Peng Dehuai and his wife Pu Anxiu had no children after marriage, and had no children under their knees. Therefore, some people once thought that Peng Dehuai did not like children.

　　In fact, Peng Dehuai has great expectations for the younger generations and is very concerned about the growth of the children.

During the Liberation War, Peng Dehuai became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, acting alone in the northwest, commanding everything, working day and night, and preparing for hard work. Once, on the way to northern Shaanxi, Mr. Peng found a fellow villager in the station who could not educate his children, often scolded children, and even beat children.

　　To this end, Mr. Peng deliberately arranged time to find the parents of the children and talk with the fellow villagers. Then, kindly pointed out to him that educating children is to explain the reasoning well, and scolding at every turn is not the way to educate children...

　　Under the repeated persuasion and guidance of Mr. Peng, the fellow gradually learned some methods of educating the children, and the little girl who was often beaten and scolded by her father knew that after Mr. Peng interceded for her, the big tears came out of her eyes...

　　During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Commander Peng Dehuai of the Chinese Volunteer Army went out to look at the terrain when he found a teenage girl with a five- or six-year-old child in her arms, curled up in a pile of grain grass on the hillside and "whimpering" and crying.

　　Through the translation, Commander Peng Dehuai learned that the children's father joined the People's Army, and the mother fled with them and was killed by the enemy army. Commander Peng held the two children tightly in his arms, his thick lips trembling, his eyes filled with tears, and he expressed great sympathy for these two unfortunate children. This scene touched many people present.

　　Under the care of Commander Peng, the two children were settled in the home of a big mother. Every day at dusk, Peng Dehuai would always bring cans and biscuits, rush to the eldest mother's house, come to see the children, encourage the children to live well and grow up quickly, do not fear the enemy, and when they grow up, they must bravely fight against the invaders.

　　In the autumn of 1953, Peng Dehuai successfully completed the task of commanding the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, returned to China, served as vice premier in charge of the party's military work and minister of national defense, and lived in Zhongnanhai. At this time, several of his nephews and nieces, as well as the daughters of Huang Gongluo and Zuo Quan, were with him. Peng Dehuai regarded them as his own children, both strict and caring.

　　Although Peng Dehuai is a military commander who commands thousands of troops and horses, he cares about taking care of his children, but he is very delicate, completely a kind father, even comparable to any mother.

　　Every summer, no matter how busy he is, he can't forget to personally take the children to swim. In order to make the children train a strong physique from an early age, he insisted that the children must be rinsed with cold water like themselves after swimming, but at the same time, he was afraid that the water temperature was too low for the children to stand, so he took the trouble to personally bring a large small basin of water, and put one small basin after another with cold water and put it in the sun. After all this preparation is completed, go into the water to swim with the children and enjoy the fun.

　　In the Wu Family Garden where he lived, there was such a story.

　　Once, Peng Dehuai found that a little girl from a nearby resident had been wrapping a piece of cloth around a book to go to school.

　　Coming from a poor background, he speculated that this must be the child's family living in difficulty, and he did not have money to buy her a school bag. It was understood that the situation was exactly as he expected. Peng Dehuai was sad.

　　In order to make the child study with peace of mind, Peng Dehuai wanted to give her some help, but he was afraid that the child would not accept it and hurt the child's self-esteem. Therefore, he deliberately had more contact with the child.

　　He often talked to the little girl on the side of the road about learning and talking about ideals, guiding her to study well and improve every day. The little girl therefore liked this kind old man who cared about herself very much. After spending a long time together, he developed a friendship with the little girl.

　　At this time, he happily led the child to the store and bought her a school bag pen.
