The military and political career of the founding general Han Xianchu can be described by the word "legend", in terms of military achievements, galloping in the northeast, liberating Hainan, and crisscrossing Korea, he can be called a super-first-class general in our army; And after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has 4 things outside the battlefield that are admirable, let's find out.
The first thing happened in 1959. During the Lushan Conference and the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission, Mr. Peng was wrongly criticized. During the war years, Han Xianchu and Mr. Peng walked most recently, undoubtedly on the Korean battlefield. At that time, he was the deputy of General Peng and served as the deputy commander of the Volunteer Army. Han Xianchu and Peng are both quick-tempered, often quarrel, and their personal relationship is not very harmonious. But in 1959, when Mr. Peng was killed, Han Xianchu not only did not talk about Mr. Peng during the two meetings, but even visited the Finnish villa (Mr. Peng's residence) at night during the Lushan Conference and met with the chief alone. This is something that many generals of Mr. Peng's family can't do, but Han Xianchu has done it, which makes people admire his righteousness and courage, completely ignoring his personal situation.
The second incident occurred when Han Xianchu was the commander of the Fuzhou Military Region. Because of his experience in leading a large army to cross the sea, he deliberately placed a famous general like Han Xianchu on the front line of the Taiwan Strait to deter reactionaries. When Han Xianchu was guarding the Fuzhou Military Region, he asked the chairman by name for a general who had "made mistakes", that is, Chen Zaidao. Chen Zaidao was later rehabilitated, but at that time, his generals needed courage. Chen Zaidao's position in the Red Army was far higher than Han Xianchu's, but in order to protect him, Han Xianchu named him to the Fuzhou Military Region as his deputy commander. Therefore, as soon as they met, Han Xianchu apologized to the senior, which moved Chen Zaidao: It is obvious that the other party took the initiative to try to rescue him, but he is still so polite and humble, which is too rare. As a result, the two became close friends, which once again demonstrated Admiral Han's chivalrous heart.
The third thing is after Han Xianchu came out of the trough. Due to the changes in the situation some time ago, Han Xianchu has been wrongly criticized many times, and even shouted slogans to "bring down". After the situation gradually calmed down, some of Han Xianchu's old subordinates planned to severely punish those who were disrespectful to the chief at that time, but they were severely stopped by Han Xianchu: It is not allowed to treat these comrades differently, and the Fuzhou Military Region will not engage in the matter of "retribution for wrongs"! In this way, Commander Han Xianchu won the respect of more people, and those who opposed him also admired his open-mindedness.
The fourth thing was after he was transferred to the Lanzhou Military Region in the 70s. At that time, Deng Gong was in a disadvantageous situation, and all military regions across the country had to criticize him, and some commanders of large military regions could only carry out his actions against their will. However, Han Xianchu just did not admit this, and even openly stated at an internal meeting of the military region: In my opinion, cadres who have not been expelled from the party are not considered "counter-revolutionaries," so no one is allowed to engage in critical activities in the Lanzhou Military Region! Han Xianchu dared to "defy the world's condemnation" and was a well-known and bold general, not only in the war years, but also in peacetime. In his later years, Han Xianchu not only did not get overthrown because of his upright character, but instead became the vice chairman of the National People's Congress.
