In 1955, the squadron carried out a large-scale promotion of military ranks, and at the same time held a grand award ceremony. Among the first batch of 798 founding major generals, 14 stood out and became major generals who were awarded the Order of August 1, the Order of Independence and Freedom, and the Order of Liberation of the First Class. Behind this honor are their heroic deeds in the red years.
Han Dongshan, a native of Dawu, Hubei, joined the Red Army in 1929 and made outstanding achievements and was promoted to the commander of the 25th Division of the Red 9th Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he successively served as the deputy commander and deputy brigade commander of the 771st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, and the deputy commander of the Eastward Column, showing tenacity and loyalty. During the War of Liberation, he served as the political commissar of the Chen (Xianrui) Han (Dongshan) Field Column of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region and the political commissar of the Logistics Department. Although his qualifications and position were sufficient to confer the rank of lieutenant general, he was eventually awarded only the rank of major general. General Han Dongshan died of illness in 1986 at the age of 81.
He Qingji, a newcomer in Jiangxi, joined the revolution at the age of 18 and quickly became a famous general under him. In the War of Resistance Against Japan, he led his troops to capture the enemy many times, showing fearlessness and determination to win. In the battle of Chestnut Garden, He Qingji once again played the role of a sharp knife and captured the enemy division commander alive, and was praised by the regiment commander. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he became the commander of the 718th Regiment of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army. In 1955, He Qingji was awarded the rank of major general, and his heroic deeds set an example for later founding generals. In 1998, General He Qingji died of illness at the age of 89.
Tan Youlin, a native of Jiangling, Hubei, joined the Red Army at the age of 14 and successively served as the political commissar of the 5th Division of the 2nd Red Army Corps and the 96th Division of the 32nd Army of the 2nd Red Front Army. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, he held many important positions, showing the qualities of open-minded and sacrificial soldiers. In 1955, Tan Youlin was awarded the rank of major general, and although his old comrades-in-arms asked for a promotion for him, he accepted it calmly, emphasizing his satisfaction with the revolutionary cause. In 2006, General Tan Youlin died of illness at the age of 91.
He Jinnian, a native of Anding, Shaanxi, participated in the revolution at the age of 18 and was one of the founders of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, he held a number of key positions and made important contributions to the development and consolidation of the revolutionary base areas in northern Shaanxi. In 1955, He Jinnian was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, although his seniority and contribution were sufficient to confer the rank of lieutenant general. In 2003, General He Jinnian died of illness at the age of 93.
These four major generals, their lives were closely linked to the Red Revolution. They have written heroic chapters with their flesh and blood, and they deserve to be a brilliant group in the legend of the squadron.

In this era, they are heroes, legends, and forever major generals.
This article profoundly shows that heroic era, and outlines a heroic picture of the Red Revolution by introducing the life deeds of 14 founding major generals, including Han Dongshan, He Qingji, Tan Youlin and He Jinnian. These generals showed tenacity, fearlessness, open-mindedness, and loyalty to the revolutionary cause during the arduous years of fighting, and made great contributions to China's independence and liberation.
First of all, the article shows his outstanding performance in the Red Army through the introduction of Han Dongshan. As a soldier of the Red Army, he endured hardships in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and finally returned to his hometown with the rank of major general. This quality of tenacity and loyalty is not only admirable, but also thought-provoking. General Han Dongshan's life is a bright pearl in the course of the Red Revolution.
Secondly, He Qingji's deeds show us the image of a real fierce general. He charged into battle many times during the War of Resistance and won the praise of the regiment commander for his fearless courage and excellent tactics. In the War of Liberation, He Qingji made his first contribution to the Montenegrin Resistance Battle and made important contributions to the victory of the Liaoshen Campaign. His tenacity and victorious spirit became a model for many later soldiers.
Tan Youlin's story shows the open-mindedness and sacrifice of a general. He held a number of key positions and participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but was only awarded the title of Major General when he was awarded. However, General Tan Youlin's open-mindedness and sense of satisfaction with the revolutionary cause are thought-provoking. His life demonstrated the feelings of the Red Army generals for their family and country.
Finally, He Jinnian's deeds show us the founder of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. As one of the founders of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, he made outstanding contributions to the opening up and consolidation of the revolutionary base areas in northern Shaanxi. However, despite his seniority and contributions sufficient to confer a higher rank, he was ultimately awarded only Major General. This is undoubtedly a touching historical picture.
