In the Exhibition Hall of Marshal Luo Ronghuan's Life And Achievements, a sculpture with the theme of "A Bowl of Turtle Soup" is displayed, which tells the story of Luo Ronghuan's concern for the masses, love for the masses, and unity of the military and the people during the Shandong War of Resistance. This themed sculpture, donated by Shandong University, was displayed in November 2002 when the 100th anniversary of the birth of Comrade Luo Ronghuan and the exhibition hall of marshal Luo Ronghuan's life and achievements were opened to the public.
The story of a bowl of stewed turtle soup, which took place in the anti-Japanese base area of Shandong, is still widely circulated throughout the country.
In March 1943, Luo Ronghuan was appointed commander and political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, and at the same time served as the political commissar and acting commander of the 115th Division. In August, Luo Ronghuan was appointed secretary of the Shandong Branch of the CPC Central Committee. Since then, the heavy responsibility of leading the party, government, and army in Shandong has fallen on the shoulders of Luo Ronghuan, who is seriously ill. Due to his long-term fatigue, harsh life and poor medical conditions, he suffered from aggravated uremia, and often lay on a stretcher to march and command battles.
In the early morning of May 14, 1945, Luo Ronghuan led the Shandong Branch of the CPC Central Committee and the organs of the Shandong Military Region to start an anti-"sweeping" operation and moved east to the Steep Mountain Sub-camp. On the 22nd, we went to the village of Lower River.
Xiahe Village belongs to Jubin District, Junan County, Shandong. At that time, Luo Ronghuan was stationed at teng dongyu's house in Xiahe Village. Although Luo Ronghuan was in a high position, like ordinary soldiers, he wore a faded military uniform, covered with patched quilts, and ate sorghum pancakes and pickles. Even if he is seriously ill and urgently needs to strengthen nutrition, he will never allow specialization. This can upset the staff around you. To improve his life, but not to allow the idea of beating the public, where to find nutritional products to nourish his body?
The opportunity has finally arrived! The river port of Xiahe Village is dense, and when Luo Ronghuan was stationed at Teng Dongyu's house in Xiahe Village, it was the early summer season. Wang Dunyun, a staff member around him, and Yan Fugui, used the rest time to go to the river in the east of the village to touch fish and shrimp, trying to try their luck, and unexpectedly touched a turtle.
Turtles have been regarded as nourishing nutraceuticals since ancient times. Wang Dunyun and Yan Fugui and the other staff immediately hit it off and made a bowl of fragrant, steaming stewed turtle soup for Luo Ronghuan to supplement his body.
Luo Ronghuan took the turtle soup and was just about to drink it, but without hesitation, he put the bowl down. He told Wang Dunyun and Yan Fugui to give the turtle soup to the old lady of the landlord Teng Dongyu. The old man was also seriously ill at this time, or Luo Ronghuan arranged for the hygienist to see the illness for the eldest bride, and he knew that her old man also needed to supplement nutrition.
When the old man saw the turtle soup sent by Wang Dunyun and Yan Fugui, he was very excited, saying that he didn't want anything, and he struggled to let them help him come to see Commander Luo, and said excitedly: "Commander Luo, this is absolutely impossible, you are the commander of the Eighth Route Army, you have drunk and raised your body, and you can command the troops to fight the devils.
Luo Ronghuan said to the old lady emotionally: "Old sister, you must drink, the Eighth Route Army and the common people are a family, you are our food and clothing parents!"
The old man couldn't resist Commander Luo and drank the turtle soup. After recovering from her illness, the old lady boasted to everyone: "My life was saved by Commander Luo, and the Eighth Route Army is good to our people!"
In the Shandong base area, Luo Ronghuan also adopted the policy of rent reduction and interest rate reduction to let the people get benefits, so that the people could understand that Shandong was "the Red Army of Jinggangshan and Luo Ronghuan of Pingguan." The masses of the people in Shandong followed the Communist Party and the people's army with an iron heart, composing one song after another: "A piece of cloth is made into military uniforms, a bag of rice is used for military food, and the last son is sent to the battlefield" and "there are red wives in the townships and villages, and there are martyrs in the villages." From mid-August to the end of September, Luo Ronghuan commanded the Shandong military and civilian counterattack and won the final victory in the Shandong War of Resistance Against Japan.
In his 8 years in Shandong, Luo Ronghuan displayed superb political talent and military talent, making Shandong an important strategic base for our party and our army. Chairman Mao once spoke highly of Luo Ronghuan's achievements in Shandong: Shandong only replaced one Luo Ronghuan, and the overall chess game will be alive. Shandong's chess is alive, and the whole country's chess is also alive.
