Friends who know modern history must know General Zuo Quan, he is a famous proletarian revolutionary and military scientist. However, compared to the left-right general, his daughter seems to be less known. In fact, the daughter of General Zuo Quan has been serving the country with her own teachings all her life, and after her death, three prime ministers sent wreaths to her, and many politicians personally attended to mourn. So what is the legend of Zuo Taibei's life? And what did she do to enjoy such glory after death?
In 1940, General Zuo Quan's wife Liu Zhilan gave birth safely and gave birth to a Qianjin, named Zuo Taibei. The safety of the mother and daughter could not have been happier, but at that time, the big war was imminent, the front line was not safe, and in order to protect his wife and daughter, General Zuo Quan had to arrange for them to go to Yan'an. For the next two years, General Zuo Quan never saw Liu Zhilan and his daughter again, and could only write letters from time to time to express his thoughts, hoping that one day the war would end, peace would come, and the family would be reunited.
But it is a pity that General Zuo Quan did not see the day when the war ended, in 1942, General Zuo was unfortunately killed by a stray bullet in a battle covering the retreat of the headquarters at the age of 37. And the enemy actually photographed the body of General Zuo Quan and put it on the newspaper as his achievements to show off, and Liu Zhilan, who was far away in Yan'an, also learned of her husband's death. At that time, she did not expect that the yin and yang were separated, Liu Zhilan was full of grief, but her infant daughter was still waiting to be fed, and she had to cheer up and work hard to earn money to support her family. But in this way, she could not take good care of her daughter, but fortunately, with the help of Peng Dehuai's family at that time, Liu Zhilan was able to survive that difficult time.
Later, when Zuo Taibei grew up, she was sent to live in a nursery in Yan'an with other children, where she was fortunate to meet Grandpa Mao. Grandpa Mao cared about the growth of these soldiers' descendants, especially orphans such as Zuo Taibei, and advised the staff of the nursery to take good care of Zuo Taibei. After entering middle school, because his mother was too busy with work, Zuo Taibei was entrusted to Mr. Peng's family. However, such a difficult environment has tempered her character. Zuo Taibei has set his dream of serving the motherland since he was a child, and has always hoped to go to Harbin Institute of Technology for further study. Originally, it was not a problem to go to Harbin Institute of Technology according to Zuo Taibei's results, but I didn't expect to lose the election in the end.
Mr. Peng was also a little surprised when he heard this, so he personally called Harbin Institute of Technology, and after inquiring, he learned that Zuo Taibei had a second uncle who defected to the Kuomintang in the early years, so Harbin Institute of Technology was worried that Zuo Taibei's political background would be problematic, so he was not admitted. But Zuo Taibei's father was a general Zuo Quan who gave his life for the country, how could she have problems with her political stance. Mr. Peng personally found Chen Geng, the president of Harbin Institute of Technology, explained the matter clearly, and after checking the information of Zuo Taibei, he finally admitted her.
In the left Taibei of Harbin Institute of Technology, he not only learned knowledge, but also met his partner Sha Zhiqiang. The two fell in love at first sight, their ideal lives were very compatible, and they quickly established a romantic relationship. After graduation, due to work reasons, Zuo Taibei and Sha Zhiqiang were assigned to work in different places, but the distance made the relationship between the two deeper, and even took leave to complete the wedding. Although the ceremony was very simple, both husband and wife felt very happy.
After getting married, they returned to their jobs and were then transferred to the countryside due to an accident. This made Zuo Taibei, who had always had great ambitions, very depressed, both full of willingness and nowhere to exert it, and worried about whether Mr. Peng, who was punished, was healthy, so every day was very tormenting, and only her husband's letters could give her some comfort. Soon after, Mr. Peng died of illness, Zuo Taibei could not even see him for the last time, she cried after getting the news, but after crying, she had to cheer up, she knew that her father in the past and now Mr. Peng are all people who have served the country and the people all their lives, she should inherit their will and fight for the motherland and the people, even in the countryside, she cannot beat herself up.
However, Zuo Taibei's life was not so silent, and at the age of 32, her superiors arranged for her to work with her husband at the Shijiazhuang Military Industry Research Institute, and the couple could finally be reunited and end their previous separated life. Although they were living in poverty at the time, they did not even have housing, and they had to rent a house, but after several years of separation, the reunion is now the most precious. Later, Zuo Taibei and her husband had a certain amount of savings, but they still decided to donate the money to public welfare and help the poor people.
In June 2019, Zuo Taibei died at the age of 79. When the news of her death came, the three prime ministers all sent wreaths, and at her funeral, many politicians also participated, and Zuo Taibei's contributions in his life were vividly reflected in this funeral.
Looking back on Zuo Taibei's life, she lost her father at an early age, her mother was rarely able to accompany her because of her busyness, and she experienced many twists and turns when she grew up, but she never gave up for a moment her ideal of fighting for the people, she worked hard for the cause of the motherland all her life, she is not only a martyr orphan, but also a person worthy of our admiration.
