In September 1970, the leading group of the Political Department of the Fuzhou Military Region was adjusted, the original director and deputy director were promoted to deputy political commissar of the military region, and the airborne Yin Fatang served as the director of the political department.
The deputy director is equivalent to the post of regular army, and the higher authorities are preparing to transfer Song Qingwei, head of the cadre department of the military district, to serve as deputy director and head of the cadre department.
For the promotion of the position, it seems to outsiders to be very envious, but Song Qingwei does not think so, the most fundamental reason is that he has shallow qualifications and is afraid of disobeying the public.
He participated in the revolution in 1944 and worked in the organs in the early days of the Liberation War, and was later transferred to the combat unit as a company instructor. After the establishment of the 10th Corps, he served as an officer in the Corps organ, and has been in the organ for more than ten years.
After 1962, he served as the political commissar of the regiment for five years, and the political commissar of the division for a few months, and was transferred to the head of the cadre department of the military region. He served as the political commissar of the division in 1969, when he was only 40 years old.
At the age of 40, he became a full teacher, and it is not good to compare with the generals of the war years, and it seems too big. Generals in the Red Army period were in their twenties and served as divisions, even in their early thirties during the Liberation War. Compared to peacetime, becoming a teacher at the age of 40 is already very remarkable. He served as the head of the cadre department because of the survey and statistics, and there were only a few people who held the position of full teacher around the age of 40.
Perhaps because the retirement mechanism is not perfect, many veterans are in the reuse position, which leads to the delay in the promotion of cadres below, some cadres have not been promoted for more than ten years, and the subsequent division positions have not changed for many years, and these people are getting older and older. There are not a few people in their 50s who serve as teachers, and there are also many people in their 40s who serve in regimental positions.
According to the normal post, it should be a regimental position in the early thirties, a division in the early 40s, a military position in the early 50s, or even a higher position, which is a conscientious promotion. Now the top has not retreated, and the bottom cannot go up. As a long-term member of the organ, he became a full-time teacher at an early age, which is also rare in the military region.
In 1970, at the age of 41, he was proposed to be a full-fledged military officer, which made him restless. There are not a few veteran qualifications in the military region, and there are old Red Army, the old Eighth Route Army who joined the revolution in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, they have military merits and qualifications, and they should be promoted first, and the army is the place where the generals will make war achievements. Not long after I was promoted to the position of teacher, it seems inappropriate to continue to improve. Therefore, he took the initiative to find the deputy political commissar of the military region in charge of cadre work, saying that he had little qualifications and was still young, and that it would be better to accumulate more experience in the army if he had been working in organs for a long time.
As a matter of fact, the cadres department of the General Political Department is responsible for all posts at and above the division level, and the political department of the military region is responsible for appointing cadres below the division level. The military region has the right to make suggestions, and the specific decisions must be made by the General Political Cadre Department.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, since the superiors are all about to be appointed, it means that they are promoted only if they have excellent ability. In fact, he was under a lot of pressure when he was the head of the cadre department of the military region. At that time, it was in a special period, and some people with serious factions had increased his political pressure and were criticized. Speaking from himself, he is young, his qualifications are not deep, and he is in charge of cadre work, which will inevitably cause some discussions.
After he reported his thoughts to the relevant leaders, the organization finally decided to promote him to a deputy military post and serve as a deputy political commissar of the army.
When he was the deputy political commissar of the army, it could be regarded as a training for him. In the past, he would adjust his position for a lot of time, but he has been in the post for 13 years, and the army commander, political commissar, deputy army commander, chief of staff, and director of the political department have all changed several times, and he is still the deputy political commissar. There were no promotions and transfers.
He also went from his early forties to his fifties.
In 1982, with the breaking of the lifelong system of the leadership team, many veterans who were old or in poor health retreated to the second line or retired, vacating many positions, and he was promoted to military political commissar in 1983.
At that time, the army was engaged in the four modernizations, and as a moderate age, he was promoted to the post of deputy political commissar of the large military region after only two years of serving as military political commissar, and after another two years, he was directly promoted to the political commissar of the large military region. He was promoted to lieutenant general in 1988 and was promoted to general in the nineties.
