In 1954, the Political Academy of the People's Liberation Army was established, with Luo Ronghuan as the dean, Xiao Hua as the first vice president, and Mo Wenhua as the vice president. A few years later, why did Xiao Hua insist on resigning from the School of Political Science?
In the construction of new China, the armed forces should move toward regularization and specialization, and the Nanjing Military Academy has become the first higher military academy of the armed forces, but this cannot meet the needs of various services and arms in cultivating talent. To this end, a number of specialized military academies have gradually been established, including the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy, the Armored Forces Academy, the Artillery Academy, the Political Academy, and so on.
The Institute of Political Science is run under the leadership of the General Political Department and trains a large number of political cadres in the military. The president is Luo Ronghuan, director of the General Political Department, and the first vice president is Xiao Hua, deputy director of the General Political Department. Luo Shuai recruited Mo Wenhua among the corps-level generals to serve as the deputy dean to preside over the daily work of the Political Science Academy.
At that time, Luo Shuai served as director of the General Political Department, chief procurator of the Supreme Procuratorate, director of the General Cadre Department, and dean of the School of Political Science. He has a lot of work, and in some of the work, he can only grasp the general, and the specific work is the responsibility of the deputy. For example, the work of the general cadre was entrusted to Song Renqiong, and the work of the General Political Department was entrusted to Tan Zheng.
Xiao Hua has been assisting Luo Shuai in his work for a long time, and because Luo Shuai is not in good health, his superiors specially transferred him from the Air Force to the General Political Department to assist Luo Shuai in his work.
When the School of Political Science was established, although he served as the first vice president, he was more of a name, and Mo Wenhua was in charge of his daily work.
The School of Political Science was founded and developed under the changing conditions of political turmoil, and every time a movement comes, the teaching of the college is impacted, and the leadership of the college is inevitably swept into the vortex.
In 1958, the army's anti-dogma was launched, and the Political Academy was also the focus, and working groups were stationed at the academy to carry out the struggle. The leadership of the college checked the shortcomings and mistakes in the work, and the working group was here for more than two months, and finally found no problems. Karen Mok changed from an object of criticism to an object of support.
Xiao Hua does not work at the academy, and he was somewhat shocked, who let him also be the first vice president. Later, he proposed to no longer serve as vice president concurrently, feeling that if there was a problem with the General Political Department, he was responsible, and if there was a problem with the School of Political Science, he was also responsible, next to one end, not to two.
Later, due to physical reasons, Luo Shuai resigned as director of the General Political Department, director of the General Cadres Department, and dean of the Political Science College. The two leaders did not participate in the work of the Political Science Academy, and Mo Wenhua also felt that it was difficult to support the situation on his own, and proposed: You don't do it, I don't do it, go to the army.
They did not adopt Mo Wenhua's words, and finally resigned from the leadership position of the academy.
In 1961, Mo Wenhua served as the dean, a lot of work, and as always, he reported to Luo Shuai, although Luo Shuai did not specifically participate in the work, but he was also in charge of the army's political work.
Xiao Hua became deputy secretary general of the Central Military Commission since 1959, assisting Luo Ruiqing in the daily work of the army. After 1963, he succeeded as head of the General Political Department.
