National heroes always have privileges, but rights are also based on responsibility. Back then, Sun Yue went to take refuge in another country, but now he has not returned to his heart, but the road back is full of obstacles. In the face of layers of inspection, Sun Yue actually shouted, "Do you know who I am", causing an uproar among everyone. Why is this soldier who once bravely defended the country so arrogant today?
One. The hot-blooded young man Sun Yue made meritorious contributions at the beginning
The outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution was like a prairie fire, instantly igniting the entire land of China. From Shandong to Shaanxi, from North China to Jiangnan, there are guns and guns everywhere, and gunpowder smoke is everywhere. Although the Qing Dynasty was decaying day by day, no one could have imagined that this revolutionary movement, instigated by peasant uprisings and anti-Qing people in various places, would sweep across the country, and finally forced Pu Yi to abdicate smoothly on February 12, 1912. In this magnificent wave of revolution, a young man's name shines brightly - Sun Yue.
Sun Yue was born into a poor farming family and struggled to survive in a difficult environment since she was a child. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, although Sun Yue was still young, he had great ambitions and great pride, and joined the revolutionary army without hesitation. With his extraordinary courage and resourcefulness, he quickly established his reputation in the midst of war. In just two years, Sun Yue has grown step by step from a marine infantry to an outstanding middle-level general, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats.
Most unbelievably, Sun Yue infiltrated the enemy camp alone in 1913 and outwitted an important prisoner, buying precious time for the revolutionary army to reverse a battle that had almost been lost. This courage deeply impressed the superiors, and then Sun Yue was reused and transferred to another front-line town. There, with his extraordinary command skills and strategic vision, he led his troops to defeat the enemy several times. Due to his great achievements, Sun Yue soon rose from a nobody to a famous general in the revolutionary camp.
2. Sun Yue went to France to avoid chaos
Although the smoke of the Xinhai Revolution has dissipated, the country's civil strife is far from subsided. Soon after Yuan Shikai came to power, he was confined to his own interests, monopolized military power, and finally tried to become emperor in the court, causing anger and opposition from the people of the whole country. The Beiyang warlords then took the opportunity to raise troops against the Yuan clan, thus setting off an unprecedented warlord melee.
In this turbulent era, Sun Yue temporarily left the front line with worries about the future of the country. This brave and wise general, who cares about his family and country, has long understood that a disorderly civil war will only bring more suffering to the country. So, he resolutely resigned from the military and chose to temporarily live in seclusion in his hometown of Nanyang, devoting himself to study and thinking about the future of the country.
Born in a scholarly family, Sun Yue received a good Confucian education since he was a child and has a deep understanding of Confucius and Mencius. Combining it with his personal experience on the battlefield, it is not difficult to see that Sun Yue was particularly dissatisfied with feudal autocracy. He aspires to break down old hierarchies and build a truly egalitarian society in China.
Just as Sun Yue was learning and pursuing new knowledge, a piece of news thundered: on July 14, 1789, the French Revolution broke out! This bourgeois revolution, under the banner of equality, freedom and fraternity, marked the emergence of a new trend of progressive thought in Europe. Sun Yue was greatly encouraged, and he believed that this would bring unprecedented opportunities to China. Therefore, he made up his mind to go to France and learn the valuable experience of the revolution.
In the spring of 1792, Sun Yue embarked on a long journey to Europe with the dream of saving the country. Who would have thought that this young general would embark on a road of no return full of thorns.
3. Sun Yue experienced ups and downs in France
Sun Yue, who first arrived in Paris, is full of yearning and expectation for this prestigious city, just like countless young people with ideals. However, real life is not as rosy as he imagined. As a lonely foreigner, Sun Yue is overstretched in the local life, and even the basic food and clothing problems are often unable to be solved.
What's worse is that as the face of the East, Sun Yue will be looked at and discriminated against by passers-by from time to time. Once, he was begging on the street, but he was insulted and foamed at by a passerby, and he was embarrassed. Faced with such humiliation, Sun Yue was indignant in his heart, but in the end he could only endure the pain and leave silently. It was these setbacks and traumas that made him realize how humble and helpless poverty and skin color were in this country.
Just when Sun Yue was about to despair, a turning point finally appeared. One day, he met a fellow villager on the street, who heard that he was a meritorious soldier of the Xinhai Revolution, admired him very much, and warmly invited him home as a guest. There, Sun Yue met a group of like-minded revolutionaries, who were enthusiastic and ambitious, which inspired Sun Yue. Since then, Sun Yue has regained his hope and fighting spirit for life.
In order to escape the life of extreme poverty, Sun Yue began to look for a job everywhere and took the opportunity to learn about the local language and culture. He worked as an apprentice in a bakery and in a restaurant, and although it was hard, he never gave up. In this way, Sun Yue relied on his own hands and finally got through the most difficult period. At the same time, the revolutionary aspirants he befriended often organized secret meetings to discuss various plans to overthrow the old system and establish a new policy.
4. Sun Yue returned to China to fight bravely against the enemy
While Sun Yue was painstakingly cultivating in France, the situation in China fell into an even more turbulent situation. The constant warlords of Beiyang, coupled with the oppression of foreign powers, made the country's prospects bleak. It was not until 1911 that the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution brought a ray of vitality to the Chinese nation.
The ideals and brilliant deeds of the French Revolution in 1789 planted the seeds of democracy and freedom in Sun Yue's heart. Now, this ideal has finally blossomed on the land of the motherland. After hearing the news, Sun Yue was resolute and determined to devote himself to the revolutionary cause. He was looking forward to it and was determined to go to the front line and contribute to the rebirth of the country.
In the early spring of 1912, Sun Yue embarked on a journey back to China. Along the way, he witnessed the tragic situation of continuous domestic wars and people's misery, and his heart was like a knife. Arriving in Nanjing, Sun Yue immediately joined the revolutionary army led by Sun Yat-sen. With his past experience on the battlefield, he soon demonstrated his command skills and was reused as the army's chief of staff.
At the end of that year, Sun Yue's unit was fiercely attacked by the coalition of Beiyang warlords. The situation was once so grim that even Sun Yat-sen himself wanted to abandon the city and flee. However, Sun Yue said categorically: "The future of the country depends on this battle." It would be a great loss for us to hold back!" So, he personally commanded the army and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
After a fierce battle, Sun Yue finally won a big victory with his clever strategy. This victory not only saved the revolutionary regime on the verge of bankruptcy, but also won Sun Yue a great reputation as the "God of War". Since then, he has been imposing, received a very high title, and has become an indispensable leader in the revolutionary camp.
5. Sun Yue spoke proudly after his return
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Sun Yue is over seventy years old. Although he is old, he is still in good spirits and worried about the future of the country. At this moment, a sudden upheaval forced him to sail across the ocean again.
On July 7, 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and the full-scale War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began. Under the smoke of war, displaced refugees are everywhere. In order to escape the war, Sun Yue decided to take his family to Europe for temporary refuge. It was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 that the situation finally stabilized.
Sun Yue, who has lived in a foreign land for a long time, is naturally eager to return to the embrace of the motherland. So, in 1952, he bought a ticket back to China with his heart in mind. All the way, it was very smooth. It wasn't until we arrived at the port of Shanghai that there were some small twists and turns.
Sun Yue encountered obstacles at customs for the first time, and officials demanded that he be subject to identity checks and baggage checks. As a veteran general who has experienced a hundred battles and is a dignitary, Sun Yue is very dissatisfied with this. He felt that he had made a distinction and deserved preferential treatment, and he complained about the staff. After the two sides broke up unhappily, Sun Yue left angrily, preparing to find another way to return to China.
However, Sun Yue did not give up. He tried his best to get the relevant authorities to agree to give him the green light. In this way, Sun Yue was finally able to embark on the journey back to his hometown. But just as he was about to board the ship, he was again interrogated and inspected by customs officers. This time, Sun Yue completely lost his patience and shouted on the spot, "Don't you know who I am?!" For a while, the scene was very chaotic.
