The 1955 military rank assessment was based on a standard that was organized in 1952 for all cadres in the army. According to this assessment, the corresponding military ranks are: the rank of member of the Central Military Commission is general, the deputy corps level or outstanding contribution is general, some deputy corps level, quasi-corps level or regular army level with great contribution and talent are lieutenant generals, and some regular army level and deputy army level and the full division level with good moral integrity and great contribution are major generals. 
Of course, this standard is not immutable, and the specific situation must be comprehensively assessed when assessing military ranks, for example, Wang Shusheng and Xu Guangda at the regular corps level are generals, and Xu Liqing, who is also at the regular corps level, is a lieutenant general;He Bingyan at the quasi-corps level is a general, Xie Fang, who is also at the quasi-corps level, is a major general, Han Xianchu at the deputy corps level is a general, and He Jinnian, who is also at the deputy corps level, is only a major general, etc., so I will not list them all here. In order to specifically evaluate the military ranks of cadres, an evaluation committee was set up in the organization, which was presided over by Mr. Peng and ***, and assisted by three comrades, Xu Liqing, Lai Chuanzhu, and Song Renqiang. The evaluation committee mainly conducts the evaluation of the rank of general and the rank below the general, and the committee will draw up the list of awards, and then submit it to the chairman for final decision. Among the five comrades on the evaluation committee, Peng Lao was always the revolutionary father who led the Pingjiang Uprising, the founder of the Red Fifth Army and the Red Third Army, and a famous general with outstanding military achievements during the Red Army period. During the period of the Red Army, Peng Lao commanded the Red Fifth Army to hold Jinggangshan bloodily, and broke through Changsha in the process of the creation and development of the Soviet Union, and achieved a series of brilliant achievements. 
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Battle of the Hundred Regiments commanded by Mr. Peng dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, played a heroic role in the people's army, and countered all kinds of slanderous words of the Kuomintang reactionaries in one fell swoop. In the War of Liberation, Mr. Peng took the initiative to ask Ying to command the Northwest Field Corps to fight against Qinghuatou, Yangmahe, and Shajiadian, beating Hu Zongnan to the ground and reversing the unfavorable situation in the Northwest Battlefield in one fell swoop. In this war, in the face of MacArthur, Ridgway and other famous American imperialist generals, Mr. Peng was fearless, commanded the soldiers of the volunteer army to fight bloodily, beat MacArthur to the ground, and left the class in disgrace. With these outstanding military exploits, Mr. Peng was deservedly awarded the rank of marshal when he was awarded, ranking second among the top ten marshals. ** It is an old revolutionary who participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and was a representative of the secret service company at the time of the Autumn Harvest Uprising. This Confucian general, who was born as a high-ranking intellectual, made countless meritorious contributions during the war years, and was an outstanding father of our army on the political and industrial front. The development and growth of the Shandong base area during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the rapid development of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army during the War of Liberation were all attributed to Luo Shuai. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of Father, which was well deserved. Xu Liqing was the director of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Army during the Red Army, and the highest position during the Liberation War was the political commissar of the First Corps. In the political appointment of the Corps, Xu Liqing, together with General **, led his troops to climb the Qilian Mountain, which was covered with snow all year round, liberated Qinghai and Xinjiang, and safeguarded the unity and territorial integrity of the motherland. 
At the time of conferring the title, Xu Liqing's rank was at the level of the regular corps, and he was properly qualified as a general. However, Xu Liqing was a member of the evaluation committee, and in order to avoid suspicion, he carried forward his high style and applied for a reduction in his military rank three times, and in the end, Xu Liqing only accepted the rank of lieutenant general. As the director of the Military Political Department during the Red Army period and the political commissar of the Corps during the Liberation War, the award of the rank of lieutenant general is too low, which fully shows that the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation do not care about fame and fortune, and Xu Liqing's move to give up the title is admirable. Song Renqiang was an old revolutionary who participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and during the Autumn Harvest Uprising, he served as a clerk in the guard regiment. During the Red Army, Song Renqiao's highest position was the political commissar of the Red 28th Army, and during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was the commander and political commissar of the Plains Military Region. During the Liberation War, Song Renqiang served as the political commissar of the second column of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army and the third deputy political commissar of the East China Field Army. Song Renqiang, who was born as an intellectual, was an elegant person, but he had excellent political work ability, and he was deeply used since he participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising. In 1955, Song Renqiang was awarded the rank of general. Lai Chuanzhu, a native of Ganxian County, Jiangxi Province, has been actively organizing and working with progressive students to propagate revolutionary ideas among the peasants and organize peasant armed forces since he was a student. In April 1927, Lao Jiang brazenly launched the 412 coup d'état, and Lai Chuanzhu did the opposite, joined the party under the cover of the white terror, and began to fight for the liberation of the Chinese people. In the revolutionary army, Lai Chuanzhu successively served as political commissar of the 1st Red Division, chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, chief of staff of the Jiangbei Command, chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, commander of the Sixth Column of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, political commissar of the 43rd Army, and political commissar of the 15th Corps. 
From these positions, we can see that Lai Chuanzhu is not only an outstanding political worker, but also has good military ability; when he was the commander of the Sixth Column of Dongye, he had extremely outstanding performances in the autumn offensive and winter offensive of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, and when he was the political commissar of the 15 th Corps, the Hainan Island campaign commanded by him and Deng Hua, Han Xianchu, and others was a classic battle that can be recorded in military textbooks. In 1952, Lai Chuanzhu was assessed as a regular corps-level cadre, and in 1955, Lai Chuanzhu was awarded the rank of general.
