This issue of Shiyuan History Column will reveal the meaning of "Double Red One". The term derives from the history of the Red Army and is used to summarize the early resumes of a class of officers and soldiers, namely the "Red First Army of the Red First Army". There is no shortage of founding generals from the "double red one", such as Mr. Zhu, Lin Shuai, **, etc., all of whom are typical "double red one" cadres. **Although he did not participate in the conferment of titles after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he can also be counted as a "double red one", after all, he was the first political commissar of the Red First Army. Among the ten founding marshals, the members of the "Double Red One" occupy half of the quota, and it can be said that the generals who are known as the "Double Red One" are the majority.
The situation at other levels of the founding schools is much the same. For example, Su Yu, Huang Kecheng, Chen Geng, Tan Zheng, and ** among the generals have all served in the Red First Army, and the proportion of "Double Red One" members among the generals is also as high as fifty percent;Among the 57 generals, the "double red one" occupies 26 places, nearly half. During the Red Army, cadres were frequently transferred, for example, Huang Kecheng served longer in Peng's Third Army Corps, while Chen Geng was transferred many times between the Red Army and the Red Fourth Front Army. For many, the Double Red One is just an early stage in their careers. So, why are the "double red one" generals so prominent?
In short: they were the first to follow *** into the revolution and walked with the great men at least early in their careers.

In the assessment of military ranks in the early years of the statehood, the Red Army.
The influence of the armies of the Second and Fourth Fronts is still enormous, and they hold important positions in the army ** and in the major military districts, so it is not surprising that the generals of the Red Army occupy an important position in the army.
Not only that, many famous generals who died in previous wars also came from the Red First Army, such as Zuo Quan, the highest-ranking general of the Eighth Route Army who died during the Anti-Japanese War, and Zhu Rui, the highest-ranking general who died in the Liberation War, who were all "Red Army" in their early years.
