The pension of 8,000 yuan was in front of him, Huang Jie didn't move a cent, and handed it directly to Guo Chunfu.
Why was her husband's last property "distributed" in this way? The meritorious service was remarkable, but why did Xu Xiangqian refuse the title of marshal three times?

Marshal of three rejections
Xu Xiangqian is very strange.
During the war years, at least 800 of his troops became the founding generals, but as the leader, he refused to accept the title of marshal.
"I serve the country, and I don't pursue titles, fame and fortune."
Chairman Mao knew what he meant, and after some consideration with many leaders, he finally decided to award Xu Xiangqian the title of Marshal, after all, his performance in the revolution was really remarkable.
The Guangzhou Uprising took place in December 1927, and after its defeat, Xu Xiangqian followed the Red 4th Division to Haifeng, where the revolutionary fire of the city flourished.
In the face of the enemy's strength and weakness, Xu Xiangqian was not optimistic about the situation, and wanted to change the enemy to transfer, but the proposal was not adopted, and after the reckless attack, the Red 4th Division was besieged in the deep mountains and old forests.
The enemy was nearby, but there was less and less food, and at the critical moment, the responsibility was shouldered by Xu Xiangqian, the successor division commander, with a force of no more than 400 people, and fought against the enemy.
Xu Xiangqian and others have already settled in Xishan, and the main hit is a "dragon sees the head but not the tail", resolutely not to fight with the enemy when they are at a disadvantage, and there is no danger to retain this revolutionary force in Haifeng.
Xu Xiangqian, who was a blockbuster, came to Shanghai, and in June 1929, with the eagerness to do a big job, he entered the northeastern Hubei base area.
Its new task was to assume the military leadership of the entire Red 31st Division, but at this time, the soldiers of the Red 31st Division were almost locals, and many of them did not even have guns, so they took a red tassel gun and carried a big knife to fight the enemy.
Guangxi warlord Luo Lin "has a very smart nose", and he pleaded with the bandit Li Kebang to march from both sides, so as to eliminate the Red 31st Division in one go.
Xu Xiangqian did not give the enemy a chance, and once again used the strategy of "avoiding the strong and attacking the weak", combined with the secret weapon prepared in the early stage, and completely smashed the conspiracy of Luo Lin and Li Kebang.
As for this secret weapon, it is Xu Xiangqian's sincerity, he is a cadre sent by the party Central Committee, but he has never regarded himself as such a person among the masses, and when something goes wrong, he carries it in the front, and quickly wins the trust of the local cadres and the masses.
The masses are willing to help good people, and when Xu Xiangqian needs to attack from the "weak place", the people immediately cooperate and carry out raiding activities, so that the enemy can't eat enough and can't sleep well, so that the mind of fighting is reduced, and Xu Xiangqian, who caught the weak place, immediately launched an attack, which led to the follow-up repeated victories.
The Battle of Jinzhong helped the whole battle situation a lot, but Xu Xiangqian, who was in charge of the overall situation, often braved the scorching sun and heat, lying on a stretcher to command the battle.
When he was busy in the war, he didn't stop when the war ended, and as soon as the Jinzhong Battle ended, he was busy presiding over the meeting.
But at this time, Xu Xiangqian's condition had progressed to a very serious level, and the doctor recommended that he rest for at least three months, and he only lay down for only 20 days before continuing to work.
Extraordinary 1976
By the time the People's Republic of China was founded, there were fewer battles, but in a year of peace, there was one year that was particularly dazzling.
It was 1976.
On July 28 of this year, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck Tangshan, Hebei Province, but in just 23 seconds, an industrial city that had fought for many years to successfully shape it, and there was hardly a high-rise building in sight.
What has been smoothed out is Tangshan's efforts in industrialization, and it is the compatriots who are pressed under the reinforced concrete that are involved in the hearts of the people.
Chairman Mao was worried about his compatriots in Tangshan, and the report on the Tangshan earthquake became the last document approved by the great man.
What kind of greatness can still worry about the country at the last moment of his life? What kind of Chairman Mao can pour all his life's efforts into the peace and stability of New China?
Chairman Mao on September 9 never opened his eyes again, becoming the third leader to die in this year after Premier Zhou and Zhu De.
When Xu Xiangqian heard the news, he was sad enough, and after receiving the news that the organization "will enter the first level of combat readiness from September 9", he also immediately carried it out.
After all, the situation in China at that time was indeed not objective.
The icing on the cake is rare, but the one that falls into the trap is common, and China and the Soviet Union all but severed diplomatic relations in the 1960s.
In 1969, the Soviet Union also drove two armored vehicles, a truck and a command vehicle to invade Zhenbao Island in a menacing manner, resulting in many deaths and injuries among mainland border guards.
Two days later, Soviet border guards and planes invaded Zhenbao Island again.
One after another, almost all the past friendship between China and the Soviet Union was broken, and the Soviet Union, which felt that it had not been able to get benefits, even began to formulate a nuclear attack plan against China.
And at this time, China's nuclear weapons are zero.
In addition, Kissinger's secret trip in 1971 really broke the 22-year isolation between China and the United States.
The 17-hour conversation with Premier Zhou was also an exchange of views on a series of issues concerning the normalization of Sino-US relations.
The army had to take precautions, but fortunately, what they feared did not happen, and in June 1990, Xu Xiangqian was also admitted to the hospital for treatment of lung disease.
Perhaps aware of the urgency of the illness, when he went out, Xu Xiangqian was extremely reluctant to give up his small courtyard, and whispered, "If you go this time, you won't be able to come back."
Xu Xiangqian, who was admitted to the hospital, quickly developed a low-grade fever, and when Li Xiannian came to visit him on June 29, he had already begun to confess his last words.
"Don't say goodbye to the body, don't hold a memorial service, and scatter the ashes on Dabie Mountain, Daba Mountain, Taihang Mountain and Hexi Corridor."
Xu Xiangqian wanted to protect the land of his beloved country in another way, and the last words he left for his children were "You must always follow the party, match your words with deeds, and do what you say."
On September 21, 1990, Xu Xiangqian left this world, and the pension of more than 8,000 yuan from the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army was given to Guo Chunfu, because the Xu family knew that his child had leukemia and urgently needed money for treatment.
A life of kindness, such Xu Xiangqian is really respectable.
