Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

On the 16th, at the Skinhead Party's North China "Suppression Headquarters" Headquarters, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Deng Baoshan met and negotiated on behalf of Commander-in-Chief Fu Zuoyi with representatives of our party's People's Liberation Army Lin Biao, Luo Ronghuan, and Nie Rongzhen.

On January 1, representatives of both sides in Peiping city concretized the basic spirit of the agreement reached outside the city one by one, and finally formed an "Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Peiping Issue" with 19 main articles and 18 annexes, totaling 4 articles.

The agreement will be submitted to the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China for revision before it becomes a formal agreement.

After five days of discussion, on the 21st, our party and the defenders of the city of Sijiu reached an "Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Beijing Issue."

On the 22nd, Fu Zuoyi signed the "Agreement on the Peaceful Liberation of Peking" and delivered a radio speech that could be heard throughout the city.

Li Qingfeng did not go to work at the police station that day. He stayed at home with Lirong and their three children, sharing the joy together.

Li Qingfeng's eyes were red. He hugged Li Weiguo and said to Wu Lirong with a smile: "Lirong, did you hear that? The city of Beijing was finally liberated."

"Yes! Brother Qingfeng, we are finally free." Wu Lirong replied with joy on her face.

The 25 defenders of Sijiucheng under Fu Zuoyi, the North China "Suppression Headquarters" headquarters, the 4th and 9th Corps and 8 army headquarters, 24 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry division, together with special forces and irregular troops, totaling 25 people, all moved to the designated location outside the city to await reorganization.

On January 1, the 31th Column of the Northeast Field Army entered Peiping to take over the defense, and Peiping was declared peacefully liberated.

At the same time, it also took over several important government agencies, such as banks, police stations, etc.

In order to celebrate the great victory of the peaceful liberation of Peiping, celebrate Peiping's return to the embrace of the people, and at the same time demonstrate the powerful strength of the People's Liberation Army, the Peiping-Tianjin Front Command decided to hold a grand entry ceremony.

On February 2, the People's Liberation Army held a grand ceremony to enter the city.

Li Qingfeng was holding Li Weiguo, Wu's mother was holding Li Weihong, Wu Lirong was holding Li Weijun, Master Na Quanfu, and Wu Dajun arrived at Qianmen Street early, waiting for the arrival of our party's troops.

Mr. Wu is a leader in the police station and an old party member of the People's Team. He went to a meeting and had no time to attend the welcoming ceremony into the city.

After all, our party has taken over the old city, and important government departments like the police station will definitely be disbanded and reorganized, and Wu's father must participate.

When we arrived at Qianmen Street, it was already crowded with people. Citizens on both sides of the street came spontaneously to welcome the People's Liberation Army.

Several people were holding bright red flags in their hands, chatting and laughing with people around them on the street. Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of the citizens, it was clear that they were feeling uneasy.

At 10 a.m., the entry ceremony began.

The troops entering the city entered from Yongdingmen and marched into the city in a mighty, majestic and solemn manner along Yongdingmen Street and Qianmen Street.

Now, the city of 1949 has been peacefully liberated, and the People's Liberation Army will march through here with its heads held high and in neat steps, officially declaring the end of that shameful history!

The cold weather could not stop the excitement of the citizens of 1949, nor could it stop the majestic and powerful body of the People's Liberation Army.

Citizens, students, and workers of the old city poured out of the city, holding flags in their hands, shouting slogans, and warmly welcoming the People's Liberation Army into the city.

On the streets, the People's Liberation Army marched forward with their heads held high and their chests puffed out in neat steps.

The sound of footsteps hitting the ground was extremely loud, as if there were thousands of troops.

Behind the troops were six tanks moving in an orderly manner, like a giant steel beast. Its thick and black gun barrel made people terrified.

Li Qingfeng and the people around him all shouted loud slogans at the same time, in an orderly and loud voice, just like a sleeping dragon waking up.

Li Weiguo didn't know what to think. He looked up at Li Qingfeng and pointed with his little hand at the orderly team and the tanks behind them, shouting, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Li Qingfeng felt the movement in his arms, looked down at his eldest son, and then looked along his little hand. He found that he was pointing at the advancing People's Liberation Army. He smiled and said to him: "Weiguo, aren't those People's Liberation Army soldiers very majestic and powerful? Do you want to join the People's Liberation Army when you grow up?"

Li Weiguo shook his head, indicating that he didn't mean that. He was referring to the tanks, but he couldn't express what he wanted to express. He could only shout anxiously: "Ah! Ah!"

Li Qingfeng saw Li Weiguo shaking his head, and he didn't understand what he meant. He just thought he was excited to see the PLA, so he could only follow his understanding and said with a smile: "Okay, Weiguo, as long as you want to join the army, Dad agrees."

Li Weiguo shut up and thought for a long time before he said what he wanted to say, "Car, car."

After hearing this, Li Qingfeng replied to him: "Weiguo, that's not a car, it's a tank." He handed it to him and repeated: "Tank."

"Tank." Li Weiguo repeated it. He began to look thoughtfully at the weapons in the team, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Yes, tanks." Li Qingfeng nodded and looked up to continue watching the advancing team.

Time passed quickly and the entry ceremony did not end until around 1:00 p.m.

Afterwards, the citizens who had spontaneously come to the streets to welcome the People's Liberation Army into the city went home to celebrate, while those who had some money went to restaurants to drink and celebrate.

Li Qingfeng and his group also wanted to celebrate.

After they returned home, Li Qingfeng sent Wu Lirong back to the house to look after the children, and then he and Wu's mother went to the kitchen to start preparing food.

While Li Qingfeng was processing the ingredients, he turned to Wu's mother and asked, "Mom, will my dad be home for dinner soon?"

"I don't know! He didn't tell me." Mother Wu cut the side dishes and continued, "The meal is ready. We can eat right away without waiting for your father. Your father will definitely celebrate with the people in the police station and the organization."

"That's right." Li Qingfeng didn't say anything. He lowered his head and carefully processed the ingredients in his hands.

In about half an hour, Li Qingfeng prepared a sumptuous meal.

Li Qingfeng filled everyone's glasses and was about to say a few words of celebration when he was stopped by the voice of Wu's father calling him in the yard.

"Qingfeng, Qingfeng." Wu Chenggui walked into the room in a hurry, picked up someone's water cup on the table, and drank it in big gulps.

Li Qingfeng stood up, took a cup, filled it with wine for Father Wu, and asked, "Dad, why are you in such a hurry to come back?"

Wu's mother also asked, "Yes! Why didn't you celebrate at the police station?"

Everyone in the room looked at Father Wu curiously. After all, the city was peacefully liberated, so they had to have a drink to celebrate, right? Why did he come back?

Wu Chenggui said, "Are you still celebrating? We are all very busy. Our team has just taken over the city of Sijiu. We must rectify important departments and sort out our own work before we can do a good job. We will be busy for a while!"

Everyone nodded, and Li Qingfeng saw that he had finished speaking, so he invited everyone to drink and eat.
