In May 1939, Fang Qiang, head of the General Political Organization, temporarily received an order from his superiors to conduct an inspection in other places. Due to the very heavy workload of the department, there was an urgent need to find a suitable person to fill the vacancy in order not to delay normal operations. After careful consideration, the great man proposed that the 23-year-old *** be appointed deputy minister and temporarily take charge of the personnel deployment and ideological work of military cadres. Some cadres with older qualifications in the military raised their own concerns about this: "Will he be too young?"Can you carry this heavy responsibility?For a while, similar doubts came one after another.
In the face of these doubts, the great man said categorically: "Since you think that he is not good to be a deputy minister, let him be a minister." "*What's so good about it?Why did you win the trust of great men?** 22 years younger than the great man, their hometown is in Liuyang County, Hunan Province, and they can be regarded as half a fellow countryman. Under the influence of his parents and siblings, a seed of revolution was planted in his heart.
Two years later, under the influence of progressive students, he secretly joined the Communist Youth League in the winter of the same year, and since then he has been throwing himself into the torrent of revolution. In 1927, after the failure of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, the great man led the rest of his troops to Wenjia City, Liuyang County, and stationed in Liren School. After hearing the news, driven by curiosity, I climbed up the wall and looked at the great man from afar. This is the first time I met a great man in my memory. In the Long March procession, he was called the "Red Imp".
In 1933, at the age of 18, *** was transferred to the base area and worked in the propaganda and youth department. During this period, he was constantly promoted by his superiors because of his excellent work ability, and began to preside over related daily work. After arriving in northern Shaanxi, ** began to be entrusted with important tasks. Before the start of the Long March, he had already served as the secretary general of the ** Bureau of the Young Communist Party, don't look at his young age, but he was not ambiguous at all when he started his work. For this reason, it has also become one of the more famous "red ghosts" in the Long March team.
From 1936, he successively served as the head of the Communist Youth League Organization and Propaganda Department, and a year later he was selected to study at Kang Da, and in September of the same year, he was transferred to the Political Department of Kang Da as deputy director. In 1938, at the age of 22, he was promoted to the political commissar of the first brigade of Kang Da. "*What's so good about it?Why did you win the trust of great men?"Climb the wall" to see the great man. The young moment proves an important idea: ambition is not limited by age. The year 1939 was a turning point in his life.
At the age of 26, he succeeded Fang Qiang and began to serve as deputy director of the Organization Department of the General Political Department, and acted as the minister. During this period of time, his work ability was highly appreciated by his old colleagues Tao Zhu, Bian Zhangwu, Wu Shuzhi, etc., and Wang Jiaxiang, director of the General Political Department, was full of praise for him, which made him grow rapidly in his work. Three years later, at a young age, he became head of the Organization Department of the General Political Department. Although his face is still immature, he is meticulous in his work and has achieved remarkable results.
Due to the needs of his work, he often negotiated with senior generals in the army, and each time he strictly followed the work guidelines, winning their trust and support. When recalling this work experience in his later years, he said with emotion: "Chen Geng, Wang Shusheng, Xiao Ke and other outstanding generals in the army, I have communicated with them many times, even if they are sometimes harshly criticized, they can accept it.
