At the meeting, Premier Zhou Enlai read out the list of ministers of various departments of New China, and no one expected that Fu Zuoyi, who attended the meeting, would cover his face and weep bitterly, and the meeting had to be temporarily stopped. What the hell is going on here?
Patriotic general Fu Zuoyi
Fu Zuoyi is a native of Shanxi and was born in 1895. When he was young, he had the intention of saving the country from the army and studied very hard. In 1910, Fu Zuoyi entered the Taiyuan Army Primary School and participated in the Xinhai Revolution in October of the same year, being one of the first people to participate in the revolution. Influenced by his participation in the revolution, after graduation, Fu Zuoyi joined the local Jin army.
Because of his outstanding ability, Fu Zuoyi was soon reused and became a second lieutenant. In the ensuing military career, Fu Zuoyi continued to accumulate experience and experience, becoming a lieutenant general in 1927, and then participating in many battles large and small. In the process, Fu Zuoyi's prestige continued to increase, and he also became an important general of the Kuomintang.
In 1928, Fu Zuoyi led his troops to attack Zhuozhou at night, and the Feng army was caught off guard. Later, he led his troops deep into the hinterland of the Feng army to launch a fatal blow, thus occupying Zhuozhou.
However, due to the frenzied counterattack of the Feng army, the Jin army could only retreat, leaving only Zhuozhou under siege. Undaunted by the danger, Fu Zuoyi led his troops to hold Zhuozhou for more than three months, and finally forced the Feng army to have to make peace with the Jin army.
Fu Zuoyi became one of the strongest generals in the Kuomintang army because of the battle of Zhuozhou. Before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Fu Zuoyi saw Chiang Kai-shek's appeasement policy, had a premonition that a crisis was coming, and made preparations for war in advance. Soon the Japanese army attacked, and Fu Zuoyi, as the chairman of the Suiyuan Provincial Government, led troops to fight with the Japanese army, repelling the Japanese army and making a strong momentum.
Subsequently, due to Chiang Kai-shek's policy of non-resistance, the Kuomintang army did not dare to confront the Japanese army. Fu Zuoyi ignored Chiang Kai-shek's orders and led his troops to continue to resist the Japanese army. His actions were supported and supported by the Communists, and he had good communication with the Communists in the process of resisting the Japanese army, and also accumulated a deep friendship.
In 1937, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Fu Zuoyi exchanged intelligence with each other and cooperated in combat to fight against the Japanese invaders. In the process, Fu Zuoyi learned about the communist ideology and system, and he found that the concept of the Communist Party is the real service for the country and the people, which coincides with what he wants to pursue.
Peaceful liberation of Peiping
In 1949, the Kuomintang reactionary forces led by Chiang Kai-shek collapsed and were on the verge of exhaustion. Fu Zuoyi saw all this in his eyes, and his heart was full of entanglements. He himself was a general of the Kuomintang, but he knew that there was no people in the heart of the Kuomintang, which was contrary to his own long-cherished wishes.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek's obstinate behavior made Fu Zuoyi completely lose hope, so he made up his mind to cooperate with the Communists and peacefully resolve the Peiping issue.
When he made this decision, Fu Zuoyi would bear the insult of betraying the Kuomintang, but he had already made up his mind, he knew the Communist Party, and he knew that only the Communist Party could truly save China.
With the joint efforts of Fu Zuoyi and the Communist Party, Peiping ushered in a peaceful liberation, and his determination avoided a large-scale bloody conflict and protected the people of Peiping and Beiping. The people greeted liberation with joy, but Fu Zuoyi was still palpitating, because his decision made it impossible for him to return to the Kuomintang.
In February 1949, the People's Liberation Army entered Beiping, which triggered a violent social repercussion, and the people flocked to the streets to welcome the arrival of the People's Liberation Army. When Fu Zuoyi saw such a scene, all the anxiety in his heart finally let go, and at this moment he was very aware that the choice he had made was correct.
But what followed was something that Fu Zuoyi had never thought of. Handing over Peiping to the People's Liberation Army meant that Fu Zuoyi had become a defeated general. What will be done in the future is not clear to him. He just felt that such a choice would make the people happy and that it would be worth it.
Served as Minister
In 1949, the first National Political Consultative Conference was held, and Fu Zuoyi was also invited to attend the meeting. Many important leaders of the Communist Party attended the meeting, and many former generals of the Nationalist army and people from all walks of life also attended the meeting. The list to be read out at this meeting will be a list of important posts appointed in New China.
Fu Zuoyi has always blamed himself for being a former general in the Nationalist Army, and he has always had the psychology of atonement, because he knows that he is one of the list of war criminals of the Xinhua News Agency. When he heard premier Zhou appoint him minister of water resources in the People's Republic of China, he couldn't believe his ears.
This body of steel, which has experienced countless battles, could not help but cry bitterly, and this tear was a tear of remorse, a tear of redemption, and even more a tear of joy. Because Fu Zuoyi could not control his emotions, Premier Zhou could only pause the meeting to comfort him.
Fu Zuoyi cried and spoke in his heart, he felt that Premier Zhou's proposal to make him minister of water resources, the presidium could be unanimously approved, it was really unexpected, he felt that a sinner like him could actually go unpunished and be given a heavy responsibility, and the greatness of the Communist Party and Chairman Mao really made him not know how to express it.
Bow down
After Fu Zuoyi took office, his work was meticulous, and for the sake of the water conservancy construction of New China, he ran through various water conservancy projects for many years, wading through mountains and rivers, and walking through a large area of Land in China. With his efforts, the water conservancy industry in New China has developed rapidly, and the floods that once plagued the people have also been cured, and his credit is second to none.
Fu Zuoyi never imagined that as a former general of the Nationalist Army, he could also participate in the construction of socialism in New China. The trust given to him by the Communist Party and the people is the best encouragement and recognition for him. It is precisely because of this that he will run around the job without hesitation, which is the greatest happiness for him.
brief summary:
As a patriotic general, Fu Zuoyi made outstanding contributions to the country and the nation during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he disregarded Chiang Kai-shek's orders and brazenly resisted the Japanese Kou and played out the dignity of chinese soldiers. During the Liberation War, he deeply understood the great righteousness, promoted the peaceful liberation of Peiping, and protected The people of Beiping, which was another great achievement.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became Minister of Water Resources. In order not to disappoint the expectations of the party and the people, he slept and forgot to eat, always insisted on working the front line, controlling floods, building water conservancy projects, and bowing to the development of new China's water conservancy cause. His efforts and efforts have been unanimously approved by the party and the people.
Fu Zuoyi has a deep understanding of the great righteousness, can judge the overall situation by judging the hour and size up the situation, and even more keeps the people of the country in mind.
