Chinese a good traditional virtue is diligence and frugality, especially for those who have experienced suffering and war, and this traditional virtue has been brought to the extreme. They work hard every day when they leave early and return home late, but they have simple food and clothing, and they never extravagant and wasteful.
Even if life becomes better later, it still can't change the good habit of being industrious and frugal. In fact, not to mention ordinary people, even many founding generals have maintained a good style of frugality, such as General He Bingyan, as the commander of the Grand Military Region.
But he was reluctant to eat fruit even when he was sick, and as a result, he died young at the age of 47.
01
General He Bingyan was a famous founding general on the mainland, who participated in many battles, made outstanding military achievements, and made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China. He Bingyan was born in 1913 in Songzi City, Hubei Province, he grew up in a poor family, his father was a soldier, he fought outside the war for many years, and the family's life was quite difficult.
Unfortunately, when he was nine years old, his mother died, and in order to reduce the burden on the family, He Bingyan dropped out of school at the age of 11 to herd cattle for others, and successively learned many crafts such as pig killing and iron striking.
He Bingyan's personality is very strong and upright, love to fight and hug, whenever he sees a peasant child being bullied by others, he can't help but help, it is this kind of personality that makes him invincible on the battlefield later, and he has made a lot of military achievements.
When He Bingyan was 16 years old, it coincided with He Long leading the Red Army to fight in the Songzi and Yidu areas. He heard the news and did not hesitate to join the ranks of the Red Army. Because of his strong will and outstanding performance, he soon officially joined the Communist Party.
and promoted to cavalry company commander.
He Bingyan fought bravely and bravely, every time he fought, he always rushed to the front, not afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice, in many battles, he made great contributions, so he was deeply appreciated by He Long, and regarded him as a magic weapon for victory.
Whenever there is an emergency, He Long will always call Out He Bingyan, because he knows,
As long as He Bingyan is on the battlefield, then this battle will definitely be able to win.

However, because He Bingyan fought too hard, he was repeatedly injured, with an average of more than twice a year, and the injuries were quite serious. However, He Bingyan never cared about his injuries, and each time he just casually wrapped his wounds with bandages, and continued to fight on the front line the next day.
And what is surprising is that He Bingyan's injuries always get better very quickly, which is enviable, thinking that his blood is good. But He Bingyan thought that the enemy's bullets were weak and could not defeat him, and he had to say,
What a true hero.
He Bingyan was wounded a total of 11 times, leaving 16 wounds on his body, the most serious of which was in 1935, when he was unfortunately killed by a bomb during the battle and broke his right arm, and in order to save his life, the doctor had to saw off his right arm and make him a "one-armed general".
But He Bingyan, like no one else, continued to charge bravely,
In both the War of Resistance And the War of Liberation, he had a good record.
When he was young, He Bingyan's physical fitness was really good, even if he was sick and had a fever of 40 degrees, as long as he poured a basin of cold water on his body, the next day he was still alive. But people will eventually get old, and as they get older, He Bingyan's body bones are not as good as before, coupled with years of conquest, the body has left a lot of old diseases.
And long-term overwork is completely dragging down his body, and later, he has a variety of diseases,
Including heart disease, kidney disease, etc. He Bingyan's body was full of holes.

To this end, the doctor has repeatedly suggested that he be hospitalized, and his comrades-in-arms have also advised him to recuperate, but He Bingyan just does not listen, refuses to be hospitalized, and even often ignores his body because of work.
Even when doctors repeatedly told him to eat more fruit and supplement nutrition, he did not listen to it. Because He Bingyan was reluctant to take money to buy fruit, he felt that his nutrition was good enough and did not need to be supplemented
This money is better to serve the people.
Of course, this is not to say that He Bingyan has no money, after all, as the commander of the military region, his salary is still quite high, but all this money has been donated by him to serve the people, and he himself has always lived a simple life.
And He Bingyan is not only harsh on himself, but also for his family. He never allowed his family to be special, nor did he let them waste extravagantly.
Even if the child was sick and wanted to eat a pound of sugar, he would not agree.
Once, the new secretary did not know He Bingyan's good style, and used the bus to pick up his children from school without authorization, and as a result, after He Bingyan learned about it, he scolded the new secretary fiercely and forbade him to use the bus under false public security.
Later, the secretary no longer dared to use the bus to pick up the children, and instead took the bus.
Due to years of overwork and illness, one day in April 1960, He Bingyan suddenly fainted during a meeting, and later died of illness and ineffective medical treatment at the age of 47.
