In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China carried out a vigorous ceremony of conferring titles, and a large number of military personnel who made outstanding contributions to the party and the country received corresponding military ranks in this conferment. But this does not mean that only these people are good leaders, good cadres, and good fighters for the country and the people. On the contrary, there are countless outstanding communists who have not participated in the conferment of the title, and have also dedicated their lives. Among them, Comrade Tao Zhu has served in the military for decades and made countless meritorious contributions, although he has not been awarded a military rank, he has held an important leadership position at the national level.
Tao Zhu likes to learn since he was a child, and likes to study, loves to use his brain, and will take the initiative to think about any problems he encounters, and then put into action after careful consideration. Good study habits allowed Tao Zhu to maintain excellent results, and in 1926, Tao Zhu was successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy. Here, in addition to learning cultural knowledge and receiving military education, he also came into contact with Marxism and learned about the Communist Party. The sensitive Tao Zhu immediately felt that in the current society full of storms and dangers, only by following Marxism and following the footsteps of the party could it be possible to lead thousands of people to a new world. Therefore, with the desire to save the masses of the people from fire and water, Tao Zhu studied Marxist thought more seriously and in depth, and comprehensively studied the party's principles and policies and important theories. After joining the Communist Party, Tao Zhu worked even harder, doing his best to apply the theoretical knowledge he had learned to practice.
After systematic study at the Whampoa Military Academy, Tao Zhu showed excellent organizational and leadership skills. In 1929, Tao Zhu accepted the organization's appointment to carry out revolutionary work in the Fujian region. The 21-year-old Tao Zhu was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the organization, he is not as young and vigorous as his peers, on the contrary, Tao Zhu is very calm in his work, meticulous and rigorous, and cooperates perfectly with his comrades. During his tenure in Fujian, Tao Zhu learned that a large number of Communists and revolutionary masses were being held in a prison in Xiamen, and he immediately contacted the relevant local leaders to discuss rescue plans. Due to the detailed rescue action plan, meticulous deployment, and tacit cooperation between personnel during the operation, dozens of comrades who were detained were successfully rescued and safely transferred in a very short period of time without spending a single shot or a bullet, without injuring a single person or anything. This feat shocked both at home and abroad. In order to better carry out revolutionary work in the Fujian region, Tao Zhu organized and established the workers' and peasants' Red Army guerrillas in the southern Fujian region, and successfully strengthened the revolutionary armed forces.
Later, due to the betrayal of traitors, Tao Zhu was arrested and imprisoned, and the four years of dark prison life did not break Tao Zhu's revolutionary fighting spirit, and he unswervingly adhered to the belief of communists. In 1937, under the full rescue of the party organization, Tao Zhu finally returned to the revolutionary ranks safely. Too late to rest, Tao Zhu immediately rushed to Hubei to start work. Faced with the tense and complicated situation in Hubei at that time, Tao Zhu did not panic at all. He calmly analyzed the current situation in Hubei and the situation of forces on all sides, and formulated a correct plan that is beneficial to the work of our army. Thanks to the efforts of Tao Zhu and his comrades, the form of the revolution in Hubei was very good, and the number and scale of guerrillas increased steadily.
During Tao Zhu's transfer to Yan'an, the Liberation War came to an end. In order to end the civil war as soon as possible and restore the people's stable and stable life, whether or not to peacefully liberate Peiping has become the top priority of the Pingjin Campaign. If the Kuomintang general Fu Zuoyi could be persuaded, then the plan for the peaceful liberation of Peiping would be more than half completed. At the crucial moment, Tao Zhu was calm and calm, and under the skillful cover of his comrades, Tao Zhu, disguised in disguise, blended into Fu Zuoyi's mansion in Beiping alone, and successfully persuaded Fu Zuoyi to abandon armed resistance and accept peace negotiations by himself.
After the founding of New China, the remaining Kuomintang reactionaries hid in the shadows and colluded with local bandit leaders in an attempt to shake the nascent people's power by inciting the bandits to rebel. Tao Zhu, who had received the task of suppressing the bandits, rushed to Guangxi without stopping. After understanding the specific conditions in Guangxi, Tao Zhu formulated a series of plans to suppress bandits, adopted different policies against the fierce bandits and the unmotivated minions, and a set of combined punches, even if the bandits held the elite weapons provided by the Kuomintang reactionaries, they still did not last long before they were broken and surrendered one by one. After solving the problem of banditry, Tao Zhu went deep among the masses, through the workers and peasants working in the frontline, to understand the production and living conditions of the local people, and through the careful discussion of the leading body, formulated a practical and feasible rectification and reform plan to help local residents solve their living difficulties, promote regional economic development, and improve the overall living standards.
At the national award ceremony in 1955, Tao Zhu had long since left the army and was transferred to local work, so Tao Zhu, who had won many military achievements and served in the army for decades, did not appear in the list of awards. However, Tao Zhu's merits and talents were not buried, and the following year he was transferred to the Central Committee, not only becoming a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, but also elected vice premier of the State Council. No matter where he is or what kind of position he holds, Tao Zhu never cares about personal gains and losses, nor does he ever attach importance to the level of official positions and status, he only has work in his eyes, as long as he can do practical things for the people in a down-to-earth manner, Tao Zhu is very satisfied.
However, after the Cultural Revolution began, in order to ensure the normal and stable development of local industry and agriculture, Tao Zhu offended Lin Biao and the Gang of Four, who were arrogant at that time, so they fabricated false accusations and persecuted Zhongliang, and the 61-year-old Tao Zhu died unjustly. Tao Zhu's death is a loss to the country and the people. After the end of the Cultural Revolution, Tao Zhu was rehabilitated, and the Central Committee came forward to hold a memorial service for him, fully affirming Comrade Tao Zhu's great contributions in his life, praising his great achievements, and evaluating him as an outstanding proletarian revolutionary.
