In 1982, 67-year-old Chen Xilian resigned from the ** Committee at the behest of Deng Gong and became a member of the ** Committee. Originally, he could enjoy the rest of his life in peace with his children and daughters, but unfortunately his second son, Chen Zaiwen, was killed in a plane crash. When *** knew about it, he was alone and bearing the pain of losing his child.
** An important figure in modern Chinese history, for more than 70 years, he has been firmly on the side of justice and dedicated his life to the party and the people. ** is a soldier, he is a soldier, he participated in the revolution at the age of fourteen, became a general in more than forty years, and achieved an admirable legend.
**Born in 1915 in a poor peasant family, his real name is Chen Xilian. There are many people in the family, and it is all his father who works hard alone, and his life is very embarrassing. When ***'s father died while working in the field, the family was even more difficult.
**'s mother had to endure the pain and send her four children outside to support herself. The young *** worked as a "cowherd" to reduce the pressure on the family, and the rest of the children also made a living by farming or doing some chores. But even so, the family did not have enough to eat, and they were often bullied. After that, they also had to go to ask for food in order to survive.
The tribulations in life made *** change his mind and establish his ideal of joining the army. Just when he was complacent, he met Zhan Caifang, who was eight years older than him. In 1929, entrusted by Zhan Caifang, he joined the Annam guerrilla detachment of the Red Army.
In 193, he went from a student to a member of the Chinese Communist Party. In 1931, at the age of sixteen, he was transferred to the Red Army University and served as the commander of the 30th Regiment of the 10th Army Corps. At that time, ** set an unprecedented record - in the history of the Red Army, he was the youngest division commander.
** He experienced many "encirclement and suppression" in Hubei, Henan and Anhui regions, and gradually became an excellent Communist Party member under the baptism of war. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the ** team received instructions from above, asking him to immediately rush to Dai County, Shanxi Province to carry out the attack on the Japanese airfield.
The 22-year-old was very brave, he led his team to fight for more than an hour, and finally single-handedly destroyed 24 enemy planes, annihilated more than 100 enemy troops, and completed the glorious battle with very small losses.
This "Battle of Yangming Fortress" is the most glorious one in ***'s life, and it is also a major event that he has been famous for a long time. **In the process of establishing the Taihang Mountain area, great achievements have also been made. In the face of such a brilliant honor, the 31-year-old *** once again set a legend - he is the youngest column commander in the history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
After the "Zhongye" unit was established, it was transferred to the "Liu Deng" Corps, and together with Chen Geng, Chen Zaidao and others, it was called "Sanchen". Because *** is a warrior who can fight, he is deeply appreciated by this great man, and often calls him "commander".
After the end of the ten-year special operation, ** was dispatched to Liaoning Province to serve, during this time, he alone served as the first secretary of the provincial party committee, chairman of the provincial revolutionary committee, and commander of the Shenyang Military Region. Because he won Ye Shuai's trust and attention, he also took over the work of the Military Committee under the orders of ***.
After that, the great man was seriously ill, and he remembered *** again and trusted him to command the army, which shows the importance that *** attaches to him. In addition, after many considerations, he was finally appointed as the deputy prime minister, which shows his importance to our party.
In 198, at the age of 65, he resigned and became a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, playing an important role in the "handover of the old and the new." Two years later, the 32-year-old second son, Chen Zaiwen, was also killed in that war.
*After knowing this, someone immediately went to visit *** but ***, a person who has dedicated his life to the revolution, is very calm about these people: "Our army is still developing, it is inevitable that there will be some accidents, you don't have to worry, I will take care of them!".”
