This cadre is the youngest vice premier of the State Council in my country's history. He was in his forties when he first received the appointment of the Party Central Committee. During his term of office, he assisted Premier Zhou in conscientiously coordinating national administrative affairs, restoring industrial and agricultural output value, leading the broad masses of people out of poverty, and making indelible contributions to the economic development of New China. His name is Chen Yun.
Chen Yun is from Shanghai. He was born in a poor farmer in 1905. His parents died one after another when he was young. His uncle saw that he was pitiful and took him to raise him. In 1919, after finishing high school, he dropped out of school to work. During this period, he was guided by his colleagues and embarked on the path of communism. He joined the party organization in 1925 and was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee in 1930.
1934, during the Long March of the Red Army, the Party Central Committee decided to appoint Chen Yun to work as the central representative to the rear guard unit, Red 5th Legion. Before leaving, Grandpa Mao and General Zhu met him specially and told him that in a critical moment, he could marchester military and political power and decide the whereabouts of the Red 5th Legion. The situation of the Red 5th Legion is relatively difficult. On the one hand, they have to follow Bogu's orders and carry various heavy machinery in a moving manner. The marching speed is very slow and they cannot get rid of the enemy's pursuit at all. On the other hand, the number of enemy pursuers is far better than ours. The Red 5th Legion's combat pressure is very high, and there are many casualties in each battle.
This made the officers and soldiers of the Red 5th Legion a little dissatisfied and often complained. After Chen Yun noticed this situation, he went down to the grassroots troops to have a face-to-face conversation with everyone, relieve the negative emotions of the soldiers, encourage their morale, stabilize the morale of the army, and unite everyone closely around the party organization.
After the battle of Xiangjiang began, the 13th Division of the Red 5th Legion landed far behind the large army because it wanted to block the enemy, and was about to fall into the siege of the enemy. In a critical moment, Chen Yun used special power to order the 13th Division to quickly break off contact with the enemy and cross the Xiangjiang River to meet with the Legion headquarters. As soon as the 13th Division crossed the river, the enemy blocked all the ferries along the river, and they almost escaped. At the Zunyi Conference in 1935, Chen Yun fought against the opposition and, together with General Peng, General Zhu and other comrades, called on Grandpa Mao to come out to take charge of military and political power, and suspended the positions of Bo Gu, Li De and others, so as to bring the revolution back on track. In the late 2018, he secretly left the Red Army and turned to Shanghai eastward, moving under the enemy's nose, trying every means to contact Comintern and informing the Red Army of its current status and future plans.
11 In early 1937, he went to Xinjiang again to meet with Comrade Teng Daiyuan to support the remnants of the Western Route Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he stayed in Yan'an to be responsible for the work of the Organization Department. In 1945, Chen Yunyuan went to the Northeast and partnered with Lin Shuai to lead Dongye, while also serving as a local administrative work. After the full liberation of the Northeast, he was responsible for post-war recovery and reconstruction work, and made outstanding contributions. In 1949, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, he became Vice Premier of the State Council. At that time, he was only 44 years old and was the youngest vice premier in our country.
11953, Gao Gang and others ignored their party spirit and discipline, and actually confronted the Party Central Committee, and attracted old subordinates everywhere to engage in mountain doctrine. Gao Zeng came to find Chen Yun and threw an olive branch to him. But Chen Yun always sticks to the bottom line and refuses to be in sync with such people. He later exposed Gao to the Party Central Committee with Duke Deng, shattering a conspiracy that was very involved.
Time came to the 1960s. When Chen Yun was conducting research at the grassroots level, he found that the " production team " had begun to hinder the development of productivity. Therefore, he suggested to the Party Central Committee that land reform be implemented again and the land is divided back to individuals to boost the enthusiasm of farmers and change the situation of the rigidity of agriculture. This view was subsequently recognized as "rightist thought" and was criticized a lot, and Chen Yun was also criticized for a while. Under pressure, he could only stop mentioning this matter.
During the turbulent period, he suffered a violent impact, was suspended from all positions, and went to a machinery factory in Jiangxi for renovation. It was not until 1971 that he returned to the Central Committee with the strong mediation of Premier Zhou and served as a foreign economic researcher at the State Council.During this period, Chen Yun accumulated a lot of economics knowledge and gained a comprehensive understanding of the non-public economy. After the turmoil ended, he actively cooperated with Deng Gong to carry out economic system reform, bringing China into a new stage of development. Chen Yun's descendants are as outstanding as him. His eldest son Chen Yuan had worked in the financial field for many years and achieved extraordinary achievements. Later, he joined the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as vice chairman and enjoyed the treatment of vice-state. The third daughter Chen Weilan also worked within the system and was later elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
Chen Yun is one of the core figures of the first generation of leadership team in New China. He is loyal and simple, always looking forward to communism, and embracing the great ideal of national prosperity and strength. After the reform was fully implemented, he worked hard on the front line and joined forces with Deng Gong to establish a market economic system, allowing the new China to rise rapidly and become the world's leading economy, allowing the people to get rid of the constraints of the line of food and clothing and move into a well-off life. He is a talented and outstanding cadre and a good comrade who is always trustworthy. Let us pay tribute to him!
