In 1963, a donkey died in Hebei. Unexpectedly, 3 years later, this incident caused quite a stir, and a peasant immediately wrote a letter and reported the matter to Deng Xiaoping in 1510.
Gao Ruyi, who is 47 years old, never imagined that he would be labeled a "collective crime" for a donkey in the production team.
At first, the donkey jumped into the well and drowned in a madness, although it was an accident that occurred when his wife was on duty, but no one looked for him because of it.
But now some people have turned over old accounts and asked him to compensate the brigade for hundreds of dollars, and even proposed to sell his pig and tear down his house to lose money.
A few hundred dollars was a sum that could crush people at that time.
In Gao Ruyi's view, this was a major matter of human life, and in the face of various major state events, it was actually nothing, but after Deng Xiaoping received the letter, he took time out of his busy schedule and personally wrote a letter to the local government, instructing: "Deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters."
Who is this Gao Ruyi, and what kind of relationship has he had with Deng Xiaoping?
In 1946, in order to resist the attack of the Nationalist army, the Jinji-Hebei Luyu Field Army led by Liu Deng issued a call to join the army to the vast number of young people.
Gao Ruyi, who came from a guerrilla background, immediately responded and signed up for the battlefield at the first time, and his life thus intersected with Deng Xiaoping.
From the leap into Dabie Mountain to the Battle of Huaihai, Gao Ruyi followed the troops all the way to fight, and soon became a squad leader with his brave performance on the battlefield.
Three years later, in April 1949, the Battle of the River Crossing was on the verge of breaking out.
After receiving the order to cross the river, Gao Ruyi led the soldiers of the 136th Regiment, 3 Battalions, 7 companies, and 5 squads to jump on the "Haizhou" and rushed to the opposite bank at the fastest speed despite the enemy's artillery fire.
Enemy shells rained down, setting off waves of waves on the river. Suddenly, a shell exploded next to the Haizhou, the shipwright was stunned on the spot, two soldiers were unfortunately killed, and Gao Ruyi's arm was also cut by shrapnel.
The speed of the Haizhou suddenly slowed down, and it was no different from the enemy's live target on the surface of the river full of bullets and bullets. Gao Ruyi then quickly stepped forward, grasped the handle of the ship, stabilized the ship, and shouted to the soldiers behind him:
"Don't panic, I'll hold the boat, you paddle, you must cross the Yangtze River today!"
The warriors responded with a loud voice and moved their separate ways, and the Haizhou accelerated again, and soon rushed to the front of the fleet. The ships sailed to the shore, and the warriors, led by Gao Ruyi, abandoned their boats into the water, crossed the shoals, and rushed to the position first.
Before the enemy, who was still setting up the machine gun, could react, he saw the man on the shore raise his gun and shoot at himself, and then an arrow jumped up and snatched the machine gun away.
The warriors of the 5th Squad took the lead and quickly suppressed the enemy's fire with the help of favorable terrain. Gao Ruyi hung the machine gun around his neck, and after leading two fighters around, he threw out several grenades and neatly pulled out one of the enemy strongholds.
The landing operation went smoothly, and just as the enemy was preparing to counterattack, a platoon of the 7th Company also rushed up, and the fighters became more and more courageous, knocking down row after row of enemy troops.
After the consent of the platoon leader, Gao Ruyi led the people around to the back of the enemy and shouted loudly: "Surrender the gun and don't kill!" Some enemies who had long since lost their will to fight had laid down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.
At the Erye Commendation Conference, the 5th class won the collective first class merit, and the squad leader Gao Ruyi was also rated as a special combat hero and was personally received by Deng Xiaoping.
Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the trumpet of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea sounded, and Gao Ruyi, who had experienced hundreds of battles, once again crossed the Yalu River without hesitation and charged into battle to defend the country.
And it is such a veteran, after living in anonymity for many years, but he was framed for no reason and fell into a dilemma of no availability.
Fortunately, Deng Xiaoping still had some impressions of Gao Ruyi, so he quickly wrote back and helped Gao Ruyi tide over the difficulties.
After this incident, the identity of Gao Ruyi's special combat hero was also exposed to everyone.
Government leaders came to the door to comfort the old man, after the noise, no one came back to find Gao Ruyi's trouble, the old hero's life finally returned to peace as he wished.
