Peng Dehuai came to Urumqi, Xinjiang, to inspect, and suddenly found someone holding up his portrait in the crowd of people celebrating, he gradually frowned, stepped forward with an arrow, pointed to his portrait, and said: "This person looks too ugly, you don't hold him across the street!" ”
The story takes place in 1949, when all sectors of society in Xinjiang were immersed in the joy of the founding of New China. On this day, Peng Dehuai came to Urumqi, accompanied by Zhang Zhizhong, Tao Zhiyue and others on both sides, and this sudden situation made the two people scratch their heads. The crowd holding the portrait to celebrate obviously did not recognize Peng Dehuai, and they were also confused and asked in surprise: "What are you going to do!" ”
Before everyone could react, Peng Dehuai actually quickly stepped forward and reached out to tear off the portrait, which shocked the person holding the portrait even more, and grabbed Peng Dehuai and shouted: "Do you know who we are carrying?" This is the commander of the First Field Army, General Peng Dehuai, who is often victorious! When the surrounding masses saw this situation, they also gathered around the place and wanted to catch this "saboteur."
In the face of this situation, Peng Dehuai and his entourage cried and laughed, and busily explained: "Comrades, compatriots, I am Peng Dehuai, the person on this portrait!" ”
The big guys listened to each other and looked at each other, overwhelmed, and the local officials who were traveling with them also rushed out to explain, and everyone knew that the person who wanted to tear off his portrait was really General Peng Dehuai.
At this time, Peng Dehuai looked at the crowd of onlookers gathered and said to everyone emotionally: "You don't have to be afraid, I just want to make a little request for you, don't carry my picture frame back and forth in the future, if you want to lift it, just hold up the portraits of Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, and hold up the red flag symbolizing the revolution!" The crowd heard the words and applauded enthusiastically.
This humble little thing and simple words precisely reflect the low-key and pragmatic feelings of the revolutionary leaders of the mainland and their reverence for the simplicity of the great man.
