In watching the ancient drama, we see that the prince in the play must kneel on one knee when he sees the emperor, sincerely perform a salute, and call the father and emperor. It can be seen that in the ancient feudal imperial society, the monarchs and subjects were still called the lord by kinship.
The traditional idea that the elderly are respected and His Holiness is the first has been deeply rooted in our country, and these famous sayings have naturally had the meaning and truth of circulation to this day.
So after the founding of New China, when some people's identities clashed, how were these problems resolved? When there is a contradiction between family identity and government identity, how to choose? Do they still have to perform rituals between them?
Founding son-in-law
At 5:00 p.m. on September 27, 1955, the conferment ceremony of the People's Republic of China was solemnly held in the Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, in which more than a thousand famous founding fathers were born in China, and behind each military rank was a legendary story of deep blood boiling.
Their lives were irrigated by the boiling blood of the revolution, and then the blood was sprinkled back on the battlefield of the revolution, and they were unstoppable and unbeatable. After the founding of New China, this was not only a compliment, but also a recognition of the motherland's great dedication to them, and this awarding ceremony also greatly improved our party's military and political system.
Among the more than a thousand founding generals in China, there are also some heroic families who have won the honor, for example, there are two pairs of famous founding sons-in-law, they are The Father-in-Law Zhou Shidi and son-in-law Peng Fujiu, son-in-law He Bingyan and Father-in-law Jiang Qixian.
We may as well say the result first, as long as it is about military politics, no matter when and where they are, they must perform military duties when they meet, which is a rule that must be adhered to in the military. The army is not home, and it must abide by the party system and discipline.
Zhou Shidi and Peng Fujiu
Zhou Shidi graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, joined the Communist Party of China in 1924 to devote himself to the revolution, the old man has rich revolutionary experience and countless achievements in this life, the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Uprising, the Long March, etc. have appeared in his courageous figure.
He also assisted Xu in the Battle of Jinzhong in planning the Troops, served as the commander of the first battalion of the Ye Ting Independent Regiment, and even surpassed the Ten Marshals in the early stages of the revolution.
His son-in-law Peng Fujiu joined the Red Army at the age of 14, and although he had a slight lack of combat experience compared with his father-in-law, he was also rich in revolutionary qualifications, and he joined the Long March as a teenager and later became an intelligence commissioner of the Communist Party.
Peng Fujiu intercepted and deciphered an important Kuomintang intelligence in June 1935, and after receiving this information, the Red Army quickly dispatched troops to the scene, successfully annihilated the Kuomintang 41st Division, and captured Zhang Zhenhan, a senior Kuomintang officer.
In October 1947, during the Battle of Qingfengdian, Nie Rongzhen said anxiously: "The most important thing for us to win this battle lies in whether Comrade Peng Fujiu can crack the enemy's telegram. Peng Fujiu also lived up to the expectations of the people, cracking the overall combat plan of the Kuomintang army's Third Army stationed in Shijiazhuang in one fell swoop, and played a decisive role in the victory of the campaign.
In the Battle of Hengbao in June 1949, Peng Fujiu was ordered to intercept Bai Chongxi's strategic deployment plan, and he laid out the trajectory of Bai Chongxi's activities that he had captured in recent times on a table and made a meticulous analysis, and finally he believed that Bai Chongxi had returned to his hometown of Guangxi.
After strengthening his mind, he reported it to the party organization. As expected, the Fourth Field Army formulated a strategic plan based on Peng Fujiu's operational analysis and successfully annihilated Bai Chongxi's troops.
Zhou Shidi heard about the many deeds of Peng Fujiu in the army, praised him, led them to meet with the consent of his daughter Zhou Boya, and finally successfully walked together. At the later award ceremony, Peng Fujiu was awarded the rank of major general and Zhou Shidi was awarded the rank of general.
Jiang Qixian and He Bingyan
If the above pair of generals after meeting, whether it is a military salute or a family gift is a matter of course, then the following pair may be a little embarrassed after the meeting, because Jiang Qixian is a major general, and the son-in-law He Bingyan is a general.
Jiang Qixian is a famous battlefield doctor in China, he was born in The Town of Shentong, Xiangxiang County, Hunan Province, compared to the fierce-blooded soldiers who held guns and cannons on the battlefield and were enthusiastic, Jiang Qixian was a battlefield doctor who held a calm scalpel behind the battlefield of our army and saved the soldiers from hell.
As one of the few medical materials in our army at that time, Jiang Qixian successively served as the minister of health of the First Front of the Red Army, the vice minister of the Central Military Commission, and the minister of the General Health Department of our country, and even Chairman Mao praised his superb medical skills.
On the occasion of Jiang Qixian's mother's 70th birthday, Chairman Mao personally presented a birthday gift. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jiang Qixian was appointed vice minister of the Central Military Commission and minister of health. He was also selected as a major general at the conferment ceremony.
He Bingyan joined the Red Army at the age of 16, and since joining the Red Army, he has taken the lead in every battle. In the duel with the enemy, he fought until he ran out of ammunition and even fought with a kitchen knife, so he suffered many wounds in the long battle, according to statistics, there were 11 wounds and 16 knife scars on his body.
He Bingyan unfortunately suffered a serious injury to his right arm in the Battle of Wawutang, but at that time the war was tight, and in the absence of anesthesia and any pain relief measures, he endured severe pain and sawed off his arm with a saw from logging, so he was also respected as the "one-armed general".
He Bingyan was not only brave and fearless on the battlefield, but also the object of organizational key cultivation, in 1940 he was arranged to study military affairs in Yan'an, and then worked in the Central Party School for many years.
He Bingyan once had a marriage, his wife was named Lan Liangxiu, and he gave birth to a daughter named He Leizhen. However, due to the uncertain situation in the turbulent times that followed, Lan Liangxiu chose to leave the family and remarry someone else in 1935.
Later, in the military hospital, He Bingyan became acquainted with the military doctor Jiang Ping, and after the two met, they fell in love at first sight, gradually fell in love, and married soon after. And Jiang Ping is the daughter of Jiang Qixian.
brief summary:
There is no doubt that the military salute is a rule that must be observed in the army, the army is a sacred and solemn place, it is not allowed to act with private feelings and life, one is one or two, first of all, to abide by military discipline, is the soldier.
But after taking off their military uniforms, after the family is reunited, they will still live in harmony, without rules and circles, which is a fine tradition in China for thousands of years.
