When New China was founded, ** advocated the military rank system, but twice declined the highest military rank. Why is it so insistent?
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to meet the needs of the development of the times and army building, our team decided to implement the military rank system, and in 1955, the first title was awarded. However, during the special period, the military rank system was abolished, which led to a series of problems, including diplomatic inconvenience. After many studies, it was proposed that the military rank system must be carried out. However, it is puzzling that in 1988, at a time of conferment, ** refused the rank of general of the first class, which gave rise to speculation.
**'s revolutionary career: selfless dedication to the country and indifferent to fame and fortune.
**, born in Guang'an County, Sichuan Province in 1904, formerly known as Deng Xiansheng. During the period of semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, his family was in difficulty, but his mother still supported him in his studies, hoping that he could succeed and support the Deng family in the future. Under difficult conditions, ** went to France to study in a work-study preparatory class, but had to terminate his studies because he could not afford the tuition. In France, he learned revolutionary ideas and became a staunch communist fighter, fighting for the independence and liberation of the country.
The initial period of New China: Outstanding contribution in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he went deep behind enemy lines in North China, created an anti-Japanese base area, and participated in and commanded the famous Battle of the Hundred Regiments. In the War of Liberation, he led the work in North China and laid the foundation for the final victory of the Anti-Japanese War. During the War of Liberation, he also participated in and commanded three major battles such as the Huaihai Campaign, and achieved a decisive victory.
**Rejection of the highest rank: a deliberate decision.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was ordered to march into the southwest, liberate the southwestern provinces, and make great contributions to the construction of the southwest. However, in 1955, the rank system was abolished, causing inconvenience within the army. With the increase of foreign exchanges, the importance of the military rank system has become prominent again. After years of discussion and preparation, in 1983, it was decided to introduce a new system of military ranks. However, when the title was conferred in 1988, ** once again refused the highest military rank, showing that he was thoughtful and adhered to the principle of indifference to fame and fortune.
The implementation of the new military rank system: **Adhere to the spirit of indifference to fame and fortune.
Beginning in 1983, our army under the leadership of ** made detailed preparations for the implementation of a new rank system. In the process of formulating the new military rank system, ** listened to the opinions of many parties, and finally decided to establish the highest military rank to the general. However, at the time of evaluation, ** again refused the rank of general of the first class, on the grounds that he was not directly involved in the war as a civilian officer and was not suitable for the award. This refusal exemplifies the deliberate and selfless dedication of *** who pursues the good of the country rather than personal honor.
The re-abolition of the military rank system: the renunciation of personal honor for the good of the country.
Although the new rank system was implemented in 1988, due to some shortcomings, especially the command problems in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, it once again caused a reflection on the rank system. In 1994, the rank of general was abolished in our newly drafted regulations on the ranks of officers. This decision fully reflects the great importance attached to the interests of the country, and the willingness of the leaders of our country to give up their personal honor for the sake of the country's cause.
Conclusion: **'s persistence and selfless dedication.
**As a revolutionary of the older generation, he has made indelible contributions to the establishment and construction and development of China. He refused the highest military rank twice, showing his selfless dedication to the country and indifferent to fame and fortune. This spirit is worth remembering and learning from forever Xi, and it also inspires us on how to make the right choice in the face of personal honor and national interests.
**'s two rejections of the highest military rank not only reflect his noble character of personal indifference to fame and fortune, but also highlight a leader's adherence to national interests and deep awareness of leadership responsibility. This spirit of selfless dedication still has far-reaching inspiration and value in today's society.
First of all, the indifferent attitude of fame and fortune displayed when refusing military rank has an important impact on the understanding of the course of the Chinese revolution and the belief in national construction. He always put personal honor before the interests of the country, and was unwilling to show his status with a senior military rank, but paid more attention to making substantive contributions to the long-term interests of the country and the people. This attitude is worth learning Xi from modern leaders and social elites, reminding us to always maintain a clear understanding of the overall situation of the country and not be confused by short-term personal honors.
Secondly, the refusal of military rank reflects his rational thinking about the military and his support for the reform of the military's civilian personnel. He believed that although he was the chairman of the Military Commission, he was not directly involved in the war and was a civilian official, so he was not suitable to be awarded a senior military rank. This kind of rational thinking about the internal structure of the armed forces is conducive to maintaining the professionalism and efficiency of the armed forces, and at the same time, it also provides a useful reference for the later reform of civilian personnel in the armed forces. This still has an important enlightenment effect on the construction and optimization of today's first-class system.
In addition, the two rejections of the highest military rank also solved the embarrassing problem in the diplomatic field to a certain extent. In international affairs, military rank is often a symbol of strength and leadership level. At that time, due to the abolition of the military rank system, China could not clarify the rank of military representatives in diplomatic occasions, which brought some troubles to the country's diplomatic image. This issue was later resolved by the reintroduction of the rank system, which allowed China to more clearly demonstrate its military strength and leadership in international affairs.
In general, the experience of rejecting the highest military rank is not only a witness to history, but also a profound enlightenment to future generations. Between personal pursuits and national interests, leaders should always insist on putting the country first, and put personal honor on the back burner. This spirit of selfless dedication to fame and fortune and striving for the interests of the country and the people will always inspire us to strive for the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people.
