October 5, 1985, Founding Fathers"Long Live the Army"Army Commander Liang Xingchu was hospitalized with a cold, but died suddenly a few hours after receiving friends, which attracted widespread attention.
Some people questioned that it was medical malpractice and suggested that an autopsy find out the truth, but Liang Xingchu's wife resolutely refused. Is there a secret behind this?
Before revealing the truth of this incident, let's take a deep dive into Liang Xingchu's life experience and feel his legendary past. Liang Xingchu was born on August 23, 1913 in a poor mountain village in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, and was the fourth in his family.
His father, a carpenter, made wooden furniture for the villagers to make a living, while his mother made papier-mâché lanterns for others. When Liang Xingchu was born, there were already nine children in the family, which made the already poor family situation even more grim.
Later, due to hunger, the family even struggled to get enough to eat.
Heaven seems to be full of malice towards the Liang family, throwing bad luck on this already suffering family. When Liang Xingchu was 12 years old, his father was bedridden due to illness, and the family lost a stable income**.
I used to make ends meet on my father's wages to make furniture, but now it's a distant dream. In order to take care of his family, Liang Xingchu decided to go to a local blacksmith shop as an apprentice.
The profession of blacksmith requires a lot of manual labor and is full of challenges for him. However, Liang Xingchu did not give up, he knew that only through his own efforts could he change the fate of his family.
Despite the rough road, he persevered, hoping to find a way out of the difficult situation.
Liang Xingchu has experienced hardships since he was a child, and he cherishes this rare learning opportunity and works diligently in the blacksmith shop. However, his father and younger brother still need to be cared for, and he urgently needs some money.
After working in a blacksmith shop for a while, Liang Xingchu asked his master for funding, but was flatly refused. It was a time when the poor had to struggle to make ends meet, let alone avoid exploitation.
Liang Xingchu toiled in the blacksmith shop for three years but found nothing, which filled his heart with anger.
Thanks to her mother's hard work, the family was barely able to make ends meet. However, Liang Xingchu was dissatisfied with the life in the blacksmith shop, and he decided to leave and take with him the hammer he used most often.
During his three years in the blacksmith's shop, his hard-working spirit was tempered, and at the same time, he also developed a strong physique. These experiences have been an important help in his military career.
At this time, China was in a period of warlord warfare, and the Kuomintang army led by Chiang Kai-shek carried out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in an attempt to eliminate the existence of the Red Army in the revolutionary base areas.
In such a complex and difficult environment, Liang Xingchu chose to join the Red Army. He was attracted by the idea that the Red Army was a people's army and soon became a Red Army soldier.
Before Liang Xingchu joined the army, he did not have time to receive formal training, but in battle, he showed a heroic and fearless momentum, and quickly defeated many enemies, thus making a name for himself.
Subsequently, Liang Xingchu was appointed as the squad leader of the regimental headquarters where he was located. With the accumulation of combat experience, his leaders found that Liang Xingchu was not only brave in battle, but also quick in thinking.
Perhaps Liang Xingchu was born for the army, he soon became a small leader of the Red Army, and received the ideological education of the Communist Party, deeply understanding that only the Communist Party can lead the people to a bright future.
Liang Xingchu's prominence stemmed from a secret mission he completed. In September 1935, the Red Army captured Lazikou, when Liang Xingchu was already the commander of the Red Army reconnaissance company.
In order to solve the problem of feeding the Red Army, Liang Xingchu led the company to a nearby town to collect food, and was specially instructed to bring the latest newspapers. He acted quickly and decided to start at Hadapu.
Hadapu was the commercial center of the Gan-Shaanxi region, which had always been controlled by the Kuomintang, and its rash entry could raise suspicions. Liang Xingchu took advantage of this and disguised his company as Kuomintang troops and successfully completed the mission.
Filled with food and wine, Liang Xingchu returned to the Red Army garrison loaded with food and newspapers, leaving only a group of ignorant enemies. Through these newspapers, the organization was able to obtain important information and lay the foundation for the successful rendezvous of the Red Army.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Liang Xingchu repeatedly made meritorious contributions and made outstanding contributions. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general by the state, and he deservedly deserved it. His heroic fighting style has been affirmed by the best leaders.
In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, his prestige reached its peak, and the 38th Army he led was respectfully called the "Long Live Army".
Liang Xingchu led the 38th Army into Korea in October 1950, planning to encircle and strike at the enemy in Xichuan. However, due to the fear of black Americans, he ordered the troops to halt their advance in order to reduce **.
Commander Peng was furious when he learned that the enemy forces in Xichuan City had withdrawn. At the subsequent battle summary meeting, he expressed his condolences to all the generals who attended the meeting, but only skipped Liang Xingchu and glared at him fiercely.
Commander Peng said that although this was the first battle into North Korea and he was generally satisfied, he was very angry about Liang Xingchu's mistake. He directly pointed his finger at Liang Xingchu and scolded him harshly: "You are too bold, do you know that this time because of your mistake alone, how much effort the whole army has made in vain?"
I used to look like a fierce general, but now it seems that you are just a 'rat general'! ”
Political Commissar Deng stepped in to ease the atmosphere, and he encouraged the 38th Army to show their strength in the next battle. Liang Xingchu was deeply ashamed and determined to make up for his past mistakes by fighting a beautiful turnaround.
Soon after, a new round of fighting began, and all the officers and men of the 38th Army showed the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, and everyone wanted to rush to the front. In the end, the 38th Army took the important city of Tokugawa in only five hours and captured a large number of high-ranking American generals.
This battle completely washed away the "humiliation" of the past, effectively dealt a blow to the arrogance of the US military, and laid a solid foundation for the subsequent comprehensive victory.
Commander Peng spoke highly of this matter, and Liang Xingchu was given a new title - "Long Live Army Commander", which was a very high honor and fully reflected his outstanding ability in army leadership and combat command.
Subsequently, as the country entered a stage of peaceful development, Liang Xingchu was appointed commander of the Chengdu Military Region, responsible for the defense affairs of the entire southwest region. However, due to the injuries sustained in combat as a young man, his physical condition deteriorated day by day, and his ability to handle important national affairs was increasingly affected.
At that time, ** was also placed under the jurisdiction of the Chengdu Military Region, and Liang Xingchu's responsibilities were even heavier.
For most of his life, Liang Xingchu dedicated his blood and passion to the liberation and construction of the motherland. Even in times of peace, his love for his homeland is still in full swing, and he is always ready to dedicate his light and heat to the needs of the country.
In 1980, Liang Xingchu took the initiative to apply for retirement from the organization, because he realized that his health was no longer suitable for high-intensity work. His actions fully demonstrate his care for his own body and respect for the organization.
Eventually, the organization approved his retirement request, allowing him to enjoy his old age. He has made many efforts to maintain his good health, and we can praise him for his dedication and perseverance.
After the pace of life slowed down, Liang Xingchu began to recall the bits and pieces of the past and came up with the idea of writing a memoir. In the blink of an eye, in September 1985, the autumn scenery of Beijing was exceptionally beautiful, and Liang Xingchu's new house was finally completed.
However, just as the family was about to move into a new home, Liang Xingchu suddenly contracted a cold, and the family immediately sent him to the hospital. The autumn wind blew, which was a little cooler, and Liang Xingchu and his wife Ren Guilan were not too worried.
After the doctor's careful care**, Liang Xingchu's condition has improved, and his wife Ren Guilan has been by his side to take care of him.
Liang Xingchu stayed in the hospital for a few more days because of his weak health, which coincided with our country's National Day. This festival is naturally celebrated by the whole country, and the whole country is immersed in a festive atmosphere, and Liang Xingchu's physical condition is gradually improving.
During the National Day, Liang Xingchu's attending doctor took turns off normally, and his wife Ren Guilan also returned to the new house to clean up. However, on the very day of October 4, an accident happened.
In the afternoon of the same day, several of Liang Xingchu's friends came to visit him, and they chatted happily for a while. After seeing off his friend, Liang Xingchu returned to the ward to rest and waited for his wife to take him home.
General Liang Xingchu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest and fainted to the ground instantly, but unfortunately, he missed the best rescue time. His attending doctor happened to be on vacation, and no one expected him to die in this way.
General Liang Xingchu failed to say goodbye to his family and his friends, let alone leave a last word. As one of our country's founding generals, his sudden death has caused a lot of speculation, and some believe that it was a medical malpractice caused by the negligence of medical staff.
However, this suggestion was firmly rejected by Ren Guilan, the wife of General Liang Xingchu, who resolutely did not want anyone to autopsy General Liang Xingchu's body.
Please don't dissect, people are far away from us, and dissection can't bring life back to life. His body is covered in scars, so let him leave with his whole body.
Looking at her husband's body, Ren Guilan couldn't cry anymore, but she still hoped to preserve the last dignity for her husband. As Liang Xingchu's wife, Ren Guilan is well aware of his hardships, so her words touched everyone.
Therefore, the state finally respected Ren Guilan's wishes, no longer pursued the matter, and held a grand funeral for Liang Xingchu. It wasn't until Liang Xingchu's death that people found out that there were still a few pieces of shrapnel left in his chest, and this scene made people cry.
General Liang Xingchu's life was dedicated to the motherland, and his glorious deeds deserve to be remembered forever. "
Just as there are countless patriots, the first thing we should do when facing those controversial historical events is to respect great people. History will speak for itself.
