We can often see such a sentence: I am a brick of the country, where it needs to be moved. The older generation of revolutionaries upheld this principle, and as long as it was the needs of the country, it was the goal of his work. Ren Rong is the representative of this.

Ren Rong was born in Sichuan in 1917 to his parents who farmed the land for the landlord's family. It was really difficult for peasants in the old society to make a living, and his father was almost beaten to death by the government because he could not pay taxes. Because the family could not read for generations, they suffered a great loss when signing a contract with the landlord.
His parents knew the importance of culture and gritted their teeth to send Ren Rong to primary school. Although the family could hardly open the pot, his parents still insisted on providing him with education. He was the most ragged in his class, but his grades were always at the top of the list, but he dropped out of school because of poverty.
In 1932, the flames of the revolution reached Ren Rong's hometown, he joined the Communist Youth League in 1933, and when the Red Army arrived in his hometown, he attended the meeting as a delegate, and was the first to sign up for the Red Army.
His parents were very supportive of his decision, making him clothes and straw shoes overnight and letting him fight well. At this point, the 16-year-old Ren Rong officially began his revolutionary career.
He performed prominently in the Red Army, fighting has always been a charge, although he has been wounded many times, he is still brave and tenacious, and he knows in his heart that only by fighting the battle well can the poor families in the whole world live a good life, and his parents will not be bullied by the landlords. When crossing the meadow, Ren Rong almost died nine times, and without the help of his comrades-in-arms, he would certainly not be able to walk out of the meadow.

While climbing the snowy mountain, he suddenly fell ill, and it was wang Xinting, director of the Red Army University at that time, who gave up his horse to him, so that he could survive the snowy mountain. Later, in 1980, Ren Rong happened to meet Wang Xinting in the hospital, saying that the other party was a savior, and without his horse, he would not have survived. He often said that it was the sacrifice of comrades-in-arms who sacrificed their lives to save each other, and he had his own today, and he would never forget the kindness of his comrades-in-arms.
In the later War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Ren Rong made many achievements in battle, because of the bravery of the battle, he was wounded several times, and was hit in the neck by a bullet in 1947, although he saved his life after treatment, but the neck has always been in a stiff state, and in the following decades, the head is still difficult to turn to the left, and the neck will be painful when bowing his head.
In 1948, during the Battle of Western Liaoning, an enemy shell threw Ren Rong a few meters away, and the forefoot of his left foot was half blown off, and the situation scared the guards into tears, but Ren Rong simply bandaged it and continued to command the battle on a stretcher.
In 1950, Ren Rong knew that the central government had sent troops to Korea, and despite his own disabilities, he took the initiative to ask for help. He was traveling from Dandong to North Korea in a jeep accompanied by an interpreter, and after a long conversation between the two, he discovered that the translator was Mao Anying, Chairman Mao's son.
Later, after learning the news of Mao Anying's death, Ren Rong was deeply saddened. After the Volunteers left Korea, he was appointed a member of the Armistice Military Commission. At that time, the situation facing the committee was very complicated, and he and the DPRK personnel completed all the work as much as possible. The remains of the martyr Mao Anying and the Volunteer Army Martyrs' Cemetery were all collected and built by him.
When he was awarded the rank in 1955, Ren Rong was awarded the rank of major general.

In 1964, the central authorities decided to send two military-level cadres to Tibet, and when Ren Rong learned about it, he took the initiative to ask to go to Tibet. The central government understood his feelings, but considering that his body was still disabled, he wanted to send someone else. He said that he had already done the examination and there was no problem, and the central government had to agree when he saw that he was eager.
He went for sixteen years, during which time he dragged his disabled body through every inch of Tibet, and exchanged his efforts for the stable development of the entire Tibetan area. There are still many stories in Tibet when he was in charge of Rongshubian.
After retiring, General Ren was concerned about the development of his hometown, and he funded the local poor students out of his own pocket. He also often went to major colleges and universities to study and tell the story of supporting the frontier in those years, and under his inspiration, many students expressed their desire to contribute to the construction of the frontier.
In 2017, the 100-year-old Major General Ren died of illness in Wuhan. Although General Ren has left us, his deeds will always inspire us, and his spirit will be passed down and carried forward from generation to generation.
