For Asia, modern times are a history of humiliation and rebellion. In China, we all know that the country has been reduced from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society to gradually moving towards independence, prosperity and strength. In fact, many countries in Southeast Asia are the same, such as Vietnam, which became a colony of Vietnam, and then carried out anti-French and anti-American wars, and slowly ushered in national independence. In the process of Vietnam's independence, there were also many outstanding figures, one of whom was Wu Yuanjia.
Wu Yuanjia was born into a landlord family and was in relatively favorable conditions, which provided a rich material basis for his education. As a child, Wu Yuanjia received a colonial education in the School of the French, but in his upbringing, nationalism awakened. At the age of 14 he joined the Revolutionary Party and engaged in a student movement against the rule, which was taken seriously by the authorities.
During his university years, Wu Yuanjia entered Hanoi University, where he studied history and earned a degree. It can be said that he has grown into an intellectual-style revolutionary. On the eve of World War II, with the expansion of the country's anti-fascist trend, Vietnam also ushered in changes. France allowed the existence of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and Wu Yuanjia joined it for the first time.
After the outbreak of World War II, France was soon attacked by Germany, and the country's strength was greatly reduced. In order to consolidate their rule in Vietnam, the French colonial authorities were even more ruthless and began to hunt down opponents in Vietnam, with the Communist Party bearing the brunt. It was at this time that Wu Yuanjia's wife was killed, and he himself had to flee to the land of Yunnan gui in China to contact the local Vietnamese diaspora to continue the struggle. With the Japanese occupation of the Indochina Peninsula, Wu Yuanjia returned to the country and began to establish an anti-Japanese front. Ho Chi Minh, the leader of Vietnam at the time, appointed Wu Yuanjia as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. In this way, he completed the transformation from Xiucai to Bing and walked towards the road of a lifetime of military horses.
Wu Yuanjia had many enemies in his life, Japan, France, and the United States, each of which was occupying Vietnam's territory. Wu Yuanjia was very brave and strategic in the process of struggle, and eventually helped the country usher in independence. In Vietnam, people have a very high evaluation of it, known as the "Red Napoleon".
Throughout Wu Yuanjia's life, his life was full of waves, and he ran for the independence of the nation and the country. For example, during the Asian Games in 1990, Wu Yuanjia visited China, making an important contribution to the normalization of Sino-Vietnamese relations. Wu Yuanjia lived at the age of 102 and walked through a century, and his death was reported by the media of France and the United States, two former enemies.
When Wu Yuanjia died, he said four words to the people around him: Serve the party! He has been practicing these four words all his life, and he will never forget them until he dies, which is very admirable.
