Once, a young man named Qin Jiwei came from a poor peasant family, and his fate was not destined to be easy at first. However, it was this journey full of ups and downs and difficulties that forged his tenacity and unwavering faith.
Qin Jiwei, born in 1914, in a barren land in Huang'an, Hubei Province. His family lived in poverty, often without a meal when he was full. Despite this, Qin Jiwei's parents have high hopes that he can change the family's poor fate for generations. They saved money and did their best to provide for his private education.
However, Qin Jiwei was not interested in private education. He is a playful child who prefers to go out with his friends rather than sit at his desk and study hard. In addition, his private school teacher can only teach the classics rigidly, and does not know how to educate and stimulate the interest of students. Therefore, Qin Jiwei often skips class and sneaks out to play with friends.
This attitude of not studying hard led to Qin Jiwei's poor grades and eventually forced to drop out of school. However, instead of feeling lost, he was excited about it. Dropping out of school means that he no longer has to endure the teacher's teaching and scolding, and can play freely. However, he later felt deep remorse and realized the plight of being uncultured.
Although he no longer goes to school, the burden of life still falls on Qin Jiwei's shoulders. Because of his family's poverty, he had to do various odd jobs to make ends meet and share the household chores with all his might. Soon after, however, a plague struck his village, resulting in the death of his parents. Qin Jiwei understood that this plague was actually a "poor disease" that could be cured with money, but his family did not have enough money to see a doctor, and his parents could only wait for death.
Over time, Qin Jiwei's brother died, and his sister married away, leaving him alone. However, it was these unfortunate experiences that tempered his will, made him strong, and gained a deeper understanding of the injustice and darkness of society. He was no longer that playful child. In order to survive, Qin Jiwei, who was only a teenager, engaged in a variety of jobs, such as digging wild vegetables, chopping firewood, herding cattle, and doing odd jobs.
In this process, Qin Jiwei developed a character of jealousy, courage and perseverance. He will not tolerate the oppression of the people by the rich and often tease them in various ways. His goals became even more ambitious, and he vowed to change the injustices of this society and make the landlords and bullies punish them as they deserved.
With the rise of the National Revolution, Qin Jiwei's thinking gradually progressed. He joined the Children's Corps and then the Young Pioneers. In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a counter-revolutionary coup d'état, and the national revolution was in trouble, but Qin Jiwei resolutely joined the local volunteer corps to fight against the reactionaries. In November, Qin Jiwei participated in the Jute Uprising, which dealt a serious blow to the local reactionary forces. Despite being only 13 years old at the time, he was already involved in the battle, and the villagers praised him as the "red boy".
In 1929, the Red Army passed through the area around Huang'an. Previously, Qin Jiwei always thought that he could do something for his hometown and help improve the lives of his fellow villagers. However, under the influence of the Red Army, he began to realize that China's problem was a whole problem, and that reactionaries everywhere colluded with each other. If it is only to liberate Huang'an, sooner or later the enemy will return, and only by overthrowing the reactionaries and allowing the revolutionary wave to sweep the whole country can the fruits of victory be preserved. Qin Jiwei decided to join the Red Army and left his hometown for many years.
When he joined the Red Army, Qin Jiwei was only 15 years old, many people were still in middle school at this age, and he had already made several trips on the battlefield. Due to Qin Jiwei's brave fighting and progressive ideas, he became a party member in the second year of joining the Red Army and was soon promoted to company commander. However, Qin Jiwei did not become complacent, and he continued to lead the way, charging ahead, and making many contributions to the Red Army.
1932
Qin Jiwei was only 18 years old, but he was already a model officer and veteran in the ranks. This year, the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" struggle broke out, and Qin Jiwei once again showed excellent leadership skills. In the battle of the steep slope mountain, he took the lead and attacked the enemy army from the flank, eventually annihilating a regiment of the enemy. However, during the battle, Qin Jiwei was unfortunately shot and forced to stay in bed to recuperate.
Despite the victory in the battle on the steep slope hill, the overall situation was not optimistic. The Kuomintang army had a double advantage in numbers and equipment, while Qin Jiwei's unit was under the leadership of Zhang Guotao. Zhang Guotao's command errors led to the Red Army eventually retreating westward. Because of the large number of wounded, the troops could not take them with them to retreat, so they hid them in villagers' homes and waited for their injuries to recover before rejoining the ranks.
However, Qin Jiwei quietly left the villagers' homes and continued his march with the troops. The leader of the unit was very surprised by this and asked why he didn't stay to recuperate, and Qin Jiwei replied firmly: "My arm is injured, but my two legs are fine, and I will never leave the Red Army!" The reason why Qin Jiwei insisted so much was because he had long regarded the Red Army as his home. He experienced the loss of his family when he was young, and now he never wants to be separated from his "new home" again.
Eventually, at Qin Jiwei's insistence, the troop leaders agreed to allow him to continue the march. Although he was unable to move due to his wounds, the unit leadership offered to carry him on a stretcher or provide a donkey for him to ride. However, Qin Jiwei resolutely refused these arrangements, saying that his injuries were unharmed and he could march like other soldiers: "I neither sit on a stretcher nor ride an animal, even if I want to climb the mountain, I will cross the Qin Mountains!" ”
In the end, Qin Jiwei really insisted on crossing the Qinling Mountains on foot under the condition of injury, and later crossed the Daba Mountain and came to Hongjiang County, Sichuan. Soon after, Qin Jiwei was promoted to the commander of the guard regiment at the age of 19. He rode and galloped, carrying a large knife tied with red silk, majestic. Qin Jiwei recalled this time: "At that time, I was much more majestic than I later became a military commander, commander, and defense minister. ”
However, it was during this period that Qin Jiwei realized that he could no longer keep up with the times. The troops were equipped with telephones, and Qin Jiwei was surprised when he saw this equipment for the first time. When he picked up the earpiece and heard the sound coming from inside, he was almost startled. The soldier told him that it was Minister Cheng Yizhai who was talking and conveying the task. Qin Jiwei was half-convinced, and after hanging up the phone, he ran directly to Zheng Yizhai to inquire about the mission. Zheng Yizhai felt very strange: "Didn't I tell you on the phone?" Qin Jiwei's face was full of disbelief: "I can't trust that iron pimple!" It turned out that he suspected that the order coming from the phone was not the real order, so he came directly to Zheng Yizhai to confirm the situation. Zheng Yizhai cried and laughed, telling him that it was much more convenient to transmit orders by phone, and encouraged him to be familiar with the telephone and get used to communicating by telephone.
Qin Jiwei was deeply shocked, and then rekindled his curiosity about new things. He accidentally got a camera, studied photography and developed a hobby of photography. Later, when he was the commander of the column, he became very interested in cars. After becoming a military commander, he studied radio technology and his life became more colorful. Even in old age, he still actively explores new things and constantly expands his hobbies, which can be said to carry out "love of fun" to the extreme.
However, Qin Jiwei is not only a fun-loving person, his job is also the field of his unremitting efforts. After the failure of the fifth counter-"encirclement and suppression", he participated in the Long March and the Western Route Army, and served as the director of the fourth bureau of the Western Route Army headquarters. In the difficult retreat of the Western Route Army, he assisted Zheng Yizhai, the head of the General Logistics Department, to hold his position, and finally successfully broke through the siege and returned to Yan'an.
