History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
The founding of New China was bought by countless revolutionary martyrs with their youth and blood. They are all the backbone of the nation and the pride of the people, and they fought to the death against the enemy in order to defend the country, and it is precisely because of the efforts and blood of those martyrs that we have the peace and prosperity we have today. At the time of the country's peril during the war years, these revolutionary heroes bore patriotic feelings and adhered to their convictions for decades as a day, and it was precisely because of their efforts and sacrifices that the founding of New China and our present beautiful and happy life were born.
After the founding of New China, many of these pillars of the country, in addition to the revolutionary martyrs who had already sacrificed, were rewarded by the state. It was precisely because they were not afraid of hardships that the charge was in front of them in exchange for the current situation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these revolutionary heroes who have endured hardships have basically received due respect and kindness, and some of them have even become founding generals, which can be described as bittersweet and gratifying!
The protagonist we want to talk about today, Huang Yongsheng, is also a founding general with outstanding military achievements. He also received the corresponding treatment given by the organization, once an official to the founding general, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as the senior chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army, and after being sentenced to 18 years in prison in his later years, what was the outcome after he was released from prison? Huang Yongsheng, the old general, died of illness at the age of 73, and his last wish was fulfilled on the day of his death! The last wish of the general who had lived in his life was to be able to wear another military uniform at the time of burial.
Huang Yongsheng, as the four kings of the "913" incident, can be said to be well known, and I believe that people who understand history are well aware of his deeds. Whether in the period of the agrarian revolution, the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the later period of the War of Liberation, the veteran general who made great achievements in battle all his life ran through China's modern history, and he led the army and the people to fight heroically as revolutionary cadres and made indelible and tremendous contributions to the establishment of new China, which is admirable!
It is a pity that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, as a founding general, the future was bright, in 1955, Huang Yongsheng became the first commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, and later under the promotion of the old leader Lin Shuai, he was promoted to chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army. Huang Yongsheng's life also took a sharp turn for the worse, and then he was revoked so honored and treated, and finally sentenced to 13 years in prison by the Supreme People's Court, and the ending was lamentable! After a few years in prison, the old general of the organization was old, plus he was a revolutionary hero, after all, he had made great contributions to the founding of New China, and after a few months, he was released on medical parole and placed in Qingdao.
In the time of living in Qingdao, the organization has a monthly living allowance of 100 yuan, as well as regular physical examinations, there is no requirement for the dietary general, coarse tea and light rice can be, but he likes to eat loach, eel, and buy some relief every once in a while. The test said that the life of the old general in his later years was still good.
In 1983, Huang Yongsheng was found to have liver cancer, although the doctors of the hospital did their best, helpless medical conditions are limited, the old general's condition gradually deteriorated, on April 26, the old general died of illness, before his death, the general said a wish in his heart, that is, he hoped that in this life he could pass on the military uniform again, and after the death of the general, he wore a Type 55 military uniform. Later, the general's ashes were brought back to his hometown in Xianning and buried in the courtyard of the 131 Project, which is worth mentioning that the 131 Project was also an engineering project presided over by the general before his death.
epilogue
The veteran general was born and died for the country and the people all his life, and he was also a great hero of the revolution, although he was a bit wrong in his later years. But right and wrong have passed, he also threw his head on the battlefield in order to build a new China, spilled his blood, life is impermanent, and there is no fault, and we cannot deny the efforts and achievements he made in the first half of his life. In the end, the old general also completed his long-cherished wish in life, which is gratifying!
