In 1955, the Chinese People's Liberation Army held its first investiture ceremony, and 1,048 soldiers who had made outstanding contributions during the revolutionary years were awarded the rank of general. They were all the founding fathers of the Republic, and each of them made great achievements in the revolutionary years.
After the establishment of the republic, we will not forget their contributions, and no matter how many battles they have, the country will remember them.
Chen Changhao, who was once as famous as Marshal ***, did not receive any title at the 55-year award ceremony, which became a historical controversy. Compared with the situation of the marshal as deputy director in his later years, what is the situation of Chen Changhao?
What happened to his descendants?
In 1926, Chen Changhao resolutely joined the Communist Party of China, and in order to absorb advanced theoretical knowledge, he crossed thousands of rivers and mountains, went to the Soviet Union, and devoted himself to the upsurge of red construction.
There, he studied various theories in depth, laying a solid foundation for his later career as a "theoretician". In 1931, Chen Changhao returned to the motherland with the excellent experience of studying in the Soviet Union, and his outstanding performance won the appreciation of the organization, and he was promoted to the political commissar of the Red Fourth Army Corps, becoming the backbone of the corps.
Chen Changhao and his partner, the perfect integration of theory and actual combat, made them complement each other in cooperation, successfully led the Red Fourth Army to many victories, and became the core force of the Red Army.
Their tacit cooperation made the Red Fourth Army invincible, and Chen Changhao and *** were also known as the mainstays of the Red Fourth Army.
** He was a partner with Chen Changhao and jointly created a revolutionary cause. After the Red Army's Long March, they established a red base in Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, in an attempt to expand the revolutionary gains.
In order to achieve this goal, in 1937, part of the Red Army began the Western Expedition under the leadership of Chen Changhao. However, their opponent was the northwestern warlord Ma Jiajun.
As a representative of the "theoretical school", Chen Changhao has the advantage of being able to provide a well-thought-out strategy, but the disadvantage is that he lacks an intuitive response to the harsh reality. The cruelty and cunning of the warlords in the northwest made it difficult for Chen Changhao to adapt, and the advance of the Red Army was seriously hampered.
Four months later, Chen Changhao was forced to return to Yan'an with his team because no results had been achieved. He immediately resigned from his military position, believing that the failure of the Western Expedition was entirely his responsibility, which led to a great waste of the strength of the Red Army and hindered the development of the revolutionary cause.
In order to take responsibility for this, he voluntarily retired from the first line and went to the second-line propaganda department to take a civilian position.
Chen Changhao's Former Residence Chen Changhao was in anxiety, depression and other bad emotions for a long time, and his physical health was seriously damaged, so he had to go to the Soviet Union for recuperation until 1952, when he returned to China.
After returning to China, he met his former comrades-in-arms and expressed the guilt in his heart over the years. But his comrades-in-arms told him that the failure of the Western Expedition was not his fault alone, and that New China had been established, and he could let go of his past troubles and continue to serve the country.
Under the careful persuasion of his comrades-in-arms, Chen Changhao gradually got out of the psychological predicament. Under the arrangement of the organization, he was sent to the Marxist-Leninist Institute for in-depth study by virtue of his expertise in theoretical research, and during this period, he also served as the deputy director of the Translation Bureau, and successfully completed the compilation of the Russian-Chinese Dictionary, and his theoretical research results attracted wide attention and praise at that time.
Under his careful teaching, Chen Changhao's children have also become outstanding talents in their respective fields. His eldest son, Chen Zuze, became a nuclear physicist and made important contributions to the development of nuclear science in New ChinaHis second son, Chen Zutao, became the founder of China.
It can be said that Chen Changhao's children are also worthy of their father and have become pillars of their respective fields.
