Mao Zedong awarded Fu Zuoyi the military rank
After the peaceful liberation of Peiping, the Suiyuan issue became a problem that Fu Zuoyi thought about day and night. Mao Zedong proposed the "Suiyuan method" to Fu Zuoyi. After many discussions, in May 1949, the "Suiyuan Agreement" was signed.
In order to completely solve the Suiyuan problem, Mao Zedong asked Fu Zuoyi to go to Suiyuan.
On August 22, the day before Fu Zuoyi left for Suiyuan, Mao Zedong received him in Fengze Garden, Zhongnanhai.
Mao Zedong said: "Mr. Fu, you have become an uncle to the Communist Party. You have made the Suiyuan Agreement very good, so just go with it according to the agreed terms."
Mao Zedong continued: " Huang Yanpei said that the liberation of Shanghai requires the Communist Party to pass one hurdle. I answered him that there is not only one hurdle, but three hurdles that the Communist Party must pass. One is the economic difficulties after entering the city. The enemy's blockade will take two to three months, or even longer; the second is land reform, which will take two to three years; the third It is a test of socialism and it will take 20 to 30 years. I hope Mr. Yisheng can pass it with us. "
" Fu Zuoyi was very grateful to Mao Zedong for his encouragement and said: "I will study hard and make up my mind to pass the three test."

Fu Zuoyi followed Mao Zedong's instructions and carried out a planned and step-by-step reform movement to transform the local liberated areas into the People's Liberation Army. Following the pattern of the liberated areas, Suiyuan gradually established a democratic political power and implemented democratic reforms.
