In the face of the harsh environment of struggle, not only is the living conditions not as good as the current living conditions in terms of eating and wearing, but also because of the war, many people may sacrifice their lives in the war, so few people can live past more than 80 years old, and then there is still a general in modern history, who lived to the age of 105.
The longest-lived general in the history of our party, his name is Lu Zhengcao. He participated in the war before his death, and once had a good relationship with Zhang Xueliang.
At that time, Lü Zhengcao was born in the countryside, because most of the rural family life in China at that time was relatively difficult, but his mother still sent him to literacy, at the age of 8, Lu Zhengcao, who was in primary school, had excellent grades and was not a top student in the eyes of his classmates, but after 4 years, his mother gave up sending Lu Zhengcao to school because of extreme poverty. At that time, his mother felt ashamed of Lu Zhengcao, but instead he comforted his mother and said that it was okay. Although he did not go to school to read, Lu Zhengcao knew that he could not give up the pace of reading, and without Mr. Teaching, he went to borrow a lot of books and read them.
Lü Zhengcao has always insisted on reading, and his thirst for learning spirit was very rare in the society where more than 80% of China was illiterate at that time. Later, under the introduction of relatives, Lü Zhengcao joined Zhang Zuolin's Northeast Army, which at that time was a very strong unit that had been fighting, led by Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang saw that Lü Zhengcao was elegant in his conversation and generous in demeanor, and he wanted to cultivate a group of excellent combat troops, so he sent Lü Zhengcao to study. Lu Zhengcao also lived up to expectations and cherished this opportunity. He grew up in the countryside from an early age, and witnessed the japanese Kou killing and humiliating the villagers in the countryside, and the fierce Japanese army had no humanity. Inspired by this, he vowed to inspire his fighting spirit, study hard, and fight against the Wokou.
In 1925, Lü Zhengcao finally graduated from the Lecture Hall, and he was promoted successively, but seeing the fun-seeking and fun of life within the Fengjun army, he was also extremely cruel, and he did not pay attention to the people at all, and did not regard the fight against the Wokou as his revolutionary task. He was so disappointed that he resigned and returned to his hometown. Later, when Zhang Xueliang reorganized the army, he thought of Lü Zhengcao, a trustworthy person, and he wanted to pull Lü Zhengcao over as his general.
Later, he wanted to force Old Chiang Kai-shek to resist Japan and launched an incident, because seeing old Chiang's inaction was not at all what a normal patriotic Chinese could do. After that, Old Jiang did not let Zhang Xueliang return. And Lü Zhengcao was most trusted by the Kuomintang, Zhang Xueliang, who secretly joined the Communist Party after Zhang Xueliang was arrested. Because he saw that the style of the Communist Party was very simple and close to the villagers, they did not take a needle and a thread from the masses, they were extremely attached to the Chinese revolution, and they were bent on expelling the Japanese from China.
He saw hope, so he volunteered to join the Communist Party of China, and Lu Zhengcao did make great contributions to the party, participating in large and small wars during the Northeast Army period, and after joining the Communist Party, he also repeatedly made great achievements and achieved outstanding results.
In addition to being able to play against the Japanese, Lu Zhengcao also has a very popular sports activity, that is, playing tennis. This activity has accompanied him all his life, and it is also due to his daily exercise that his body is also very good. Lu Zhengcao rarely got sick in his life, and he often played a round with others during his war breaks, one was able to relax, and the other was to exercise his physical fitness.
It is precisely because of his strong physical fitness and strong combat ability that he makes the Japanese Kou feel frightened. Lu Zheng can live to the age of 105 after the exercise, and playing tennis is also inseparable, and he died not because of illness, but due to aging body.
After the founding of the people's republic, Lü Zhengcao was awarded the title of general. With the growth and independence of the motherland, Lu Zhengcao has also witnessed the continuous development of our motherland, and he can also close his eyes with peace of mind. This long-lived admiral will surely be proud of future generations when he sees the motherland today, and proud of the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland.
