Mr. Xu Laotri is a famous educator in China, and everyone knows that many famous figures have emerged from the students who have been taught by him, and after participating in the Long March to Yan'an, he is one of the highly respected "Five Elders of Yan'an". To be his student is undoubtedly a thing worthy of a lifetime of glory.
There is a Red Army soldier who was born in Literature and was also very fortunate to become a student of Xu Lao, and I will tell you his story today.
His name was Zeng Ruqing, born in 1914 in Luling, Jiangxi Province, to a family of rural craftsmen, and he grew up as an apprentice and child laborer, and never went to school. At the age of 15, when the revolutionary wave surged in his hometown, the teenager had a dream, left home to find his cousin who had already joined the revolution, joined the Red Army under the arrangement of his cousin, and worked in the guard class of the Jiangxi Province Soviet District Government where his cousin served.
No matter what kind of work you do, you need cultural knowledge, especially revolutionary work, and you need to study culture and theory. Therefore, the cousin took Zeng Ruqing to see Xu Teli, vice minister of education of the Central Soviet Region, and he said to Elder Xu: "We once had more than a hundred families and made sacrifices for the revolution. My cousin's family was poor, worked from an early age, and then participated in revolutionary activities, and did not have the opportunity to go to school. Elder Xu, you are a famous educator, and if this child is still able to be cultivated, it will be handed over to you. ”
After his cousin transferred Zeng Ruqing to the Ministry of Education, Elder Xu personally taught him and taught him literacy and composition. Zeng Ruqing really lived up to the hopes of his cousin and Elder Xu, studied hard, and after a year he could read the newspaper, read the documents and write articles.
Under the personal guidance of Xu Lao's hands, Zeng Ruqing grew up rapidly, successively serving as an inspector of the Ministry of Education of the Central Soviet Region, deputy director of the General Education Committee, and finally as the vice minister of education of Gannan Province.
After the main force of the Red Army went north on the Long March, Zeng Ruqing stayed in the south to persist in guerrilla warfare, serving as the secretary of the tantou district party committee and the political commissar of the guerrilla brigade, and was once arrested and imprisoned. In prison, he persisted in fighting the enemy until he was released after the war broke out in full force.
After Zeng Ruqing's release, he joined the New Fourth Army and served as the chief of the organization section of the Ministry of Democracy and democracy as the political department of the military department.
In 1939, when Zeng Ruqing was building a military station in Anhui Province, he took the trouble to reorganize an anti-Japanese guerrilla group spontaneously organized by local peasants, and with the consent of Deng Zihui, deputy director of the Political Department of the New Fourth Army, gave it the nickname of "Shazhou Guerrilla Brigade", but the Kuomintang Third Theater of Operations regarded this anti-Japanese unit as a thorn in the eye and carried out two attacks. Later, Zeng Ruqing organized a counterattack in accordance with the instructions of Tan Zhenlin, deputy commander of the three detachments.
Is this counterattack still possible? The Kuomintang Third Theater issued an arrest warrant against Zeng Ruqing on trumped-up charges and ordered the disbandment of the guerrilla brigade. And our comrade in the deputy commander also indiscriminately criticized Zeng Ruqing, accusing him of sabotaging the anti-Japanese united front and transferring him back to the military headquarters.
So, what about him later?
Later, after Mr. Chen learned of his situation, he said that we needed cadres like him. Therefore, he was transferred from the Political Department of the New Fourth Army to the Jiangnan Headquarters as the chief of the Democratic Movement Section of the Political Department.
Under the leadership of Mr. Chen, Zeng Ruqing's work is like a fish in the water. He successively served as director of the Political Office of the First Column and the First Regiment of the New Fourth Army's Northern Jiangsu Command, the commander and political commissar of the Taizhou Independent Regiment of the Third Military Subdistrict of the Central Soviet Military Region, the political commissar of the First Brigade and the First Regiment of the First Division of the New Fourth Army, the director of the Political Department of the First Brigade of the Soviet Central Military Region, and the director of the Political Department of the Fourth Column of the Soviet-Zhejiang Military Region.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the political commissar of the First Division of the First Column of the East China Field Army, the commander and political commissar of the Fifty-eighth Division of the 20th Army of the Sanye Army, and was awarded the rank of major general in 1955.
Zeng Ruqing, he went from a literary to a provincial vice minister of education and a founding general, and learning was an important factor.
