When Zhang Aiping heard that there was an "important matter", she immediately waved her hand to indicate that she was not there, making people say that she was not there. The secretary looked at her hesitantly, and when she didn't say anything more, he nodded in understanding. In 1910, Ji Pengfei was born in Yuncheng, Shanxi.
His family was fine as a child, but as his family's situation deteriorated, he dropped out of school after completing junior high school. Later, he accidentally entered the military medical training course at the Xi'an Army Hospital, where his medical skills were significantly improved due to his hard work.
After graduation, Ji Pengfei became a military doctor in the 26th Route Army of the National Army. In 1930, Chiang Kai-shek's victory in the battle between Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan led to the exclusion of Ji Pengfei's unit.
In this situation, the Communist Party Zhao Bosheng and Dong Zhentang led the soldiers of the 26th Route Army to launch the Ningdu Rebellion and joined the Red Army, thus embarking on the road of revolution. Ji Pengfei officially joined the Communist Party and was appointed Minister of Health of the Red Fifth Regiment in August of the same year.
Two years later, the famous Long March began, and Ji Pengfei, as an indispensable medical worker, participated in it. In January 1941, after the outbreak of the "Southern Anhui Incident", Ji Pengfei finally realized his wish and transformed from a red doctor to a commander and fighter.
In the Battle of Runan, he led the Seventh Column to successfully annihilate the **49th Division and captured hundreds of artillery pieces and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. They also captured more than 6,000 enemy troops and received congratulatory telegrams from ***.
Ji Pengfei led his troops to perform well in the Huaihai Campaign, the Battle of Crossing the River and other battles, and became a highly praised and outstanding general of our army. Just as he was about to continue to play a role on the battlefield, ** suddenly summoned him to Beijing.
Ji Pengfei thought he was about to receive an important task, but in fact he was appointed as the "general's ambassador". Ji Pengfei was not happy with his appointment as a diplomat, because his ambitions were not so.
Therefore, he did not go to Beijing immediately, but first went to Shanghai to find the old leader Su Yu and asked him to intercede for himself, hoping that ** would agree to him to stay in the army and fight for the revolutionary cause.
After meeting Su Yu, he expressed his thoughts: "Old leader, **let me be a diplomat, but you also know that this is not my ambition. I ask you to intercede with ** and hopefully make an accommodating arrangement.
After listening to Ji Pengfei's request, Su Yu thought for a moment and said: "I know your ambition is not here, but soldiers are not only able to play a role on the battlefield, we should be ready to serve the country at any time, no matter when and where, this is the real military spirit, do you understand?."
Su Yu is Ji Pengfei's old boss, and Ji Pengfei respects Su Yu very much, so Su Yu's words made him deeply understand, and said: "Old leader, I understand, don't worry." As a result, Ji Pengfei, the youngest of the 12 "general ambassadors," began a diplomatic career that lasted for more than 20 years.
Ji Pengfei is very conscientious and responsible at work, and he is also strict with himself in life. He focuses on a simple and convenient diet: breakfast is usually just a steamed bun, a plate of pickles, and an egg. Lunch is mostly noodles and vegetarian dishes, while dinner consists of just steamed buns, a bowl of gruel and two stir-fried vegetables.
Under the influence of Ji Pengfei's example, the whole family has developed a good habit of saving and not wasting. During the country's natural disasters, he encouraged his family to practice a "split meal system", where everyone had a limited amount of food to eat.
Although the children are growing up, the "split meal" system is very difficult for them, and they are often plagued by hunger at night. In order to ensure the healthy growth of the children, Ji Pengfei asked everyone to cook and ensure their own diet.
On weekends, he also took his children to the suburbs to grow food, and he became self-reliant and solved the problem of food shortage. In addition, he was disciplined and never sought special treatment or accepted gifts.
Once, Ji Pengfei had just returned from a visit to North Korea, and the staff wanted to send gifts from North Korea to his home, but he refused: "These gifts are not mine, they belong to the state, and they can be sent to ***."
Ji Pengfei is a general of noble character, but he is faced with the unforgivable crime committed by his son ***. In 2000, **because**and**crime**, this made Ji Pengfei feel ashamed and surprised.
Despite this, as a father, he still could not let go of his feelings for his son, so he asked the relevant authorities to give him leniency.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ji Pengfei and Zhang Aiping, as the generals of the New Fourth Army of the Communist Party of China, worked hard together for the cause of the country's liberation, and their tacit agreement brought many victories to the country. However, when Ji Pengfei went to ask for leniency, his old comrade-in-arms Zhang Aiping chose to avoid it.
Despite this, Ji Pengfei did not give up, and a few days later he went to visit in person, but was politely rejected by Zhang Aiping. This made Ji Pengfei gradually realize that as a father, he could not plead for his son's crimes.
After a long period of melancholy, he died on February 10, 2000, at the age of 91. After learning that his father had died because of him, ** finally realized his mistake and tried to make amends, and finally commuted the death sentence to life imprisonment.
The story of this tiger father and dog son is emotional, but we should distinguish between the contributions made by Ji Pengfei's predecessors to the country and the crimes of ***.
We respect the contributions made by Ji Pengfei's predecessors to the country, and at the same time, we must resolutely combat corruption, especially betrayal of the country, only in this way will our future be brighter.
