History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at a time. In the rolling river of history, there are countless soldiers who have fought bloodily for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and their revolutionary spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, their ideals and beliefs in fatal fulfillment, and their great and outstanding combat history have all made sure that the people will not forget them, and the country will not forget them. In the 1950s, the state held a ceremony to award awards to soldiers who had made outstanding contributions, in recognition of their fearless and selfless dedication and the noble morality of bowing down after death, including a famous general, whose contribution to the Chinese nation was like a magnificent map of mountains and rivers. In 1961, he unfortunately died of a myocardial infarction, and was also the first founding general to die, buried in Babaoshan. But why was he moved out of BabaoShan 50 years later? What's the untold story here?
In February 1903, a family in Quanhu Village, Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province, welcomed a not-so-simple baby, Chen Geng , formerly known as Chen Shukang , whose family conditions were not bad compared to others, but Mencius had a cloud: "Born in peace and died of sorrow." In the face of the turbulent national situation and severe tests at that time, unlike Mr. Lu Xun who abandoned medicine and followed the text, he chose to abandon his pen and join the army. At the age of 16, he joined the Xiang Army and participated in a series of battles. Although General Chen was a writer, he never gave up reading books and newspapers, and books such as "New Youth" and "Theory of Social Evolution" were often involved, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent writings.
In 1922, he became a glorious member of the Communist Party, and with faith in Marxism and the original belief in seeking rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, he began his short but legendary life. Love to study and study at the age of 21, he entered the Whampoa Military Academy to study, excellent academic results made him after graduation to be looked at and then stay in the school, during his Eastern Crusade, he had saved Chiang Kai-shek twice regardless of his own safety, but later he chose to stand against Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek's appreciation of General Chen in his own words is "five Hu Zongnan can not be worth one Chen Geng", which shows how excellent General Chen is. Later, he participated in many major military activities, such as the Northern Expedition, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, etc., and at the time of the Nanchang Uprising, that is, when he and Chiang Kai-shek "parted ways". In the battle of the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, General Chen unfortunately suffered a gunshot wound in the leg, went to Shanghai for treatment, after the leg injury he immediately continued to work, 6 years later one day unfortunately arrested, in the face of the enemy's persecution and temptation, he preferred to die unyieldingly, resolutely not to be a traitor.
He was brave and fearless on the battlefield, and he was bold and calm, humorous and funny under the battlefield; once the chairman made a report in Yan'an, Chen Geng ran to the rostrum and picked up his water cup and drank it, wiped his mouth after drinking, saluted the military salute, and said: "It's too hot, borrow a sip of water from the chairman, now it's all right!" Everyone, including the chairman, laughed.
In life, he was straightforward and steady, he liked to make friends with intellectuals, and he appreciated the wise men and women, among which we had to mention his second wife Fu Ya, Fu Ya and Chen Geng met in the home of the regimental commander Wang Zhibo, and Fu Ya, who was also a member of the Communist Party, of course, had heard many stories of General Chen. The relationship between the two of them has also experienced some twists and turns, and the marriage that is long overdue is not easy. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Geng worked day and night and did not spare any effort. In 1961, the bad news of his death due to illness came, making everyone who knew him cry, according to the highest courtesy he was buried in the Babaoshan Cemetery, 50 years later, Fu Ya died of illness, in order to fulfill Chen Geng's wish that year, the organization agreed to his last words that he wanted to be with his wife, so 50 years after Chen Geng's death, his cemetery was moved out of Babaoshan and buried with Fu Ya.
Although the hero is no longer there, the sound is always there. Fan Zhongyan's "Worries and Worries of the World Before The World" and Wen Tianxiang's "Men's Millennium Chronicle, My Life Has No End" and other ancient poems are most appropriate to describe General Chen Geng.
