Cultivating silently sends affection, and the people are rich and the country is strong and comforting in this life. Today's good to the Chinese list, Ling Yan Ge uploaded the meritorious name.
In China's history of thousands of years, we have experienced fierce wars, and the seclusion of the Qing Dynasty has opened up a gap with the rest of the world, so the Western powers have invaded us on a large scale.
Under the attack of internal and external troubles, people of insight stood up and worked together to build a brand new country.
Later, the war continued, from resisting the aggression of foreign enemies to fighting for national sovereignty, in the process, some people retreated because they could not bear it, and some people always paid the price of their lives for the ideals in their hearts, and struggled unremittingly.
In the history of our revolution, some people have become heroes in the eyes of the country and the people, such as Zhong Wei, who has always struggled unremittingly for the revolutionary cause of our country after joining the Communist Party of China, and is a well-deserved national hero.
However, what people did not expect was that when he was awarded the title in 1955, he was not satisfied with his rank of major general and shouted that he would hang the medal on the dog's tail grass.
Chairman Mao did not delve deeply into Zhong Wei's "unreasonable troublemaking," and after a bitter laugh, he said: "They didn't even want their lives when they started fighting in the war years, but now they have to fight for one star or two stars on their shoulders. ”
However, although Chairman Mao said this, he still gave Lieutenant General Zhong Wei and even the treatment of a general.
So, who is Zhong Wei?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" >, Zhong Wei's revolutionary career</h1>
Zhong Wei, born in 1911, is a native of Pingjiang, Hunan. He was born into a very ordinary family, grew up like other ordinary people, and completed his studies like most people, but he did not grow into an ordinary person because he always had a sense of justice in his heart.
Zhong Wei liked to help the weak and the poor when he was very young, and he could not tolerate unfair things in his eyes, so he was very helpful and often happy because he could help others.
Because of this spirit, Zhong Wei naturally joined the Youth League and became a glorious warrior.
Two years later, Zhong Wei joined the Red Army and became a glorious communist.
In the process of fighting the enemy, because of his firm will, he never yielded to the forces of the other side, and over time, his ability and spirit were revealed, becoming a prominent presence in the team, and won the high recognition and unanimous praise of the generals and men in the army.
Facts have proved that people's evaluation of him is not wrong, because in the difficult and long struggle against the Kuomintang, Zhong Wei has always struggled with all his strength for our army, never lost his temper, and has never compromised.
After our army was "encircled and suppressed," in order to change this passive and backward situation, it launched a struggle against "encirclement and suppression." This process was very difficult and required the concerted efforts of the whole army, and some people charged forward and shouldered heavy burdens.
In the course of several anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns, Zhong Wei was the one who took up the heavy burden, and he led the team several times to rush to the enemy and launch a frontal attack on them.
It is no exaggeration to say that because of his presence, the morale of the army has been greatly improved, and it has played an extraordinary level in combat.
However, what everyone did not expect was that in the process of the fifth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign, an accident suddenly occurred, and because the number of the team was too small, it was violently attacked by the enemy, and the casualties were heavy, and the team had to shift its main position and began a long march.
Twenty-five thousand miles of long march, hearing the ears of young people now, may only be able to sigh a sentence of distance, and the process is indeed unimaginable hardship.
For the soldiers who have truly experienced this long journey, what they have to face is not only the poem's "five ridges and thin waves, and the mud pills of Umeng", but also the enemies that may appear at any time and the wars they will face at any time.
As the director of the Political Department, Zhong Wei not only led the team through many difficulties, but also under the attack of the enemy army, he took the initiative to appear in the enemy's sight as a target, attracting most of their firepower and allowing the army's large troops to advance smoothly.
In the process, Zhong Wei was injured an unknown number of times, and he could hardly find a good place on his body, but even though he was seriously injured, when he learned that their team had finally reached the confluence of northern Shaanxi and the army, he was still happy and almost jumped up.
Because Zhong Wei made great contributions in the course of the Long March, Chairman Mao greatly appreciated him and relied on him even more in the future, and Zhong Wei also did not bear the heavy responsibility and always did his best to contribute to the war in our country.
In the War of Liberation, Zhong Wei once again showed his courageous side of killing the enemy, when he participated in many battles that had a major impact on the situation, and in the process, he insisted on his principles and believed that the enemy should be solved by force.
Therefore, he insisted on fighting in spite of the instructions of his superiors, and in the process of fighting, he reported the situation to his uneasy superiors while fighting, and finally his persistence touched the leadership, even if he violated the military orders and did not pursue him.
After winning the war, Zhong Wei's reputation resounded throughout the army for a while, and he could be said to be the "first person" who dared to disobey military orders, but he had the ability to take responsibility for what he did and beat the enemy to the ground.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > second, hang the medal on the dog's tail grass</h1>
Zhong Wei's personality was too blunt, and the whole army heard about it, and his directness was not only manifested in the march and fighting, but also in the time he was awarded the title in 1955.
At that time, New China had been founded, and it was necessary to award these founding fathers, and Zhong Wei, as a commander, thought that he could get the rank of a general, but he did not think that when the day of the title was awarded, he only got the rank of major general.
The position corresponding to the major general is generally a division commander, Zhong Wei did not know that he had obviously been promoted to a higher position, but his rank had been lowered, and he was extremely dissatisfied with this, so in a fit of anger, he shouted and hung the medal on the dog tail grass in the courtyard.
This behavior can be said to be disrespectful to the military and the country, so when the news spread, he was scolded, but he did not expect Zhong Wei to not enter the oil and salt, and he was not moved at all.
Later, when the news reached Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao cried and laughed and called him over to talk.
At the beginning of the conversation, Chairman Mao said with a bitter smile: I do not understand that these soldiers can abandon everything when China is in difficulty, and they will not hesitate to pay for the country's birth and death, and why when the country is stable and everyone can live a stable and peaceful life, these soldiers are actually worried about their ranks.
In fact, in Chairman Mao's heart, he did not really regard Zhong Wei as a major general, whether it was Zhong Wei's treatment or the work arranged for him, Chairman Mao came according to the standards of a general.
He had high hopes for Zhong Wei, and even directly arranged him to be the chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region, and Zhong Wei also reacted later, regretting his previous words and deeds, and then continued to work hard, doing the tasks that the country needed him to complete in his post.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > three, strict requirements for their own life</h1>
Zhong Wei not only has the spirit of dedication to the country, but also always has strict requirements for himself in terms of being a person, and will never give any special care to his relatives and friends because he is the founding general of the country.
He believes that the state has given him this merit is a recognition of the contributions he has made, but if he exchanges this merit for any convenience and benefits obtained by his family and friends, it is to tarnish this merit and live up to the recognition of the state.
Based on this, Zhong Wei has always maintained an extremely strict family style, not allowing any of his family members to exchange benefits in his name, according to his grandson Zhong Xinsheng, none of their family members have been stained with the light of Grandpa Zhong Wei, nor have they received any special care from him.
The facts are no different from what Zhong Xinsheng said, in the face of his son's repeated requests to let Zhong Wei help find a job, Zhong Wei unceremoniously told him that he was an ordinary farmer in this life, or go home and honestly farm.
Because of this incident, his son's family continued to sell vegetables for a living until the end, and did not get any benefits because of Zhong Wei.
In addition, Zhong Wei himself was extremely incorruptible, and after his death, the only relics that could be sorted out for posterity were a worn-out box, and the half-worn pants and flannel pants inside the box.
It has to be said that Zhong Wei, as the founding father of the people, has shown his righteous heart since he was a child, so he has always maintained his original intention in the revolutionary ranks, constantly struggled for the country to win the war, and never feared bloodshed and injury.
Although when he was awarded the rank in 1955, he shouted that he should hang the medal on the dog's tail because he was not satisfied with his military rank, and Chairman Mao could not help but laugh bitterly after letting him know, but after reacting to it, he regretted his behavior very much, and gladly accepted the rank of major general, and continued to shine in his position and contribute to the country.
In 1984, at the age of 73, General Zhong Wei left us forever because of illness.
He had left too early to take another look at the great rivers and mountains of our country, and had not yet had time to see the prosperity of the motherland today, but if he had known about it, he would have been pleased.
Today's China will no longer experience war, the Chinese people will no longer endure the suffering of the past, we are living a good life, and we have a bright and smooth future.
It is precisely because of the existence of China like General Zhong Wei that we can grow up in such a peaceful and prosperous country, so we should remember the contributions made by our predecessors, follow their example, regard the prosperity and strength of the country as our own responsibility, and dedicate our own strength to the future of the country.
