Recently, Xiaobian saw a story on the Internet, which is about the founding general Liu Yalou, which is about what happened when General Liu Rong returned to his hometown to visit his relatives.
For this founding general, I believe that many friends with certain life experience will not be strangers. Liu Yalou, born in Fujian in April 1910, devoted himself to the revolutionary cause at the age of 19.
Later, with his outstanding ability, he made great achievements in many major wars and gradually became the mainstay of our army. In 1955, General Liu Yalou was awarded the rank of "General" at the age of 45.
After General Liu Yalou became famous, he was even more famous in his hometown, after all, General Liu was born in poverty, and his hometown was also a very barren place, and it was really the glory of the whole village to produce a founding general in the local area.
Since General Liu devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, his work was very busy and extremely dangerous, so General Liu almost never returned home. After the victory of the revolution, new China was founded, and he was in a high position, and his work was even busier. One day, he received a letter from his own brother, and after years of homesickness, he was ignited by this family letter, so he decided to take some time to go home and see.
The general wanted to return to his hometown, and the villagers soon got the news, and before General Liu Yalou had even stepped into the village, the whole village spontaneously came out to greet him, and General Liu Yalou was also very happy to greet everyone.
However, at this moment, a woman with a shawl and a tattered body suddenly appeared from the crowd, and she cried out in a hoarse voice, hoping that General Liu Yalou would make the decision for her, and General Liu Yalou was also surprised, and let the guards go to find out, and when the guards ran back and said that there was nothing wrong, just a crazy woman.
But General Liu Yalou thought that this was not so simple, and when his brother wrote to him, he mentioned a woman in the letter, as if the "crazy woman" in front of him was the woman mentioned in the letter. The husband of this "crazy woman" is named Zhang Dixin, and it is precisely because of this incident that General Liu Yalou specially arranged to "return to his hometown", so why would General Liu Yalou be so concerned about this matter? It turned out that this Zhang Dixin had been the early leader of the Red Army, but unfortunately was killed by the enemy in 1931.
The "crazy woman" in front of him was no one else, it was the spouse of the revolutionary martyr, and General Liu Yalou was directly angry at that time, and it was very sad to see the current situation of the woman.
Immediately questioned the responsible person of the relevant local department, and angrily rebuked how you can treat the widow of the revolutionary martyr in this way, so General Liu Yalou did not even drink the saliva and went directly to the local leaders, ordering them to give Zhang Dixin a new certificate of martyrdom, and at the same time required that the widow of the martyr be treated according to the treatment of the family of the revolutionary martyr.
In addition to resolving this matter, General Liu Yalou also came for the widow of another person, whose name was Liu Wengui, and in the early years, General Liu Yalou devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, and it was with this Liu Wengui that he participated.
After that, the two have been together, but unfortunately, in a battle, Liu Wengui unfortunately died. When General Liu Yalou saw Liu Wengui's wife, he felt very guilty and did not know how to tell her about it.
However, Liu Wengui's wife is also a reasonable person, sad and sad, but she knows that the revolution is to die, sacrifice for the revolutionary cause, sacrifice the small self, complete the big self.
General Liu Yalou went to the local civil affairs bureau for the sake of these families, asking them to give pensions to the families of the martyrs, and also put down the words that if someone dared to withhold their living money, he would certainly not let them go.
General Liu Yalou was very concerned about the families of those who had sacrificed their comrades-in-arms. According to General Liu Yalou' recollection, when he joined the revolution, a total of 26 people came out of his village.
Now he is the only one still alive, the other comrades-in-arms have all sacrificed, all for the revolutionary cause, the families of the martyrs have not received the compensation they deserve, the basic life is very difficult, General Liu Yalou looked in the eyes, the pain in the heart.
General Liu Yalou was a decent man and was not a bully, but in this matter, he was also praised for using his rights for the sake of the families of those martyrs who sacrificed them.
Speaking of this, it is worth mentioning that General Liu Yalou's own houses are very dilapidated, and the leaders of the relevant departments proposed that they want to build a new house for them, but General Liu Yalou said that the country is in the development period and needs money, and those money are all for the construction of the country. This is the noble quality of the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation.
