introduction
During the Republic of China period, warlords fought each other, and the people survived in the cracks, displaced, and lived a miserable life. The emergence of proletarian communism has made countless workers and peasants at the bottom of society see the dawn of hope.
The spark of a spark can ignite the plains. The workers and peasants represent the interests of the broadest masses in China, and many of the disciples of the poor have been influenced by new ideas, and they have been the first to stand up and join the ranks of the proletarian revolution. The revolutionary Li Xiannian is one of the typical representatives, who used his life to interpret his love for the motherland.

Huang'an, Hubei, is located in the southern foothills of the Dabie Mountains, next to Henan Province, and was a small county seat in Huanggang City at that time. The Li family has been a farmer for generations, living a hard life with their backs to the sky facing the loess soil, and even if they encounter a bumper harvest year, they basically all hand over to the landlords, and they do not have much surplus grain. Li Xiannian's parents knew that if they wanted to change the family, they had to learn knowledge, so they exchanged the hard-earned grain for silver yuan and sent Li Xiannian to a private school.
In the war-torn environment at that time, Li Xiannian felt that as a seven-foot boy, when the country was in danger of survival, he should stand up and serve his country. Aware of the advanced nature of the proletariat, he joined the ranks of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in spite of his family's opposition.

In the autumn of 1928, not long after Li Xiannian joined the revolutionary ranks, the reactionary forces began to carry out a brutal sweep of the revolutionary base areas. After many battles, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army crushed the enemy's three encirclement and suppression campaigns. Li Xiannian's troops performed heroically in battle and were awarded glorious titles. In the next 4 years, Li Xiannian participated in the battle under his command, and the number of large and small was too large to count. In July 1932, Li Xiannian's Red Fourth Front, in order to open a passage for the follow-up troops and fight the enemy to the death, annihilated the besieged defenders, but in the course of the battle, Li Xiannian was seriously wounded for the safety of the headquarters command organ, but he still did not easily withdraw from the battlefield and fought with his subordinates. After the battle, Li Xiannian was commended by the central authorities, and took a fancy to his excellent leadership ability, and assigned him to develop a revolutionary base area in the hinterland of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Li Xiannian had become the commander of the Central Plains Military Region, commanding the troops to fight against the reactionary forces on the basis of reason. Li Xiannian did not have any illusions about the reactionary forces, and he led his troops to prepare for all situations and played a mainstay role in the Liberation War. Whether it was protecting and assisting the central leaders in going to peace negotiations, or taking the initiative to attack and annihilate the invading enemy, Li Xiannian brilliantly fulfilled the tasks entrusted to him by the party and the people.

After the peaceful liberation of the whole country, Li Xiannian returned to his hometown. At that time, the central leaders asked for his opinion, and he made it clear that he wanted to go back to his hometown to see first and do more things for the people in his hometown. Hubei, which has experienced warlord scuffles, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the War of Liberation, can be said to be in ruins to be rebuilt, and 10,000 acres of fertile land have become barren lands. Li Xiannian proceeded from reality, led the people step by step, and did everything well in a down-to-earth manner. At the end of his term of office, when he went to the central government, the whole of Hubei can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.
After taking office in the Central Committee, Li Xiannian felt even more the sense of responsibility and mission on his shoulders, and he always kept in mind the purpose of serving the people. In the turbulent political wave, the mission of serving the people is his strength to move forward, guiding him to constantly break through the issues that the broad masses of the people are most concerned about and need. Seeking truth from facts and proceeding from reality is the standard for him to behave and do things.
Li Xiannian's descendants also inherited the excellent revolutionary style, daughter Li Ziyang worked in the medical field, once served as vice president of the Chinese Association of Women Physicians; son Li Ping, only 16 years old, joined the army, and did not forget to study in the army, with his own efforts to enter the military school, and later awarded the rank of major general for outstanding contributions; the youngest daughter Li Xiaolin, graduated from graduate school, and then focused on the field of China's foreign relations.
epilogue
Whether it is the early social and economic construction, or the later anti-chaos rectification, and then the subsequent reform and opening up in a big stride forward, there is a figure of Li Xiannian. He devoted his life to the motherland for decades. Li Xiannian's children inherited his great spirit, so that future generations will remember the glorious deeds of their predecessors.
