Every New Year's Eve, the Central Military Commission (CMC) gives condolence performances to veteran cadres of the PLA stationed in Beijing, and this year is no exception. In the front row of the star-studded audience, the veterans found that General Xu Qiliang and other five new and old vice chairmen of the Military Commission were rarely "in the same frame". The new and old vice chairmen of the Military Commission here refer to those who are in office or retired.
Among the five vice chairmen of the old and new CMC, the older one is 89 years old this year, and the younger one is 67 years old this year, with an average age of 76At the age of 2, he has served in active duty for more than forty or fifty years. Among them, General Xu Qiliang, who joined the army at the age of 16, has served in active duty for 57 years and has been handed over to the army for the rest of his life.
Their hometowns are from Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Jiangsu and other places, including a former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, whose ancestral home is Shandong, and he was born in Dandong, Liaoning.
Among the five new and old vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission in the same frame, some have participated in actual battles and made meritorious contributions, and most of them have served as commanders of military regions (theaters) or services and arms, and some have served a term of five years, some have served two terms of 10 years, and some have served in addition to serving as vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission, and some are also state councilors and defense ministers. For example, Admiral of Henan Dancing Steel.
There is also a former vice chairman of the Military Commission, that is, the first general who made great achievements in the war years, the old general was born in July 1929, and is 95 years old this year.
The five new and old vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission are rarely "in the same frame", especially the vice chairmen of the old Military Commission, we believe that first, it shows that they love the motherland, love the army, love collective life, and actively participate as long as their health allows; Second, it shows that they obey orders, obey commands, have strong party spirit and principles, and do whatever our party and army tell them to do; Third, it shows that our army provides good service and guarantee for veteran cadres, has excellent physical fitness, and can still participate in collective activities in their old age, and the time is relatively long.
