During the "Cultural Revolution", on the one hand, she was a Red Army mountain singer, received by Mao Zedong and other national leaders, and on the other hand, she was the wife of a capitalist roader and a traitor, so she inevitably suffered various shocks.

She lives with her grandson and takes care of herself.Every day, I walk in the vegetable market by the Lianjiang River, bargain with second-hand dealers, buy vegetables, cook, take care of children, and take walks.It's okay, and I often get together with the sad sweet potato woman and the widowed and lonely martyrs, thinking about the dead with snot and tears; I also often see the Red Army soldiers who sang folk songs and became popular now. General, return home majestically... Folk songs are the flame in her life, and also make her shine like a candle.Recalling that fiery era, it seems like a lifetime away, and I have infinite sighs about life.
