When looking back on the history of the People's Liberation Army's awarding of titles in 1955, it is difficult to hide the regret. The author, Lan Tai, profoundly pointed out that the number of female officers promoted to the rank of second lieutenant and above was too small in those years, which was emotional. However, this historical flaw is not caused by a single cause, but involves complex factors such as post-war reorganization and military modernization.
First of all, the author mentions that around 1952, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) mobilized a large number of female soldiers to transfer to work, many of whom were soldiers who joined the Red Army and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This massive reorganization led to the demobilization and demobilization of 100,000 female soldiers, who were dissatisfied. It was even more difficult to accept that in 1955, at the climax of the awards, a document was issued, "Decision on the Treatment and Retention of Women Staff", the wording of which made female soldiers unhappy. The maker of this decision was none other than the leader of the time, Marshal ***.
However, in the article, the author calls for politeness on this issue. She mentioned that the PLA has caused too many female soldiers due to historical reasons, and most of them are mainly concentrated in logistics, medical care, childcare and other fields. In order to quickly modernize the PLA, especially on the advice of Soviet advisers, none of the leaders at that time could refuse the need for "a large number of demobilized female servicemen." As a result, in 1955, only 4,666 female officers received the rank of warrant officer or higher, which is a relatively low number.
** The marshal temporarily "stepped aside" at the end of the 50s for well-known reasons, and the new leader revisited the fate of the female serviceman in the early 60s. In view of the dissatisfaction of many female soldiers with the transfer and awarding of titles in 1955, the leadership re-integrated a large number of women who had been forced to transfer in the early 60s, and promoted a number of female colonels, female colonels, female lieutenant colonels, female majors and female lieutenant officers.
During this period, 26 female officers of the rank of major and above were given the opportunity to be promoted again. These include 3 senior colonels, 7 female colonels and 16 female lieutenant colonels. Among them, Senior Colonel Mao Cheng, Senior Colonel Wang Changde, and Senior Colonel Xiao Yuehua all obtained military ranks that could not be obtained at that time in this opportunity. Moreover, this promotion is not unique, and more female colonels and female lieutenant colonels also received the corresponding military ranks in the early 60s of the 20th century.
This large-scale female officer promotion incident also triggered some light-hearted jokes, and some people joked that all this should be "thanked" to Mr. Peng. Of course, this is just a humorous statement. From an objective point of view, the phenomenon of "poor treatment" when the title was conferred in 1955 did exist, but the reason behind it was not the responsibility of a single leader, but the joint efforts of the entire PLA to realize the modernization of the armed forces.
Overall, this article sheds light on what happened to female officers at the time and the historical context through a historical review of the 1955 period of the awarding of the title. The author calls on readers to look at this period of history rationally, to understand the complex decisions of the time and the efforts of the entire army to pursue modernization. The promotion of female soldiers, although it went through twists and turns, was finally reasonably and justly compensated in the early 60s.
This article provides a profound and objective analysis of the history of the 1955 PLA awarding period, as well as the regrets and complexities experienced by female officers in the process. In the article, the author not only highlights the "poor treatment" of female soldiers at that time, but also points out that this phenomenon is not a single responsibility, but involves the joint efforts of the entire PLA to modernize the army.
First of all, the article reviews the history of the reorganization and demobilization of female soldiers in the People's Liberation Army before 1955, and reveals a series of decisions made by the PLA leadership in army building at that time. These decisions involved the readjustment and demobilization of a large number of female soldiers, leading to dissatisfaction among many women who joined the military. In particular, the "Decision on the Treatment and Retention of Female Staff" issued at the climax of the evaluation made the female soldiers feel unfair, and the maker of this decision was the leader of the time, Marshal ***.
Secondly, the article calls for hospitality when explaining the phenomenon of "poor treatment". The author points out that the PLA has a large number of female soldiers due to historical reasons, and most of them are concentrated in the fields of logistics, medical care, and childcare. In order to modernize the army, especially influenced by the recommendations of Soviet advisers, none of the then leadership could refuse the need for "a large number of demobilized female servicemen." This resulted in a relatively low number of female officers receiving the rank of warrant officer or higher in the 1955 awards.
In the second half of the article, the author details the re-examination of the fate of female servicemen by the new leadership in the early 60s, as well as the large-scale events of the promotion of female officers. During this period, 26 female officers above the rank of major were given the opportunity to be promoted again, including 3 senior colonels, 7 female colonels and 16 female lieutenant colonels. The promotion incident also sparked some humorous jokes, with some jokingly saying that all this should be "thanked" to Mr. Peng.
Overall, the article demonstrates the understanding and importance of female military personnel in the current situation through historical review. The article deeply analyzes the complexity of the decision-making at that time and emphasizes the overall military modernization goal behind the decision-making. In the end, female soldiers got the promotion they deserved in the early 60s, leaving a fair and reasonable mark on history. In an objective and in-depth analysis, this article gives people profound enlightenment, leading to thinking about the role of women in the military and other fields and the importance of equality issues in today's society.
