Xiao Hua: In 1974, Tiananmen Square followed *** for many years, and the reunion was full of emotion.
Through the mountains, fearless of difficulties. The sun is scorching, and the rain is like silver ......The enemy threw away his armor and abandoned his armor, and our army pursued the victory. Diverting the tiger from the mountain and raiding Jinsha, the military strategy of ** is unmatched.
Do you feel empowered by this song?When it comes to Admiral Xiao Hua, some people may not be familiar with it, but his widely sung song has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Chinese people since November 1964.
And this talented composer of the song is none other than Admiral Xiao Hua!Does that surprise you?In fact, although General Xiao Hua did not have a high degree of education, his revolutionary experience and the party's training made him a man who was both civil and military"Confucius carries a knife on his shoulder"style.
** once said: "You are the messengers who spread the good news of the victory of the Chinese revolution. "In 1949, the war of liberation was progressing rapidly, and it was foreseen that this war was about to usher in a new victory.
On March 25, ** came to Beiping and lived in Shuangqing Villa in Xiangshan.
On March 28, the Northeast Field Army was renamed the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Ten. II.X.
III.X. 4. 15th Corps. Xiao Hua was appointed political commissar of the 13th Corps to assist Commander Cheng Zihua.
At this time, Xiao Hua was at the Tianjin Special Forces Headquarters and received an order to go to Beiping, saying that the ** chief wanted to meet with him. On March 31, in Xiangshan, Beiping, leaders such as Ren Bishi, Lin Boqu, and Dong Biwu met with cadres above the division level of the Fourth Field Army.
After the end of the Long March in October 1935, Xiao Hua never saw these leaders who brought him into the big stage of the Chinese revolution. After 14 years, seeing them again, Xiao Hua was very excited.
** In a Xiangtan accent, he said: "We have defeated the main military forces and elite divisions of the Kuomintang reactionaries, and we are about to go south, and we must win the victory of the whole country!."
The atmosphere was warm and the applause continued. After the meeting, the leaders of **and** invited the cadres of Siye to dinner. When Xiao Hua toasted to ***, ** looked at him with a smile and said: "You are always changing, you are a commander for a while, a political commissar for a while, a moment in Shandong, and a moment in the Northeast, what a big future!."
** The praise of Xiao Hua, like his own children, shows his consistent appreciation of Xiao Hua.
As early as 1929, when I first met Xiao Hua in Xingguo County, Xiao Hua, who was only 13 years old, stood in the audience, and he was the youngest and youngest of the 5,000 listeners.
**Explaining revolutionary theory on stage, Xiao Hua listened attentively in the audience, and applauded warmly when he was excited, looking very happy. A few days later, he personally drafted the "Xingguo Land Law" and held a training class for agrarian revolutionary cadres with more than 40 people in Xingguo County to train the backbone of the agrarian revolution.
Xiao Hua became the youngest student in this training class. Although Xiao Hua was only 13 years old at the time, in December of that year, he was appointed secretary of the Youth League and County Party Committee of Xingguo County.
During this period, Xiao Hua had a lot of contact with *** and listened to many revolutionary truths, which further enhanced his class consciousness and revolutionary consciousness. At the same time, Xiao Hua also left a deep impression on ***.
Xiao Hua and Wang Xinlan's early group photo made Yan'an's *** make a joke. He said that if Xiao Hua went to Japan by boat, he might be robbed of his girlfriend Wang Xinlan by a Japanese girl.
Although this is just a joke, *** cares about Xiao Hua very much. He sent a telegram to the front line, hoping to get Wang Xinlan to Xiao Hua's side so that they could get married smoothly.
In order to let Wang Xinlan know the news, ** asked the staff to send the telegram to Xiao Hua to Wang Xinlan's residence. Soon after, Xiao Hua sent a reply telegram from the front line: "Chairman, I have received your call and understand that everything is in the interests of the nation and the party.
Personal matters, no worries about you. "* After receiving the callback, I explained to the staff again that I wanted to send the telegram to Wang Xinlan.
On November 21, 1939, under the careful arrangement of Luo Rongheng, Xiao Hua and Wang Xinlan tied the knot in everyone's blessings. From ***'s preference for Xiao Hua, we can see Xiao Hua's outstanding talent.
Both in military and political terms, he has great potential, as *** said. **'s praise made *** Ren Bishi, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing.
** also said that when he went to Shandong in 1942, everywhere he went, the people were full of praise for this "baby commander". **'s words sparked a burst of laughter again.
The next day, **'s secretary came to pick up Xiao Hua and said that *** and *** wanted to see him, and there was an important task for him to complete.
** smiled and said to Xiao Hua: "Xiao Hua, do you know?."You, like me, are from a peasant background. We're talking about it, and we want you to go out and see the outside world, would you like to?
Hearing the chairman's words, Xiao Hua asked excitedly: "Chairman, do you want to send me on a trip abroad?"In Xiao Hua's impression, during the Red Army, people called people who came back from the Soviet Union "people who have eaten foreign bread", so he asked like this.
However, ** and *** couldn't help but laugh after hearing Xiao Hua's words. ** Stop laughing and say: "It's not tourism, it's to let you lead a delegation to visit abroad, and you will be the head of the delegation."
** added: "In July this year, the International Youth Federation (YOUTH) will convene the second World Youth Festival in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, inviting us to send a youth delegation to the ......Considering that you were absent from the Long March and elected as a member of the International Youth Federation, it was decided that you should be the head of the delegation and lead the Chinese youth delegation to participate in the World Youth Festival.
This was the first friendly mission sent by the People's Republic of China at the turn of the old and new regimes. Xiao Hua looked at *** and *** and said gratefully: "Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, this task is important, I have no experience in this area, and I am worried about ......."”
Before Xiao Hua could finish his words, ** interrupted him and said, "What are you afraid of?"As the saying goes, 'once born, twice cooked', if you don't do it, you will never have experience.
When you wear a pair of rotten straw sandals and come to the Red Fourth Army to report for duty, will you fight?Now, aren't you also leading tens of thousands of soldiers?Xiao Hua replied with a smile: "Since *** and Vice Chairman Zhou have made a decision, I can only obey the order."
Got up from the couch and said as he walked: "At present, the outside world does not know much about the Chinese revolution, and the Kuomintang has also said a lot of bad things about us, portraying us as demons with green faces and fangs.
The purpose of your visit is to let the world know what the Chinese Communists are really like. This trip to Eastern Europe is a great responsibility for you. * added: "Your visit is of great significance at a time when the people's struggle against the Kuomintang reactionaries and Chiang Kai-shek is about to achieve a final victory.
You are the first large-scale goodwill mission to be sent abroad, so the President takes it very seriously. Xiao Hua said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of ** and work hard to complete this task!."
When Xiao Hua said goodbye to ***, he was given a special task, he wanted to become a messenger to spread the good news of the victory of the Chinese revolution. After getting the task, Xiao Hua immediately rushed back to Tianjin, handed over the work of the special forces, and said goodbye to *** who was recuperating in Tianjin.
Considering that Xiao Hua's fourth child Xiao Lu had just been born, and Wang Xinlan was still in confinement, she offered to help take care of it, which made Xiao Hua very moved. On the train, Xiao Hua relieved the monotony of the journey and organized young people to perform a program, and everyone actively participated, and the atmosphere was very warm.
When Xiao Hua passed by Lake Baikal with his lover, he pointed to the blue waters outside the window and asked, "Do you know Su Wu?"Everyone replied in unison: "You know, isn't it the shepherd Su Wu?"
Then he asked again: "Then do you know that Su Wu is herding sheep?"Someone replied: "In the North Sea." Xiao Hua corrected and said: "This Baikal Lake in front of you is the North Sea where Su Wu shepherded sheep.
His words amazed everyone. On the afternoon of August 5, a delegation of Chinese youth arrived in Moscow. The next day, Xiao Hua told his motherland through Radio Moscow about everything the delegation had felt on the way to Europe.
When the delegation arrived in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, they were warmly welcomed by the youth. The welcoming crowd included not only Hungarian youths, but also young people from other countries who had arrived in advance, chanting slogans and throwing flowers at the Chinese delegation.
In a speech on World Youth Day, Xiao Hua conveyed to the world the confidence and determination of the Chinese people to build a socialist motherland, as well as the desire of Chinese youth to strengthen friendship, enhance understanding and jointly build a better life with young people from all over the world.
At the end of the speech, the audience burst into applause and cheers. Seeing this scene, the comrades of the delegation were so excited that they shed tears. Xiao Hua's speech showed the world the vigor of a new regime, just as *** said, "China's young people are like the sun at ** o'clock in the morning, full of vitality".
At a press conference, a reporter asked Xiao Hua in a very blunt Chinese dialect: "May I ask the head of Xiao Hua, will Chinese young people talk about falling in love?"You must have a ...... to find a loverBrokers?
When talking about "agent", the reporter rolled his eyes and thought for a long time, trying to express the meaning accurately. However, the reporter's words caused a burst of laughter.
Xiao Hua smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, the 'agent' you say may refer to our 'matchmaker'." The reporter nodded in agreement: "That's right, matchmaker."
Xiao Hua said: "In feudal old China, the order of parents and the words of matchmaking were the concept of marriage, but during the Red Army, we already advocated free love. Although thousands of years of Xi are difficult to **, with the progress of the times, I believe that this concept will slowly change, and young people will eventually become their own masters.
After that, Xiao Hua visited the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, such as Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Albania. On October 1, 1949, he spent the happiest day of his life in Romania.
That day, he heard the news of the founding of the People's Republic of China on the radio and had a long conversation with his colleagues in the hotel. In the afternoon of the next day, at the welcome reception held for him by the Romanian Communist Youth League, everyone raised a glass to celebrate the birth of New China.
When the reporter asked Xiao Hua how he felt about this moment, he replied without hesitation: "History has made the right choice for China!"When he said this, Xiao Hua's mood was very excited, and he, like the people of the whole country, was full of love and pride for the motherland.
Although he was in a foreign land, his heart was always closely connected to his homeland. Perhaps at this moment, his soul is standing on the tower of Tiananmen Square, staring at the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind, and his heart is full of deep attachment to the motherland.
In late October 1949, Xiao Hua returned to his homeland immediately after completing his mission to visit abroad. In March 1950, he was transferred to the position of political commissar of the Air Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
In June of the same year, he was transferred to the post of deputy director of the General Political Department. In November 1954, Xiao Hua concurrently served as the first vice president of the School of Political Science. On September 27, 1955, at the award ceremony held in Huairentang, ** personally awarded Xiao Hua the rank of general, Xiao Hua was just 39 years old this year, a very young general.
In 1955, he was awarded the Medal of Honor to Xiao Hua and other generals. In 1964, the 30th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March, the whole army was preparing to hold commemorative activities. Xiao Hua, director of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, received a request for him to explain the story of the Long March.
As a participant and survivor of the 25,000-mile Long March, he deeply felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to write a work that depicted and praised the Long March. So, in September 1964, Xiao Hua began his creative career.
During those sleepless nights, he was completely immersed in his memories, and the hardships and fierce battles on the way of the Long March echoed in his mind. Whenever he thought of his comrades-in-arms who died beside him, he would burst into tears, and tears would wet the words he had just written.
Over the next two months, Xiao Hua completed the composition of the Long March Songs. This work contains 10 parts: "Farewell", "Line", "Zunyi Conference Shines", "Four Crossings of Chishui and Surprise", "Flying Over the Dadu River", "Crossing the Snow Mountain and Meadow", "To Wuqi Town", "Wishing Victory", "Annunciation" and "General Division".
1.Xiao Hua has a soft spot for the phrase "the revolutionary ideal is higher than the sky" in the "Long March Songs", and spoke highly of his experience and contribution at the 6,000-person meeting in the Great Hall of the People.
2.In September 1974, the National Day of the People's Republic of China was about to usher in the 25th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** sent a special person to send the list of people attending the Tiananmen National Day ceremony to Changsha, but *** did not see the person in his heart on the list.
3."Long March Songs" caused a sensation across the country after the performance, among which "the revolutionary ideal is higher than the sky" is Xiao Hua's favorite sentence. ** At the meeting in the Great Hall of the People, he spoke highly of his experience and contributions, and said that he would sing the "Long March Songs".

I looked carefully at the list, but didn't seem to see the person in his heart.
This time, the Chair did not make any comments, much to the confusion of those present. To be sure, however, the Chair still had doubts about the list. As to why the Chairman did not agree with the list, no one knows.
They racked their brains and finally made changes to the list, thinking it was perfect, and closed it. On 29 September, for the third time, staff members came to the Chairman's residence with the list and carefully handed it to the Chair.
The chairman looked at it for a long time, shook his head, picked up the pen and personally added the names of Xiao Hua and Liu Zhijian. On September 30, Xiao Hua attended the National Day reception in the Great Hall of the People.
**After the prime minister saw Xiao Hua, he walked over, held Xiao Hua's hand tightly, and didn't say a word, just looked at Xiao Hua quietly. When Xiao Hua saw the prime minister, his heart was very excited, and the prime minister's eyes also showed joy and an indescribable emotion.
It's that kind of emotion that only the two of them can experience. On October 1, 1974, the National Day, Xiao Hua wore a military uniform, stood on the tower of Tiananmen Square, his eyes fell on the chairman, and he secretly thought to himself: "It's good to see the chairman!."
* wanted to see Xiao Hua and his wife, Xiao Hua and his wife hurriedly changed into familiar military uniforms and went to **'s home. Mr. Zhu had already prepared tea and waited for them, and when he saw them, he smiled and asked them to sit down.
* Looks happy and smiles and says, "It's good to come, it's good to come!".After chatting for a while, ** took them to his study, pointed to the room full of books and said to Xiao Hua: "I know you like to read, so take these books away."
Xiao Hua took a photo with **, **'s words made Xiao Hua excited, he shook his head vigorously, and a few tears slipped down. ** Said helplessly: "Pull it away, I'm too old to use it."
From the words of **, Wang Xinlan heard a different kind of emotion and couldn't help choking. After returning to Jingxi Hotel, Xiao Hua often received visits from his old comrades-in-arms and old subordinates, which made his life lively.
When Yang Dezhi saw Xiao Hua, the two old comrades-in-arms looked at each other silently, sat quietly, and drank tea. When the teacup was empty, they refilled the tea and continued to drink it until they could no longer brew the taste of tea, and Yang Dezhi left.
Soon after, Xiao Hua's family moved to a small building in Shuaifu Garden. As time passed, Xiao Hua's mood gradually improved, and his face reappeared with radiance.
In April 1977, Xiao Hua was appointed as the first political commissar of the Lanzhou Military Region and concurrently served as the secretary of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee. In the Great Northwest Region, Xiao Hua spent many years.
During this time, Xiao Hua has been diligent, paying his wisdom and sweat for the economic development and social stability of Gansu Province, leaving indelible achievements.
In June 1983, Xiao Hua was elected vice chairman of the Sixth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In order to commemorate this moment, Xiao Hua wrote a poem that inspired himself: I fought in the south and the north, and went through ups and downs.
I dedicated my youth to the liberation of the nation, and in the prime of life I devoted myself to the prosperity and development of the motherland. Although I am old, I am still full of energy, determined to fight the wind and waves in the journey of the four modernizations, and my afterglow will also illuminate the future, like the sunshine of the sky!
On August 12, 1985, Xiao Hua, the youngest founding general, ended his life journey. This year, Xiao Hua was 69 years old.
With his outstanding talent and unremitting efforts, Xiao Hua has become a model for the younger generation. Against the backdrop of the brand-new era, we especially need people like him, who are both talented and morally noble, and who have both ability and political integrity to contribute their strength to the construction of our great motherland!
