"Dong Biwu, President of the Supreme People's Court, received Chen Geng's **, and Chen Geng's hearty laughter was heard. Chen Geng said mysteriously: Dong Biwu asked in confusion"
Chen Geng specially called Dong Biwu in order to pardon a prisoner who was sentenced to death for **. For this reason, he hurriedly bought a plane ticket and rushed to Beijing, and in the end the prisoner was really pardoned.
So, why did Chen Geng intercede for a death row inmate? Who is this prisoner and why was he pardoned? It all started in 1952. At that time, Chen Geng was still fighting on the Korean battlefield, but he suddenly received an order to return to China.
Despite the fierce fighting on the Korean battlefield, he did not hesitate to return home and carry out orders.
On June 23, Chen Geng limped into Zhongnanhai with exhaustion. As soon as he walked in the door, he was greeted by a warm handshake, and others also stepped forward to shake hands with him cordially and welcome him back to China.
Chen Geng didn't know his intention to be transferred back to China at that time, and it wasn't until the conversation that he understood the deep meaning of ***'s move. After taking a seat on the sofa, ** first asked Chen Geng to talk about how he felt about returning from the front line.
Chen Geng was well aware of the battle situation on the Korean battlefield and the gap between the strength of the enemy and us, he frowned and said some of his thoughts. This statement happened to reach the hearts of *** and *** and others.
The reason why they were in a hurry to transfer him back to China was also for this reason. At that time, our army was indeed backward in many aspects. **Listening to Chen Geng's report, thoughtful.
Historically, ** and Stalin at the important moment of the founding of New China, jointly emphasized the establishment of a strong national defense. After the outbreak of the war, ** and others became more deeply aware of the urgency of the task of national defense modernization.
To this end, they carefully screened the candidates for the establishment of the school, and finally under the joint discussion and difficult choice of the leaders, Chen Geng was selected. Although it was about ***, they did not say the real situation, which caused Chen Geng to receive a seemingly inexplicable order.
After listening to Chen Geng's statement, **'s expression looked very serious. He looked around at the crowd, mentioned Stalin's suggestion, and said to Chen Geng: "What you just said has won my heart, and I agree with your point of view. ”
Then, ** tapped his finger on the table and continued: "Who else in our party is knowledgeable?" Can you find out? Chen Geng was a little caught off guard by this question, although he was good at fighting, he didn't know anything about running a school.
He hurriedly said: "I'm not good at this, I'm afraid I can't do it well." However, ** waved his hand and said firmly, "You are the most suitable person." You once served as the principal of the Red Army School, and there is no doubt about your abilities.
As long as you have the energy, you can always go to the prime minister, to me, or even to the Soviet advisers for help if you have any difficulties. I'm sure you'll be up to the task. Hearing the words of ***, ** also agreed, and said: "You have rich experience, you used to be the head of the Red Army cadre regiment, and your ability is not inferior to anyone." ”
Hearing the encouragement and support of *** and ***, Chen Geng deeply felt the importance of this task. He didn't want to live up to everyone's trust, so he responded with a loud voice: "Please rest assured, please rest assured, please rest assured, the Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely complete the task!" ”
Although Chen Geng accepted the task, he was also a little worried about whether he would be up to the task. He humorously pleaded with ***, hoping that he could become his own "backstage boss" or find a good political commissar for himself.
** and *** laughed when they heard it, Chen Geng's ability was highly trusted by ***. ** even quipped: "I think you have to be a father and a mother yourself." ”
Chen Geng eventually accepted this task, and thus established the famous Military Engineering College of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, or "Kazakhstan Military Industry". However, in the process of school construction, there were many difficulties, which brought many challenges to Chen Geng.
However, ** once said, "He is our treasure and must be kept." ”
When Chen Geng founded the Kazakh Military Industry, he faced a major challenge: the preparation of teachers. He knew that the competence of teachers and the importance of research results to the country could produce countless outstanding talents and save the lives of countless soldiers.
Therefore, he is very cautious about the selection of talents, and after the approval of *** and others, he sent special people to invite people from all over the country. Before parting, Chen Geng specially instructed the staff to invite talents in a negotiated and friendly way, and not to be too tough.
When dealing with affairs, it is important to consider not only your own needs, but also the difficulties that others may face. After confirming this, Chen Geng encouraged the staff to set off as soon as possible and make every effort to find suitable talents.
Professor Cao Hesun was hired as a teaching host at a university in Shanghai with a high salary, and the school specially arranged and renovated the house to show its sincerity. When he was about to move, he received an order from **.
Although the university attaches great importance to this matter, in front of the country, they still decided to cut their love and held a farewell party for Professor Cao Hesun. When Cao returned home, he told his wife, "I am a teacher, I don't live for pleasure. ”
A paper appointment has triggered a boom in talent gathering. Harbin, a vibrant city, has attracted many well-known professors and experts. However, in the process of inviting a well-known expert, there were a few twists and turns.
Chen Geng, a highly respected educator, was working in Kazakhstan's military industry at the time. Despite the hustle and bustle inside and outside the university, his office is located in the old "Harbin Medical University" house that has been moved, and the corridors are full of dilapidated furniture.
When Professor Zhang Shuzu came to visit, the deputy minister of security handed him a list of teachers. On this list, there is a circled name that caught Chen Geng's attention. He took off his glasses, frowned, pointed to the circle and said, "She did not leave with her brother from the Kuomintang, but stayed with her brother from the Communist Party, which shows that she has improved." ”
Just as they were talking, Zhang Shuzu happened to push the door in. He saw the scene inside the door, and was just about to exit, but was stopped by Chen Geng: "Professor Zhang, you come in, I was looking for you." ”
Although the misunderstanding temporarily affected the process of inviting well-known experts, Chen Geng's thoughtfulness and discernment eventually helped him win Zhang Shuzu's support.
This incident also shows Chen Geng's respect for talents and his pursuit of ideological progress.
Chen Geng eagerly asked Zhang Shuzu about the situation of the ballistic expert, but Zhang Shuzu told him in a heavy way that the expert named Shen Yi had been "zero tolerance" by the whole country because of the huge amount of money and could not save him.
Despite this, Chen Geng still couldn't accept the news and wanted to try his best to save this talent. Zhang Shuzu explained that Shen Yi had made a lot of contributions to our party's gun manufacturing before, but now he was facing difficulties because of **, which made him feel very sad.
Hearing this, Chen Geng was also silent, he understood that the matter was irreparable, and he could only accept the reality.
Chen Geng's mood rose and fell after hearing the news. He had no idea that things would be so complicated. Although he respected other specialists, at that moment, the Kazakh military industry was in dire need of a ballistics specialist who was proficient in French.
If Shen Yi can't go to Kazakhstan's military industry, then a large amount of information cannot be translated, which will cause immeasurable losses to both students and the country. Chen Geng suddenly hit the ground with his cane and said firmly: "He is a 'baby', he must be left behind." ”
He had already made up his mind, but the deputy minister was in a dilemma. The deputy minister said anxiously: "Commander, someone else can, but this person can't be transferred, he is a criminal." Chen Geng knew the importance of Shen Yi and decided to let him make meritorious contributions.
The deputy minister tried to persuade him, but Chen Geng interrupted him. He laughed and pondered, apparently having already thought of a solution. Although he can't transfer people himself, he can find people who can.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely relaxed, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a ticket and leave for Beijing immediately.
As soon as Chen Geng arrived in Beijing, he immediately beat Dong Biwu, which made the previous scene happen. After listening to Chen Geng's request, Dong Biwu deeply felt the importance and danger of this matter.
He responded mildly to Chen Geng, saying that he would seriously consider his views and study with other relevant personnel whether it was possible to carry out the execution of sentences outside of prison.
When he learned the news, Chen Geng was excited and urged Dong Biwu to act immediately. Due to the wide range of involvement in this matter, the relevant departments quickly notified *** and *** After their discussion, they considered this to be a special case and could be approved.
Shen Yi was led into the room by the staff and sat on a stool stiffly, his face was pale, his hair was messy, and his mental condition was not good. Shen Yi probably didn't expect that he would be able to go out one day.
From time to time, he secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with his shoulder and elbow, which looked unnatural. Chen Geng noticed his movements and quietly asked the deputy minister why he didn't take off Shen Yi's handcuffs.
The deputy minister was a little embarrassed, and explained in a low voice that it was because he was worried that Shen Yi would escape. Hearing this, Chen Geng was speechless: "Look at him like that, can you escape?" Take it off. ”
The deputy team leader still wanted to struggle again: "Then let's go to Harbin and get it again." Chen Geng sighed: "Comrade, you have to learn to influence people." With that, he walked over and lifted Shen Yi's handcuffs and gave the deputy minister a look.
Seeing this, the deputy minister had to move over slowly and reluctantly opened the handcuffs.
The shackles of the handcuffs were instantly unshackled, and Shen Yi knelt heavily on the ground. Although he did not say a word, he watched the situation around him in horror, convinced that he would also be discriminated against if released, and that the handcuffs might remain on.
However, what he didn't expect was that what he thought would be a long-term bondage was so easily untied. He looked at Chen Geng, tears flowed uncontrollably, and he knelt on the ground and choked up to admit his mistake.
At the same time, he excitedly said that Chen Geng and they are his reborn parents, and no matter where they are, he will repay their kindness. Chen Geng hurriedly pulled him up, asked him not to do this, and comforted him and hoped that he would not discredit the Kazakh military industry.
He promised to arrange a house for him to concentrate on translating scientific and technological information materials, and told him to change his mind and become a new person. So, can Shen Yi listen to Chen Geng's words, really change his mind and reform?
And Chen Geng tried his best to get him out of prison, will he get the reward he deserves?
Not long after taking Shen Yi back, Chen Geng considered that Shen Yi was also a member of the Kazakh military industry and prepared an amnesty order for him. However, when it came to winter, Shen Yi asked about it, but the deputy minister was a little hesitant.
Chen Geng was puzzled by this, but he understood the reason from the deputy minister's explanation. It turned out that Minister Gu said that in recent times, Shen Yi has often drunk until late at night because he didn't know who leaked the news.
This surprised Chen Geng, so he decided to go and see the situation for himself. After the two arrived at Shen Yi's residence, Chen Geng knocked on the window with his hand, Shen Yi sat unkempt behind a pile of materials, saw them come in, and hurriedly got up from the ground to greet them.
He explained that he was working overtime to produce the last batch of materials.
While talking indoors, Chen Geng suddenly felt cold and shivered, and found that there was no fire in the house, so he felt very strange and asked Shen Yi why he didn't make a fire. Shen Yi explained that because there is a lot of important information in the room, starting a fire may cause a fire, and if he is punished, it will be an additional crime.
In addition, Shen Yi thought that if it warmed up, it would be easy to take a nap, so he chose to endure the cold. Chen Geng expressed concern about this, and Shen Yi said with a smile that he had a way to deal with the cold, that is, to drink some wine indoors to keep warm.
Hearing this, Chen Geng was so moved that the corners of his eyes moistened.
Insisting on respecting intellectuals, Chen moved Shen Yi and the other professors to a better-equipped building. His famous quote "We must not only recognize your Long March 25,000, but also recognize the hardships of other people's ten years" reflects his equal treatment.
This kind of respect and equality has deeply touched the professors and experts of the Kazakh military industry, who regard the Kazakh military industry as their home, devote themselves wholeheartedly to education and personnel training, and make important contributions to the country's national defense strength.
Although the history of Kazakhstan's military industry has been frozen by time, its indelible spirit continues to this day, inspiring China's national defense cause to continue to move forward.
