Promotion and salary increase has always been our dream thing, life is only a few decades, in these decades of life, we pursue very little, nothing more than honor and money.
And the two are complementary, honor can bring money, and money can also bring us honor, which is the pursuit of our ordinary people's lives.
However, in history, there has been such a person, who does not pursue fame and profit, pays attention to his conscience in everything, and does things steadily and steadily, and this person is Li Chiran, the founding major general of our country.
He was already a military commissar during the Red Army and made great contributions to our country. It is reasonable to say that after the founding of New China, such a talent must be rewarded with many honors.
However, more than ten years later, Li Chiran, who was already a military political commissar, actually became a division-level cadre, which made Luo Ronghuan, who was in charge of the awarding of titles at that time, very embarrassed.
Li Chiran, who has made great achievements in battle
Li Chiran was born in a silversmith family, his father was a forger, the whole family relied on forging silver to live, and at that time the family of craftsmen was still quite good, so Li Chiran's living environment from childhood was also relatively superior.
However, Li Chiran's father felt that although it was a good thing to have a craft, if there was a condition, he still had to study more so that he could shine on the lintel, so Li Chiran was sent to the school by his father.
Li Chiran has been very obedient and sensible since he was a child, so he has worked very hard in his studies. He was admitted to a normal school when he was a teenager. It was during this period of Li Chiran's schooling that he came into contact with many people engaged in revolutionary causes.
Under the influence of revolutionary ideas, he also stepped into his revolutionary career. When Li Chiran was 15 years old, he had already joined the Communist Party of China, and at the age of 18, he returned to his hometown of Anding, Shanxi, to serve as the secretary of the old revolutionary areas.
In the days when he became the secretary of the old district, he relied on his familiarity with his hometown and the knowledge he learned in school to do the job in an orderly manner.
At the same time, it was also the period during which he became the secretary of the old revolutionary area, which made Li Chiran even more full of motivation and hope for revolutionary work. Therefore, later, Li Chiran, relying on his enthusiasm for the revolutionary cause in his heart, constantly participated in the revolutionary struggle and made many military achievements.
He was promoted to political commissar of the army
When Li Chiran was engaged in revolutionary work, he often rushed forward without a life, but at that time, due to the very severe form, many revolutionaries suffered serious persecution, and Li Chiran was also arrested and imprisoned by the enemy because of the leak of traitors.
Of course, Li Chiran would not betray his faith in his heart, so no matter how harshly the enemy punished him, even threatening his family, he never said a single key message to the enemy, so Li Chiran was beaten and bloodied when he was arrested and arrested.
Fortunately, the higher-level party organization soon discovered Li Chiran's disappearance, and under the investigation of many parties, it was found that Li Chiran was arrested and imprisoned, so the party organization quickly organized a rescue to help Li Chiran escape from prison.
Later, under the recommendation of the organization, Li Chiran joined the army, and among the troops, Li Chiran's achievements were also very prominent. Soon, he became the political commissar of the regiment in the army.
In this way, Li Chiran went farther and farther down the road of revolution, and the more he went, the better he went. However, soon after, due to the encirclement and suppression operations of the Kuomintang, the Red Army could only begin to be forced to embark on the arduous long march.
Li Chiran, who had become the political commissar of the regiment, experienced countless wars during the Long March. In the midst of the war, he charged again and again, bleeding and wounding again and again, but he did not fear at all, but very bravely won one battle after another. So soon, Li Chiran was promoted to military political commissar.
The title was difficult for Luo Ronghuan
However, after the war passed, the army began to be readjusted, and the system of promotion began to reform. At that time, Li Chiran obeyed the organization's arrangement and entered the Red Army University to study, so his position as military political commissar was taken over by someone else. After Li Chiran came out of the Red Army school, he transformed from a military political commissar during the Red Army period to a division political commissar.
Later, during the Liberation War, Li Chiran had been working as a division political commissar, mainly responsible for the security of the rear, which also led to Li Chiran not being promoted in the future.
It was not until 1950 that he was promoted to deputy political commissar of the Fourth Army. Therefore, when the rank evaluation was carried out in 1955, Luo Ronghuan was very distressed to see such a thing.
Because Li Chiran made outstanding contributions during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and He Jinnian, a colleague who led the Red 27 Army with Li Chiran, is now the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region.
However, Li Chiran actually changed from the previous military political commissar to the current division political commissar, and the position did not rise but fell, so it is said that Li Chiran, who has distinguished military merit and seniority, should at least be awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
However, because his position during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation was relatively low, it was not until the end of the War of Liberation that he became a division-level cadre, and if he acted according to the system and rules, Li Chiran could not be awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
Therefore, Luo Ronghuan was very embarrassed at that time, and he personally went to Li Chiran to ask him if he had any opinions on the issue of military rank evaluation, but Li Chiran's words surprised Luo Ronghuan very much.
After listening to Luo Ronghuan's distress, Li Chiran told him directly that he was willing to be demoted to major general, he did not care about the level of these ranks, as long as he could continue to contribute to the country, no matter what kind of rank he was awarded, he would be able to accept it. In this way, Luo Ronghuan's distress was easily resolved, and Li Chiran was finally awarded the rank of founding major general.
epilogue
We ordinary people naturally feel that the higher the better in the face of promotion, and often many people rush to grab a position, but When Li Chiran faces these things, he is very calm in his heart, and he feels that it does not matter what rank, it does not matter whether he is high or low, as long as what he does is worthy of the country and the people, he is very satisfied.
A person like Li Chiran, who has made outstanding contributions to the country, should be vigorously rewarded, but he does not count gains and losses when discussing merits and deeds, and such excellent qualities and spirit are still worth learning from us.
