Although the surname Zuo is not common, many outstanding figures have emerged in his genealogy, such as Zuo Zongtang, who recovered Xinjiang and promoted the establishment of Xinjiang Province, and Zuo Xiong, who is not afraid of power and governance.
They add luster to the surname Zuo.
In modern times, another person surnamed Zuo is highly regarded and praised as "a person who is enough to be a model for the party", and he is praised as "a rare person in the world."
talents". Who is he sacred?Why didn't he get the credit he deserved in the founding ceremony?Let's start with his childhood.
General Zuo Quan, whose real name is Zuo Jiquan, was one of the old Red Army in the early days of our country, who participated in many battles and showed great courage in the battles.
Zuo Quan was born in 1906 in a small village in Hunan Province, and his family was not wealthy, and belonged to an ordinary peasant family.
Zuo Quan's father died of illness when he was more than a year old, and the burden of the family fell on his mother's shoulders.
My mother worked harder every day and soon fell ill from overwork, but she knew the heavy responsibilities of the family, so she had to support her weak body and continue to work hard.
Zuo Quan finally reached the age of 8, which is the age of going to school, but his family simply cannot afford his tuition, and although his mother also wants him to get an education, there is nothing he can do.
However, the twist of fate occurred on the day Zuo Quan met a private school gentleman.
Mr. Private School was quite surprised by Xiao Zuoquan's intelligence, and although he saw that his family was poor, he was impressed by his talent.
The mother told Mr. Private School about the family's predicament, and Mr. Private School said that there was not much difference between teaching one person and teaching two people, and he did not ask for compensation.
So, Zuo Quan embarked on the road of study.
Work-study is well known, but there are very few examples of work-study at the primary school level, and Zuo Quan completed his primary school education in this way.
Zuo Quan, a young but mature primary school student, knows the truth that knowledge changes fate.
However, the news that Yuan Shikai signed the "21 Articles" and humiliated the country changed his mind.
Under the influence of his teacher, he ignited a strong sense of patriotism, abandoned the idea of getting out of the predicament personally, and embraced the ideal of getting rid of the predicament for the people of the whole country.
Subsequently, he was admitted to secondary school and began to be exposed to progressive books, Marxism and the Communist Party.
With revolutionary enthusiasm, he decided to go to Guangzhou with like-minded friends, abandon his pen and follow Rong, and embark on the road of revolution.
After joining the Communist Party of China, he was sent to the Soviet Union to study for five years, where he acquired a lot of knowledge, and was later sent to the western Fujian base area as the chief of education of the military academy.
Subsequently, he became the commander and chief of staff of the 12th Army, and in battle, he showed all the knowledge he had learned while studying abroad, and he showed extraordinary bravery.
However, due to his five-year experience in the Soviet Union, the organization became suspicious of his position, and as a result, he was removed from the military and had to return to school to teach.
However, ** strongly supported Zuoquan, saying: "If you organize and send Comrade Zuoquan to study in the Soviet Union, you should give him enough trust."
How ridiculous to do it now!"Zuo Quan was an outstanding military leader, and in 1933 he was appointed chief of staff of the Red First Army, commanding troops to fight alongside **.
He played an important role in the fourth and fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns, strategizing and dealing a fatal blow to the enemy.
During the anti-"encirclement and suppression" period, Zuo Quan commanded the troops to successfully evacuate, which bought valuable time for the main force to move and ensured their safety.
During the Long March, Zuo Quan led his troops to overcome obstacles, open the way for the main force, remove obstacles, and greatly ensure their safety.
He also participated in important battles such as the four crossings of Chishui and the capture of the Luding Bridge.
After 1939, Zuo Quan was stationed in the Taihang Mountain base area, and in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's onslaught, he successfully repelled the Kuomintang army and defended the base area.
However, in 1942, the Japanese army launched the "May Day Sweep", and Zuo Quan decisively ordered a retreat in the face of a strong enemy army, and personally stayed behind the rear.
Under the heavy bombardment of the Japanese army and the bombing of aircraft, Zuo Quan chose to stay behind regardless of his personal safety, and finally died on the battlefield in the Taihang Mountain base area.
His sacrifice caused deep grief and mourning, but his heroic deeds have been passed down forever as an eternal hero.
When General Zuo Quan died, his daughter was only two years old. Once, a young daughter asked her mother, "Mom, why hasn't Daddy come back yet?"
The mother replied with grief: "Your father has been trying to make the people happy, but he has not been able to do so, and he has not been able to come back because he is a trustworthy man."
Although her young children did not understand the concept of birth, old age, sickness and death, she always looked forward to her father's wish to return home.
In order to forever cherish the memory of General Zuo Quan, Liao County in Shanxi Province was renamed Zuo Quan County. However, in the anti-bureaucratic movement after 1949, Zuoquan County also faced the fate of changing its name.
The local people have asked *** to keep the name of Zuoquan County.
**After listening to the wishes of the people of Shanxi, after careful consideration, the name of Zuoquan County was finally retained as an exception, becoming the only county and city that has not been renamed.
Many years later, General Zuo Quan's daughter grew up and understood her father's glorious deeds of sacrificing his life for the country, and the dissatisfaction with her father's absence gradually dissipated.
After many years, an old woman came to the mausoleum of General Zuo Quan with her children and grandchildren, stroked the ** on the tombstone and said: "Dad, I brought the children to see you!".
