Dai Jinchuan: The General Logistics Department, which is an outstanding talent in the field of logistics of the PLA, has always been a vital department in the PLA, and was initially called the General Logistics Department until 1960, when it was officially renamed the General Logistics Department.
During his tenure as minister of this important department, Qiu Huizuo promoted Dai Jinchuan to the post of deputy political commissar of the General Logistics Department and became his close confidant. Dai Jinchuan was born in 1918 and is a native of Hebei.
He joined the Chinese Communist Party on the eve of the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, and subsequently joined the Eighth Route Army and showed extraordinary performance. In between the war, he was not only the captain of the basketball team, but also a veteran who made meritorious contributions.
On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in the takeover of the Japanese puppet army in Shuoxian County and achieved a major victory, contributing to the expansion of the liberated area. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dai Jinchuan participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and accumulated rich experience in logistics on the Korean battlefield.
After returning to China, he served as the dean of the PLA Logistics College and became an outstanding talent in the field of logistics of our army. In 1955, Dai Jinchuan became the first officer of the People's Liberation Army to be awarded the rank of founding colonel, beginning his journey of excellence in the army.
After Qiu Huizuo took a fancy to his outstanding talent in logistics work, Dai Jinchuan was promoted to deputy political commissar and director of the Political Department of the General Logistics Department in 1968 and began to participate in the management of the political work of the General Logistics Department.
Although he had a wealth of practical experience and excellent theoretical literacy, Dai Jinchuan was also implicated due to Qiu Hui's quarantine review, and was eventually removed from his post in 1971. Subsequently, he retired from politics and retired into retirement.
Despite making mistakes in a particular period, Dai Jinchuan failed to receive any medals, which became a regret in his later years. In 2000, Dai Jinchuan died of illness at the age of 82, ending his ordinary and remarkable life.
