Xinxian is a county under the jurisdiction of Xinyang City, Henan Province, and is an urban area full of heroic stories. Before the founding of New China, 55,000 people died in the war in this small county, and there were martyrs in almost every village and Red Army in every household. And General Li Desheng was born in this place. In 1916, Li Desheng was born, his parents were ordinary farmers, and his life was difficult. He learned to work from an early age, and in order to ease the burden on his family, he went to help the villagers herd cattle and earn money shortly after he turned seven. At first, his mother disagreed, because herding cattle was hard work, and the weather in the wild was changeable, and Li Desheng was young, and she could not bear to let him bear it. But Li Desheng persevered and eventually gained the support of his family.
In 1916, Li Desheng's father sent him to school, but due to his family's financial difficulties, he had to give up his studies after only half a year. But Li Desheng was not discouraged, he knew that he could only change the fate of himself and his family through learning. In his long-term military career, Li Desheng has always maintained the habit of learning and enriched his knowledge.
In 1930, Li Desheng joined the Red Army and began his military career. During many years of fighting, he showed outstanding military talent and was appreciated by his superiors. In the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Li Desheng bravely killed the enemy and made indelible contributions.
In 1969, Li Desheng was elected as an alternate member of the Politburo and became a member of the Central Leadership. In the years that followed, he continued to fight for the construction of the motherland and the well-being of the people. He served as the director of the Anhui Provincial Revolutionary Committee, actively promoting local economic development and social stability.
In Li Desheng's view, talent is an important factor in promoting social progress and development. Therefore, after returning to his hometown, he decided to establish two schools to provide better educational opportunities for the children in the village. He knew that only through education could the fate of his fellow villagers change.
In 1993, Li Desheng returned to his hometown Xinxian again and was very pleased to see the achievements of school construction. He deeply sighed that the new county was his roots, and no matter where he went, he could never forget his hometown. The villagers were full of gratitude to Li Desheng, and they affectionately called him a benefactor.
Li Desheng adhered to his original intention throughout his life, was loyal to the motherland, and made important contributions to the people. He showed excellent military talent in battle, and worked hard to serve the people in his ruling position. He never forgets his original intention, always pays attention to the well-being of the villagers, and is committed to promoting the development of education.
General Li Desheng's life was full of hard work and sweat, and full of dedication and love. He is a great man who deserves our learning and respect, and his story will inspire us to strive for the prosperity of our country and the happiness of our people. With respect for General Li Desheng, let us work hard together and contribute our strength to the future of the motherland!
