There are many high-ranking generals in our army who come from landlord families, and one of them has a more prominent origin, his father is the richest man in Youxian County, Hunan Province, and this person is Cai Huiwen.
Although Cai Huiwen has been a good food since he was a child, he is very sympathetic to the poor people, so he did a big thing when he was 18 years old, that is, to lead poor peasants into his home and empty his family's grain depot.
Because Cai Huiwen was wanted by the local government, although his parents were angry, they still made a good relationship, as long as Cai Huiwen went to turn himself in, he would be safe and sound. But at this time, Cai Huiwen's yearning for revolution was already very firm, and he was determined to make the poor people in the world turn over, so he kowtowed to his parents and ran away from home.
After joining the Red Army, Cai Huiwen quickly became a senior general because of his culture, and became the political commissar of the Three Red Armies. At that time, the leadership of the Red Army were all big figures, the commander was Huang Gongluo, one of the "Three Generals of Jinggangshan", the chief of staff was the founding general Chen Qihan, the director of the Political Department was Mao Zeqin, and in addition, Cai Huiwen's men also had four founding generals, namely Guo Tianmin, Chen Bojun, Li Tao, and Li Jukui. You know, at this time, Cai Huiwen was only 22 years old.
Unfortunately, Cai Huiwen's talent was targeted by the ultra-leftist Liu Shijie, who wanted Cai Huiwen to do things for himself and squeeze out Wang Shoudao, then secretary of the Xianggan Provincial Party Committee, for which he did not hesitate to detain Cai Huiwen's mother and force Cai Huiwen to obey. But Cai Mu was a fierce person, and in order not to drag her son down, she directly chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river. After hearing this, Cai Huiwen fell to his knees and wept bitterly, vowing to fight for the poor to the death and give back to his mother's nurturing grace.
After the Long March, the main force of the Red Army, Cai Huiwen chose to stay and carry out guerrilla warfare in the south with Chen Yi and Xiang Ying. The degree of hardship of guerrilla warfare in the south need not be repeated, and what is even more serious is that many people cannot resist the temptation of the Kuomintang and betray the ranks. To this end, Cai Huiwen often calmed the emotions of the soldiers, and used his personal experience of giving up glory and wealth to inspire everyone to strengthen the revolution and lay a foundation for the poor people.
What is even more rare is that Cai Huiwen not only said in words, but also left good things to the warriors, ate the worst food and wore the worst clothes, so that everyone was convinced.
Unfortunately, in 1936, Cai Huiwen was betrayed by Chen Junliang, a traitor, who secretly led the Kuomintang troops up the mountain, which eventually led to Cai Huiwen being seriously injured and captured. What is even more infuriating is that Chen Junliang originally wanted to send Cai Huiwen to ask for credit, but Cai Huiwen's awe-inspiring rebuke of Chen Junliang's shameless behavior made Chen Junliang angry and ashamed, and finally killed Cai Huiwen cruelly. At this time, Cai Huiwen was only 28 years old.
