In December 1957, Senior General Zhang Yunyi suddenly received a letter from a company commander of a unit.
The company commander said in the letter that his hometown was in Xiaotun Village, Wendeng County, Jiaodong Prefecture, Shandong, and that because of land reform, his father Yu Tonghai offended the village cadres and was retaliated against.
After Zhang Yunyi saw this letter, he also attached great importance to it and said to the staff:"Our soldiers are defending the motherland, but their own homes are not protected, this is not good, I must investigate it clearly, and give this company commander justice. ”
A few days later, Zhang Yunyi happened to go to Qingdao to inspect, so he decided to go to Wendeng to see it in person.
After arriving in Qingdao, Zhang Yunyi inspected the work and said to the secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee: "I want to go to Xiaotun Village in Wendeng County, and I ask you to send someone to lead the way." ”
The secretary of the municipal party committee asked what he was doing, and Zhang Yunyi told him about it.
The secretary of the municipal party committee said: "Wendeng is far away, and now it is very cold, so don't go, just ask Secretary Zhang to go." ”
Secretary Zhang is Zhang Yunyi's secretary Zhang Guanghua, Zhang Yunyi is worried that he will not handle it well, so he insists on going by himself.
The secretary of the municipal party committee said: "I think it is going to snow soon, the snow in Jiaodong is heavy, in case it is blocked on the road, it will be too delayed, we still have a lot of important things to report to you, it is enough for Secretary Zhang to deal with it." ”
Zhang Yunyi was right when he heard it, he had already heard of the heavy snow in Jiaodong, and if he was blocked on the road, it would really delay his work, so he agreed.
However, as Zhang Yunyi expected, Secretary Zhang really didn't do it well this time.
The next day, Secretary Zhang came back and reported to Zhang Yunyi that he went to the leaders of the county to reflect the situation, and the leaders of the county also attached great importance to it, saying that they would deal with it impartially and reassure them, so he came back.
After Zhang Yunyi heard this, he asked, "Did you go to Xiaotun Village to see the old man of Tonghai?" ”
Secretary Zhang was stunned for a moment and said: "Xiaotun Village is still far away from the county seat, and the county leaders said that they would deal with it, so I didn't go." ”
Zhang Yunyi sighed and said, "This won't work, it seems that I have to go for a trip myself." ”
I have to say that Zhang Yunyi is still very thoughtful about the problem, he knows the efficiency of the grassroots level, if there is no urging from above, no one will care, so he decided to go in person to comfort the old man Yu Tonghai.
At that time, it was already snowing heavily, and the road was very unsafe, but Zhang Yunyi had made up his mind, and no one could persuade him, so the secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee had to send several cars to follow him to ensure the safety of General Zhang Yunyi.
The convoy walked for a long time before finally arriving at Xiaotun Village and finding Yu Tonghai's home.
Although the snow was already very heavy at that time, the convoy still attracted the attention of the villagers, and it was rare for everyone to see a car, let alone the convoy, so when the convoy entered the village, the villagers all ran out to see that it was the best official who came down.
After Zhang Yunyi arrived at Yu Tonghai's house, he called several cadres from the village together to inquire about the ins and outs of the matter on the spot, and finally let everyone release their suspicions and resolve the matter peacefully.
The old man Yu Tonghai was very moved, he didn't expect that Zhang Yunyi, such a big leader, would personally come to help him solve the problem, so moved to tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Zhang Yunyi hurriedly helped him up and said:"Your son is defending the country, and we also have the responsibility to protect his family, you don't have to thank me, thank you if you want to thank you**! ”
Besides, Yu Tonghai's son, he wrote a letter to his superiors, just hoping that the superior leaders would take a look, but he didn't expect to alarm the big head of Zhang Yunyi's level, and Zhang Yunyi also went to visit his father at his home in person, which he couldn't even imagine!
Later, Yu Tonghai and his son wrote to Zhang Yunyi many times to express their gratitude, and also sent some Jiaodong specialties, Zhang Yunyi also wrote back to them, encouraging them to continue to serve the country, as for those specialties, Zhang Yunyi was not good to send them back, so he sent them some money according to the market price.
This is General Zhang Yunyi's "love for soldiers like sons"; even if he is a small company commander who has never known all his life, he must help him uphold justice; how can such a commander not be supported and loved by the vast number of officers and men?
