March 2 marks the 105th birthday of Choi Tin Min, former political commissar of the Railway Corps. I would like to write a nostalgic article on the available material. There are three reasons: First, in the railway soldier literature I have collected, Commissar Cui is relatively large, which is related to the long time he has served as the leader of the railway soldier. The information includes photos, instructions, etc.; In that special era, Commissar Cui showed a firm political stance in handling some incidents, with flexible tactics and humanitarian feelings. 2. The Railway Soldier Memorial Hall collected cultural relics materials, and his children presented to the memorial hall the precious lieutenant general's dress and other cultural relics; China Railway Construction held a donation ceremony, and Cui Yuxi, daughter of Political Commissar Cui, made a speech on behalf of the donors on behalf of the donors. Third, the children of Commissar Cui have a strong feeling of railway soldiers, and in the early years, his eldest son Cui Shilin had asked for a CD-ROM of the song "Railway Soldiers Are In the Four Directions" from many sources; Cui Weihua, the daughter of Commissar Cui, went to establish WeChat contacts with me, often sending me information on the content of the railway soldiers, and forwarding a large number of articles on the content of the railway soldiers I wrote. is the preamble.

When commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army's Long March, I wrote an article entitled "We are the team led by the Red Army." Among the successive commanders and political commissars of the railway troops, except for Huang Yifeng, the first director of the railway column, and Lü Zhengcao, the political commissar of the railway troops, all of them were cadres of the Red Army, and The political commissar Cui was the only Red Army in northern Shaanxi.
Cui Tianmin is a native of Suide County, Shaanxi Province. There is a saying that "the mother-in-law of the rice fat Suide's Han" is that the woman of the rice fat is beautiful and the man of suide is handsome. Look at commissar Cui's photo of his military uniform, and you will know what kind of a heroic warrior he is!
