Looking back at the war-torn China decades ago, when countless Chinese sons and daughters sacrificed their precious lives for the sake of national liberation and the reunification of the motherland, in addition to the soldiers who fought in blood on the front line, there were also some heroes in special jobs, who lived in a more dangerous and unpredictable environment, needed to penetrate into the enemy's interior and lurk, this type of person is the underground workers we often see in film and television dramas.
Today, the protagonist in our article is a leader in the hidden front, he is the only super undercover with the chairman's one-line contact, perhaps everyone does not know much about his real name, but his pseudonym is very famous, this person is named Hao Keyong.
Hao Keyong was born in 1914 in Lintong, Shaanxi Province, his father was one of the earliest founders of the Northwest Army, and he served as a special forces battalion commander under Yang Hucheng.
Born in a famous family, Hao Keyong is naturally free of food and clothing, but he is not satisfied with the status quo, but focuses on learning.
In 1928, Hao Keyong's eldest brother Hao Kejun was personally sent to Shanghai by Yang Hucheng to study at university, and the following year, the 15-year-old Hao Keyong also followed his brother to Shanghai and studied at Jianguo Middle School.
Hao Kejun was a middle-class party member personally developed by Comrade Xiaoping, and during his university years, Hao Kejun was the main person in charge of the school's party organization, and it was not until the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu that Hao Kejun took his brother to join the anti-Japanese volunteer army of the 19th Army.
In 1933, Hao Keyong was admitted to Fudan University, and in 1935, he became a salt tax policeman because of his work assignment, he was fair and impartial, and the result was also a disaster, one day he privately detained the smuggling salt boat of He Jian, the chairman of Hunan Province, and suddenly offended this political tycoon, and then he was settled by the autumn, suppressed, and could only be forced to return to Xi'an.
At the beginning of 1938, Hao Keyong officially joined our party, and after joining the party, because of the special relationship between the Hao family and Yang Hucheng, the organization decided to send Hao Keyong to the 38th Army to carry out the work of the united front and the teaching team, and at that time, Hao Keyong's main task was to secretly develop party organization members in the teaching team.
Under Hao Keyong's unremitting efforts, the Communists of the 38th Army eventually expanded to more than 600 people, at that time, because the 38th Army's strict discipline and strong combat effectiveness, and the Eighth Route Army's style was extremely similar, which caused the alarm of the old Chiang, under his deployment, the 38th Army was surrounded by several regiments of Tang Enbo, in order to get out of the predicament, the commander of the 38th Army, Zhao Shoushan, sent Hao Keyong to Yan'an to ask the chairman for future work arrangements.
In July 1942, Hao Keyong arrived in Yan'an, while reporting on the work, he also proposed to the organization the request of military commander Zhao Shoushan to join the party, and after receiving the approval of the chairman, the chairman also issued an order, after which the 38 Military Work Committee was under the direct leadership of the Central Committee, Hao Keyong served as the first secretary of the Working Committee, and in the future he maintained a single-line contact with the Central Committee, directly led by the chairman, and he had to ask for instructions in advance for any problems of the 38th Army, which must be absolutely confidential.
Since then, Hao Keyong has become an agent of direct one-line contact with the chairman, and before leaving Yan'an, the chairman has given Hao Keyong a pseudonym named Fan Ming (because his uncle's surname is Fan).
In July 1944, Fan Ming mobilized the 17th Division to launch the Luoning Uprising, which was the first regular army uprising of the Kuomintang, which had a great impact on the rear, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Fan Ming planned the Hengshan Uprising, which directly weakened the military strength of the Nationalist army around the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and greatly alleviated the pressure on the central authorities.
In 1949, Hao Keyong became the secretary general of the political department of the First Field Army, and he participated in the Battles of Yan'an Ande and the Battle of Lanzhou, at which time he had been Peng Dehuai's assistant.
On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fan Ming was again appointed commander and political commissar of the troops entering Tibet, and he went to Xining, won the support of the Tenth Panchen Lama for the new government, and solved the peace problem in Tibet very well.
In August 1951, Fan Ming led his troops into Tibet, and a year later, the Tibet Military Region was established, Fan Ming served as the deputy political commissar of the First Military Region, and in 1955, at the age of 41, Fan Ming was awarded the rank of major general.
At that time, Fan Ming had submitted a report to the chairman on the restoration of his original name, but the chairman told him that this pseudonym was very famous at home and abroad, and it was very unfavorable to the work to restore it.
During the special period of turmoil, Fan Ming was dismissed from all his posts and sent to Changbai Mountain for labor reform, although he felt aggrieved, he did not decadence, but used his leisure time to study Chinese medicine.
During this period, he treated many difficult diseases and even applied his medical skills to the local animal husbandry industry until February 2010, when Fan Lao died of illness in Xi'an at the age of 96.
