During the period of China's revolutionary war, there were countless revolutionary martyrs who dedicated their lives to the country, but due to the chaos of the revolutionary years, many of the proof materials were all destroyed in the war, and in the process of the transfer of troops, some people were plagued by injuries and illnesses and left the troops, so that after the founding of New China, the historical reasons could not be explained, and they understood certain pressures, and the reasons were not explained until decades later.
Hou Lixiang was born in 1912, a native of Jiangling County, in his early years he studied in a private school, because his life was very poor, so he left his hometown at the age of 15 to earn a living, but it was in the process of tossing and turning, gradually came into contact with some revolutionary ideas, in May 1928, Hou Lixiang went to Jiangxi to participate in the revolution, and joined the Red Army, becoming an ordinary soldier in the Red Army.
Because he was very tenacious in battle, Hou Lixiang was later further born, and later after the formation of the Red First Army, Hou Lixiang served as a battalion commander in the subordinate regiment, and the regimental commander at that time was Yang Dezhi, and later Yang Dezhi served as the commander of the first division, and Hou Lixian served as the commander of the regiment. Later, he was seriously injured many times in the course of the Long March, but he always insisted that after the Long March meeting, Hou Lixiang was assigned to work under Chen Geng and, after being reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, served as the deputy commander of the Central Military Commission and the First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
In fact, if it develops smoothly in this way, Hou Lixiang should always be after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and will be awarded military ranks, but because he was too seriously injured on the battlefield, so afraid of affecting the work, the superiors also decided to transfer him to work in the rear after full consideration, in 1939 Hou Lixiang left the Eighth Route Army, through the arrangement of the Chongqing office of the Eighth Route Army, returned to his hometown, and engaged in underground work, and his ostensible identity was the Kuomintang security chief and the director of the joint security.
However, due to the serious damage to the underground party organization later, Hou Lixiang lost contact with the organization, and after the founding of New China, because he had held a position in the Kuomintang, he was targeted, but Hou Lixiang himself was a party member, and later wrote to Yang Dezhi, Yang Yong and other superiors of that year many times, asking for proof of his identity, until after the seventies, he restored the identity and treatment of the old Red Army.
In fact, the reason why there was an omission was mainly because of the revolutionary war years, the loss of information and other reasons, Hou Lixiang in the Red Army period, because he was often called Li Xiang, so in the later registration and registration of the record, his name was written as "Li Xiang", so that he left the Eighth Route Army and returned to his hometown, so that no one knew where he went at that time, and thought that he had sacrificed, but fortunately, in the end, all the facts were clear, and Hou Lixiang could finally enjoy his old age in peace.
