In 1962, Sino-Soviet relations were tense and the Sino-Indian border conflict intensified, and China's social and political ecology also underwent many changes in this year. Against this backdrop, military generals not only demonstrated extraordinary military prowess on the battlefield, but their personal relationships and interactions also closely affected the harmony and stability within the military. Xu Shiyou and Deng Hua, the two founding fathers and important generals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, in the context of such an era, their special encounter is not only a collision of personal emotions, but also a profound reflection of the responsibility and responsibility of the soldiers of that era.
One day in 1962, in a nondescript restaurant in the center of Beijing, there was a tense and heavy atmosphere in the air. Xu Shiyou, a general known for his iron will, walked into the restaurant with a complicated expression in his hand holding a bottle of old wine given by Chairman Mao. In his eyes, there is not only the cherishing of wine, but also an indescribable eagerness.
In the corner of the restaurant, Deng Hua sat alone, his eyes were calm as usual, but his heart was turbulent. From the Gutian Conference to the Long March, from the battlefield of resistance against Japan to the War of Liberation, and then to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Deng Hua has always been a leader in the army. At this time, he was reminiscing about the past years with Xu Shiyou, and those common experiences of life and death made the relationship between the two surpass that of ordinary comrades-in-arms.
Xu Shiyou approached Deng Hua, the expression on his face was complicated, he lifted the wine bottle, his voice trembled slightly: "Deng Hua, this is the wine given by the chairman himself, we-"
"Go away!" Deng Hua interrupted him suddenly, with a hint of imperceptible tremor in his voice. This abrupt sentence not only stunned Xu Shiyou, but also made the surrounding air freeze.
After a short silence, a trace of sadness flashed in Xu Shiyou's eyes, he sat down slowly and lowered his voice: "Deng Hua, I was wrong. I ...... that meeting I'm too impulsive. ”
Deng Hua took a deep breath and eased his emotions: "Shiyou, a brother on the battlefield, how can you be alienated because of a momentary misunderstanding. ”
The conversation between the two gradually turned from sharp to soft, Xu Shiyou lifted the wine bottle and poured the wine gently, and between the two glasses of wine, it seemed that many years of comradeship and misunderstanding had also been poured. The powerful sound of wine glasses colliding is not only a medium to resolve misunderstandings, but also a bridge to rebuild friendships.
"Remember that night raid on the battlefield in Korea? You and I shared the ice, and that night, we vowed to live and die together. Deng Hua's voice gradually became firm, and his eyes flashed with the deep trust between his comrades.
"How many times did I think I would never see you again that night." Xu Shiyou took over the conversation, the tears in his eyes flashed with the man's perseverance and emotional sincerity, "Deng Hua, in those days, it was you who made me believe that the strongest fortress on the battlefield is the human heart. ”
The two finally swept away years of misunderstandings and knots. Drinking wine in a glass is not only a simple liquid of wine, but also a deep brotherhood and a common hope for the future. Deng Hua stroked the wine glass and said slowly: "Friends of the world, no matter how difficult the future is, we must move forward side by side and move forward together." ”
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the two were firm and far-reaching, as if they had once again seen the war-torn battlefield but still insisted on their beliefs. This kind of conversation is not only the memories of the two veterans, but also the perseverance and expectation for the future.
Time is like water, despite the changes in the external environment, the friendship between Xu Shiyou and Deng Hua has become more indestructible after this ordeal. Their story slowly spread in the army and became a good story in the mouths of the soldiers. Not only did the two generals make extraordinary contributions on the battlefield, but their personal character and deep friendship have also become an example for people to follow.
In that era full of challenges and changes, the story of Xu Shiyou and Deng Hua is not only a historical evidence, but also a spiritual touch. Through candid dialogue and sincere emotional expression, they have demonstrated that true courage is not only about charging forward on the battlefield, but also about being able to face misunderstandings and conflicts head-on and have the courage to solve them. This is an extraordinary inspiration for everyone in a difficult situation. Just like the wine exchanged, it is not just as simple as wine, it is understanding, respect, and deep friendship.
