The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard
In December 1949, just three months after the founding of the People's Republic of China, ** went to the Soviet Union, the leader of the socialist camp, to pay a visit as planned. During this journey to the Soviet Union through the Northeast, Yang Chengwu, commander of the Third Corps, was responsible for escorting *** to Shanhaiguan.
When he returned home from his first trip, Yang Chengwu greeted him again after passing through Shanhaiguan and returned to Beijing with him. On the train back to Beijing, ** called Yang Chengwu to his carriage and talked about Fu Zuoyi easily.
Fu Zuoyi was a famous general of the Kuomintang and one of the best generals. This ragtag general from Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army miraculously became Chiang Kai-shek's commander-in-chief of the North China Suppression during the Liberation War, relying on his outstanding military talent.
Under the leadership of Fu Zuoyi, the North China Suppression General had jurisdiction over four provinces and two cities in North China, becoming a veritable "King of North China", with more than 600,000 troops under his command. Therefore, with Fu Zuoyi's military talent and huge army, if he stubbornly resists, it will bring greater strength to the PLA, slow down the speed of liberating the whole country, and also cause irreparable losses to Beiping, the ancient capital of thousands of years.
Fu Zuoyi, a famous anti-Japanese general, has outstanding military talent and brilliant victories on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. In the later stage of the Liberation War, he led more than 200,000 troops of the Kuomintang to revolt peacefully, and made great achievements in protecting Beijing, the thousand-year-old capital.
Therefore, he was highly valued by *** and ***, was elected as a member of the 1st National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, **People's Committee**, and participated in the founding ceremony of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
In New China, he held important positions such as member of the Military Council and Minister of Water Resources for 23 years. Fu Zuoyi's outstanding contributions and military exploits made him qualified to be reused by New China.
General Fu Zuoyi held an important position in New China, although some comrades expressed discomfort and thought that they were the heroes of the revolution, but they had a clear understanding of this.
On the train, he asked Yang if he had heard such a statement and made it clear that it was not true. He likened the founding of New China and the victory of the revolution to the fact that a very good edifice had been built, and everyone had contributed, including General Fu Zuoyi.
For the complaints of a few people, ** gave an explanation: "The building is empty and meaningless, and there must be good furnishings, sofas, tables, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, flowers, everything is arranged properly, in order to increase the taste and richness of life." ”
He stressed that revolution is better than no revolution, because revolution is the driving force for social progress. Both the old and new revolutions have their own contributions, and it is incorrect to say that the revolution is inferior to no revolution or to counter-revolution.
Some people think that the revolution will be victorious after the founding of New China, and they begin to regard themselves as heroes and think that they should "enjoy" the fruits of the revolution.
In the long revolutionary struggle, the Communist Party of China (CPC) went through hardships and finally established the People's Republic of China in 1949. In this long revolutionary process, there were both the success of the Great Revolution and Chiang Kai-shek's 412 counter-revolution**; There were 10 years of agrarian revolutionary war, as well as the hardships of the Long March and 8 years of the War of Resistance Against Japan; There was also the victory of the Liberation War.
According to incomplete statistics, more than 20 million people died bravely for the sake of New China, of which only 1.96 million have names. Most of the martyrs did not even leave their names, which shows that the victory of the revolution was not easy to come by.
Therefore, after the founding of New China, the Communist Party members of the older generation were all heroes of the founding of the country who had survived a hundred battles and made outstanding meritorious contributions. Perhaps because of the difficulties of the revolution, a small number of people began to consider themselves to be the heroes of the revolution, believing that the new China was bought by them with blood and sacrifice.
The Monument to the People's Heroes stands tall and symbolizes the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people. However, some of our former enemies, the reactionaries, were dissatisfied with the monument to our heroes because of their ignorance and misunderstanding of the revolution.
This view is obviously wrong, because long before the founding of New China, ** was wary of such ideas. On January 31, 1949, Peking was peacefully liberated, which was a major victory of the Chinese revolution.
**foresaw that the Communist Party of China would become the ruling party, so after the peaceful liberation of Beiping, the CCP** made up its mind to set the capital in Beijing and planned to enter Beiping.
However, ** also saw the lesson of Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, who warned everyone not to learn from Li Zicheng, because Li Zicheng finally failed because of his pride in his achievements after entering Beijing.
Therefore, the Monument to the People's Heroes is not only a commemoration of the revolutionary martyrs, but also a promotion and warning of the revolutionary spirit. We should use this as an incentive to keep moving forward and keep fighting.
Under the leadership of Chairman Zheng, the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee emphasized the style of maintaining modesty and prudence and hard work. Even when the revolution was about to be victorious and when he was about to enter Beiping, Chairman always kept a clear head and reminded everyone to always maintain the spirit of hard struggle.
He had a profound understanding of the sentiment of a small number of party comrades who regarded themselves as meritorious heroes, and repeatedly warned them that they must never have the idea of meritorious heroes. He pointed out that it is wrong to despise the late revolution and the uprising of comrades who defected to Chengcheng, and that this sentiment may be due to the bad mentality of self-esteem, self-esteem, and small groupism.
He stressed that qualifications, status, and background cannot be the basis for enjoying the fruits of the victory of the revolution, and everyone should remain humble and work together to build a new China.
In Xibaipo, Chairman ** led the revolutionary contingent to achieve outstanding feats, and their sacrifices were great. But this does not mean that the comrades who participated in the late revolution did not contribute.
As a matter of fact, many comrades who participated in the late revolution even came from behind and stood in a higher position because of their outstanding talents and outstanding achievements. In the history of the party, such examples abound.
The party has never had a law of seniority, and it is very normal for the party to come from behind because of outstanding talent and merit. On October 4, 1939, the "Communist" magazine was launched, and the chairman of the Communist Party wrote a special speech for this purpose, in which he pointed out that the united front, armed struggle, and party building are the three magic weapons of the Communist Party of China to defeat the enemy in the Chinese revolution, and they are also the three main factors.
Therefore, the united front was one of the key factors in the victory of the revolution. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the core of leadership of the Chinese revolution, but the establishment of the broadest united front is one of the important factors in the victory of the Chinese revolution.
Therefore, at all times, we must attach importance to and expand the united front in order to achieve the victory of the revolution.
In the long course of history, the Communist Party of China, with its powerful united forces, has succeeded in building the broadest united front, including all nationalities, democratic classes, democratic parties, mass organizations, overseas Chinese, democratic personages from all walks of life, and other patriotic elements, as well as some local powerful factions in the ruling clique of the Kuomintang.
The establishment of this united front played a key role in the victory of the War of Liberation. Both militarily and politically, the Chinese Communist Party has won broad support.
In the later stages of the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek's military and political position was seriously threatened, and there was also an incident within the Kuomintang. And all this is thanks to the united front established by the Communist Party of China.
The strength of this front enabled the support of the Chinese Communist Party among the workers, peasants, and urban petty bourgeoisie to reach more than 90 percent, and even the national bourgeoisie and other strata did not choose to support Chiang Kai-shek.
This kind of unity is the magic weapon of the Communist Party of China to achieve revolutionary victory, and it is also a principle that must be adhered to after the founding of New China. As *** said: "Politics is to make more friends and fewer enemies." ”
1.* After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was not satisfied with the victory of the revolution, but knew that it would be more difficult to build a new world. In the process of building New China, we need more friends, not just our own revolutionary achievements.
Those who were counter-revolutionaries but later defected to Cheng also have the ability to contribute to the construction of New China. 2.When the People's Republic of China was founded, the Communist Party of China (CPC) inherited not a rich and powerful country, but a country that had endured a century of wars and wars, economic decay, and hardship in people's livelihood.
At that time, China's industrial base was weak, and it was difficult to guarantee even the most basic food and clothing. Therefore, when the Communist Party of China built New China, it lacked almost all necessary conditions, such as technology, industry, capital, and especially talent.
3.* After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did not enjoy the fruits of the revolution, but realized that it would be more difficult to build a new world. In the process of building New China, he advocated the unity of all forces that could be united, including the former counter-revolutionaries.
He believes that these talents can contribute their own strength to the construction of New China. 4.When the People's Republic of China was founded, the Communist Party of China was faced with a daunting task – to build a brand-new country.
Faced with a devastated China, an economy collapsing and people's livelihoods in distress, the Communist Party of China (CPC) is facing a lack of technology, industry, capital, and even more talent. However, we firmly believe that as long as we unite all the forces that can be united, we can build a prosperous and powerful new China.
Those former counter-revolutionaries who joined the revolutionary ranks through uprisings after the founding ceremony also had their excellent side. For example, during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Wu Shaozhou, who served as deputy commander of Huang Wei's Corps, wrote a report entitled "A Study on US Tactics" because of his in-depth understanding of the US military and American-made equipment, systematically proposing a strategy for fighting against the United States.
This report was highly praised and played an important role in the volunteers' understanding of the US military's strategy and tactics and their operations against the US military. At the same time, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, General **, in order to build a modern army, decided to establish a military school in Nanjing.
However, he faced the dilemma of lacking a large number of instructors with specialized knowledge and skills. So, he set his sights on the high-ranking Kuomintang generals who had been defeated by the PLA.
Because he knew that although they were defeated, they were not useless, and their professional knowledge and skills were lacking in many PLA generals. Therefore, during the construction of the Military Academy, General ** transferred nearly 600 former senior Kuomintang officers and senior technicians.
These people eventually trained a large number of outstanding professional military personnel for the PLA.
**Marshal, as one of the best generals from the Kuomintang, Fu Zuoyi has made outstanding contributions to the country and the nation on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and is a veritable famous general of the anti-Japanese war.
After the peaceful uprising, he still made great contributions to the water conservancy construction of New China, served as the Minister of Water Resources for many years, and made great contributions to the water conservancy construction of New China.
Therefore, the open-minded people have been committed to building the broadest united front, uniting the best talents, jointly building a new China, and laying the foundation for China's rise and take-off.
As for the behavior of drawing a small circle and claiming to be a meritorious hero, it has long been severely criticized.
