——Remembering the old chief Xu Chunyang
Text / Fu Jinbao
▲ Xu Chunyang, born in January 1925, a native of Yunan Village, Dadonggou Town, Zezhou County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, entered the First Branch of the Anti-Japanese War in 1938, volunteered to participate in the first line of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression after graduation, and successively served as a youth officer of the 1st General Corps of the Sixth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, the Xiaoxian Independent Regiment, the 31st Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army, the young officer of the 32nd Regiment, the general secretary of the Cavalry Regiment of the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army, a political instructor, and an instructor of the 3rd Battalion of the 73rd Regiment of the Ninth Column of the Central China Field Army during the Liberation War. Instructor of the 3rd Battalion of the 13th Regiment of the 5th Division of the 2nd Column of Huaye, and director of the Political Office of the 184th Regiment of the 62nd Division of the 21st Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as the deputy regimental commander of the 189th Regiment, the regimental commander, and led the troops to resist US aggression and aid Korea in the post of regimental commander, and served as the commander of the 189th Regiment of the 63rd Division of the 21st Army of the Chinese Volunteer Army, the deputy commander of the 63rd Division, the director of the Training Department of the 21st Army and the deputy chief of staff of the army, and graduated from the basic department of the Higher Military Academy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 1963. Later, he served as the commander of the 61st Division, the deputy commander of the 19th Army, the political commissar of the 21st Army, the political commissar of the 26th Army, and the full-time secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Jinan Military Region. He was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General in 1988. He has been awarded the Meritorious Service Award of the Red Star of the Second Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the Third Class, and the Order of Liberation of the Third Class. He retired in 1990.
It has been nearly a year since Chief Xu Chunyang left us, and I have not been able to get out of my grief, and I always want to write something to mourn and remember this old chief whom I respect.
Xu Chunyang was twice the director of the 21st Army Training Department before his death, and when he was dying, he proposed that the Training Department write a book, which the editorial board named "The Year". Pei Huailiang, a veteran military commander, said emotionally when reviewing the first draft of "That Year": "Xu Chunyang is a good leader in our army who is both literate and martial, and he has twice served as the head of the training department. "The editorial board considered that when he was the commander of the 61st Division, I was a staff officer in the division, so they arranged for me to write. What to write? There are countless touching things about his literary tao and martial arts, high wind and bright festival, where should I write? How can you say it all?
He joined the revolution in January 1937, joined the Eighth Route Army in 1938, joined the Communist Party of China in 1939, and died in 2014. He left his post and was former director of the Political Department of the Jinan Military Region and full-time secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Jinan Military Region. He has served as a deputy to the Sixth National People's Congress and a member of the Seventh and Eighth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
In 1990, at the congress announcing his order to leave his post and recuperate as a Red Army, he made an impromptu speech: "Whoever has made a contribution is worthy of pride, but the commanders of the army have no reason to be proud, because their deeds are forged with the lives and blood of comrades-in-arms, comrades, and sons and daughters of the people." One will be a thousand bones! He added: "I have been wounded four times in my life and have been critically ill three times, and each time it was my comrades-in-arms and the masses of the people who pulled me back from the line of death under extremely dangerous and difficult circumstances." Without the education of the party, the help of comrades-in-arms, and the nurturing of the people, there would be no Xu Chunyang. My skills were given by the Party, and my exploits in battle were forged by the blood of my comrades-in-arms, and I have no reason to be proud. Today I am going to retire, and as an old party member and veteran soldier, I will continue to fight for the party's cause all my life! He had been awarded the Red Star Medal of Honor of the Second Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom of the Third Degree, and the Order of Liberation of the Third Class, and he had a broad mind of meritorious service and greatness; his unremitting struggle for life was unceasing, touching everyone present, and as soon as the words fell, there was endless applause in the venue.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="107" >, do not kill all Japanese devils, vow not to be human</h1>
In March 1938, Xu Chunyang was 13 years old. Rikou attacked from Yangcheng to Jincheng, killing and looting along the way, killing and looting without evil, and slaughtered more than 200 villagers in Xu Chunyang's hometown of Yunan Village alone. He cleverly threw himself into hiding, covering the body of his companion with his body, so that he could easily survive until dark. He wiped the blood from his body and swore with full of grief and hatred: "In this life, I will follow the Communist Party, I will not kill all the Japanese devils, I will not take revenge on snow and hatred, and I will not be a man!" In October of the same year, he joined the Eighth Route Army.
In February 1939, after being introduced by the guerrilla detachment of the Jinyu Border Region, he entered the first branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to study. On October 3 of the same year, 14-year-old Xu Chunyang joined the Communist Party of China. In November, after graduating from the first branch of the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Chunyang, who was not yet a gun high, insisted on joining the front line of the War of Resistance. He set out from southeastern Jin with his troops, crossed the anti-Japanese battlefield behind enemy lines in north China, and rushed to the Yuwan-Suzhou Border Region to become a glorious little red devil. He successively served as the first regiment of the sixth detachment of the New Fourth Army, the Xiaoxian Independent Regiment, the thirteenth regiment of the fifth brigade of the second division, the youth officer of the cavalry regiment of the fourth division, the secretary of the branch of the fifth cavalry brigade, and the political instructor of the first brigade. He has participated in dozens of battles such as the "April 1st" battle that crushed the Japanese army to sweep away Mount Mangzhong, the "June 1st" battle in Xinxingji, and the attack on Wang Bailou and Xuejiahu.
Shortly after joining the New Fourth Army, Xu Chunyang was critically ill three times in eight months from the beginning of March to the end of October 1940, and each time he almost died. After recovering, the leaders saw that he was very weak, so they persuaded him to go to the rear to study medicine or go to the rear hospital to do political work, but he said that he would do nothing, saying: "I joined the army to avenge the killing of devils, and I want to go to the rear, how can I take revenge?" How can you be worthy of the father and fellow countrymen who died tragically under the butcher's knife of the devil? I'm going to die, and I'm going to die on the battlefield!" Please believe that as long as I strengthen my exercise, my body will be able to get stronger quickly. His sincerity and determination deeply touched the leadership, and finally approved him to stay in the combat unit to continue fighting.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="109" > two and five-star red flags have his blood on them</h1>
During the Liberation War, he successively served as a political instructor of the third battalion of the 73rd Regiment of the Ninth Column of the East China Field Army, an instructor of the first battalion of the Fourteenth Regiment of the 2nd Column and 5th Division, a battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Column New Corps, and the director of the Political Office of the 185th Regiment of the 62nd Division of the 21st Army of the Third Field Army. He participated in the battles of Chaoyang Ji, Baolianghuai, Qiaohao, Laiwu, Menglianggu, Nanma, Linqu, Jiaohe, Zhucheng, Laiyang, Yilin, Zhongxing, Huaihai, River Crossing, Liberation of Hangzhou, March into Eastern Zhejiang, and Northern Fujian. During the bloody war years, he was wounded four times and was critically ill three times, and each time it was his comrades-in-arms and the people stationed in the garrison who pulled him back from the death line. He said: "I am a survivor who has experienced war, and today I am not myself. "General Xu has experienced hundreds of battles, and he is a warrior who rushed out of the rain of bullets and bullets. When he was a battalion instructor, he witnessed three battalion-level cadres die in front of his eyes and countless soldiers fall in front of him, and he survived all three times.
The first time was on July 20, 1947, in the Yimeng Mountains, Nanma WujiaGuanzhuang and the enemy fiercely fought, Xu Chunyang, who was then the battalion instructor, was injured by a shell, the right side of his head was bleeding, and three soldiers fell around him!
The second time was in October 1947, during the battle to liberate Zhucheng, he and the battalion commander were inspecting the enemy's situation, when an enemy bomb exploded next to him. Shock waves knocked him and the battalion commander unconscious, covered in blood, and when he woke up, he wrapped his bandages around him and continued fighting.
The third time was on September 3, 1948, when he led the 14th Regiment of the 2nd Column 5th Division as an avant-garde mission, and encountered a unit of the Nationalist reorganized 64th Division at Xiaoyaotou, Xinyi County, northern Jiangsu Province. After a day of fierce fighting, a famous vicious battle in the history of the Huaye Ii Column War was fought, the Battle of Xiaoyaotou. Except for a few comrades who ventured to break through, more than 30 critically wounded were transported to Xuzhou by the enemy, and several soldiers were captured in a fight with the enemy, the remaining 260 outstanding commanders and fighters all died heroically. When he organized the last breakout of the "Little Devil Class", unfortunately, he was injured by the enemy's grenade on the right side of his head and right wrist, he endured severe pain, hung the broken right wrist on the grenade bag, and clasped the shell gun with his left hand, leading 9 fighters with extraordinary perseverance, braving the enemy's roaring bullets and flamethrowers to rush out of the siege. After the fierce battle, more than 260 young bodies lay forever on the hill of the small kiln head. After the publication of General Xu's memoirs "Years of Blood and Fire", he also made a special trip back to Xiaoyaotou to pay tribute to these comrades-in-arms who sacrificed their precious lives for the cause of the liberation of the motherland. Whenever he recalled that vicious battle, he always said with a particularly heavy heart: "I have never talked about superstition, but there are more than two hundred outstanding sons and daughters of the Chinese nation buried there!" The old society was overthrown and new China was founded, and now people know the founding fathers, old marshals, and veteran generals, but there are thousands of ordinary soldiers who have been buried underground for a long time, and there are a few people who know! ”

He began by doing political work, and during the war years he was always a company political instructor, a battalion political instructor, and later the director of the regimental political office, and after the founding of the Country, he became a military commander. After graduating from the basic department of the Higher Military Academy of the People's Liberation Army of Chinese in 1963, he served as the commander of the 61st Division and the deputy commander of the 19th Army, and at the end of 1976, he served as the political commissar of the 21st Army, and then transferred to the political commissar of the 26th Army, and became the chief political officer. Later, he served as director of the Political Department of the Jinan Military Region and secretary of the full-time Discipline Inspection Commission, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general and became a senior general in our army. For decades, he has made remarkable achievements in the two different fields of military work and political work. All those who have worked with Xu Chunyang, whether leaders or subordinates, have praised him as a military and political all-rounder who can write and fight.
When new China was founded in 1949, Xu Chunyang, who was only 24 years old, served as the director of the political office of the 185th Infantry Regiment. Later, he served as the deputy commander and regimental commander of the 189th Regiment. In 1952, he led the 189th Regiment to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and served as regimental commander, chief of the military operations department, deputy division commander, and deputy chief of staff of the army in the 21st Army of the Chinese Volunteer Army. He took part in the Summer Offensive of 1953 and other campaigns. After the Korean Armistice, it successively undertook defensive tasks in the direction of Wendeng-ri on the korean central line, in the direction of Wonsan on the east coast, and in the direction of Sucheon on the west coast. Participated in the organization of the 20 corps West Coast Anti-Landing Campaign exercise. In 1963 he was appointed commander of the Army's 61st Division, which was the only division in the 21st Army and one of the few divisions in the Beijing Military Region. In November 1969, he was ordered to transfer to the 19th Army as a deputy commander. The reorganization of the 19th Army is an important aspect of the strategic deployment of the headquarters in the Hexi Corridor. He was in charge of the operations and training of the 19th Army. The various units traveled a long distance, came from all directions, tens of thousands of people and horses suddenly gathered, the new environment, special mission tasks, and thousands of busy tasks, so that Xu Chunyang's multifaceted talent has been fully displayed. I am proud that from the 1960s to the 1980s, I had the privilege of serving under him for eight years, witnessing his superb conducting skills, feeling his noble personality, and listening to his fatherly teachings. He, the son of Gao Fengmu, the descendant of Liang Jie, is my mentor and lifelong model.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="111" >4</h1>
Why did his troops win the battle? This is inseparable from his vigorous efforts to grasp the political and ideological construction of the troops. He is well aware that political work is the lifeline of army building and the most valuable factor among all the factors that generate combat effectiveness. He often told us, "Not understanding the military is not a good political cadre, and military cadres do not understand political work, are not good at boosting morale, and what other battles are they fighting?" "Every time he fights, he has achieved that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and politics has come first. Among them, the Phoenix Top Resistance Battle is a model of his use of politics to win more with less, and to defeat the strong with the weak. Fenghuangding is a commanding height 4 kilometers southeast of Laixi County (i.e. Shuigoutou) in Shandong Province. In November 1947, the 5th Division of our 2nd Column organized a defense in the east and west areas of Fenghuangding, and the 3rd Battalion of the 13th Regiment of the Division built defensive positions in the Fenghuangding area to block the enemy's reinforcements along the Jimo-Laixi Highway. At that time, Feng Fulin was the battalion commander and Xu Chunyang was the instructor.
In this blockade battle, I used one battalion to block the enemy's attack with five battalions supported by air, artillery, and tanks. Pre-war preparations, from entering the defensive position on the afternoon of the 7th to 7 o'clock in the morning of the 10th, only had more than two days, which was a hasty defense. As an instructor, he not only studied the defense plan with the battalion commander, but also seriously studied the implementation of ideological work. In order to achieve a steady, accurate, and ruthless annihilation of the enemy in this battle, he paid close attention to the ideological dynamics of the commanders and fighters and took precautions to do the political and ideological work in the forefront. Before the war, he conducted detailed anti-tank education for the troops; during the war, he gained insight into the ideological dynamics of the troops and did the ideological work of the commanders and fighters in a targeted manner. In order to avoid the idea of light enemy, he set a slogan for the troops, that is, "Fight the miscellaneous army as an ace army, and strive for the greatest victory at the lowest cost!" ”。 At nearly 7 o'clock in the morning of the 10th, the enemy attacked our Phoenix Top position with the strength of five battalions. In the face of an enemy several times larger than mine, our army adopts the method of avoiding the strong enemy and fighting and retreating, rotating to block the enemy, covering each other and moving, so as to achieve the purpose of forcing the enemy to unfold early, delay, and consume the enemy. The troops fought flexibly and proactively, and morale was very high. However, at 9 o'clock, after the battle officially began, he found that the commanders and fighters were overwhelmed by the victory, breeding the idea of a light enemy, and their attention was very unfocused. He looked in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, if he did not correct the battle in time, he might lose, and even if he won by chance, it would be a heavy price. After analyzing it, he judged that there were three root causes of the commanders and fighters' ideology of light enemy:
First, it is related to the general situation in the whole country that "I will win, and Chiang Kai-shek will lose.";
Second, it is related to the enthusiasm of the masses who came to the battlefield to offer condolences;
Third, it is related to the belief that the enemy in front of them is a Miscellaneous Kuomintang army.
Therefore, he organized a propaganda team to publicize the harm of the idea of light enemy and demanded that the troops shout: "Fight the miscellaneous army as an ace army, use the smallest substitute price, and strive for the greatest victory!" The slogan made the slogan deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the idea of light enemy was quickly contained, laying a solid ideological foundation for victory in battle. In order to secure the victory, he also made the following demands to the companies:
First, the anti-micro-du gradually niped the idea of light enemies in the bud, and commanders at all levels should correctly implement command;
Second, conscientiously organize concealment, rush to repair fortifications at any time, and reduce casualties;
Third, flexible firepower and mobility, timely organization of counterattacks, courage to fight bayonets, and elimination of the enemy who breaks in.
Fourth, in the course of fighting, political workers should assist commanders in doing in-depth and meticulous ideological work, and grass-roots political workers should take the lead and be active in the front line of combat, supervising and assisting the actions of lower-level commanders.
Because of his importance of ideological and political work and his proper methods and effective measures, when the battle lasted until 16:20, I damaged two enemy tanks with rocket launchers and explosive packs. The enemy found out that I had a bazooka and hurriedly ordered the tank team to retreat. "Fight hard!" Only to hear him roar, jump up, personally lead the 9th company to quickly penetrate to the right side of the 8th company position, under the cover of our army's firepower, from the flank of the front attack, the 7th company also with a platoon of troops, from the left wing. The enemy caught me off guard by surprise, retreated in a panic, and crawled with a rolling belt to escape. In summing up the campaign, the superior commanders spoke highly of the valuable experience gained in organizing and commanding the battle, especially in wartime political work. One of our infantry battalions resisted the combined infantry, artillery, tank, and air attack of five infantry battalions of the enemy, not only for the first time in the battalion, but also for the first time in the history of the second column. The 21st Army regarded it as a typical combat example, compiled it into the annals of history, and wrote it into teaching materials for the reference of military teaching of the troops.

He killed countless enemies on the battlefield without even blinking an eye. But he treats his comrades or subordinates with kindness. Whether it is with him or those he does not know, as long as there is a difficulty, he will lend a helping hand to help. During the Liberation War, just after the Battle of Jiaohe, his regiment was ordered to besiege the county seat of Anqiu. The regiment had just replenished a large number of prisoners, and in order to enforce strict discipline, before setting out, the regimental commander announced a discipline: "From now on, enter a new battle." Whoever dares to flee is to flee from the battlefield, and if he is discovered, he will be summarily executed. After a night of marching, when the troops settled down, they found that a liberation fighter had escaped, and then intercepted by the reconnaissance detachment, and the soldiers were indignant, and immediately tied up the deserters. When he was the instructor at the time, he saw the situation and immediately stopped it. He has done patient ideological work for the deserters, enlightened him to revolution in no particular order, and as long as he is seriously reformed and sincerely engages in revolution with the Communist Party, he is a good comrade. In order to protect the liberation fighter from harm, Xu Chunyang specially arranged for him to temporarily guard the machine gun company for a few days. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, he found the warrior hanging under a large locust tree, and he was very angry. The instructor of the machine gun company was immediately summoned, severely criticized, and took the initiative to take responsibility, and in the presence of all the commanders and fighters of the battalion, he made a serious review of the abuse of the liberation fighters by his subordinates.
At the end of 1968, Cheng Jiujiang, a secrecy officer of the "Zhizuo" of the Shaanxi Provincial Revolutionary Committee, was seconded from the 183rd Regiment of the 61st Division, and when he took the plane to Beijing to collect documents, he unfortunately died in a plane crash. When he found out, he asked me, "How is the martyr's family doing?" "I said that I was very reasonable, did not accept the 200 yuan pension on the organization, and only hoped that the troops would approve Cheng Jiujiang's brother and sister to join the army." Division Commander Xu Chunyang immediately expressed his position: "We must do our best to help solve the problems raised by the families of the martyrs. The boy immediately asked the Military Affairs Section to handle it, the girl and my division had no right to arrange, you let the Military Affairs Section immediately ask the Military Command. A few days later, the command agreed to enlist the martyr's sister. Three years later, the martyr's sister came to trust me to thank Master Xu Chunyang. I still remember a passage in the letter: "At that time, I never expected that a master I had never known could help me so much. When I was a soldier in the northeast, in order to repay the concern of the division commander, I studied hard and worked hard, so the organization guaranteed me to go to college. ”
In February 1969, my father was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University because of cancer. When he heard that the hospital would not perform surgery because of my father's complicated condition, he immediately called the director of the outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital. After the conversation, he said to me euphemistically: "This director turned out to be a doctor at our hospital, he will do it seriously, don't worry." But this disease is more troublesome, usually the situation is that money is spent, sin is suffered, and people are gone. Surgery is determined based on the condition. You, as a son, want to save your father through surgery, and I totally understand. But the hospital is more aware of your father's condition, and you must believe that the hospital has his way. Later, I went to Master Xu's house to deliver a telegram, and The teacher's lover, Aunt Wu, held me a stack of banknotes, and she said, "Your father is hospitalized, you take it and use it." "At that time, my monthly salary was 53 yuan, where have I ever seen so much money, let alone the money of the division commander's family, where do I dare to ask for it?" Between me and Aunt Wu's pushing and letting, the division commander spoke: "Xiao Fu, this money is for your father to see a doctor." Your little salary is not enough. You take this money first, and when you are discharged from the hospital, ask your aunt to help you check out. "I had no choice but to take it and use it." Later, I borrowed money from my comrades-in-arms several times to repay him, but he politely refused. "The pioneer soldier often gives love, and the reborn soul is not named" Yue Fei's two poems he did not know how many times he told us. He used to say, "To use a soldier, you must first love the soldier." Only if you love soldiers like children, soldiers are willing to listen to you and charge with you. As the saying goes, officers and soldiers are single-minded, and their profits are broken. "I think that the old chief has repeatedly overcome the enemy and turned danger into a disaster again and again, and loving soldiers like sons is one of his important ways to win."

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="113" >6, focusing on stability and unity</h1>
At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, the 61st Division went from Shanxi with the 21st Army to Xi'an to "branch the left". Under the extremely complicated situation, Commander Xu Chunyang had a clear head, a firm stand, a clear understanding of major issues of right and wrong, and a decisive handling of things, thus showing the political qualities and courage that a senior commander should have.
On September 2, 1968, the "9.2 Armed Struggle" that shocked Xi'an took place. The day before the fighting, division commander Xu Chunyang was on duty with me at the division headquarters. At the door of the duty room, you can see the cars running south and north on the street outside the Heping Gate, full of daredevils wearing steel helmets and holding sticks and forks, sometimes from north to south, sometimes from south to north, as if adjusting their deployment and preparing for armed combat. At 9 p.m., a regimental leader at Northwestern Polytechnical University called: "Please ask the division commander to speak." I immediately handed the microphone to Master Xu and began to record. Only to hear the regiment leader lower his voice and say, "Division commander, the leader of the rebels wants us to provide them with a few rifles, to be bold, to frighten and frighten the other side." I said there was a rule above that no weapons could be supplied to the localities. They all cried, saying that we shouted every day for the rebels, and now the royalists are taking guns against them, but we are indifferent! They are kneeling in front of me now, you see..." Before the leader of the regiment could finish speaking, Master Xu raised his voice by an octave and said sternly: "Every organization says that it is a rebel, and the other party is a royalist." No matter which faction it is, it is the masses of the people. I tell you, whether it is overt or dark, if you dare to lend out a robbery, I will remove you from your post! You immediately check the storage of your weapons and report to the division immediately. "The division commander put down the phone and asked me to immediately notify my unit and check the management of the weapons. It is clearly demanded that "from now on, we must make every effort to strengthen the vigilance of the arsenal, and cadres should take the post." On that day, if he had not been clear-minded, decisive, and effective, and allowed the guns to fall into society, there would have been a shooting incident, and the consequences were really unimaginable. Later, he said in a deep tone: "It is a matter of position to point the muzzle of the gun on." Especially for the masses of the people, guns should never be used, and stability and unity should be the most important. In the war years, our victories were rooted in the masses of the people; now that it is a time of peace, it is still the masses of the people who nurture us, and we must never forget that the masses of the people are our relatives, and as the people's children and soldiers, we have the responsibility to protect them. ”

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="114" >7, the People's Liberation Army Daily called him an "expert on integrity supervision."</h1>
During his tenure as a deputy to the Sixth National People's Congress and a member of the Seventh and Eighth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he has always paid close attention to the building of a clean and honest administration in the country and the army with a high sense of responsibility. His long-term involvement in the army's political work and discipline inspection work made him realize that an effective supervision mechanism must be established for the building of a clean and honest administration; for this reason, he went deep into factories, rural areas, and all sectors of society, traveled tens of thousands of kilometers, conducted a large number of investigations and studies, and accumulated data weighing about several kilograms. In 1990, he put forward the proposal "Legal Provisions on Recommending the Registration and Declaration of the Personal Property of Leading Cadres at and above the Township level in China as soon as possible", and in 1991 he put forward the proposal "Proposal to Implement a Recusal System for the Selection and Allocation of Cadres at and above the County and Regiment Level", both of which won the Outstanding Proposal Award of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and were valued and adopted by the relevant state departments. In February 1998, he put forward the "Suggestions on Strengthening Marine Management" at the Fifth Session of the Eighth CPPCC National Committee, which also won the Outstanding Proposal Award of the CPPCC National Committee. During his ten years as a member of the CPPCC National Committee, he alone or in cooperation with others has put forward 15 proposals, all of which have attracted the attention of relevant state departments. Step by step, he practiced his oath of joining the party and the solemn promise he made in his resignation speech with practical actions, and dedicated his life to the great cause of the party and the people.

There are dreams in the heart that are not tired, and the residual heat is radiant. After retiring, the old chief sent love poems, immersed himself in calligraphy and painting, and his works were exhibited and awarded many times, which was praised by colleagues in the industry; in his old age, he worked tirelessly and successively published four memoirs, "Years of Blood and Fire," "Dedication of Soldiers," "Extraordinary Times," and "Turning to the Great Northwest," thus making valuable contributions to carrying forward the glorious revolutionary traditions of our army and encouraging contemporary revolutionary soldiers to dedicate themselves to the cause of army and national defense modernization.
Today, when we remember the old chief, we must be like him, absolutely loyal to the party and selflessly dedicated to the people, integrate the beautiful dream of me into the dream of a great strong army, and use the dream of a great strong army to support the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
