In 1955, there was a mute cook in the Central Committee who had never killed the enemy, but the chairman decided to give him a minority

In the Long March, that period of the Red Army's magnificent journey, there was a silent hero, his name may not be widely known, but his story is a moving legend in the history of the Long March, he is known as "dumb comrade".

During the arduous journey of the Long March, a deaf and mute peasant became the guide of the Red Army. Although this mute comrade could not speak, his deeds became a model for the soldiers of the Red Army. His military rank may not be high, but his heroic deeds are admirable.

Dumb comrades were assigned to the logistics units as cooks. Although he was unable to kill the enemy himself, he showed extraordinary courage in the work of logistics support. Climbing over the steep Jiajin Snow Mountain, he covered his head with the cauldron on his back and successfully evaded the attack of enemy planes. When crossing the meadow, he familiarized himself with the terrain and helped the team pass safely, and even in a crisis, he skillfully used the pot and rope on his back to successfully rescue his trapped comrades.

After the end of the Long March, the mute comrades did not stop because of their efforts. He silently did what he could for the party and the army. After being incorporated into the Central Garrison Corps, he continued to cook for everyone, dedicating himself in obscurity.

However, as the years passed, Comrade Mute gradually felt that he could not adapt to his new life. Although the organization arranged for him to recuperate, his serious attitude towards his work made it difficult for him to escape his old life. His story has been gradually forgotten over time.

In 1971, Comrade Mute retired and received sick treatment for physical reasons. He had a rare color television set in his hospital room and became one of the lucky ones of his time. However, he felt overwhelmed by his new surroundings and couldn't let go of his past devotion. In 1971, he passed away, leaving behind the words "dumb comrade".

The story of Comrade Mute is a little-known character in the Long March, and his silent dedication constitutes a beautiful scenery in the epic of the Red Army's Long March. This silent hero may not have shined on the battlefield, but he used his own way to interpret what a real hero is. As we pursue those heroes who have made great achievements, let us not forget those who have paid in obscurity and silently, and it is with them that we can go further.
