In 1958 a campaign against dogmatism was launched in the army.
During this campaign, four highly decorated founding generals were wrongly criticized and all were removed from their current positions, which had a huge impact on their lives. One can't help but feel sad about it.
One of these highly respected marshals was ***At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** took the initiative to resign from the administrative position he held to run a school, and he became the dean of the Nanjing Military Academy. Nanjing Military Academy is called"The stronghold of dogmatism"。
In 1958, ***, who was recuperating from illness, rushed to Beijing with illness and stayed awake all night.
At that time, the ** marshal was already 66 years old and walked up to the rostrum with the support of others. The upright and kind old marshal had no choice but to make an inspection at the congress against his will. As a result of this campaign, ** ended his duties as president of the Nanjing Military Academy.
** The first marshal to be wrongly criticized after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the longest-lived marshal, he died in 1986 at the age of 94.
Another great general, he is the military commander of the East China Field Army Su Yu, he has fought countless times and is the first hero of the Huaihai Campaign in the eyes of ***, and he is also a genius who commands a large corps to fight. He served as Chief of the General Staff at that time.
It was also in the dreary summer of 1958 that Su Yu was detained"Bourgeois individualism"hats, which have been wrongly criticized. Under pressure, Su Yu confessed to the charges imposed on him and underwent a ruthless examination.
However, Su Yu could not write such an examination, and he asked his wife Chu Qing**. In this case, he could not pass the exam without writing. This criticism had a great impact on Su Yu's life.
He was relieved of his post as Chief of the General Staff and was banned from contact with the army again. As the first general of the founding of the country, he disappeared from people's sight and entered the Academy of Military Sciences to work silently. An old subordinate of Su Yu once said that Su Yu has always been a wasted talent.
In his later years, Su Yu served as vice chairman of the National People's Congress and died of illness in 1984. In addition to *** and Su Yu, two other founding generals were also implicated in anti-dogmatism, one of them was the first-ranked general and the other was the second-ranked general.
The first-ranked general was Xiao Ke, who had served as deputy commander of the North China Military Region and chief of staff of the Fourth Field Army, and the second-ranked general was Li Da, who was the senior chief of staff of Liu Deng's army. Xiao Ke and Li Da have two identities in common; They are all deputy ministers of defense and deputies of ***.
They also all serve in the General Directorate of Training, one as a minister and the other as a deputy minister. The General Directorate of Training is called"Dogmatic command"。Xiao Ke and Li Da were both beaten"Representatives of the bourgeois military line"。
Xiao Ke couldn't stand this stimulation and gulped on the way back to the office, and in the face of strong pressure, he had to make an unreasonable examination and admit his guilt. Shaw also disappeared from sight.
In his later years, Xiao served as vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference and died in 2008 at the age of 102. Xiao Ke was one of the first founding generals to be criticized after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he was also one of the longest-lived generals.
As a result of this criticism, both Li Da and Xiao Ke were relieved of their positions in the Ministry of Defense and the General Directorate of Training. After being idle for a period of time, Li Da took the initiative to write a letter to **, saying that he was an idle person and took the initiative to ask for work.
Marshal **, the veteran leader who was the vice premier and director of the State Sports Commission at the time, knew his old subordinates very well, and suggested to him that Li Da be appointed as the deputy director of the State Sports Commission. Li Da disappeared from the limelight for many years, becoming deputy chief of the General Staff in 1972 and dying in 1993 at the age of 88.
