During the Republic of China period, there was an enlightened squire in Ganxian County, Jiangxi, and the young master of his family did not worry about eating or wearing, but with the support of his father, he joined the Red Army. In retaliation, the Kuomintang reactionaries and the bully gentry plundered the property of the gentry's family and exterminated them. More than 20 years later, the son of the squire became a general and vowed to get rid of the bully and the inferior gentry.
In 1928, Lai Jiafang, an enlightened township squire in Ganxian County, heard that his son was about to launch an armed peasant rebellion. He spent a lot of money and bought long guns to support his son's revolutionary cause. Lai Jiafang's son, named Lai Chuanzhu, joined the party at the age of 17 and was an excellent commander of the Red Army.
In January 1928, Lai Chuanzhu organized thousands of peasant Red Guards to launch a peasant armed rebellion in Ganzhou, igniting the flames of revolution in the Ganzhou area. Lai Chuanzhu commanded his troops to win successive battles and defeated the invading Kuomintang army many times, which was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Kuomintang army. When the Kuomintang reactionaries could not catch Lai Chuanzhu, they began to take revenge on the Lai family, and the wealth accumulated by the Lai family was plundered, and the Lai family and his wife were arrested and imprisoned.
In prison, reactionaries and bullies and squires severely tortured Lai Jiafang and his wife in retaliation. Lai Jiafang, who was less than 40 years old, had white hair overnight, but still did not give up, and was eventually shot and killed by the enemy. Lai Chuanzhu's mother was tortured in every way, unyielding, thrown in heavy rain by a cruel enemy, drenched in rain for three days and three nights, and sacrificed heroically.
The Kuomintang reactionaries committed countless crimes, and almost the entire Lai family was slaughtered and killed, and the lai family's ancestral graves were all cut off. The murderous reactionaries vainly wanted to "cut the grass and remove the roots" and did everything they could to do despicable and shameless means, and Lai Chuanzhu was deeply saddened when he heard the bad news of his family's death.
He could only endure grief, devote all his energies to the revolutionary cause, and vow to get rid of all the bullies and gentry and the Kuomintang reactionaries in the whole world, and let the toiling masses turn themselves into masters. During the Red Army period, Lai Chuanzhu successively served as a party representative of the Red 4th Army Company, the head of the Red 33rd Regiment, the political commissar of the Red 37th Division, and other important positions.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lai Chuanzhu successively served as chief of staff of the New Fourth Army and other positions, fighting bloody battles for the peril of the nation. During the Liberation War, Lai Chuanzhu served as the commander of the 6th Column of the Northeast Field Army and the political commissar of the 43rd Army of the 4th Field Army, from the white mountains and black waters of the motherland to the ends of the earth. In 1949, Lai Chuanzhu led his troops across the Yangtze River and liberated the provinces of Jiangnan.
A group of bullies and gentry who had originally endangered the Lai family were arrested by the People's Liberation Army, accepted the public trial of the masses, and were punished justly. When the villagers heard that General Lai Chuanzhu had led his troops back to their hometown, they rushed to tell each other and lamented that there was hope for the days to come. Later, Lai Chuanzhu returned to his hometown in a busy way to pay tribute to his parents, and he knelt in front of the tomb and wept, holding his head and crying.
For the parents who sacrificed, this famous general was full of guilt in his heart, silently mourned in front of the tomb, and stood for a long time. In the Lai family, although Lai Jiafang is a family of people, he is considerate of the people and often helps the township to build roads and bridges. In the face of disasters and famines in the township, Lai Jiafang would also open a porridge shed to give porridge and rice to the victims of the disaster, and he was a great benevolent and enlightened person in the township.
It is precisely because of such a good father that Although Lai Chuanzhu is a rich young master, he has been concerned about the world's major events since he was young. During his studies, he accepted the influence of revolutionary ideas and embarked on the revolutionary journey without hesitation, vowing to save the country and save the people. In the process of "the great husband holding the sword to save the world", the parents were martyred one after another, which plunged the famous general into endless grief.
The world says, "For the head of the general, loyalty and filial piety are both complete." "Poor General Lai Chuanzhu has done his best for the country, but he cannot fulfill his filial piety at the knees of his parents, and one of the great tragedies of life is also." After the founding of New China, Lai Chuanzhu was awarded the rank of founding general, and although he held a high position of authority, he still adhered to the arduous and simple revolutionary tradition.
He was strict with himself and simple to the extreme. Sometimes he was very generous, and when the staff and comrades encountered difficulties, they could always get the help of General Lai Chuanzhu. Lai Chuanzhu always thought of the masses of the people and the villagers in his hometown, and he confiscated all his family property, built a home for the elderly, purchased a water pump to fight drought, donated money and materials for the people of his hometown, and won the love of the people of his hometown.
The admired founding father of the country, but because of the recurrence of old wounds left by decades of hard work, his physical condition is getting worse and worse. In December 1965, a bad news came back to Ganzhou, and the beloved Admiral Lai Chuanzhu died of illness in Shenyang, and the villagers in Ganzhou shed tears to remember Lai Chuanzhu, the founder of the republic who was dedicated to the country.
