About Xu Shiyou, the founding general, he is known as the "Commander of the Big Knife" and the "Shaolin General".

He was a brave general on the battlefield, and off the battlefield he was a dutiful eldest son who knelt down to his mother seven times.

When people talk about this veteran, they always feel that his life is legendary. But no matter what kind of person he is, his selfless dedication to the New China Revolution, his loyalty to the people and the party, and his great contributions to the people cannot be erased.

In 1955, at the award ceremony, Xu Shiyou was awarded the rank of general. For a military man, such an honor is paramount.

Xu Shiyou got the rank of general is already quite high, but when he asked his friend **: If you participate in the award, what rank will you get? ".

* but generously replied: "I don't know what rank I will get, but it will definitely be ahead of you." This answer made both of them laugh.

So, who is it? Why did he dare to say that his military rank would be above Xu Shiyou?

Born as a child laborer in the mine, a change in fate.

In 1909, like ***, ** was also born in Hunan, the holy land of the revolution, but he was born in Yanjiachong, Beixiang, Liling County.

* Families have not escaped the fate of poverty. In those turbulent times, even livelihoods became an issue.

Faced with poor harvests and hungry children, the parents had to flee the famine.

* When he was seven years old, he and his family began a journey to escape the famine. They fled the wilderness in search of a place to stay.

Although living in poverty, the father of ** never let the children be spiritually poor. He often uses what he has experienced to teach children how to behave.

Especially in the face of money and fame, the father of ** set the right example for ** with his own experience.

*'s father, Geng Chunan, also has a certain reputation in the local area, and his "tiger head and double ditch" skills are unmatched.

Someone once invited him to be the head of the regimental training team, but Geng Chunan resolutely rejected this proposal that violated his conscience because he knew that the man was not doing serious things.

This incident made a deep impression on **. In his father, he saw a great image of defying power, sticking to principles, and being brave and resolute.

* Integrating these lessons into his own life, it was the little influence of his parents that set him on the path of fighting for justice.

In 1916, at the age of seven, ** worked as a child laborer in the lead and zinc mines in Shuikoushan, Changning County.

The work in the mines was not easy, and the workers were often oppressed.

In the eyes of the factory director, the workers were nothing more than cattle and horses, their working hours were arbitrarily extended, their wages were unreasonably deducted, and the lives of the workers were despised.

In 1926, mine directors who became increasingly excessive forced child laborers to perform dangerous work. In order to protect these child laborers, 17-year-old ** led hundreds of child laborers to revolt.

The uprising was suppressed by the reactionary Mining Bureau, and the workers who participated in the uprising were beaten. But ** and his companions were undaunted and resolutely resisted.

It wasn't until the workers' pickets arrived in time that the leaders of the mine fled one after another.

Under the leadership of **, the uprising achieved a preliminary victory. At the workers' insistence, the Bureau of Mines had to agree to the workers' eighteen-point demand. The nearly month-long strike campaign has finally come to an end.

This was the first time that the workers had fought for their own interests through their own efforts. This movement made ** realize that there is only one way to make the people truly masters of their own country.

In this workers' strike movement, the performance of ** attracted great attention from *** and prompted him to realize more deeply the necessity of revolution.

With the deepening of revolutionary thinking, he strengthened his belief that revolution is the correct road.

When the revolutionary tide was surging, ** joined the revolutionary armed struggle, became a guerrilla leader, led the peasant Red Guards to carry out guerrilla warfare, and provided support for the main forces of the Red Army.

In August 1928, at the age of 19, he joined the Communist Party of China. However, the situation at that time was complicated, and Chiang Kai-shek's defection damaged the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

After many failures in the fight against "encirclement and suppression", at the suggestion of ***, the Red Army began a strategic shift and embarked on the famous Long March.

In the Long March, the team led by ** performed bravely and became the pioneer of the Long March team. They reconnoitred at the front, creating convenient conditions for the passage of the main forces.

In the Battle of Xiangjiang, the performance of ** was particularly prominent. This battle was of great significance for the survival of the Red Army.

The ferocity of the fighting was unimaginable. In round after round of fierce battles, the soldiers of the Red Fourth Regiment even fought hand-to-hand with their fists. The water of the Xiangjiang River is dyed red, and the locals have a saying: "Don't drink the water of the Xiangjiang River for three years, don't eat Xiangjiang fish for ten years".

* The Red Fourth Regiment led by the Red Army was fearless in the face of the heavy encirclement of the enemy's fifteen regiments. He ignored his own life and death, and in his heart, the victory of the revolution was above all else.

Under the murderous eyes, there is a fiery heart for the victory of the revolution and a firm belief: "Take my saber", for a moment, it seems to see Guan Erye, who single-handedly passed five levels and killed six generals.

With an order, the handsome army rushed into the enemy army, the gods blocked and killed the gods, the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddhas, and where the blades passed, blood was splashed.

The soldiers saw such a **, all of them were red-eyed, relying on this tenacious perseverance, stimulated the combat effectiveness to the peak, and blocked the enemy for five days and nights, and the main force was able to evacuate safely.

After experiencing the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the revolutionary life of the first class became richer and richer, and there were more and more achievements.

In particular, in the entire War of Liberation, nearly a dozen battles of all sizes were counted, with outstanding achievements and brilliant military achievements, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they made great contributions to New China.

During the war, he carried a gun and a knife, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and was also a brave and good general, and even the generals in the Kuomintang who could play horses were apprehensive.

Walking into the era of peace, it is not that there is no battlefield, but that the battlefield is in a place where you can't see, and it is a battlefield without gunpowder, international diplomacy.

In 1950, the newly founded People's Republic of China gradually opened up the diplomatic situation with other countries in the world, but the key problem it faced was the extreme lack of diplomatic talents.

*I was temporarily pushed to ***.,I originally felt that I couldn't do this job.,But when I learned that *** and *** both thought that they could do a good job.** I also had confidence.**

There is a saying in China: "Gold can shine anywhere", this sentence is used to describe **, which is really accurate.

I just thought that I could do the job, but I didn't expect him to do it so well.

In the face of new fields and new things, ** quickly found his rhythm.

You can also wear a neat new outfit, wear a delicate tie, and sit elegantly with foreigners, drink red wine, eat steak, and chat about the international situation and the diplomacy of the two countries.

He has served as diplomatic ambassadors in Sweden, Pakistan, Myanmar, Albania and other countries, and has been in a foreign country to convey the signal of friendship and cooperation between the two countries through friendly exchanges with other countries.

Behind diplomacy, there is also an undercurrent of relations between countries, but no matter how it changes, China's diplomatic principles will never change, which is a symbol of national independence and sovereignty.

It was on such a battlefield without gunpowder smoke that he fought in this post for more than 20 years.

In October 1951, Geng Biao (third from right) and his wife Zhao Lanxiang (second from right) received guests at the Embassy in Sweden.

At the 1955 investiture ceremony, others were still on diplomatic missions abroad and did not participate in the ceremony.

When Xu Shiyou, a friend who was awarded the title of general, asked himself: "If I participate in the award ceremony, what military rank will I be awarded", although he joked: "I must be ahead of you", but talking about the countless outstanding contributions he made in the revolutionary cause is indeed worthy of going down in history.

In 1978, when he was nearly seventy years old, the martyr was in his twilight years, and he was full of strength "The self-defense counterattack against Vietnam began, and this veteran once again stepped out and stepped into the position of commanding the operation, and it was his old friend who was on the front line, Xu Shiyou, who was in command again after the age of old.

Not only is he fighting a war while he is sick, but he is not only a diplomat, but in 1981, at the age of seventy-two, he served as the Minister of National Defense, devoting himself to the country's national defense cause, and he was still able to do this job well from a layman.

In life, although he is in a high position, his heart has always been among the masses, and he has always put the people's livelihood at the core, often encouraging his family, donating some daily necessities to poor areas, and aiding construction funds, especially for education in poor areas, and ensuring people's livelihood.

In the family, he is a strict father, and he has told them to be independent since he was a child in the education of his children, and the most common word he said to his children is probably the word "no".

Refusing to use their relationships to find a way out for their children is a taboo, and when children rely on their own abilities to break through in their respective fields, this is the proudest thing.

Under the education of the first, the children have devoted themselves to the industry that can contribute to the country and the people, one became a soldier to defend the country, one practiced medicine, saved lives and helped the wounded, and one stepped onto the three-foot podium to teach and educate people.

In 2000, this famous revolutionary, a member of the Communist Party, and a public servant of the people, was frozen in his life at the age of 91.
