At the 1955 title ceremony, after the rank of the lieutenant general was awarded, there was still a general standing in the audience and refused to leave. The Prime Minister who was responsible for awarding them the title asked, "What's the situation?" He told the Prime Minister straightforwardly: "I haven't read my name yet!"
Who is this person? Why didn't he be called a name?
1. Lieutenant General
1949 After the founding of New China, all systems are waiting to be updated. However, at that time, everything was in the process of creating, so the great men and others focused on the most critical areas, and other less urgent things were ready to push them back or do them in the second year. However, what many people did not expect was that the second year the peninsula broke out again, and in the end we had to send troops to launch the great resistance to the U.S. aggression and aid Korea. This has forced many of our problems to be put on hold.
At that time, the whole country's energy was focused on restoring production and helping volunteers and other directions; other things were pushed back. It was not until the end of the Korean War in 1953 that the great men and the others finally had time to solve many other urgent problems at that time, and the assessment of military rank was also a major event.
After all, this is the first time since the founding of the country. means an evaluation of the lifelong achievements of many generals, and it is also a symbol of honor for these generals. It can be said to play a role in calming people's hearts. So the great man asked Luo Rongheng and others to handle this matter specifically.
Although this matter was being prepared for a long time ago, it is indeed a super big project. After all, there were millions of troops at that time, and there were as many as thousands of generals who had been through life and death. This does not include the level below the general, so this work was truly confirmed until 1955. The ceremony of
was very grand on the day of the title award. The great man, the prime minister, and the ten marshals all came to the scene and participated in the event together.
During the 1955 rank ceremony, there were 10 marshals, 10 generals, 55 generals, 175 lieutenant generals, and 798 major generals. Because the total number of people is too large, in order to save time and avoid the ritual being too complicated, the host usually reads the names of several people together, and then a group of people come up to award the title together.
At the same time, the marshal, general, general, lieutenant general and major general also stood in separate categories, and the awards were completed one by one and ended one by one.
However, after the ceremony of awarding the rank of lieutenant general, there was still a general standing in the audience waiting. Since all the people in the lieutenant general left, he stood alone and the Prime Minister saw him immediately, so he asked him what was going on. He reported to the Prime Minister in a standard military posture: "I haven't read my name yet!"
The general's name is Huang Mars.
2. Glorious years: General Huang Mars has embarked on his military career step by step
Maybe many people have never heard of the name Huang Mars, but he is also a very legendary general. General Huang Mars was born in Jiangxi. His family was pretty good at the beginning, and at least he could survive in that troubled time. However, due to the disaster in their hometown, they had to go out to escape.
No matter what era it is, escape is always the most painful thing for the people. Because as long as you choose to escape, your family's fixed assets have to be given up; at the same time, there are very few resources you can bring. If you go abroad to buy food, use and other items, you have to pay a much more expensive price than usual. The same is true for Huang Mars family.
His parents took him and his younger brother out together to find a way out. Then the road to escape is too hard and difficult, and the family often faces the situation of not having enough food and not being able to wear warm clothes. As a result, his mother was in poor health and became ill after overwork during the escape. Therefore, she suffered from a serious disease and was about to fail.
The medical conditions at that time were already behind, and Huang Mars' family had already spent all their savings on their escape, so had no way to treat his mother. helplessly, he could only watch his mother die with his father. After his mother passed away, the burial fee was another big problem for them.
This burial fee was a huge astronomical sum for the Huang family who fled at that time. They have no jobs now and cannot find relatives and friends, so cannot raise such a huge sum of money. Huang Mars' father had to go anywhere to find a way, but fortunately he met a fellow villager at this time.
This fellow villager opened a porcelain shop in Jingdezhen. His business is quite good, but he has a big regret, that is, he and his original wife have never had children. After hearing that Huang Mars' father wanted to bury his wife, but there was not enough burial fee, he came up with an idea.
He proposed that let Huang Mars adopt Huang Mars to himself, and then he would help solve the burial fee.
It is logical that such a thing should not be agreed, but in that painful war-torn era, Huang Mars' father didn't even know how long he could live. Seeing that the fellow villager was living a good life, his character was still kind, and if he could adopt his son, it might be a good way out for Huang Mars.
However, he decided to ask his son for his opinion and ask Huang Marshen what he thinks about this. In order to be able to bury his mother, Huang Marsung agreed to this matter.
After Huang Marshal adopted him at his adoptive father's house, he had to separate from his father and younger brother. However, his adoptive parents are also quite good. Because they don’t have their own biological sons, they treat Huang Mars as their biological sons. Whether it is his adoptive father or his adoptive mother, he is quite kind to him.
Their idea is also quite simple, that is, to cultivate their adopted son Huang Mars well, and then hope that Huang Mars can inherit the family business and carry out the porcelain factory in his hands. For this reason, his adoptive parents helped him arrange a lot.
First of all, asked him to go to school to study . After all, if he wants to inherit his family business, he must understand some basic cultural knowledge. Huang Marshes cherished this very much, so he was very serious in class and his academic performance was quite excellent. However, just as he was preparing to study and produce further, his adoptive parents took him home as an apprentice.
Because his adoptive parents did not want him to be a scholar, but hoped that he could master the porcelain craftsmanship and inherit his family business.
In response to this, although Huang Marshe was reluctant to leave, he felt that he could not let down his adoptive parents, so he left school with a reluctant mood and became an apprentice in his father's porcelain factory. specializes in learning the technology of making porcelain. Although the job in the porcelain factory is very tiring, he is the boss's adopted son after all, and he is mainly learning a craft here. He lives a hard but fulfilling life.
His adoptive parents also arranged a child bride for him. Although this seems a bit incredible to us now, Huang Mars also followed the meaning of his adoptive parents at that time, and married his wife and had children when he was a teenager.
If all this continues, then he may have nothing to do with the subsequent lieutenant general; but the fate of life is so impermanent. Huang Mars originally lived a good life, but with the death of his adoptive mother, his life suddenly became difficult.
His adoptive father was also a relatively rich person, so after his adoptive mother passed away, he remarried a stepmother and came home. This stepmother treats him very badly. Maybe she thinks he is not his own son, so she beats and scolds him, and arranges various dirty and tiring work with him.
However, although this kind of life was hard, Huang Marshal thought of the goodness of his adoptive father, and continued to endure this pain.
Who knew that his adoptive father also passed away soon. After his adoptive father passed away, his stepmother remarried directly, and then his father's factory also went bankrupt and left a sky-high debt.Of course, this debt cannot be handed over to the remarried stepmother, and all the to be paid by Huang Mars and his wife, which made Huang Mars' life suddenly fall into a desperate situation.
Where did he get so much money at once? But debt collectors came to him one after another and didn't give him time at all.
In order to repay the debt, he could only sell all his family's property in order to exchange as much as possible for part of his money to repay. But even so, he still didn't pay off his debts. Huang Marshe had to do coolies. After all, he could do porcelain, so he worked hard. But, where can I make any money by working in ?
Although he works hard every day, it is difficult to support his family, let alone pay off his debts. This put Huang Mars and his family in trouble. It was under this difficult life that Huang Mars' thoughts began to awaken. He began to want to break this status quo and no longer be bound by this terrible shackles.
Coincidentally, Red Army soon arrived at the local area, and Huang Mars began to gradually join the progress organization.
At first he only carried out a strike movement, and then he became a member of the Red Army; in addition, Jiangxi later established the Red Army regime, so he began his military career. During the Red Army period, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the War of Liberation, Huang Mars has been fighting bravely and made great achievements.
3. Re-granting military rank
When he was rated in 1955, he was told to be selected as the rank of lieutenant general, so he stood seriously and waited. But until the ceremony of awarding the rank of lieutenant general was over, he did not hear his name. After hearing about his situation, the Prime Minister asked someone to check the list specifically. found that the name of Huang Mars was indeed on the list of lieutenant generals.
This time the staff suddenly realized: There were too many people at that time, and the host read it wrong, and read Huang Mars into Huang Huoqing.
Although this is only a word difference, Huang Mars did not dare to walk up rashly. After all, there were millions of people in the entire army at that time. No one knew if there was really one named Huang Huoqing. How could he walk up directly? So he waited here, but he didn't hear his name until the end.
After learning about this situation, Prime Minister held a special ceremony for him . The military band still played music as before, and then the Prime Minister awarded him the title, and the great man also awarded him the medal of honor alone, which was a formal return ceremony for him.
