Introduction: The Communist Party led the people to the light, established a new China, and made the people truly the masters of the country. These Communist leaders advised the army on the battlefield, led the soldiers to kill the enemy heroically, and were very grounded in private, often mingling with the local masses, and everyone also called the Communist Party "the people's army". Of course, in the army, many generals are very humorous in private, such as Chen Geng.
Chen Geng, born in 1903 in Xiangxiang, Hunan, as a descendant of the Xiang Army, he practiced kung fu from an early age, and was the leader of local children when he was a child, often avenging those who were bullied. At the age of 21, he was successfully admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and became a student managed by Zhou Enlai. During his studies at school, because of his funny humor and was liked by Zhou Enlai, he let him go to the Blood Flower Drama Club he founded and arranged for him to participate in some drama performances.
At that time, Zhou Enlai was the director of the political department of the Whampoa Military Academy, and out of his liking for Chen Geng, he would often arrange role performances for him. Once the school performed a drama performance, Chen Geng performed on the stage of men dressed as women. Because it was his first large-scale performance, Chen Geng changed his hippie smile in the past, rehearsed seriously, and received applause from a large number of students on the day of the performance because of his vivid performance, which made him famous at the Whampoa Military Academy, and he also received the attention of many school students and became a celebrity. At that time, the Whampoa Military Academy had three major celebrities, and Chen Geng was one of them.
Of course, Chen Geng's humor can be seen in ordinary life. There are many students at the Whampoa Military Academy who smoke, but because school rules do not allow students to smoke, these students will hide in their dormitories and smoke quietly.
At that time, Chen Geng saw that some classmates were smoking in the dormitory, so he pretended to be the director of teaching, and deliberately let the shoes step out of the sound to make everyone think that this was the director of teaching, and his classmate Jiang Xianyun really believed it, and when he heard the outside saying: "Who is secretly smoking, the smoke is swirling", Jiang Xianyun could only walk out in shame, but the outgoing people saw Chen Geng laughing, and he found that he was deceived, and this matter also caused everyone to laugh.
Because Chen Geng and Mao Zedong were fellow countrymen, Chen Geng began to follow Mao Zedong in the revolution after graduation. At that time, Mao Zedong admired his military talent and made him the head of the regiment. Chen Geng was very strong in fighting wars, and often fought enemies who fled into the wilderness, but in the process of getting along with Chairman Mao, he often did some funny things.
For example, at a plenary meeting of the Central Committee, Chairman Mao, as the keynote speaker, spoke at the front about the content of the congress and the question of the troops. Because this meeting was held for a long time, Chen Geng slowly couldn't sit still during the meeting, and coupled with the fact that he didn't have any water to drink, the meeting became even more torturous.
After that, Chen Geng made a bold move, he strode to Chairman Mao, picked up the cup on the table and drank the water inside, Mao Zedong looked directly at Leng, and then Chen Geng said: "Report Chairman, the day is too hot, I am thirsty and want to drink a sip of water from you." After saying this, everyone in the conference room laughed, and Chairman Mao also laughed. But once Chen Geng joked with Chairman Mao, he was counterattacked by Chairman Mao, and this time he also frightened Chen Geng.
It was in 1947, when Chen Geng, who had been far from Mao Zedong for many years, was ordered by the central authorities to lead his four columns back to the northern Shaanxi headquarters to protect the central headquarters. At that time, Chen Geng's troops rushed over non-stop, and chairman Mao wanted to meet chen geng in the past few days when he arrived in northern Shaanxi, but he never had the opportunity, and at the meeting afterwards, he saw that Chen Geng did not speak, and then invited Chen Geng and Zhou Enlai to drink together. On that day, Chairman Mao received the two in his cave.
After three rounds of drinking, Chen Geng excitedly said to Chairman Mao, Chairman, I don't think you should have sent me here, I have great respect for you and Vice Chairman Zhou, but I was transferred to the central government to make a big deal out of it, and I should go to the south of the Yellow River to fight the enemy to the death. After hearing these words, Chairman Mao said indignantly: "Do you know how tight the military strength of the Central Committee is now, I can't even move your little commander!" ”
After hearing Chairman Mao's words, Chen Geng immediately sobered up, stood up and said to Chairman Mao: "Chairman, I strictly obey the arrangements of the Central Committee." It can be said that Chairman Mao's words frightened Chen Geng, and he also became very panicked. However, after Zhou Enlai explained the original committee, the original headquarters changed its mind and asked Chen Geng to lead the troops to the western Henan region to assist Chen Yisuyu's army. When he heard the news, Chen Geng smiled.
Chen Geng was a very humorous person, but this time "spitting out the truth after drinking" made Chen Geng directly frightened by Mao Zedong. Chairman Mao also said to Chen Geng afterwards that if he had any opinions in the future, he would tell me not to put them in his heart, but to express his or her own opinions.
