introduction
Xu Shiyou's life is quite legendary, first as a monk in the Shaolin Temple for several years, and then joined the revolutionary team, successively as the captain of the death squad, and participated in various wars. He had a total of seven children under his knees, and as a soldier, his children naturally entered the army. He believes that the army is a good place to train and hone people.
After his seven children entered the army, he never gave them special treatment. Xu Shiyou himself often said:
"In the army, that is the people of the army, whether it is good or bad, they should let them personally experience, and their own road must be taken by themselves!"
Xu Shiyou taught his son Xu Guang: Are you in the death squad or have you sacrificed your life for the country?
Xu Shiyou and his first wife, Zhu Ximing, gave birth to their eldest son, Xu Guang, and after the founding of New China, he became a navy member in February 1950. During his time in the army, Xu Guang never mentioned his special status. During his time in the army, he not only worked steadily and strictly disciplined himself. Not afraid of suffering or tiredness, the superior leaders are very appreciative of him. With his own efforts, Xu Guang also became a regimental cadre and became a machine boat commander.
Originally, Xu Guang still had the opportunity to continue to make progress,
But thinking that his old mother in Dabie Mountain was not yet taken care of, he let him return to Henan
He also said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to complete, and the biggest regret since I joined the army is that I did not have the opportunity to accompany your grandmother and her old man's family, and I owe him too much." ”
Xu Guang
Xu Guang returned to Xinxian County, Henan Province, according to his father's wishes, and became a deputy minister in the local armed forces department. After a few years, there was no improvement, and it was dwarfed by his colleagues. Xu Guang had an opinion in his heart, but he did not dare to say it directly. At one point, he showed a little emotion of his own.
Xu Shiyou also saw it, his face darkened, and he said sternly:
Have you made any great contributions to the country, ever been in the death squad, or have you given your life for the country? We must serve the people well and make contributions to the country. ”
At the last moment of Xu Shiyou's life, he was Xu Shiyou's third son
Xu Yuanchao
Come with him. After Xu Yuanchao entered the army, he served as a staff officer in the Nanjing Military Region. In 1983, the state's troops were rejuvenated, and some outstanding young cadres had to be selected. According to Xu Yuanchao's level, there is no problem at all.
Xu Shiyou has also been a commander, and he can solve things in one sentence. But he didn't do it, not only did he not mention it, he didn't even ask. In the end, Xu Yuanchao rose step by step with his personal ability and became the minister of the military region.
You are limited to three days to hurry back, or you will be expelled from the military!
Xu Shiyou's third daughter was named Xu Huashan, and eventually became a pilot. Speaking of which, Xu Huashan's as a soldier was also a mistake, and did not let her father help, and she herself said that it was an accident. Originally, Xu Huashan's girlfriend wanted to apply for the Air Force. Just in time for the troops to recruit pilots, they pulled Xu Huashan along to apply for the examination.
But after a physical examination was finally conducted, Xu Huashan's friend's physical examination did not meet the standards and was brushed off. Xu Huashan comforted while preparing to go back. Just as the two were about to leave, not a single pilot of the unit was found that day, and the task was not completed. The dean saw that Xu Huashan's physical condition was still good, so he asked her to try it.
Xu Shiyou's third daughter, Xu Huashan
Xu Huashan originally did not have the idea of becoming a pilot, but at the instigation of the dean and his girlfriend, he decided to try it. Unexpectedly, after some inspection, Xu Huashan's physical condition fully met the standards of the Air Force. Xu Huashan did not dare to make decisions on his own, so he went home to discuss with his family. Seeing his daughter say this, Xu Shiyou was half-convinced and asked, "Is it true?" ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Shiyou said, "Since you have passed all the physical examinations, let's go." The army is a good place to train people, and it is not a good thing for you to go to the army and respond to the call of the state. But remember,
Troops are not a blessed place, but be prepared for hardships! ”
Before leaving, Xu Shiyou also asked her daughter to make several requests for her. First of all, you must finish your studies on time and become a qualified soldier. Second, obey the orders of the organization. Finally, after coming to the military academy, you must dare to endure hardships. In this way, Xu Huashan became a pilot at a flight school in the northeast.
During the counterattack against Vietnam, Xu Huashan married, honeymooned with her husband, and did not return to the team. When Xu Shiyou heard the news, he was very angry and said angrily: "
Lao Tzu is still fighting on the front line, spending his honeymoon. Hurry up and inform her team, give her three days, and hurry back, or wait for expulsion! ”
The staff around him were also very shocked to see General Xu angry, this was the first time he had seen him make such a big fire. After Xu Huashan received the news, he did not dare to delay for a moment, quickly packed up his things, and returned to the troops.
Xu Jianjun made a mistake, and Xu Shiyou was angry: Shoot me!
Xu Shiyou is like this to his children, and his grandson is also the same, never special. Xu Daokun is the eldest grandson of Xu Shiyou, who also served as a soldier in the team, and after retiring from the army, he wanted to use his grandfather's relationship to find a good job. After finding Xu Shiyou, he not only refused to agree, but also scolded:
"If you have been a soldier in the army for three years, then you must not be a good soldier, and you can still find a good job." Pack up your things and go back to your hometown to farm! ”
Xu Shiyou's grandson Xu Daojiang failed the college entrance examination, and he also wanted Xu Shiyou to help find a high school and let his children repeat their studies for a year. Xu Shiyou also refused. The daughter-in-law sighed:
My father was a true party member and never used his power for personal gain. ”
Among the many children, the one that worries Xu Shiyou the most is not Xu Huashan, but his second son Xu Jianjun. He was eventually arrested for violating discipline. The family hid it from him, and at a meeting, they learned the truth from other people's mouths. Xu Shiyou said directly:
"Shoot me!"
"General Xu who was present was so excited, if Xu Jianjun was present, I really didn't know what would happen."
Going home and calming down, Xu Shiyou couldn't believe it, Xu Jianjun had performed very well, how did he become like this now? Xu Shiyou is older, and his body is not as good as a day. When his condition worsened, Xu Shiyou opened his eyes and looked at his relatives and friends around him. No one knew that he could not see his second son, Xu Jianjun, and his heart called for his arrival.
It has been 3 years since he last met Xu Jianjun, Xu Shiyou knows that he does not have many days, and he wants to look at it again before he dies. But he also knew that he might never see him again until he closed his eyes.
Xu Jianjun learned the news that his father was seriously ill, and rushed back from Qinghai to see his father for the last time. By the time he arrived at the hospital, all he saw was a cold corpse.
Whether Xu Jianjun bowed or repented, it was useless.
