The process of China's rise is extremely sad, during which many heroes have emerged to fight for the country. They used their flesh and blood to awaken the indomitable spirit of all Chinese sons and daughters, and finally used their lives to let the world see that China was rising.
These heroes use their ordinary bodies to do extraordinary things. They are great, but the reality is very cruel, in the face of life, old age, illness and death, perhaps no one can do anything. And there has been such a person in our country, who died of illness at the age of 55, and the funeral standard is comparable to that of a state funeral.
A funeral comparable to a state funeral
Lai Chuanzhu is one of the founding generals of our country, he is humble and low-key, and he is a good general who loves the country and the people. Before the 1955 ceremony, Lai Chuanzhu had already been designated as the founding general of our country. But interestingly, in the context of everyone wanting to be promoted, Lai Chuanzhu chose to take the initiative to demote the rank.
Lai Chuanzhu had applied to the chairman several times, but the chairman refused. On the one hand, Lai Chuanzhu's comrades-in-arms were all awarded the rank of general, but giving Lai Chuanzhu a lieutenant general did not look very good. On the other hand, Lai Chuanzhu, as a general who took the initiative to demote his rank, gave full play to the party's excellent qualities, so he did not approve the application for demotion.
In 1955, Lai Chuanzhu awarded him the rank of general. Subsequently, Lai Chuanzhu successively went to Beijing and Shenyang in the northeast to serve as the political commissar of the military region. Perhaps it was the envy of talent, the 55-year-old Lai Chuanzhu could have made more contributions to the country, but a disaster suddenly struck.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lai Chuanzhu was seriously injured and had many root causes of illness. During his tenure as political commissar of the military region, he often worked late. During a routine meeting, Lai Chuanzhu was halfway through speaking on stage when he suddenly fainted, frightening everyone present.
Some people who reacted quickly rushed Lai Chuanzhu to the local hospital. However, because the illness came too quickly and suddenly, or it was a step too late, the doctor could not save Lai Chuanzhu's life. Subsequently, the news of Lai Chuanzhu's death reached Beijing, and in order to commemorate Lai Chuanzhu's exploits, Lai Chuanzhu's ashes were buried in Babaoshan.
In the process of transporting the ashes, the central government sent four aircraft to escort them. After the ashes fell to the ground, two marshals, three generals, and fifteen admirals came to greet the spirits, and the scene was very spectacular. So what outstanding contributions has Lai Chuanzhu made to get such a heavy funeral specification?
During the trough of the revolution, join the revolution
In fact, Lai Chuanzhu's participation in the revolution and his contribution to the country was already foreshadowed at a very young age. Because of his family's solid wealth, Lai Chuanzhu entered the new-style school at a very young age to learn advanced ideas, and at that time, the Northern Expedition had already achieved a stage victory, and Jiangxi was also successfully restored.
At this time, our party needed to publicize the revolution in Jiangxi and let more people participate in the revolutionary movement, so the central authorities sent Chen Zanxian to open a training center for cadres of peasant associations in Jiangxi. After hearing this news, Lai Chuanzhu quickly joined the ranks of the trainees and became the first batch of trainees in the training center.
Here, Lai Chuanzhu learned a lot of experience, and under the baptism of new ideas, Lai Chuanzhu returned to his hometown to carry out the peasant movement. In 1927, the national revolution entered a trough, and even Lai Chuanzhu's teacher, Chen Zanxian, was killed for political problems. However, Lai Chuanzhu did not fear this in the slightest, and resolutely joined the ranks of the revolution in the trough of the revolution.
Subsequently, Lai Chuanzhu launched an armed uprising, but the results were sad. Although his family has been helping him continuously, and the armed uprising has ushered in an initial victory, the enemy still reacted quickly and quickly suppressed it, and in the end, the armed uprising failed.
If you fail, you can only flee, but if you escape, the monk can't run away from the temple. Lai Chuanzhu's family was all sacrificed under the suppression, and the Lai family was tragically destroyed, and none of them survived. It can be said that Lai Chuanzhu sacrificed not only his youth and sweat, but also the lives of his relatives for the revolution. In addition to making sacrifices for the country, Lai Chuanzhu played an important role in the Long March and the War of Resistance Against Japan.
The soul of the New Fourth Army
There is no doubt that Lai Chuanzhu is the core figure of the army. If it is said that the iron battalion is a flowing soldier, then Lai Chuanzhu can be said to have never been replaced from the establishment of the New Fourth Army to the reorganization. It can even be said that the New Fourth Army has been changing personnel in a timely manner, as long as Lai Chuanzhu is not moved, then the daily affairs of the New Fourth Army do not need to be too concerned, and Lai Chuanzhu can handle it very well.
In addition to this, Lai Chuanzhu, as the chief of staff, is also very good at fighting wars. He smashed the sweep of the Japanese army many times and made great contributions to the victory of the final War of Resistance Against Japan.
epilogue
Lai Chuanzhu's family was well-off, but for the sake of the revolution, he chose to give up his family. In the army, Lai Chuanzhu is a humble person, he can mingle with the low-level officers and soldiers, and take the initiative to ask for demotion when awarding titles. Lai Chuanzhu can be said to be a model for Communist Party members and a model for future generations. He deserved to be treated like this at the funeral.
