In the revolutionary years, for the sake of the future of the country and the hope of the nation, many people from different origins and experiences have gathered together, joined the revolutionary ranks, and struggled for common goals.
Among the many revolutionary ancestors, Ulanf was very different from the others.
Of the 57 founding generals awarded in 1955, Ulan Fu was a special one
。 He held the position of deputy state for thirty-four years. In addition, Ulanf's son also held the position of deputy state.
I. The early experience of Ulanf
Those who can be awarded the rank of "founding general" must have made very outstanding contributions to the cause of the revolution.
Almost all of the fifty-seven founding generals took part in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" battles in the Central Soviet Region and also walked through the 25,000-mile long march.
However, among these people, there is no Ulanf.
Ulan fu was born in the steppes of Inner Mongolia. At that time, the vast Inner Mongolia region did not have formal study.
If you want to go to school, you need to go to Beiping. Therefore, some small children of ordinary families rarely have the opportunity to learn.
Fortunately, the family conditions of Ulanf are relatively generous. When he was seven or eight years old, his parents sent him to Beiping to study at the Mongolian and Tibetan school in Beiping.
This learning experience completely changed Ulanf's life. In school, Ulanf was exposed to many advanced ideas. This was a big shock to Ulanf.
Because, in inner Mongolia, there are many ethnic minorities and tribes, many of the old customs left over from the Qing Dynasty are still maintained, affecting the lives of many people.
After being exposed to the advanced ideas of democracy and equality, Ulan Fu more deeply realized the backwardness and decay of feudal thought.
Therefore, Ulanf made up his mind: to join the revolution, to let his compatriots in his hometown live a free, equal, and free life.
In 1925, Ulanf became a full party member and was offered the opportunity to study in the Soviet Union. Chinese communist ideas came from the Soviet Union.
Therefore, many revolutionaries have a deep yearning for the Soviet Union. Many revolutionaries also went to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow to study the theory of communism in depth.
During his study abroad, Ulan Fu often discussed topics related to the Chinese revolution with others and constantly deepened his understanding of the revolution
。 I hope that one day in the future, I will apply the theoretical knowledge I have learned to concrete practice. In 1929, Ulanf, who had completed his studies, returned to China and joined the revolutionary work.
In order to escape the persecution of the Kuomintang reactionaries, Ulan fu could only carry out his work in secret. Although the work was limited, this did not diminish Ulanf's revolutionary enthusiasm.
In the course of dealing with the masses, Ulan fu quietly propagated the ideas of communism to them, subtly influencing them.
2. Carry out revolutionary movements
After the outbreak of the "918 Incident", in order to beautify its own aggressive behavior, Japan established a "pseudo-Manchurian regime" in the northeast and supported Puyi to ascend to the throne.
However, the insatiable Japanese are not satisfied with this. The Japanese Kwantung Army launched many intrusion operations in Shanhaiguan, Suiyuan and other areas. Attempted to invade Northern China and Inner Mongolia.
Ulan Fu also knew very well that the Japanese forces must not be allowed to infiltrate into Inner Mongolia.
Therefore, Ulan fu repeatedly mobilized the masses and united to form the Inner Mongolia Self-Defense Army to jointly resist the intrusive activities of the Japanese army.
The despicable Japanese army, in order to achieve its plot to invade and occupy Inner Mongolia, colluded with the feudal remnants of Inner Mongolia in an attempt to repeat the practice in the northeast and support a puppet regime in Inner Mongolia.
At that time, Dewang was the most stubborn feudal force in Inner Mongolia.
In the name of Puyi, the Japanese army sent people to meet with the King of Germany. After a period of collusion between the two forces, the German king threw himself into the Japanese army and became a traitor
。 In order to cover up the fact that he was a traitor and let the Japanese enter Inner Mongolia in a bright and upright manner, King De agreed to set up a commercial department in the government of Inner Mongolia dedicated to serving the Japanese.
Upon hearing the news, Ulan fu was keenly aware that the German king must have defected to the Japanese. In order to crush the Japanese conspiracy, Ulan fu decided to launch a riot in Inner Mongolia to expose the true intentions of the German king and the Japanese.
So, in early 1936, Ulan fu led the revolutionaries in Inner Mongolia to mobilize the masses and launch an armed rebellion at the Bailing Temple.
This armed insurrection succeeded in undermining the conspiracy of the Germans and the Japanese. It also made Ulanfu a hero in the hearts of the people of Inner Mongolia.
Later, Ulan fu came to Yan'an to work. While chatting with Ulanf, speaking of the lark temple riot, Chairman Mao happily praised Ulanfu as a brave and resourceful man.
3. Liberate Inner Mongolia
China is a multi-ethnic country, and for those ethnic minority masses, the party organizations are also very concerned about their situation.
Because Ulanf had a very rich knowledge and work experience, after the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japan, Ulanf was appointed as a member of the Party Organization's Ethnic Affairs Committee.
Soon after, he was appointed Head of Education of the Academy of Nationalities, in charge of the education of ethnic minorities.
Ulanf himself is a minority, and he is clear to the needs of his fellow ethnic minorities. Therefore, in the work, Ulanf is more handy and has excellent work ability.
After the outbreak of the Liberation War, Ulan fu returned to Inner Mongolia and presided over the liberation of inner Mongolia.
With the unremitting efforts of Ulanf and other revolutionaries, inner Mongolia took the lead in establishing an autonomous government in 1947.
Subsequently, Ulan Fu commanded the Platon Army troops, annihilated the Dewang and the remnants of the Kuomintang, and liberated the vast area of Inner Mongolia.
Inner Mongolia is an essential part of China. In the process of liberation of Inner Mongolia, Ulanfu played a very important role.
Thus, in 1955, when the Central Committee decided on the list of military ranks to be conferred, although some people proposed: "Ulanf did not join the Red Army, did not go through the Long March; during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was not a general of the Eighth Route Army." He should not be awarded the rank of general. ”
However, Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, and others considered Ulanfu's contributions in the process of liberating Inner Mongolia to be great enough to confer the rank of general.
In the end, Chairman Mao made a decision and awarded Ulan Fu the rank of "founding general".
4. Summary
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ulanfu served as the chairman of the Inner Mongolia government and made great contributions to promoting the construction and development of Inner Mongolia.
In 1954, Ulanf was elected Vice Premier of the State Council. In the following thirty-four years, Ulan Fu successively served as vice president of the state, vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and other vice-state positions.
In addition, Ulan's son Buch also held a position of deputy state.
Ulanf was a great revolutionary. He dedicated his energy to the country and the people.
In 1988, Ulanf died of illness at the age of eighty-two
。 Although the hero of the revolution has passed away, he will always remain in people's hearts.
