At the time of the survival of the Chinese nation, many heroic sons and daughters sacrificed their lives for it, threw their heads and spilled their blood for the sake of the country and the nation, and eventually grew into revolutionary heroes in the fires of war. Xiao Ke is one of them, he is the head of china's founding generals, in his life he has partnered with five founding marshals, it can be said that his life is very exciting.
Shaw's boyhood
Shaw was born in a scholarly family, which provided him with sufficient material security for his access to advanced ideas. When Xiao Ke was born, the Qing Dynasty was already in decline, social turmoil, and the lives of the people at the bottom had been in darkness, and Xiao Ke also spent his childhood during this period.
Due to family reasons, Shaw was exposed to education from an early age and began to study. By chance, he read Dr. Sun Yat-sen's "Biography of Song Jiaoren" and "Psychological Construction" and other books, and became deeply interested in the Three People's Principles.
Subsequently, in order to follow Dr. Sun Yat-sen, he came to Guangdong and joined the Whampoa Military Academy.
A passion is only for the sake of loyalty to the country, Xiao Ke's dream in this life is to revitalize the Chinese nation. Because in his early years, social unrest made him accustomed to life and death, which was a spiritual blow to a child who was still in his adolescence.
The original intention of the Three People's Principles is incomparably beautiful, which is also an important reason why Xiao Ke chose the Three People's Principles and joined it, and Xiao Ke admired Dr. Sun Yat-sen even more.
But one bad news made him doubt his faith for the first time, and he resolutely chose to join the Chinese Communist Party.
For work, partner marshal
In 1927, at the age of 20, Xiao Ke was assigned to Ye Ting's 71st Regiment as an instructor.
In the same year, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup d'état and began to massacre the Communists on a large scale.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Ke was shaken by his faith, is this still the Three People's Principles he wants?
Therefore, under the inspiration of the Communist Party of China, Xiao Ke joined the Communist Party, became a glorious Communist Party member, and participated in the Nanchang Uprising, firing the first shot of armed struggle.
Subsequently, he followed the long march with the troops, shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and finally, created the Xiang'echuanqian base area. However, these experiences are not the most legendary of Shawk, and Even more legendary is that he once partnered with 5 founding marshals.
The first marshal was General He Long.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the two were the chief and deputy division commanders, working together and leading the troops. Until 1942, Xiao Ke was reappointed deputy commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, and the commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region at that time was Nie Rongzhen.
During the war, in order to win the victory, Xiao Ke cooperated closely with the two marshals, and finally won the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to repeat the mistakes of the past, betray the revolution again, and eliminate the Communist Party.
But at this time, the Communist Party already had experience and capital in armed struggle, and the war of liberation was about to break out. In 1948, the War of Liberation came to the final stage, and the Kuomintang troops led by Chiang Kai-shek had gradually withered away, and the unification of China was just around the corner.
At this time, the country no longer needs a general, but an excellent teacher who can cultivate talents.
Therefore, Xiao Ke left the battlefield and came to Ye Jianying to assist him in building the North China Military and Political University and provide more outstanding military and political talents for our country.
In 1949, the War of Liberation won a comprehensive victory and new China was founded. Xiao Ke came to the Ministry of National Defense to take up a post, where he worked with Liu Shuai and Mr. Peng day and night, and the cooperation was very tacit.
Xiao Ke also became the first general in China to work with all five marshals, and there were only 10 founding marshals.
The first general, he won the prize in his later years
In 1955, in recognition of his lifelong dedication to the revolution, China opened its first ceremony. Among them, there are 10 founding marshals, 10 generals and 55 generals.
Among the 55 generals, Xiao Ke ranked first, which shows that in the hearts of everyone, Xiao Ke's status is still very high.
After receiving the rank of general, Xiao Ke was not proud of this, and his life was still the same every day as usual, training troops, reading books, and writing.
Although he suffered a lot in the difficult days of the next ten years, Xiao Ke still enjoyed the pain.
Later, in Shaw's own account, he said:
"Leaving the army was a very sad thing for him, but working on the farm made me vomit blood get better."
In this way, Xiao Ke worked on the farm for 12 years, until 1972, when he was transferred back to the central government and became a deputy state leader.
In the official position, Xiao Ke has reached the peak, and what he wants to pursue is no longer material, but spiritual pursuit.
In 1991, Xiao Ke's "Luo Xiaojun" created during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was renamed "Blood Luo Xiao" and won the Mao Dun Literature Award, when he was already 84 years old, which was very admirable.
