"Song Gong has been engaged in it for decades, ups and downs, but it has never been overthrown, it is not simple."
Who does "Ode to justice" refer to? He is our protagonist today, the former governor of Hunan Province, General Cheng Qian, and this sentence is actually said by the great leader Chairman Mao, I believe that everyone should still have some impression of General Cheng Qian, he also made great contributions to China's liberation war.
Cheng Qian and Chairman Mao are both Hunan people, but Cheng Qian was born in Lianchong Village, the mayor of Beixiang Township, Liling County, and also passed the Xiucai examination at the end of the late Qing Dynasty, and once studied at the Yuelu Academy in Changsha, but Cheng Qian was not a dead reader, on the contrary, he was extremely fond of pursuing new things, and later he went to Japan to study, and during his study abroad, he met many revolutionaries, such as the modern and famous Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing, etc., and under their influence, Cheng Qian began to greatly agree with the idea of democratic revolution. In this way, the later Cheng Qian also vowed to follow Dr. Sun Yat-sen to oppose imperialism and feudalism.
When Cheng Qian returned to China in 1908, he began to work in the army, and successively served as the staff officer of the seventeenth town of the new army, the staff officer of the seventeenth town of the new army army, etc. In addition, after the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Cheng Qian also made a lot of merits.
In the subsequent War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Cheng Qian was also worthy of being a qualified Chinese soldier, and led his troops to carry out many battles, such as the Battle of Lanfeng and other major battles, during the Liberation War, Cheng Qian once participated in the election of vice president, but failed, and then he surrendered to Li Zongren.
At the end of the Liberation War, Cheng Qian clearly saw the general situation in the world at that time, and he knew that the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek's government was inevitable, so he and Chen Mingren chose to send a peaceful telegram on August 1, 1949.
When Chiang Kai-shek learned the news, he was naturally extremely angry, and 3 days later the Kuomintang immediately announced the expulsion of Cheng Qian's party membership, but at this time, it seemed that there was no point in expelling him from the party at all.
After the founding of New China, Cheng Qian was also highly valued, successively serving as chairman of the Hunan Provincial People's Government, vice chairman of the National Defense Commission, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and governor of Hunan Province.
On April 9, 1968, Cheng Qianyu, the former governor of Hunan Province, died in Beijing at the age of 87.
