"Fu Yi—on an auspicious day, the heavens and the earth will open; a good fate is destined, like a phoenix like a phoenix; a phoenix and a phoenix are like a phoenix, and the earth will last forever. The bride and groom, bow to the heaven and the earth—" "Once again to the ancestors!—" "The husband and wife worship!—— " Of course parents have to look for it, whether they can find it or not is another matter. In any case, when the National People's Congress grows up, they must get married and have children, so let's live according to the laws of nature!Time flies, and the child who is in misery grows up in the blink of an eye in the midst of misery.

At the age of 16, Qiu Lan exposed her daughter's back, and the shock of the family and villagers soon calmed down. It's nothing, if you are a man, you should be your son, if you are a woman, you should be your daughter-in-law.After she changed her name from Qiu Lan to Qiu Decheng, her adoptive parents changed her name to Qiu Laifeng. At the age of 19, Qiu Laifeng married Lai Wenlian, the eldest of the family, who was 11 years older than herself, among the adoptive parents Zhang Luozhong. At the age of 20, she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, but did not bring it up.A few years later, she gave birth to 3 boys and 3 girls one after another, and became the mother of a large group of children.

All things change with time, only thoughts are preserved forever. When evacuating, Qiu Lan brought two suitcases of clothes. The wearable clothes were worn out, and the unwearable ones were sold. The last two suitcases were also sold without leaving any traces. Before liberation, her husband worked outside for a long time: digging sand in the mountains, burning kilns, picking salt... After liberation, the Tieshanlong Tungsten Mine was converted into a state-owned mine, and he became an underground worker of the mine. Qiu Laifeng was busy inside and out, walking around the pot, becoming a typical housewife.Sometimes, when she was so busy that she was dizzy, when she heard the child calling for her mother, she would suddenly be taken aback: Mom, yes, where is my own mother?

She was working, and she stopped for a while while she was doing it. These children call me mother, who am I to call mother?Sweet potatoes, green vegetables, and radishes support people. Lai Puen and Ye Ping have grown into big trees like the few small trees in front of the house.The second brother is no longer a bare-backed boy with a snotty nose, but a young man with a broad shoulders and a round waist.Ye Ping has grown into a lush and pretty girl. Finally, the Lai Wansen couple felt that they should consummate the house. Life is towards the future.Like other children in the impoverished village, this Wild Ping, whose background is unknown, grew up slowly in poverty, followed the village, and bravely shouldered the burden of life early on.

Ye Ping became a capable peasant woman.On this land, she works at sunrise and rests at sunset, and works hard to cultivate and harvest. Like every ordinary peasant woman, she gives birth to children and gives birth to new hopes... After liberation, many old Red Army soldiers wrote to local governments in southern Jiangxi, asking for help in finding their lost children.The stories of the search are spread one after another in the land of southern Jiangxi. In 1964, Qiu Lan asked someone to write a letter to the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, asking for help in finding her parents.The Central Office wrote back, asking her to provide clues about her life experience.

The past, like smoke and fog, gathers and disperses.The past and dreams are entangled, just like the past. Regarding her own background, Qiu Lan only knew that her adoptive mother, Chen Liugu, was a member of the Red Army laundry team, and her adoptive father was a Red Army soldier.Since she was a child, the parents of the Red Army handed Qiu Lan over to her adoptive mother, Chen Liugu, to raise her.She has no impression of her adoptive father, let alone who her biological parents are. Once, when the Red Army laundry team was washing clothes in the river, a bomb from a White Army plane landed in the river, and Chen Liugu and others were killed on the spot.Since then, all the blood relationship between her and this world has been cut off.

Xiao Qiulan, who was more than 5 years old, was sent to the Blue Shirt Troupe, and sometimes performed one or two programs... With such clues, how can I find my parents? Such clues are tantamount to no clues!So, Qiu Lan understood: the best way, the only reliable way, is to let her parents find her.But how can she let her parents look for her? ! "The local government also sent people to look for Yeping nearby." Qiu Lan told the author, "Someone went to Bai'e Township to look for Yeping. We didn't know that each township hung up a net to look for it. How could it be so far away? I know, it’s a village away!” The information was so blocked, and in their long-awaited search, an extremely precious opportunity slid past the village like the wind.
