【New Chapter】
Zhang Zhonghan's legendary career did not stop at one territory, but gradually evolved into a magnificent picture of the country's frontier. His profound influence in Xinjiang is not only reflected in the military construction, but also in his contribution to the naming and planning of Xinjiang's cities.
In 1958, Zhang Zhonghan found a field when he inspected the site in Altai, and he proposed to set up the headquarters of the 10th Agricultural Division here, and personally named it "Beitun". The origin of this place name shows Zhang Zhonghan's deep thinking on the development of northern Xinjiang, and Beitun City is still like a bright pearl embedded in the territory of Xinjiang.
【The Miracle of Shihezi】Zhang Zhonghan had a profound influence on the construction of Xinjiang, the most notable of which was Shihezi. He began to work on the land in 1950, personally planning the layout of the city, and establishing the Corps Agricultural College and the Art Theater. This place that was once the Gobi Desert is now a thriving city, and this miracle is inseparable from Zhang Zhonghan's wisdom and perseverance.
The Gobi Desert and grasslands in Xinjiang used to be a place where no grass grows, however, at Zhang Zhonghan's insistence, it has become an oasis. He went deep into the Gobi Desert and personally cultivated the land, laying a solid foundation for Xinjiang's green construction. His dedication not only changed the face of this land, but also lit up the future of Xinjiang.
Zhang Zhonghan, a pioneer of agricultural reclamation, was deeply involved in agricultural reclamation in Xinjiang and made great contributions to Xinjiang's agricultural production. His dedication and pragmatic style have enabled Xinjiang to achieve fruitful results in the cause of agricultural reclamation. Agricultural reclamation construction is not only the development of land, but also the improvement of people's lives, which is a link that cannot be ignored in the legend of Zhang Zhonghan's frontier.
The hard work of Zhang Zhonghan and others led to the establishment of the Xinjiang Military Region Production and Construction Corps, which is a unique existence of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Their mission is not only military defense, but also to participate in the production and construction of the country and contribute to the prosperity and development of the frontier. Zhang Zhonghan's construction philosophy and courageous spirit have achieved the glorious history of the XPCC.
In the face of the outside world's doubts and doubts about the Xinjiang Military Region's Production and Construction Corps, Zhang Zhonghan firmly said: "We just want to build a garden on the Gobi Desert. This short but powerful statement resonated with the members of the Corps and convinced them that their existence and development were important contributions to the country.
[The Glory of the Uncrowned Army] Even if he was not awarded a military rank, Zhang Zhonghan's life shone with the glory of the Uncrowned Army. His deep affection, regardless of personal gains and losses, gave all the wages paid by the central government to his comrades-in-arms. His frankness is the highest glory of the uncrowned army, and it is also the memory of the heroes who will never wither.
On March 9, 1980, Zhang Zhonghan completed his bumpy and glorious life. Before he died, he did not leave any rhetoric, but just gave all his salary to his comrades-in-arms. This silently dedicated frontier hero was like an uncrowned army at the curtain call, heroic and resolute.
【Review and Prospect】Zhang Zhonghan's life is a legend of an uncrowned army. His deep cultivation and dedication to the frontier have made outstanding contributions to the prosperity of Xinjiang. His glorious legend is a vivid portrayal of the fearless spirit of Chinese soldiers. Looking back on Zhang Zhonghan's life, we see the greatness of an ordinary soldier and the brilliance of a hero.
In the vast land of history, there are too many uncrowned troops, and they are either buried by time or forgotten by the years.
