Cao Kefan and Wu Keli
On March 5, 2021, when attending the deliberations of the Inner Mongolia delegation to the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping mentioned three red stories: "the first communists in Inner Mongolia", "working together to build Baotou Steel", and "three thousand orphans entering Inner Mongolia".
Ulanf
All three of these republics are related to a great man, the founding general Ulanf. Ulanf, who joined the Communist Party of China in 1925, served as chairman of the People's Government of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and vice chairman of the People's Republic of China, and was an outstanding proletarian revolutionary, a tried and tested communist fighter, and an outstanding leader in national work.

Ulanf was born in 1906 in Tumut Banner, Inner Mongolia. In 1923, at the age of 17, Ulanf, together with more than thirty Mongolian students, came to Beijing from the steppe and entered the Mongolian-Tibetan school.

Under the influence of Communist pioneers such as Li Dazhao, Deng Zhongxia, and Zhao Shiyan, these students also began to participate in various revolutionary activities and explore and advance on the road of seeking national liberation, and the revolutionary flame of Inner Mongolia was ignited from the Mongolian and Tibetan schools.
Ulanf in his youth
Beginning in the second half of 1924, a number of advanced elements, including Ulanf, joined the Communist Party of China one after another, becoming the first mongolian party members in the history of our party and actively participating in revolutionary work.

In 1933, Wu Keli was born in Tumut Banner, Inner Mongolia, his original name was Wu Bin, and he was the second son of Ulan fu. This photograph, taken around 1940, is the only surviving photograph of Uccoli's childhood with his father. At that time, Ulan Fu was serving as acting director of the political department of the newly formed Third Division of the National Revolutionary Army, while Ukhli was studying at the Junior Military Training School.
Childhood Ucoli
In 1941, when the Kuomintang launched a second anti-communist upsurge, the identity of the underground party of the Ccp in Ulanf was exposed, and he had to leave Inner Mongolia with his wife and two sons and rush to Yan'an.

After more than a month of long journeys, Wu Keli followed his father from the Inner Mongolian steppe to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution, and was sent to school in Ansai County. Who knew that after only one day, he had done an earth-shattering "big thing".
"My father also knew, saying that you are too unproductive, how can you run away with such a thing?" As a result, my father got angry and kicked me, and kicked me down. Come on, send you back tomorrow, don't run back, you're not welcome to run back again. ”

Wukeli spent four years in Yan'an. After the victory of the War of Resistance, Ulan fu returned to Inner Mongolia to engage in revolutionary work, Wu Keli's sister Yun Shubi and brother Buhe went to the front line of the Liberation War, and Wu Keli became a signal soldier in the Xilingol League.
In May 1947, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region under the leadership of the Communist Party of China was proclaimed, and Ulanf was elected chairman of the autonomous government. This is also the first provincial-level ethnic autonomous region in China's history, which has set a brilliant example for China's regional ethnic autonomy system. In smashing the conspiracy of separatist forces at home and abroad and safeguarding the reunification of the motherland, Ulan Fu has made great contributions.
Wu Keli (studied at Harbin Military Engineering College in 1955)
After the founding of New China, Wu Keli came to Beijing to continue his studies, and in 1954 he was admitted to the Harbin Military Engineering College, and in 1958 he transferred to the University of Science and Technology of China, becoming a rocket satellite technology expert, making indelible contributions to China's aerospace industry and space technology.

Throughout Ulanf's life, as a leader of ethnic minorities, national unity and national unity always came first in his heart. Therefore, whenever the country encounters difficulties, he always has the unshirkable responsibility to find ways to solve problems for the motherland without hesitation or in any way. Here we will mention the other two red stories that General Secretary Xi talked about.
As one of the first three major steel enterprises in New China, Baotou Steel was completed and put into operation in 1959, ending the history of "unarmed" in Inner Mongolia and laying the foundation for the new Chinese steel industry. Ulanf's contribution to this will also be recorded in the annals of new China.
In 1958, Ulanf cut the ribbon for the opening ceremony of the Baogang Coking Plant
"The ore hill in that place of Baogang steel, the people said that there were 'gods' in that place, so they could not move the soil. My father went to work and made the reason clear, and the people agreed. Because they know in advance that you are a good person and have done a lot of good things, you have to say that you have done good things, he believes it more. ”
Ulanf visits "children of the nation"
"Three thousand orphans entered Inner Mongolia", in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the land of China experienced a rare natural disaster. Some orphanages in Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places are in trouble because of food shortages. The simple and kind people of Inner Mongolia have successively accepted more than 3,000 orphans from Shanghai and other places, raised these "children of the country", and written a period of great love on earth that transcends blood, region and nation. It was Ulanfu, who was then the chairman of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, who made this decision.
"The prime minister said that there are now more than three thousand orphans in the south, and there is no milk to eat. That morning, my father was basically walking around the yard. Later, when I inquired, the secretary said that your father was quite bold, saying , 'Come one, raise one, strengthen one, live one'. ”

In 1987, on the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Ulanf returned to his hometown, the last time he set foot on this hot land of his life. In December 1988, Ulan fu died of illness at the age of 82.
Today, 33 years later, his son Wu Keli is also an elderly man. His father's voice and smile, high wind and bright knots were still as clear in his heart as yesterday. Ulan Fu, the red son of the Inner Mongolian steppe, is still influencing and inspiring future generations with his lofty thoughts and great spirit, and building a majestic red monument on the land of China.
