In October 1922, Ling Nanqing was born in a revolutionary family in Baihua Village, Ensi Township (now Tong Town), Pingjiang County. His father Ling Yunhan and aunt Ling Diran participated in the revolution. Under the influence of the revolutionary family, Ling Nanqing participated in the Soviet Children's Group of the Thirteen Township of the Thirteenth District of Pingjiang North at the age of 7.

"Our main task is to shout slogans, labels, and propaganda." Then, Ling Nanqing sang, and then the beginning of the beginning.

In early 1935, Ling Nanqing's father Ling Yunhan was transferred to the Minister of Organization of the Yongsheng County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and participated in the guerrilla struggle of the county. At that time, the leaders of the Hunan, Hubei and Jiangsu District and the Red 16 Division often went to the Lingnan Qing family to meet to discuss the struggle strategy. Everyone loves the smart Ling Nanqing, who often holds him on the horse back. Wei Ping, the head of the 48th Regiment of the Red 16 Division, also asked Ling Nanqing to serve as his guards.

In June 1935, the Kuomintang reactionaries "entered" the residents of the Hunan Hubei and Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, in an attempt to destroy the Red Division of Red and the Provincial Party Committee of the CPC Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi Province. On the evening of July 16, the Red 16 Division decided to divide the soldiers and broke into Mai City Town, Tongcheng County, Hubei Province.

However, in the process of breaking through, Ling Nanqing went away with the team because of his age and physical strength.

After being lost, Ling Nanqing returned to Enxi's house, but learned from his mother's mouth that his father was unfortunately arrested.

Ling Nanqing told reporters that when his father sacrificed, he and his mother hid on the mountains nearby, and he witnessed his father's sacrifice. "Bullets shot from behind his neck and worn from the head."

The sacrifice of his father not only did not make Ling Nanqing afraid of shrinking, but also strengthened his determination to participate in the revolution. At this time, Wei Ping led the 48th regiment and returned to Pingjiang Golden Cave. Wei Ping learned that Ling Nanqing had returned to Enxi and sent someone to receive him to the golden hole. At the end of 1936, Ling Nanqing followed Wei Ping, who had been promoted to the deputy teacher of the Red 16 Division, to launch a guerrilla war in Xiushui, Wuning, and Tonggu in Jiangxi. In a battle, the troops were scattered, Ling Nanqing went away again and returned to Pingjiang.

After returning to Pingjiang, the mother did not know where the Kuomintang was arrested. Ling Nanqing got in touch with her aunt Ling Diran, and followed her aunt to make contact with the party in Dongkeng Township, Pingjiang.

In June 1939, after the Pingjiang tragedy, the revolutionary working environment further deteriorated, and the Communist Party members were constantly being killed. One day in October, the Kuomintang reactionaries surrounded Dongkeng. Ling Nanqing retreated to the mountain under the leadership of her aunt. Seeing that the enemy was caught up, the aunt led the enemy to herself in order to cover Ling Nanqing, and eventually sacrificed. This is the second time Ling Nanqing has witnessed his loved ones being killed.

"My aunt was pregnant when she was sacrificed." Speaking of this, the old man was emotional, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Shortly after the aunt's sacrifice, the Communist Party member Huang Denui fled to Dongkeng by the enemy. Ling Nanqing risked his life and took Huang Denui all the way to avoid the enemy's hunt. "After Huang Denui left, I never got his news again. It is estimated that he also gave life for the revolution." The old man murmured.

In order to preserve the revolutionary power, in June 1940, the Hunan -Hubei and Jiangxi Special Commission received an order to transfer. The special committee secretary Luo Qixun left Pingjiang and found Ling Nanqing and commissioned him to help hide his pistol to a reliable place. Ling Nanqing brought Luo Qixun to the Qing family in Shuidong Da Bay, Enxi Township.

Soon after Luo Qixun left Pingjiang, the organizations of the party at all levels of Pingjiang completely paused. Ling Nanqing lost his last "home". Since then, he has become a homeless orphan.

In June 1941, Ling Nanqing, who was arrested by the Kuomintang, was compiled into the 4th Army of the 27th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, embarked on the anti -Japanese battlefield, and participated in the second Changsha battle and the third Changsha battle. Work.

After liberation, Ling Nanqing returned to his hometown of farmers and never mentioned the experience of participating in the Red Army. It wasn't until Luo Qixun came to Pingjiang in 1984. The two old comrades who had been in the 40 years reunited, and Ling Nanqing lost the identity of the old Red Army to confirm that the legendary revolutionary experience of his Red Army was known to the world.

The interview was approaching, and the reporter helped Ling Nanqing back to the bedroom to rest. A brush on the wall attracted the attention of reporters, and I saw six big characters strong -to fight for greater glory. This is both Ling Nanqing's self -reliance and a true portrayal of his life.
