In the cartoon "That Rabbit That Year", which is based on the background of Modern and Contemporary Chinese History, there is a cute spectacled rabbit. At that time, China and the Soviet Union bought weapons, and in order to get a relatively cheap friendship price, rabbits accompanied the bears to drink.
The woolly bear, known for its alcohol intake, could not drink the bespectacled rabbit, and was eventually dragged away helplessly. The story of this spectacled rabbit is based on what happened to General Lin Hu.
The glasses rabbit in the animation has a thick expression, a gentle smile on his face forever, and the "sorry ah" that has drunk the bear back to his face, which is very cute.
But in reality, Lin Hu is a lieutenant general in the Air Force, an eagle that shuttles through the blue sky and white clouds, who has served as the principal of many air force academies, and even got on the plane at the age of 70 and flew out of the "cobra" style of difficult action.
Lieutenant General Lin Hu was born in 1927, his father was from Shandong, his mother was a Russian girl his father met on the "Guandong" road, in addition to Lin Hu, there was a son and a daughter, and a family of five settled in the "black land".
When he was very young, his father froze to death on a coal truck on a trip to the Soviet Union. Soon after, the family that had lost its pillar was hit by another disaster: the mother and brother died, and the sister was taken away.
The only kid left behind was only 4 years old. Fortunately, someone from the Shandong family led him away and gave him a name called "Lin Gensheng".
The happy life did not begin from this, but the adoptive mother of his adoptive family abused him everywhere, lacking clothes and food and doing all kinds of work. Xiao Nesheng couldn't bear it and finally ran away from home at the age of 9.
After two years of living outside, Xiao Gen grew up to the age of 11, and thought that his life would be mixed up like this, but in this year he met his own "nobleman".
In 1938, Li Yaowen, who had just been the director of the political department of the "Shandong People's Anti-Japanese And National Salvation Third Army" for less than a year, met a little boy while he was out.
Although Xiao Gensheng had been malnourished for a long time, because of his mixed blood, he was taller and stronger than other Shandong children. Li Yaowen saw the potential of this child at a glance and immediately went forward to talk to him.
When I got closer, I found that the child's eyebrows were a bit foreigner-like, and his skin was particularly white. Li Yaowen was stunned at first.
After explaining his intentions, Xiao Gensheng asked him in Shandong dialect mixed with Northeastern dialect: "Can you eat enough?" ”
Li Yaowen was amused: "Of course you can!" ”
So in this way, Xiao Gensheng was "picked up" by Li Yaowen and returned to the Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and while becoming a service soldier and getting a new military uniform, he also had a new name "Lin Hu".
Since getting the new name, Xiaolin Hu really regarded himself as a tiger, following the Eighth Route Army to stay in the anti-Japanese base area in the Yimeng Mountains in southern Shandong for 7 years.
In the past 7 years, I have gone up and down the mountain to fight devils and finished fighting devils to learn culture. By the time of Japan's defeat in 1945, the 11-year-old Xiao Nesheng had also grown into an 18-year-old Lin Hu, a small coolie carrying sandbags on the docks, and became a positive young Communist Party member.
It was also in this year that Lin Hu crossed the Bohai Bay with a large army and re-embarked on the "black land" that had been separated for more than ten years.
Although the memory before the age of 4 has been blurred, the tragic feeling of the death of a loved one and the destruction of his family is still deeply rooted in his bone marrow, and as soon as he steps on here, it seems that he has become the child who was unrelated and unprovoked.
Looking at the tall but sad Lin Hu, the comrades-in-arms gave hugs one after another: We can't replace your relatives, but we will be your family in the future.
At that time, Japan had just been defeated, which was a good time for the whole world to celebrate, but the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sensed the movements of the Nationalist government and began to preserve its strength for the civil war that it had to face in the future.
This force across the bay is one of the strengths that will be preserved.
Some of this group were sent to military theory and some specialized in military industry, while Lin Hu and nine other fighters were selected as the first air force pilots of the Eighth Route Army and went to the Northeast Aviation School for flight training.
In 1949, Lin Hu graduated from the Northeast Aviation School, and the first task he received after graduation was to rush to Beiping to participate in the military parade of the founding ceremony.
From the Korean Peninsula to the Sino-Vietnamese border, from the deputy commander of the air force to the principal of the aviation school
Although he participated in the military parade, Lin Hu, a straight-forward Shandong Hanzi, always felt that as a soldier, his first task was to go to the battlefield; others were happy for the limelight, only he, sullen and unhappy, felt that he had not done enough.
The opportunity soon came, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in 1950 began.
Lin Hu was already a deputy regimental commander of a division of the Air Force at that time, and immediately asked to go to the front line after receiving the news.
But it was the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and our air force and navy could only be regarded as just beginning to prepare, and even the flights of the founding ceremony were the same batch of aircraft that flew twice.
Going straight to the battlefield? Aircraft not to mention, the pilot's 75% elimination rate, how much effort to train an air force motherland do you know?
Lin Hu was scolded to the point of bloodshed, and at the same time was sent to the aviation school as an instructor: If you want to go to the battlefield, then bring out a batch of fresh blood and go again!
A year later, Lin Hu took his students to be reviewed by superior officers, and his excellent flying skills were widely praised. However, Lin Hu just rushed to find the division commander, without a few words, but his face was full of writing, "Can I go to the battlefield?" ”
In the winter of 1951, the 25-year-old Lin Hu led a flying squad to the Korean battlefield, and as soon as he came, he shot down the advanced fighter "Sabre" of the US army, ending the days when the US army ridiculed the volunteer army for "no pilots", and at the age of 26, Lin Hu had been promoted to division commander.
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Lin Hu was transferred to the Guangzhou Military Region, where he stayed for more than ten years, during which he participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam and also trained a number of air force pilots.
Until the mid-1980s, Lin Hu was transferred to the Central Committee as deputy commander of the Air Force, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1988.
General Lin Hu, who became a lieutenant general, spent more time training pilots, but being far away from the blue sky and white clouds also made him itchy.
Finally, at the third Moscow Air Show in 1997, General Lin got his wish and challenged the young pilot at the age of 70, and a series of actions such as somersaults, rolling, ultra-low altitudes, etc. were completed successfully, and let everyone, including Soviet representatives, see their "cobra" actions.
As the only mixed-race general in our country, General Lin Hu's heart and belief are much more loyal and firm than many "pure-bloods".
He once "pit" soviet comrades on the wine table with that "Soviet face" and set out the news of the Su-27 fighter.
He also teamed up with the "Colonel of Wine" to drink 17 Soviet Air Force officers, and eventually saved the country a lot of money.
On March 3, 2018, General Lin Hu passed away, but his words to the "Colonel of Wine" that "the motherland needs your stomach" were recorded and carried forward in another form.
When you see that humble little rabbit in the future, remember the era and those people behind it.
