In 1955, the state held a solemn money collection ceremony when the situation was relatively stable, but for various reasons, the military rank system was abolished, and it took a long time to recover. Therefore, some people call the generals selected in the early days of the founding of the country as the founding generals. These revolutionary generals all made particularly outstanding contributions to the country during the war and were admirable national heroes.
After the founding of the country, they have won the country's reuse and recognition with merit and qualifications, but also made more historical contributions to the country, with the passage of time, these founding generals have withered away, until today, there are very few people who are still alive, let's take stock for everyone, in 2020, how many founding generals are left?
The shipboard generals awarded the rank in 1955 were Li Guang (106 years old), Zou Yan (105 years old), Zhan Danan (105 years old), and Yang Yongsong (101 years old). Born in 1914, Li Guang, a native of Yilong County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, once served as the commander of the special service battalion of the 91st Division of the Red 31st Army, the platoon commander of the 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion, 771st Regiment, 386th Brigade, 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander of the 198th Division of the 66th Army.
Born in 1915 in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, Zou Yan served as the chief of the reconnaissance section of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Provincial Security Bureau, the director of the Political Department of the Security Department of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, the political commissar of the 16th Division of Siye, and the deputy political commissar of the Shenyang Military Region. Zhan Danan, born in 1915 in Jinzhai, Anhui Province, served as a special commissioner of the 28th Army of the Red 15th Army, an organization officer of the Political Office of the 716th Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the 209th Division, and the deputy commander of the 27th Army.
Born in 1919 in Dapu County, Guangdong Province, Yang Yongsong served as an organ clerk of the Political Department of the Red 12th Army, the technical secretary of the Political Department of the 685th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the political commissar of the Chariot Division of the Fourth Field Army, and the political commissar of the engineering corps of the Beijing Military Region. From the perspective of age, these founding generals are basically more than 100 years old, they are well-deserved national treasures, and they should be recognized and respected by everyone.
In addition to these founding generals, there are many surviving veterans in our country, who have fought for the country on the battlefield, and are also the heroes of the country, hoping that they can live a long and healthy life, spend their last days happily, and do not leave any regrets. I also hope that the motherland can become stronger and not live up to the efforts of these founding generals.
