Joined the Red Detachment of Women at the age of 21

She held her child in her arms and continued to march

1910

Wang Yunmei was born into a poor peasant family in Hainan

My father, uncle and brother all joined the army to fight against the Japanese

Influenced by them

Wang Yunmei left the village and joined the Red Army

1931, the Second Independent Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army

The Third Regiment Women's Special Forces Company was established

21-year-old Wang Yunmei and more than 100 other women

Become an initial member of this Red Women's Army

The following autumn, Wang Yunmei, who was already pregnant

Insist on moving with the company to the base

That day, she was exhausted.

A baby boy was born in a temporary delivery shed built by a comrade

To avoid the enemy's pursuit

On the second day after giving birth, she continued to run with her child in her arms

The company had been out of food for many days, so in order to give the child more milk

Comrades tried their best to search for wild vegetables and fruits for Wang Yunmei to eat

But the child is still getting thinner day by day

In the end, this little life accompanied her mother and her comrades

More than ten days and nights have passed

I stopped breathing on a rainy evening

Joined the Party at the age of 102

The oldest new member in the history of the Communist Party of China

The Red Army of Women

Cooperated with the main force of the Red Army and fought dozens of battles

Contribute to the victory of the revolution

May 1, 2000, Red Detachment of Women Memorial Park

Built where they once fought

Wang Yunmei moved here to enjoy her old age

One day, a tourist asked her

“How much party dues do you pay each year?”

Wang Yunmei was very confused and asked her family

Why has no one reminded her to pay her party dues?

Her family told her that because she was not a party member

It turns out that Wang Yunmei always thought

Joining the army and taking part in the revolution is like joining the party

So she asked someone to write for her and dictated the story herself.

I wrote a two-page application to join the party.

She said: “I didn’t join the party.

It's like being without a home

I hope the organization can examine me seriously and accept me as a party member."

2012

102-year-old Wang Yunmei solemnly swore an oath under the party flag

Set a record for the oldest new member in the party's history

September 2013, one year after fulfilling my wish to join the Party

Wang Yunmei passed away at the age of 103

Today, the members of the Red Detachment of Women

All have passed away

But their heroic image

Forever engraved in the memory of every Chinese

Inspiring us to always move forward
