<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" ></h1>
Wu Zhonghao was born into an ordinary peasant family in Hunan Province. Wu Zhonghao's parents have far-reaching vision, clearly realizing that dealing with land all day will not do much, and they hope that this child will be able to have a career in the future, so they must send him to study and go to the larger world. So they worked day and night, saving money and money to provide for the child's education.
Although Wu Zhonghao did not come from a famous family and a scholarly family, it was fortunate that his mind was flexible, coupled with his own diligence and studiousness, his academic performance has always been among the best. Wu Zhonghao did not live up to the expectations of his parents, always regarded reading as a top priority, and never cried bitterly. From childhood to adulthood, Wu Zhonghao's study did not let people worry about it, and he graduated from high school smoothly and smoothly until he went to college.
Wu Zhonghao was admitted to Peking University, one of the top universities in China. He traveled to Beiping with ideals and aspirations, and in this open and inclusive university campus, he was exposed to new knowledge, new ideas and new ideas that had never been heard before. These new ideologies had a great impact on Wu Zhonghao.
Wu Zhonghao has a strong ability to accept. While silently digesting everything he received, he thought hard about the connection. He liked to listen to people's speeches and delve into the knowledge in the book, and soon he learned it through and began to make his own judgments about the different factions around him. In the end, he, led by the leader at the time, Li Dazhao, quickly embraced the Communist Party's ideas.
Wu Zhonghao is not only good at reading, but also has a strong ability to practice and act. After he embraced the Communist Party's ideas thoroughly, he was determined to do something rather than just shouting empty slogans on campus or going to the streets to participate in a few parades. He himself joined the Communist Party and was determined to recruit more members.
In the end, Wu Zhonghao chose to return to his familiar hometown to develop party members. He returned to his long-lost hometown with the new ideas he had received in the big cities, where he established the first local party branch. Communism was a very foreign concept to the locals, and Wu Zhonghao was very patient in doing mass work.
Regarding himself, Wu Zhonghao felt that he also needed to learn relevant knowledge more systematically. Therefore, he resolutely applied for the Whampoa Military Academy and decided to devote himself to the revolutionary cause completely. In the military school, as in school, he performed very well, attracted attention, and was loved by the instructors of the time. In the end, Wu Zhonghao graduated with very dazzling results.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > second, military career</h1>
Wu Zhonghao initially worked as a military instructor. The task he undertook at that time was mainly to train cadres of the peasant movement and explain relevant theories and knowledge to them, and at the same time to conduct preliminary military training and strengthen the party's reserve army. He worked very hard, and gradually accumulated his own experience and methods in his work, forming his own system.
It was in this place that Wu Zhonghao first met the great man Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao attached great importance to the importance of practical training and physical fitness, and he and Wu Zhonghao met and hated each other late, and talked very speculatively. The two of them had very good views on how to carry out their work in the future and how to expand the revolutionary forces, and they often talked for a long time.
After leaving the post of military instructor, Wu Zhonghao directly entered the unit, initially holding the position of company commander, and later because of his excellent performance, he was appointed battalion commander. It was in the troops at that time that Wu Zhonghao obeyed the orders of the central authorities, participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and reunited with Chairman Mao in this war.
At that time, Wu Zhonghao was still a little uncomfortable in the army, and his mood was somewhat bitter, mainly because he could not see the direction of the future, and often talked to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao was very good at doing the work of regulation, and often played the role of seeing the clouds in one or two sentences. This made Wu Zhonghao admire and respect him from the bottom of his heart.
At that time, many people in the army were of unknown origin and were not firm in their thinking, and occasionally some people defected, and the situation was very critical. Chairman Mao's decisions made on the spur of the moment sometimes did not go through the approval of the people, they were not disputed, and at the same time they were a waste of time. And Wu Zhonghao always stood very firmly on Chairman Mao's side.
Wu Zhonghao followed Chairman Mao in many uprisings and armed struggles, and he fought with the enemy with wits and courage, and courageously and strategically completed all the tasks entrusted by Chairman Mao. When he was not sure, he consulted with Chairman Mao at the first time and then obeyed unconditionally. Because Wu Zhonghao's combat effectiveness is very strong, he has achieved many combat results.
Wu Zhonghao followed Chairman Mao all the way to the revolution, all the way to Jinggangshan, to establish a revolutionary base area. After countless days and nights and the baptism of war, Wu Zhonghao at that time was already a very mature officer of the army and deeply trusted by Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao also felt that he and Wu Zhonghao had similar interests and felt sorry for each other. He has repeatedly praised Wu Zhonghao in public for his good work, his ability to write and fight, and at the same time he has both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, and is a rare talent.
In the course of getting along day and night, Wu Zhonghao and Chairman Mao established a deep revolutionary friendship. Not only in work, but also in life, we often take care of each other. Wu Zhonghao often told Chairman Mao to remember the details of his life such as cold weather and clothes, which made Chairman Mao very moved.
Wu Zhonghao was overworked and could not rest for many years, and his body suddenly became ill and he was admitted to the hospital. When Chairman Mao heard about this incident, he visited him at the first time and told him to listen to the doctor,take his medicine on time, and not to think about military affairs for the time being. After that, Chairman Mao came to chat with him when he had time, afraid that he would be depressed in his illness.
Until Chairman Mao decided to go north, he visited the hospital as usual and told the doctors to take good care of him. Wu Zhonghao said goodbye to Chairman Mao during his illness. Until two months later, Chairman Mao was in a very critical situation on the front line, and there was a lack of personnel support, so he had no choice but to write a letter to ask Wu Zhonghao to come to support.

After Wu Zhonghao received the letter, he began to straighten out the people and horses without saying a word, and went to find Chairman Mao to join him before setting off according to the instructions. Wu Zhonghao rushed to the front line day and night. At that time, he was still very weak, and he was really worried about the safety of Chairman Mao and others, so he was unfortunately ambushed by the enemy on the road and died in the line of duty. He was not yet thirty years old.
When Chairman Mao heard this news, he could not calm down for a long time, tears poured down, and he hid in his room for several days without seeing anyone. Chairman Mao attached great importance to his feelings, and the loss of such a capable general made him even more heartbroken, and the death of such a promising young general was also a major loss to the Communist Party at that time. Wu Zhonghao was worthy of his original intention, and he sacrificed his life and sacrifice heroically.
