In the history of China, there has never been a shortage of chivalrous people who have prayed for the people and dedicated themselves to the country, looking back at the history of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years, each era has its outstanding representative figures who are using their methods to help the country and help the people.
And China has experienced ups and downs and developed into what it is now, and behind it is indispensable that the soldiers of our motherland will fight for the country. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was also the time of the country's peril, and many benevolent people who fought for the country emerged.
General Xiong Zhaoren is one of them, and after many wars and battles in his life, in his later years he was still running for the great cause of the reunification of the motherland and maintaining the peace that belonged to them for the Chinese people.
After he retired, he focused on the lives of local people. We are happy that the general, who dedicated his life to the country, died at the age of 107, and the general also had the opportunity to spend his old age in the peaceful country he laid.
Throw yourself into the war and serve the motherland
General Xiong Zhaoren was born into an ordinary family in Yongding, Fujian Province, but even though his family was poor, his parents were very open. And from the geographical point of view, Fujian is located in the southern region of China, the geographical position is superior, the traffic is also relatively convenient and therefore attracted a lot of business contacts, people here are relatively open-minded, easy to accept foreign new things.
Growing up in such an environment, Xiong Zhaoren's thoughts are also the same as this open city, which can tolerate foreign things and new things.
Moreover, growing up here, he has seen more of the world than others, and his methods and visions in dealing with things are farther than others, so Xiong Zhaoren has his own opinions at a very young age.
When he was 16 years old, he firmly believed in his idea of joining the army, wanting to serve the motherland, not wanting to be a general Soldier is not a good soldier, even if he is young, but the competition in the army is very fierce, and the training in the army is also very strict, but Xiong Zhaoren never wants to back down.
After joining the army, he actively and conscientiously completed every task, and because of his excellent performance, he became a glorious Red Army soldier in only one year.
But he was not proud, continued to carry forward his revolutionary spirit of hard work and simplicity, hard-working and hard-working, humbly asked others when he encountered things he did not understand, and treated each task very meticulously, and his actions were also seen by his superiors, very satisfied with him, and then he was assigned important tasks many times.
Therefore, Xiong Zhaoren also took these opportunities to work hard to improve himself, he participated in the agrarian revolutionary War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, and he already had rich combat experience after hundreds of battles.
Meritorious service and awarded military ranks
And because of the high success rate of the battles he commanded during the war, he commanded properly and performed heroically on the battlefield, Xiong Zhaoren's position also rose all the way.
As a veteran soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles and has strong ability, his ability has also been recognized by the Party Central Committee. This veteran soldier ushered in the dawn of our country, and the new China was finally founded after countless tribulations, freed from the control of capitalism, had the opportunity to rebuild its homeland, and the people began a new life.
However, the newly founded new China is in a state of ruin, the trauma caused by the war is still displayed in the motherland, and our country urgently needs to develop itself, change the status quo, and rebuild a new homeland in the fires of war. Those fighters who once defended the fatherland with machine guns and artillery now continue to repair our country with their revolutionary strength.
Xiong Zhaoren is also like this, and the focus of his work has shifted to the construction of the country. Under the instructions of the Party Central Committee, the 37-year-old Xiong Zhaoren returned to his hometown of Fujian as the commander of the provincial military district, responsible for maintaining stability and development in the Fujian region.
Returning to his hometown, he faced this land of his own growth and focused his energy on the development of this land. The lives of the people in Fujian have developed rapidly, and the people are very grateful to this general.
In 1955, the central government wanted to honor those revolutionary fighters who had made outstanding contributions to the development of the country, xiong Zhaoren was one of them, and he was awarded the rank of major general, which was also deserved.
Retire at home and care for the people
The old general, who was low-key by nature, did not like to show off his honors, and in his view, the mission of a revolutionary soldier was to serve the people and contribute to the development of the country.
After retirement, he still can't sit idle and wants to do something for the people. While contacting his former comrades to understand the latest situation of these partners, he also wanted to see the situation on their side.
At the request of him and his comrades-in-arms, the state provided many facilities for local development. He helped build the Cotton Beach Hydropower Station, which facilitated people's lives and promoted the local economic development.
In addition to these facilities, he also focuses on the country's infrastructure services. At the age of 90, he also went to the first line, where the local people know the Meikan Railway and the Ganlong Railway were built with his help, and these two days of railways also solved the troubles of local people to a large extent.
The people were quite surprised and moved by this series of developments, but also with the old general's feelings are getting deeper and deeper, and his practices have also lifted the local people out of poverty to a certain extent, people call him the general of poverty alleviation, and the old general also has the opportunity to enjoy the life he has worked hard in his later years.
Just like this old general, the meaning of life is not in the length but in the value it plays, maybe we ordinary people can't make such a great achievement, but in fact, doing what we should do in our own jobs is not wasting this period of time.
brief summary:
Looking back at the life of General Xiong Zhaoren, no matter what kind of predicament he was in, he never gave up, and it was precisely because he forged ahead in the midst of difficulties that we exchanged for today's peaceful and stable happy life.
And what reason do we, who enjoy this era, waste the present good time? Establishing the revolutionary spirit of our ancestors and understanding their heroic history is also what we young people should do.
