At the founding ceremony, who stood behind Grandpa Mao and wore a top hat
At the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, a group of ideological and advanced revolutionary pioneers gathered in front of Tiananmen Square to witness the course of history. Among them, the most eye-catching are several well-known people standing next to Grandpa Mao when the national flag is raised, and among them, there is a young man wearing a black top hat who looks a little special.
His face is unfamiliar to other patriots, and judging only by his facial features, he appears to be a man of an ethnic minority. Perhaps for most people, he is not widely known, but his contribution cannot be ignored.
He was Saifuding who made outstanding contributions to the national liberation of Xinjiang in the early days of New China.
Saifuding was one of the first revolutionary pioneers to embrace advanced ideas, and at the age of 20 he resolutely went to the Soviet Union to receive a communist education. He was well aware that at this critical moment, the party and the people were at a critical juncture for their survival, so during his study in the Soviet Union, he always encouraged himself to study hard, strive to return to China at an early date, and contribute his strength to the motherland.
In the Soviet Union, he not only became a communist fighter, but also actively propagated the advanced ideas he learned to his compatriots in Xinjiang. However, when Saifuding returned to Xinjiang and was ready to carry forward communism, he was blocked by local warlords.
The warlord Sheng Shicai took tough measures against him, even exiled him to a foreign border. However, as a revolutionary, Saifuding's will was as strong as a rock, and he was determined to bring the local people out of their predicament.
In order to resist the local warlord forces, he did not hesitate to be imprisoned by the warlord Sheng Shicai, which is a manifestation of his firm belief and courageous behavior as a revolutionary.
Saifuding's influence was unmatched among the people, so after he **, the people spontaneously marched to demand his release, and the local warlords had to compromise. This made Saifuding realize the power of the people and realize that only revolution can save Xinjiang.
At this time, he saw the communist revolution initiated by Grandpa Mao, and was deeply attracted by the idea of ***, believing that only it could save China. Influenced by Mao's grandfather, Saifuding joined the Communist Party of China and actively participated in the affairs of the Communist Party, laying the foundation for the revolution in Yili.
In 1944, Xinjiang was oppressed by the warlord Sheng Shicai, and Saifuding was also ready for revolution. When Sheng Shicai planned to expropriate horses from the peasants, Saifuding launched a revolution that changed the history of Xinjiang in the Three Regions.
Saifuding is the pride of the people of Xinjiang, and Grandpa Mao spoke highly of him. At the commendation meeting, Grandpa Mao awarded him the title of progressive youth and entrusted him with the most important position.
With the liberation of Xinjiang in 1949, Saifuding became a well-known hero in Xinjiang and was invited by Grandpa Mao to participate in the founding ceremony. Saifuding, who stood behind Grandpa Mao to attend the celebration, expressed his trust in Grandpa Mao and his commitment to the party and the people, and will go all out to dedicate himself to the party and the people in the future.
After the celebration, Saifuding returned to Xinjiang, and although the liberation has been achieved, there are still unstable factors affecting the lives of the people. The imperialist forces are eyeing Xinjiang, and the presence of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is a necessary condition for the complete liberation of Xinjiang.
In order to help the People's Liberation Army quickly liberate Xinjiang, he mobilized all the people of Xinjiang to provide food and supplies, and made great contributions to the liberation of Xinjiang.
His behavior stemmed from his deep love for the party and the people. Thanks to his unremitting efforts, the people of Xinjiang, who had suffered so much, were finally completely liberated and realized a harmonious life today.
After the liberation, Saifuding was entrusted with important tasks many times because of his outstanding performance, all of which stemmed from the endless trust of the party and the people in him, and believed that under his management, Xinjiang would have a brighter future.
In 1955, Saifuding was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, which was an affirmation and recognition of his outstanding contributions to Xinjiang and China over the past decades.
Saifuding has an eternal spirit, he is a hero of the stability and reunification of the motherland, and a lovely person worthy of our eternal memory. It is precisely because China has countless patriotic pioneers who have dedicated their lives to the party and the people like Comrade Saifuding that we have a happy life today.
They are our national heroes who deserve our eternal admiration and learning.
