For children who are now 12 or 13 years old, although they have certain academic tasks on their shoulders, they can occasionally lie in the arms of their parents and sell cuteness. In the eyes of their parents, they are still a child who has not grown up.
But in China 100 years ago, many children of this age had already shouldered the burden of the entire family, even carried a gun, and became a member of the revolutionary ranks.
After joining the Red Army, they were affectionately known as the "Little Red Devils" and became the youngest beings in the revolutionary ranks.
Therefore, in 1955, some of the more than a thousand founding generals who were awarded the rank of general were very young faces. Among them was a founding general named You Taizhong, who also joined the revolutionary ranks in his teens, who was awarded the rank of major general at that time and was awarded the rank of general in 1988.
And today we will talk about this "little red devil" general and his family!
How are the children of Admiral You Taizhong? The son is a lieutenant general, the son-in-law is very cattle, and the family is at the level of the state.
The 13-year-old "Little Red Devil", who grew up in war
You Taizhong was born in China in 1918, and his family was poor, so he started farming for his family early.
Cattle herding was one of You Taizhong's daily jobs, and at that time, seeing that children of the same age could go to school, You Taizhong was very envious. Therefore, every time he would put the cattle on the empty grass in front of the private school in the village, and while herding the cattle, he would listen to the reading of the private school.
It was by listening to such daily lectures that gradually, You Taizhong was able to recite some simple poems and songs.
In 1931, at the age of 13, You Taizhong learned of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and after obtaining the consent of his parents, he gave up his cattle herding job, carried a simple burden, and left home and entered the Red Army.
At that time, in the Ranks of the Red Army, a child of You Taizhong's age was still rare after all, and coupled with his small and weak stature, he was sent to be a trumpeter and do simple logistical work.
In this way, You Taizhong, who had been training in this team for two years, joined the Chinese Communist Youth League in 1933. At this time, You Taizhong grew up a lot taller, and in those two years of experience, his body also became strong and powerful, and he also accumulated some combat experience.
During the period of participating in the Agrarian Revolutionary War, You Taizhong successively served as a trumpeter, a platoon leader, a political instructor, and the secretary of the Communist Youth League.
At a young age, he already had a resume and experience in the profession that children of the same age did not have.
Although he had not read the Eight Classics, his "career" began much earlier than many people, so he was awarded the rank of major general at a young age.
In terms of long-term career planning, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Subsequently, You Taizhong participated in the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It can be said that in those wars known to posterity, Most of You Taizhong participated.
It is also these many times of combat experience, so that You Taizhong grew up rapidly, he has long been from the original "red devil" to be able to stand alone commander, in 1947, You Taizhong led Liu Deng's army into the Dabie Mountain, and then participated in major battles such as Huaihai and crossing the river.
At this time, You Taizhong had already become a division commander.
In these large and small battles, countless battles, injuries have become commonplace for You Taizhong, and several wounds on his body have left permanent scars, and those injured parts still clearly remember their origins in You Taizhong's later years.
But in any case, You Taizhong, who had been baptized by artillery fire, finally survived, which was much luckier than those revolutionary comrades who died in the war!
After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, 35-year-old You Taizhong returned to the academy and began to accept systematic learning.
The dream that was not completed as a child, after experiencing half a life of horse fighting, came true at this time!
For You Taizhong, who is still young sitting in the classroom at this time, the feeling is completely different from when he was a child herding cattle.
Therefore, everyone's life has its own order of appearance, and there is no need to envy others.
Sons and daughters excellent family officials to the level of the state
In 1955, You Taizhong was awarded the rank of major general, and at that time, among the ranked ranks, there was one person whose life history was highly similar to his, that is, Li Desheng.
Both of them participated in huaihai, marched into the great southwest, and the war to resist the United States and aid Korea, and after returning to China, they entered the higher military academy together for further study, but Li Desheng's final achievements were higher than those of You Taizhong, and before his death, he had already reached the rank of zhengguo.
Li Desheng's son, Li Heping, was also very good, not only participated in the Chinese People's Liberation Army, but also served as a platoon leader, company commander, deputy regimental commander, and also held important positions in the famous self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.
Li Heping, who had been on the horse for half a lifetime, made great achievements in peace, but after the war, he chose to retire and began to work in other fields. In the new field, Li Heping still has outstanding performance, and now he is the secretary general of the China Patriotic Engineering Federation.
Such an excellent person, because of the similar experience of the two families, finally became You Taizhong's son-in-law, and he married You Taizhong's daughter You Jing as his wife, perhaps, this is a kind of fate.
And in my opinion, it is also a kind of door-to-door pair, and people with the same life experience and experience are combined, which is a very good thing!
In 1988, You Taizhong was awarded the rank of general, half-born in the army, half-life in politics, in addition to having a daughter You Jing, he also has a son You Haitao, born in 1958, he is currently the deputy commander of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Army, and in 2014 he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
In his spare time, You Haitao is also concerned about environmental protection. In 2010, You Haitao conducted a field trip to Nanling Jiuchong Mountain, and inquired in detail about the progress of forest restoration work and the difficulties encountered in the work after the rain, snow and ice disaster in 2008, and proposed solutions to these difficulties.
Subsequently, he also planted trees in the Ice Disaster Memorial Forest in Nanling National Forest Park.
In 1998, You Taizhong died of illness in Guangzhou, and for this "little red devil" who began to participate in the revolution at the age of 13, his life was dedicated to the country and the people.
When he was young, he fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and after the war, he held important positions and continued to fight for the political cause.
Being good yourself will also attract equally good people
You Taizhong, who came from a poor background and had never read a book, entered the ranks of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army at a young age, but at the carefree age of many children today, he resolutely took up his gun and entered the war full of gunfire.
Subsequently, You Taizhong participated in countless wars, large and small, and left scars in many places on his body, but fortunately, he saw the liberation of China and the subsequent development and construction.
And in the Heian era, he still contributed his passion. One of You Taizhong's sons and daughters was also deeply influenced by his father, and he had achieved and built a lot on his own life path.
Perhaps this is the influence and edification of a family style, and children who grow up in this environment will more or less inherit the excellent character qualities of their parents.
And such a family, if it can always maintain a good maintenance, then they will become a very strong family, this strength does not refer to the number of family members, but to the quality of each member.
brief summary
Things are clustered, people are divided into groups, what kind of people they are will attract what kind of people, if they are good enough and strong, I believe that the friends around them will not be too bad.
Therefore, people must continue to make themselves strong, only when they become better, their lives and the circles around them will become better and better, which should be the so-called law of attraction!
