The colonel was promoted to secretary and married a marshal
The ancient city of Phoenix, famous for the book "Border City", where the love stories and beautiful scenery are as fascinating as a fairy tale. Not only is the scenery beautiful here, but there are also many young talents, and Colonel Li Zhenjun is one of them.
He was born in Gucheng in 1920, his father was a Xiucai in the late Qing Dynasty, Li Zhenjun grew up in such a family environment, and his cultural level was also very high. Carefully cultivated by his father, coupled with his own talent and hard work, his achievements have always made his father proud.
The Li family originally lived a quiet life, and his father's wish was that his son would become a teacher in the future, not only to honor his parents by his side, but also to inherit the family business. However, the outbreak of the war of resistance disrupted their plans.
Li Zhenjun, a young man who should have devoted himself to studying, witnessed the motherland being trampled on by the Japanese invaders, and he made the decision to put pen to paper. He felt that young people should have a sense of responsibility at a critical moment and should not allow the country to be bullied by foreign enemies.
His sincerity drove him to join the revolution. After analyzing the situation of the Anti-Japanese War, he found that in the face of the defeat of the Japanese invaders, the foreign enemy is still playing their own small calculations, and such a mind cannot achieve the final victory.
Therefore, he decided to go to Yan'an to learn from the Communists and contribute to the cause of the Chinese revolution.
The father agreed with his son, who was a Qing dynasty talent, but whose ideas kept pace with the times. He found his old friend Xu Teli to help his son. Xu Teli is a native of Hunan, participated in the Long March, is respected as one of the five elders of Yan'an, and has a teacher-student friendship with ***.
He was very supportive of his son's idea of joining the revolution and immediately wrote a letter of recommendation. This letter opened Li Zhenjun's revolutionary road. As the front line against the Japanese army, Yan'an was often swept away by enemy troops and its work was dangerous.
Li Zhenjun faced a major test, and in a sweep by the Japanese puppet army, he was surrounded and decided to save his strength first. He disguised himself as an ordinary person and was captured by the enemy, and after torture, the enemy did not find any evidence that he was the Eighth Route Army, so they dragged him to the coal mines in Liaoning to work as coolies.
Li Zhenjun used the advantages of his political work to organize laborers and successfully launched a riot. This experience made him realize the importance of political work, which he will never forget.
Li Zhenjun, a combat hero who fought bravely in the War of Liberation. He successively participated in the battles of Liaoshen and Pingjin, achieved outstanding results, and led his subordinates to participate in the battle of crossing the river and southern Gansu, showing incomparable bravery and determination.
He not only heroically killed the enemy on the battlefield and was wounded many times, but also made full use of his preaching of his heroic deeds in battle, successfully propagated the revolutionary spirit, boosted the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and made important contributions to the dissemination of heroic deeds in battle.
He was highly recognized for his outstanding performance, receiving the rank of colonel in 1955 and being promoted to colonel in 1960. During the special period, he returned to his hometown of Hunan to serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee and the president of Xiangtan University.
He is well aware of the importance of education and believes that running a good university is an important part of laying the foundation for cultivating talents. Under his leadership, Xiangtan University has successfully entered the ranks of national key universities and has become a shining business card of Hunan Province.
His deeds and spirit are undoubtedly worthy of our study and admiration.
From the moment Li Zhenjun threw himself into the revolution, he dedicated everything he had to the party and the state. He worked hard for the revolution, his wife died young, and his busy work left him with no time to take care of personal problems.
In this regard, the organization was very concerned, and finally under the care of Sister Deng and other leaders, he became attached to He Jiesheng, the daughter of the marshal. Their marriage was a remarriage, but the same life experience made them know how to understand and care for each other and support each other.
In 1982, Li Zhenjun was appointed deputy political commissar of the headquarters of the armed police force, and since then he has provided comprehensive support for the newly formed team in the field of political work. After his retirement, he continued to publish his works in many newspapers and magazines, expressing his unique views on life and his deep love for the country and its people.
Although Li Zhenjun passed away in 2008, his spirit will always live in our hearts.
