Ren Rong: Joined the army at the age of 16 and crossed the snowy mountains 3 times, collected the remains of the martyr Mao Anying, and fought in Tibet for 16 years

In 1953, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea came to an end. We have also begun the collection and burial of the remains of volunteer martyrs. The remains of Mao Anying's martyrs were buried by Ren Rong, then a member of the "Armistice Committee." The life of this Ren Rong is also unusual and extraordinary.

1. Juvenile Ren Rong

Ren Rong is a native of Sichuan and lives in a small mountain village in northern Sichuan. Originally, Ren Rong's life would be like his ancestors, and he would focus on farming for generations. However, the changes of the times have fundamentally changed Ren Rong's fate.

Ren Rong was a sharecropper in the landlord's family. There is an old Chinese saying: to be rich is not to be kind. Ren Rong's proprietorship is a typical example of the rich and unkind: the son of the landlord's family often teases and bullies Ren Rong.

Finally around 1933, things changed. Before that, the scope of activities of the Red Fourth Front spread to Ren Rong's hometown, and although Ren Rong did not know what the Red Army was doing, there was a scene that he remembered vividly: that is, the landlords and shaodong families who were high up in the sky on weekdays, after hearing the news of the arrival of the Red Army, panicked like dogs that lost their families - of course, in the propaganda of the landlords, the Red Army was a ghost with green faces and fangs. However, Ren Rong did not believe the landlord's lies: after all, the landlord was already bad enough, and it was estimated that there was no worse group under the heavens than the landlord. Therefore, Ren Rong found the Red Army and joined the Red Army. This year, Ren Rong was not yet 16 years old.

Revolutionary career

Ren Rong's parents heard that Ren Rong was going to join the Red Army and were quite troubled by Ren Rong's decision: on the one hand, they also knew the various benefits of the Red Army, especially the scene of the landlord bully's discouragement, which made them remember it vividly. On the other hand, the son joined the Red Army and did not know when he would be able to return home? However, his parents still agreed with Ren Rong's opinion and let Ren Rong join the Red Army.

After Ren Rong joined the Red Army, he participated in climbing the snowy mountains three times - because the Red Fourth Front sometimes considered establishing a base area in southern Sichuan in terms of decision-making, which meant that after passing through the snowy mountains, it was necessary to return. Ren Rong participated in this process throughout the process. Moreover, this process can be described as nine deaths- at that time, the enemy sent aircraft to bomb and also sent infantry to pursue and kill. The cold of the snowy mountains and the existence of the swamps also made many Red Army soldiers sacrifice.

After the completion of the Long March, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army shortly thereafter and began anti-Japanese activities. Ren Rong also participated in the War of Resistance during this period. During the Liberation War, Ren Rong was also wounded for commanding soldiers on the front line.

During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Ren Rong was assigned to be responsible for the management of the political dynamics of the volunteer soldiers. Moreover, the martyrs' cemetery of the volunteer army was also built by Ren Rong. In 1955, Ren Rong was awarded the rank of major general.

Plateau career

After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Ren Rong returned to China. However, at this time, the damage of the United States to new China did not stop. Although in North Korea, the U.S. army was defeated by our side. However, the US military has shifted the direction of destruction, and this time, the US military has set its sights on the Tibetan areas on the mainland.

The United States trained a large number of agents, sent them back to Tibet by air, and then let these agents collude with local nobles, toastmasters, and leaders with problematic ideas to launch rebellions and create incidents. After Ren Rong learned of this situation, he took the initiative to ask his superiors for instructions: He hoped that he could go to Tibet, guard Tibet, and preside over all the work in Tibet.

The superiors considered that Ren Rong was a Sichuanese, and there were a large number of Kham Tibetans in the Sichuan border area, and Ren Rong may have better understood the customs and customs of Tibet, so he agreed to Ren Rong's request and appointed Ren Rong to work in Tibet, which was 16 years, and it was not until 1980 that Ren Rong returned to the Han area.

In 2017, Ren Rong passed away at the age of 100. Ren Rong's life's footprints are surprisingly vast — from the snow-capped mountains of Sichuan to the plateau of northern Shaanxi, from the black land of northeast China to the Korean Peninsula, and then to the snowy plateau for more than a decade.
