Tip: Here, it is not difficult to see that Chen Changjie, who was once called "picking up", knows more about how to be grateful, but he does not understand that life is ultimately decided by himself, and people live a lifetime, it is not successful or unsuccessful, and it is not enough to rely on gratitude alone. It is precisely for this reason that there is such a deep sigh in his life - success is also grateful, and defeat is also grateful.
Chen Changjie's life was picked up, so he had a nickname called "Pick-up".
The person who picked up Chen Changjie was his older brother and sister. Chen Changjie was born into a peasant family, and his mother was hired as a nursing mother. Human milk is not meant to be there, so it is a profession that requires many children. Because of this, Chen Changjie's brothers and sisters are numerous.
When Chen Changjie was born, her mother may be a little older and have less milk, but she does not want to lose her job, and exchanges milk for a little money to support the poor family. Therefore, he cut off Chen Changjie's milk early and threw Chen Changjie in the Ancestral Hall of the Chen Family to resign himself to fate. Chen Changjie's brothers and sisters saw it, felt that a life could not be cut off like this, and came to the ancestral hall together to take Chen Changjie home with heartache, and gave Chen Changjie the name "pick up".
Chen Changjie's young life was thus picked up and returned, no one knows how he was taken care of and lived, but he knows that his mother lost her job shortly thereafter, because Chen Changjie is the oldest child in the family, and her mother will naturally have no job as a nursing mother when she is no longer born.
Because the discarded person's mother and the person who picked it up were older brothers and sisters, the role of raising Chen Changjie was clearly changed here, so people didn't know much about Chen Changjie's parents. And this also allowed Chen Changjie to meet a great benefactor similar to his parents.
Chen Changjie was born in 1895, Zijieshan, a native of Luozhou Town, Minhou County (Dianqian Village, Luozhou Town, a suburb of Fuzhou). The brothers and sisters who picked him up soon discovered that he was very intelligent and sent him to a private school when he was more than two years old. At the age of 7, Chen Changjie entered primary school, because he entered the private school earlier and had excellent grades, he met a person named Tian Chungan. Tian Chungan was Chen Changjie's teacher, and he felt that it was not easy to meet such a student as Chen Changjie, so he not only exempted Chen Changjie from "bundle repair", but later also sponsored Chen Changjie to study at the Fuzhou Normal School, and even married his daughter to Chen Changjie.
The word "Shu Xiu" may not be very clear to some of us now, but when students and teachers first met in ancient times, they must first give gifts to show respect, which is called "Shu Xiu". This rule has been implemented as early as the time of Confucius, as a gift of the "bundle repair" was first salted pork, bacon, the number is also stipulated, "ten pieces of bacon" is Confucius's provisions of the worship ceremony, others can be charged more or less according to their own situation, people call this "bundle repair several articles", in fact, is more or less worship fees, tuition fees.
Chen Changjie was very fortunate to meet Tian Chungan, and his big name "Changjie" may have come from Tian Chungan, who hoped that he could "walk away" like a war and be an eternal winner. Chen Changjie was also very grateful, always saying that Tian Chungan was not only his mentor, but also his first great benefactor. And his experience is also largely due to gratitude, and he has obtained a "long victory".
When the Xinhai Revolution broke out in 1911, Chen Changjie joined the Fuzhou Student Army and went north. Soon after the north and south negotiated peace, the student army was disbanded, and he returned to Fuzhou to study in the Wubei Academy. After graduating in 1917, he was sent to the Seventh Cavalry Section of the Baoding Officer School to study. Since then, it has been a real throwing pen from the Rong. Like our current graduates, there is a problem of finding a job after graduation, Chen Changjie graduated from the Baoding Officer School in 1919, at the invitation of his friend Fu Zuoyi, went to Shanxi to serve as a trainee platoon leader of the Seventh Infantry Regiment of the Jin Army in Yan Xishan, and from then on he had a job and entered the career of a professional soldier, and by 1935, he was already the commander of the Seventy-second Division of the Jin Army.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Changjie's "Changjie" deserved its name. At the end of July 1937, the Japanese occupied Beiping and Tianjin successively. In order to destroy China, the invaders then expanded their aggression along the three lines of Jinpu, Pinghan, and Pingsui. From August 8 to August 26, 1937, the Battle of Nankou was fought in the area of Nankou around Juyongguan in changping at that time. After Tang Enbo's troops entered the battle, they suffered a disastrous defeat, Chen Changjie was ordered to rush to the counter-attack, and after 23 blood and flesh fights, finally recaptured the position, and then because of the cowardly battle of Liu Ruming in Chahar, Zhangjiakou fell, and the Seventy-second Division fell into enemy encirclement. At the critical juncture of life and death, Chen Changjie commanded Ruoding, unexpectedly led the division to charge in the direction of the enemy's dense concentration, and finally broke through successfully.
On August 28, 1937, the Japanese Kou captured Huailai City, overlooking the Japanese troops in the city on the Great Wall.
In this battle, the Chinese army held the Great Wall defense line, fought a bloody battle for 18 days, and gave the arrogant Japanese army invading China a head-on blow, and finally the Chinese army withdrew from the battle in a neat manner according to the military orders. Chen Changjie, who successfully broke through, also achieved the goal of "preserving strength for another battle"; after the war, the Seventy-second Division was merged with the Xindu Fourth Brigade to form the Reserve Eleventh Army, and Chen Changjie was made the commander of the army and assembled in Dai County. In September, the Japanese Sakagaki Division directly approached the Pingshi Pass, driving straight in, and the military situation was urgent. Chen Changjie was ordered to lead his army to battle in the starry night, and fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army for 12 days and nights at the mouth of Harrier Ditch and Tuanchengkou, winning a great victory and laying down the arrogance of the Japanese army.
In the Battle of Pingxingguan, Chen Changjie's army was mighty and vigorous, and his army was "correctly named" as the Sixty-first Army, and he served as the commander and deputy commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and soon became the commander-in-chief, with full authority to command the counterattack of the front-line troops. On October 2, the Sixty-first Army began a "tug-of-war" with the Japanese army, and for 23 consecutive days and nights, Lale crushed the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese Sakagaki Division's Sanyi Wing to make a desperate bet and use new weapons such as flame emitters and napalm bombs. Chen Changjie used the method of digging tunnels to sneak into front of the enemy, so that the Weapons of the Japanese Army could not exert their might. The Eighth Route Army rushed to the rear of the Japanese army in time to attack. As a result, the Japanese army was surrounded and almost completely annihilated. Subsequently, Chen Changjie took advantage of the victory to unify the army to the south, retake Xiangning and Pu County, established a command center of the second theater at the southern end of the Lüliang Mountains, and intercepted the Japanese tailing troops in the Taishan Temple Mountain, winning a complete victory, known as the general who resisted the victory.
In July 1939, Chen Changjie was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Eleventh Army, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army and director of the Fourth Branch Bureau, but in 1940, the contradictions between Yan Xishan and Chiang Kai-shek intensified, and Yan Xishan suspected that he had frequent contacts with the generals of the Kuomintang Central Army, and dismissed him from his military post. In a fit of rage, he led a guard battalion to Suiyuan to defect to Fu Zuoyi, deputy commander of the Eighth Theater.
In December 1945, on the recommendation of Fu Zuoyi, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Chen Changjie as the commander of the Tianjin garrison. At this time, Chen Changjie's life was more grateful, because it was also Fu Zuoyi's idea to turn to Yan Xishan, and now when he was the commander of the Tianjin garrison, he was also recommended by Fu Zuoyi, so he regarded Fu Zuoyi as his benefactor.
In the newly filmed "Armageddon", Chen Changjie calls Fu Zuoyi big brother, and Fu Zuoyi is like his "iron brothers". He assured the "benefactor" Fu Zuoyi: "Please rest assured commander-in-chief that with me Chen Changjie present, Tianjin will be foolproof." This was because he knew that Fu Zuoyi was the commander of the "Suppression General" in North China, that Beijing and Tianjin were both "special cities" and were directly under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Executive Yuan, and that defending Beijing and Tianjin was a major event for Fu Zuoyi.
The fact is also that after Chen Changjie arrived in Tianjin, he added more troops and generals and built fortifications, hoping to keep Tianjin for a long time in order to repay Fu For his "kindness" of righteousness. But this time, he never dreamed that he could no longer "long victory" or be victorious again, or even defeated and captured. On January 15, 1949, the Battle of Tianjin ended in victory and lasted 29 hours. He did not understand his insistence before he was captured, and in the case of losing the hearts of the people, it was actually indifferent resistance. The man who captured him alive was Xing Chunfu, the deputy platoon commander of the Northeast Field Army, and he rushed into the basement of the headquarters where he was hiding with two fighters.
Xing Chunfu said, "I surrendered to him with a gun, and the people (Chen Changjie) sat there and didn't move at all, and then one of his two military commanders came out and said that the commander said that he wanted to negotiate with your front-line commander or to revolt and ask for an uprising. Another thing was said that the People's Liberation Army had poured into his basement headquarters, and he raised his hands tremblingly and said, "Brothers, we surrender our guns, we tell the troops not to fight, surrender!" But no matter what, before that, he had called Fu Zuoyi many times, but the answer he got always said: "As long as you firmly hold on, there is a way!" "He can only obey in the soldier's retribution mentality."
Here, it is not difficult to see that Chen Changjie, who was once called "picking up", knows more about how to be grateful, but he does not understand the truth that life is ultimately decided by himself, and people live a lifetime, it is not success or failure, and it is not enough to rely on gratitude alone. It is precisely for this reason that there is such a deep sigh in his life - success is also grateful, and defeat is also grateful.
Interestingly, Chen Changjie, who entered Gongdelin, has always been grumpy about this matter, and once told people that Fu Zuoyi was negotiating peacefully in Peiping, but instead ordered me to insist on not surrendering, he became an uprising general, I became a war criminal, and I was fooled by him. When Fu Zuoyi went to See him in Gongdelin, he was full of anger and then deliberately bowed his head and did not speak, until Fu Zuoyi explained to him through the management that "at that time, there were negotiations, and there were many things that were difficult to say", and the resentment in his heart was eliminated.
On December 4, 1959, Chen Changjie became one of the first 10 war criminals to receive amnesty and was given a new life. Later, he did a lot of work on literary and historical materials, but in the early 1960s, he was affected, and on April 7, 1968, he committed suicide with his wife at home. It is said that he was whipped and rolled on the ground in pain, and his wife knelt down for forgiveness for him, but their cries were exchanged for the laughter of others. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and let his wife go first, then committed suicide.
Life can be picked up, but the experience is always your own, and it is difficult to change it when you go through it. Chen Changjie's life began in poverty and left in pain, and from his grateful mentality, he should have only one wife, Tian Chungan's daughter. It is said that he also has a son and a daughter, the son is called Chen Xieliang, and the daughter is called Chen Qiuping, but they are already "unknown status quo".
