"I've finally found you, I've been looking for you all these years! "What stories have happened between Xu Longcai and ***? What did he say before he died, so that Li Ne still looked for Xu Longcai 20 years later?
2. When mentioning the story of Xu Longcai, people often think of his mysterious origin, that is, the high-profile Unit 8341. The history of this unit can be traced back to 1942, when the CCP ** in order to protect the head of the organs, especially the original guard battalion and teaching brigade merged into the ** garrison regiment.
With the passage of time, the ** Garrison Regiment gradually evolved into the ** Guard Division, and the 9th Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security established a new ** Guard Regiment based on the 1st Regiment of the Guard Division.
Although there are only more than 1,000 people, this elite unit is famous for its special status, which is the familiar 8341 unit. So, how did the mysterious code name for this unit come about?
One of the most popular theories is that the code name comes from the number of an old rifle that *** once used.
In that year, Chairman ** participated in the Hunan Army and was incorporated into the mixed brigade of the Hunan New Army. In the army, he was given an old Hanyang-made rifle with the number 8341, which the chairman loved despite the fact that the gun was very worn.
Therefore, he decided to use the number of this rifle as the number of the ** guard regiment, symbolizing the principle of "the party commands the gun". Of course, there is also a theory that this number is not directly designated by the chairman, but issued by the General Staff, and the number will be changed regularly, and there is no so-called "Unit 8341" anymore.
But this does not affect the precious memories of this unit for many people, such as Xu Longcai mentioned at the beginning of our article. Not only was he part of Unit 8341 in the past, but he was also a member of the 1st Squadron of the 1st Brigade, responsible for protecting the chairman at the station and accompanying the chairman out there.
Thus, although he did not join the unit until 1961 and did not begin his official mission until 1965, he spent considerable time with the chairman.
In the 17 years of security work, Xu Longcai not only established a deep relationship with ***, but also formed a sincere friendship with ***'s children. **In normal times, the children are asked to call Xu Longcai and others uncles directly, and even after Li Min and his wife moved out of Zhongnanhai, they also invited Xu Longcai to their home as guests.
When he died in 1976, Xu Longcai was by his side and saw off the great leader with his own hands; Even after the death of ***, Xu Longcai and others did not leave, and stayed by the body of ***.
It was not until the first anniversary of ***'s death that the memorial hall was built, and Xu Long and others were transferred out and transferred to major military regions. Since then, Xu Longcai has cut off contact with Zhongnanhai, and his life has been fixed in Unit 8341, and he can only return to that unforgettable day again in a midnight dream.
However, what Xu Long didn't expect was that 20 years after he left Zhongnanhai, he actually got in touch with ***'s daughter Li Ne again, what was going on?
Xu Longcai was an employee of the Jinan Hotel, and one morning in June 1996, he received a **. The other party asks about his past, and out of professional vigilance, he tries to keep his information private and asks about the identity of the other party in turn.
When he learned that the other party was from the elderly cadre activity center, he almost hung up**, because they had little contact. However, he was told that a "chief" from Beijing wanted to find him, and he found out the other party's identity.
After a while, Li Ne's voice came from the opposite side, and she said, "Captain Xu, long time no see!" This accident reminded Xu Longcai of the past 20 years, a history he wanted to forget.
He remembered this experience fondly because it deeply affected his life. His story reminds us that history cannot be forgotten and that we must cherish the experiences of the past to guide our future.
Hearing this familiar voice, Xu Longcai was very surprised, but he was also a little confused - he had left Beijing for 20 years, and had even retired from the Jinan Military Region, what was Li Ne looking for him for now?
With such doubts in mind, Xu Long quickly arranged a meeting with Li Ne. However, when they met, Li Ne stepped forward excitedly, tears flashing in her eyes: "Captain Xu, I finally found you!"
I've been looking for you all these years! After saying these words, Li Ne also seemed to see Xu Longcai's surprise, and explained: "Before my father died, he left me a wish, that is, he hoped that I would be able to visit those who had been kind to us ......”
After Xu Longcai heard this, a long-lost warmth surged in his heart, it turned out that he was not alone, and he had been thinking about him and his comrades before he died.
Embarrassed, he said to Li Ne: "* is our greatest benefactor, especially for those of us who are close to us, and his teachings are invaluable. ”
Li Ne has been by ***'s side for 17 years, feels very happy, and still misses him to this day. Then, the two asked each other about each other's situation, and Xu Long learned that Li Ne was visiting everywhere to find old comrades in the past, and she had visited many old comrades and was always on the move.
In the end, Xu Long invited Li Ne to come to his house for dinner, but Li Ne declined his invitation because of the urgency of time and the next day to visit an old comrade in Cao County.
She needed to rest, and she was already very tired from the dusty journey.
Xu Longcai sat there alone and pondered for a long time, the corners of his eyes slightly moistened. What he deeply admires is that even at the last moments of his life, he still misses the people around him.
And Li Ne has been running around for 20 years in order to fulfill his last wish, just to thank his former benefactor in person, and this spirit is also moving. However, people can't help but ask, why do *** and Li Ne think that Xu Long is their "benefactor"?
This goes back to Xu Longcai's glorious years in Unit 8341.
In the 17 years of working with ***, Xu Longcai has continued to express his gratitude with practical actions. According to his tastes and preferences, he carefully prepared a variety of delicacies for him, such as fishing for small shrimp, catching hares, digging sparrows and catching turtle doves, especially small shrimp in the pool, which is ***'s favorite.
In addition, Xu Longcai also planted many fruit trees in the yard with the guards, such as mulberries and fragrant pears, and when the fruit was ripe, they would choose the best ones to give to ***
In order to ensure the safety of ***, he does not accept gifts from ordinary people, but he will gladly accept what Xu Longcai and the members of the first squadron give, which reflects his high trust in his team.
Xu Longcai and others take care of the life of ***. Considering the poor soundproofing of *** house, as well as the problem that he often has insomnia, they formed a unique tacit understanding to try to avoid walking around next to the chairman's bedroom, and even to keep quiet even on detours.
The sentry guarding the chairman's window would try to remain silent as much as possible, standing in the pine forest next to him on weekdays, and even covering his mouth and nose when coughing. Only when foreign guests come to visit, the sentries will stand on the road in front of the chairman's window to show the demeanor of our soldiers.
In order to make *** have a good sleep, they have made a lot of efforts. For example, they uniformly do not wear hard-soled shoes and do not nail iron soles. The sentries also used bamboo poles tied with strips of cloth to drive away the birds from the trees while the chairman slept.
Their concern is not only limited to sleep, but also includes all aspects of life, such as tidying up the study, renovating the indoor space, turning on the air conditioner and burning the boiler.
**The chairman is very aware of what Xu Longcai, a soldier of the guard regiment, has done very well, so he has a deep concern and gratitude for the soldiers. Xu Longcai was particularly prominent among the many fighters and left a deep impression on the chairman.
In 1965, after participating in activities in Changsha, he hoped to return to Jinggangshan again, so Xu Long had the honor to be an escort and security guard. His work was highly praised by the President, who recognized him at a glance when they met again in 1966 and took a group photo together.
This ** made Xu Longcai deeply feel the approachability and open-mindedness of ***. According to convention, the right seat is usually the most honorable when taking pictures, but the chairman noticed Xu Longcai's restraint and insisted that he sit on the right.
This ** has become a cherished memory of Xu Longcai's life, and Chairman *** also cherishes the precious memories given to him by Xu Longcai and others.
The candid communication with Xu Longcai and others is an invaluable bond of trust and affection. ** When the squadron members return home, they will always talk to them in detail and ask about the situation in their hometown and things outside, and Xu Longcai and others will also know everything.
This sincerity and openness makes *** feel very comfortable. Moreover, the way they treat *** also makes him feel very warm. For example, if you give them fruits and vegetables, they will eat them without hesitation, instead of being reluctant to eat them, or hyping them up, or even "offering them" like people from other units and departments.
In general, Xu Longcai's kindness to *** is not only due diligence, but also earnest care. And *** also cherishes these very much, which is why Li Ne has been looking for a benefactor for decades.
So, what exactly is what Xu Longcai said, "* the teaching kindness that is given"?
Fourth, bear in mind the chairman's teachings to Xu Longcai and others, which are reflected in the cultivation of character and style, such as humility, diligence and integrity. In 1969, when ** stayed in Wuhan, he played a wonderful basketball game with his entourage and local guard troops.
Although everyone was very excited to play on the sidelines in person, after the game, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with everyone's performance. After returning to the lounge, he emphasised the importance of humility and said that everyone should play with respect, style and humility.
**'s teachings are not only reflected in words, but also in his actions.
1.No matter where he is, he always respects the local leaders, and even when he talks to the plumbers, he shows great kindness and kindness. This humble attitude made Xu Longcai and others believe in him.
2.* I once took Xu Longcai and others to stay in Jiangxi Hotel. In order to comply with the regulations, they put away their daily necessities and replaced them with their own. However, when they left the next day, they had neatly laid out the household items they had collected earlier.
This surprised the staff very much, and Xu Longcai and others explained: "According to the regulations, we need to use our own things, but we shouldn't waste the things in the room, so we have set them up." ”
After hearing this, the staff were deeply moved, and sighed again and again: "This is the embodiment of the spirit of hard work of the old Eighth Road!" ”
Always pay attention to and devote ourselves to educating everyone to cope with difficulties and create a better future. In 1947, he personally received the new recruits who joined the ** garrison regiment, and at that time many of them were skeptical about the difficult environment in northern Shaanxi, and even doubted whether this was the defense of the *** troops.
In this regard, ** did not get angry, but encouraged them to face difficulties and create a bright future with their own efforts. At the same time, ** also set an example and vigorously advocated honesty and honesty, and his daughter Li Min took the initiative to move out of Zhongnanhai after she got married.
When Li Min returned to Zhongnanhai to visit *** again, they didn't enjoy a free meal there. Even if you eat there, the expenses are covered by the salary of ***.
Having such strict requirements for himself and his daughter makes it possible for those around him to follow such principles. It is this way of life that allows Xu Longcai and others to learn many valuable qualities.
When we think back to that period of history, we are filled with emotion. In particular, the gratitude of *** and Li Ne, as well as the affectionate care of Xu Longcai and others to the chairman, are deeply moving.
In life, we should also learn from them and be grateful and caring for others at the same time. In this way, you will not only help others, but also improve yourself.
