Why did Su Yu run away from home?
On February 5, 1984, Su Yu, the founding general of the People's Republic of China, died in Beijing due to illness, and after 60 years of leaving home, Su Yu did not return to his hometown to see him once until his death. Why didn't Su Yu go home when he became the founding general? What's the implication? Before the story begins, I hope that the officials can pay a little attention, and the answer will be revealed immediately.
Teenager Su Yu
Su Yu was born on August 10, 1907 in Huaihua City, Hunan Province, and his original name was Su Duozhen. Huaihua is a multi-ethnic mountain city, there are 13 counties, inhabited by Miao, Dong, Yao, Tujia and other 46 ethnic minorities, accounting for about 40% of the total population, Su Yu has always thought that he is Han Chinese, and later after research he is a general from the Dong ethnic group.
Many of the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation came from poor backgrounds, from not having enough to eat and wearing, but Su Yu was in a better condition than them, and came from a relatively wealthy family.
Su Yu's father, Su Jiahui, was a fallen talent, honest and honest, wrote well, and often helped his neighbors write couplets and letters. When Su Yu was born, his father Su Jiahui gave him a nickname of "Jiye", that is, he hoped that Su Yu could inherit the family business and live a peaceful and stable life, at that time, he never expected that his son would actually embark on the path of sword and light sword shadow.
Su Yu had a second uncle named Su Zhouzhen, and unlike Su Yu's father, the second uncle went to Changsha to study when he was young, received a new-style education, and later returned to his hometown to establish a school, actively spreading democratic and innovative ideas to the villagers, Su Yu under the influence of the second uncle had a yearning for revolution.
Su Yu
Although Su Yu's father is a reader, but Su Yu does not like to listen to anything, like to listen to strange people and strange things that are out of the ordinary, it just so happens that there is a long-term worker in Su Yu's family named Atuo, who usually looks thick, and when he talks about the good man in the green forest, his head is Tao, and he paints colorfully, and Su Yu often pesters him to tell stories to himself.
After dinner, Atuo found a place to sit down and told his little young master Su Yu about various heroes and good men, and Atuo said: "There is a strange man named 'Flying on the Grass', who can do light feats, can travel thousands of miles a day and travel eight hundred at night, and runs fast with the grass tip, which is even more powerful than the good Han Shenxing Taibao of Liangshan. ”
The story of the good man of Liangshan is well known, Su Yu often listens to their stories, "flying on the grass" is more powerful than the good man of Liangshan, that is so great, Su Yu listened while thinking out of his mind, it seems that a "scud" dressed in black and flashing in front of his eyes really appeared.
Shenxing Taibao Daizong
After listening to this story, Su Yu felt that he was not addicted, and within a few days he continued to pestering Atuo to tell him about other heroes and good men, and Atuo had no choice but to tell a story of "a plum". "Once upon a time, there was a good man who was strong in martial arts and uncertain in his whereabouts, who liked to rob the rich and help the poor the most, and every time he taught the bully who oppressed the common people, he would draw a plum blossom on the wall of the bully's home. The government sent many people to catch him, so that the bullies were terrified when they saw the plum blossoms, and the people clapped their hands and applauded, and everyone called him 'a plum'. ”
Su Yu listened to the fascination and secretly swore in his heart that when he grew up, he would also be such a chivalrous guest, coming and going without a trace, specializing in fighting bullies and seeking justice for the common people.
In 1916, Su Yu was 9 years old, because of the death of his grandfather, his father and uncle separated the family, and the 8 members of Su Yu's family were divided into about 30 acres of land, and the family's income began to decline. Later, in order to avoid the bandits, his father Su Jia would move into the city with his family, and after building a new house, the Su family owed more than a hundred silver dollars, and their lives were tight, often eating sour and spicy seeds and dried vegetables, and the mother also reminded several children to "watch the dishes and eat." ”
Su Yu has been intelligent and clever since childhood, and his hands-on ability is extremely strong, and he has seen what he has learned, and he has learned everything in a similar way. In the summer, the weather is hot, sitting still can sweat, the young Su Yu will float the bamboo mat on the creek, lie on it to cool down; see some people in the village play chess, they use broken bowls and mud to make chess pieces; after watching others cut their hair a few times, they learned, often cut the hair of the hired workers at home, saw the small bamboo barrel into a round comb to comb the hair of the family; also do needlework, help his mother mend clothes, make socks; see his mother because of the inconvenience of foot binding, Su Yu made a stool, this stool Su Yu's mother has been using for more than thirty years.

At the same time, Su Yu is also a somewhat "rebellious" child, he feels that he can't see a broader world in the mountains, he wants to go out to study, the situation was turbulent at that time, his parents were worried that Su Yu was not safe to go out, and wanted him to stay at home, Su Yu was very depressed about it. In 1924, Su Yu applied for the Hunan Provincial Second Normal School and wanted to study in Changde, because he was worried about his father's obstruction, the young and vigorous Su Yu actually left home without saying goodbye, but su Yu encountered a big problem halfway through, and his entanglement was not enough. Su Yu thought about it and was not willing to go home like this, so he wrote a letter to the family, in which he asked his father to send him some money as a travel expense, and if he did not send it, he would beg for food to go to Changde.
Su Jiahui thought that his son was sleeping outside, and he was so distressed that he asked Su Yu's brother to take Su Yu back and promised never to interfere in Su Yu's study again. After Su Yu returned, his father made up enough money for him to pay for the road, and invited some villagers to send su Yu off. When parting, Su Yu was full of ambition, but Su Jiahui was wet with tears, and when the child grew up, he would eventually be separated from his parents and pursue his own life.
In this way, Su Yu left his parents and left his hometown and embarked on the road of going out to study.

Why did Su Yu's father dress up as a beggar?
After entering the school, Su Yu accepted the new ideas, and he hated the dark system of the old society even more, he sympathized with the suffering of the people at the bottom, wanted to overthrow the mountain that weighed on the people's heads, so he actively participated in the progressive movement and ran for the people.
Su Yu (second person from the left)
In the spring of 1925, Su Yu was admitted to the Second Provincial Division, but it was not long before the progressive principal of the school was brutally persecuted by the enemy, and for safety, Su Yu and other progressive students had to move to Wuchang, and Su Yu entered the Yeting 24th Division Teaching Brigade as the leader of the cadet class. Here, Su Yu's belief in serving the country and the people is even stronger, remembering the heroic stories he heard as a child, Su Yu is determined to use his own strength to punish the people and eliminate adultery.
In the summer of 1926, Su Yu took advantage of the summer vacation to return home, did not expect someone to inform the enemy, Su Yu was hunted down, had to hurry back to school, this time left, Su Yu never returned to his hometown.
When the enemy came to Su Yu's house, he did not find Su Yu, so he set his sights on Su Yu's father, Su Jiahui, arrested Su Jiahui and tortured him to force him to confess, and asked him to tell Su Yu's whereabouts, Su Jia would say that he did not know, and the enemy also demanded that Su Jiahui find Su Yu within three days, otherwise he would kill him, and Su Jia would say: "You lock me up, where will I go to find someone?" ”
In order to find Su Yu, the enemy released Su Jiahui, but how could Su Jiahui help the enemy capture his son, as soon as he gained freedom, he took the opportunity to run out, but when he thought that his son was still being hunted, he had to grasp the enemy's movements, so he ran back again, built a shed in a vegetable field not far from home, pretended to be a beggar, and watched the enemy closely.
Su Jiahui's health was not good in the first place, and in this case, it was even worse, and he soon fell ill, but he could not expose his tracks, so he had to choose to silently endure the torment of illness. Su Yu's mother had lost the news of her son and husband, and her heart was worried, one day she came to the vegetable field to work, and found that the unkempt beggar was actually her husband, so she often used the pretext of working in the vegetable field to deliver food to her husband.
The enemy was very angry when he learned that he had been put by Su Jiahui, and came to Su Yu's house for three days to search and arrest them, taking advantage of the opportunity to smash and loot, in order to let them leave, Su Yu's mother had to squeeze out money to send them, and the living conditions became more and more difficult. Before long, su Jiahui, who was seriously ill, could not eat, and he knew that his time was short, so he secretly sneaked back to his home in the county town at night and died at the age of 43.
Su Yu's brother Su Pei was also in a bad situation, and the enemy could not find Su Jiahui, so he found Su Pei and forced him to ask where Su Yu was, and Su Pei also fled under the pretext of going out to look for Su Yu, and he ran far and fled all the way to Changsha. During his time in Changsha, Su Pei was worried about the situation of his father and brother Su Yu day and night, not knowing whether they were safe or not, and desperately wanted to go home.
Knowing that the Northern Expeditionary Army had entered his hometown, Su Pei quickly returned from Changsha, sold most of his family's land, and planned to join the Northern Expeditionary Army, but Su Pei was a little hesitant, after all, fighting is not a child's play, and if he is not careful, he will bleed and die. Until the death of his father Su Jiahui, Su Pei finally strengthened his determination that if he could not overthrow the dark rule of the warlords, there would be countless people like his father who would be persecuted, so he joined the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Northern Expeditionary Army
After the end of the Northern Expedition, Su Pei returned to his hometown and successively worked in the clerical office of the Railway Bureau, the Minxin Newspaper, and other places, but since then he has broken off contact with his younger brother Su Yu, and he does not know whether Su Yu is alive or dead now, and how he is living.

Why did Su Yu not return to his hometown until his death?
In 1926, Su Yu left home in a hurry because he was hunted down by the enemy, but he did not give up the revolutionary cause, and in November of the same year, Su Yu joined the Communist Youth League, and in June of the following year, Su Yu transferred to the Communist Party of China and officially became a party member.
On August 1, 1927, Su Yu participated in the famous Nanchang Uprising, serving as the guard squad leader of the general headquarters in the rebel army, which was the prelude to the armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries and the starting point for the Communist Party to independently lead the armed struggle. For Su Yu, this was not only an uprising in which he personally participated, but also the beginning of his effective work for the people and the realization of his patriotic ideals.
In January 1928, Su Yu came to Jinggangshan after participating in the Shonan Uprising, and from 1929 onwards, he gradually emerged on the battlefield and made many achievements, from battalion commander and regiment commander all the way to division commander and chief of staff, deep organizational trust. Su Yu's father was a reader, and his mother was oppressed by feudal dogma, but he came out of such a family, but he had extraordinary military talents, often able to defeat the enemy unexpectedly and fight many beautiful battles. Chairman Mao once praised Su Yu as the most capable of fighting under his command, and even in his later years he still said that if he fought a war, he would still use Su Yu.
Jinggangshan will be a teacher
After leaving home, Su Yu did not miss his relatives at home, but he never found the opportunity to go back. On the one hand, there were frequent wars in the revolutionary years, and there was no time to be found; on the other hand, Su Yu was worried that he would once again implicate his family when he returned.
In 1935, the Long March of the Red Sixth Army passed through Huitong, because the commander Xiao Ke and Su Yu were good friends and knew that Huitong was Su Yu's hometown, so they specially sent people to find Su Yu's family and relayed the news of Su Yu to them. The Red Army found a passerby and asked him, "Do you know Su Yu?" It just so happened that this person had worked in Su Yu's house, and smiled: "Of course I know, the little young master of the Su family!" The Red Army asked him to tell Su Yu's family that Everything was fine for Su Yu and not to worry.

Su Yu's mother has been staying in her hometown, and she can't help but cry with joy when she hears Su Yu's news, although she has not been able to see her son in person, but she can finally relax her heart a little when she knows that her son is still safe. At this time, Su Yu was engaged in guerrilla warfare with the enemy in the Xianxialing area of southwest Zhejiang, drilling ravines and digging wild vegetables every day, eating up and down, and after today there was no tomorrow, and the combat conditions were extremely difficult. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Su Yu made contact with his family, but not long after the Anhui Incident broke out, the relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were extremely tense, and Su Yu broke off contact with his family.
In 1949, Su Yu, as deputy commander and second deputy political commissar of the Third Field Army, liberated Shanghai, and his nephew who was studying in Shanghai found him and told Su Yu that his mother was still alive. After more than twenty years away from home, Su Yu was most worried about his mother at home, and the most sorry was also his mother, because he was busy fighting, Su Yu not only failed to fulfill his filial piety at his mother's knees, but even a trip home became a luxury, and now that the liberation war has come to an end, Su Yu quickly arranged for someone to take his mother to his side.
In 1951, when Su Yu and his subordinates were chatting about the past of their youth, they suddenly wanted to go back to their hometown to see, and their subordinates replied with a smile: "Chief, you want to go back to your hometown, and it is estimated that you need a strengthened company escort to get through Xuefeng Mountain." "The place where Su Yu lives is seriously plagued by bandits, and Xuefeng Mountain is the only way for Su Yu to return to his hometown, although New China has specially sent troops to suppress bandits, but no one can guarantee that there are no bandits hidden in the Xuefeng Mountain with complicated terrain."
Snow Peak Mountain
Although Su Yu wanted to go back to see at this time, but as soon as he thought of mobilizing so many people to protect himself, Su Yu gave up, he was not a person who was willing to cause trouble to the organization, so it was not in line with his style.
After that, Su Yu's work has been very busy, not to mention going back to his hometown, that is, there is no time to miss home, plus Su Yu has been injured because of perennial marching and fighting, and his health is not good, and the matter of returning to his hometown has been shelved.
In the early 1980s, Su Yu went to the hospital because of a cerebral hemorrhage, he felt that he might run out of time, and wanted to go back to his hometown before that, the doctor said that his physical condition was not suitable for traveling far, and needed to recuperate, and reported his request to the central government. After considering this, the central authorities decided to send Su Yu's old subordinate Zhang Zhen to return to his hometown for him and take some photos to show Su Yu.
Zhang Zhen received the order to immediately leave for Su Yu's hometown, not only took a lot of photos, but also brought back many hometown specialties to Su Yu, all of which were sent by the villagers after learning of Zhang Zhen's identity and purpose. Su Yu looked at the familiar scenery of his hometown, as if he had returned to the place where he had grown up, and the great general who had been fighting horses all his life was happy like a child at the moment.
In his later years, Su Yu
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > conclusion</h1>
People often say that where the roots are, even if they are wandering away all their lives, they want to go back to their hometown to see it in their old age, which is the homesickness of the homeland. Although Su Yu has not been able to return home for sixty years, he has fought for the country all his life and made great achievements, and the people in his hometown will always remember him, and the motherland will always remember him.
