In the vast river of Chinese history, there is a figure of a military strategist, his name is Su Yu. Let's walk into his story together, a magnificent career, full of honors and misunderstandings, showing the complex face of an era.
In 1907, in Huaihua, Hunan, a baby who would change history in the future was born, his name was Su Yu. As a teenager, he was educated in the academy and had a dream and love for the country in his heart. In 1926, this young man joined the Communist Party of China, officially starting his revolutionary career, which was destined to leave an indelible mark on China's military history.
Su Yu, unlike ordinary civilians, showed rare military talent during the Shonan Uprising. He successively established base areas in southern Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu, maritime and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, making the New Fourth Army as solid as a steel nail and making the enemy look at the river and sigh. He was not only a strategist, but also an educator. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Public School he founded selflessly imparted military knowledge and trained a large number of modern combat talents for the army.
During the War of Liberation, Su Yu's leadership skills were fully demonstrated. Especially in the Huaihai Campaign, as one of the commanders-in-chief, he planned a beautiful victory, directly shattered the enemy's illusions, and made a key contribution to the victory of the Liberation War. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was still active in the military field, participated in the guidance of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and put forward a series of valuable proposals for the building of a modern army.
However, luck was not good, and an enlarged meeting of the Military Commission in 1958 became a turning point in Su Yu's life. The meeting was meant to be a critique of individualism and dogmatism, and Su Yu, a military impeccable general, appeared to be somewhat stubborn in his interpersonal interactions. At the end of the meeting, he was branded as a "bourgeois extreme individualist" and accused of "discord with the generals", "exceeding his authority", and "communicating with foreign countries". The impact of this meeting on him was enormous, and he was demoted, removed, and even wrote multiple reviews. Despite this, ** later came forward to defend him and alleviate his situation.
However, that "hat" still accompanied him for the rest of his life. In 1978, ** decided to rehabilitate some unjust, false and wrongful cases, and Su Yu's case was also among them. Ye Shuai, **and even later *** paid attention to them one by one, hoping to take off this "hat" for him. Su Yu himself has written several letters of appeal, but none of them have been resolved. There are rumors that it is because he offended the former leader Wei Guoqing, but in fact, the two have cooperated and there is no discord. The delay in the materials in the General Political Department is more due to the fact that the case involves a large number of people and insufficient evidence.
In 1984, Su Yu died of illness and did not see the day he was rehabilitated. The life of this old revolutionary is full of glory and misunderstanding, but the eyes of the masses are clear. His ability and personality have long been known, and even small flaws will not affect our respect and remembrance of him.
Su Yu, this name, is like a light in history, shining on the road ahead, and his story will be remembered forever.
