Some people say that life in the world is only the pursuit of fame and fortune, but this society is still advocating people who are indifferent to fame and fortune, because the real indifference is not everyone can do it, they stand up at the moment of national crisis, and after social stability, they often do not fight for fame and fortune. Today, the editor will introduce you to such a person, he is Lin Biao's teacher, or Zhu De's junior brother, he has been dedicating his whole life to the country, and he has dedicated his life's energy to the country. But when he declared his military rank, he only declared the rank of "lieutenant general", and he himself never thought that he had made much contribution, but he just felt that he was an ordinary person who pursued truth and had faith - he was Chen Qihan.
After graduating from high school in his early years, General Chen Qihan was bent on serving the motherland, but at that time the national situation was turbulent, he joined the Jiangxi army at first and gradually rose to the rank of acting battalion commander, but later broke away from the Jiangxi army due to dissatisfaction with the warlord melee and defected to the Guangzhou Revolutionary Military Government at that time, and later participated in the Northern Expedition led by Mr. Sun Yat-sen and the suppression of the merchant rebellion. After that, he entered the Whampoa Military Academy to study, because he participated in the revolution early and he was a teacher at the Whampoa Military Academy for a while, leading the students to go to the East to crusade against the warlords, Lin Biao was one of the students here. In February 1925 he joined the Chinese Communist Party. Later, in order to improve his military ability, he also went to the lecture hall in Yunnan to continue his studies, because Zhu De also studied here, so he became Premier Zhu De's junior brother.
He also made outstanding contributions in the agrarian revolution and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression; when he was the head of the General Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, he also served as the president of the Third Branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. There is also the importance of special forces and staff officers, in terms of strategy, he also continued to learn, in the liberation war, he also made great contributions, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was also diligent, called himself a "senior mason", he called the left and right faction people together, let them stop fighting.
It is worth mentioning that General Chen Qihan was also a student of Chairman Mao. When he was attending the Whampoa Military Academy, he came to Chairman Mao's Peasant Movement Training Institute every Sunday to listen to lectures, and it was here that he began to become a loyal follower and practitioner of Chairman Mao's ideas on armed struggle. It was also in the lecture that he was also baptized by Mao's thoughts. In the course of the Anti-Japanese War, he unswervingly followed the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and it was precisely because of this belief that he dedicated his life to the revolution and did not ask for anything in return.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the military rank was awarded, because of his military merits, when the military rank was awarded in 1955, the Military Commission asked General Chen Qihan to write the military rank by himself, and he himself wrote the rank of "lieutenant general", and at this time, Lin, who was his student, was already a marshal. But he didn't care about these things, he won under the leadership of Chairman Mao, and his personal gain and loss status was of course small compared with the country. He did not choose fame and fortune, but he was ready to retire after success. However, his modesty was obviously inconsistent with his merits, but then the leadership was not happy, hoping that he could take up a more important position, and gave him the rank of general.
Because of the existence of ideals and beliefs, people become stronger and more selfless. People who share the same belief are like having a common belief, because they have the belief in communism and believe in the inevitability of the success of the armed revolution in the countryside, so General Chen dedicated his life to the country and to the bright and righteous path he pursued. He is focused on learning and is constantly learning. Not only was he strict with himself, but he also taught his children by word and deed, telling them to be tenacious, mighty, and to pursue the truth. His spirit deserves our respect, and it is even more worthy of our inheritance and learning.
No matter what position we are in, we must be patriotic and dedicated, do our own work well, and at the same time, we must also have the country in mind, continue to learn, adhere to the right path, and persist in the pursuit of light. Better walk on the road of life and realize the value of life we pursue. Although we live in an era of peace and prosperity, we still need to learn from the spirit of our ancestors like General Chen who worked hard and did not ask for anything in return.
