In the years of China's socialist revolution, countless heroes emerged. At the same time, in the baptism of war, countless outstanding generals also emerged, and under their leadership, the Chinese people won the final victory and established the great New China. Among these bright generals, Comrade ** is undoubtedly a very prominent one.
When he was in the Red Army, he led the troops to defeat the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army by the Kuomintang many times. During the Anti-Japanese War, he organized the Battle of the Hundred Regiments and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. During the War of Liberation, the Northwest Field Army led by him made outstanding contributions to the cause of China's liberation.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, Comrade ** led the Chinese People's Volunteers to defeat the US invaders on the Korean battlefield, winning a huge reputation for the Chinese people.
But he was such a highly meritorious general, and in the turbulent years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became a tragic figure of that era because he "knew everything and dared to speak directly".
After his death, his close comrade-in-arms *** comrade,Secretly arranged for his ashes to be stored in Chengdu, far away in Sichuan, and strictly ordered that no one should be allowed to move them without permission.
It was not until 1978 that Comrade **'s ashes were taken back to Beijing and ceremoniously placed in the Babaoshan Martyrs Cemetery.
**。In the revolutionary years, he dared to rush and fight, and he was a famous brave general. In the years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** still maintained the true character of a soldier, he dared to speak out, and hated those things that were deceitful.
In 1959, ** lived for a period of time in Wujia Garden, a suburb of Beijing, when China was in the period of large-scale satellite release, and many places reported crop harvests far beyond the reasonable range, ** deeply doubted these data.
In order to verify the authenticity of the data, he personally opened up a test field in Wujia Garden, carefully calculated the yield, and pursued the answer with a realistic attitude. Because of his upright personality, in the ever-changing political arena, the situation of ** is not very satisfactory.
During the turbulent period that began in 1969, ** became the object of criticism at the time for historical and political reasons. They were treated unfairly.
Under the harsh material conditions, ***, who suffered from rectal cancer, died in Beijing on October 29, 1974. His body was quickly cremated, the ashes were put into a rudimentary urn, and a generation of heroic spirits disappeared without a trace, and even his last ashes were gone**, not many people knew.
**。In 1978, with the end of the turmoil, China ushered in a new construction situation. Many of the old comrades who had been unfairly treated in those turbulent years were rehabilitated one by one. ** Comrades' achievements have also been affirmed by the party.
In order to restore the honor of Comrade ***, the Communist Party of China is scheduled to hold a memorial meeting for Comrade *** on December 24, 1978 to pay tribute to this revolutionary comrade who died in the turmoil.
But at this time, everyone encountered a huge problem. The ashes of the comrade have not been found, and it is not known where they were placedAfter several inquiries, the preparers for the funeral got an effective clue from Comrade ***'s niece Peng Gang.
Peng Gang told the comrade in charge that Comrade **'s ex-wife Pu Anxiu had said that Comrade **'s ashes might be in Chengdu, Sichuan.
At the same time, Pu Anxiu also told Peng Gang that the placement of Comrade **'s ashes was personally arranged by the *** Prime Minister, who was seriously ill at the time, and Comrade Li Dazhang, the secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee at that time, could also testify that he had indeed received Mr. Peng's urn in Chengdu.
After learning the whereabouts of Comrade ***'s urn, ** immediately sent a plane to Chengdu, hoping to bring his ashes back to Beijing before Comrade ***'s public memorial activities.
** with ***
In the winter of 1974, Liu Xingyuan and Li Dazhang, the main leaders of Sichuan Province at that time, received two soldiers from Beijing in their office.
The two soldiers looked cold, looking very sad in their hearts, and after arriving at their office, they conveyed a special instruction to the leaders of Sichuan Province who were present that they brought an urn with the pseudonym Wang Chuan from Beijing, which contained the ashes of Marshal ***, which needed to be stored in the Chengdu area.
This matter must be kept extremely confidential, after the urn is placed, it must be taken care of, it is not allowed to move, and no one can take it away without the instructions of **. At that time, several people were stunned, but they didn't expect that this simple urn contained the ashes of the *** marshal who had made great military achievements.
Especially Li Dazhang, who has a lot of intersection with ***, can't suppress the grief and anger in his heart, Mr. Peng's hearty smile is still in front of him, and he has become a small wooden box.
In 1965, the first marshal was arranged to Sichuan because of the impact of some events, and served as the deputy director of the Southwest Third Line Construction Committee in charge of local economic construction.
**。Li Dazhang, then secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, personally visited Mr. Peng several times, and the two talked happily and formed a deep friendship. After Mr. Peng returned to Beijing in 1966, Li Dazhang often thought of this approachable marshal, but no one expected that this farewell would become forever.
But in that special era, several people had to put their grief in their hearts and complete the task of preserving the ashes wholeheartedly to comfort Mr. Peng's soul in heaven.
After the two soldiers left, Li Dazhang and several others immediately began to arrange the placement of Mr. Peng's ashes, and after careful consideration, several people decided to send this special urn to the crematorium in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu. And this task was entrusted to Comrade Zhang Zhenya, who was in charge of the security work of the provincial party committee.
Li Dazhang. After receiving the task, Zhang Zhenya came to the hotel where the two soldiers lived, and carefully received the urn in his hand, although he didn't know what it contained, but from the solemn eyes of the two soldiers, Zhang Zhenya could feel the weight of the urn. He then sent the urn to the crematorium in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu and told the person in charge of the crematorium, Master Xin, that he must take good care of the urn.
No matter who it is, they can't take it away privately, seeing that the leader is so trusted, Master Xin, who has always been steady, didn't ask much, but just carefully took this simple urn into his hand and put it in the storage room, so the bones of Comrade *** stayed quietly in this small corner for four whole years.
In the past four years, Master Xin took care of this special urn carefully, and even after he retired, he also told the ** person to take good care of this urn called Wang Chuan.
**Funeral. In December 1978, the staff responsible for finding Mr. Peng's ashes found the person in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and asked about the whereabouts of Mr. Peng's ashes. But at this time, the leaders of the provincial party committee have changed their teams for several sessions, and no one knows where Mr. Peng's ashes were placed at that time.
Just when everyone was worried about this matter, Zhang Zhenya, who had been promoted to secretary general of Sichuan Province, saw the letter brought by the visitor, and he suddenly remembered the urn named Wang Chuan given to him by the two soldiers from Beijing in 1974.
He immediately told the person in charge about it, and the overjoyed person in charge eagerly told Zhang Zhenya that the urn named Wang Chuan contained the ashes of Comrade ***.
After learning the truth, Zhang Zhenya immediately took people to the crematorium in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, and after careful search by the crematorium staff, the urn covered with dust engraved with Wang Chuan's name was still intact on the shelf of the ashes storage room, and the ashes of Comrade ** finally had a whereabouts.
Zhang Zhenya, who got the urn, hurriedly went to buy a red silk, carefully bandaged it, and then hurriedly brought it back to the Sichuan Provincial Party CommitteeUnder the salute of the leaders of the provincial party committee, the ashes of Comrade ** were taken on the plane.
**。On December 22, the ashes of the marshal finally arrived in the capital Beijing, his niece Peng Gang personally took the marshal's ashes off the plane, and after the memorial service, the ashes of the marshal were buried in the Babaoshan Martyrs Cemetery, and his comrades-in-arms were closely lined up with the marshal, and after many years of separation, he finally returned to the arms of his comrades.
The reason why the marshal's ashes were placed far away in Chengdu, Sichuan, and were not damaged is due to the credit of the Prime Minister. Marshal and Marshal were revolutionary comrades during the Red Army period, who fought side by side and made great contributions to the cause of liberation.
In the special era after the founding of the People's Republic of China, although he was treated unfairly, he always respected *** very much, and when he was sent out to Sichuan, he also wrote letters to *** from time to time, telling the true situation at the grassroots level to this comrade-in-arms.
The prime minister also kept paying attention to this old comrade-in-arms who had made great achievements, and tried his best to help Comrade *** in a difficult political environment.
**。When he learned that Marshal *** had died unjustly, he immediately ordered two trustworthy soldiers to properly preserve Marshal ***'s ashes, and instructed that no one should be allowed to move without permission. He believed that the chaotic and dark period would always pass, and the ** marshal would one day be washed away.
Today, the marshal and the prime minister have been away from us for decades, but their spirit of focusing on the overall situation, defending the country, and working for the people has always affected us. Their friendship that has withstood the test of war is even more admired by our younger generations!
