Ten years ago, the war drama "Bright Sword", starring teacher Li Youbin and others, must also be a classic in the minds of countless people! Indeed, the role of Li Yunlong played by teacher Li Youbin is undoubtedly too classic, this protagonist can be said to be really popular all over the country, but in fact, many of the characters in the play have prototypes, some people say that Li Yunlong's prototype is the founding lieutenant general Wang Jinshan, and Zhao Gang in the play also has a prototype.
Zhao Gang in the play is Li Yunlong's political commissar, a very honest and talented general, his Li Yunlong personality is exactly the opposite, but it can be successfully integrated, it must be said that Zhao Gang is very set, and Zhao Gang's final ending is still very regrettable, he chose to commit suicide during the special period, but later he was also rehabilitated.
And Zhao Gang's prototype is the protagonist of this article, he is General Li Zhen, 22 years old to join the revolution, 55 years to award the founding of the major general, it is estimated that many people should not be so familiar with Li Zhen, after all, there are indeed too many generals in our army, and many people's fame is really very large, and although General Li Zhen said that the fame is not so big, but in our army has a good reputation, his cultural talent is undoubtedly extremely prominent in the army, he was admitted to Tsinghua, but later because of the full outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Li Zhen felt incomparably angry, so he, like many people, chose to abandon his pen and follow Rong, so he angrily left his beloved campus and embarked on the road of revolution.
General Li Zhen is a native of Hebei, born in 1914, in fact, he began to be attracted by revolutionary ideas, which has a lot to do with a celebrity in his village, he is the famous anti-Japanese general Hao Mengling, Hao Mengling is the commander of the 9th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, once served under Feng Yuxiang, experienced the Northern Expedition War, the Central Plains War, etc., in 1935 was already a lieutenant general, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Hao Mengling served as the commander of the Central Army, and in the subsequent War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he also played the prestige of Chinese soldiers.
It is extremely sad that on October 16, 1937, Hao Mengling died in the Battle of Xinkou on the Great White Water Front in Shanxi, and was the first commander to die in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
For Li Zhen, in fact, Hao Mengling valued him very early, and Li Zhen was able to study in fact, General Hao Mengling was funding him, and Li Zhen did not live up to Hao Mengling's cultivation of him, he was indeed incomparably excellent in learning, and he was successfully admitted to the journalism department of Tsinghua University at the age of 20.
But who could have imagined that 1 year later, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, followed by a bloody rain and wind, the most dangerous moment of the Chinese nation came, as a hot-blooded man, Li Zhen hated the Japanese army so much that he gritted his teeth, he was completely unable to calm down and learn cultural knowledge, he knew that if the country perished, then there was no point in their lives, so Li Zhen simply gave up his studies and chose to devote himself to the revolution.
After entering the army, Li Zhen was also greatly promoted; after all, he was a highly qualified student and very intelligent, and soon he was already a treasure in the hearts of his superiors; after that, he successively served as director of the political office of the 2nd Brigade of the Jixi Guerrilla Brigade, political commissar of the guerrilla brigade directly under the Taihang Military Region, political commissar of the 32nd Regiment of the newly organized 11th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, deputy director of the Political Department of the 4th Military Subdistrict of the Taihang Military Region, and director of the Political Department of the 6th Military Subdistrict of the Taihang Military Region.
During the war, Li Zhen also commanded the battle with the fierce general Xiao Yongyin, and achieved many beautiful achievements. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Zhen also had many appointments, and in 1966 he became the executive vice minister of the Ministry of Public Security.
But what no one expected was that on October 21, 1973, a very sad news came that General Li Zhen was found dead in the underground heat pipe ditch of the Ministry of Public Security organ compound, at the age of 59.
