In 1971, Lin Biao was destroyed when the plane crashed in Öndörkhan. His son, 27-year-old Lin Liguo, died along with him.
Some people celebrated when they heard the news, but others were heartbroken. The celebrants are glad that the country no longer has to be devastated by this gang of people, and the sad people are sad that the lover of their dreams who has been thinking about for several years has completely left them.
This sad person is Xu Huashan, the daughter of General Xu Shiyou, and her dream lover is Lin Liguo, who is praised as a "super genius".
What is the relationship between the two of them, and why does Xu Huashan never forget Lin Liguo?
Two different ways of education
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the generals of the People's Liberation Army who made selfless contributions to the country were also awarded titles for their outstanding military exploits, and their living conditions were also greatly improved. Against this background, the children of marshals and generals naturally have the conditions to be well trained.
Some people choose to spoil their children and let them lose themselves in enjoyment. Others insisted on strict family education, hoping that the revolutionary spirit would be passed on.
Lin Biao's child, Lin Liguo, was excessively promoted, so much so that Chairman Mao pointed out by name, "People in their twenties are praised as 'super geniuses', what is the benefit of this?"
Lin Liguo, who was admitted to Peking University in 1965, was suspended at home in 1966 due to special circumstances at that time. In 1967, Lin Liguo, who did not go through any formalities, was arranged to work as a secretary at the Air Force Command.
Lin Biao reminded the leaders of the Air Force on many occasions that they should take more care of Lin Liguo and give him the opportunity to take charge of himself.
In 1969, under the personal care of Lin Biao, the 24-year-old Lin Liguo emerged in the Air Force Command and became a deputy minister. The official position is no longer small, but the actual power is much greater than this official position.
The command of the Air Force was in fact in the hands of Lin Liguo. The Party Committee of the Air Force has repeatedly stressed that all matters in the Air Force "can be mobilized and commanded by Lin Liguo." "This is obviously bypassing the central government and handing over the command of the Air Force to Lin Liguo.
The fundamental reason for all this is because Lin Liguo's father, Lin Biao, is overly fond of him. Lin Biao even said that Lin Liguo was his "eyeball", and his importance can be seen.
It is precisely because of such a favor that Lin Liguo does not know awe. Even when the conspiracy was revealed, he wanted to take risks and finally went to the point of no return.
And General Xu Shiyou's discipline of children is another typical example.
General Xu Shiyou was born poor and began to learn martial arts from others at the age of 8. After joining the revolution, Xu Shiyou must be the first in every battle, participated in the death squad many times, and was awarded the rank of general after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was such a successful general, and he was known for his strictness in the education of his children.
Xu Shiyou has a total of 7 children, none of whom have not been beaten by this military father. Later, it was the third daughter Xu Huashan who took the lead in the "rebellion" and wanted to defeat the "warlord" father, and Xu Shiyou was "forced" to promise not to beat them again.
As a general, Xu Shiyou believes that the life of the army is the best way to train people. He let all his children join the army, and specifically emphasized that they could not seek personal gain in his name. The children's work transfer, he has not found a relationship.
Xu Huashan, the daughter who grew up by her side, although she is most favored by General Xu Shiyou, is not relaxed at all in management.
General Xu Shiyou managed Xu Huashan completely in accordance with the requirements of managing soldiers and managed Xu Huashan from an early age. He asked Xu Huashan to go home on time after school, and he had to ask for leave when he went out, and explain the reason clearly.
Xu Huashan later recalled, "My father taught me since I was a child, and I must never use public and private weapons", in her memory, she rarely used her father's car, and she rode bicycles and buses when she went out.
Xu Huashan was admitted to the pilot, but she thought that her father would not let her go, because the soldiers worked hard, and the pilots worked even harder. Who knew that Xu Shiyou was very supportive when he learned about it. And he stressed to her that "you must obey orders" and "finish your studies and be a good soldier." ”
At first, Xu Huashan couldn't stand the hard training, and wrote a letter to complain to his father, but he was too tired to graduate, and even expressed his hope to drop out of school at one point.
Xu Huashan thought that she could get her father's care and love, but who knew that General Xu Shiyou told her to "prepare to die and fight for life!"
is such a growth environment, the cultivated Xu Huashan not only dares to dare to work, but also is very assertive, and the decisions he makes cannot be changed even by General Xu Shiyou.
Never married
While Xu Huashan was studying at the military academy, he met Lin Liguo. At that time, Lin Liguo had no merit but rose to a high position, and he often went to the grassroots level to chat with ordinary pilots. And he and Xu Huashan actually knew each other when they were children.
After coming and going, the two gradually got acquainted. Xu Huashan was deeply attracted by the capable and gentle Lin Liguo, so he took the initiative to launch an offensive. And Lin Liguo has not had a clear response to this.
Xu Huashan, who dared to love and hate, told his family about it, his father Xu Shiyou was noncommittal about it, and his mother thought it was a good thing.
First, the daughter found her true destiny, and secondly, Lin Biao's family was in the middle of the day at that time, and it was not a bad thing for the two families to get married. So Xu Huashan's mother personally contacted the Lin family, hoping to promote this good thing.
Lin Liguo did not say anything, and Xu Huashan not only launched a fierce offensive herself, but her mother also took the initiative to contact the other party to emphasize that "the door is right". And the Lin family did not agree to this family affair in the end.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, Lin Liguo himself does not have a resolute attitude. On the other hand, at that time, Lin Biao's ambition became more and more tired, and Xu Shiyou was always loyal to the party, and the two could not go together.
After learning about the Lin family's attitude, Xu Huashan cried a lot, and had to bury this "first love" in his heart.
In 1971, the news of Lin Biao's family defecting and dying came, Xu Huashan's mother was glad that the two families did not achieve good things in the end, but Xu Huashan was saddened by Lin Liguo's death.
Heartbroken, Xu Huashan finally went abroad to do business and made a career, and never married.
epilogue
Lin Biao indulged the child and elevated the child through relationships, so Lin Liguo didn't know the height of the sky. General Xu Shiyou treated the children strictly, let them go to the army for exercise, and in the end, the children were very assertive and successful.
What kind of education, what kind of children to cultivate.
