On the bright screen, Ke Lan played the role of Lu Yi in the TV series "In the Name of the People", and he was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with his righteous image. But in the same way, in addition to her wonderful performance, the low-key and stable family background behind her is even more talked-about. Ke Lan has an unknown heroic lineage, her grandfather, a founding general, whose name is written in the glorious pages of Chinese history - he is Zhong Qiguang.
Zhong Qiguang, the inheritor of military glory and family glory, his story begins in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province in 1909. Born in an ordinary family, he enjoyed the opportunity to study and Xi that his parents valued very much, and his cultural level was among the best in the social background of the time, from private school to middle school. Despite his humble family, Chung showed great intelligence and love for his country from an early age.
In 1924, the young Chung threw himself into the flood of the Kuomintang, but failed to find a cure for the country, and he was disappointed by the corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang army. This confusion did not hinder his progress, and in 1926, Zhong Qiguang resolutely joined the ranks of the Red Army, and under the guidance of Peng Dehuai, he began a new journey.
In the smoke of the Pingjiang Uprising, Zhong Qiguang assisted in the establishment of the Red Fifth Army, and soon stood out in the army, serving as the secretary general of the Red Fifth Army at the age of 21. In the Battle of Changsha, he demonstrated outstanding military talent and firm revolutionary faith. In the haze of the failure of the Long March, as a tenacious revolutionary, he never gave up, rebuilt the Red 16th Army, and started a three-year arduous guerrilla war.
In the storm of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhong Qiguang was responsible for the ideological and political work of the soldiers with a polite, careful and considerate attitude. His words and deeds embodied the demeanor of a communist and made indelible contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. During the War of Liberation, he promoted the troops to carry out the merit campaign, which not only boosted morale, but also reflected his importance to the growth and honor of the soldiers.
In 1949, Zhong Qiguang, who had gone through all the vicissitudes of life, participated in the establishment of East China Military and Political University, and cultivated a large number of talents for the military construction of New China. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of general, which was an affirmation of his life's contribution and a recognition of his heroic deeds in New China.
It is worth mentioning that on a spring day in April 1938, Su Yu saved Zhong Qiguang's life in an operation, and this moment created an unforgettable comradeship between the two. Until his later years, Zhong Qiguang would still recall this past, and his eyes flashed with deep affection and nostalgia for that turbulent era.
Ke Lan's grandfather, Zhong Qiguang, made great contributions to the cause of China's liberation with his life's struggle and sacrifice. He was not only a military strategist, but also an educator and a leader who cared for his subordinates. His story, like a monument, stands firmly in the long river of history, witnessing the rise and change of an era.
Ke Lan inherited the spirit of perseverance and persistent pursuit from her grandfather, and also on her own acting path, she won the love of the audience with her serious and responsible work attitude and deep understanding of the role. Her on-screen image complements the real-life family traditions, and her popularity in playing the role of justice may also be related to the heroism of the family background.
Just as Zhong Qiguang deeply rooted revolutionary feelings in his heart, Ke Lan also passed on this spirit to modern audiences. Whether it's a character in a TV series or an ordinary person in real life, we can all draw strength from the stories of Zhong Qiguang and Ke Lan. They tell us that no matter how times change, the spirit of upholding justice and pursuing truth will never become obsolete, and they will shine in everyone's life in a different way.
