We have always been in awe of the heroes who emerged during the revolutionary period, and today's happy life is all bought by these heroes who have thrown their heads and spilled their blood. Today we are also talking about a very famous revolutionary hero who made great contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in our country and went all out to participate in national construction after the liberation of the country, and this person is General Xu Shiyou.
General Xu Shiyou participated in countless battles in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression throughout his life and made great contributions to the founding of the motherland. Later, General Xu Shiyou was awarded the general with outstanding achievements and was appointed commander of the Nanjing Military Region. During the Cultural Revolution, General Xu Shiyou was not spared from this storm, but he won the trust of the country with integrity, and fortunately, he did not suffer too many setbacks.
During the war, Xu Shiyou often said: "Don't be cremated after he dies, but buried with his mother." "He lost his father at an early age, has always relied on his mother for a living, and after decades in the army, he has been loyal to the country and has not had time to take care of his mother, and he often feels very remorseful.
In 1952, when he was the commander of the Shandong Military Region, he once took a leave of absence to go back to his hometown to visit his mother, and when he saw his mother, he could not get up on his knees, and everyone tried to persuade him to help him up. In 1959, he passed by his hometown again and burst into tears when he saw his 74-year-old mother still burning firewood to feed the pigs. When his mother was critically ill, he did not have time to send the old man on his last journey due to his busy official duties, which was the regret of his life. At that time, he swore that after death, he would guard his mother's grave.
On October 22, 1985, General Xu Shiyou died of ineffective treatment, but the doctor had declared him dead, but his heart suddenly reacted again, and then the heart beat for a while. Everyone was so taken aback that they couldn't explain it with science.
When General Xu Shiyou was buried, the weather was clear but suddenly it rained heavily, and it rained as soon as it fell, and there was no sign at all. The older generation said that this may be God's weeping for the death of General Xu Shiyou, which is a very heavy sadness for everyone. Although these two events have never been reasonably explained, and have only been circulated in this way, General Xu Shiyou's contributions deserve praise and praise, and his revolutionary spirit is even more worthy of inheritance.
