Chapter 19 6. Photos and letters were placed in front of Lu Dingyi, but he missed

Another round of searching started—after Ye Ping became sensible, she began to search non-stop, and the whole family was searching for her. In the 1950s, the meandering mountains in southern Jiangxi became the world's tungsten capital.A new tungsten city, Tieshanlong Tungsten Mine, has emerged in Yudu Mountain.Guo Ruoshan, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Mine, found that there were irregularities in the resume of Lai Puen, a cadre of the Mine Organization Department, when sorting out the files of the cadres.At that time, the political review was very strict, and he was sensitive: there might be a problem, so he immediately went to Lai Puen and asked, "Little Lai, why didn't you fill in the parent-in-law column on the form?" Asked.After rambling on for a long time, I finally finished explaining the reason, but did not explain the situation clearly.He had no choice but to add: "My father Lai Wansen has passed away, otherwise, he could have explained the matter more clearly." Guo Ruoshan is a big man from Northeast China who went south. He spent half his life in the military camp and has an instinctive sensitivity to things.He knew that the local area was the old Soviet area. On the eve of the Long March of the Red Army, many respected leaders left their children hastily in southern Jiangxi. After liberation, they searched for them through organizations.He asked: "After so many years of liberation, have you found any clues?" Lai Puen thought for a while: "There is a little clue. We are in the same village. There is a Red Army cadre Lai Youjiang who stayed behind to fight guerrillas. In the year of liberation, he lived in Yudu County. The government assists the People's Liberation Army in its work. He once said that Comrade Lu Dingyi wrote a letter to Yudu, asking the local government to help him find a child. He also personally sent people to the southern Jiangxi area to look for his daughter, saying that he had a daughter. It is possible that she was fostered in Yudu, and judging from the time of birth and other circumstances, she looks very similar to my wife..." Guo Ruoshan was serious and responsible in everything, and immediately sent someone to find Lai Youjiang for investigation, and also sent someone to find out about Ye Ping's situation, and believed that the situation was true.Then, in the name of the mining party committee, he compiled a document and sent it to Lu Dingyi, head of the Central Propaganda Department.

At the same time, Lai Puen also attached a letter to Lu Dingyi. Shortly thereafter, the Propaganda Department of the Gannan District Party Committee was instructed by the Central Propaganda Department to send a cadre to Tieshanlong Tungsten Mine, and Tieshanlong Tungsten Mine sent a secretary named Li to cooperate with the investigation to verify the matter.The two came to Shangkulai's house in Hefeng Township to inquire about the situation, and a photographer went there together. It's like joy falling from the sky.Decades of searching for relatives finally came to an end. Ye Ping was ecstatic, and brought out the best local fruits to entertain the guests. Lei Cha, sweet potato chips, taro balls, hot slices, etc.

The family rejoiced as if they were celebrating the New Year, and they kept talking about it, putting on the clothes they were only willing to wear during the New Year.Under the command of the photographer, Ye Ping, Lai Puen and their one-year-old son Lai Zhangsheng jointly took a family portrait.Then, according to the investigator's request, Ye Ping took another full-body photo alone. In the photo, Ye Ping is full of smiles, and her tightly pursed lips cannot conceal the joy in her heart.Broad bean flower white cardigan with a large face is put on a strong body, the faint cloud eyebrows gradually entering the temples, a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes, and a youthful smile, it seems that the shadows of the past have been swept away...

In this investigation, the original physical evidence is the most important.There were no photos of Ye Ping when he was a child, and the investigators followed the instructions of the organization to collect some old things that Ye Ping brought with him when he was a child.Among them, a pair of ivory chopsticks and a medical knife have disappeared.The clothes I wore when I was a child have long since worn out, and there is only one half of a small glove left, knitted with wool, with one section blue and the other red. This year coincided with 1956, and Mr. Lu received a letter from Lai Puen from the Tieshanlong Tungsten Mine in southern Jiangxi.The letter stated that his wife was a child left before the Long March of the Red Army. She was 3 years old when she came here, and her name was Yipin... Yipin-Yeping!Homophony of Chinese characters?Still... the investigation materials and photos were sent.The investigation did not yield substantive evidence.Lu Dingyi and Tang Yizhen's relatives looked at Yipin's photos, but they couldn't tell that Yipin was Ye Ping.In this way, after more than forty years of searching, it was put on hold without finding anything.

After searching comes waiting, what an anxious waiting!One year, two years, three years... The mud cow has entered the sea, but there is no news. Still looking after waiting.Three years later, the National Mining Advanced Workers Conference of the Ministry of Metallurgy was held in Jinzhou.Ma Zhenshan, deputy mine manager of Tieshanlong Tungsten Mine, and Lai Puen attended the meeting and passed through Beijing. Ma Zhenshan said that he has many old leaders in Beijing, so he might as well take this opportunity to ask someone to find Lu Dingyi and talk face-to-face .Lai Puen, who is honest and trustworthy, is afraid of troublesome others and thinks it is inappropriate.Ma Zhenshan still called the Central Propaganda Department, but the people in the office said that the minister was not at home, so they put the phone down. (Decades later, Mr. Lu told his son-in-law that the office sent the phone records to him. He wanted to call but couldn’t find the address of the sender. He said, why didn’t you leave an address? Idiot, I don’t want to recognize my father-in-law Is it? Lai Puen listened and only smiled wryly.)

Searching, waiting, disappointment - waiting full of passion, all thoughts of looking for relatives disappeared in the waiting without any news.One disappointment after another destroyed Ye Pingyi's hopes one after another.There is nothing to complain about, only God.Ye Ping often cried sadly to the sky: "I am so miserable, I was born without parents, no..."
