He served as a Chinese *** and passed away in 2008. However, his image has become clearer and more sublime in the course of history. Although his shine in China was short-lived, in the seventies of the last century, he made an important contribution. The noble moral character and efforts made for the peace of the country are remembered and praised by future generations.
In the early summer of 1980, after returning from a foreign visit, he did not rush back to Beijing, but chose Nanjing as the location of his investigation in the south and stayed in an apartment in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. At the same time, not far from lived a famous founding general - Xu Shiyou. Xu Shiyou made great achievements in the army when he was young, and even commanded the Eastern Front troops in the counterattack in 1979. Later, the old general chose to retire and returned to his beloved Nanjing to live a simple and quiet life.
These two did not have much intersection in their military and political careers. Xu Shiyou is old, and his life is more plain and peaceful; Although *** is higher than Xu Shiyou in his position, due to the question of the standard of truth caused by the "two whatevers", his prestige has declined, and he is no longer the core figure in the political arena. Therefore, when he came to Nanjing, he did not receive Xu Shiyou's active visit. Despite this, ** was sympathetic to Xu Shiyou's physical condition and personally visited the old general.
After the two met, Xu Shiyou was not only surprised, but also felt very warm. In the subsequent cordial conversation, Xu Shiyou had a deeper understanding of ***. He found *** not only to be humble and polite, but also to be honest and down-to-earth. ** Said to Xu Shiyou: "You are the host, I am a guest, and you are older than me, how can I not come to Nanjing to see the general?" This humble quality made Xu Shiyou have a deep affection for him.
A few months later, the political situation in Beijing changed again. The already precarious *** is facing increasing pressure, and the opposition to him has increased significantly. At this tense moment, a surprising figure appeared - General Xu Shiyou. At a meeting in 1980, he did not hesitate to express his opinion on ***, claiming: Chairman Hua is a person who will not play hypocritical means! He is very honest and outspoken, and perhaps sometimes influenced by some bad factors.
Xu Shiyou's remarks made the venue fall silent, and the previous criticisms of *** came one after another, and no one expected Xu Shiyou to make such a statement. Although some people secretly agree with Xu Shiyou's opinion, but he does not dare to speak so bluntly. Judging from the previous visit to Nanjing, the interaction between the two is more based on the "friendship of gentlemen", so at this sensitive moment, Xu Shiyou's statement is particularly prominent. In fact, Xu Shiyou's words and deeds during his stay in Nanjing left a deep impression on Xu Shiyou. As a senior military general, Xu Shiyou has extraordinary insight, and he is also convinced of the selection vision before his death. At this age, he no longer makes easy choices about his position, but simply talks about things and expresses his true views.
In a difficult situation, after hearing Xu Shiyou's evaluation, I was naturally very moved. In that environment, there were very few people who could stand up for him. And Xu Shiyou's evaluation is very pertinent, his remarks not only did not avoid the mistakes that *** has made, but also affirmed ***'s character from the side. Xu Shiyou's speech at the meeting had a good impact, which helped the harmonious progress of the meeting and did not make *** feel too embarrassed. List of high-quality authors
