Ding Sheng went out in his later years, and his old subordinates covered food, housing and transportation

Ding Sheng once served as the commander of the large military region for 8 years, but in his later years he fell into difficulties. Due to his involvement in the "two cases," he was forced to retire from active duty and be resettled according to the treatment of regimental-level cadres, and his life became difficult for a time.

In the 80s of the last century, Mr. Ding Sheng, who had lived in Nanjing for many years, went to his daughter who worked in Shenzhen in 1989 because of his age. Ding Sheng first lived in the home of his daughter Kexi for a while, and then went to Guangzhou for a while at the invitation of Liu Jian, the widow of Yang Meisheng, former deputy commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, and Li Weiying, deputy director of the Political Department of the Military Region.

In 1990, Ding Sheng and his wife, Li Weiying and his wife, and Ding Sheng's old secretary were at Li Weiying's home to study Ding Sheng's grievance. They agreed that, while the resolution of the complaint was unlikely, the appeal must not be interrupted or abandoned, even if the outcome was unsatisfactory.

Mr. and Mrs. Ding went north to Beijing in May and stayed there for half a year. In October, they went to Tianjin at the invitation of their old comrades-in-arms in Tianjin. Since then, they have visited Tianjin, Wuhan, Jinan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guilin, Nanning, Beihai, Kunming, Haikou and other places, and have been warmly welcomed by their old comrades-in-arms.

In Tianjin, old comrades-in-arms gave him clothes and pooled money to buy him a ticket; When they arrived in Nanning, several old subordinates entertained, ate, and lived in high-end houses. After leaving Nanning, Geng Yuehua and his wife, who had been company commanders under him, sent Ding Sheng and his wife to Beihai to arrange the next wave of receptionists.

Geng Yuehua said: "I will hand over the old army commander to you!" During his stay in Beihai, Li Baishun, who had served as the head of the propaganda section of the 135th Division, had changed jobs, and although he had a disability in walking, he still deliberately took a boat from Haikou to pick up Ding Sheng, and took Ding Sheng to Hainan Island to play, and said to Ding Sheng: "You live, eat, and travel here, I will take care of it, and don't care about anything." ”

He's a very real person. He went to Haikou to play for a while, and when he left, he specially bought a plane ticket from Haikou to Kunming, hoping that Ding Sheng and his wife would suffer less on the way.

At that time, taking a plane was quite expensive, a ticket of several hundred yuan, more than his monthly living expenses, Ding Sheng was reluctant. From Haikou to Kunming, many people came to pick him up, some of whom he was familiar with, and when they met, they would ask him and his wife: What does the military commander like to eat?

What do you need in your housing? Some people brought them clothes, some people brought fruits, bananas, lychees, mangoes, etc., but everything that could not be eaten was broken. After living in Kunming for more than 50 days, the old comrades-in-arms would come to the dinner twice, the first time in the guest house, and the second time when the deputy political commissar of the provincial military district invited him to dinner.

After leaving Kunming, he embarked on a journey to Chengdu. In order to make sure that everything went smoothly, his old subordinates arrived in Chengdu early to make preliminary preparations, stayed there for a total of 38 days, and met many interesting people.

After that, he went to Leshan and Emeishan. After leaving Chengdu, he set off for Chongqing again. In general, in the years from 1990 to 1994, he traveled a lot and met many people.

In the face of adversity, he felt the warmth and joy brought by his comrades-in-arms.
