In modern Chinese history, Ms. Soong Ching Ling is a high-profile woman – one of the founders of the People's Republic of China and a communist fighter hailed by the Chinese Communist Party as a "national treasure".
In her 70-year revolutionary career, she has become a "close comrade-in-arms" with the CCP who shares weal and woe. However, when Shanghai was liberated in 1949, she had an estrangement from the People's Liberation Army, which made her rush directly into the Sanye Headquarters.
Background: On May 12, 1949, the Chinese People's Liberation Army successfully crossed the Yangtze River, and in order to protect Shanghai, an international metropolis and Asia's largest city, from the destruction of the war and protect 6 million residents from being disturbed, the chairman put forward the "Wen Da" request, emphasizing that it is necessary to destroy both the enemy and the city, and win the hearts and minds of the people, just like a "rat thrower", that is, to fight rats and protect vases from damage.
Therefore, after the PLA entered the downtown area of Shanghai, it abandoned the use of heavy ** such as artillery and only used infantry and light ** to engage the enemy in short combat.
The officers and men of the Third Field Army fought one after another in the Battle of Suzhou Creek, staining the river red with blood, and this victory was not easy to come by. Although the battle ended at dawn on May 27, the PLA soldiers did not have time to rest or even drink a sip of hot water.
They slept on the streets, because the Commander-in-Chief had ordered "not to enter people's houses, not to disturb people". It rained in Shanghai for several days, and the weather was cold and damp, and the soldiers lay down on the wet ground.
After dawn, the citizens walked out of their homes, only to find that the streets were lined with PLA soldiers wearing thin yellow uniforms, some of whom still had muddy water on them. This scene took the citizens by surprise.
It was such a noble army that the soldiers would rather sleep on the streets than disturb the peace of the people. The sight moved the townspeople, who took out their food to share with the soldiers, and some even invited them to rest at home.
However, the soldiers politely declined the kindness of the citizens, and some even ran far away to avoid the food brought by the citizens. Ms. Song Qingling also saw this touching scene in the early morning, she was born in Shanghai and has a special affection for Shanghai.
She feared that the war would traumatize the city of Shanghai and that the people would suffer from it. But after the war, what she saw was that Shanghai was as prosperous as ever, the water and electricity were normal, people's lives were not greatly affected, and the streets were still full of people.
Song Qingling couldn't help but compare the People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang army, and was full of emotion: This is the real soldier. She realized that the Communists could defeat the Kuomintang's well-armed long guns and short guns with rifles alone, and she also came to the conclusion that "the days of the Kuomintang are gone." ”
Just as Song Qingling admired the strict military discipline of the People's Liberation Army, she unexpectedly had some friction with them, which made her misunderstand the Communist Party of China and the People's Liberation Army, and went straight to the headquarters to find the best teacher to ask for guilt.
In the turmoil caused by the expropriation of residential buildings, the possibility of the enemy's counterattack could not be ruled out just after the end of the campaign, and the regimental headquarters of the People's Liberation Army urgently needed to establish defensive points. One of the warriors took a fancy to the larger house across the street and decided to camp there as the best place to defend it.
When the doorbell rang, the doorman opened it, and he was surprised to see a soldier with a loaded gun standing outside the door. When they heard that the soldiers were going to camp here, the guards shook their heads and said, "You can't live here." ”
The soldiers had just experienced a life-and-death battle, they were tired and hungry, and they just wanted to find a place to rest, but they didn't know that this residence was Song Qingling's mansion. The doorman's attitude made them anxious, and their voices became louder.
Song Qingling heard the commotion, walked out of the door, and saw the soldier with a gun and the doorman arguing with red faces. She thought of the domineering treatment of the common people by the Kuomintang army, and felt very disappointed in her heart, and became suspicious of the scene where the People's Liberation Army would rather lie down in the wetland than go into the houses to rest.
Why has there been such a big change in the PLA's approach in such a short period of time? Was the previous non-disturbance just a superficial effort?
Soong Ching Ling Mansion is not only her place of residence, but also the home where she and Dr. Sun Yat-sen spend together. This place has a special meaning for her and for the country.
Therefore, she resolutely said: "You can't live here." If you must live, then ask the ** commander to talk to me personally. Although the soldiers didn't know Song Qingling, they were impressed by her temperament and didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reported the matter to their superiors.
When the report was reported to the commander-in-chief, he was planning how to protect the Soong Ching Ling Mansion. He was very anxious, slapped his thigh, and immediately picked up the ** and called Song Qingling.
He explained that the purpose of the soldiers' requisitioned housing was for defense, not rest, and sincerely apologized, saying that the soldiers did not know about the situation in the mansion, offended Song Qingling, and asked her to forgive.
Song Qingling is broad-minded, she understands that things will eventually come to light, and she will not blame the soldiers for this. However, after letting go, ** felt guilty in his heart, and he felt that just hitting ** was not enough to express his sincerity.
So, he immediately went to Song Qingling's residence with relevant personnel to apologize in person. A few days later, he went to Song Qingling's residence with *** Rao Shushi again to apologize.
This surprised Song Qingling, and he really felt the sincerity of **, and the unhappiness in his heart also dissipated. Originally, Shanghai had just been liberated and the situation was chaotic, and how to protect patriots like Soong Ching-ling from the remnants of the enemy became a top priority.
However, unexpectedly, it was the recklessness of the PLA soldiers that led to the conflict with Soong Ching-ling.
In order to ensure the personal safety of Soong Ching Ling, ** specially selected soldiers with a strong sense of responsibility and set up a special guard team to protect Soong Ching Ling's Mansion. However, although the turmoil of the "requisition of the mansion" has subsided, new waves have appeared again in the Soong Ching Ling Mansion.
In order to do a good job of security work and ensure that nothing goes wrong, the guard team is meticulous and always rigorous and serious. They have formulated strict rules and regulations, followed the general principle of "wide exit, strict entry", and strictly prevented dangerous elements from entering the mansion.
In addition, they have specially made passes and stipulated that only those who have them can enter. In implementing this regulation, they particularly emphasized "only certification, not recognition" to ensure the safety of Soong Ching Ling.
However, this strict regulation led to the embarrassing situation that Song Qingling could not enter in front of his house.
When Soong Ching-ling was out to carry out the work of establishing a women's federation, he met a guard who insisted on enforcing the regulations. Although Song Qingling himself was in the car, the guards refused to let him go because he had to enter with a pass in accordance with the regulations.
Soong Ching Ling tried to explain and ask for permission, but the guards still insisted on a pass. Although Song Qingling was annoyed, she got out of the car to communicate with the guards and was eventually released.
This story shows Soong Ching Ling's respect for the rules and her dedication to her work.
A few days ago, the mansion was requisitioned, and a few days later the owner was not allowed to return to his home, is the PLA so domineering? Can't even go back to your own door? I can't stand this kind of treatment, so aren't ordinary people even less free?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she decided not to talk to the guards anymore and asked the driver to take her to the People's Liberation Army Sanye Command to reason with them. Unfortunately, ** was not in the headquarters when he went out to work, and political commissar Guo Huaruo was in charge of some affairs at home.
He warmly received Song Qingling, and after listening to her story, he immediately explained the rules and regulations of the guard. When Song Qingling heard this, it turned out that the guards did it to protect her safety, and the anger in her heart subsided.
Guo Huaruo personally sent her home. As soon as I arrived at Song Qingling's mansion, I saw ** and Nie Fengzhi, the commander of the 27th Army, waiting in front of the door.
* After receiving the news, he decided to personally accompany Nie Fengzhi to greet Song Qingling. After seeing Song Qingling, ** and Nie Fengzhi bowed deeply and apologized again and again. Song Qingling smiled, thinking that it was because the guards didn't know that she was Song Qingling, and she didn't bring a pass herself.
But ** felt that this was his mistake and did not arrange the troops, and apologized for this. In order to express his apology, ** and Nie Fengzhi stood guard in front of Song Qingling's mansion for an hour before leaving.
* I know that Song Qingling's bearing and broad-mindedness will not be angry because of trivial things. Soong Ching-ling thinks about the problem from the perspective of the big picture, and she is concerned about whether the Communist Party can serve the people and whether the People's Liberation Army loves the people.
She closely linked her situation to the fate of China and the Chinese people.
Soong Ching Ling was an important contributor to the Chinese Revolution and respected her as the Communist Party of China"Great nobleman", the respect for her is overflowing. ** The commander-in-chief was also full of admiration for Soong Ching-ling, understanding that she was angry with the style of the Communist Party and the PLA, and if it was not resolved, it might affect the image of the Communist Party in her heart.
Soong Ching-ling's life is full of legends, she is the wife of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and is respected as the "mother of the country" of the Kuomintang China. However, as history progressed, she chose the Chinese Communist Party.
She foresaw that the Kuomintang ** would inevitably be because"Hostile to the people, against the people, oppressive to the people"The Communist Party of China, which represents the people, loves the people, and works for the welfare of the people, will usher in the dawn of victory.
The test jade should be burned for three days, and the material should be identified for seven years. Soong Ching-ling's journey of holding hands with the Communist Party has gone through a long 28 years. From the hesitation of the first acquaintance, to the convincing after contact, and then to the final firmness, she chose a path full of challenges.
Soong Ching Ling once said: "I believe in the Chinese Communist Party, but I need time to observe." She used her eyes to perceive, her heart to feel, and her wisdom to think, and finally decided that only under the leadership of the Communist Party of China could the Chinese revolution move towards victory.
From the beginning of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in 1921 to the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Song Qingling has been exploring the road to the future.
Does she choose to stay in Nanjing to care for her family, or choose Beiping for the sake of the country and the people? After careful consideration, Soong Ching-ling finally stood on the correct political stand, chose the road of continuing the revolution, and became a hero of New China and a great woman admired by the world, always exuding the glory of the revolution.
On the eve of the founding ceremony, the chairman and the prime minister invited Soong Ching Ling to Beijing many times. In order to express this earnest feeling, Deng Yingchao was entrusted by the prime minister to trek through mountains and rivers to Soong Ching Ling's residence and handed over a personal letter from the chairman and the premier.
In the conversation between the two, Deng Yingchao frankly expounded the great significance of Soong Ching-ling's entry into Beijing to New China, and expressed his enthusiasm for building New China with her with great expectations.
Song Qingling was deeply moved by this sincere sincerity, and she said: "As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, I will do it." So, she boarded the train to the north to attend the first meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, at which she was elected vice chairman of the people, and began her new and great revolutionary journey.
With the revolutionary spirit of "peace, struggle, and saving China", Soong Ching Ling inherited the legacy of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and made great contributions to the country and the people as a non-party member.
In the last 15 days of her life, she finally realized her dream of becoming a member of the Chinese Communist Party. Soong Ching-ling's life was full of heroic deeds, which are enough to go down in history, and the small misunderstanding during the liberation of Shanghai was only a small episode on the road of her pursuit of revolution.
In the eyes of posterity, this has added a beautiful story.
