In 1967, China was in a special period of change, with fierce political struggles and social turmoil. In this context, the two founding generals Xu Shiyou and Xiao Yongyin faced a thorny question: where should the son of the founding lieutenant general Tao Yong go?
Xu Shiyou, a general with a strong personality and outstanding military achievements, was forced by the situation to temporarily avoid the limelight in Wuxi. And Xiao Yongyin, as the commander of the Nanjing Armored Corps, although he is in an important position, he also feels pressure during this sensitive period.
One day, Xu Shiyou urgently summoned Xiao Yongyin, and asked the question with a solemn face: "Yongyin, Tao Yong is gone, what should he do with his child?"
When Xiao Yongyin heard this, his heart sank. Tao Yong, a former comrade-in-arms, won the respect of everyone for his loyalty and bravery. Now, after his death, the orphans and widows he left behind have become victims of political struggle. He knew that the answer to this question was not only related to the fate of Tao Yong's son, but also a test for the entire group of founding generals.
After some careful consideration, Xiao Yongyin put forward a seemingly ordinary but hidden mystery: "Send them to the army, not only to stay away from right and wrong, but also to train and grow." ”
After Xu Shiyou heard this, a glint of approval flashed in his eyes. He understood that Xiao Yongyin's proposal both protected Tao Yong's sons from persecution and pointed them in the future. So, under Xiao Yongyin's careful arrangement, Tao Yong's son successfully entered the army.
However, after this news came out, it caused quite a stir. Some praised Xu Shiyou and Xiao Yongyin's righteous deeds, arguing that they had held up the descendants of the founding generals, while others questioned their motives, arguing that it was just a bargain in a political struggle.
In the army, Tao Yong's son underwent rigorous military training and gradually grew into a qualified soldier. They are well aware of their special status, so they work harder to prove themselves, not burdened by their father's reputation, but only for their own honor.
With the passage of time, that special historical period gradually faded away, but the decisions of Xu Shiyou and Xiao Yongyin became a topic of conversation for future generations. In their own way, they injected a touch of color into that dark period, and also left a profound warning for future generations.
Looking back on this period of history, we cannot help but ask: In turbulent times, how should we face and deal with those issues involving politics and family affection? Do we choose to go with the flow, or do we stick to our principles and beliefs?
Xu Shiyou and Xiao Yongyin's choice gives us the answer. With their actions, they tell us that no matter how the times change, we should stick to the bottom line of humanity and respect the dignity and value of every life. Only in this way can we truly move towards a better future.
Through "In 1967, Xu Shiyou asked Xiao Yongyin: How to deal with the son of the founding lieutenant general Tao Yong?" We can draw several enlightenments from this historical event: First, in a special period, individual choices are often profoundly influenced by the background of the times, and it is necessary to weigh all kinds of advantages and disadvantages; second, true heroism is not only embodied in heroism on the battlefield, but also in perseverance and responsibility in daily life; third, in the face of complicated and complicated political struggles, we should keep a clear head and uphold justice and conscience; and fourth, history is composed of countless individual choices, and each of our choices may become an important link in the course of history。
