For soldiers, the battlefield is undoubtedly the best destination, where they can charge forward, kill the enemy and serve the country, and realize their ideals. It is just that the smoke of war will eventually recede one day, and these soldiers will also return to a peaceful life.
However, in peacetime, their lives are also full of dangers, and many people have been imprisoned for taking detours. In particular, the occurrence of the 913 incident has made a large number of generals from former heroes to prisoners of the order, which makes people sigh endlessly. Guan Guanglie, who we are going to talk about today, is one of them.
Speaking of which, Guan Guanglie was lucky in his early years, he was born in 1926 and was a native of Northeast China. When he was in high school, just as the army advanced into the northeast, Guan Guanglie signed up to participate, thus becoming a soldier in the People's Liberation Army. After that, Guan Guanglie followed the troops around to fight, and later Siye went south, and he also came to work in South China.
When he was awarded the rank in 1955, Guan Guanglie served as an organizational officer in the Guangzhou Military Region, and his qualifications were shallow and his position was low, so naturally he could not talk about conferring military ranks. However, in 1959, Guan Guanglie's life ushered in a turning point. At that time, Lin Zong selected secretaries from various places, Guan Guanglie was a warrior from Siye, he was young and powerful, and had a certain level of education, and soon stood out and was successfully selected.
At this time, Lin Zong was in a high position of power, red and purple, and Guan Guanglie, as his office secretary, could also be said to have a promising future, during which he was mainly responsible for the drafting of documents, which was highly appreciated by Lin Zong. In 1965, Guan Guanglie ended his secretarial career and went down to the army, successively serving as deputy political commissar and political commissar of the 127th Division.
It is worth mentioning that this unit has a long history, the predecessor is the famous "Ye Ting Independent Regiment", and later participated in many major battles, and it is found in the liberation of Hainan Island. In addition, the division commander at that time was Zhang Wannian, who had achieved great success later.
Compared with the division commander, Guan Guanglie, the political commissar, did not progress slowly at first, and in 1971, the organization prepared to appoint him as the director of the military political department, and even the letter of appointment was printed. It's just that life is like a drama, and at this critical moment, an accident happened.
1971 was a very extraordinary year, when Guan Guanglie, a division-level cadre, was still serving in Luoyang, and was suddenly called to Beijing two days before the 9/13 incident. There, Guan Guanglie saw Lin Liguo, and when he met, he asked Guan Guanglie to mobilize the flames, but did not say anything, only said that it was the order of the chief. Guan Guanglie felt that the matter was important, bluntly stated that he had no right to move, and then went back.
After the September 13 incident, many generals were examined, and although Guan Guanglie was no longer Lin Zong's secretary, he was still dealt with because of the above incident, first dismissed from his post, and then imprisoned. It wasn't until 1981 that Kwan entered the courtroom, where he was eventually sentenced to ten years in prison, which was freed that year because the sentence was calculated from the time he was detained in 1971.
Although he was spared the disaster of imprisonment, Guan Guanglie's future was also ruined, and he was still a promising young talent, but now he was reduced to selling paintings for a living. Fortunately, the organization paid more attention to these people who had made meritorious contributions in history, and later Guan Guanglie settled in Luoyang, and the organization gave him a few hundred yuan of living expenses every month, and his life gradually improved. Guan Guanglie later lived a long life, at the age of 82.
