As introduced in the history inn before, Lin Yueqin, the wife of Marshal Luo Ronghuan, had a marriage in the early years, and her husband was the founding lieutenant general Wu Xian'en, but later Wu Xian'en was scattered during the Western Expedition, and was mistakenly rumored to have been sacrificed, and Lin Yueqin had to marry Luo Ronghuan again.
Today, let's introduce the story of General Wu Xian'en, which is also very respectable.
Born in Xinxian County, Henan Province in 1907, Wu Xian'en has been working in the logistics field because of his serious work and heavy old age, successively serving as the director of the Quartermaster Department of the General Manager Department of the Red Fourth Front, the director of the Supply Department of the Red Ninth Army, and the director of the Supply Department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.
General Wu Xian'en has been engaged in logistical work all his life, and he has handled countless belongings, but he has long said: "When I work by my side, my hands and feet must be cleaned, don't think about the moon first near the water tower, who dares to stretch out his hand randomly, I will be the first to twist him to go to justice!" ”
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, every time the troops distributed household goods, Wu Xian'en first sent them to others, often in the end only the worst, left for his own family, so the furniture at home is very broken, others go to his home, even the stool does not dare to sit, afraid to sit for him.
Someone advised him that he could "borrow" some furniture from the unit and return it the next time he sent it, but Wu Xianen said solemnly: "Of course, it is okay to borrow and have it, but do you think I can afford it?" If I don't pay it back, then everyone below will follow suit, and will we still work for the people? ”
In the early 1960s, many people could not eat, wu Xian'en was the logistics director of the Beijing Military Region, in charge of the allocation of materials for the entire military region, and had great power, but the first thing Wu Xianen did was to call his children over and say: "I have a lot of money in my hands, but none of this money is surnamed Wu, so I have set two rules for you, first, no one should want to take advantage of the public family; second, many people in the country are hungry, and we are no exception." ”
Wu Xianen's daughter was puffy because of long-term malnutrition, and Wu Xianen was very distressed, but he did not make any expression. Some people say that he is too rigid, as long as he gets a little bit, it will be enough for the children to eat, but Wu Xian'en said solemnly: "If you want me to do that kind of thing, don't think about it!" Even if the children starve to death, I will not get them a little public food! ”
In fact, Wu Xian'en still gave his child a "special" one, which made his son Wu Tiebi remember very deeply.
It was in 1962, when the national defense situation was relatively tense, and Wu Tiebi expressed his willingness to go to the Fujian front. Because of Wu Xian'en's status, some people think that this is just to let Wu Tiebi go to the army to be gilded, and come back later to arrange a good job. But Wu Xian'en smiled and said, "I have this power in my hands, why can't I use it for my son?" ”
Wu Xian'en greeted the leaders of the front line and said: "This batch of recruits has passed, I don't care about others, where is the hardest, let Wu Tiebi go where to become a soldier!" ”
In this batch of recruits, only Wu Tiebi received "special care" and was assigned to the "Tiger Regiment" at the forefront. Wu Tiebi is also a young man with lofty ideals, and after joining the "Tiger Regiment," he competed everywhere, ate all the hardships he could eat, and was an advanced representative every year.
After Wu Tiebi retired, many people thought that Wu Xian'en would definitely arrange a good job for him, but Wu Xian'en only said one sentence: "You are now an adult, you have to rely on yourself for everything, how much ability you have to do, no matter what position is to serve the people, don't pick fat and thin, and don't think about me arranging work for you!" ”
On November 1, 1987, General Wu Xian'en died of illness at the age of 80.
Before dying, Wu Xian'en said to his family: "I have not left you any inheritance, all I can give to the party, it is the party that brought me out of the sea of suffering, after I die, do not hold a memorial service, do not want to send anything goodbye, save money and there are still many important things to do." ”
