Topic: The Legend of Babaoshan CemeteryThe Babaoshan Cemetery carries the tombs of countless predecessors of our Party and people who have made outstanding contributions to the country, including three special graves.
Who is the owner of these graves?What makes them special?Let's uncover the story of the Babaoshan cemetery together.
First, let's talk about Cemetery 81.
Since ancient times, Chinese have believed in feng shui, and the feng shui of cemeteries was particularly valued in previous feudal dynasties.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Babaoshan cemetery in Beijing was the resting place of many princes and nobles.
However, it was the Kuomintang in 1946 that first identified Babaoshan as a martyr's cemetery to commemorate the martyrs who died in the war.
Therefore, Babaoshan attracted the attention of the Kuomintang and became a symbol of martyrs and revolutionary martyrs.
Subsequently, those buried in Babaoshan were all people who had made great contributions to the country and the revolutionary cause.
One of the most iconic is Cemetery No. 81, which is owned by General He.
General He Lao is an important figure within our party.
** He was terminally ill at the time of his death, but insisted on saying goodbye in person.
The two met for the first time in Yan'an, and although they had not known each other for a long time, the chairman trusted General He very much.
At that time, there were only three people in the chairman's mind, and General He was one of them.
The chairman was full of confidence in his ability, and before the War of Resistance Against Japan, General He's ability was undoubtedly revealed.
The chairman once excitedly exclaimed: "Our party has one more fierce general!""General He's most glorious moment was the War of Resistance Against Japan, he participated in many important battles, and even led reinforcements to participate in the Kuomintang battles.
Although among the top ten marshals at that time, General He Lao appeared low-key, the chairman praised him as "a good supporting role for our party."
Mr. He: Mr. He, the logistics support general on the liberation battlefield, is not frequent on the liberation battlefield, which is well known.
However, many battles in the War of Liberation were inseparable from Mr. He's contributions.
In war, logistics support is very important, it can be said to be the lifeblood of the army, and Mr. He is the key person who grasps this lifeline.
At that time, when the chairman proposed to let Mr. He serve as the general to manage logistics, he agreed without hesitation, and said bluntly: "If you command, I will go!."”。
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. He was assigned to the sports department as a marshal, but he only said one sentence after learning about it: "What does the chairman command?"After learning of the chairman's intentions, Mr. He quickly went to work the next day.
It can be seen that Mr. He is absolutely unambiguous about the chairman's order.
After Mr. He's death, due to special reasons, it was not until 1975 that he was officially buried in the Babaoshan cemetery.
When people step into the Babaoshan cemetery, they may be attracted by Cemetery 81, but in fact, it is another figure who is most worshipped - the talented woman Lin Huiyin.
Talented woman Lin Huiyin: The persevering architect in the Babaoshan cemetery, the most worshiped is the famous talented woman Lin Huiyin in modern times.
People may be familiar with her emotional entanglements, but in reality, they are only a small part of her life.
Measuring a woman purely by emotion is obviously too one-sided, and there are many wonderful parts of her life.
The construction of Babaoshan was inseparable from Lin Huiyin's wisdom, and even though she was seriously ill at that time, she still persevered to complete the design of the Babaoshan cemetery.
The war caused her to suffer from severe stomach problems, but it was not the last straw that broke her back.
Subsequently, she developed a severe lung disease, which eventually progressed to tuberculosis.
Even so, she still insists on working in the construction industry and does her best to contribute to the cause of ancient architecture in China.
At that time, Lin Hui was questioned by many people because of her return to China, because China was in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression at that time, and people wondered why she returned to China at this time, and how could she resist the Japanese?
In this regard, Lin Huiyin smiled indifferently and said: "The road ahead is in the Yangtze River!.""The Lin family is full of loyalty, and Lin Huiyin's father was a famous patriotic politician, so he was assassinated by the Japanese.
Her three uncles all died in the Guangzhou Uprising, but they chose to sacrifice themselves for the motherland in the prime of life.
Lin Huiyin's nine younger brothers died in the War of Resistance Against Japan, including her third brother, who died heroically at the age of 20, and was the first generation of Chinese air force pilots.
Born in such a family, Lin Huiyin has always put national righteousness in the first place.
Her contribution to ancient Chinese architecture is unquestionable.
The Babaoshan cemetery is her resting place, and people often come to offer flowers, which are the traces left by people from all walks of life when they worship.
In Babaoshan Cemetery, there is a cemetery that stands out because there is no inscription on it.
Exactly who is buried, there are different opinions, and no one can say a definite answer.
Maybe the name is not well known, but he once did one important thing, and that was to publicly criticize the chairman.
What's going on here?
Back then, Yan Youwen had been lurking under Fu Zuoyi, and was later appreciated by Fu Zuoyi for his excellent writing.
So, Fu Zuoyi gave him the difficult task of writing articles in the newspapers to belittle the chairman and our party in order to raise the morale of the Kuomintang officers.
When the chairman learned about this, he smiled and said to ***: "Let him write, the harder he writes, the better!."Sure enough, Fu Zuoyi and Chiang Kai-shek both applauded loudly when they saw this article.
Therefore, Yan Youwen's status by Fu Zuoyi's side has been improved.
But this was only part of his latent work, and his greatest contribution to our party was the peaceful liberation of Peking that year.
With his position by Fu Zuoyi's side, Yan Youwen has been carrying out ideological work for Fu Zuoyi when Beiping was besieged by our party and groups.
When he saw that it was no longer possible to break through, Fu Zuoyi agreed to Yan Youwen's suggestion and held peace talks with our party.
It can be said that the peaceful liberation of Peking is also inseparable from Yan Youwen's efforts.
However, due to Yan Youwen's special status, his deeds needed to be kept strictly secret, so this nameless cemetery came into being.
Epilogue. Babaoshan Cemetery is not only a place to bury heroes, but also an affirmation of heroic deeds.
It has witnessed China's ups and downs over the years, and has also witnessed a brand-new China.
A few strokes in history cannot describe the heroic deeds of our predecessors, but we should always remember them, and it is precisely because of their dedication that today's China is here.
