In the early morning of March 1959, He Bingyan, the commander of the Chengdu Military Region, came to the room of ** who was on a business trip with a feeling of guilt. As soon as he entered the door, he said to **: "Mr. Chen, I am guilty, you come and scold me!" ”
When He Bingyan asked ** about his whereabouts, ** suddenly laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "You kid is really guilty, you dare to inquire about me in the territory of the Chengdu Military Region." ”
He Bingyan understood that ** was comforting him, but he still asked with complaint: "Boss, my uncle and aunt live in Chengdu, why don't you tell me?" * patted He Bingyan on the shoulder and explained: "The old man and the old lady have lived with me in Beijing for a while, and they are not used to it, so they have to go back to their hometown.
I settled them in Chengdu, where medical care and transportation were convenient, and I rented a house for them. I went to see it last night and it's all fine, don't worry. ”
After listening to this, He Bingyan immediately promised not to ignore it, he wanted to make up for the responsibilities he had failed to fulfill before, and promised to take care of his parents like his biological parents.
So, how did He Bingyan learn that **'s parents were in Chengdu? We have to start from the beginning. It turned out that just a few days ago, **accompanied *** on a foreign visit to stay in Chengdu for a day, and the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee was responsible for the reception.
Of course, the leaders of the Chengdu Military Region were also indispensable to the personnel who greeted them at the airport.
He Bingyan and *** had a long talk late at night, and when they were about to leave the guest house, they found that ** went out in a car alone. He immediately asked where ** was going, but ** told him that he was just going to run some errands and would be back soon, telling him to go back early to rest.
He Bingyan was puzzled by ** going out late at night, so he went to ask the secretary. The secretary revealed that **'s parents live in Chengdu, and he is taking the time to visit them.
When He Bingyan learned that the two old men had been here for a long time, but he didn't know about it, he felt deeply derelict in his duty. As the commander of the Chengdu Military Region, he did not fulfill his responsibility to take care of Lao Shuai's parents, and he did not even learn any relevant information.
He found ** early and sincerely stated that he was guilty and did not take good care of the second elder. But in fact, this is the strict requirement of the older generation of revolutionaries for themselves, and they are unwilling to trouble others for their own family affairs.
* The marshal revealed to him the addresses of his parents only after He Bingyan's pleading. From then on, He Bingyan took care of his parents like his own parents, and took care of the parents of the ** marshal with all his might.
Every festival, He Bingyan will bring the whole family, bring fruits and snacks to the old people's homes and celebrate with them. The old man was seriously ill and hospitalized, and He Bingyan would find time to visit no matter how busy he was.
His wife studied medicine and even moved to the home of the elderly to provide nursing. He Bingyan often told his family that Mr. Chen was always a busy person, and as a member of the military system, he had the responsibility to fulfill his filial piety for Mr. Chen.
He Bingyan's filial piety touched the whole family. Every weekend, the second elder will cook dishes and look forward to He Bingyan's arrival. Even if He Bingyan himself could not come in person, he would arrange for the children to visit the elderly and chat with them.
This kind of family-like relationship makes the old man feel very happy. However, He Bingyan's life was full of twists and turns. He was seriously injured in the revolutionary war, and the work pressure after the founding of the People's Republic of China seriously affected his health.
On July 1, 1960, he died of illness at the age of 56. Although he is deceased, his spirit and deeds will forever be etched in our hearts. He Bingyan was China's first deceased founding general.
During his hospitalization, Marshal's parents visited him in the hospital every day. Even though He Bingyan was too ill to see anyone, they waited at the door, even for a day.
Their care and respect made He Bingyan deeply grateful.
On the day He Bingyan died, the two old men wept silently in the coffin and cried bitterly, calling He Bingyan's name all the time. Their affectionate tears fully prove that although they are not relatives, they have a deep affection like relatives.
