Mention the name of Comrade Su Yu, I believe that almost no Chinese will feel strange. After the founding of New China, the Party and the state decided to award meritorious titles to those comrades who had outstanding performances in the revolution. On September 7, 1922, the prestigious military rank was awarded. Comrade Su Yu was one of the first "great generals" to be awarded titles.
The rank of the great general shows that the Party and the state are highly certain of Comrade Su Yu's performance in the years of revolutionary struggle. Comrade Su Yu is a straightforward personality and does things informally. These characteristics of Comrade Su Yu seem to be an advantage, and it is inevitable that in the disciplined army, it will inevitably bring about the undesirable effect of attracting blackmail for himself.
1. Criticize the actions of Dou Suyu
Comrade Su Yu's straightforward personality is well known in the military. In addition, Comrade Su Yu knows very little about the knowledge of how to behave in the world, and is very bad at handling interpersonal relations. In the period of revolutionary struggle, it is crucial to seize the opportunity to win the battle. Many orders do not need to be reported step by step, and can be issued directly by front-line commanders, and Comrade Su Yu has also developed this habit.
However, when the period of peace had entered, the opportunities for combat were much less, and the revolutionary ranks began to focus on the issue of discipline. This makes Comrade Su Yu, who is accustomed to reporting beyond the level, become a "negative model" in the eyes of many people. As the superior leader of Comrade Su Yu, Mr. Peng was quite critical of Comrade Su Yu's style of conduct.
Comrade Su Yu always crossed the level to report things, which made Mr. Peng very annoyed. So he reported this bad habit of Comrade Su Yu to the great man. At that time, not long after the rectification movement was launched, many comrades in the revolutionary contingent had not yet come to and corrected the bad habits they had developed during the wartime, and the great man instructed Comrade Peng to vigorously carry out rectification activities.
Therefore, after obtaining the consent of the great man, Comrade Peng Laozong launched the famous "batch of millet movement" at that time. Comrade Huang Kecheng had a good relationship with Mr. Peng and his work style was quite the same, so he also actively participated in the "batch millet movement." In addition, Comrade Tan Zheng, who was deeply displeased by Comrade Su Yu's transgression, was also the main force in the movement.
Comrade Su Yu suffered a very serious blow during this campaign. Being regarded as a negative model has made Comrade Su Yu very difficult to accept, and coupled with the three people led by Mr. Peng, Comrade Huang Kecheng, and Comrade Tan Zheng, Comrade Su Yu's heart is quite uncomfortable with his vigorous criticism.
Although Comrade Su Yu was extremely disapproving of a series of criticisms of his own behavior in this movement, he was the object of criticism and had no words of suffering at all. What's more, Comrade Su Yu is also well aware of the problem that he is not good at communication, even if he asks him to talk to someone, he is afraid that he will suffer verbal losses, and thus it will not have an effect.
Second, Xiao Jinguang interceded for him
Many comrades in the army who know Comrade Su Yu relatively well know that there is no problem with Comrade Su Yu's personality. This "poppy approval movement" is very unfair to Comrade Su Yu. However, many people know that Comrade Peng's temper is notoriously fiery, and he is extremely strict with revolutionary comrades, and he does not dare to intercede for Comrade Su Yu at all for fear of causing trouble.
Liu Bocheng and others could not bear to see Comrade Su Yu being treated unfairly, and interceded for Comrade Su Yu at the criticism and struggle meeting. It was precisely because of the active intercession of Liu Bocheng and others that Comrade Su Yu's situation at that time was not overly embarrassing.
However, the intercession at the criticism meeting is always to cure the symptoms rather than the root cause, and the key is that there needs to be a person who knows Comrade Su Yu and can explain the situation in front of the great man for him. Comrade Xiao Jinguang, as Comrade Su Yu's revolutionary comrade-in-arms, knows very well that Comrade Su Yu does not have the so-called "individual heroism." Therefore, Comrade Xiao Jinguang went to the great man to help Su Yu speak.
Comrade Xiao Jinguang, born in Changsha, Hunan, and the great man is considered a fellow countryman. Not only that, Comrade Xiao Jinguang has seen great people since 1930 and has been following them ever since. Counting the time, Comrade Xiao Jinguang had been following the great man for twenty-eight years. Therefore, Comrade Xiao Jinguang has some understanding of great men.
Comrade Xiao Jinguang knew that the reason why the great man instructed Comrade Peng to criticize Comrade Su Yu was only to make Comrade Su Yu realize the problems existing in him and correct them, and he did not really want to criticize Su Yu. So he explained in detail in front of the great man the reasons why Comrade Su Yu was prone to the problem of skipping the level and reporting, which proved that Comrade Su Yu was not "individualistic."
In addition, Comrade Xiao Jinguang also recalled to the great man Comrade Su Yu's outstanding performance in the revolution, indicating that Comrade Su Yu was a revolutionary comrade who fought bravely, made great achievements in battle, and took a very firm stand. The great man recognized Comrade Xiao Jinguang's ideas, so he ordered Mr. Peng and others to stop the critical movement against Comrade Su Yu.
Third, Su Yu was rehabilitated
Comrade Peng has always been known for his violent temper in the military, because he has been living a very hard life since he was a child. After growing up and joining the army, Comrade Peng laozong is known for fighting hard battles, so the requirements for soldiers are also very strict. Therefore, it was only when it was suggested to the great man to criticize Comrade Su Yu's behavior.
Through Comrade Xiao Jinguang's description, Mr. Peng also had a better understanding of Comrade Su Yu. After the critical movement against Comrade Su Yu stopped, Comrade Su Yu was able to return to his previous post under the vigorous protection of Comrade Liu Bocheng and others.
Not only that, Comrade Su Yu's incident also received Deng Gong's attention. Deng Gong conducted a detailed investigation into Comrade Su Yu's personality, and finally believed that he did not have the problem of "individualism" and rehabilitated him.
After being rehabilitated, Comrade Su Yu better threw himself into his work. Continue to contribute their light and heat to the party and the country and the people. It was not until October 1980 that Comrade Su Yu was unable to continue his work due to physical reasons. In August 1984, Comrade Su Yu completed his life and passed away because of the torment of illness.
summary
Comrade Su Yu is a well-deserved great general. Although he was slightly deficient in his dealings with the world, his loyalty to the people at the party and state level was beyond reproach. Moreover, the outstanding military ability displayed by Comrade Su Yu in the years of revolutionary struggle is also worthy of learning from future generations.
Not only that, Comrade Su Yu, as a generation of revolutionary volunteers, can be said to have "made great contributions" to the founding of New China. Comrade Su Yu's patriotic spirit of shedding blood and sacrificing for the country is worth forever engraving.
