When assessing the military rank, Chen Qihan did not hesitate to fill in the word "lieutenant general", and he explained that with the success of the revolution, the status of the individual and the gains and losses became very small.
His application form was presented to *** that Chen Qihan was a banner of the Gannan peasant movement and should not only have the rank of lieutenant general. Therefore, ** specially sent Wang Dongxing to Chen Qihan's home to understand the situation and convey his hopes for Chen Qihan's military rank.
General Chen Qihan: Retired after success, retired without rest General Chen Qihan, in accordance with the meaning of ***, was awarded the rank of general by the leaders of the Central Military Commission. When he was only 60 years old, he took the initiative to propose to ** to give up his leadership position and let Lieutenant General Zhong Hanhua, who was younger than him, take his place.
Chen Qihan expressed his wish in a poem: "Wealth is not my wish, I don't want fame, human beings are liberated, bustling and bustling." "Although he retired, he was very concerned about the construction of the country.
When he was the director of the Military Management Committee of the Higher Military Academy, he said firmly: "You are right, I, Chen Qihan, am a senior mason. ”
General Chen Qihan, with his wisdom and courage, has set up a monument in life, showing noble qualities and outstanding leadership skills.
In 1969, it was decided to convene the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. On the eve of the congress, Chen Qihan and others were slandered as "consistent old speculation", which was deeply unfair, and stressed at the meeting: "Our army was originally composed of many 'hills' gathered under the unified banner of the party.
We must engage in all corners of the world, not mountaineering! With the intense preparation of the conference, the prime minister submitted the list of representatives of the "Ninth National Congress" to *** After receiving the list, ** carefully reviewed it and found that there was no name of Chen Qihan, an alternate member of the "Eighth National Congress" on the list, and he commented on the list: "Under the instructions of ***, Chen Qihan participated in the party's "Ninth National Congress" and was elected as a member of the "Ninth National Congress".
After being elected as a member of the committee, Chen Qihan's work became busier. Although he does not pursue fame and fortune, he is very concerned about the construction of his hometown. Due to his busy work, he really couldn't get out of it, so he decided to send his son, who worked in the army, back to his hometown to replace himself and his wife Wei Bin, to see the living conditions of his parents and fellow villagers.
You go back this time, go to see my father and fellow villagers on my behalf, don't wait for me to die, and I won't even be able to find the door of my hometown. With his father's ardent expectations, the son returned to his hometown to visit the villagers.
After Chen Qihan's ex-wife Wang Jiande saw her son, she felt very cordial and cooked her hometown meal for the child herself. Although Chen Qihan is not rare in fame and fortune, he is full of feelings for the people in his hometown.
In March 1949, Chen Qihan led his troops south. In June, with the victory of the Liberation War, Chen Qihan was appointed commander of the Jiangxi Military Region and served in his hometown, which gave him the opportunity to return to his hometown.
In his hometown, Chen Qihan met his ex-wife Wang Jiande. At this time, Wang Jiande was still waiting for him to come back. After meeting, Chen Qihan told Wang Jiande about the situation over the years.
In the end, Chen Qihan frankly told Wang Jiande that he had married Wei Bin. He did not choose to hide it because he believed that true love is selfless and should respect each other's choices.
Wang Jiande learned that Chen Qihan and Wei Bin were married, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. Although it was irretrievable to the facts, he chose to accept it and went through the divorce procedures with Chen Qihan.
Considering that the two also have a son, Wang Jiande submitted a request for divorce without leaving home. Chen Qihan understood Wang Jiande's mood and agreed to his proposal, and the two decided to be commensurate with brother and sister, and took the initiative to bear their son's living expenses.
Chen Qihan has Wang Jiande in his heart, and has always been concerned about their mother and son, he once said: "Divorce is not what I want, but the era forced us to separate, and the war alienated us."
I hate the enemy, I hate the war, and I only hope that my son will grow up in the years of peace. After the divorce, Chen Qihan would send money to his son and ex-wife Wang Jiande on time every month, and in the letter he instructed his son to study hard, cherish a peaceful life, and take care of his mother Wang Jiande.
In 1952, Chen Qihan was elected chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and was subsequently appointed president of the Military Court of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the face of this important task, Chen Qihan, with the encouragement of Prime Minister ***, firmly undertook this mission.
He not only formulated major issues such as the guidelines, tasks, contents, and methods of the military tribunal, but also personally organized the establishment of the military tribunal. After completing the work, Chen Qihan thought deeply and decided to return to his hometown of Xingguo, Jiangxi, to start his new life.
On that day in Kunming, Chen Qihan got off and off the yellow military jeep. His nephew, Chen Yujie, led him out of the car, and at this time, a young man recognized him and shouted excitedly: "Qi Hangong is back!" ”
He rushed back to the village, shouting all the way to tell the villagers the good news. When the villagers heard the shouts, they put down their work and came to the village. The children called "Gong, Uncle, Uncle", and the adults called "Brother", while Chen Qihan smiled and nodded in agreement, and asked the staff to distribute the candy that had already been prepared to the villagers.
In a warm welcome, Chen Qihan returned to his home. He looked at the blackened, smoky door beam on the door's head, and couldn't help but sigh: "It was set on fire by the enemy in 1929, when the Kuomintang reactionaries sent a company of people to arrest me, and before they could catch me, they burned down our house." ”
Chen Qihan and Su Yu listened to Chen Qihan's words together, and a villager told Chen Qihan: "Brother Qihan, a revolutionary couplet you wrote before is still well preserved in the ancestral hall, and the handwriting is still clear. ”
Chen Qihan replied with a smile: "Really? Then I'll have to check it out! Chen Qihan came to the ancestral hall and saw the couplet he had inscribed before, which read: "The Central Plains is in chaos, and all the nations are dressed towards our clan; In addition to **, the career of Qianqiu is Danqing. ”
This couplet was written by Chen Qihan when the ancestral hall was built in 1922 and was full of pride. At that time, Chen Qihan had already participated in the patriotic struggle led by Sun Yat-sen against Yuan Shikai's signing of the ** treaty, and the young and promising, full of pride, Chen Qihan received a lot of help from the villagers.
Many years have passed, and Chen Qihan still remembers the events of that year vividly. Recalling the past, Chen Qihan expressed his gratitude to the villagers: "This couplet was not destroyed by the enemy, and I would like to thank the villagers for their protection." ”
Then, Chen Qihan said: "In 1932, when ** came to Banan, he was full of praise for this couplet, and he said: 'Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the people applauded and said that it was time.
Now that the warlords have been overthrown and eliminated, it is a good time for us to build a socialist new China, and the task is arduous and the task is heavy and there is a long way to go. ”
Under the leadership of the Communist Party, the peasants had turned over. The villagers expressed their agreement with Chen Qihan's viewpoint and promised to closely follow the Communist Party, work hard, and contribute to the construction of New China.
Chen Qihan was very happy after hearing this. He thought that his son and ex-wife Wang Jiande were still at home, so he decided to go home. When he pushed the door open, Wang Jiande and his son greeted him.
According to the previously agreed title, Wang Jiande said happily: "Brother Qihan, you are back!" Seeing that Wang Jiande was in a good mood, Chen Qihan felt very relieved and said with concern: "My dear, you have suffered and been wronged.
At that time, the enemy forced us to separate, and the war separated us, please don't be angry with me. Wang Jiande smiled and said: "What are you angry about, you picked up a life and came back to see me, this is the blessing I cultivated in my previous life." ”
Then, Wang Jiande took out a pair of cloth shoes from the box and said to Chen Qihan: "You were thinner when you were young, but now you are much fatter, you try it, it doesn't fit." With that, Wang Jiande handed over the pair of cloth shoes.
Wang Jiande handed Chen Qihan a pair of cloth shoes in his hand, Chen Qihan nodded with satisfaction after trying them on, and said to Wang Jiande: "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much." Wang Jiande, who looked at Chen Qihan, was full of emotion, and he said: "I waited 20 years for these shoes to be made for you." ”
Recalling the scene back then, Wang Jiande couldn't help but shed tears. In 1934, when the Red Army began the Long March, Chen Qihan hurriedly said goodbye to his wife, and after leaving, Wang Jiande picked up the pair of cloth shoes made for him to chase after him, but did not catch up.
Back at home, Wang Jiande sat on a stool, looking at the shoes, feeling very lost. She wrapped up her shoes, put them in a cupboard, locked them in a box, and was reluctant to move.
Whenever she misses her husband, she takes out the cloth shoes and looks at them, and then puts them back.
The story of Chen Qihan and his comrades-in-arms Chen Qihan married Wang Jiande under the management of his parents. Wang Jiande silently undertook housework and was deeply loved by Chen Qihan's parents. In 1919, Chen Qihan realized that culture alone could not save China, and he decided to join the army and join the Yunnan Jiangwutang Shaoguan branch of the Yunnan Army.
Although the instructor was skeptical about his physical shape, Chen Qihan borrowed 100 oceans and insisted on taking the exam. In the end, the instructor agreed to let him take the exam, and Chen Qihan's road to joining the army began.
During his time at the military academy, Chen Qihan's health gradually improved. After graduating, he became a platoon commander in the Gan Army, and was later promoted to company commander and acting battalion commander.
Chen Qihan took an old photo of 1924, witnessing the tragic situation of innocent people in the warlord melee, Chen Qihan deeply felt that this meaningless struggle was distressing. So, he left the Jiangxi Army and threw himself into the Guangzhou Revolution**, serving as the captain of the Guangzhou Guard Army's martial arts parish.
In 1925, Chen Qihan followed Zhang Zhizhong into the Whampoa Military Academy, during which he served as the captain of the cadet team, the company commander, and the captain of the political brigade at the Whampoa Military Academy. During this period, Chen Qihan got acquainted with Communist Party leaders and others at the Guangzhou Agricultural Movement Training Institute, and was deeply influenced by Marxist thought.
Under the recommendation of his friends Chen Geng and Xu Jishen, Chen Qihan secretly joined the Communist Party of China and returned to Jiangxi to engage in revolutionary activities under the dispatch of the organization. In 1927, Chen Qihan came to Nanchang and served as the chief of staff and branch secretary of the 3rd Army Officer Training Corps founded by **, assisting ** in carrying out revolutionary work.
During this period, Chen Qihan declined Chiang Kai-shek's position as the director of the chamberlain, firmly chose to follow ** to participate in the revolution, and resolutely said: "It is better to be an ordinary Communist Party member than a national."
Subsequently, Chen Qihan was ordered to return to his hometown to rejuvenate the country, and served as the special committee of the Communist Party of China in southern Jiangxi, the minister of military affairs, a member of the Standing Committee of the Xingguo County Party Committee, the secretary of the party group of the Xingguo Revolutionary Committee, the director of the Jiangxi Provincial Military Commission Office in southern Jiangxi, the chief of staff of the 3rd Independent Regiment of the Jiangxi Red Army, and the chief of education of the Red Army School in southwest Jiangxi.
Chen Qihan's participation in the revolution meant that he might not be able to return home for a long time. In December 1928, he led the Xingguo Rebellion, successfully seized the county seat of Xingguo and established the Red 4th Regiment.
However, the Kuomintang reactionaries were very dissatisfied with this, so they sent people to Xingguo to arrest Chen Qihan. However, instead of finding Chen Qihan, they set fire to his home.
In April of the same year, the Red 4th Army led by ** came to Xingguo. Chen Qihan reported his work to ***, ** was very happy, and said to Chen Qihan: "Today it is popular in Xingguo, tomorrow it will be popular in Jiangxi Province, and the day after tomorrow it will be popular all over China!" ”
During this period, Chen Qihan invited *** to come to the house to eat fish and improve his life. They sit at the table of the Eight Immortals, with a steamer basket in the middle of which is steamed fish with rice noodles, and four porcelain plates containing peanuts, stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, snow peas, and scrambled eggs.
I tasted the fish and said with a smile: "This fish you made is delicious!" What's the name of this dish? ”
Chen Qihan showed *** a dish of rice noodle fish, which is very common in their countryside. After thinking about it for a while, it was proposed to name the dish "Four Stars Mochizuki" because four small plates surround a large steamer like stars surround the moon.
Everyone agreed and applauded. Then, ** said solemnly: "The peasants look forward to fighting local tyrants day and night, dividing the fields, just like the stars looking at the moon, and this desire has lasted for I don't know how many years." ”
Chen Qihan felt the same way, and continued: "The name of the four-star moon just speaks to the hearts of the farmers. When Chen Qihan participated in the revolution, his wife Wang Jiande always supported him, whether it was running housework at home, or being filial to his parents and raising their children.
In 1934, Chen Qihan participated in the Long March, bid farewell to his wife and children, left his hometown in Xingguo, and arrived in northern Shaanxi. Since then, he has left his hometown for 15 years.
It was not until 1949 that he returned to his hometown for the first time.
On the way back to his hometown, Chen Qihan received old shoes that Wang Jiande had kept for 20 years, and he was deeply moved. He lamented the ruthlessness of the years, but he also secretly made a wish, that is, to contribute to the construction of his hometown.
Chen Qihan returned to his hometown again in 1961, but because Wang Jiande happened to go to his son's house, he couldn't see him, which made him feel a little regretful.
After paying homage to ***'s former residence in Ba Nan, he returned to the office of the Ba Nan Brigade. There, he asked the village leaders if they had any solutions to the problems of flooding in Ba Nan every year, which often washed down houses, washed away livestock, and failed grain harvests every year.
After listening to Chen Qihan's words, the person in charge of the village said that they were planning to report the problem upwards and suggested that all the more than 1,000 households in the village be moved, and listened to his opinion.
When Chen Qihan recalled the old photos, he said that it was very difficult to relocate the entire village, because it required the villagers to give up their roots and emotions, and the cost was huge. He doesn't think waiting is a good option, but relocation isn't a good solution either.
He believes that Banan Village is a rich land with a long history, so why did we move away? Historically, Hai Rui of the Ming Dynasty once served as a county magistrate in Xingguo, he encouraged people to plant trees, established Wansong Dam, and ensured the safety of the people.
Chen Qihan believes that we can also build Huaguo Mountain in the low part of the river embankment, which can not only prevent floods, but also harvest a good harvest, the best of both worlds. The head of the village said they did not have enough money to implement the plan.
However, Chen Qihan said that he had considered the issue and was willing to provide 200,000 yuan in funding. However, due to some special reasons, this fund was frozen and could not be used normally, which made Chen Qihan feel very regretful.
Despite this, Chen Qihan has always been worried about the construction of his hometown and the lives of his parents and fellow villagers in his later years. He wanted to see their lives with his own eyes, but for various reasons, he couldn't.
This made him feel very sorry.
Our generation has spent half of our lives crawling through the rain of bullets. In his later years, he was able to calm down and play boxing and raise flowers, and he already felt very satisfied......But now, the villagers in my hometown are still very poor, and they use the fabrics they buy to make clothes and give them to those of us who are in other places. ”
