Foreword:
In 1980, when Wang Jian'an had not been heard from for several months, his comrades-in-arms inquired about his family, but learned that Wang Jian'an had passed away. What's even more confusing is that as the founding general, Wang Jian'an's funeral is so little known, why is it so low-key?
All this originated from the "love and hatred" between him and Xu Shiyou.
1. "Love and hate" with Xu Shiyou
After the end of the Red Army's Long March, our party trained generals with strong military theory, including Wang Jian'an and Xu Shiyou. Due to historical reasons, Xu Shiyou planned to go to Sichuan to fight guerrillas, which attracted the support of many generals.
As a friend, although Wang Jian'an disagreed, in the face of his enthusiastic comrades-in-arms, he could only hide his opposition. On the eve of departure, he secretly reported Xu Shiyou's plan to the principal, and stopped the action in time.
However, this move cooled down the relationship between Xu Shiyou and Wang Jian'an, and even produced a-for-tat taste. In Xu Shiyou's view, Wang Jian'an's behavior is equivalent to betraying a friend.
Before the Battle of Jinan, ** specially summoned Wang Jian'an and gave him an important task. **Worried that Xu Shiyou's influence in Jiaodong might affect the battle, he especially instructed Wang Jian'an to pay attention to unity.
Although the two understood the principle of unity and revolutionary supremacy, after many years, the two had already reconciled. During the battle, Wang Jian'an personally commanded, put forward the idea of persisting in the battle at the critical moment, and finally won the battle.
2. Postponement of the conferment of titles for one year.
Before the title was conferred in 1955, the assessment team listed Wang Jian'an as a list of generals and handed it over to *** for review. Unexpectedly, ** circled his name, indicating that "Wang Jian'an is a little proud and should be awarded the rank of lieutenant general".
It turned out that Wang Jian'an had an argument with ** and finally failed to reach an agreement. Since then, he has left a proud impression in the Chairman's mind.
When the assessment team learned of the Chairman's opinion, it was puzzled. While the Chairman's opinion needed to be adopted, it did not seem reasonable to award it only to Lieutenant Generals.
Since participating in the revolution in 1924, Wang Jian'an has participated in many revolutionary activities. In 1927, he organized the Eastern Hubei Army to fire the first shot of the Kuomintang reactionaries, which later developed into the Red Fourth Front Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Jian'an fought guerrillas in Shandong and smashed the Japanese army's sweeping plan. In 1941, he fought with the Japanese army for more than 20 days, wiped out more than 1,000 Japanese troops, and preserved the achievements of the anti-Japanese army.
In the War of Liberation, Wang Jian'an has always commanded on the front line, even if he was injured, he insisted on staying at the command post.
Generals like him who experienced the Long March, the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation were all awarded the rank of general. However, considering the contradiction between Wang Jian'an and **, the assessment team did not include his name in the list of lieutenant generals, but awarded him the rank of general separately in the following year.
3. Thrifty veteran generals.
Although he became the founding general, Wang Jian'an still remembers the days when he was oppressed, and he is more concerned about the hardships of the people at the bottom. He was extremely repulsive to extravagance and waste.
Every time he inspected the troops, Wang Jian'an arrived at the hotel half an hour ahead of schedule and never informed anyone. He went directly into the cafeteria where the fighters ate, ate with the grassroots fighters, and listened to their opinions.
Faced with the exquisite meals prepared by the officers, Wang Jian'an severely criticized them and asked them to sell them and eat only simple meals themselves.
In 1978, when he inspected the troops, it happened that the division showed a movie to the soldiers. Wang Jian'an happily participated in the movie, ready to sit with the soldiers.
However, a small warrior admonished: "Chief, your place is in front. Looking at the comfortable tables and chairs in the front row, Wang Jian'an asked to take them down and insisted on sitting with the fighters.
By 1979, Wang Jian'an had health problems and knew that his time was short. He refused to allow his wife to let the children come back to see him, and even refused to hold a memorial service. He said, "Just scatter my ashes in the field." ”
In 1980, Wang Jian'an passed away. Because it was too sudden, the children were out of town and could not see their father for the last time. According to his request, the funeral was carried out simply, until someone came to inquire about him, and it was learned that he had died.
Conclusion: Although the hero is gone, his spirit lives on. In the red journey, Wang Jian'an had grievances with his comrades-in-arms and experienced twists and turns in awarding titles, but he wrote a historical chapter with an extraordinary life. His frugality and profound revolutionary process have left us with profound reflection and admiration.
Red Hero Wang Jian'an: Tenacity and Thoughtfulness in the Revolutionary Process.
Wang Jian'an's life, like the red Long March, is full of ups and downs and twists and turns. The grievances between him and his comrade-in-arms Xu Shiyou, as well as the twists and turns on the issue of awarding titles, all reflect that turbulent historical period. Through the description of Wang Jian'an's life, this article provokes people to think deeply about the founding general.
First of all, the article takes "the 'love and hatred' with Xu Shiyou" as the starting point, revealing the personal dilemmas and choices of revolutionaries in the torrent of history. After the Long March, due to historical reasons, Xu Shiyou decided to go to Sichuan to fight guerrillas, and this decision caused a rift with his friend Wang Jian'an. Wang Jian'an was unimpressed by Xu Shiyou's actions, but out of consideration for the overall situation of the revolution, he chose to remain silent, and finally reported Xu Shiyou's plan to the principal on the eve of departure, saving the future of his comrades-in-arms. The story shows the resilience and thoughtfulness of a revolutionary in a difficult situation, who is able to make the right choice between the general interests of the country and his personal feelings, even when he has conflicts with his close comrades.
Second, the revelation of the twists and turns of the title allows people to see the strife and complexity between the leaders of the revolution. ** The proud impression of Wang Jian'an led him to hesitate on the issue of conferring the title. The article shows Wang Jian'an's great contribution to the revolutionary cause by describing his revolutionary process, especially his heroic performance in the Long March, the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation. However, due to the dispute with **, ** had concerns about Wang Jian's peace of mind, which eventually led to the twists and turns of awarding the rank of lieutenant general. This episode shows us that even among revolutionaries, there are inevitably power struggles and personal contradictions, and the twists and turns of awarding titles make people lament the twists and turns of history.
Finally, the article shows Wang Jian'an's deep revolutionary feelings through the "thrifty old general". As the founding general, he never forgot the hard days of oppression, and paid more attention to caring for the people at the bottom. His frugality and perseverance are deeply imprinted in his attitude towards life. During the inspection of the troops, he went in and out with the soldiers, and did not allow the officers to lay special treatment for him. This simple and firm attitude makes people admire him as a person, and embodies the qualities of a true red hero.
On the whole, this article shows the tenacity and thoughtfulness of a red hero through the description of Wang Jian'an's life and deeds. He showed a deep revolutionary feeling in his personal grievances, in the question of his titles, and in his attitude towards life. Wang Jian'an's life is a thick ink in the history of the Chinese revolution, leaving a profound and thought-provoking imprint.
