Nian *** met with Du Ping and mentioned the ambassador to North Korea, but Du Ping refused: I am not very suitable.
I'm not really a college student. Hearing this, everyone was stunned, for these half-life founding generals, going to college is unimaginable.
However, why would you be so familiar with Dupin's situation? This all stems from the years of the Revolutionary War that they experienced together.
In 1908, Du Ping was born into a poor peasant family in Wanzai County, Jiangxi Province. At that time, China was in internal and external difficulties, the invasion of imperialism, and the expropriation and expropriation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which made the people miserable.
In order to change the fate of the child, his father saved money and sent Du Ping to the school raised by the ancestral union of his surname. Du Ping knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by, so he studied diligently in school and came out on top in every exam.
After graduating, he was admitted to Dongzhou Middle School with excellent grades. After graduating from high school, Du Ping aspired to further his education, but could not afford the high tuition fees due to his family's poverty. It was only through his father's patchwork that he was able to enter Hunan Provincial Qunzhi University in Changsha.
Du Ping, the son of a low-level people, was successfully admitted to the private university established in Changsha by virtue of his extraordinary learning ability, the University of Life and Governance of the People at the Bottom. The school's directors gathered many celebrities at that time, such as Zhang Taiyan and Yu Youren, which is enough to prove Du Ping's strength.
However, when he was studying at university, a merciless blow of fate struck him. His father died of illness and the family lost its main financial swield. In desperation, he could only drop out of school and return to his hometown, and began to get in touch with all kinds of warmth and coldness in society, and had the determination to change his fate.
At this time, the revolutionary trend of thought was in full swing across the country, and Du Ping was deeply affected by it, joined the local peasant association, and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause. In 1930, the Red Army soldiers came to Du Ping's hometown of Wanzai County, where they actively propagated the revolution and carried out the movement of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land".
Du Pin volunteered to join the Red Army and was assigned to work in the Propaganda Section, where he began his legendary revolutionary career.
Red Army soldier Du Ping actively propagated the revolution in the early days of the revolutionary movement, and got acquainted with the *** that influenced his life In June 1930, the Sixth Army where he was located was reorganized into the Third Army, and the newly reorganized Third Army will join the Red Fourth Army and the Red Twelfth Army under the command of ** and *** in Yongfeng, Jiangxi.
For Du Ping, who has only joined the army for two months, this is exciting news. After a long march, the team came to the Yongfeng Liuyuan camp. At this time, Du Ping saw a flag planted at the door of the shop opposite the military headquarters, which read "Commander-in-Chief of the First Route Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army".
He guessed that *** might be in the store, so he quietly walked over. But there were so many people that he couldn't see who was who. Just when he was about to leave, he saw a man in his thirties and forties, he was full of Hunan accent, talking and laughing to send Huang Gongluo out, Du Ping recognized that it was ***
During the revolutionary period, the care and attention of ** played a key role in the growth of many people, including Du Pin. Although Du Ping didn't say anything to *** at first, he won the favor of *** with his talent and diligence.
In September 1931, after the victory of the soldiers at the old camp, the military headquarters lost contact with the headquarters. In this case, Huang Gongluo thought of Du Ping, and he sent Du Ping to set off with a reinforced company to deliver a letter to ***.
Du Ping set off non-stop, and after a difficult journey of a day and a night, he managed to reach the headquarters and came to the residence of ***. **After receiving the letter, he expressed his appreciation for Huang Gonglue's victory and chatted with Du Ping about family life.
When he learned that Du Ping had also gone to university, he was very happy and encouraged him to learn by doing and grow rapidly in the revolutionary war. Du Ping was deeply inspired, and in the later revolutionary war, he grew faster and faster, which was inseparable from the care and support of ***.
Comrade Du Ping bravely shouldered heavy burdens during the Agrarian Revolutionary War, and made many meritorious contributions in the battles of Wenjia City, Changsha, and Ji'an, and was appreciated by the superior leaders, and later served as the political commissar of the Red 30th Army.
In October 1934, when the Red Army began the Long March, Comrade Du Ping was in charge of the political work of the medical and radio departments, which did not directly participate in the war, but provided a strong guarantee for the advance of the Red Army.
Comrade Du Ping is deeply loved by *** and ***, and has been praised many times. In 1937, when the full-scale War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
**Proceeding from the overall situation, it was decided to set up a rear guard office of the Eighth Route Army, with Comrade Du Ping as the deputy director, responsible for defending the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area.
In the defense of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region, Du Ping, as the spiritual leader of the soldiers, strictly followed the instructions of his superiors to strengthen reconnaissance of the enemy's situation and anti-artillery and air defense drills on the one hand, and speed up the construction of fortifications on the other hand.
Under the leadership of Du Ping, the commanders and fighters were not afraid of hardships, using the stones and sand on the river bank to repair day and night, and built one solid fortification after another. In battles with the Japanese army, the fighters, with these fortifications, repeatedly repelled enemy attacks, inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the armed forces of our party grew stronger and stronger, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel pressure. In order to cope with the crazy offensive of the Kuomintang army, Du Ping actively responded to the call and led the soldiers to carry out a large-scale large-scale production campaign, making great contributions to the defense of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area and the world.
In August 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and the Chinese people won a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, Chiang Kai-shek ignored the opposition of the people of the whole country and continued to deploy troops to attack the liberated areas, and the civil war in the whole country was about to break out.
In order to seize the initiative on the battlefield, our party was formally established"Develop to the north and defend to the south"A large number of cadres were transferred from various liberated areas to strengthen leadership over the northeast.
With rich experience, Du Ping was transferred to the Northeast to serve as the head of the Organization Department of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee.
Du Ping is the founder of the Great Jianguo College, and he has cultivated a large number of outstanding talents for China's economic construction. At the exciting moment when the Chinese stood up and New China was founded, he received the appointment of the first and became the ambassador of the DPRK.
However, he turned down the position because he only had in mind the volunteers who would bring glory to the country. In the Korean War, he served as the director of the political department of the Volunteer Army, and in the face of a strong enemy, he led the troops and fought for the honor and honor of New China.
Du Ping was a great figure in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he went deep into the grassroots to understand the situation of the soldiers, and gave a speech at the mobilization meeting, emphasizing the importance of fighting the US army.
He pointed out that we are fighting not only to defend the Korean people, but also to defend our own homeland. Only by defeating the US military on the battlefield can our country develop steadily and our people live a comfortable life.
General Dupin not only inspired the fighters ideologically, but also played an active role in action. He organized the troops to fully discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us, which aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers and made them build up confidence in victory.
In the Korean War, General Dupin took part in the first.
In the second, third, and fourth battles, he actively cooperated with the Volunteer Army Headquarters to issue political mobilization, strengthen political offensives, and finally help the soldiers overcome difficulties and achieve victory.
In June 1951, General Du Pin attended the June Conference and issued instructions for political work on combat readiness and mobilization, making an important contribution to the victory of the war. Therefore, he was awarded the Order of Independence and Freedom of the People's Republic of Korea, 1st class, which is the best recognition of his bravery, courage and wisdom.
General Du Ping's outstanding military exploits are deeply appreciated. At the beginning of March 1953, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army received an urgent telegram from **, asking General Du Ping to return to China immediately to accept a new task.
After receiving the order, Du Ping immediately set off for China, and when he arrived in Beijing, he was told that he would serve as ambassador to North Korea. Although he was asked to hold this position by the organization, he did not think he had the qualities to be a diplomat, so he approached General *** and expressed the reason why he was unwilling to be ambassador to North Korea.
He said that he had worked in the army for a long time, and being a foreign ambassador required a shrewd mind, and that his brain was slow and rude, and that he might mess up the image problem on some diplomatic occasions and be incompetent in foreign affairs.
A few days later, Du Ping received a letter from the General Office, and it turned out that he wanted to meet him. In the reception room of ***, ** stretched out his hand to Du Ping from afar, smiled and said: "Comrade Du Ping, long time no see, hurry up and sit down." ”
** Busy at work, Du Pin reported to him on the Korean battlefield preparations for the landing on the west coast. **After hearing this, he nodded and said earnestly: "You have worked hard in North Korea, and now the Americans are also in a dilemma."
We need to adopt a strategy of waiting and seeing what happens, holding them back until they offer to make peace. Du Ping listened attentively to ***'s interpretation of the battlefield situation, and he was deeply in awe of ***'s superb art of struggle.
Subsequently, ** asked the question of the ambassador to the DPRK, and he asked: "I heard that you are not willing to go to the DPRK to be an ambassador, what is the reason?" Du Ping thought for a moment and replied: "The ambassador is the representative of the country, I have worked in the army for many years, and my personality is relatively straightforward, if I do it in diplomacy, it may have a bad impact on the country." ”
In the course of the conversation, Du Ping found that since Ni Zhiliang stepped down as ambassador to the DPRK, the personnel in charge of the embassy work have done a very good job in the DPRK. He believes that it is most appropriate to choose one of these people to serve as ambassador to the DPRK.
General Du Ping proposed a toast to ***, and ** readily agreed. Soon after, Du Pin went to North Korea again to participate in negotiations with the American delegation. In 1955, in recognition of the meritorious heroes in the revolutionary war, Du Ping was awarded the rank of lieutenant general to show his affirmation of his achievements.
Subsequently, General Du Ping was transferred to the northeast and successively served as director of the Political Department of the Northeast Military Region and deputy political commissar of the Shenyang Military Region. In the sixties, he became the governor of Jiangsu Province, and during his tenure, he promoted the economic development of Jiangsu with his diligent work attitude and effective measures, and was highly praised by the highest and most advanced people.
In the sixties and seventies, when China entered a special period, General Du Ping had a firm belief and made new contributions to the country by promoting the construction of the "three modernizations" of the army while fighting.
In the 80s, General Du Ping adhered to the concept of "younger cadres" put forward by the first generation, took the initiative to step down from the leadership position, and supported the policy of the first class with practical actions.
In 1982, General Du Ping was elected as a member of the first advisory committee of the Communist Party of China, and he used his leisure time after retirement to actively participate in army building and social activities, and did his best to contribute to the party and the country.
In the end, General Du Ping, who had fought for the party and the country all his life, passed away in March 1999 at the age of 91.
General Du Ping died in his old age, and he proved with his life that heroes do not fall from the sky, but rise to the ordinary in the ordinary. The older generation of revolutionaries, led by General Du Ping, braved hardships and dangers and made heroic sacrifices in exchange for the beautiful life we have today.
We must always remember the dedication and dedication of these revolutionary heroes, and in order to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must strengthen our confidence and move forward bravely.
