The founding lieutenant general's son was killed, the general said a word, and no one dared to move the body
As we all know, after the chairman's son died in Korea, the chairman instructed: "Bury the remains of Kishi-young on Korean soil like thousands of volunteer martyrs, and do not hold special funerals for him." ”
As a result, to this day, Kishi's remains are still buried in the North Korean Volunteer Martyrs' Cemetery.
In fact, in addition to the chairman, there are many people who also have such ideas, such as tang Tianji, the founding lieutenant general who wants to talk about today.
Tang Tianji has 4 children, of which the eldest son, Tang Shuangjin, is the most prominent, and also the most important in Tang Tianji, starting from ordinary soldiers, becoming a staff officer of the Headquarters of the Kunming Military Region, and the future is unlimited. Unfortunately, in 1975, Tang Shuangjin was killed by the enemy army during a mission, at the age of 26.
At that time, Tang Tianji was already 71 years old, and the white-haired people sent black-haired people, which was an unforgettable pain, but Tang Tianji said very calmly: "There will always be sacrifices in the dry revolution, other people's children can sacrifice, and my children can't be special." ”
Some people proposed that Tang Shuangjin's body be brought back and buried alone, but Tang Tianji resolutely opposed it, saying: "He was unfortunately sacrificed in the mission of performing the country, there is nothing to say, it should be placed like other sacrificed soldiers, and it cannot be special." ”
In this way, no one dared to touch Tang Shuangjin's body anymore, but only buried him in the martyrs' cemetery of the Fourteenth Army in Yunnan, accompanied by his comrades-in-arms, without any special care.
Tang Tianji loves the children, but he is most afraid that they will grow pride as the children of high-ranking cadres. Therefore, Tang Tianji often held family meetings at home, asking the children to take a notebook each, write down their shortcomings, and self-criticize what they did wrong.
Tang Tianji often said to his children: "Don't think that your father is a big cadre, there will be endless advantages, you must rely on yourself in everything, if you want to go through the back door from me, don't think about it!" Whoever dares to open this mouth, I will expel this family! ”
When the child was in elementary school, because it was far from home, he had to take the bus, and sometimes he didn't catch the bus and had to walk back by himself.
Once, it was raining heavily, the bus was crowded with people, and the children couldn't get on, what to do? Many of the other children were sent back by their parents, and to be honest, Tang Tianji's level was the highest among all the fathers, but until it was almost dark, the children did not see their father's car to pick them up.
There was no way, a few children had to brave the heavy rain to go back, and when they finally got home, it was very late, and everyone became a chicken in the soup. The youngest daughter, Tang Shuanghe, could not walk, so she was carried by her brother on her back, and when she arrived at home, she was too tired to stand.
However, Tang Tianji looked at them and said with great satisfaction: "You are right to come back, this is the descendant of the revolutionaries, even if you call me, I will not send a car to pick you up." ”
Tang Tianji not only did not take advantage of the country himself, but often took his own money upside down.
Once, when a Vietnamese military delegation visited China, it was received by Tang Tianji and accompanied vietnamese comrades to Manchuria for an inspection. At that time, the country was in a difficult period, and Tang Tianji did not want the country to spend money, so he took out his salary of 300 yuan and asked the secretary to buy fruits and cigarettes to entertain Vietnamese comrades.

After the secretary bought it back, he asked the store for an invoice, saying that it was a business matter and that he could go to the accountant for reimbursement. But Tang Tianji took the invoice, brushed it and tore it, and everyone was stunned.
300 yuan was not a small amount at that time, not to mention that Tang Tianji's family was not rich, and there was a family that relied on his salary to eat.
Someone advised him: "The country is difficult, but there is no shortage of your 300 yuan, your family is not more difficult than the country?" ”
Tang Tianji said: "Your account is wrong, the country and the country, there is a country before there is a home, without the new China, where is our small family?" Everyone relieves the country a little burden, and the country's life will be much better. ”
On February 20, 1989, General Tang Tianji passed away at the age of 85.
Before his death, General Tang wrote down the following passage: "Life is alive, relying on the growth of predecessors to raise adults, to create a better world, to seek happiness for mankind." If you do not continue to be like your predecessors, but only try to enjoy, not only is it useless to the world, but it is also harmful to the world, neither is it human, nor is the beast as good as it is. The communist outlook on life, that is, the world outlook of creating a beautiful world and seeking happiness for mankind, and the struggle for this outlook on life, sacrifice is also noble. ”
