ChairmanThe question Liu Hulan refused to be Dong Cunrui's question, because: It is not appropriate for me to write.
** Countless inscriptions in his life, for newspapers, schools, museums, tombstones, etc., are all his ink treasures. He respected heroes, paid attention to martyrs, and often wrote inscriptions for revolutionary martyrs, such as "serving the country with loyalty" to Zhang Zizhong, "the greatness of life, the glory of death" to Liu Hulan, "serving the people" to Zhang Side, "saving the dead and helping the wounded, practicing revolutionary humanitarianism" to Bethune, and "learning from Comrade Lei Feng" to Lei Feng.
According to rough statistics, he wrote inscriptions for specific people no less than dozens of people, and some also wrote more than once, he wrote inscriptions for Liu Hulan twice, and Xie Zichang inscriptions three times, leaving many good stories.
Among these inscriptions, some of the martyrs are very famous, some are unknown, and most of them are inscribed by him out of admiration for the heroic deeds and praise of the spirit of the martyrs.
However, there was a well-known revolutionary martyr, when the local cadres represented the local 220,000 people** and repeatedly asked *** to write inscriptions for the martyrs, ** unexpectedly refused.
This revolutionary martyr is Dong Cunrui, who sacrificed his life to bomb the bunker. Dong Cunrui, one of the six classic martyrs of the People's Liberation Army, a national combat hero, and a model Communist Party member.
Compared with Zhang Side and Lei Feng, his deeds seem to be more prominent. However, in the face of such a revolutionary martyr who shocked the whole army, and he was also the ** of 220,000 hometown people, why did he refuse?
The story begins in 1956.
In the winter of 1956, Longhua County received a request from the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, hoping to build a cemetery and monument to the martyr Dong Cunrui to commemorate this heroic revolutionary martyr.
With the approval of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the project was able to start quickly. In the process of preparing for the monument, the cadres and masses of Longhua County thought of asking for an inscription.
** is a great leader of the people, calligraphy attainments are high, for Dong Cunrui inscription is of great significance. So, Comrade Ji Xingpo of the Civil Affairs Section of the Longhua County People's Committee went to Beijing alone with the letter from the county party committee and the county people's committee, and asked for an inscription for Dong Cunrui.
Ji Xingpo first took the county's letter of introduction to Chengde Prefecture to exchange letters, then to Baoding, the capital of Hebei Province at that time, to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee to exchange letters, and finally to Zhongnanhai.
After arriving in Zhongnanhai, he was received by a cadre of the ** General Office. Ji Xingpo explained his intentions, and the other party asked the leader and told him to come back next Wednesday, so Ji Xingpo had to stay at the Zhengtai Hotel in Beijing Jewelry Market Street and wait patiently.
On Wednesday, Jixingpo went back on time. The comrades of the Central Office handed him a letter and asked him to take the letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Government Council to find it, but he did not clearly say whether he had agreed or not.
Then, Ji Xingpo came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and met Xie Jueya, Minister of the Interior.
Ji Xingpo gave Director Zou a detailed introduction to Dong Cunrui's heroic deeds and the construction of Dong Cunrui's martyr cemetery in Longhua County, and expressed his own wish - hoping to ask *** to write an inscription for Dong Cunrui.
Director Zou attaches great importance to Ji Xingpo's request and promises to handle it as soon as possible. After Ji Xingpo returned to the hotel, he had been waiting for good news. However, a few days passed and there was no news.
He decided to take the initiative to ask Director Zou about the situation. Director Zou told him that the leaders had not yet made a decision, and suggested that Ji Xingpo go back to the county first and wait. Ji Xingpo understood that the leader's schedule was busy, but he still called the county and told them that he had been waiting in Beijing for a few days.
The county advised him to wait a little longer, as the cemetery expansion had not yet begun. So, Ji Xingpo decided to stay in Beijing and continue to wait. Time passed, and at the end of the first lunar month, in February 1957, there was still no news from the Ministry of the Interior.
Ji Xingpo couldn't help but come to the Youfu Division again to inquire about the situation. Director Zou told him that the leaders already knew about it, but had not yet made a decision, and that they would need to wait a little longer.
Although Ji Xingpo was a little disappointed, he still believed that the leaders would make a decision as soon as possible. It didn't take long for the county to call him and tell him that after the beginning of spring, the construction of the cemetery was about to begin, and he needed to go back to the county to prepare.
So, Ji Xingpo returned to Longhua with regrets.
In April 1957, preparations for the expansion of the cemetery were ready, but the inscription from Beijing had not been followed, so Ji Xingpo decided to go to Beijing again.
This time, he went with Liu Xianrong, the head of the county education department. They visited the department for the fourth time, and the other party said: "The leadership has not yet made a decision, but it will be facilitated as soon as possible." ”
In addition to the inscription, Ji Xingpo also had a task on this trip, that is, to coordinate the marble required for the monument to the martyr Dong Cunrui. While he was waiting for the inscription in Beijing, he was also dealing with the matter of the monument marble.
It just so happened that Beijing was building a monument to the people's heroes at that time, and Ji Xingpo found Li Chen, director of the construction committee, and introduced to him the deeds of Dong Cunrui and the situation of the monument.
Li Chen, who was born in the Red Army, was deeply moved after hearing this, and he immediately expressed his strong support and signed and approved the procedures of "presenting a piece of Longhua monument". A week later, the marble was basically implemented, and Ji Xingpo waited for a few days, and finally waited for good news: the inscription was ready.
He rushed to the Youfu Division, and Director Zou solemnly handed over a 16-carat inscription to Ji Xingpo. Ji Xingpo excitedly unfolded the inscription and saw 8 big characters: "Sacrifice yourself for the country and be immortal."
But before he could finish his excitement, he saw the inscription: "*May 29, 1957". * Ji Xingpo was stunned for a moment: The people of the county asked for an inscription, how did the inscription become Commander-in-Chief Zhu?
At that time, ** was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and vice president of the People's Republic of China, and his prestige was also very high. If they knew from the beginning that it was the inscription of Commander-in-Chief Zhu, they would have accepted it, but the people of 22 Bandunghua have always expected it to be the inscription of the first class, they are looking forward to it day and night, and what they are looking forward to is also the first-class inscription, and it is indeed difficult to accept it if it is replaced by the resignation of Commander-in-Chief Zhu all of a sudden.
Ji Xingpo asked Director Zou: "Why didn't you give Dong Cunrui an inscription?" "Dong Cunrui's deeds are well deserved, ** I have personally understood and admired his heroic deeds.
Dong Cunrui was born in 1929 in a poor peasant family in Nanshanbao, Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, and went to school for only a few days when he was 7 years old, but dropped out because he could not pay the tuition fees.
Although his family is poor, he has great ambitions, and he has set up the ambition of serving the country loyally since he was a child. In 1937, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out and the Japanese army attacked North China on a large scale, Dong Cunrui witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese army and decided to join the army to fight devils.
At the age of 13, he joined the Children's Corps and was elected as its commander, responsible for organizing progressive children to send sentry and intelligence. Dong Cunrui was clever and bold, and he covered Wang Ping, secretary of the district party committee and director of the Armed Forces Committee, and was known as the "little hero of the anti-Japanese resistance" and "Wang Erxiao of Nanshan Fort".
Wang Ping liked Dong Cunrui very much, often lived in his house, and told him many stories of the Eighth Route Army's heroic resistance against Japan, which stimulated Dong Cunrui's anti-Japanese enthusiasm. Wang Ping was later hunted down by the enemy for betrayal of a traitor, he pulled a grenade and died with the enemy, Dong Cunrui heard the bad news, filled with grief and anger, and resolutely joined the militia.
Finally in the spring of 1945, 16-year-old Dong Cunrui realized his dream of joining the army and became a glorious soldier.
In Dong Cunrui's military career, he repeatedly charged forward with his incomparably heroic fighting spirit and fearless spirit of sacrifice, and won many combat exploits, including three major and four small merits, and also won three bravery medals and one medal, and also became a squad leader and joined the Communist Party of China.
When he wore the *** medal on his chest, he was filled with strength inside, but he probably did not expect that he would connect with the great leader *** in a special way.
In May 1948, Dong Cunrui's unit participated in the Battle of Jirecha. In the general attack in the early morning of the 25th, the artillery fire of our army successfully suppressed the enemy's fire, and the red flag of victory was planted on the summit of Moss Mountain and occupied the commanding heights.
However, the enemy, with its strong fortifications, still resisted stubbornly in the county. At 3:30 p.m., when the troops launched a charge towards Longhua Middle School, the enemy's bunker set up on a bridge suddenly **, and the fierce fire swept over like a torrential rain, suppressing the soldiers under a dirt slope and unable to raise their heads.
This bunker is very hidden, the firepower is extremely fierce, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the soldiers have been beaten back several times, and the number of ** is increasing. When Dong Cunrui saw this situation, he was anxious and immediately asked the company commander to fight and asked to blow up this dark fort.
The company commander hesitated: "It's too dangerous, and you've already completed the blasting mission several times, so I can't always let you go to the .......""Company commander! Let me go! I am a member of the Communist Party and should take the lead!
My mission is not just to blow up a few bunkers. Besides, Longhua has not been liberated yet, how can it be regarded as completing the task? Even if I'm the only one left, I have to complete the mission! ”
Before the company commander finished speaking, Dong Cunrui hurriedly said. The company commander discussed with the instructor and agreed to his request.
Dong Cunrui, 18 years old, sacrificed himself to bomb the bunker, leaving only a pair of half-cut cloth shoes. His heroic deeds have touched countless people and become a role model. At the cost of his life, Dong Cunrui won the road to victory for us.
His spirit will always be remembered by history.
According to Dong Cunrui's deeds, ** should have written an inscription for him, but surprisingly, after learning about Dong Cunrui's deeds, he made an unexpected decision: he suggested that Commander-in-Chief Zhu should write the inscription.
After listening to Director Zou's explanation, Ji Xingpo still couldn't understand: "*Haven't you already inscribed for Liu Hulan?" Why not ask Dong Cunrui for it? He asked, confused.
Director Zou patiently explained: "This matter, ** has already been explained. Liu Hulan is the masses, and Dong Cunrui is a soldier, so it is more appropriate to ask Commander-in-Chief Zhu to write an inscription.
That is why it was finally Commander-in-Chief Zhu who came to write the inscription. Hearing this, Ji Xingpo suddenly brightened up and realized that it was not unwillingness not to write an inscription for Dong Cunrui, but out of the overall situation and respect for Commander-in-Chief Zhu.
This kind of comprehensive consideration just reflects the great importance attached to Dong Cunrui. So, he immediately returned to Longhua and handed in the inscription. Initially, the Longhua County Party Committee was puzzled as to why the inscription of Commander-in-Chief Zhu was handed back, but after Ji Xingpo's explanation, everyone understood the good intentions of the Emperor and accepted it gladly.
Today, the high 14The front of the 5-meter Dong Cunrui Martyrs Monument is inlaid with eight golden characters inscribed for Dong Cunrui's martyrs, "Sacrifice yourself for the country and be immortal", which is the handwriting of Commander-in-Chief Zhu.
** wisdom and consideration worthy of his greatness. Although he left many inscriptions, he rarely wrote inscriptions for PLA soldiers, which shows his prudence and precision.
For those warriors with his inscriptions, such as Liu Hulan and Zhang Side, they all have special backgrounds and meanings. Liu Hulan is not a PLA soldier, but her heroic deeds and dedication are still praised by ***.
Zhang Side is ***'s guard, he died in the line of duty, but *** emphasizes his spirit of serving the people. Similarly, Lei Feng was also a soldier, but his sacrifice was not on the battlefield, but because of his kindness and selflessness.
** Advocate learning from Lei Feng because he sees Lei Feng's spirit of serving the people. The sacrifices of these fighters were not accidental, but because of their selfless dedication and love for the people.
Therefore, the principle and proportionality of treating people and things are all based on the development of the cause of the party and the state and the interests of the masses of the people. He saw the selfless dedication of the fighters, and their spirit is a common phenomenon among the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and deserves praise and commendation.
Therefore, the best person to honor these fighters is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Liberation Army**. This fully reflects his wisdom and prudence, as well as his policy decisions for the cause of the party and the country and the interests of the people.
Despite the numerous inscriptions, he was never rash and would not grant all requests. His refusal to give Dong Cunrui an inscription is the embodiment of his cleverness.
