There is a photo... among the relics of the sacrificed pilot, Zhu Jinxiang | War | Relics
Comrade Mingkun, New Year's Day is approaching
51 years are about to pass
How was the battle going?
Deeply suspenseful... "
This is written by Zhu Jinxiang to Lu Mingkun
The last letter
But it has never been sent out
More than seventy years have passed
Zhu Jinxiang travels to various places
But she stayed by her side with this letter
They met and fell in love in Shanghai
To bravely rush to the front line for the protection of our country and family
1951
18-year-old Zhu Jinxiang and 22-year-old Lu Mingkun
Meeting in Shanghai
Two young hearts quickly get closer and closer
They started to know and fall in love
At that time, the military had strict discipline
The most intimate gesture between the two
It's just a handshake
Even sitting on the park bench
There should also be a distance between one person in the middle
here
The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has already begun
In his letter to Lu Mingkun, Zhu Jinxiang wrote
The Anti US Aid to Korea Movement
Under such a surging sound
American planes often come to my northeast airspace for strafing
Will threaten the security of the entire China
Indeed, I can't bear to sit idly by anymore
……
At present, we only have to go our separate ways
Waiting for victory to return
How delightful that scene was
In October 1951, Lu Mingkun was ordered to rush to the Dagushan Field Airport on the border between China and North Korea
Not long after
Zhu Jinxiang was also sent to Northeast China
Due to different military bases
After the two parted ways in Shanghai
I have never seen you again
Write a letter to become this couple
The only way to express longing
They always care for and encourage each other
Lu Mingkun wrote in his letter to Zhu Jinxiang
This time we will all go exercise
You are exercising in a war environment
I am exercising in air combat
You expect me to be a hero
I hope you can strive to join the Party as soon as possible and become a model
He also carefully reminded Jin Xiang
We also need to prepare to fight against the cold weather
We need to make the blanket thicker
Buy a few pairs of thick thread socks
After he sacrificed himself in the air battle
A photo was found in his belongings
At that time, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army
The strength of the air force is relatively weak
But in the face of war, no one retreats
Every once in a while
There will be news of the pilot's sacrifice ahead
This makes Zhu Jinxiang very worried
They are in communication with each other
I often talk about the topic of "life and death"
Jinxiang
We're too far apart
If we can't die on the battlefield, we can see each other again
Even if you die, it's okay
... "
December 1951
Zhu Jinxiang followed the troops back to Shanghai
then
She hasn't received a letter from Lu Mingkun for a long time
She wrote the last letter between the two, "Mingkun"
I hope to see your handwritten handwriting often
Until he returns victorious
I pray for your health from afar
Spiritually happy
Shoot down a few more planes
Fulfill your prophecy
Also, please tell me about your skydiving situation
In the letter
He once told her that she would be parachuting soon
"I'm going to give you the parachute medal as a gift."
In the letter
She's also as usual
Raised a lot of questions
She is looking forward to his answer
But this letter was never sent again
……
December 1951
Lu Mingkun
Sacrifice heroically in an air battle
At the age of only 22
After the sacrifice of Lu Mingkun
Found a picture bag in his belongings
It's inside there
There is a photo of her
Pilots all have a picture bag
My little photo was placed inside
He always joked that
That's his' protector '
Over 70 years have passed
Zhu Jinxiang is already 90 years old
She said:
The last letter has been written
Later it was confirmed that he sacrificed himself
Not sent out
……
Actually, our closest performance
It's just a handshake
But this emotion seems to be
"Extremely deep and long-lasting"
nowadays
These letters are all collected in
The Family Letters Museum of Renmin University of China
Those yellowed letters
It's a witness to their vivid love
It is also a witness to that magnificent history
