On December 24, 1978, the party and the state held a memorial service for Marshal ***. At the meeting, General Zhang Aiping stood solemnly, and when he heard the eulogy delivered by *** himself, he was deeply saddened.
That night, Zhang Aiping was so sad that she couldn't sleep for a long time, came to the desk, and wrote a poem about Marshal *** overnight, expressing his nostalgia for Marshal ***, in order to comfort Marshal ***'s spirit ...... in the sky
In December 1978, at the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the party and the country rehabilitated Zhaoxue, restored the reputation, and comforted the soul of the marshal who had a great reputation in the world under Jiuquan.
**Eulogy for Marshal ***On December 24, at the memorial service of Marshal ***, ** personally delivered a eulogy. In the eulogy, ** said:
"Comrades: It is with great sadness that we hold a memorial service for Comrade ***. ** Comrade is an outstanding member of our party, a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation, the main leader of the Pingjiang Uprising, the founder of the Third Army of the Red Army, and an ......outstanding leader of our party, state, and armyToday, in the spirit of seeking truth from facts, Comrade *** conscientiously implemented the party's policies, made a comprehensive and fair evaluation of Comrade ***, and restored his honorary ......His life was a life of revolution and loyalty to the party and the people. His unfortunate death is a heavy loss ...... our party and our armyIt has always been missed and loved by the majority of party members and the masses. ”At the memorial meeting, General Zhang Aiping looked at the portrait of *** with a heavy and relieved heart, and stood solemnly in the crowd. After listening to the eulogy delivered by Marshal ***, Zhang Aiping's heart was mixed, including regret, respect, longing, mourning, and deep nostalgia for ......
After the memorial service, Zhang Aiping returned home, but the grief in his heart still did not decrease, which reminded him of the years when he participated in the revolution with Marshal ***.
On the night of Zhang Aiping's later years, Zhang Aiping's heart has been unable to calm down, and she couldn't sleep for a long time, so she wrote a poem of nostalgia for Marshal *** overnight, named "Partridge Day, Remembering President Peng", pinning her nostalgia for her old superiors and old comrades-in-arms *** Marshal:
Pingjiang spring thunder half of the sky, Jinggang spark letter fire. The horizontal knife immediately hit the mainstream, and the same Shenzhou was replaced.
Defend the truth, why fear power!Just with the people. The spring breeze blows away the fog in Lushan, and Yuan Yuan remembers the year of Vance.
Later, Zhang Aiping often thought of the days with ***, and she was silently crying. Sometimes, Zhang Aiping will also tell the story of Marshal *** to the people around her, hoping that they can learn from the story of *** Marshal Xi noble personality and noble character!
On May 5, 1993, in the Great Hall of the People, the Communist Party of China and the Military Commission held a commemorative meeting to commemorate the publication of "Biography" and the 95th anniversary of its birth.
On the eve of the conference, Zhang Aiping received an invitation to attend the conference, and she was very happy and happily accepted the invitation to the conference. That night, Zhang Aiping recalled the years she had worked with ***, and her heart was full of emotion.
On the day of the conference, Zhang Aiping got up early, carefully selected a set of clothes to wear on her body, and asked her wife to help take a look and give advice. Then, Zhang Aiping looked at her watch and set off.
Zhang Aiping's old photos On the way to the venue, Zhang Aiping's mood was complicated, with both joy and some emotion. Happily, the publication of "* Biography" will definitely let more people know the true deeds of ***;It is lamented that the ** marshal should not leave the world in that way.
At the venue, when the host asked Zhang Aiping to speak, Zhang Aiping felt very excited. However, there was no hint on the previous invitation to let him speak. Therefore, he was not prepared in any way as to the content of the statement.
However, Zhang Aiping happily walked up to the podium and made an impromptu speech according to her inner feelings about Marshal ***. In her speech, Zhang Aiping said frankly:
Mr. Peng's great achievements and his personality can be summed up in one sentence: 'He can be regarded as a real person.' It's not easy to be a real person, and he did it!He's a real guy!People like Mr. Peng, it is better to have more people in our country. ’
Subsequently, in her speech, Zhang Aiping said: ".In order to express my condolences to him, I just thought of these words: 'The horizontal knife immediately seeks for the people, and the evening scene is bleak and sorrowful. Just and not ashamed of power, ten thousand words on the book reputation of China.
In Zhang Aiping's view, there is no doubt that the marshal's personality is noble and his character is one in a million. Therefore, he said that he hoped that the country would have more people like Marshal ***. And praised *** as "a real person", Zhang Aiping is also the first.
Zhang Aiping's evaluation of "a real person" spoke to everyone's hearts and resonated with everyone. Since then, "* is a real person", like spring rain, has entered the hearts of the people and has been widely accepted by the world.
On the other hand, it also reflects that the weight of Marshal *** in Zhang Aiping's heart is very heavy, and its influence is also very far-reaching. Therefore, Zhang Aiping attaches great importance to everything related to *** and is also very enthusiastic.
In 1998, on the 100th anniversary of ***'s birth, Zhang Aiping happily accepted the invitation of the film crew that reflected ***'s life. After working as a consultant for film shooting, Zhang Aiping appeared very busy.
This consultant, Zhang Aiping, is not nominal, but real. For this reason, Zhang Aiping deliberately took time out of her mind, made a lot of preparations, put forward her own opinions and suggestions on the content of the film and the issues to be paid attention to, and also wrote a letter to the responsible comrades of the relevant units to express her views.
During the photo period of Zhang Aiping's later years, Zhang Aiping wrote a special article to commemorate *** after repeated thinking, named "A Real Person - Deeply Remembering Comrade ***". In this article, Zhang Aiping writes:
"History has proven that he was a proletarian revolutionary, a famous military strategist at home and abroad, and an outstanding statesman. But I would also say that he was a real person. I said this at a symposium to commemorate his 95th birthday......Mr. Peng has firm faith, strong will and tenacious revolutionary spirit, wholeheartedly serves the public, does not seek personal gain, wholeheartedly creates happiness for the people, and loyally serves the ...... of the motherlandHe has always been upright, with clean sleeves, daring to make decisions and being responsible. ”In order to express her admiration for Marshal ***, Zhang Aiping wrote in this article: ".Mr. Peng's life is upright, upright, adhere to the truth, and dare to speak ...... outright* Comrade is a real person, a person with a capital 'person'. His life not only established immortal feats for our party, country, army and people, but also left us with inexhaustible spiritual wealth for generations to come, which is worthy of our eternal Xi!He will always be missed by the people!After Zhang Aiping's article was published, it had a great impact and was well received by all walks of life. An old comrade who knew Zhang Aiping said: ".Zhang Aiping is the second ***
During the period when the marshal and the prime minister were together, in order to do a good job in commemorating the commemoration, Zhang Aiping listened to the report on the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of *** and the completion of the bronze statue twice, despite her advanced age.
In addition, Zhang Aiping also communicated with Peng Gang, niece of *** and director of the Discipline Inspection Department of the General Political Department, about the implementation plan of the commemorative activities.
Later, Zhang Aiping also served as the director of the preparatory committee of the "Calligraphy Art Exhibition to Commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of ***". In order to make this exhibition a success, Zhang Aiping personally wrote the exhibition logo, creative works and related commemorative articles for the exhibition.
During this period, Zhang Aiping earnestly performed the duties of the director of the preparatory committee, listened to relevant reports many times, coordinated various relationships, and truly solved some practical problems.
It can be seen that the relationship between Zhang Aiping and Marshal *** is very close, which implies Zhang Aiping's reverence for Marshal ***.
In fact, Zhang Aiping's feelings for Marshal *** are so deep, and they have an inevitable relationship with their years of getting along and agreeing on things. Otherwise, no one will call it."Zhang Aiping is the second ***
On January 9, 1910, Zhang Aiping was born in a peasant family in Zhangjiagou, Luojiangkou Town, Daxian County, Sichuan Province. ** was born in 1898, 12 years older than Zhang Aiping.
In 1925, Zhang Aiping began to participate in the revolution and served as the vice president of the student union at Daxian Middle School. At this time, *** was already a high-achieving student who graduated from the Hunan Army Martial Arts Hall, and was the battalion commander in the Hunan Army.
In 1926, ** was incorporated into the National Revolutionary Army with the army to participate in the Northern Expedition. During this period, ** got acquainted with the communist Duan Dechang and began to accept communist ideas.
In 1928, he led the Pingjiang Uprising and brought out an important unit of the Chinese Communist Party: the 5th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Later, under the leadership of ***, he did not go to Jinggangshan and joined forces with the Red 4th Army led by *** and **.
During this period, due to the strict requirements for his subordinates, the troops of the uprising did not meet his requirements in terms of combat quality. In this case, ** does not want the soldiers to sacrifice in vain, so they often ask strictly, and when they encounter inappropriate, they will also scold loudly.
In June 1930, he served as commander-in-chief of the Red Third Army. At the end of this year, Zhang Aiping arrived in the ** Soviet District to work, and successively served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Youth League in Fujian and Western China, director of the Propaganda Department, secretary general of the ** Bureau of the Communist Youth League in the Soviet District, director of the training department, chief of staff, chief of staff, and head of the General Committee of the Young Pioneers, and an alternate member of the ** Executive Committee of the Chinese Soviet Republic.
At the beginning of 1934, Zhang Aiping was ordered to study Xi at the Red Army University, and after graduation, under the arrangement of the organization, Zhang Aiping was transferred to the Red Third Army to participate in the work and served as the political commissar of the 12th Regiment of the Fourth Division. It was this transfer that made Zhang Aiping and *** form an indissoluble bond.
Before entering the Red Third Army, Zhang Aiping had heard some things about ***. At that time, everyone said that *** was a brave and resolute, fair-minded, open-minded person, but very strict with his subordinates, with a strong personality, a big temper, and a scolding person.
Zhang Aiping's old photos Therefore, what Zhang Aiping heard the most was the respect and awe of his subordinates. In this case, many subordinates did not dare to approach him.
Based on such rumors, Zhang Aiping acted very carefully after entering the Red Third Army and always tried to do everything to the best of her ability. However, Zhang Aiping still inevitably made mistakes. It was the first meeting between the two, and while it wasn't legendary, it was also memorable.
Due to the good combat effectiveness of the 12th Regiment where Zhang Aiping belongs, it is often used as the forward unit of the army. After continuous fighting, the 12th Regiment was camping in a village in Chenxian County, Hunan.
That day, due to extreme physical fatigue, Zhang Aiping fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and she slept soundly. In the middle of the night, the communicator of the corps headquarters of the 3rd Army Corps came to the 12th Regiment with the combat order signed by *** and issued an urgent combat order that "the 12th Regiment is the avant-garde and departs before dawn".
After receiving the order, Zhang Aiping glanced in the haze, and then closed her tired eyes again. However, when Zhang Aiping woke up, it was already dawn, and it had already exceeded the "departure before dawn" stipulated in the order.
The second from the left is Zhang Aiping Seeing that the sky was dawning, Zhang Aiping hit a stirring spirit and quickly stood up. Thinking of violating the combat order of ***, it is a trivial matter to be scolded, in case the big basket is stabbed and the troops are unnecessary, the corps commander will not spare himself, Zhang Aiping hurriedly ordered the trumpeters and sounded the emergency assembly number.
At the moment he saw Zhang Aiping, ** glared at him fiercely, then "hummed" and left. Regarding the scene at that time, Zhang Aiping later recalled: ".Tie blushed and stared at me ...... with his eyesI can't forgive myself, in my life, I don't know how many times I think about it, think of myself, think of Mr. Peng.
It is said that ** did not criticize Zhang Aiping face-to-face because he had just arrived in the Red Third Army. However, that "hum". It is also enough to show that *** has a strict attitude towards his subordinates.
Although *** did not criticize him in person, Zhang Aiping remembered that "hum" for a lifetime. Later, when writing her memoirs, Zhang Aiping called the "hum" of *** "the gentlest criticism".
Soon, Zhang Aiping came back to her senses and quickly went to the task according to the order of ***. In the evening, Zhang Aiping received an order signed by him personally, requiring that in the future, when messengers at all levels deliver orders and documents at night, they must wake up the chief who accepts the order and document, and wait for the chief to sit up and read it before leaving.
**Old photos about this matter, Zhang Aiping recalled decades later: ".Mr. Peng has never criticized me, let alone scolded me. He was well aware of the extreme fatigue of the troops fighting on continuous marches. However, in order to prevent such mistakes in the future, measures were taken immediately to make amends. Mr. Peng is so considerate and caring for the cadres!I also have deep admiration for his masterful leadership.
However, one day not long after, Zhang Aiping still experienced ***'s scolding. It was during a battle, when Zhang Aiping and others gave combat orders, Deng Ping, the chief of staff of the Third Army Corps, unfortunately died under the enemy's shells. Regarding this scolding, Zhang Aiping said later:
This is because Comrade Deng Ping is an outstanding leading cadre and his right-hand man, and he has been getting along with him day and night for many years, sharing weal and woe. Also, since the Long March, he has warned me several times: Don't always run forward, pay attention to safety, and reduce sacrifices. However, he himself always runs forward. There was criticism and worry about me in his roar, but also understanding and care for me.
However, the noble character of being sincere and caring for his subordinates is very admirable. In the face of the sacrifice of every soldier, ** is very heartbroken;But if you win the battle, you don't hesitate to praise it. Zhang Aiping has a deep understanding of these on the Long March. Therefore, in later days, Zhang Aiping always asked herself to take *** as an example and get along with others.
In June 1936, Zhang Aiping was ordered to go to the Red Army University and participate in a study Xi. During this period, ** specially came to the Red Army University and visited the generals who studied Xi here.
**In 1937, Zhang Aiping was appointed as a faculty member of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Later, Zhang Aiping went to the Soviet Union for treatment and failed to continue to fight under the direct command of ***, but he had a deep revolutionary feeling for ***.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhang Aiping successively held many positions and made many achievements in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.
During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, ** had repeatedly proposed to let Zhang Aiping go to North Korea, but ** was "detained", because ** felt that East China could not do without Zhang Aiping.
In March 1955, Zhang Aiping ushered in the opportunity to work directly with the old chief again: at the suggestion of ***, Zhang Aiping was appointed deputy chief of the general staff of the General Staff.
In the subsequent work, Zhang Aiping, with the strong support of the army, eliminated all kinds of difficult things, did a lot of fruitful work, and made important contributions to the reform and construction of the army.
Zhang Aiping got along with each other along the way during the inspection, and Zhang Aiping regarded Marshal *** as his most beloved old chief, and talked about him everything. Later, no matter when, as long as it is mentioned, Zhang Aiping will always be grateful. Because of this, when she was nostalgic for ***, Zhang Aiping created the poem mentioned at the beginning.
In fact, in addition to fighting bravely in the war and making great contributions to the motherland's national defense science and technology, Zhang Aiping is also a particularly talented artist. During his lifetime, he produced a large number of poems, photographs and calligraphy.
These works of Zhang Aiping, just like the character under the influence of ***, uphold the right and dispel the evil, stir up the turbidity and promote the purity, artistically record the important events and major activities of the party history and military history, and play a very positive role in carrying forward the revolutionary tradition, invigorating the morale of the army and cultivating moral sentiments, and the influence is very extensive.
**Before his death, he once made a summary of his life, especially mentioning his violent temper, he said: ".I have many shortcomings in my life, I love to scold people, I have scolded many wrong people, and I have offended many people, but I have never engaged in two ways with revolutionary comrades, and I have never engaged in that kind of conspiracy. In this regard, I can puff up my chest and shout a hundred times, and I have a clear conscience.
Regarding the matter of scolding, Zhang Aiping, who is a veteran subordinate of Mr. Peng for many years, does not think it is a mistake. He said".People always say that Mr. Peng scolds, I say that he is not scolding, he is strict!
Zhang Aiping's later years On July 5, 2003, Zhang Aiping died of illness in Beijing at the age of 93.
In her later years, Zhang Aiping often mentioned *** to the people around her, it can be seen that Zhang Aiping and *** have formed a sincere revolutionary friendship, but also deeply remember *** in their hearts. His words and deeds have always retained the excellent character of ***, no wonder some people say: ".Zhang Aiping is the second ***
