Specific story

Bing Xin’s mother, Yang Fuci, was born in 1871. When she was 19 years old, on January 3, 1890, she married Xie Baozhang, a patriotic naval officer in Fujian. Ten years later, on October 5, the eldest daughter Bing Xin came to the world. Subsequently, Bing Xin's three younger brothers came one after another, forming a warm and harmonious small family. In Bing Xin's eyes, her mother Yang Fuci is a very strong and resolute woman. My mother has been sick and weak since she was a child, while my father is a naval officer who often goes to sea for expeditions and rarely comes home once every few months. On the one hand, the mother has to endure the pain of separation from her husband, and on the other hand, she has to use her frail body to support the family. What Bing Xin remembers most clearly is a story told by her grandfather. At that time, Bing Xin was not yet born, and the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Naval War broke out, which shocked China and foreign countries. His father, Xie Baozhang, served as the second gunnery mate on the Weiyuan ship. During the bloody battle with the Japanese invaders, the Weiyuan ship served as the second gunnery mate. During the bloody battle with the Japanese invaders, the Weiyuan ship was unfortunately sunk. His father After swimming to the shore, I walked barefoot to Liugong Island, and then rushed back to my hometown in Fuzhou. At this time, the mother who stayed at home was worried day and night, "Because there are many people from Fuzhou in the navy, and many people died in battle, so on the street where we live, this house has a white paper door couplet on it today, and that house will have a white door couplet tomorrow. My mother felt that this white paper door couplet would be plastered on our door one day! She secretly bought a box of opium paste and hid it on her body, preparing to use it if she got the news that her father had been killed in battle. She committed suicide by taking poison." This incident had a huge impact on Bing Xin's young mind, and she was deeply moved by her mother's undying love for her father. It was only later that she suddenly realized why she had always worn men's clothing, often in navy uniforms, during her childhood. Because the mother places her love for her husband on her children, she hopes that Bing Xin will have a strong will like a soldier like her father.

In Bing Xin’s eyes, her mother is an extremely gentle and quiet woman. She never beats or scolds her children, but always persuades them with gentle words and tells stories to inspire them. Bing Xin is the only daughter in this family, and her mother regards her as the apple of her eye. Mother and daughter often cuddle up together and whisper intimate words. Xiao Bingxin likes to hear her mother talk about her family background the most. Her mother said: "Son, you are much more blessed than me. I lost my mother when I was 14 years old. Your grandmother contracted tuberculosis. She was bedridden from September 9 that year and never got up. He died on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month... From then on, I was a motherless child." Xiao Bingxin always sheds tears for her mother's tragic life experience, and feels lucky to have such a kind mother. Mother is always deep in thought. Look out the window intently. Seeing her mother's demeanor, Xiao Bingxin always hugged her mother, shook her body, and shouted anxiously: "Mom! Mom!" Then her mother smiled after she recovered. Sometimes mothers want to be close to their daughters, so they deliberately stay still. The little Bingxin who was playing nearby would always fly into her mother's arms like a bird. Bing Xin will never forget this loving scene between mother and daughter. Until she reached adulthood, Bing Xin still praised her in poetic language: "Mother, you are the sea, and I am just a splashing wave in an instant. Although I temporarily create all kinds of flashes in the lowest space, in the shortest time, Then she flew into her mother's arms."

Yes, this is how little Bing Xin has been bathing in the gentle and deep ocean of mother's love.

Her mother's loving care was like a drop of spring rain that nourished Bing Xin's heart during her childhood, accumulating into endless emotions. In the future, whenever she started writing, these emotions would flow like a gurgling clear spring, forming each chapter and one poem. A hymn of maternal love!

In Bing Xin’s eyes, her mother was a woman who loved reading and had progressive ideas. Daozi often exclaims: "When it comes to the books my mother reads, she really reads more than anyone else in our family!" The characteristic of my mother's reading is that it is broad and broad. She likes to read novels, essays, magazines, newspapers, new and old, creative and translated. After finishing her work, she always reads a book, and often doesn't go to bed until 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening. The next day, when the whole family was sleeping peacefully, she got up, finished her housework, and picked up books again. There were always books in her sewing basket.

My mother’s favorite thing to read was the Tongmenghui publication “Tian Tao”, which contained many fierce anti-Qing remarks. At that time, reading such books and periodicals would risk losing one’s head. Since several of Bing Xin's uncles were members of the Tongmenghui, they often secretly brought some of these books and periodicals to her mother to read. After her mother read them, she would mail these books to other Tongmenghui members in disguise. As a result, my mother became the voluntary liaison officer of the Alliance to deliver news and send and receive letters. Bing Xin remembers that on a snowy night when she was 8 years old, she helped her mother pack dozens of copies of "Tian Tao" into meat floss tubes, sealed the tube mouth with red paper, and mailed it out. Soon after, she received it Letters from various places said: "I received the meat floss. It is home-made and delicious!" Bing Xin asked innocently: "Aren't those books?" "The mother pinched her gently, leaned into her ear and said, "Don't tell anyone. Bing Xin nodded sensibly, and secretly read these books. Although she could not understand them all, a vague revolutionary consciousness unknowingly penetrated into her little heart. Later, the Revolution of 1911 broke out, and Bing Xin was only 11 years old at that time. . Her mother read the "Declaration" eagerly and excitedly told Bing Xin and her family the news of the revolution. Her mother also exchanged some of her jewelry for foreign money and donated it to the rebellious army. Under her mother's influence, Bing Xin saved up over the years. The 10 yuan of New Year's money she received was also donated to the uprising army. In this way, her mother influenced Bing Xin with her words and deeds, making her gradually grow into a progressive young man.

Looking back on these past events, Bing Xin sincerely praised her mother. : “She is a typical good wife and mother, the protector of her husband and children. She added: "I agree with all the slogans of the women's movement. Only when I see or hear the slogan 'Down with good wives and good mothers', I always feel a bit irritating... What I hope they will overthrow is Some weakly dependent mollusk, not a woman like my mother.
