As we all know, the original wish of the Communist Party was to hope that the people would be able to live a good life. Because our Party adheres to the practice of Marxist thought, it has attracted a large number of people with lofty ideals to join the Communist Party and fight for the happiness of the people together.
In the course of the revolution, many Kuomintang members were also attracted by the advanced ideas of our Party and resolutely threw themselves into our Party's lineup.
Among the many compatriots who have been subsumed into our Party, there are many senior officers of the Kuomintang, and Fu Zuoyi is one of them.
Fu Zuoyi was extremely prestigious among the Kuomintang, but at the crucial moment he chose to cooperate with our party to jointly resist Japan, which ultimately played a role in fueling the cause of our country's liberation and the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the founding of New China, all policy decisions need to be implemented as soon as possible, so the first Political Consultative Conference is particularly important.
At this meeting, Premier Zhou Enlai published the list of future heads of various ministries of the state, and what was unexpected was that Fu Zuoyi, who was sitting in the audience, actually wept because of this list, and the meeting was also suspended because of this small episode.
Fu Zuoyi was born in Shanxi in 1895, because of the influence of his time, he was determined to serve the country from an early age, so he studied very hard, joined the army primary school in elementary school, and participated in the Xinhai Revolution at the age of 15, which was one of the earliest young people to participate in the revolution at that time.
Influenced by the development of the local revolution, Fu Zuoyi joined the local army after graduation. Because of his strong command ability, he was quickly valued by his superiors and his rank was constantly improved.
In 1927, Fu Zuoyi was promoted to lieutenant general, and then he was sent and engaged in various battles, and his prestige within the Kuomintang gradually increased.
In 1928, Fu Zuoyi led an army to raid Zhuozhou and fought a beautiful battle, thus gaining control of Zhuozhou. In the face of the enemy's counterattack, Fu Zuoyi was not afraid, but instead held his position, and eventually forced the enemy to make peace with the Kuomintang.
In 1937, Fu Zuoyi cooperated with the local Eighth Route Army in Shanxi to attack the Japanese Kou, and in the course of continuous exchanges, Fu Zuoyi came into contact with the ideas of communism and found that this was truly suitable for China's development, which coincided with his own desire to save the country and the people.
In fact, Fu Zuoyi was also able to quickly understand the ideology of our party and was inseparable from his daughter.
Fu Zuoyi's daughter joined the Communist Party in 1947 and has been infiltrating her father's ideology. Over time, Fu Zuoyi understood that the Communist Party is a political party that truly does things for the people.
After spending so many years in the Kuomintang, he gradually developed a dislike and a desire to get rid of this decadent party, and gradually became at odds with the ideas of the Kuomintang, and this mentality of his reached its peak after seeing Chiang Kai-shek's appeasement policy.
In 1949, the defeat of the Kuomintang army led by Chiang Kai-shek was decided, and it showed a tendency to collapse.
Fu Zuoyi witnessed all this and was very entangled in his heart; as a Kuomintang officer himself, he himself, seeing that the party was so intrigued and did not think about the people at all, he was helpless to the extreme, and finally decided to cooperate with our army to solve the Peiping issue.
Fu Zuoyi understood that when he made this decision, he would inevitably attract many insults within the Kuomintang, but for the sake of the country's safety, he was willing to do so.
With the joint efforts of Fu Zuoyi and our army, Peiping was successfully liberated, and the country had a peaceful atmosphere, but at this time Fu Zuoyi could not be happy, because he knew that he had become a "traitor" to the Kuomintang.
Fu Zuoyi saw that the people had taken to the streets at this time, celebrating liberation, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he knew that he had made the right choice, at this time he had no time to think about what kind of treatment he would suffer in the future, he just felt that the people were happy, he was satisfied.
In 1949, the first cppcc meeting was held in Beijing, and Fu Zuoyi also attended the meeting, at which the list of holders of some important posts in New China would be announced.
Fu Zuoyi was very nervous at the beginning of the meeting, because he had been a senior general of the Kuomintang, and his name had been written on the list of war criminals, so when he heard that he had been appointed minister of water resources, he could not believe it.
The man who had never shed a single tear on the battlefield actually cried at the meeting, knowing that at this moment he was truly recognized by the Communist Party. He cried so much that Premier Zhou had to call a halt to the meeting to calm his mood.
Fu Zuoyi wiped away his tears and said that he was deeply touched by the unanimous approval of all the leaders, and he felt that he had been treated with impunity and could still assume such an important post, and his gratitude to the Communist Party was overflowing with words.
After taking office, Fu Zuoyi worked very cautiously, and for the development of water conservancy in New China, he often walked through various dangerous places, just to do his own work well. With his help, China's water conservancy industry has developed rapidly.
When Fu Zuoyi first served as minister, many people did not recognize his identity, believing that he was a Kuomintang soldier and that there must be ulterior motives in lurking in our party, so most of the documents were not even approved by Fu Zuoyi, but handed over to the vice minister for handling.
When Chairman Mao inquired about Fu Zuoyi, he pretended that he was too late to approve it, and the chairman knew his difficulties, so he stipulated that if the documents could not be implemented without the approval of the minister, this would solve Fu Zuoyi's embarrassment and facilitate his better work.
Fu Zuoyi never imagined that as a former general of the Nationalist Army, he would actually be able to participate in the construction of socialism, which was the trust of the party and the people in him, as well as his encouragement and support.
It is precisely our party's magnanimity and broad-mindedness that does not care about the past that will allow Fu Zuoyi to do his best to contribute to the new China, and he has also found his own value in such activities.
As a patriotic soldier, Fu Zuoyi made tremendous contributions to the people in the struggle against aggression and the war of liberation in New China. Although he had belonged to the Kuomintang army and was under the command of the Kuomintang, when faced with major national difficulties, he resolutely and resolutely chose to fight against the enemy, did not take into account the orders issued by the Nationalist army, and protected the safety of people's lives and property.
After liberation, he served as the minister of water resources, and in order to bear our trust in him, he has been rushing to the front line of water conservancy research, leading everyone to develop and build China's water conservancy projects. In terms of flood fighting and disaster resistance, it also made a good demonstration for the people who came after it, and it was unanimously praised inside and outside the party.
Fu Zuoyi understands the great righteousness and can use his knowledge to think about what kind of road is suitable for China. Fu Zuoyi's starting point is all for the people, and he has in his heart the tens of millions of people's soldiers in China, and his spirit of having the world in his heart is worth learning from every one of our young people.
