In the era when our army conferred titles, the Kuomintang uprising generals Chen Mingren, Tao Zhiyue, Dong Qiwu and others were all awarded military ranks, and some even became among the generals. However, one of the characters is different, and that is Fu Zuoyi. Although he had a far-reaching influence and great contribution in the War of Liberation, he was not awarded the rank of military. How so?
One of the main reasons was that Fu Zuoyi had already left the army at that time to serve as the Minister of Water Resources, so he did not need to participate in the award ceremony. ** He considered awarding Fu Zuoyi the rank of general on the same basis as other generals, but he refused, saying that it was a grievance for Fu Zuoyi. **even let *** personally explain this decision to Fu Zuo**.
According to Fu Zuoyi's daughter's recollection, Fu Zuoyi's administrative treatment is equivalent to the level of vice premier, and even if he is awarded the rank of general, his status is only equivalent to the fifth level**.
However, why did Fu Zuoyi fail to obtain the rank of marshal or general?There are many reasons for this, one of which is the number of people. Also treated at the same level as Fu Zuoyi were Cheng Qian, Long Yun, Zhang Zhizhong, and other Kuomintang uprising generals, who made great contributions to the cause of liberation and were not inferior to Fu Zuoyi. After the establishment of the National Defense Council in 1954, these four generals were included in addition to the ten marshals, demonstrating their importance in the status of the country.
There are clear criteria for awarding the rank of marshal, and it is necessary to be an important founder of the people's army and revolutionary base areas, but Fu Zuoyi and others do not meet this standard. Conferring the rank of marshal on them could cause discontent among millions of soldiers. Similarly, the awarding of the rank of general faces a similar problem.
Even if the rank of general is awarded, it seems to be a little "wronged" for a person with a prominent position like Fu Zuoyi, so awarding the title has become a difficult problem. Fu Zuoyi himself also accepted this decision calmly, believing that as an uprising general, he was satisfied with being able to serve as the Minister of Water Resources, and his military rank was not important to him.
Fu Zuoyi played an important role in the War of Liberation, but ultimately did not receive a military rank. This is a history that is regrettable, and it reflects the complex political and status considerations of the time.
As an important figure during the Liberation War, the historical fact that Fu Zuoyi did not receive a military rank has aroused people's thinking about the relationship between merit and status, honor and actual contribution. This situation led me to think deeply about the values and political trade-offs behind history.
First of all, Fu Zuoyi's failure to obtain a military rank may have been the result of political power and status considerations at the time. Although he played an important role in the Liberation War, the political background and the balance of power at the time may have been one of the main reasons why he did not receive the rank. This power struggle has had an impact on many of history's most decorated figures, sometimes beyond their actual contributions.
Second, the example of Fu Zuoyi not receiving a military rank reflects the disconnect between honor and actual contribution. In today's society, honors and status are often given specific labels and awards, but this is not always matched by the true contribution of the individual. This situation suggests that when evaluating a person's achievements, more attention should be paid to their actual contribution and impact, rather than just the accolades they have received.
In addition, Fu Zuoyi's failure to obtain a military rank also reminds us of the fairness and objectivity of historical evaluation. History is often written by the victors, so the contributions of those who fought wars without receiving the honors they received can often be overlooked or minimized. This requires us to examine the way we evaluate history, and to look more objectively and fairly at those figures who have not received due recognition on the stage of history.
Fu Zuoyi's example also provokes reflections on honor and personal values. He himself did not seem particularly concerned about not receiving the rank, as he felt that being the Minister of Water was enough to satisfy him. This ease and indifference reflects an intrinsic understanding of personal values and accomplishments, emphasizing that honor is not the only manifestation of achievement.
In general, the historical fact that Fu Zuoyi did not receive a military rank reminds us to examine the relationship between honor and actual contribution, as well as the objectivity of historical evaluation. This reflection helps us to understand history more comprehensively, to respect individual contributions, and to treat honor and practical value more objectively and fairly in today's society.
