The story of the revolutionary ancestors can really bring tears to people's eyes no matter how many times they repeat it. If they had not shed their heads and blood and contributed to the cause of liberation, where would we have gained the new life we have now? General Yu Qiuli, on the other hand, can definitely be one of their representative figures. The founding lieutenant general, known as the "one-armed general", has a legendary life and is full of glory, and his descendants have not lived up to their father's reputation, and each of them is worthy of his heart.
One-Armed General
Yu Qiuli was born in an extremely poor village, and in the era of changing times and wars, children in a family like him who were exhausted did not even have a name. Now Yu Qiuli's name was given to him by the instructor when he joined the Red Army.
At that time, Yu Qiuli was only 15 years old, and he probably did not know much about the significance of the revolution, but he understood that this team could make a poor family like him no longer be bullied by landlords and warlords. But this most simple and loyal enthusiasm also contributed to his revolutionary cause, he was active, brave, and repeatedly made meritorious contributions, and slowly became the leading figure in the Red Army corps.
However, the Red Army, a young and freedom-hungry army, suffered from the exclusion and hatred of many forces in the process of development. In 1935, after resisting many encirclements and suppressions, the Red Army unfortunately failed, and in order to preserve its strength and develop again, the mighty Long March began.
That is, on the Long March Road, Yu Qiuli unfortunately lost his left arm.
In the Umong Mountains of Yunnan, where the march reached Yunnan, in the rugged area known as the Umeng Majestic Mud Pill, the enemy pursued them. Yu Qiuli and the regimental commander Cheng Jun went to meet the battle, and while protecting the regimental commander, Yu Qiuli's left arm was shot, bleeding so much that he fainted on the spot.
However, the Red Army at that time lacked medical supplies, and Yu Qiuli did not want to be a burden to the whole team due to injury, so he made an awe-inspiring choice - marching with a seriously wounded arm. With this move, we can feel great pain when we think about it a little, and Yu Qiuli is enduring the piercing pain of drilling and climbing through the snowy mountains and meadows, how strong and strong he is!
Therefore, with this righteous spirit, even if Yu Qiuli loses an arm, he can continue to contribute to the revolutionary cause, and the title of "one-armed general" is a special honor, not a lament for a hero.
Builder of the new Chinese petroleum industry
After losing his left arm, Yu Qiuli had to say goodbye to the battlefield he had in mind. However, this does not mean that he has since withdrawn from the cause of liberation. You must know that a good soldier is easy to ask for, and a good officer is hard to find, and the knowledge of combat and command that is portrayed in Yu Qiuli's mind is priceless.
Although it was no longer possible to take up arms and engage the enemy head-on, the legions entrusted by Yu Qiuli had been building miracles on the battlefield. From the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to the War of Liberation, Yu Qiuli never retreated to the second line and has been contributing to the liberation of the people and the future of the country.
And after we ushered in the dawn of victory and entered the era of peace, the one-armed general did not disarm and return to the field to live an idle life. He took over the development of the new Chinese petroleum industry, a hot potato, and with the spirit of militarization, let us, an oil-poor country, build an oil factory that has attracted worldwide attention.
The petroleum industry is a completely unfamiliar field for Yu Qiuli, for which he has devoted a lot of time and energy to learning from experts in oil exploration and geological theory, and actively calls on workers to participate in production and never give up. In the end, Daqing Oilfield was born in the cheers of the whole country.
The significance of Daqing oilfield put into use is far more than just to alleviate the shortage of oil in China, it is also a symbol of China's modern industrialization process, which began, the people are full of confidence and expectations for industrialization, and China's economy is also thriving.
Just when our lives were gradually improving and the motherland was becoming more and more developed, General Yu Qiuli unfortunately died of illness, only 10 months away, and he was able to witness the arrival of the millennium, which was a pity.
Respectable descendants
The death of General Yu Qiuli is a great regret for us, but what has passed away is only his body and not his spirit, the spirit of the revolutionary ancestors still continues in the hearts of each of us, and his children have not lived up to their father's good reputation.
General Yu Qiuli's family is a large family of seven people. His wife, Liu Suge, like him, was a revolutionary, and the two met in the barracks, and they were good comrades-in-arms who could fight side by side, and they were also confidants who could be in the same boat. After their marriage, the two had four daughters and a son, and both were lucky enough to grow up in the chaotic world.
His four daughters did not hold any prominent positions because of their father's relationship when they grew up. In this regard, General Yu Qiuli is definitely one of the most incorruptible, and his nephews and nieces have sought him for help when they were admitted to the military academy, but he has refused with "doing his duty and obeying the destiny of heaven".
Therefore, his daughters all adhered to the father's down-to-earth and principle of serving the people, working diligently in their posts and living an ordinary life. Their younger brother, on the other hand, embarked on the same path as his father and joined the army to become a glorious soldier.
Moreover, he, Yu Hao, as the only son of General Yu Qiuli, inherited his father's blood nature, was born proud and righteous, never relied on opportunism, but improved himself step by step, whether it was copywriting work or frontline struggle, he never refused. With such efforts, he finally achieved the position of staff officer and did not insult his father's reputation.
End
Although the war years are getting farther and farther away from us, and there are fewer and fewer revolutionary ancestors who are still alive today, their spirit and deeds will always be passed on in the hearts of each of us. Just like General Yu Qiuli, he was born into poverty and suffered a devastating blow in the middle, but this did not stop his patriotic love. We should learn from his tenacity and perseverance, and strive to build our motherland, so as to comfort their heroic spirits.
