Welcome to read the 3269th issue of Shiyuan History Column. , the former commander of , the fourth field , has two daughters in his life, the eldest daughter is relatively less well-known, called , Lin Xiaolin, . Lin Xiaolin was born to Mr. Lin's ex-wife Zhang Mei. After Mr. Lin returned from the Soviet Union, he divorced Zhang Mei. In 1956, Zhang Mei married the founding major general Xu Jiefan. Lin Xiaolin lives with Xu Jiefan and Zhang Mei, and she has a very good relationship with her stepfather. . General Xu Jiefan's three biological daughters were all in the Soviet Union, and he regarded Lin Xiaolin as his own.
Nevertheless, due to having a legendary biological father, Lin Xiaolin's life is destined to be quiet, and many history enthusiasts are studying her. In 2007, Lin Xiaolin went to the Sanheba Revolutionary Memorial Hall to participate in the event. A large number of people suddenly surrounded her and took a photo with her. The reason was self-evident. Lin Xiaolin has been relatively low-key all his life, but this time he did not reject the enthusiastic crowd. He took photos with everyone and talked with a smile.
She was in a very good mood that day because she had just participated in the exhibition for the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Military Museum. The photo of her biological father, Mr. Lin, was placed third in the founding marshal, and there is also a detailed introduction to her achievements. This situation was the first time since 1971 in the open activities held by the military. After Lin Xiaolin participated in the exhibition, she shed tears in excitement: Dad’s merit is merit, and fault is merit. Thanks to the Party and the government for improving my evaluation of my father! In fact, in this "improvement" process, three heroes played a very important role.
1971, the military and civilians were very secretive about the former commander of the Fourth Field Army and basically no positive comments appeared, especially in public. It was not until 1983 that Comrade Chen Yun directed the writing of the book "The Decisive Battle of Liaoshen", requiring Lin Shuai's command performance to be written in it without any evasion. "What he did right should be written. Under the correct decision of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao, Lin commanded his troops to win the Liaoshen Battle . This is an objective fact." Chen Yun was the first person to propose to evaluate General Lin's past history from a positive perspective after 1971. Although is limited to the military level and is only a specific point of the Liaoshen Battle, it has become a big breakthrough.
The second key figure is General Huang Kecheng. Huang Kecheng was a subordinate of Lin Shuai during the Northeast period and was more familiar with him. In the 1980s, Huang Lao served as the second secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, responsible for the rehabilitation of a large number of political cases and difficult problems. Of course, this does not include the "September 13" incident. However, Mr. Huang also has an in-depth understanding of this, so when talking about relevant cadres, his attitude is still very fair.
Huang Kecheng said: Evaluation of Lin should adhere to two points of theory, and his merits and demerits are clear. During the war years, he made great contributions to leading the army. Nowadays, many books and exhibitions, when they mention him, they simply hold a few positions without specific introductions, and some even save photos, making them look like a "wordless monument". This is impossible to explain to future generations. When we understand the history of the war, no one can explain it clearly the more we go. Therefore, this generation must take responsibility. Those who write history must learn Sima Qian . Huang Kecheng went further than Chen Yun and played a guiding role in how to fairly evaluate Mr. Lin.
When filming the movie " Decisive Battle " in the late 1980s, Mr. Lin's scenes in the Liaoshen Campaign could not be avoided no matter what. Due to political sensitivity, the film crew was worried that this history would not be filmed well, so they proposed to film the main filming of senior commanders such as Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan and Chief of Staff Liu Yalou, and try to bypass General Lin. Yang Shangkun, who was the vice chairman of Military Commission at the time, shook his head and said: If you don’t pat him, then who fought the battle? Play the piano randomly. The sentence
made the director suddenly realize, so the role of General Lin played by Ma Shaoxin in "The Great Decisive Battle", which is very classic. So for Lin Shuai, the evaluation of Lin Shuai over the past few decades has been relaxed and improved step by step. Chen Yun, Huang Kecheng, Yang Shangkun and others have all played an important role, and finally formed an objective attitude of "effort is merit, and fault is fault".This is also an important reason why Lin Xiaolin can relieve pressure and face life calmly. She is very grateful to the leaders of the Party and the army for giving her father such an evaluation. Zhang Mei and Lin Xiaolin are still alive.
