"There is a giant on the Jialing River, talented and aggressive, all the members of the league at home and abroad are juniors, and half a protégé of Shu Middle School"., the object of praise in this poem is Mr. Zhu's mentor Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan is not only full of students all over the world, but his vision is also extraordinary.
In 1945, Zhang Lan concluded just by virtue of his expression during the Chongqing negotiations"The one who wins the world***
And the war developed as he predicted, and the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan.
So why is Zhang Lan so far-sighted?
What is the basis for his assertion that "the one who wins the world?"
Zhang Lan came into contact with him while studying in Japan"Science and democracy".He was dissatisfied with the status quo of the warlords, which also completely changed the trajectory of his life.
In 1911, in order to oppose the Qing Dynasty, he organized the Sichuan Baolu Comrades Association and led the Sichuan people to carry out a vigorous Baolu movement.
This movement eventually became the trigger for the Xinhai Revolution, winning the praise of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and Zhang Lan's position among the democrats grew day by day.
In addition to propagating the revolutionary movement to save the country, Zhang Lan's greatest achievement was education.
He was deeply impressed by Japan's prosperity and emphasis on education, so he firmly believed that opening up the wisdom of the people was the only choice for the rise of the Chinese nation.
After finishing his studies in Japan, he returned to Nanchong, and successively founded junior and higher primary schools and Nanchong Duanming Girls' School, and the first marshal graduated from Shunqingfu School.
It was also under the influence of Zhang Lan that Marshal ** began to come into contact with communist ideas and threw himself into the revolution.
In 1925, Zhang Lan became the president of National Chengdu University, and he adopted Cai Yuanpei's policy of running the school with eclecticism and freedom of thought, and insisted on carrying out research on advanced ideas and theories such as communism and the Three People's Principles in the university despite the obstruction of the diehards.
Under his open-door policy, tens of thousands of students realized the importance of science and democracy, and these ideas also branched out, deeply influencing the revolutionary course in the southwest.
Zhang Lan's huge influence in the education sector also fed back his patriotic movement.
In 1937, Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China broke out, and under the persuasion of Zhang Lan, Liu Xiangcai, the "King of Sichuan", chose to participate in the war and made great contributions to the national resistance against Japan.
Not only that, at the most difficult time of the anti-Japanese work, Zhang Lan ran to tell each other, kept mediating between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and promoted the cooperation between the two parties.
The victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression greatly encouraged the Chinese nation, but problems also followed.
Chiang Kai-shek did not cherish the hard-won peace, and their biggest enemy in their eyes was not Japan, but the Communist Party.
When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was in full swing, Chiang Kai-shek passively slacked off the war and secretly prepared for the civil war.
In order to save the Chinese nation, our party made many concessions, and Zhang Lan was already the chairman of the Democratic League at that time, and he shouted out"Against the civil war, for peace".He also sent a letter to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to put forward the views of the Democratic League on the issues of unity, democracy, military affairs, and national construction, and asked the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to immediately stop the local war.
Under tremendous pressure, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to blatantly start a civil war, so he could only pretend to invite *** to Chongqing for negotiations in August 1945.
But everyone knew very well in their hearts that Chiang Kai-shek was just stalling for time, preparing for civil war, and even planning to plot against ***.
However, for the sake of the people of the whole country, ** put aside his personal safety and decided to go to Chongqing for negotiations. You must know that Chongqing is the base camp of Chiang Kai-shek, and the spies of the military and the central command have long been hiding in the streets and alleys, and everyone is in danger under the white terror, so many people are forced to give up if they want to meet it.
However, when he learned the news that *** was coming, Zhang Lan decided to go to greet him as soon as possible, and the people around him dissuaded him, Chiang Kai-shek had already been eyeing him, and he might encounter danger at the airport.
But he said heartily"Today *** is here, and I have to go to greet it. ”
It turned out that Zhang Lan had long heard of the great deeds of *** dedicated to the public and favored ***, so he would rather risk his life to meet him.
On August 28, as soon as the group got off the plane, Zhang Lan greeted them.
**Seeing this, I said with respect"On a hot day, you came to the airport in person, don't dare to be, don't dare to be!”。
And Zhang Lan held ***'s hand tightly and said,"Yes, it's really hard for you to run for state affairs!”。
During his stay in Chongqing, while negotiating with Chiang Kai-shek, he visited the masses everywhere, whether it was a lonely old man, a construction site worker, or a peddler's pawn, as long as anyone wanted to see him, ** went there happily and warmly shook hands with them.
Zhang Lan saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, he realized that the person in front of him was indeed completely different from Chiang Kai-shek, there was no fame and fortune in his heart, only the people, if New China did not let such a person lead, who else could lead it?
So Zhang Lan said to others"The one who wins the world***
After that, Zhang Lan once again exerted the huge influence of the Democratic League, quickly occupied the first field in China, and made important propaganda for the Communist Party to love peace and reject civil war.
Under the unanimous voice at home and abroad, Chiang Kai-shek also had to compromise and finally signed a contract with ***Double 10 Agreement, agreed to jointly build a post-war New China.
But not long after, Chiang Kai-shek still tore his face and exposed"Real Civil War, Fake Peace".The essence of all-out war has become inevitable.
Realizing Chiang Kai-shek's true colors, Zhang Lan gave up the illusion of an armistice, and he began to lead the NLD in the struggle against the corrupt and belligerent Kuomintang, and he even received death threats for refusing to attend the National Convention, which was organized by the Kuomintang.
However, Zhang Lan was extremely optimistic about the future, and when the PLA millet plus rifle faced the Kuomintang troops who were armed to the teeth by the United States, many neutrals were not optimistic about the Communist Party.
However, Zhang Lan introduced everything related to *** in detail at the meeting of the Democratic League.
In terms of intelligence, ** loves to read, and has a wide range of knowledge, whether it is poetry and songs, or leading troops to fight, he has a lot of experience.
The "Spring Snow in Qinyuan" written in Chongqing was even published in Kuomintang-controlled newspapers, and his classic battles such as the four crossings of Chishui and the Long March with his army are also full of legends.
On the other hand, Chiang Kai-shek, every time he caught our soldiers, he always treated them roughly, resulting in the loss of the people's hearts and losses.
In terms of vision, although he is from the countryside of Hunan, he cares about the world, and in his heart, the poor people are the objects worthy of being saved.
The lofty goal and the grand pattern of the ** can be seen from this.
Although at that time, the victory was only Zhang Lan's personal opinion, but as the chairman of the Democratic League, he was the mainstay of the democrats, so objectively, his opinion also played a role in promoting the defeat of the Kuomintang.
Because of this, on the day of the founding ceremony, he personally invited him to climb the Tiananmen Tower to witness the founding of New China, and was later elected as the vice chairman of the people.
It is worth mentioning that on the day Zhang Lan ascended the Tiananmen Tower, there was also a small episode.
Before the founding ceremony, *** also deliberately allocated a sum of money for clothing, hoping that Zhang Lan would use it to buy new clothes.
But he refused, Zhang Lan said"How can I use the money of the state, that is, the money of the people, to make a robe and wear it on myself?”。
So he paid for it himself and bought a set of cloth caftans.
After that, Zhang Lan directly refused a set of courtyard houses assigned to him by the state, and insisted on living in a small house with his wife, and also cultivated a small vegetable garden, carrying water every day to water the garden, and was self-sufficient.
Although he is very casual in life, Zhang Lan has always been meticulous and never slack off in his work, as he wrote"People cannot be without self-love, self-cultivation, self-esteem, self-improvement, and self-deception."
This attitude of honesty towards himself is also the standard of his life's morality.
On January 27, 1955, Zhang Lan was admitted to the hospital due to illness, but he still couldn't let go of his work, and still concentrated on drafting documents on the hospital bed, four days later"No threat can shake the determination of the Chinese people to liberate Taiwan in the slightest."Officially announced.
In this statement, Zhang Lan clearly expressed his commitment to national reunification.
First, the urgent desire for national unity. Ten days later, Zhang Lan died in his sleep at the age of 83.
