Among the founding generals of new China, those who did not have titles were generally transferred to local work, and generally continued to serve in the army after being awarded titles. Even if some generals are transferred to civilian positions after being awarded titles, they are transferred by superiors, rather than individual applications. But there was a general who wanted to play a role in the local area after a few years in the army and applied for a transfer to a local cadre.
He is Zhou Chiping.
Many people will not be too familiar with Zhou Chiping, because he is a cadre from a political worker background, and although he participated in many major wars, many people remember the names of military commanders. Like the Black Blockade Battle, he commanded together with his partner Liang Xingchu, and many people remembered Liang Xingchu, but they were not very familiar with Zhou Chiping.
After liberation, Zhou Chiping served as the political commissar of the air force of the Shenyang Military Region, which belonged to the deputy rank of the Great Military Region, and he served for 4 years. By 1958 he had applied to be transferred from the army to local work, and for various reasons, some said he often had opinions with others, while others said he wanted to contribute to local construction. In short, left the troops.
After he left the army, he went to work in Yunnan, from the Great Northeast to the Great Southwest, a span that was not close on the map. He served as secretary of the Secretariat in Yunnan and became Yan Hongyan's helper.
Because of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, his body was not adapted, and he was transferred from his position for 4 years, serving as the vice minister of labor, and later served as the deputy director of the ministry of metallurgical industry and the deputy leader of the working group stationed at Tsinghua University. Later the working group was dissolved and his job was gone. Has been unemployed.
Later, when the political commissar of the Fuzhou Military Region died, and the political commissar had been hanging in the air, Han Xianchu found Zhou Chiping and hoped that he could come to Fuzhou. It had been 10 years since he had left the army. He served as the political commissar of the Fuzhou Military Region, which belonged to the main post of the Great Military Region, and served for 3 years, and in 1972 he went through the post because he had written a forest article.
He also sought the reaction of his superiors, and a few years later, he retired according to the treatment of the division, and died of illness in 1990.
