The Chinese revolution of the 20th century, even in the context of the world's history, was a massive movement. In this revolution, many heroic deeds have emerged that can be sung and wept. The hero we want to introduce today, who made a revolution in his youth, who was promoted quickly, who died early on the battlefield, can be said that although his life was short, he gave the strongest voice of a revolutionary. He is Chen Haisong, the general of the Red Army, and today I invite you to follow this writer and approach the short and legendary life of this Red Army hero.
In 1914, Chen Haisong was born in a peasant family in Hubei Province. Because the conditions in the family were not good, and the mother's body was very weak, so shortly after Chen Haisong was born, her mother died. Chen Haisong has lacked the love of his mother since he was a child, fortunately, there is an aunt in the elders who played the role of Chen Haisong's mother in childhood, which made his childhood more warm. When he was young, Chen Haisong was very naughty, and he played with his peers all day long, although his father tried to provide him with private school to go to school, but he only recognized a few words there and went home, with no intention of further study.
In Chen Haisong's view, he may have to be a farmer in his hometown for a lifetime. However, the times offered him an opportunity. We know that the countryside of modern China is very poor, and the peasants' lives are very hard, and the important reason for this tragic situation is that the black hands holding the whip of the overlord are the landlords in the countryside. We have heard many stories of landlords exploiting peasants, and the landlords in Chen Xuesong's hometown are no exception. Although Chen Xuesong worked as a farmer at home, he was often unaccustomed to the landlords in his hometown bullying others and exploiting his fellow villagers, and secretly planted a revolutionary seed in his heart. At this time the Red Army troops arrived at his hometown, and the seeds of revolution in his heart began to sprout.
When the Red Army troops arrived in Chen Haisong's hometown, he germinated the idea of joining the army to make a revolution, which upset Chen Haisong's aunt. Chen Haisong is the only male in the family, and the family is still waiting for him to pass on the lineage, so the aunt has already found a daughter-in-law for Chen Haisong. But Chen Haisong told his aunt that he went out to make a revolution so that millions of poor people could live a good life. The aunt was impressed by Chen Haisong's revolutionary spirit and finally agreed to his idea. In this way, Chen Haisong joined the Red Army and became a glorious revolutionary fighter.
As soon as Chen Haisong joined the army, he was assigned to serve as a service soldier under Xu Shiyou, who was the regimental commander at the time. Speaking of Xu Shiyou, it is another legend. Xu Shiyou once studied martial arts at the Shaolin Temple, and later returned to his hometown to join the revolution and became a general in the Red Army. Xu Shiyou found that Chen Haisong, a service soldier, was a little different, he was cultured and could recognize a few words. Xu Shiyou, out of the purpose of loving talents, recommended Chen Haisong to his superiors and put him in charge of the propaganda work of the troops. Chen Haisong did not live up to Xu Shiyou's expectations, worked diligently in his work, and joined the party during his work, becoming a glorious party member.
Later, Because Chen Haisong did a good job in propaganda work, he was very brave in battle and made many meritorious contributions. Organizationally, Chen Haisong began to be gradually promoted. When he was the regimental political commissar, Chen Haisong had been subjected to certain unfair treatment, but he was not discouraged, but used unfair treatment as a weapon to temper himself. In the end, the organization lifted the misunderstanding of him, and Chen Haisong's position became higher and higher. When Chen Haisong was the political commissar of the division, he was already on an equal footing with his former superior, Xu Shiyou; later Chen Haisong was promoted to military political commissar, which became Xu Shiyou's superior, and it had only been 4 years since Chen Haisong had become Xu Shiyou's service soldier. Xu Shiyou did not have any bad feelings about this, and he was sincerely happy for the progress of this comrade-in-arms and happy that the troops could have such an excellent talent.
Unfortunately, Chen Haisong later died in the command of the battle and fell before the founding of New China. If Chen Haisong can continue to live, he will certainly be able to make greater contributions to the revolution. However, Chen Haisong's heroic sacrifice in Russia also fulfilled his vow when he left his hometown, that is, to make a revolution for the common people under the heavens and to be able to live a good life. Later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Shiyou repeatedly mentioned his old comrade-in-arms, hoping that the comrades in the army would be able to learn from Chen Haisong's revolutionary spirit and inherit Chen Haisong's legacy. The organization has not forgotten Chen Haisong, and his relatives in his hometown have enjoyed treatment according to relevant policies.
In the magnificent revolutionary history of modern times, countless heroic figures have emerged, and Chen Haisong is an excellent representative of these heroes. Party organizations and comrades discovered his strengths, and he used his life to fulfill the oath of a revolutionary. Chen Haisong's name is like a star in the sky, always shining on us who pursue ideals and keep moving forward.
