Among the more than 1,000 founding generals, only one was awarded the title of "Temporary Major General". This unusual hero is named Duan Suquan, and his rank of major general is like **, in fact, with his outstanding qualifications and military exploits, he is enough to deserve the rank of lieutenant general. At the age of 18, he became the political commissar of the Qiandong Independent Division of the Red Army, and his life was full of legends.
Duan Suquan's maverick behavior is reflected in the evaluation of Ren Bishi, one of the five secretaries: "This person has methods, can endure hardships, can withstand setbacks, has resilience, and is loyal to the cause. ”
His starting point is comparable to that of "Doll Commander" Xiao Hua, however, his fate is far less fortunate than Xiao Hua. A battle that returned from a heavy injury became a watershed in Duan Suquan's life. On November 26, 1933, the Qiandong Independent Division attacked Yimei Town, Xiushan County, the division commander Wang Guangguang died, and Duan Suquan, who was the political commissar of the division, was also seriously wounded. The entire independent division was besieged by 10 regiments of the enemy, and the heavy losses made Duan Suquan's life trajectory take a huge turn.
Before his injuries healed, Duan Suquan bid farewell to his hometown and asked around for news of the Red Army. However, he has not been able to obtain exact information. So, he disguised himself as a beggar and returned to his hometown in Chaling County, Hunan, hiding his merits and fame, and the Kuomintang authorities were unaware of him.
In order to cover his identity, Duan Suquan obeyed his father's arrangement, married in his hometown, and went to the township office to do miscellaneous labor, living an ordinary life. Beneath the surface, however, he inquired about the whereabouts of the Red Army. It was not until September 1937, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, that he learned that the Red Army was in northern Shaanxi. Despite the dissuasion of his family, he was determined to look for traces of the Red Army.
Duan Suquan embarked on a search journey alone, and finally found the office of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan. When he stood in front of the old leader Ren Bishi again, it was unbelievable that he was still alive. The news of Duan Suquan's death has been reported, and even a memorial service has been held for him.
Under Ren Bishi's arrangement, Duan Suquan entered the Anti-Japanese University Xi and devoted himself to anti-Japanese work after graduation. He served as the political commissar of the Pingbei Military Region, and in the War of Liberation, he also served as the commander of the Jirecha Military Region and the commander of the 8th Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army.
However, although Duan Suquan's qualifications and military exploits were sufficient to confer the rank of lieutenant general, because he had left the team due to injury, his qualifications were blank for several years, which became a "historical problem". When the title was conferred in 1955, Duan Suquan was only awarded to major general, and it was also "provisional".
In this regard, Duan Suquan accepted it calmly. Later, he held positions such as political commissar at the Military Academy. In his later years, he also actively searched for the life-saving benefactor of the year, and finally found the old man with the help of the local **, and sent money many times to improve the life of the old man.
On September 28, 1993, Duan Suquan died of cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 77. He died without a military uniform, but in civilian clothes. Ren Bishi's wife Chen Zhiying attended the memorial service and sighed that "he has suffered a lot of grievances in his life."
Duan Suquan's life is full of ups and downs and legends. His bravery, tenacity, and devotion to the cause constituted the great achievements of a hero of the Red Army. Duan Suquan's story is like a tenacious star, shining in the red sky.
Duan Suquan, the founding general of the People's Republic of China who was "temporarily awarded a major general", has a legendary life that is deeply admired. His experience is not only a microcosm of China's revolutionary history, but also a touching story of an ordinary person who struggled forward in troubled times and eventually became a hero.
First of all, Duan Suquan's tenacity is impressive. When he was 18 years old as the political commissar of the Qiandong Independent Division of the Red Army, in the face of the enemy's siege ten times his size, he held his position, even if the division commander died and he was seriously wounded, he did not give in. The fight became a watershed moment in his life, and his tenacity allowed him to overcome his injuries and get back into the fight. In the pursuit of the Red Army, he overcame all kinds of difficulties and showed amazing perseverance.
Secondly, Duan Suquan's loyalty and love for his career are also the highlights of his life. Whether he held important positions in the Red Army or later held various important positions in the War of Liberation, he showed great enthusiasm for the communist cause. Even before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he lived an ordinary life in his hometown, but he still cared about the Red Army, and resolutely left home to find his comrades at every opportunity. This dedication and loyalty to the cause is touching.
However, Duan Suquan's experience is also deeply embarrassing. His rank became a "matter of history" due to an injury and his departure from the team, and in 1955 he was awarded only the title of "Provisional Major General". This makes people wonder how many heroes like Duan Suquan in history have been marginalized for various reasons, and whether this situation can be changed for the better
Finally, Duan Suquan's behavior in his later years was even more touching. He has not forgotten his original intention, has been looking for the life-saving benefactor of the year, and repaid the saving grace with practical actions. This kind of care and gratitude for humanity shows his noble character.
Overall, Duan Suquan's story is a shining star in the history of the Chinese revolution. His tenacity, loyalty, and relentless pursuit are all vivid interpretations of heroic qualities. Today, we can also draw courage and loyalty to the cause from Duan Suquan's story, and contribute to the realization of a better society.
