On the stage of the 2016 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, among the sketches of a general and soldier, the final design appeared a white-haired grandfather, yes, he is Zhang Yuhua, the founding hero of our country.
Zhang Yuhua is a native of Weihai, Shandong Province, and participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. In the very beginning, he joined the peasant rebel army, which was an anti-Japanese armed force organized in the civilian society, and soon, with his own efforts and dedication, Zhang Yuhua soon became a cadre in the army.
During his time as a cadre, he suffered many injuries. Every charge, he is the first to rush up, he uses his body to block bullets for others, many people do not understand, he said: to be a political cadre, you must learn to take responsibility, establish prestige, and the key to establishing prestige is to rush faster and farther than others. Even if you sacrifice, you must rush to the front yourself, and you must have a stronger revolutionary enthusiasm than anyone else, so that others will believe you.
In the later Liberation War, the Korean War, Zhang Yuhua's performance has always been very prominent, at the same time, his rank is also rising again and again, and in the end, all the way to the position of major general, which he himself bought with his own blood.
After leaving, he has not been idle, but like those young people, he has the same motivation, in other ways has been contributing to the motherland, he has sought donations across the country, to send this money to the hands of people who need it more, he has been working hard, at the age of 70, traveled all over the country, for many poor children to do what he can.
He also donated most of his own salary, leaving only a small part of his living expenses for himself, in addition to which he also ran many schools, taught lessons to children, and helped them build values.
At the 2015 military parade, we also saw him on TV, he looked at the camera, like a child, full of pride and pride, he trembled and raised his hand, saluted a very spiritual military salute, which is a tribute to the people of the whole country. And the most important thing we should do is to pay the highest respect to these veteran generals.
