He was the first founding general to voluntarily resign, the old sofa was full of holes, but he insisted on using it for 40 years
There were 57 founding generals, one of whom was named Zhu Liangcai, because in the eight-year War of Resistance and the four-year civil war, he was not a general on the battlefield, so his name was not loud.
But to become a founding general, there must be advantages that others can't match, such as his hardships and frugality.
In the revolutionary years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Liangcai fell ill and wounded, so not long after he became the founding general, he took the initiative to apply for resignation from all positions, and was the first founding general to resign. Although he resigned, his status was still very high, so what he was most worried about was that his family would use his identity for profit.
Therefore, Zhu Liangcai always warned his family not to move the idea of taking advantage of the public, and no one should touch the issue of principle, otherwise he would be rude to anyone.
In Zhu Liangcai's position, daily necessities are regularly distributed by the organization, and he has also set rules at home for this matter.
Zhu Liangcai said that when organizing the distribution of supplies, their family had to wait until the last to receive it, and they could only receive the cheapest one. His secretary was responsible for receiving supplies, and had to listen to Zhu Liangcai's will, waiting until the end each time to get them, and the expensive things had never been taken. In 1949, the organization gave Zhu Liangcai a sofa to his home.
Due to his high status, his family would often be visited by people, and people would sit on the sofa, and over time they would become old. According to the regulations, Zhu Liang can ask for a new sofa again.
But Zhu Liangcai said that he could not get it if he received others, his contribution was not large, or continue to use the old sofa.
After many years of use, Zhu Liangcai's sofa has a lot of holes, and his secretary can't bear it anymore and wants to tell him to buy a new one. Who knew that Zhu Liang had only found out, he scolded the secretary fiercely, or continued to use the old sofa. What is unexpected is that his sofa has been used for 40 years, and finally it cannot be used at all before it is thrown away.
In Zhu Liangcai's position, the treatment is very good, it is easy to buy a sofa, so others can't figure out why he has to use the old sofa all the time. He told others that it is easy to buy a sofa, but it is not easy to adhere to the style of hard work and thrift.
In his later years, the wall of Zhu Liangcai's house collapsed, and the organization was ready to rebuild a higher wall for him.
But Zhu Liangcai disagreed, he believed that the high wall would block the sunlight, and the people would suffer losses. The organization said that the high wall was built for his safety. Zhu Liangcai was angry when he heard this, saying that he served the people, and he did not do bad things, no one would come to harm him, and in the end there was no wall.
