It is said that back then, there was such a little soldier, who was not well known, but with the recognition of a unique characteristic of the regiment commander, he followed with an iron heart. The regimental commander later rose to the rank of marshal, and he, for his loyalty and ability, was awarded the rank of general. It sounds legendary, but it's a great story in our history.
This little soldier's name is Li Jukui, who was born poor, but he has the strength to not admit defeat in his heart. When he joined the army, it happened that the regiment commander Peng Dehuai led the troops. Peng Dehuai, everyone may have heard of him, he fought bravely and managed the army well, but the most impressive thing is his approachable style of sharing weal and woe with soldiers.
When Li Jukui first entered the barracks, he was just an inconspicuous soldier. But he is not willing to be mediocre, and always wants to find someone to learn from and find an example to follow. He observed for a long time, and finally set his eyes on the regiment commander Peng Dehuai. He found that although Peng Dehuai was the regiment commander, he never put on a show, and often ate and slept with the soldiers, and even went to the battlefield together. This style of mingling with the soldiers made Li Jukui deeply admired.
So, Li Jukui made up his mind to follow the head of the regiment. He not only killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, but also used every opportunity to ask Peng Dehuai for advice. Peng Dehuai also saw his potential and often personally guided him. In this way, Li Jukui, under the support of Peng Dehuai, gradually emerged.
Later, Peng Dehuai was promoted to marshal all the way because of his outstanding military achievements. And Li Jukui, with his loyalty and talent, has grown from a small soldier to a general. The friendship between them has also become a good story in the army.
Some people may ask, how did Li Jukui grow from a nameless soldier to a general? I think that in addition to his ability and hard work, what is more important is his trust in and follow-up to the regiment commander. He saw Peng Dehuai's unique characteristics - sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, being approachable - and so he followed him with an iron heart. This kind of trust and following not only allowed him to be appreciated and promoted by Peng Dehuai, but also allowed him to continue to grow and progress in his military career.
Actually, each of us will meet all kinds of people in our lives. Some people may seem ordinary, but they have unique strengths and traits in them. If we can identify and recognize these strengths and traits, and then follow them firmly, then we too will be able to grow and progress on the road of life, just like Li Jukui.
So, I would like to say, don't underestimate everyone around you. They may be your mentors and role models in life. As long as you observe, discover, and follow with your heart, you will definitely be able to go further and higher on the road of life.
Finally, let us praise Li Jukui and Peng Dehuai's mentorship and apprenticeship, and also pay tribute to those who have helped and guided us in our lives. Because it is because of them that we can move forward bravely and continuously on the road of life.
