As a revolutionary fighter of the older generation, Xu Shiyou undoubtedly dedicated his life's energy to the party and the state. After the founding of New China, it not only gave him the highest military rank, but also made him hold many very important positions. Logically speaking, Xu Shiyou, who has many sons under his knees, can completely use the convenience of his position to seek some "welfare" for his sons, so that they can easily take up important posts.
But in fact, Xu Shiyou not only did not do this, but also ruthlessly sent his sons to the army to receive a sufficiently rigorous education. Of course, it is precisely because he has a relatively high level of consciousness in this regard that he will let his sons have a relatively large appearance.
The People's Daily reported that Xu Shiyou was loyal to the party, the people, marxism-Leninism, and devoted his life's energy to the cause of the proletarian revolution. He was good at studying and applying Mao Zedong Thought, accumulated rich combat experience, commanded a series of important battles and battles, organized large corps to fight, and displayed outstanding military ability.
I. Xu Shiyou's Glorious Battle History.
Xu Shiyou was born in a small village in Xinyang City, Henan Province, and his family was very poor when he was a child. In order to survive, he began working to earn money very early. Later, he went to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, because of his natural good physical fitness, coupled with his very diligent work, so it was not long before his achievements in martial arts far surpassed his brothers in martial arts.
Later, he joined the army and made countless contributions in various large and small battles, rising from a small squad leader to a military commander. After the founding of New China, Xu Shiyou was awarded the rank of general for his outstanding military achievements, and held important positions in many important military posts. It can be said that he dedicated his life to the party and the country, which is really admirable.
2. Xu Shiyou's marital situation.
Xu Shiyou has had three marriages in his life, but he is not an abusive man. His first wife married him before he joined the army, because he had heard nothing after he joined the army, so she had no choice but to marry someone else in order to survive. Later, Xu Shiyou met, fell in love with one of his female comrades-in-arms and successfully entered the palace of marriage, and this female comrade-in-arms also gave birth to a son for him.
Unfortunately, in the process of participating in a battle, his comrade-in-arms wife unfortunately died, which forced Xu Shiyou's second marriage experience to come to an end. Later, Xu Shiyou married his third wife. And this lady finally became the woman who could accompany him for the rest of his life.
Third, the growth experience of Xu Shiyou's sons.
First of all, the growth experience of the eldest son Xu Guang. Xu Guang was the son of Xu Shiyou and his comrade-in-arms wife, because when he was born, he was in the stage when Xu Shiyou was busy fighting, so he had no time to take care of this son. Fortunately, this son followed his mother, was well educated, and even knew how to use his leisure time to try to learn about the ocean he loved. Later, he was picked up by Xu Shiyou, and not only did he not enjoy any special treatment, but he was also sent directly to the army by Xu Shiyou to receive a strict education.
Xu Shiyou, once written by a subordinate of Xu Shiyou, described in "Xu Shiyou in the Eyes of an Old Border Guard": Xu Shiyou has stricter requirements for his family and his children. When he was a soldier at the headquarters of the Nanjing Military Region, Xu Shiyou's eldest son served as a staff officer in an armed department in Henan.
Secondly, the growth experience of the second son Xu Jianjun. Xu Jianjun was the son of Xu Shiyou and his third wife, and like Xu Guang, he was sent to the army by his father very early. However, there was a small episode in his life where he was arrested and imprisoned, because he had been falsely accused of violating military discipline. Fortunately, the relevant departments later rehabilitated him, which allowed him to get out of prison. However, he did not remain in the army after that, but went to the sea to conduct business. It is said that his business is still quite large, at least many celebrities in the business field know that there is such a businessman as him.
Finally, the growth experience of the third son, Xu Yuanchao. Xu Yuanchao was the younger son of Xu Shiyou, born during the Period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Although Xu Shiyou was quite fond of this son, in the process of his growth, Xu Shiyou still did not open a small stove for him. And even so, Xu Yuanchao did not disappoint his father. He first actively participated in the army, and then made many achievements in the army.
In 2000, he was promoted to major general. He then served in the army for eleven years before he was honorably discharged. It's just a pity that many of his brilliant moments can no longer be witnessed by Xu Shiyou, otherwise, Xu Shiyou will definitely be proud and proud of having such an excellent son as him.
If it is someone else, they may choose to use the convenience of their position to open a small stove for their son. And even if they do, no one will say they're not. But Xu Shiyou not only never opened a small stove for his sons, but also very strictly demanded his sons. Let them go to the army from an early age to exercise, let them fight for their future.
