During the war years, he was one of the brave and fearless marshals, wearing military medals; After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he worked with him to draw a grand diplomatic blueprint for the country as the first leader.
* Greatness, no one can question it. However, a person's greatness lies not only in the glory he has attained, but also in his ability to endure hardships and hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine.
In 1934, the main force of the Red Army began the Long March, and the 24th Division led by Xiang Ying stayed in the Jiangxi-Guangdong border area, shouldering the heavy task of containing the Kuomintang army and covering the retreat of the main force of the Red Army.
However, the enemy's repeated encirclement and suppression made the living space of the ** department continue to shrink, and the feeling of defeat gradually spreads. However, with his perseverance and unwavering faith, he successfully withstood this cruel test.
In the anti-"encirclement and suppression" battle, **'s right leg was unfortunately seriously injured, so ** specially instructed him to have surgery. Although some shrapnel was successfully removed during the operation, the wound has not healed, and pus and blood often flow out, making ** miserable.
* It hurts so much that you can't squeeze out the pus and blood from the wound, so you can only call in the guards for help. While squeezing the pus and blood, the guards also shed tears, and it turned out that the shrapnel that had not been removed from the last operation was also squeezed out this time.
In the stalemate stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, our party decided to open up a battlefield in northern Jiangsu, and in July 1940, ** was ordered to lead the New Fourth Army into the Huangqiao area. However, the 30,000 men of the Kuomintang army followed, while the strength of the New Fourth Army was only 7,000.
There are people within who advocate holding on and waiting for reinforcements, but ** advocate a war. He believed that the Eighth Route Army could not provide operational coordination, but it could cooperate strategically. The war was about to begin, and it was decided to deploy a small number of troops to hold the Yellow Bridge, and the main forces were placed on the flanks, choosing the Kuomintang army all the way to annihilate it, and then expanding the results of the battle.
For Japanese strongholds, it was only necessary to send troops for reconnaissance. Some people expressed concern about this strategy, but the answer was very relaxed, he said: "If we win, we can be sure of the overall situation in northern Jiangsu, and great development will be inevitable." If you lose, it's just a matter of war. ”
In the end, after three days of fierce fighting, the New Fourth Army annihilated a total of 1 enemies10,000 people, successfully implemented this strategy. This battle was an important victory of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu and laid the foundation for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the Battle of Shanghai, our People's Liberation Army took over the entire city with a disciplined image. Even on the first morning when the gunfire faded away, the citizens of Shanghai were still uneasy, but when they opened their homes, they were deeply moved by the sight of PLA soldiers sleeping in their clothes on both sides of the wet road.
This is because before the battle began, **, as the commander of the Third Field Army, clearly put forward the regulations for entering the city, which strictly prohibited PLA soldiers from staying in civilian houses and shops.
He also made a speech in which he stressed the importance of this discipline: "The situation in Shanghai is unique and complex, and we cannot completely copy the experience of the past. These views were finally recognized and encouraged, and the instructions were only 8 words: very good, very good, very good, very good!
* When he was the first mayor of Shanghai after the liberation of the country, he used his own power to transform this once prosperous city of pleasure into a socialist industrial base that was renewed in Vientiane, attracting the attention of the whole world.
In 1954, ** went to Beijing to meet with ***, and he expressed his desire to study at the Marxist-Leninist Institute. However, instead of agreeing, he let him stay.
The chairman was very distressed to find that the prime minister had to deal not only with internal affairs but also with diplomatic work. He intends to make ** the foreign minister and share the burden of ***.
Considering that **'s character, abilities, and eloquence were all very suitable for the position, the chairman decided to let him take over the work of foreign affairs. In order to confirm **'s thoughts, the chairman sent *** to talk to him.
* Readily agreed to visit East Germany, but when he heard that he had to deal with foreign affairs, he began to worry that his temper might affect the country. ** told the *** chairman of *** that he thought ** was very malleable and decided to make him foreign minister.
Despite his apprehension about the decision, he eventually accepted the position.
Rest assured, we will firmly support the convening of this Asian-African Conference! ”
Due to the internal turmoil in Allia and the changing international situation, the 1965 Asian-African Conference could not be held as planned. ** The failure to fulfill the promise has had a certain impact on the diplomatic credibility of our country.
** Dissatisfied with this, he angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense, what nonsense! "In order to make up for the mistake, ** personally went to the prime minister's office to admit his mistake.
In February 1967, the Military Commission of the Communist Party of China held an important meeting, at which several major issues of principle were discussed, including whether the party's leadership was needed, whether all the old cadres should be brought down, and whether the army needed to be stabilized.
In this meeting, the old cadres such as ** launched a-for-tat struggle with **, Kang Sheng, **, etc. ** Insist that it was these old cadres who led the PLA to great victories, and if they were really "big warlords" or "fighting bandits", then how should these victories be explained?
However, shortly after the meeting, ** and Wang Li and others sorted out some so-called materials and made a distorted report to ***. So, on February 19, ** personally convened a meeting of the Politburo, severely criticized **, and others, and decided to let them "take leave to review".
This decision shows that "there can be no doubt that even those veteran cadres who have contributed to the country must be criticized and punished."
In the following month, the Politburo held several meetings and made false accusations against **, Kang Sheng and others, and **Kang Sheng and others escalated the matter and branded it as a "February countercurrent".
*'s son, Haosu Chen, entered the University of Science and Technology of China in the 60s, majoring in radio physics. Although he has always been interested in the humanities, when he filled in the application, ** insisted that he choose science and engineering.
He explained that when he was younger, he also wanted to study science and engineering, but due to the corruption of Chinese society and the difficulties of scientific and technological development at that time, he had to turn to political struggle.
Now, ** believes that scientific and technological talents are essential for large-scale economic construction and national development, so he hopes that his son will be able to study natural sciences. Chen Haosu respected his father's wishes, chose the University of Science and Technology of China, and after graduation, he entered the Seventh Aircraft Department of the Ministry of Aerospace of China.
He believes that political problems have not been solved, and political turmoil has a great impact on the development of science and technology. ** Stressing that political work can also contribute to the country, he stressed that it is not wise to simply launch a political campaign, as it does not solve practical problems and can cause many sequelae.
Before the "Cultural Revolution", he emphasized "red and authoritarian" in colleges and universities, and opposed criticism of the "white authoritarian road" without analysis. * may not have prevented the Decade from happening, but his son kept them in mind and carried them through into his own actions.
Chen Haosu later served as the secretary of the Communist Youth League, deputy secretary of the Fengtai District Party Committee, deputy mayor of Beijing Municipal People's Committee, deputy director of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, vice president of the Chinese Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, and president of the Chinese Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
Since July 1970, the rebels' criticism and torture of ** have left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he often faints with abdominal pain. Since he was sent to Shijiazhuang and could not seek medical treatment at any time, he called Huang Yongsheng in the hope of returning to Beijing for examination.
However, Huang Yongsheng ruthlessly rejected his request and warned the head of the hospital not to accept **. His wife Zhang Qian could only ask *** for help, and immediately arranged** to return to Beijing after being shocked.
However, the hospital refused to admit him on the grounds that there were no beds, and it was actually Huang Yongsheng who was hospitalized. In the end, the hospital reluctantly accepted Huang Yongsheng after he was discharged**, but his condition was not treated in a timely manner** because the medical staff were asked to stay away from him.
**After learning of this, immediately coordinate and arrange**'s surgery. After the surgery, the doctors were shocked to find that the abdominal pain and fainting were due to colon cancer, and that the cancer cells had spread to the liver.
This sad event teaches us that for any disease, timely ** is the most important.
On the evening of January 2, 1972, ** received a call from the hospital, reporting that ** was in good spirits, and he should have felt relieved, but he could not erase a trace of "returning to the light" in his heart.
He immediately rushed to the hospital. However, on the afternoon of January 4, ** fell into a coma, and although he was slightly conscious after being rescued, his wife and children stayed by his bedside, saw his lips move slightly, and leaned forward, ** muttered: "Keep moving forward." Defeat the enemy.
*'s life is full of legends, and he led his troops to withstand severe tests in guerrilla warfare in the South, enduring great physical pain, and showing his tenacity.
In the Battle of Huangqiao, he even risked a decisive battle with the enemy, and finally achieved a brilliant victory, showing his courage to move forward.
After the liberation of Shanghai, he resolutely ordered the army not to stay in private houses and shops, showing his noble character and adherence to discipline. After moving from marshal to diplomat, he became an outstanding representative of the diplomatic field with his bold personality and outstanding eloquence.
Although his inadvertent gaffe at the Asian-African meeting had some impact on China's diplomatic reputation, it was not concealed. In addition, he also taught his son not to engage in empty politics and attach great importance to the development of science and technology.
However, **'s later years were full of challenges and illnesses, and in "**", he suffered from false criticism and **, and even developed colon cancer. But he still faced the pain with tenacity, and finally ended his life with a spirit of overcoming difficulties.
