North Korea is relatively xenophobic due to its long-term self-sufficiency.
, but there are 5 Chinese people who make them sincerely admire them. Even if you go to North Korea today, when you mention their names, the Koreans will still give you a thumbs up!
So who are these 5 people? Why can they win the admiration of the North Korean people?
"King of Mountains and Forests" Yang Jingyu
When it comes to Yang Jingyu, everyone should not be too unfamiliar with this name. As the commander of the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, he is often regarded as the banner of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War.
was born in poverty, but he had a sense of patriotic passion; the mountains and rivers were broken, and he had to fight to the last person.
adhered to this will. At the age of 22, he organized a large-scale peasant riot, drove the warlords out of the county town of Queshan, and formed the first revolutionary armed forces in Henan.
For the sake of the revolution, Yang Jingyu was arrested and imprisoned by the enemy five times and suffered various tortures. At the longest time, he even tortured him for five or six days and nights, leaving him dying.
But even so, he did not betray the secrets of our party. Instead, he continued to fight for the liberation of the whole Chinese people after being released from prison.
However, the revolution at that time was really difficult. Even if he did not care about life and death, it would be difficult to change the situation in a short period of time.
Finally, he fell into a siege on the winter night of 1939, and started the final struggle under the encirclement of the enemy.
There is a wasteland in front, the evil enemy behind, and there are only silent forests and heavy snow around. After dealing with the enemy alone for five days and nights, he finally reached the point of retreating irreversible...
On February 23, 1940, Comrade Yang Jingyu died in Sandaohezi, Mengjiang, Jilin.
Some people may say that this is a hero of the Chinese. What does it have to do with the North Koreans? This involves the composition of Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces .
In the early years, when Northeast Anti-Japanese United Nations was first established, there were not only Chinese people, but also Koreans. We worked together to resist the Japanese invaders.
Under the strong situation of the enemy, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army once retreated into North Korea, and when it retreated there, it also gave great help to the North Korean people.
In this way, Yang Jingyu, as the leader of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Nations, naturally had a great influence among the North Korean people.
is actually not just a North Korean as a teammate, but even the Japanese as an opponent admire Comrade Yang Jingyu very much and think that this is a strong man.
What is regrettable is that such a hero with outstanding character died at the age of 35.
You should know that he is a leader recognized by the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and has the most comprehensive military and political capabilities. Even the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has expressed his affirmation of him many times. It is not surprising that a person like
can win the admiration of the North Korean people.
"Inheritance Immortal" Wei Zhengmin
Compared with Yang Jingyu, Wei Zhengmin's "famousity" seems to be lower in China, but in North Korea, he is also a household name. The reason is also very simple. Super leader Kim Il-sung once imported and said,
"Comrade Wei Zhengmin has made contributions to the Korean revolution, and everyone should commemorate him well." Behind the sentence
actually involves a purge incident in the southeast region in 1934.
At that time, the enemy used the North Korean traitors and traitor organizations to attempt to undermine the joint anti-Japanese forces between China and North Korea from the inside, and the Dongman Party organization was also influenced by left-leaning ideas and dealt with many cadres.
At the severe moment, Wei Zhengmin stood up and convened an enlarged joint meeting of the Dongman Party and Youth League Special Committee. The approval authority for the executioners was strictly stipulated, which protected a large number of North Korean Party members and revolutionaries.
The kindness of Wei Zhengmin is remembered by those Koreans, but their admiration for him is not just about gratitude. Wei Zhengmin's revolutionary process is also worthy of saying.
In 1909, Wei Zhengmin was born in a poor peasant family in Shanxi Province. Although his family was poor, he had ambitions. In his early years, he was determined to become a revolutionary for the country and the people.
He has only one goal, that is, "to revolution, to overthrow the old society, and to build a new society!"
When Comrade Yang Jingyu was still there, both of them were benchmarks and could help each other.
However, after Yang Jingyu passed away, the important task of Northeast anti-Japanese war fell entirely on Wei Zhengmin's shoulders alone.
The situation was very critical at that time, because the enemy frantically promoted the news of Yang Jingyu's death, and even cut off his head for publicity, in order to crack down on the morale of the Northeast coalition.
But they didn't expect that without Yang Jingyu and Wei Zhengmin, he twisted Northeast Democratic Alliance into a rope with the slogan "blood debt needs to be paid for blood". It’s a pity that the long-term hard struggle finally dragged down his body. In 1941, Wei Zhengmin, who was seriously ill in , died because he was outnumbered.
However, before he passed on his spirit, he encouraged everyone to say,
"If you want to revolution, don't be afraid of blood and sacrifice. Our blood will not flow in vain, and the red flag of revolution will fill China!"
For the Korean people, Wei Zhengmin is not only a benefactor, but also a role model. They admire Wei Zhengmin very much, and even if they mention it now, they will give a thumbs up.
"Strategist" Zhou Enlai
In addition to Yang Jingyu and Wei Zhengmin, Zhou Enlai also forged a deep friendship with the Korean people.
About this can be proved in just one sentence,
"One of the countries that Prime Minister Zhou Enlai visited the most during his lifetime was North Korea!"
Zhou Enlai's multiple visits brought many useful suggestions to the North Korean people, and for this reason, the North Korean people are very grateful to him.
In 1976, Premier Zhou died of illness in Beijing. The then North Korean leader Kim Il-sung was very sad and decided to set up a bronze statue for Zhou Enlai, where Premier Zhou visited and delivered a speech that year. The bronze statue of
is very restored. Even the texture of the sweater in the cuffs of Premier Zhou’s suit is clearly visible. Even Deng Yingchao nodded with tears after seeing it, which shows the wishes of the North Korean people.
In fact, at that time, Kim Il-sung also proposed to come to Beijing to pay tribute to Premier Zhou’s remains to express his condolences and the Chinese people.
, however, since my country does not have this convention, Kim Il-sung ultimately failed to make a move.
In addition to making development suggestions, Comrade Zhou Enlai also gave North Korea great help in the matter of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding North Korea.
When the United Nations Army invaded North Korea, Zhou Enlai suggested that the Northeast Frontier Defense Force be formed in a timely manner and issued a statement of condemnation on behalf of the Chinese government. When making major decisions on resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, Zhou Enlai was basically present. Although he did not fight on the battlefield, he was also a contribution to planning thousands of miles away.
The last thing to say is that Premier Zhou secretly went to the Soviet Union to negotiate with Stalin , demanding that the Soviet Union provide military assistance to China and North Korea.
Although the Soviet Union was nominally the "big brother" in socialist camp , when Korean War broke out, it did not want to stand out rashly, but instead pushed the responsibility for sending troops to China.
Not only that, they are not even willing to provide military assistance, and they promised our weapons in advance, and the materials were not paid.
Finally, Premier Zhou went to the Soviet Union in person and started negotiations with Stalin on multiple sides, which finally prompted him to fulfill his promise.
Without Premier Zhou, it is still unknown whether the Sino-North Korea coalition can successfully defeat the United Nations army; even if it can win, it will inevitably cause greater losses and casualties.
So it is reasonable that the North Korean people admire and miss Premier Zhou so much.
"First Battle to Become the Gods" Peng Dehuai
Before the outbreak of the Korean War, the name Peng Dehuai was still relatively far away to the Korean people.
However, after this battle, General Peng directly "devoted the gods" in the hearts of the Korean people.
Events have to start with the Korean War that broke out in June 1950. This war was started by North Korea and almost ended with the destruction of North Korea.
Although North Korea gained a huge advantage in the early stages of the war and once occupied the South Korean capital Seoul , as the "United Nations Army" led by the United States entered, they soon fell into adversity.
, especially a Incheon landing in , directly "cutting off" the Korean People's Army. Since then, the North Korean army has been defeated and has been escaping 38th parallel .
In the eyes of the North Korean people at that time, the well-equipped United Nations army was invincible, especially the US army, which was even more terrifying than the jackals, tigers and leopards.
, their " stereotype " was soon broken by the volunteer army led by General Peng. The Battle of Yunshan was the first battle between China and the United States. At that time, the US military sent the "American Cavalry Division" that claimed to have never defeated the ace army since its founding, while the 39th Army was dispatched. At the beginning of the battle of
, we confused the US military with our flexible tactics and fierce offensives. In the end, the "American Cavalry First Division" who was known as the trump card was directly beaten to the point of change.
Although the volunteer army won a great victory, many people blamed it on luck, not strength.
Like the United Nations Army, MacArthur has spoken arrogantly,
"End the battle within three months, we can still catch up with Christmas." We all know the final result of
. In the first phase of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, we all achieved absolute victory in the first three battles of , and MacArthur was directly beaten to "resign". Although Li Qiwei, who succeeded as a soldier, seized the supply disadvantage of our army and organized several waves of attacks, it was not enough to help the US military win.
In the end, the arrogant US military had to sit at the negotiating table to sign the armistice agreement.
As the commander-in-chief of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the influence of General Peng in this war is unquestionable.
Although he later returned to China with illness and was unable to play the full game, before returning to China, he had already led the resistance to U.S. aggression and aid Korea to a stable process.
Therefore, in the eyes of the North Korean people, General Peng can be regarded as the "God of War" in their hearts. The best proof that General Peng can win the title of "Hero of the People's Republic of Korea".
"Magnificent and Domineering" Chairman Mao
The last one we want to talk about is Chairman Mao, and the deepest impression he left on the North Korean people is his majesty and domineering. Why
? Because Chairman Mao is not only visionary, but also dares to speak and fight.
When the Korean War broke out in 1950, Chairman Mao had already guessed that the United States might intervene and that the war would escalate, so he was ready to fight early.
, but among the domestic generals, many people actually disagree with resisting U.S. aggressing Korea.
As soon as the New China was established at that time, the people longed for this hard-won peace.
At that time, the situation in China was in ruins. It seemed that there was no need to fall into the quagmire of war again in order to support North Korea.
Secondly, before the outbreak of the Korean War, the mainland had just been prepared to regain Taiwan. Once the war started with the United States, the regaining of Taiwan would inevitably be delayed.
But just when everyone was hesitating, Chairman Mao stood up. He said that
"Have a punch, so that a hundred punches will not come!"
On the surface, Western countries' intervention in the Korean War has nothing to do with us, but in fact it will cause great harm to our country.
, let alone whether they will burn the war to our borders, even if they stop in time, will it be a threat in the future?
As the old saying goes, "How can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed?"
So Chairman Mao insisted on fighting and firmly believed that we could win. The facts proved that Chairman Mao's vision and decision-making were correct.
Western countries led by the United States are simply unwilling to stop on the Korean Peninsula.
Not only did they ignore our country's warnings and pushed the troops across the 38th parallel, but even artillery fire had hit our country. If they were lucky, they would probably repeat the mistakes they had made a hundred years ago.
But our country was prepared for a long time, and the result was naturally very different. The United Nations army was defeated by us and completely saw the power of the "world's No. 1 light infantry".
In contrast, our country has also changed the impression of various countries and reshaped its international status through this battle of founding.
The peace and rapid development of New China over the past 70 years have benefited from that war, and Chairman Mao also left a mighty and domineering image internationally for the Chinese leaders and China.
In fact, it is not just the North Korean people, but there are many people in the international community who admire Chairman Mao.
For example, Stalin, who is known for his toughness, also held his hands when he met Chairman Mao and said,
"You are truly great, amazing."
For example, Vietnam Leader Ho Chi Minh . He not only compared Chairman Mao to his teacher, but also sighed,
"Mao Zedong is great, and it is very happy to be a Chinese."
In fact, when he first visited China, Nixon , his impression of Chairman Mao was actually not very good, because he felt that Chairman Mao was not serious enough to meet him in the study.
Later he learned that Chairman Mao's condition was already serious at that time and he was forced to meet with his study.
Later, Nixon was forced to resign because of the " Watergate Incident ". When his situation also fell to the bottom, Chairman Mao took the initiative to stand up and lend a helping hand to him, not only spoke for him, but also invited him to visit China for a second time.
In the end, Nixon's evaluation of Chairman Mao was: "Great person changed the world."
When Chairman Mao passed away in 1976, almost the whole world mourned him. United Nations even lowered the flag at the fastest speed. More than 30 countries held memorial activities for Chairman Mao.
When the North Korean government learned the news, it directly set September 10 to 18 as the national mourning period, during which all entertainment activities were stopped, and the mourning activities in more than 30 countries were generally the same.
In France, Pakistan , Tanzania and other countries, tens of thousands of people walked on the streets to march...
To sum up, it is not difficult to see that the people's eyes are sharp, and great people will naturally be respected and commemorated.
is no exception even in a relatively closed country like North Korea.
On the other hand, those who harm the interests of the people for their own selfish interests will surely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and be cursed by the people.
