On this day in 1954, a prominent figure left us. Although he did not catch up with the honorary title, his funeral was more solemn than that of a marshal. The prime minister and Mr. Peng personally held the shackle for him, full of solemn scenes. **Leading, civil officials on the left, military generals on the right. On the left hand of the ruling team, there are senior cadres such as Peng Zhen and Chen Shutong, and on the right hand are marshals such as ***. The procession solemnly sent the hearse to Babao Mountain. There, ** said goodbye to him with tears, but fulfilled his wish to carry the coffin for the funeral.
He is one of the founders and outstanding leaders of the people's army's logistics work, and Comrade Yang Lisan, who is widely recognized as an expert in military finance. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became the first Minister of General Logistics, and concurrently served as the Minister of Food Industry of the People's Republic of China and a member of the Financial and Economic Committee.
During the Red Army's Long March, ** was unable to move due to illness, but Yang Lisan, then head of the General Military Station Department and director of the Custody Department of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, safely carried him out of the grass. However, this life-saving grace made *** unforgettable. After Yang Lisan's death, ** said with emotion: "We Communists are atheists, but not ruthlessists. It was Yang Lisan who carried me out of the ghost gate, and if I don't give him a ride now, the dead will be able to speak......Therefore, it has become inevitable to insist on carrying the coffin for Yang Lisan.
The departure of this great military strategist and logistics expert has left a moving history. His life's contributions, like a long march, will forever be engraved in our hearts.
