【Introduction】:
That early morning in 1956, there was a "lively" thing next to the chessboard
In the compound of the military region, the sky was just dawning, the warm sun was just right, and the two old brothers were leisurely playing chess, enjoying the freedom of retirement. "Hey, Lao Bai, take a look, my cannon is directly blocking your door!" As he spoke, the chess pieces fell heavily, full of joy. "Hey, you wait, I'll jump!" The voice did not settle steadily, and the wind was in full swing at the courtyard gate, like a whirlwind blowing for a while.
A sturdy old man, like the wind on the soles of his feet, went straight to the place where they were playing chess, and his voice was as loud as thunder: "Daytime! You kid is old, and your guts are fat, and you dare not even listen to the chairman's words? At this moment, the originally comfortable chess game suddenly became the focus of the whole game.

From black to white, a secret in a name
Speaking of which, during the day, the name sounds ordinary, but the owner behind it is a legend. Originally named Wei Wei, why did he change his name to Bai Bai? We have to start from the beginning.
When he was a child, his family was poor, his father left early, and Wei Wei tasted the ups and downs of the world at a young age. At that time, the country was in chaos, and warlords were running rampant everywhere. Wei Wei gritted his teeth and was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy, wanting to make a career. When he was young, he was a passionate person who wanted to serve the motherland.
But after a long time, he found that the Kuomintang he longed for didn't seem to be quite right. Especially after the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke up, Chiang Kai-shek engaged in the set, Wei Wei felt aggrieved in his heart, but what could he do with a small soldier?
However, this incident planted a seed in his heart, and he was both curious and admired about the Communist Party. Why? Because everyone is for the good of the country and for national independence. Later, when he went to Yan'an and came into contact with the Communists, Wei Wei opened his eyes, and his heart became hot.
Especially the meeting with Chairman Mao, Wei Wei was completely convinced. He wanted to follow the Communist Party, but Chairman Mao told him that if he stayed in the Kuomintang, he might be able to play a greater role. When Wei Wei heard this, he understood, and from then on, he became a "double agent", running on both sides, and helping the Communist Party a lot.
Conferring the title, the stubborn old man's "unhappiness"
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the commendation of the commendation and the awarding of the title were very lively. But during the day, he felt that he used to be a Kuomintang, and now he wears a high hat, which is inappropriate, for fear that his brothers will feel uncomfortable. When this matter reached Chairman Mao's ears, even the chairman came forward to persuade him, but he still shook his head during the day. This made his old comrade-in-arms Mr. Peng anxious, and he came in a hurry, and as soon as he met, he counted down the day, and almost did it.
In the end, Bai Bai said: "Let's follow the major generals of the Kuomintang in the past, and I have a weak heart." Mr. Peng thought about it, and respected what he meant. Although the Central Committee originally planned to give him a lieutenant general, in the end he did as he said.
Wisdom and camaraderie outside the chessboard
Back to the chess game that morning, Mr. Peng's anger actually hides his concern and understanding for his old comrades-in-arms. Just like the unfinished game of chess, every step in life is full of choices and wisdom.
【Conclusion】:
The story of the day tells us that the real honor is not the star on the shoulder, but the persistence and responsibility in the heart. Let's look at that morning again, as if we can see the day standing there, with his experience to tell us: life is like chess, the important thing is not how many games you win, but every move with a clear conscience.
