In 1965, the commander of the Air Force and the founding general Liu Yalou died of illness, and he invited his widow Zhai Yunying to come to the West Flower Hall with a heartache, and the two sat opposite each other, and the prime minister's tears slipped down like a pearl with a broken thread, and he choked up: "The departure of Comrade Liu Yalou is like the fall of the brightest star in the night sky, how can I not be ......saddened by it."Where to find talent to replace the position of commander of the Air Force? ”
Liu Yalou's death contains deep regret and helplessness behind it. As early as 1964, after he returned from a visit to Romania, his body was like an old tree that had been attacked by the cold wind, and he was withering day by day. Noticing his abnormality, he asked with concern, "Are you unwell?" With such a pale face, let's go to the hospital and have a look. Liu Yalou waved his hand lightly and refused to inspect on the grounds that he was busy with work.
However, the disease, like a cunning fox, has long been lurking quietly. Under the repeated persuasion of his family and comrades-in-arms, Liu Yalou reluctantly agreed to go to the hospital. The results of the examination were like a bolt from the blue, shocking**. After hearing the news, he immediately gave important instructions: "We must go all out to find the best medical resources and vow to cure Comrade Liu Yalou!" ”
As a result, Liu Yalou was rushed to Shanghai Huadong Hospital. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and the Ministry of Health quickly mobilized oncologists from all over the country to formulate a tailor-made plan for him. **During the visit to Shanghai, I took time to visit the hospital. I haven't seen him for a few months, Liu Yalou has been disfigured, and the prime minister is like a knife when he sees this. Liu Yalou comforted the prime minister in turn, his optimism and strength were moving.
When *** was ready to leave, Liu Yalou insisted on saying goodbye in person. The prime minister couldn't resist him, so he could only let him tremble and send him to the door. After leaving the hospital, ** couldn't control his emotions anymore, tears welled up, and he whispered: "I will never come to visit you in the hospital again." I can't bear to see you so sick and insist on sending me off. ”
However, the wheels of fate did not stop there. On May 7, 1965, General Liu Yalou, a hero who dedicated his life to the country and the people, died of illness at the age of 55. When the news came, the whole country mourned, and Liu Yalou's family was even more grief-stricken.
At the memorial service, ** held Zhai Yunying's hand tightly and recalled the bits and pieces of Liu Yalou's life. Zhai Yunying said with tears in his eyes: "He has been thinking about others all his life, and in the end, he has never thought about himself." The prime minister felt the same way, tears blurred his eyes again, and he choked up: "The departure of Comrade Liu Yalou is a huge loss to our party and our army. His talent and courage are really hard to find a replacement......”
In this era of heroes, Liu Yalou's departure is undoubtedly a huge tragedy. His departure not only deprived the Air Force of an outstanding commander, but also deprived the country of a loyal guardian. His spirit and deeds will always inspire us to move forward.
