In a poor family in Jinzhai, Anhui, Zhang Xianyao is the son of a family of five. The family has only one acre of land and is barely making ends meet. In order to earn more money to support the family, his father rented some land. However, life is still difficult. At that time, the children all went to school, and Zhang Xianyo also asked for school with a thirst for knowledge. After consultation with his family, he finally got the opportunity. Zhang Xianyo cherished this opportunity to go to school, studied hard, and his grades were also very good.
However, misfortune befell his home one after another. Just a year later, his mother died of illness, making the family even worse. The burden on the family is even heavier. Unable to bear the pressure of his family, Zhang Xianyao was forced to drop out of school and began a difficult life as a shepherd child. Every day he left early and returned late, living in the cowshed, eating leftovers. He was over 9 years old, the age of growing health, but life in the landlord's house did not satisfy his hunger. When summer came, wild fruits from the mountains became his food source. Due to the long period of not eating meat, his body was thin and pale.
One morning, when Zhang Xianyo was leading his cattle past the fish pond of the landlord's house, he saw the fish jumping in the water, which aroused his appetite. His stomach growled, and he had the idea of catching fish. But he knew that he couldn't catch a fish with his hands alone. So he found some rattan on the side of the road, woven it into a basket-like tool, spread it with grass at the bottom of the basket, and then put the basket into the fish pond. Wearing shorts and holding branches, he constantly catches fish in the water. Frightened fish scurrying around, some jumping out of the water and falling into baskets. Soon, Zhang Xianyo successfully caught three fish, then wrung out his clothes, carried the fish in the basket, and walked back to the mountain. On the way, he couldn't help but say: "If only the poor people could have fish to eat." ”
This scene happened to be witnessed by a wandering acolyte, who couldn't help but sigh: "This son will have great achievements in the future." "So why did this acolyte say that? It turned out that he saw three differences from Zhang Xianyue. First of all, Zhang Xianyo is full of courage, and at a young age, he dares to go down to the fish pond to fish, which requires considerable courage. Secondly, he showed excellent intelligence, fishing through homemade tools, showing that he had a certain stratagem and creativity. Above all, his ambition transcends personal interests, and he thinks about the situation of the poor, which is a noble aspiration. Boldness, strategy, and ambition led the acolytes to assert that Zhang Xianyo would achieve extraordinary things.
In 1930, at the age of 18, Zhang Xianyao joined the Red Army and began his military career. In the Hubei-Yu-Anhui Revolutionary Base Area and the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet District, he participated in many battles, made repeated combat merits, and was promoted to the commander of the 12th Division of the 4th Red Army. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he joined the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and served as the commander of the teaching regiment. During the Liberation War, he served as the deputy commander of the 6th Column of the Northwest Field Army, leading his troops to fight fiercely against the enemy in the northwest, and won many victories. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Xianyo served in the Northwest Military Region and the General Logistics Department, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.
Zhang Xianyao's life was full of ups and downs, but his boldness, wisdom and ambition shaped his extraordinary life. During his military career, he forged ahead many times, achieved outstanding achievements, and made outstanding contributions to the cause of liberation of the country and the people. His story teaches us that perseverance and the pursuit of ambition can overcome all obstacles and achieve great dreams.
