In 1962, the ups and downs of a piece of history slowly unfolded in the city of Beijing. Deng Hua, a former battlefield hero, had resigned from the military at this time and became vice governor of Sichuan. This year, he received a call from the central government to return to Beijing to attend a conference. But at this time, he is no longer the scenery of the past, and the people around him avoid him, as if he has become the existence of "no dog at home". This scene can't help but make people want to ask: how could a former hero end up like this?
In the spring of 1962, the sky was overcast, and the wind seemed to be a little chilly on the streets of Beijing. Deng Hua embarked on a journey to Beijing, filled with mixed emotions. He was a glorious general who led his troops to create countless miracles of war, from victory on Hainan Island to bravery on the Korean battlefield. But now, he has been transferred to a local place, and he seems to have been forgotten by the times.
After arriving in Beijing, Deng Hua's mood became even heavier. In the meeting, he felt an unprecedented coldness, and his former comrades-in-arms now saw him, as if they had seen a ghost, and avoided him one after another. This cold reception undoubtedly deepened his sense of loneliness. But at this moment, Xu Shiyou appeared. Xu Shiyou, a veteran of the Red Fourth Front Army, although he didn't have much intersection with Deng Hua, came with a bottle of wine at this cold moment.
Xu Shiyou's move is undoubtedly a warm current. Ignoring the eyes around him, he sat next to Deng Hua and proposed to drink together. His straightforwardness and enthusiasm made Deng Hua feel a little warm, but at the same time, he was a little embarrassed. Deng Hua's reaction was mixed, he rejected Xu Shiyou's kindness and told him to "don't come", which may be out of protection for Xu Shiyou, or it may be because of his self-esteem and reluctance to appear weak in front of others.
Xu Shiyou did not back down because of this, he insisted on drinking with Deng Hua, trying to break the atmosphere of indifference in this way. At this time, several other veterans also joined one after another, including Liu Yalou and Chen Yi. They may also feel Deng Hua's isolation and helplessness, and they all expressed their concern. Chen Yi even personally contacted 301 Hospital to care about Deng Hua's physical condition, which moved Deng Hua's heart.
Still, Deng Hua felt marginalized during the meeting. This is not only because of his change in identity, but also because of the fall victim of political struggle. He was forced to leave the army in 1959 due to changes in the political situation and became a local official. When I returned to Beijing this time, I thought that I could take the opportunity to return to the center of the political arena, but unexpectedly, the situation was even worse.
After this meeting, Deng Hua returned to Sichuan again. Although in the eyes of outsiders, deep down, he still retains loyalty to the country and the people. He may understand that the wheel of history is cruel, and that today's heroes may be tomorrow's forgotten corners. But this does not prevent him from continuing to serve the people, even in a position that no longer seems important.
Deng Hua is a microcosm of history, and it is also a profound analysis of human nature. In the tide of politics, everyone may be a flat boat in the waves, today's pride may be fleeting, tomorrow's loneliness may come at any time. But the real warriors, as Deng Hua and his comrades-in-arms showed, do not lie in their momentary gains and losses, but in their ability to uphold their beliefs and maintain their dignity no matter what situation they are in. "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. "Life cannot be smooth sailing, but we can choose to stay true to our original intention and never forget our original intention in the midst of wind and rain.
Through the passage of Deng Hua's history, we have seen the changes of an era, and we have seen the eternal shining points in human nature, whether it is Xu Shiyou's righteousness, or Liu Yalou and Chen Yi's care, they are all telling us that true friendship and human warmth can transcend the boundaries of time and space and become our strength to persevere in any predicament. The ever-changing world makes us remember those who have left beautiful moments in our lives, because it is these moments that constitute our eternal love for this world.
