Visit*** praised him as a role model

**Marshal's last words: A life of indifference to fame and fortune, leaving no ashes after death In June 1990, **Marshal was sent to the PLA General Hospital because of physical illness, although he was ill, he still insisted that the secretary tell him some national events.

On August 5, he told his family: "After I die, I will not say goodbye to my body, second, I will not hold a memorial service, and third, I will scatter my ashes in Dabie Mountain, Daba Mountain, Taihang Mountain, and Hexi Corridor."

These are my last words to you. On August 8, ** also came to his sickbed. **Evaluation*** is a world-renowned general. * Marshal was born in 1901 into a poor family in Wutai County, Shanxi.

His father was a showman, so he named him Xu Xiangqian. After the defeat of the Revolution, he changed his name to *** to express his love and loyalty to the country and its people.

His life was indifferent to fame and fortune, and always adhered to the people-centered, and his spirit and character will always be remembered and missed by people.

**'s study journey is full of twists and turns. He had the opportunity to continue his studies at a private school, but due to family conditions, his father asked his brother to continue his studies while he dropped out and returned home.

However, he was self-taught, and later as an apprentice in a bookstore, he was exposed to more books, especially "The Water Margin" and "The Art of War", which sparked his ambition to serve his country and his interest in martial arts.

When he was 13 years old, ** received a letter from his brother from Taiyuan, in which he mentioned that the Provincial National Normal School was recruiting students, and it was at public expense. **Ecstatic, set off with his bags on his back, and successfully passed the exam, becoming a student of the first crash course of Shanxi National Normal School.

Although this school was founded by Yan Xishan, the emperor of Shanxi, in order to cultivate and consolidate his rule and cultivate talents, *** was not affected by this, and he continued to absorb knowledge like a sponge.

However, after two years of teaching at Taiyuan No. 4 Primary School in Yangqu County, his fighting spirit was hit. He was very disappointed that his work had not received the expected recognition and support.

Despite this, he did not give up, he still insisted on learning and progressing, and worked hard to achieve his ideals.

The marshal's holiday, however, was full of twists and turns. He unexpectedly received a "letter of dismissal" from the school because some of his progressive statements were incompatible with the school.

Although he knew the reason for his dismissal, he did not give up and continued to teach in other primary schools. However, he also ran into a dilemma here, because the headmaster was appointed by Yan Xishan, and he did not allow progressive ideas to spread here.

Therefore, ** was dismissed again. In a fit of rage, he ran to Taiyuan, hoping to find a way out there. There, he discovered the Whampoa Military Academy founded by Sun Yat-sen in Guangzhou, so he and a few fellow villagers scraped together the travel expenses, came to Guangzhou, and successfully passed the exam, was incorporated into the first team of the Whampoa army, and began his career as a horseman.

** With amazing military courage, his general's talent is unmatched. Although he was suave and shy in appearance, in reality, his command style was the opposite of these, always charging at the forefront when fighting.

Whenever I think of him, I can't help but comment: "Forward has amazing military courage, the more big, hard, and vicious battles come, the more alive he is." ”

In November 1947, when he commanded the Red Fourth Front Army in the Henan-Hubei-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base Area, he fully demonstrated his command style. The Red Fourth Front was good at fighting tough and vicious battles.

**Good at leading soldiers, especially being able to make "poor students" grow by leaps and bounds into "excellent students" in a short period of time. * In just over two years in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, the armed forces of more than 300 peasants were developed into a 40,000-strong Red Fourth Front Army.

In 1947, after Liu Deng's army went south, he concentrated the local troops of Shanxi, Hebei, Shanxi and Henan to form the First Corps in North China, and annihilated most of Yan Xishan's elite field corps, including the Tenth Corps of the provisional formation composed of the Japanese.

So much so that the Japanese soldiers trembled when they heard the name of ***. Once, during the pursuit, PLA soldiers rushed into a room crowded with Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese officer saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and asked: "Your commander is ***."

The warrior solemnly said, "Yes." The Japanese officer was frightened directly on the spot, then turned his head and shouted, and suddenly, the enemy in the house immediately disarmed and surrendered.

**: Ordinary generals who have made great achievements in war, do not engage in speciality, and come out of life and death **A general with countless honors in military history, he once served as the chief of the general staff, the minister of national defense (**vice premier and vice chairman), and the first vice chairman of the Military Commission.

In order to capture him, the Kuomintang offered a reward of 10 200,000 oceans for his head, but *** did not take these honors as their capital. For his comrades-in-arms, ** attaches great importance to it, he once said: "We must treat our soldiers as our own brothers and love them as our own children."

Don't be brutal, don't talk about tactics, and cause unnecessary **. Therefore, it has won the heartfelt love of the majority of commanders and fighters. * Although he has made countless great achievements, he has never been special.

In his opinion, he is an ordinary person, he is step by step from the struggle of life and death, therefore, he will never pursue personal material enjoyment, and his living habits are not much different from ordinary people.

This is an ordinary general who has made great achievements, does not engage in specialness, and comes out of life and death. His story tells us that true heroes do not lie in how much honor they have, but in the fact that they always adhere to their beliefs and principles, and always maintain their love for their people and reverence for life.

**: Marshal Buyi's frugal life **Although he was not in good health, he refused **special care and cadre welfare subsidies. He wore ordinary old clothes, a wool vest, and he wore it for 30 years.

He didn't think he was used to wearing silk and satin, preferring sturdy green uniforms and winter blouses. He called himself the "Marshal of Cloth" and could both fight and knit sweaters. In life, ** will never let others do it for him, he will do it himself, and he will let the secretary and the cook go home for reunion during the New Year's holidays, and let the children cook by themselves.

Once, a newlywed couple went to ***'s house as a guest, and they rang the doorbell in front of a gate with peeling paint, and saw an old man in old blue clothes, and this old man was ***

The girl didn't know ***, so she just nodded to him and went in the door. Her husband hurried to follow, worried that she had not greeted the chief.

** The bride didn't think much about it, but felt that the person who guarded the marshal was also an important "leader". At her husband's reminder, she turned back to the old man and nodded and smiled, and then continued to walk in silently.

Her husband hurriedly grabbed the person and introduced him to the old man: "Leader, this is my love. * didn't get angry, but smiled and led the two people into the house.

After entering the room, the bride had not yet recognized the person in front of her, and her husband was also anxious, so he decided to say it directly: "This is Xu Shuai!" The bride screamed, and her face flushed instantly.

She never expected that the old man in front of her was the marshal who shocked the enemy on the battlefield*** At the dinner table, there was nothing special about the diet.

On the table are just some home-cooked meals, such as noodles rolls, millet porridge and wowotou. He also often tells his children and the staff around him that eating more wild vegetables is not only conducive to strengthening the body, but also not forgetting his roots.

**Be strict with yourself, and even more strict with your children. He often admonished his children not to think about "going through the back door" and not to seek special care.

His nephew Xu Shuangjiu works at the Harbin Air Force Aviation School, and because he suffers from diabetes, he has proposed to be transferred to Beijing several times, but he has been rejected.

Always warn your nephew not to add unnecessary trouble to the organization, and it is enough to concentrate on doing his job well. His nephew Xu Shuangjiu's daughter Xu Aiping wanted to join the army in 1974, but because the number of female soldiers was very limited at that time, Xu Shuangjiu had to go to the leaders of the aviation school to fight for a place.

The leader told him directly: "Go to Beijing and ask your uncle for help!" Xu Shuangjiu knows his character very well, he will not open the back door because of family affection.

Not long after, the news of **'s hospitalization due to illness came, and Xu Shuangjiu immediately rushed to Beijing to visit. In the conversation with ***, Xu Shuangjiu plucked up the courage to make a request, hoping to make an exception.

However, ** righteously rejected his request: "Being a soldier is a good thing in itself, but going through the back door becomes a bad thing." If the children want to join the army, they have to follow the normal procedure, not through the back door, but through the front door. ”

Although Xu Shuangjiu failed to do so, he also deeply felt the integrity and fairness of ***. His daughter Xu Aiping also kept in mind the words of ***, and has been working hard in the Great Northern Wilderness Farm, and soon joined the Communist Party of China, and was admitted to the university with excellent results after the resumption of the college entrance examination.

When his grandson Xu Luning was in middle school, he had the dream of becoming a soldier, and when the results of the pilot's recruitment and physical examination were announced, he successfully passed, and when he returned home, he couldn't wait to share the good news with the results, but after listening to it, he said earnestly: "What is a child doing to be a soldier so early?"

It's not forced by the situation, you study hard, and there is time to be a soldier. In his view, learning cultural knowledge is very important, only by learning cultural knowledge can he be more comfortable in his future life, so he does not agree with being a soldier at a young age, so as not to delay the time to learn culture.

Xu Luning When they were young, ** would give them homework, they needed to write five brush words a day, and handed them to him after writing, and he would carry out Puyue, if anyone wrote better, he would draw a circle with a red pen, and whoever wrote poorly would use a red pen to make a cross below, and there was a reward for writing well, and if he didn't write well, he had to rewrite until he was satisfied.

And they ate quickly, and the rice grains fell on the table and didn't care about these details, ** didn't step forward to count these children, just walked in front of them with a smile, and then pinched the rice grains that fell under their bowls and put them in their mouths to eat, Xu Luning was surprised by his grandfather's approach, how could his grandfather eat the rice grains he fell, so he quickly picked them up and ate them, and formed a hard and simple style since he was a child.

Does the marshal care about the food and clothing of the people? In 1956, the Authority sent a new carpet to make *** warmer in the winter. However, ** asked the secretary to send the carpet to the newly built three-gate guest house, emphasizing: "The country is still very poor, and every dollar should be spent on construction!" ”

In 1981, he received guests from Dabie Mountain Area and inquired about the production and living conditions of the people in the old area. Considering that he was not in good health, several county and prefectural party committee leaders only picked up good words and said, the more they listened, the more wrong they became, and immediately interrupted them and asked, "Is there anyone who can't eat enough?"

I wonder how the poorest and hardest people are doing. Several comrades were speechless for a moment. In the end, a young man who came with him broke the deadlock and said bravely: "Xu Shuai, do you remember Qiliping?"

.There was a family surnamed Wang, a family of seven, with only six bowls, and if they ate together, one of them would ......When he heard this, he stood up and said, "What!

There are only six bowls for seven people! "Qiliping, an ordinary small village in Hong'an County, Hubei Province, is of great significance to ***. In 1931, the Red Fourth Front Army was established there, and *** served as the commander-in-chief of the Red Fourth Front Army.

**Youth photo. After hearing the report, he was worried about the plight of the people in the old area, and after careful consideration, he decided to write a letter to ***, suggesting that someone be sent to the old area to investigate, study and formulate measures to change the situation in the old area.

Soon after, he celebrated his 82nd birthday, but he was not in a happy mood, and he cared about those who were still living in poverty. In his mind, the living conditions of the people are more important than his birthday.

praised him as a model of the Communist Party, and looked down on life and death. In his memoirs, he wrote: "The majestic Taixing wolf smoke. The Moving Army sang triumphantly.

Forty years have passed, and spring is in the world. ”

In June 1990, **'s physical condition began to deteriorate and he was admitted to the PLA General Hospital. Despite the unbearable physical pain, he insisted on having his secretary relay important events at home and abroad.

The condition is not improving, but getting worse. At the end of his life, he told his family that he would not hold a farewell and memorial service after his death, but would scatter his ashes in Dabie Mountain, Daba Mountain, Taihang Mountain and Hexi Corridor.

This last wish is deeply admired and touched. In the same year, despite the difficult conditions of lack of oxygen on the plateau, he personally went to inspect and guide the work, and said that he would do more practical things for the people.

On August 8, ** came to visit ***'s hospital bed after the inspection, and the two also talked about some outside situations. ** Very happy to hear it, this is also the best gift he received in the last moments of his life.

When he was sick and sick in his old age, he said to the staff around him: "Xu Shuai is an old Bolshevik, and he is a model of a communist." "At 4:21 a.m. on September 21, ** passed away.

Another military star has fallen. **'s descendants followed his wishes, the funeral was simple, and the ashes were scattered to Dabie Mountain, Daba Mountain, Hexi Corridor, and Taihang Mountain.

This proud son who came out of Wutai Mountain will always be accompanied by Qingshan.

**The general once said: "Life is like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, sometimes smooth sailing, sometimes encountering adversity." In the face of adversity, we should self-reflect, change if we have something, encourage others if we don't, and never be discouraged. ”

This is thought-provoking, and I hope that future generations can benefit from it.
