Among the thousands of revolutionary ancestors, there are many legendary figures, although they have very close relations with Chairman Mao, Zhu De, and other revolutionary troops of the older generation, but they did not use this relationship as a springboard to obtain high-ranking official positions.
The legendary general I want to introduce today once participated in the Guangzhou Uprising, and even the bright red tie worn on the neck of the rebel army was designed and organized by him.
Because he was intelligent and studious since childhood, he loved calligraphy and painting, and he became a literary friend of Mao Zedong during the Yan'an period.
This legendary general is Zhu Guang.
Zhu Guang, born in November 1906 in Bobai County, Guangzhou, was admitted to the Guangxi Provincial No. 2 Senior High School in 1926, went to Shanghai to work as an underground traffic officer after participating in the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, and in 1931 became the chief of the Propaganda Section of the General Political Department of the Red Fourth Front.
However, what Zhu Guang did not expect was that he actually took the long march with shackles, because at the "Xiaohekou Conference" of the Red Fourth Front, Zhu Guang was beaten into prison as a "Luo Zhanglong element" and was almost killed tragically because he criticized Zhang Guotao's flying paternalistic style.
During the Long March, although Zhu Guang wore shackles, wherever the troops went, the slogans he wrote were posted and the revolutionary ideas were propagated.
After arriving in northern Shaanxi, Zhu Guangcai was revoked.
In Yan'an, because of his talent in propaganda, Zhu Guang was transferred to the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, and later, Chairman Mao personally made Zhu Guang prepare for the establishment of the Lu Xun Art Academy and the Central Marxist-Leninist Academy, and was also responsible for the work of the drama group of the China Literary and Art Association, especially to commemorate the 6th anniversary of the Songhu War of Resistance.
Snow's wife, Helen. Snow wrote in "The Journey to the West": "The Red Army has two talents, one is Liao Chengzhi and the other is Zhu Guang. ”
It is precisely because of this that Mao Zedong and Zhu Guang, who know and love talent, have become good friends.
Zhu Guang and Mao Zedong's conversations have always been unrestrained, and because of their common love of literature, Mao Zedong often said to the people around him: "Zhu Guang and I are still in harmony with each other and have the same style of writing!" ”
In 1938, Zhu Guang married Yu Xiu, a young student who had defected to the revolution from Hong Kong, in Yan'an, for whom Mao Zedong personally served as a witness.
In May 1938, zhu Guang, who had recently been married, went to the anti-Japanese front line in taihang Mountain as the secretary of Zhu De's commander-in-chief, during which time, after in-depth research, Zhu Guang drafted the "Interim Regulations on the Work of Political Instructors" and "Regulations on the Work of Party Branches of Companies" after in-depth research, which were highly affirmed by the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, and promulgated and implemented by Chairman Mao Zedong.
After Japan's unconditional surrender in August 1945, Zhu Guang worked under Lin Biao as the first mayor of Qiqihar and left the army.
In 1949, when the founding of the People's Republic of China was imminent, Zhu Guang successively served as the secretary of the Changchun Municipal Party Committee, the mayor of Guangzhou, the vice governor of Guangdong Province, and the vice governor of Anhui Province.
Zhu Guang died in Hefei in 1969 at the age of 63.
