Gao Guizi, an anti-Japanese hero, was responsible for the frontal defense in the Battle of Pingxingguan, and the battle was extremely fierce. The victory of the Eighth Route Army in the Battle of Pingxingguan is also inseparable from his contributions on the frontal battlefield.
Gao Guizi not only performed well in the Anti-Japanese War, but there are two other things that are also worthy of our attention.
Gao Guizi, a person who contributed his plane to resist US aggression and aid Korea. During the entire period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, there were only two people in the country who donated planes in their personal names, and he was one of them.
After the end of the Liberation War, he chose to stay on the mainland to welcome the nascent regime. With the skillful arrangement of underground staff, he was safely evacuated to a foreign hospital in Chongqing and later sent to Beijing.
Soon after, his wife and son were also secretly sent to Beijing. Gao Guizi, who was very grateful to the party and the army, worked day and night for the new China after joining the new regime.
His actions fully demonstrated his patriotic feelings and firm support for the new regime.
Gao Guizi contributed two major things to the country, one was to donate his own real estate to **, and use the money to buy planes to support the Chinese Volunteers after discounting; After the outbreak of the Xi'an Incident, he generously lent Zhang Xueliang as a place to detain Chiang Kai-shek, reflecting his deep patriotic feelings and noble character.
It is worth mentioning that before the Xi'an Incident, Ye Shuai had met with Zhang Xueliang here, and our party contacted Gao Guizi for Ye Shuai's accommodation, and Gao Guizi readily agreed. In other words, Ye Shuai lived in this mansion before the Xi'an Incident.
This mansion made Gao Guizi an important participant in the Xi'an Incident. Throughout the incident, Gao Guizi tried his best to protect the safety of Chiang Kai-shek, Zhou Gong, Ye Shuai and other important Kuomintang officials, and finally witnessed the peaceful resolution of the Xi'an Incident.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, our party invited him to serve as a member of the Northwest Military and Political Commission and vice minister of the Northwest Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, so as to continue to contribute his strength to New China.
On January 6, 1959, Gao Guizi died of illness and was buried in Babaoshan Cemetery.
