Among the ten founding generals, Su Yu, as the first general, was very low-key in his life, which is obvious to all, and in Su Yu's daily life, he is also an approachable leader. Yuan Zhenwei was a student at the Military Academy, and his father was Yuan Guoping, director of the Political Department of the New Fourth Army, who had died in the New Fourth Army, and later Su Yu adopted him. Yuan Zhenwei thought for a while and said: "Because Taiwan has not yet been liberated" Hearing this, Su Yu seemed very happy: "You can graduate from the military academy." ”
The general's son, Su Rongsheng, clearly remembered that Su Yu once told them that when the whole country was liberated, he would take them back to his hometown in Hunan to see, but until Su Yu died, he did not take the children to his hometown to see, Su Rongsheng was very puzzled, hasn't the whole country been liberated? Later, he realized that the liberation of the whole country in Su Yu's mouth included the liberation of Taiwan and all the islands. Su Yu's wife Chu Qing was a native of Yangzhou, Jiangsu, joined the New Fourth Army at the age of 15, and later married Su Yu, and the two fell in love all their lives.
After the Battle of Shanghai in 1949, Su Yu accompanied Chu Qing to go shopping in Shanghai, and they walked to a café, Su Yu, who had never spoken much, suddenly said: "This café is good," Chu Qing rarely wondered, could it be that her husband had changed sex? She asked, "*Good?" Su Yu said: "As long as you put four machine guns here, you can block the entire block." Hearing this, Chu Qing was relieved, Su Yu was still the same Su Yu. Few people know that in addition to Su Yu's superb military talent, he also has his own unique skills, he plays the harmonica very well, and in Su Yu's body, there was also an interesting incident related to the harmonica. It was during the Anti-Japanese War, when Su Yu led his troops to transfer, it was close to evening, there was only one school nearby, Su Yu wanted to stay here, and the teachers of this school saw a group of soldiers coming, and immediately closed the school gate.
In desperation, Su Yu had to let everyone rest on the spot, when there was nothing to do, he picked up the harmonica and played a song "Su Wu Shepherd" Who knew that just after blowing, the door of the school opened, and a teacher said: "The general is elegant, he must be a noble person, and he has a good style of watching the army, and he will not break into the door when he is closed, and he is not comparable to ordinary warlords!" In this way, Su Yu relied on his unique harmonica to let the troops successfully stay in this school. After the founding of New China, although Su Yu was in a high position, he never talked about specifications, generally he was light and simple, and there were no requirements in dressing, once, Su Yu wore civilian clothes and came to a certain place, wanting to meet the leaders here, and the sentry saw that he didn't know him, so he stopped him.
Su Yu said: "Little comrade, I have something to find your leader, let me in" The sentry did not let him, and then sent someone to tell him, Su Yu was not angry, so he squatted outside and waited, until the sentry sent someone to call him, he did not go in. Later, Su Yu's wife Chu Qing was hospitalized in 301 Hospital due to illness, Su Yu wanted to visit him, but because there was no time to visit, the medical staff stopped him, Su Yu was not angry when he saw this, so he held a bag of apples, sat quietly on the steps and waited, until the time for the visit came, he did not go in.
Once, Su Yu went to visit Marshal ***, and when he left, Ye Shuai also sent him, Su Yu hurriedly stopped him and said that it must not be, Ye Shuai smiled and said: "Veteran of a hundred battles, how can you not send it?" Su Yu said modestly: "A drop in the ocean, not enough to worry about" Looking at the back of Su Yu leaving, Ye Shuai said with emotion: "The military achievements are not high, the contributions are not arrogant, and it is not simple!" ”
