Once upon a time, we lived through very miserable years. The red sun in the East is rampant, and our land is almost lost. There was gunfire everywhere, death and bloodshed everywhere. But we still stood firm, and defended the dignity and sovereignty of the country with will and flesh and blood against the invasion of the enemy.
In that struggle, there were many heroes who threw their heads and spilled their blood, not only showing the temperament of Chinese soldiers, but also creating their own glory, including General Sun Liren.
According to records, Sun Liren was one of the few generals who took the Chinese army abroad to fight, and he killed 33,000 Japanese troops that year, becoming the most annihilated among the middle-level generals. He also received the titles of Eastern Rommel and God of War.
He was such a legendary figure, but his life was extremely bumpy, and he was also under house arrest for 33 years. So what's going on here?
1. The God of War
General Sun Liren was born in 1900 and was a native of Lujiang, Anhui. He was a rare intellectual among the Generals of the Kuomintang, and he not only graduated from Tsinghua University, but also subsequently graduated from the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, with excellent combat literacy and theoretical knowledge.
When the War of Resistance broke out,
He participated in two operations into Burma. When he entered Burma for the first time, he served as the commander of the 38th Division, and in the first battle, he fought the military prestige of the expeditionary force, and in the Battle of Mengguan Jiebu Mountain Pass, he once annihilated more than 2,000 enemy troops. Then he moved to the Menggong River Valley, and in this battle, he destroyed more than 12,000 Japanese troops, which can be described as a Chinese of might.
After that, he participated in the second operation into Burma, this time fighting more brilliantly, he served as the commander of the new First Army, and moved to various places, before and after
More than 33,000 Japanese were killed.
At that time, the British generals admired him very much and called him
Jungle Fox,
Westerners think he is
Rommel of the East
, and will
God of War
The title was given to him.
And even after the war, General Sun Liren made a great contribution
He has been committed to the modernization of the Nationalist Army, once reorganized the Nationalist Army in Taiwan, and also established a perfect military service system and a reserve officer system.
Therefore, objectively speaking, General Sun Liren has made good contributions both in wartime and in peacetime, and is worthy of his title of military god.
However, it is a pity that after a lifetime of fighting horses, he always cannot escape suspicion, and he eventually fell into pain.
Second, life is bumpy
Anyone who has read Chiang Kai-shek's diary should know that Chiang Kai-shek was a very suspicious person, and that he was particularly good at the art of scheming. Therefore, during those special years, Chiang Kai-shek's suspicions exploded to the extreme, and he once arrested more than 100 officers and men for no reason, and even listened to rumors that Sun Liren would launch a coup d'état through the military parade.
That's it
General Sun Liren was inexplicably charged, and in 1955, General Sun Liren was imprisoned and stripped of all his duties. What is even more unacceptable is that all the merits made by General Sun Liren before have been erased from history.
As a former military god, he suddenly became an ordinary person with nothing, and even carried an unexplainable crime, which was very painful for General Sun during that time, and many people around him left him.
However, it is worth mentioning that his wife has always accompanied him, and the two have watched each other in the wind and rain. General Sun also once sighed: If you have a wife like this, your husband will ask for it again. There were many ups and downs in the years that followed, but the two of them held hands and faced them hand in hand, and General Sun was finally able to face these accusations with a calm mind.
But soon the problem came again, although the couple's feelings were very good, but the couple had no offspring. The impact of this matter is very bad, after all, Xiao xiao has three queens, and his wife is also very worried every day.
Therefore, with the strong encouragement of his wife, General Sun Liren was forced to marry a concubine to continue the incense.
Although he had a concubine, General Sun still loved his wife incomparably, and the family of three continued to live that difficult and warm time.
It seems that it is the favor of heaven, General Sun Liren actually gave birth to 4 children in a row, which really made the family happy.
And with the passage of time, the merits of General Sun Liren were slowly mentioned by people, and the slander that had once been made eventually disappeared with the wind. General Sun Liren's crimes were washed away, all the previous sins were false, and the old general could finally become a man again.
However, too much time has passed
33 years have passed, and the old general has become a white-haired old man.
Looking back on the glory of the past, it seems that only the warmth of the family remains in the end, and the family can finally face the world again. This encounter is also emotional, and it is really a bit painful.
Third, powerful sons and daughters
Although the old general's life was lost in these 33 years of house arrest, he did not give up the belief in life, because he still had this family, and he had better children.
According to records, General Sun Liren gave birth to a total of 4 children, and these children were very good.
The eldest daughter was born in 1952 and was named
Sun Zhongping
He is a graduate of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Tsinghua University in Taiwan and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in the United States.
Eldest son
Sun Anping
, born in 1954. He also received a degree from the Department of Physics at Chung-Sen Kung University of Technology in Taiwan, and also became a master's degree in physics from Tsinghua Institute of Physics.
Second son
Sun Tianping
, born in 1956. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Engineering from the Department of Mathematics at Fu Jen University, Villanova University, and an MBA from the College of William and Mary.
Second female name
Sun Taiping
, born in 1958. She also received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Tsinghua University in Hsinchu and Duke University, and she also received her postdoctoral studies from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Judging from the above contents, General Sun Liren is actually quite blessed, in the first half of his life he conquered the world and was loyal to the country, and in the second half of his life, although his time was wasted, he was slandered and sunk.
But there are still 4 very good descendants, everyone is a scientist, everyone has a high degree, he can also be regarded as a consolation.
Therefore, in general, General Sun Liren's life did not have too many regrets, and his life was full of glory, and it was also a consolation. In addition, his descendants are also very hardworking, the future is worth looking forward to, this military god is really able to win the name of the posthumous.
epilogue
In general, however, General Sun Liren was the elite of his time, and although he was a soldier of the Kuomintang, he made great contributions to saving the country and resisting Japan. Moreover, his education is very high, he is a rare Confucian general, and he is also recognized by foreign friends in military training.
Moreover, he has left a lot of scars on his body, all of which are traces of the charge on the battlefield, which also bear witness to his bravery. Therefore, this is a legendary general, a general worthy of our admiration, his achievements at that time can definitely be ranked at the forefront, we should remember his history, pay him a military salute.
But then again, in addition to our admiration for General Sun Liren, we also need to know more about the history of the past. Modern our life is so stable and beautiful, we must not only learn to enjoy, but also to trace the source, to find the traces of the ancestors, how all this beauty came from.
In your spare time, you can go to the museum to admire the traces of your predecessors, or you can read some historical documents to see the sacrifices we made during the anti-Japanese era. Every time in that heavy environment and in those sad past events, it will bring us a sense of heaviness, let us understand the hardships of the years, and know the preciousness of peace. Only in this way can we live a more down-to-earth life, rather than sinking in the midst of complaining and vanity every day. Life is very big, the years are also very long, we should understand the history, carry the weight forward, and create a better future, so that our descendants can live better.
