Li Mo'anAfter returning to China, Deng Yingchao looked for him for many years.
** Life was dying, lying on the bed, he tossed and turned, looked at Deng Yingchao beside him, and seemed to have a new idea. He asked Deng Yingchao if there was any news of Li Mo'an.
Deng Yingchao saw the embarrassment on her husband's face and replied softly. Listened, sighed softly.
Six years later, in 1981, the 70th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution ushered in, and the relevant departments of China held a grand commemorative meeting in Beijing. Li Mo'an, who has attracted the attention of the prime minister, was invited to return to China from the United States.
As a student of Huangpu, and had close cooperation with our army in the War of Resistance and Liberation, especially in promoting the Changsha Uprising, the relevant departments attached great importance to his return, and specially arranged him to sit in the first row.
Deng Yingchao walked up to the rostrum, recognized Li Mo'an at a glance, and couldn't help but cry like rain.
Deng Yingchao walked down from the rostrum and walked straight to Li Mo'an, Li Mo'an looked a little nervous and a little guilty, he held Deng Yingchao's hand tightly. Deng Yingchao spoke first: "Mo'an, you're finally back, what have you been to all these years?"
Enlai has always cared about your situation, and constantly sent people to find your news, and he had a hard time looking for you. Now that you're back, we can report to him that he already knows all this in heaven. ”
At this time, Li Mo'an was already in tears: "Mo'an feels extremely honored to be the person who is so concerned." ”
Deng Yingchao didn't say anything anymore, just held Li Mo'an's hand tightly. What is the connection between Li Mo'an and ***? Why is *** still thinking about Li Mo'an before he dies?
He is known as Huangpu's "civil and military all-rounder".
In 1924, in order to cultivate revolutionary forces, Sun Yat-sen established two schools in Guangdong, focusing on culture and military affairs. Among them, the school of martial arts is widely known as the Whampoa Military Academy.
When the Whampoa Military Academy was established, Sun Yat-sen gave an order, and then the Guangzhou Army Lecture Hall was incorporated into it. In fact, Sun Yat-sen's decision did send a large number of revolutionary talents to the Whampoa Military Academy, including the founding generals such as Chen Geng, Song Xilian, and Deng Wenyi, as well as Kuomintang figures such as Li Mo'an.
Li Mo'an, a native of Changsha, Hunan, was born in 1904, although his family was poor, but he was successfully admitted to Changsha Normal School by virtue of his hard work, which is the alma mater of ***.
If Li Mo'an has been attending this school, he will become an alumnus with ***. However, in that war-torn era, Li Mo'an was not satisfied with becoming a simple reader.
In 1923, Li Mo'an went to Guangzhou with several other people with lofty ideals and entered the army lecture hall to study. Soon, the Army Lecture Hall was merged into the Whampoa Military Academy, and Li Mo'an also became a student of the first phase of Whampoa.
During his time in the military academy, Li Mo'an was praised for his hard work and serious attitude, and even circulated in the military academy that "Wen has He Zhenhan, Wu has Hu Zongnan, and Li Mo'an who is both literary and martial".
This excellent performance caught the attention of two people.
A talent like Li Mo'an, who is both civil and military, you have to try to get him to join us. Although it was a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chiang Kai-shek remained highly vigilant against the Communists.
As the director of the school's political department, *** also showed a strong interest in Li Mo'an.
Soon, ** invited Chen Geng to come over and told him: "Chen Geng, your little fellow Li Mo'an is very motivated, if there is a suitable opportunity, I hope you can consider making him a member of the Communist Party." ”
Chen Geng immediately understood what he meant, and a few days later, Chen Geng found Li Mo'an. Li Mo'an was born in 1904, and Chen Geng was born in 1903.
Moreover, Chen Geng's experience is richer than Li Mo'an's, and he feels very comfortable doing things, so Li Mo'an affectionately calls Chen Geng his eldest brother. Seeing Li Mo'an, Chen Geng didn't say much polite words, and said directly: "If you want to become a real revolutionary soldier, you must join the real revolutionary party, and a talent like you should become a member of the Communist Party." ”
Chen Geng said to Li Mo'an: "The Communist Party organization is an advanced political party dedicated to fighting for the liberation of the toiling masses. Your eldest brother has also joined this party.
Moreover, Director Zhou, whom you admire very much, is also a member of the Communist Party. Hearing the news, Li Mo'an was very excited and asked, "Director Zhou is also a member of the Communist Party?" ”
Chen Geng told Li Mo'an that in addition to a few of them, Jiang Xianyun, Xu Jishen, Zuo Quan and others were all members of the Communist Party. Li Mo'an was deeply encouraged and immediately asked Chen Geng to take him to join the Communist Party.
Chen Geng immediately reported the matter to ***, and ** readily agreed, so Li Mo'an became the first student in the first phase of Huangpu to join our party. ”
** At the party joining ceremony, Li Mo'an was highly praised for his performance, praising him as the first Communist Party member among the students, which was a good start. His words and deeds have won the admiration and love of his classmates.
Being so encouraged, Li Mo'an was very excited and said that he would go all out for the revolutionary cause.
Li Mo'an's performance impressed *** and placed high hopes on him. Before the 1925 Crusades, he was appointed secretary of the school's political department. However, Li Mo'an's actions exceeded the expectations of ***, he was not only the first to join the party, but also the first to **, showing unique determination and courage.
Despite the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the student relations between the two parties at the Whampoa Military Academy were tense. Under Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, He Jinhan founded an organization called the "Sun-Wenist Society", whose members were mostly Kuomintang members.
In response, ** organized an organization called the "China Young Military Federation", most of whose members were members of the Communist Party. During his time in Whampoa, the two organizations often engaged in heated debates and conflicts, which put Li Mo'an under pressure.
Li Mo'an advocated that students from both parties should abandon disputes and work together to overthrow the warlords and resist imperialism. When students debated and even got into physical altercations, he tried his best to mediate as a secretary.
This approach was beyond reproach in the context of the time, but in reality, Li Mo'an ignored an important issue.
The struggle between Li Mo'an and Xu Jishen is not simply a dispute within the school, but stems from the disagreement between the two philosophies. This made it impossible for them to reach a consensus, and Li Mo'an paid the price for his youthful frivolity.
As the leader of the party group, Xu Jishen has repeatedly criticized Li Mo'an for vacillating and being too compromised in his political stance. However, Li Mo'an felt very aggrieved by this, and his next behavior made Xu Jishen even more angry.
Xu Jishen and Li Mo'an were 20 years old, at the age of love. They fell in love with a female student at the Zhixin School, so at every party group meeting, Li Mo'an always found an excuse to ask for leave and did not show up.
Xu Jishen criticized him many times, believing that there was something wrong with his thinking. However, Li Mo'an did not explain too much. As time passed, he also suffered setbacks on the woman's side because he couldn't handle the affairs of the party group.
Eventually, they had to break up.
Li Mo'an was dissatisfied with the party group meeting and blamed all his unsatisfactory results on the meeting, so he withdrew in anger, showing the posture of an immature revolutionary. It was during this period that he made a decision that surprised ***.
After the Zhongshan ship incident, Chiang Kai-shek's sinister intentions were finally revealed to the world, and then he ordered the dissolution of the "China ** People's Federation", which was mainly composed of Communist Party members. During this time, Chiang Kai-shek sent people to lobby Li Mo'an, trying to draw him to his side.
At this time, Li Mo'an was full of dissatisfaction with the Communist Party organization, and he agreed without hesitation, and publicly announced that he had quit the Communist Party.
You made a good start, but you were also the one who caused the bad ending. Li Mo'an's withdrawal from the party has made *** unable to let go of his heart. From then on, Li Mo'an sided with Chiang Kai-shek and became an important general of the Kuomintang.
After graduating from Whampoa and failing the Great Revolution, Li Mo'an never had contact with *** again, but *** has always been concerned about his student. When they resisted Japan together, ** spoke highly of Li Mo'an.
After the Xi'an Incident in 1936, Li Mo'an was ordered to lead his troops into Xi'an. While he was concentrating on the map, suddenly the guards came to report: "Someone is visiting the door. ”
Li Mo'an quickly stepped forward, warmly shook the hand of the visitor, and said excitedly: "Director Zhou, we haven't seen each other for ten years, I have always missed you, teacher, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”
It turned out that the person standing in front of Li Mo'an was ***
Mo An, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss it very much. Although the battlefield is competing, you and I always think of each other in our hearts. "Li Mo'an was deeply moved by his sincere words, and he said firmly:"Now that our Party has decided to fight together against Japan, I will resolutely not participate in the civil war. "
**After hearing this, he nodded with relief"We are finally on the same front. "With the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Mo'an fulfilled his promise and joined hands with the Eighth Route Army to fight the enemy together.
Li Mo'an actively advocated protracted guerrilla warfare in the Kuomintang camp, and cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to establish a training course for guerrilla cadres in South Vietnam to train elites for guerrilla warfare. In the Battle of Xinkou, he commanded the troops to work closely with the Eighth Route Army and successfully set a new record of annihilating the enemy in the North China Battlefield.
He later wrote in his memoirs: "Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party once fought each other, they are now standing on the same battlefield, giving up their past grievances and joining forces to resist Japan, which makes me feel very emotional."
Cooperation is beneficial to both parties, and division is harmful to both, which is our common lesson. ”
In October 1937, the team led by ** successfully blew up 24 Japanese planes at Yangmingbao. This made the Japanese army very angry, so they commanded the army to launch an attack on the *** department.
After getting the news, ** immediately sent a telegram to Li Mo'an and asked him to provide cover for the Eighth Route Army. Li Mo'an didn't say a word, and immediately agreed. It was precisely because of Li Mo'an's support that the uprising finally succeeded, and ** returned to his hometown at the age of 86.
During the Liberation War, Li Mo'an fought against the People's Liberation Army, however, his opponent was none other than the famous Su Yu. Under Su Yu's careful command, no matter what tactics Li Mo'an used, he could not escape the fate of defeat.
Despite this, Li Mo'an did not complain, he knew that he had done his best, and the existence of the gap was unavoidable. Therefore, after fighting Su Yu, Li Mo'an chose to quit the army and no longer served as a general.
In 1948, Li Mo'an was appointed deputy director of the Changsha Suiyi Administration and commander of the 17th Pacification District, and he worked closely with Cheng Qian to prepare for the Changsha Uprising. Two months before the uprising, Li Mo'an quietly went to Hong Kong.
In August 1949, Li Mo'an and 44 other senior Kuomintang military and political personnel telegraphed an uprising in Hong Kong, contributing to the liberation of the country. **After learning about it, he said with satisfaction: "Li Mo'an is worthy of being my Whampoa student." ”
Li Mo'an did not live a peaceful life in Hong Kong, some people invited him to Taiwan, and some people invited him to go to the United States, but he politely refused, saying that he had ended his military and political career and was willing to live an ordinary life.
In the decades that followed, Li Mo'an split between Argentina and the United States. However, in 1981, he accepted an invitation to return to China to attend a meeting to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution.
Deng Yingchao conveyed ***'s thoughts about him to Li Mo'an, which made Li Mo'an both moved and ashamed, and realized that he had lived up to ***'s trust. Since then, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cause of the reunification of the motherland and served as the president of the Whampoa Military Academy Alumni Association.
