Jiang Tengjiao, born in the era of the revolution, joined the Red Army when he was young, and because of his heroic struggle and outstanding ability, he rose to prominence and became a member of the revolution. However, despite his thriving career as a young man, he lost his original intention in his later political career and eventually fell into the whirlpool of power.
In 1919, Jiang Tengjiao was born in Hong'an, Hubei, a place full of revolutionary feelings. At the age of 11, he joined the Red Army and became a Red Imp, and although he was young, he excelled and was soon appointed captain of the Children's Regiment and secretary of the Children's Bureau. His revolutionary beliefs and determination led him to demonstrate extraordinary leadership skills at a young age.
In 1934, the Red Army was forced to go north on the Long March, but Jiang Tengjiao was ordered to stay in the Soviet area, persist in the struggle, and cover the smooth withdrawal of the main army. He faced tremendous pressure during the next three years of guerrilla warfare, but his revolutionary beliefs kept him on his ground. In the end, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he made great achievements.
During the War of Liberation, Jiang Tengjiao was ordered to go to the northeast and served as the political director of the whole army, responsible for the political work of the whole army. His work provided solid rear support for front-line fighters. Because of his outstanding performance, he was awarded the rank of founding major general in 1955 at the age of 36. The future seems to be bright and infinite, but Jiang Tengjiao has forgotten his original intention and focused on personal promotion and wealth.
Jiang Tengjiao's behavior caused dissatisfaction among colleagues and subordinates, and his"Slippery head"Behaviour and unkind manners have been reported on several occasions. He also framed the general General Xu Shiyou, which led to Xu Shiyou's transfer from the Nanjing Military Region. The great man spoke highly of him many times and called him"Not reusable"。
In 1973, Jiang Tengjiao was removed from his post for reflection due to personal problems, and was later sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment. However, due to his revolutionary exploits, he was old and frail and was eventually released on medical parole. In his later years, he enjoyed his old age in Taiyuan, providing a living guarantee until his death from lung disease in 2009.
Jiang Tengjiao's life has not only a glorious revolutionary process, but also a loss of power and missteps. His story is a reflection that reminds us to always stay true to our original aspirations, not to be corrupted by power, and not to forget our revolutionary beliefs.
