu nodded with tears in his eyes. However, she was only eight years old at the time! Zhensu suddenly asked his mother: "Can dad come back?" "Dad will come back!" Mom glanced at Zhensu and said to everyone: "Dad is here to fight the Japanese devils, save China, and let the people live a good life. , Only the reactionaries hate him and arrest him. Dad is not guilty!”

My mother didn’t sleep much that night. She took out the unwashed quilts and winter cotton clothes and worked on them stitch by stitch until midnight. At dawn, my mother set out.

Uncle Wang hugged his little brother Song Zhenzhong and accompanied his mother to the city.

One day has passed, and two days have passed. My mother said she would be back in three days at most, but it has been four days and there is still no sign of her. Several children go to the village entrance every day to wait. After breakfast on the fifth day, Uncle Wang came back alone. He brought back bad news that his mother and little brother were also arrested by the enemy. This is really a bolt from the blue, Xiao Zhenzhong is only 1 year old!
