In October 1943, the then New Fourth Army was transferred to the Huainan area, and the military headquarters was set up in Huanghuatang, Xuyi, where a very important thing occurred, that is, the differences between Comrade Chen Yi and Rao Shushi, which lasted for a long time, and finally Chairman Mao mediated, and finally resolved the differences between the two.

At that time, Chairman Mao often went to Comrade Chen Yi to enlighten him, and also said a famous sentence, which was also his request for Comrade Chen Yi, Chairman Mao said, "As a politician, you must practice patience." Chairman Mao's vision pointed out this problem very sharply; presumably this was also tempered by his work over the years, Chairman Mao's character was tempered day after day, and Comrade Chen Yi has always used this sentence to demand of himself after Chairman Mao's enlightenment.
In 1893, in the last few days of the year, Shaoshan, Hunan Province, ushered in a newborn, and this man who came out of Hunan would resolutely throw himself into the revolution in the next half century, become a staunch Marxist, and lead the vast number of Chinese sons and daughters to push the three mountains on their bodies, and come out of the long dark years to be the masters of New China.
Mao Zedong went to school in his childhood, and in the school, he seriously studied the knowledge of the school and made many good friends, one of whom was named Xiao Zizhuang, and he had an older brother, named Xiao Zisheng, who founded the Xinmin Society in Hunan, but this was all a matter of later, and they were all young at this time.
Young Mao Zedong
The father of the Xiao brothers used to be a teacher, and there were many books in the family, Xiao Zizhuang borrowed a lot of books to show Mao Zedong, some of these books have very advanced ideas, and they also had a lot of influence on Mao Zedong.
Later, Mao Zedong was admitted to the Hunan First Normal School, and Xiao Zisheng became an alumnus, he also met Cai Hesen here, all three of them were young people with lofty ideals at that time, and later Chairman Mao wrote a poem "Qia classmates are young, the style is flourishing, the book business is angry, and the rebuke of Fang Shuo" is probably what comes to mind, they are three people who have also studied with Mr. Yang Changji, the relationship is more intimate, and the classmates call them "The Three Friends of the Xiangjiang River".
Later, the three of them and some aspiring young people founded the Xinmin Society, where they discussed the road to national salvation together, and also organized their classmates to go to France to work and study together.
Later, as the Xinmin Society became more and more mature, many students went to France one after another, cai and sen and the two brothers of the Xiao family were among them, and Mao Zedong stayed in China, and when the storm of the May Fourth Movement swept the country in 1919, Mao Zedong founded the progressive journal "Xiangjiang Review" in Hunan, using this newspaper to unite advanced young people and contribute to enlightenment ideas and exploration of the revolutionary road.
Mao Zedong's "The Great Union of the People" was published during this period and caused great repercussions. From this article, we can glimpse the idea of the young Mao Zedong, who believed that the masses of the people should unite, which is the key to determining the victory or defeat of the revolution, and not only that, but the words are also filled with the optimism and confidence of the young Mao Zedong on the revolutionary road.
Before and after the May Fourth Movement, Mao Zedong came into contact with Marxism, coupled with the contact with Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, mao Zedong's understanding of Marxism continued to deepen, which also had a great impact on Mao Zedong's thought, in the years after that, Mao Zedong was very nostalgic for the experience of this period, when the leaders of the Party Central Committee went to Beijing before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao unconsciously recalled Mr. Li Dazhao when he saw the scene in Beijing, he said that he had also come to Beiping before. At that time, I met Mr. Dazhao, a very good man, who helped him become a Marxist.
Li Dazhao
At the end of 1920, Mao Zedong founded a communist organization in Hunan, and the following year he also attended the First Congress of the Communist Party of China as a representative, and was one of the founders of the Communist Party of China.
The young Mao Zedong was not afraid, went to lead the workers' movement and the peasant movement, and made many contributions to the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists while contributing to the revolution, and in 1925 he also carried out the peasant movement when he returned to his hometown to recuperate, at this time Chiang Kai-shek's wolf ambitions had begun to see the beginning, especially after Chiang Kai-shek deliberately created the Zhongshan ship incident in 1926, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai and other comrades openly counterattacked despite danger.
Later, Chiang Kai-shek brazenly launched a counter-revolutionary coup, and the situation of the Communists at home became very dangerous, and in such a dangerous situation, Mao Zedong launched an autumn harvest uprising on the border of Xianggan and Gansu, but the heroic Communists were fearless, and the spark of stars was ignited from all over the country, and they fought hard, and finally formed a burning trend, and the Red Army of workers and peasants with sickles and hammers was also formed.

The experience of this period also played some role for Mao Zedong; at the Seventh Party Congress of the Red Fourth Army held in 1929, the young Mao Zedong was full of blood and flesh, and many comrades were also like this, and the atmosphere of discussion within the Party was very warm, and it was not too much to say that it was "hard and hard", such an atmosphere affected unity, Mao Zedong understood this truth, so he would have the experience of practicing patience, and later Comrade Chen Yi also had a very high evaluation of Mao Zedong's patience, saying that he was beyond the reach of Chairman Mao.
After many years of resistance to the Kuomintang's reactionary rule, the Long March, and so on, many later party and state leaders grew up rapidly, but study is a gradual process, and only by continuous study can we gradually improve ourselves, which is also the reason for what happened in Huanghuatang, but fortunately Chairman Mao mediated from it, and Comrade Chen Yi also corrected it in time.
Born in 1901 in a family in Zhang'anjing Village, Lezhi, Sichuan Province, Chen Yi studied hard and was admitted to the Chengdu Institute of Technology, and then embarked on the road to work-study in France at the age of 18, but soon after, because he participated in the patriotic movement of Chinese students in France, he was arrested and escorted back to China.
Shortly after returning to China, he returned to his hometown, and in the same year, he also exchanged letters with Cai and Sen, and through his introduction, joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League. Shortly after studying at the Faculty of Letters of the Sino-French University in Beijing, he was also introduced to join the Communist Party of China, opening up the revolutionary road of Comrade Chen Yi. The year was 1923.
Young Chen Yi
After Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup in 1927, Chen Yi launched the Nanchang Uprising together with Comrade Zhou Enlai and others, and later went to Shonan to launch an uprising, Comrade Chen Yi also began to emerge, during the period of the agrarian revolutionary war, Comrade Chen Yi successively held many leading posts in the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, made many contributions, and the baptism of war also allowed him to gradually grow from a young man with lofty ideals into an excellent cadre and general.
The Huanghuatang Incident occurred in 1943, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was nearing its end, when Comrade Chen Yi held many posts in the New Fourth Army, and the previous coincidence of chance gave him and Rao some suspicions, and it was very unfavorable for the cadres to have suspicions, so Chairman Mao quickly came forward to adjust, and in order to stabilize the situation first, he had to let Chen Yi go to Yan'an for a meeting to temporarily separate the two.
This made Chen Yi feel a little aggrieved, and he also wrote a poem to describe the mood at this time, but at the same time he had some hopes, because going to Yan'an was able to clarify some problems to Chairman Mao, so as soon as he went to Yan'an, he wanted to talk about this matter, but Chairman Mao rejected him, saying that if he wanted to talk about three years of guerrilla warfare, then he could talk about it a lot, and as for the matter of Huainan, he should not mention it.
This is not that Chairman Mao did not want to resolve it, but where his wisdom lay; he wanted Comrade Chen Yi to calm down, chen Yi came to Yan'an in early March, and it was not until the middle of March that Chairman Mao talked to Comrade Chen Yi and began to resolve the contradictions between the two men.
Chairman Mao and Chen Yi were in Yan'an
Comrade Chen Yi also wrote a letter to Chairman Mao to express his intentions, and Chairman Mao also sincerely wrote a reply to Comrade Chen Yi on April 9, which was written in this letter, "Be a politician." Patience must be practiced. In addition, he was also concerned about the ordinary life of Comrade Chen Yi.
Later, Chairman Mao worried about Chen Yi and enlightened him in person the next day, and after a few words, Comrade Chen Yi was convinced, and also said that his original anger was nothing when Chairman Mao said it, and since then Comrade Chen Yi has always demanded of himself with Chairman Mao's words in the letter, and later Chairman Mao published "Study and the Current Situation", which also benefited Chen Yi a lot, and also wrote a letter to Chairman Mao to talk about his ideological and cultivation feelings.
Chairman Mao, who read the letters, was very happy for this comrade-in-arms, and hastily wrote a reply letter, which was full of encouragement to Comrade Chen Yi, and Chairman Mao also saw the maturity of the party from it, and Chairman Mao called this opening up the joints, especially the joints in ideology, which is very conducive to upholding the truth and correcting mistakes, and many cadres in the party have grown up in this way.
Chairman Mao's vision is very sharp, and he sees the importance of politicians practicing patience, because for politicians, work is not their own, but concerns countless people, so patience is not to let people put things aside and do not ask questions, not to see and not to be upset, but to calmly restrain themselves from completing themselves.
Later, Comrade Chen Yi was assigned by the Party Central Committee to work in central China, but Chen Yi still had some concerns in his heart, and he also directly expressed his concerns to Chairman Mao, fearing that after he returned to central China, he would have nothing to do and would not be able to play the role he should play.
Chairman Mao immediately encouraged him when he heard such words, "How it does not work, as long as you sit there, it can work." After listening to Chairman Mao's words, Chen Yi relaxed his heart and assured the central authorities that he could do a good job in his work; subsequently, Chen Yi flew to central China, and the central authorities also issued a telegram on the assignment of work responsibilities, and the matter was finally concluded.
After several years of struggle, driving out the Japanese invaders and resisting the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, when the tide of liberation swept the whole country, Chiang Kai-shek still held shanghai, the last fortress, most of the Kuomintang troops retreated from all over the country to Shanghai, 300,000 defenders led by Tang Enbo, and the Americans will come to the rescue soon after.
In 1955, when the title was awarded, Comrade Chen Yi was awarded the rank of marshal, and since then he has also served in China's diplomatic work for a long time, and he also creatively created a new situation in Sino-Japanese diplomacy with Go, which also laid the foundation for the subsequent relaxation of Sino-Japanese peace and the establishment of diplomatic relations.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman Mao and Marshal Chen Yi
Comrade Chen Yi has been struggling to build a new China, in 1971, he was diagnosed with bowel cancer, but at this time it was already a little late, after the doctor's full treatment, it was not able to save Comrade Chen Yi's life, on January 6, 1972, the 71-year-old Comrade Chen Yi passed away, Chairman Mao also went to his memorial service to bid farewell to this great proletarian revolutionary.
