The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is a very painful memory for the vast number of Chinese people, because during the 11-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China sacrificed tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in exchange for victory in the war. Today we are also going to talk about a great heroic figure who fought against the Japanese aggressors, this person's name is Liu Fangwu, and today we will talk about his story: he graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, retired from the army and lived in seclusion in the United States.
Liu Fangwu was born at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and in the era of his birth, China was in a state of turmoil, so Liu Fangwu was accustomed to how miserable the lives of Chinese people in chaotic times were. He was determined to join the army and serve the country, so at the age of 27, Liu Fangwu was admitted to the famous Whampoa Military Academy in history, and it should be known that those who came out of the Whampoa Military Academy were all high-level military talents.
Due to his superior command ability, Liu Fangwu was sent to the Far East battlefield and was ordered to lead troops against the Japanese invaders in burma. Once the Japanese attacked Ren'anQiang in Burma, when a total of 7,000 British soldiers were surrounded by Japanese regiments, the situation was very critical, seeing that the British allies were about to be eaten by the Japanese army, just at this imminent time, Liu Fangwu, who was fighting outside, saw that the Allies were in danger of being annexed, so he led his Chinese soldiers to help the British get out of this dangerous situation.
If you win a battle abroad, your fame will be greater. Liu Fangwu was not only looked up to by the British, but also spread his prestige back to China, causing the shock of the Chinese people, and everyone was proud of having such a brave and good Chinese general. However, this aroused the jealousy of the narrow-minded people of the Kuomintang, so after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Fangwu returned to China and was ostracized by many people.
Liu Fangwu has always been proud, how can he suffer from such a nest? After thinking about it again, he decided to leave the Kuomintang and live in seclusion in the United States to live an ordinary life.
After 38 years of living in anonymity, the world might not have known that this great hero had settled abroad if it were not for Thatcher's sudden visit. At that time, Margaret Thatcher praised Liu Fangwu many times: witty, brave and profoundly righteous, and China should feel honored to have such a general.
Since being visited by Margaret Thatcher, Liu Fangwu has been surrounded by more and more interviewers and more and more honor labels, but in the face of these Liu Fangwu is not complacent, on the contrary, he is very indifferent: as a soldier, he should fulfill his responsibility to rescue allies, and it is also his duty to be ordered to fight the Japanese army outside.
Now that more than half a century has passed since the war, the hero of that year is no longer there, but his great spirit has influenced generations of Chinese soldiers: a real soldier should be like Liu Fangwu, open-minded and not blinded by fame and fortune.
