During the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when the Kuomintang was engaged in all-out confrontation, there were still many outstanding young generals in our party; as we all know, Marshal Chen Yi was one of the "Ten Marshals," and his contribution to New China was very great, but as everyone knows, Marshal Chen Yi's family members have all made contributions on the road to the founding of New China.
Today we will talk about Marshal Chen Yi's cousin Chen Xiuhe, Chen Xiuhe, whose original name was Chen Shijue, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.
Most of the Whampoa students followed Chiang Kai-shek to join the Kuomintang, and generally students who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy entered the Kuomintang in important positions.
Both Chen Xiuhe and Chen Mengxi chose to join the Kuomintang, which was stronger than the Communists in both numbers and military economies.
After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Chen Xiuhe served as Chiang Kai-shek's aide-de-camp and Kuomintang instructor in 1927, and studied in France in 1932, majoring in military engineering in France, and was a famous military engineering expert.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Xiuhe was an important member of the Kuomintang army stationed in Yunnan, and he was also the chief of the major general department stationed in Hong Kong and Vietnam.
He also led the Dian army to Vietnam to accept the surrender of the Japanese army, and seeing the Japanese army hanging a white flag, he could not help but feel that his blood was boiling, and the eight-year-long War of Resistance Against Japan was finally over.
The feelings of Chen Xiu and Yu Chen Yi and others are very good, although they belong to two parties, but their feelings have not been affected, Chen Xiuhe, as the boss of the family, has always been an example for Marshal Chen Yi to learn.
In 1921, Chen Yi and Chen Xiuhe participated in the student movement in France, and only two of the 102 people were driven back to China, when they realized that if a country was strong enough, no one in a foreign country would dare to move you.
At that time, China was very backward in military economy and had no voice in the international community, and after the recommendation of the recommender, the brothers entered the Whampoa Military Academy at different times.
Upon graduation, Chen Yi refused, and Chen Xiuhe joined the Kuomintang with Chen Mengxi's invitation, and finally had to go their separate ways.
After Chen Xiu and France returned from studying in France, he became the director of the Military Engineering Bureau, specializing in the study of military engineering.
In 1927, when the Nanchang Uprising broke out, Chen Yi completed the mission with the help of two elder brothers, and several of them grew long hair after a brief reunion in Shanghai and had not seen each other for nearly two decades.
The Tao is different and does not conspire, the three brothers stand in different camps, and they are ultimately opposites.
In 1946, Chiang Kai-shek once sent Chen Xiuhe to secretly counter-plot Chen Yi, but in vain, Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to rely on the international during the War of Resistance Against Japan to coordinate Japan's aggression against China, but at home he always wanted to go to civil war, which Chen Xiuhe had always disagreed with.
He felt that if he really wanted the country to become strong quickly, he had to cooperate with the Communist Party and live in peace, and that blind war would not solve any problems
Chen Xiuhe served as the director of the Shenyang Arsenal after his surrender in Vietnam, and in 1948, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram ordering Chen Xiuhe to blow up the arsenal, and it took a lot of effort to treat the arsenal Chen Xiuhe.
Just like treating their own children, no parent would be willing to destroy their children, and under the repeated persuasion of Chen Yi, they resolutely chose to surrender to the People's Liberation Army, revolted in Shenyang, and turned around and threw themselves into the embrace of Marxism-Leninism.
Therefore, it has also preserved the largest arsenal in China, where many advanced weapons have been manufactured and contributed to the military strength of our Party.
In 1949, after the founding of New China, Chen Xiuhe served as the director of the Shenyang Arsenal, and finally met his younger brother Chen Yi, whom he had not seen for more than 20 years.
When the two eight-foot boys saw each other, they couldn't help but blush their eyes, because the previous camps were inconsistent and had different beliefs, so it was difficult to ascend to the sky when they met each other.
Chen Xiuhe quickly entered the battle to build a new China after the founding of New China, and he was present in such projects as the "Three Gorges Reservoir," the "Sichuan-Chongqing Line," and the "South-to-North Water Diversion Project," and also trained a large number of outstanding technicians for New China.
At the same time, Chen Xiuhe also compiled many literary and historical materials on the military industry.
During the Cultural Revolution, the "Gang of Four" headed by Jiang Qing persecuted Chen Xiuhe, saying that he was a Kuomintang agent and that thanks to the protection of Premier Zhou Enlai, he did not cause him much harm.
He actively cooperated with the organization's investigation and proved his innocence with facts like the party and the people, and there were many such things during the Cultural Revolution.
Chen Xiuhe died in 1998 at the age of 101, looking back on his life is legendary, immortal, young and promising, and firm in his belief, that is, to change China.
Although we have taken some detours in the exploration of the road, the outcome is good, our country needs such talents, and our party also needs such people with lofty ideals to join.
Persist in taking the Marxist road, so that China's future road will become more and more brilliant and longer.
