Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-28

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's political power broke out many times due to the development line and ideological problems, and many founding fathers were implicated and suffered many grievances. For example, Liu Shuai, he was a senior general from the Frunze Military Academy, and he admired the Soviet Union's army building line, but no one expected that in the late 50s, with the transformation of Sino-Soviet relations, Liu Shuai was pushed to the forefront for a while, and was forced to leave in 1958, and never held any important positions since.

Only 1 year later, another marshal Mr. Peng was also deeply involved in the political turmoil, forced to resign from all positions, and spent 6 years at home for 6 years, until 1965 before he came back again, but in 1966, he was once again burdened by turmoil, suffered a lot of ** and accusations, and suffered heavy physical and mental damage. At the same time, Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhu and others were also criticized by **, criticizing their "big-character posters" everywhere.

This made General Zhang Zhizhong very puzzled, he didn't know what the meaning of turmoil was, what was the point of everyone criticizing the founding fathers, he only felt that society had become a mess, everyone was impetuous, and the whole country fell into a strange circle of chaos. However, soon after, General Zhang Zhizhong was inevitably impacted, and almost every day, ** elements ran to his house to shout and smash things. Later, when *** learned of this, he issued a special protection order to Zhang, not allowing anyone to go again, otherwise he would be severely punished!

Zhang Zhizhong is a patriotic general, he has made great contributions during the Anti-Japanese War, and later in the Chongqing negotiations to protect the security of the whole process, and the chairman formed a deep friendship, in addition, in the Liberation War, he also fully promoted the peaceful liberation of Hunan, and made significant contributions to the cause of national liberation, he is a well-deserved national hero, deserves to be courteous!

During the National Day in 1966, General Zhang was invited to the Tiananmen Gate Tower to watch the ceremony with ***, and the chairman asked him if anyone had come to his house**, and he nodded and said yes. This surprised the chairman, Zhang does not hold an important position in **, and does not have much real power in his hands, how can he be implicated?Zhang Zhizhong listened to the chairman's words and felt quite emotional, he believed that the turmoil has tended to "expand," which is completely detrimental to the country's development, and if it is not stopped, I don't know what trouble it will cause in the future.

After Mr. Peng was "knocked down" twice, Zhang Zhizhong finally couldn't sit still, he had worked with Mr. Peng, he was always a very decent person, and he would definitely not do anything sorry for the party and the peopleZhang Zhizhong then wrote a letter and submitted it to *** to avenge the boss, but now is a sensitive period, and it is not suitable to "overturn the case" for the boss, so *** came forward to withhold the letter to protect Zhang Zhizhong.

About 1 month later, Zhang Zhizhong saw that *** did not respond, so he took the initiative to ask *** about the matter, and the prime minister told him that his letter *** had been received and was discussing how to deal with it, so please don't worry. On the National Day in 1967, Zhang was invited to watch the ceremony again, and this time, he said a lot of "bold words" in front of the chairman, such as he bluntly said that the chairman was walking too fast and everyone couldn't keep up. This is obviously implying that some of the chairman's decisions are too "avant-garde" and have exceeded everyone's "expectations"** Frightened by Zhang Zhizhong's "upright" speech, the prime minister has been hinting that he should not continue to speak, but he continued regardless of the pressure: If the marshals are "knocked down", what can you do with the chairman?

The chairman did not respond to him, but smiled slightly, paced away, and left Zhang Zhizhong alone in a daze. Of course, this is not because the chairman is angry, the chairman is actually touched by Zhang Zhizhong's words, after returning to the Juxiang Book House, the chairman has been thinking about some problems related to turmoil, and planning corresponding solutions. In 1968, Zhang Zhizhong's physical condition suddenly deteriorated, and he was completely incapacitated, so he could only lie on the hospital bed to recuperate.

When the chairman learned of this, he sent his secretary to visit him and brought him some precious medicinal herbs as tonics. In 1969, Zhang died of illness, and before he died, he was still talking about *** and New China, he hoped that New China could achieve prosperity and strength as soon as possible, and the people could live a good life. Subsequently, ** took the lead in holding a memorial service for him, ** personally served as the host.

People from all walks of life learned that this old friend of the Communist Party of China had died, and they sent wreaths and elegiac couplets to express their condolences and memorials, and when the prime minister delivered the eulogy, he bluntly said that he was an immortal national hero, and his exploits will forever be recorded in the annals of history, admired by future generations, and his body was buried in Babaoshan, and many old revolutionary comrades were buried among the green pines and cypresses, and his descendants also enjoyed the preferential care they deserved.
