Dong Cunrui, this name is believed to be familiar to everyone. He was a hero and martyr in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and is famous for his feat of sacrificing his life to bomb a bunker
His deeds have been compiled into primary and secondary school textbooks, made into movies and TV series, and sung as heroic hymns.
His monument was also erected in Longhua County, Hebei Province, and it was inlaid with the inscription of the Commander-in-Chief for him".Sacrifice yourself for the country and be immortal"Eight big words.
But, you know what? Before the completion of this monument, the local people had a greater wish, that is, to ask *** to write an inscription for Dong Cunrui.
After all, ** is the beloved leader of the people of the whole country, he has written inscriptions for heroes such as Liu Hulan, Zhang Side, Lei Feng, etc., and his inscription is undoubtedly the highest praise and honor for heroes.
However, when a local representative went to Beijing with the expectations of the people of the county, he was politely refused. **Why are you reluctant to give Dong Cunrui an inscription? The reasons behind it are thought-provoking, but they fully reflect the wisdom of the great man.
Dong Cunrui was born on October 15, 1929 in a poor peasant family in Huailai County, Hebei Province. He was smart and studious since he was a child, but because of his family's difficult circumstances, he dropped out of school after only one year of school.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he joined the Children's League and became the head of the Children's League, leading his companions to participate in the anti-Japanese struggle. He once wittily covered the secretary of the district party committee to avoid the pursuit of the invading Japanese army, and was known as ".Anti-Japanese little heroes
In July 1945, Dong Cunrui officially joined the Eighth Route Army and became a soldier of the People's Army. He has served as deputy squad leader and squad leader, with excellent military skills and combat wit and bravery.
In the War of Liberation, he made 3 great merits and 4 small merits, and won 3 "Brave Medals" and 1 "** Medal". In March 1947, he joined the Chinese Communist Party.
After Dong Cunrui's death, he was posthumously recognized as a national combat hero. The 6th Company and 6th Class, where he was alive, was also renamed "".Dong Cunruiban
On the occasion of the second anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dong Cunrui's father, Dong Quanzhong, was invited to climb the Tiananmen Tower to attend the National Day ceremony and personally met with him.
Hold the old man's hand and say, "Your son is a good comrade!" He is a national battle hero! We all have to learn from him! * He also let the old man live in Zhongnanhai and arranged a special car to take him to visit various scenic spots in Beijing. It can be said that ** is very caring and respectful to Dong Cunrui and his family.
On October 18, 1957, the inscription of the ** commander-in-chief for the martyr Dong Cunrui "sacrifice one's life for the country, immortal" 8 gilded characters were inlaid in the completed high 14The front of the 5-meter monument of Dong Cunrui martyrs.
These eight words are a high evaluation of the short but glorious life of martyr Dong Cunrui, inspiring generation after generation of young people. Dong Cunrui's heroic deeds have been compiled into primary and secondary school textbooks, made into movies and TV series, and praised as heroic hymns.
His monument has also become a patriotic education base, and countless tourists and students come here every year to remember and learn.
Dong Cunrui interpreted the original aspiration and mission of the Chinese Communists with his blood and life, and his heroic image of heroic tenacity and death-defying homeness has inspired generation after generation of Chinese to draw strength and forge ahead。We should learn from him, inherit and carry forward his fine traditions, and strive to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In May 1948, in the battle of our army to attack Longhua City, Dong Cunrui's 6th Company was responsible for attacking Longhua Middle School, the key defense point of the Kuomintang defenders.
He served as the leader of the demolition team, and led his comrades to blow up 4 turrets and 5 pillboxes one after another, and successfully completed the task. However, when the company charged, it was blocked by heavy fire from a bridge-shaped bunker of the enemy.
The company sent 3 demomen to blast one after another, but all failed. Dong Cunrui stepped forward and asked the company commander to fight: "I am a member of the Communist Party, please allow me to go!" The company commander approved his request.
Dong Cunrui resolutely picked up the explosive bag and rushed to the dark castle. Along the way, he was frantically strafed by enemy machine gun fire, and he was wounded in the left leg, but he still insisted on moving forward. When he rushed to the bottom of the bridge, he found that the bridge-shaped bunker was more than his height above the ground, and the abutments at both ends could not place explosive packs.
At this moment, a loud charge sounded behind him. Dong Cunrui knew that if he didn't deal with the enemies in the dark fortress, his comrades-in-arms would fall one after another.
So he leaned to the left, stood on the bridge, raised the explosives bag with his left hand, and lit the fuse with his right hand.
He shouted: ".For the sake of New China, rush！After a violent ** sound, the enemy's bunker was blown up, and this 19-year-old little soldier also gave his young life.
Dong Cunrui is a heroic martyr who sacrificed his life to bomb the bunker, and his deeds have touched the people of the whole country and have been praised by the people。However, when the people of Longhua County, Hebei Province wanted to ask *** to write an inscription for Dong Cunrui's monument, they were rejected by ***. Why is that?
It turned out that when he received an application for an inscription for Dong Cunrui's monument, ** refused, saying: "I can't write it properly." * It is believed that the identities of Dong Cunrui and Liu Hulan and others are different, Liu Hulan is a local anti-Japanese hero, while Dong Cunrui is a soldier, and it is reasonable that the army should write an inscription for him.
Therefore, it is recommended to let the commander-in-chief write an inscription for Dong Cunrui.
First of all,We must know that the refusal to give Dong Cunrui an inscription is not because he does not respect Dong Cunrui's heroic deeds
On the contrary, ** admires and cares about Dong Cunrui very much. On October 1, 1951, on the occasion of the second anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dong Cunrui's father, Dong Quanzhong, was invited to attend the National Day ceremony on the Tiananmen Tower and met him in person.
Hold the old man's hand and say, "Your son is a good comrade!" He is a national battle hero! We all have to learn from him! * He also let the old man live in Zhongnanhai and arranged a special car to take him to visit various scenic spots in Beijing. It can be said that ** is very caring and respectful to Dong Cunrui and his family.
So, in that case, why did *** still refuse to give Dong Cunrui an inscription? There are two reasons for this.
On the one hand,It is out of respect for the commander-in-chief。** is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and an outstanding military strategist and revolutionary. He once led major historical events such as the Nanchang Uprising and the Long March, and made great contributions to the Chinese Revolution.
On the other hand,is out of consideration for Dong Cunrui's identity and deeds
Dong Cunrui is a soldier who sacrificed his life for the country on the battlefield. His deeds, while touching, are not particularly outstanding and unique.
In the War of Liberation, there were many heroes like Dong Cunrui, and they all contributed to the country and the people with their lives. If *** only inscribes for Dong Cunrui, and not for other heroes, it will be unfair and unreasonable.
Moreover,Nor do we want to exaggerate individual heroism, but promote collectivism and solidarity
He believes that Dong Cunrui's heroic deeds are the common achievements of all PLA soldiers and the result of the leadership and education of the party and the people, so the commander-in-chief of the PLA should write an inscription for him, which can not only express respect for Dong Cunrui, but also reflect the affirmation and encouragement of the PLA.
Consideration of identity。Dong Cunrui is a soldier, and *** is a political leader, their identities are different, ** is not suitable for him to write an inscription.
** Inscriptions were once given to soldiers, but none of them died on the battlefield, but showed the spirit of serving the people in their peacetime work. Dong Cunrui sacrificed his life to bomb the bunker in battle, and his deeds should be commended by the army leaders.
Status considerations。** The commander-in-chief is the supreme leader of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the father of the Red Army, and he has a deep understanding and admiration for Dong Cunrui's deeds.
His inscription for Dong Cunrui can not only reflect his respect and affirmation, but also reflect the unity and honor of the People's Liberation Army. The refusal to give Dong Cunrui the inscription is also out of respect and trust for the commander-in-chief and the PLA.
Relational considerations。**There is no direct contact with Dong Cunrui, they have not met or communicated. ** The inscription to Dong Cunrui may seem a little stiff and casual.
The commander-in-chief and Dong Cunrui have a common identity and experience, they are both soldiers, both have participated in the revolutionary war, and they all have the same ideals and beliefs. **The commander-in-chief gave Dong Cunrui an inscription, which can better express sincere emotions and deep friendship.
From this incident,We can see the cleverness of ***, and we can also see that *** has strict norms and principles for inscriptions, he will not give inscriptions to anyone at will, but to take into account factors such as identity, status, and relationships
His refusal to give Dong Cunrui the inscription was not out of disrespect or concern for him, but out of respect and trust for the Commander-in-Chief and the PLA.
He expressed not only praise and remembrance of the heroes, but also loyalty and dedication to the country and the people。He used his wisdom and mind to deal with this seemingly simple but complicated matter, reflecting the demeanor and bearing of a great man.
