In February 1997, at the age of 93, the great man passed away, and the whole country was immersed in grief.
At that time, ** was deeply saddened and wrote an eight-character elegy, highly appraising and deeply mourning ***'s life.
**It is an old subordinate who is 4 years younger than ***, born in 1908.
Despite being younger than ***, he is his old subordinate.
Perhaps this makes many people feel incredible, because *** is the political commissar of Liu Deng's army, and *** is from Shanxi, how did he become ***'s old subordinate?During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, and at the invitation of Yan Xishan, a new army was founded in Shanxi.
This unit later developed into the Decisive Death Column, which was later incorporated into Liu Deng's army and became an armed force controlled by the Communists.
Chen Geng, commander of the Taiyue Military Region, served as political commissar.
Under the leadership of ***, ** led the decisive column to participate in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments and was rewarded by ***.
** Praise this young unit for performing well and completing the tasks assigned by the leadership.
In practical work, I deeply appreciate the superb leadership art.
In 1943, the Taihang Branch held a meeting of senior cadres, and pointed out the lack of understanding of the laws of the base areas in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.
This infuriated *** he called *** a petty-bourgeois fanatic.
There was a heated debate at the meeting, and finally *** made a summary, he said to ***: "This conclusion is compromised, the purpose is not to argue anymore, what do you think?"."*Expresses agreement with ***'s conclusions.
Stop arguing and look forward in unity, that's what makes *** great.
Many years later, during the southern tour, I emphasized that it was a pioneering initiative of mine not to engage in arguments.
Endless arguments waste a lot of time, and the more you argue, the more complicated they become, and in the end, nothing will come to fruition.
This is *** extraordinary wisdom.
If we continue to argue, there will be no subsequent reform and opening up, and there will be no development centered on economic construction.
During the Liberation War, the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region was established, and ** served as the political commissar of the military region, while *** was the deputy political commissar.
At the same time, he is also the secretary of the Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu and Henan Bureau, and *** is the deputy secretary.
**Became the right-hand man of ***.
**He *** led the main force of Liu Deng's army to leap thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain, while *** stayed in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region as the secretary.
**Served as the commander of the North China Military Region, and concurrently served as the political commissar and the first secretary of the North China Bureau.
**Later, he served as the first Minister of Finance of the People's Republic of China, and then took over this position by ***, and the two then served as *** vice premiers for a long time.
Among the eight elders of the party, ** serves as the director of the advisory committee, ** is the deputy director, and is always the right-hand man of ***.
**Very respectful and loving.
At the time of his death, he evaluated *** with the eight words "one person through the ages, one person through the ages".
These eight words succinctly express the outstanding status of *** and highlight his outstanding achievements.
**This elegiac couplet is also very profound, and the upper and lower couplets are reversed, which also contains extraordinary connotations.
