History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
When it comes to General Xu Shiyou, people's first reaction to him is that he knows martial arts, is willing to endure hardships, and can fight. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Xu Shiyou served as the commander of the Nanjing Military Region by virtue of a series of outstanding military achievements made during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. General Xu Shiyou had a total of four daughters, and the daughters were influenced by their fathers since childhood and were full of yearning for military life, of which the eldest daughter and the third daughter joined the army. However, mentioning the process of the third daughter's joining the army makes people feel a little crying and laughing.
It turned out that Xu Huashan did not want to join the army at first, but one year he caught up with the Air Force to recruit pilots locally. A friend of Xu Huashan's who had always wanted to join the army had pulled Xu Huashan to accompany him to register for a physical examination. As we all know, the Requirements for Pilots in the Air Force are very strict, so among all the students who registered at that time, none of them showed that they passed the medical examination. Therefore, the relevant leaders responsible for recruiting pilots at that time were very dissatisfied with this. The leader stumbled upon Xu Huashan, who had accompanied his friend to sign up, and issued an invitation to join the army.
With the encouragement of his friends, Xu Huashan underwent a physical examination. Unexpectedly, after the results of the physical examination came down, it was shown that Xu Huashan's physical fitness completely exceeded the physical fitness requirements of the pilot, and this result made the leaders overjoyed and rushed to send people to lead Xu Huashan to register. Xu Huashan did not have any intention of joining the army at that time, so he hesitated when registering. When the leader saw this, he asked Xu Huashan who his family was and wanted to talk to Xu Huashan's father in person. When he learned that Xu Huachuan's father was General Xu Shiyou, the leader helplessly said to Xu Huashan: "You go back to talk to your father, I have no way to make decisions for your father, but I sincerely invite you to join our troops and become a glorious pilot." ”
After returning home, Xu Huashan told his father about the incident. After learning of this incident, General Xu Shiyou encouraged his daughter to join the army and exercise, but also made it clear that he would not provide any help to Xu Huashan. With his father's encouragement, Xu Huashan came to the army, and as his father said, in the future military life, his father did not provide him with any help. Xu Huashan recalled the scene at that time and admitted frankly that his joining the army was an accident.
