As Lin Biao's daughter, Lin Xiaolin Under the care of the Party, life is very guaranteed in all aspects.
But as she grows older, her physical condition is getting worse and worse, and she is becoming more and more unable to do things.
During that time, she just said the names of "Deng Hua, Liang Xingchu, Dong Cunrui, Ma Renxing..." and others without any trouble, and the thing she was concerned about was not only related to her father Lin Biao, but also to these heroes of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Xiaolin wrote a letter of help to Chen Yun. The beginning of the letter
reads: "Uncle Chen, I have two things to bother you, I hope you can help..."
At that time, Chen Yun had already retired and was at home. Looking at this special letter of help, Chen Yun fell into deep thought.
What are the two things Lin Xiaolin asked for? Will Chen Yun agree to help?
Lin Xiaolin's change in attitude towards his father Lin Biao
In 1950, Lin Xiaolin returned to China and met his father Lin Biao who had been away for a long time.
Father Lin Biao married another person in the early years, and now his mother is also looking for a partner in the Soviet Union.
After many years, things have changed. In Lin Xiaolin's childhood memory, the warm and harmonious home has long been broken.
is in youth and is frivolous in youth. Lin Xiaolin is not without resentment towards his father.
father Lin Biao was young and promising. He followed Mao Zedong and Zhu De in a revolution very early and won many victories.
1937, Lin Biao was already the president of the Red Army Military and Political University and Political University and political commissar . This year was also the year when his father Lin Biao met his mother Zhang Mei and became in love.
That day, Lin Biao visited the Central Party School. When he walked into a classroom, a youthful face instantly attracted him.
As a Shaanxi Mizhi person, Zhang Mei is extremely beautiful. She participated in the revolution at the age of 16 and was called "A Flower in Northern Shaanxi" by everyone in the army.
Lang has feelings, but I don’t know if the beauty is interested. Lin Biao invited Dong Biwu, the president of the Central Party School at that time, to be a mediator.
As a result, Zhang Mei was also very satisfied with Lin Biao, who was young and handsome and able to fight.
In this way, "A flower in northern Shaanxi" was finally picked by Lin Biao.
After the two held a simple wedding, Lin Biao went to the Shanxi Anti-Japanese Front and commanded the Pingxingguan Battle with Nie Rongzhen.
1937 On September 25, 1937, the Pingxingguan Battle officially started. Under the command of the two, the Eighth Route Army took advantage of mountain war and melee combat, successfully defeated the Japanese army, and fought a beautiful ambush.
Pingxingguan victory added unprecedented confidence to all the soldiers, and their enthusiasm for anti-Japanese war was unprecedentedly high. Lin Biao became more and more braver as he fought, threatening to defeat the Japanese in one go.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Lin Biao was shot by soldiers from Yan Xishan's troops.
was seriously injured, and Lin Biao had to withdraw from the front line to Yan'an, and was then transferred to the Soviet Union.
Zhang Mei was anxious when she received the news. After receiving the permission of her superiors, she also went to the Soviet Union.
At this time, Zhang Mei was pregnant. She took a long-distance bus and caused her child to have premature birth. She survived for only 2 months and unfortunately died.
Fortunately, after arriving in the Soviet Union, Zhang Mei's pain of losing her son was relieved when she saw Lin Biao recovering.
In the Soviet Union, the two gave birth to another child, the eldest daughter Lin Xiaolin.
Lin Xiaolin's birth added a lot of happiness to Lin Biao and Zhang Mei, but this happiness was extremely short-lived.
1941, Lin Biao received an order to return to China.
The long-term separation has gradually faded the relationship between the two.
Not long after, Lin Biao married Ye Qun. Zhang Mei took her daughter Lin Xiaolin alone in the Soviet Union, and when Lin Xiaolin grew up, she also chose a separate spouse.
Although Lin Biao loved Lin Xiaolin very much after returning to China, Lin Xiaolin has always been very depressed when faced with the irreversible fact that his father and mother remarried and established a new family.
This time it was during the War of Liberation, and Chen Yun was ordered to go to the Northeast to handle related work and spent some time with Lin Biao. Lin Xiaolin also often sees Chen Yun and calls him Uncle Chen affectionately.
1961, Lin Xiaolin was admitted to Harbin Military Engineering College . He learned more about his father Lin Biao, Uncle Chen Yun and the revolutionary process, and strengthened his determination to follow the Party and build a socialist new China.
However, his father Lin Biao made a mistake. Lin Xiaolin, who had already complained about his father, resolutely broke off relations with his father.
Time soon came to 1994, and Lin Xiaolin was already 53 years old.
20 years ago, she has learned a lot from the Party and understood a lot, especially when facing the past history, she has a more objective and rational view of .
She believes that the glory created by countless revolutionary warriors should not be buried and forgotten by the father's mistakes alone.
learned from her mistakes and wrote a letter of help for Chen Yun, the former director of the Central Advisory Committee.
The reason for writing letters to Chen Yun and the content of the letter
. Lin Xiaolin also has his own considerations. In general, there are two points:
First, Lin Xiaolin is very familiar with Chen Yun and understands that Chen Yun is a person with rigorous work.
And Chen Yun is indeed such a person.
In order to strictly abide by discipline and not make special contributions, he even set a "three no-accreditation" policy for his family, that is, not allowing his family to enter and exit his office at will; not allowing him to take his car; and not allowing him to read his work documents.
This policy was also confirmed by Chen Yun's children: "The father is very self-disciplined and very disciplined. He never talks with his family about the secrets of the state."
Second, Chen Yun has a deep experience and has revolutionized together since the period of the Red Army , and has gone through the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, and has a deep understanding of the situation of the war.
Moreover, although Chen Yun no longer managed the central leadership at that time, as an old revolutionary, he was once selected as the alternate secretary of the Central Committee except for the five major secretaries of "Mao, Liu, Zhou, Zhu and Ren", and his influence should not be underestimated.
So, what two things did Lin Xiaolin raise in the letter?
The first thing she asked Chen Yun to help compile the history of the four fields.
The second thing, she asked Chen Yun to help build Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall . At the end of the letter, Lin Xiaolin also explained the final reason why she made these two requests.
For a long time, the battle history of the major field troops has been compiled one after another, and only the four field history has not been started.
Lin Xiaolin said that she deeply understands the reasons why the history of the Fourth Field War was not taken seriously, but she does not want her father Lin Biao to affect other soldiers Fourth Field because of the fault of her father Lin Biao alone.
In 1949, the Central Military Commission reorganized the national troops and divided them into the North China Military Region and four major field armies.
First Field Army is led by Peng Dehuai;
Second Field Army is governed by Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping;
The heads of the third field are Chen Yi and Su Yu;
Fourth Field Army is Lin Biao and Luo Ronghuan.
Under the leadership of Lin Biao and Luo Ronghuan, Lin Biao is famous in the four fields and has made great achievements in combat. Lin Biao is even known as the "Eternal Victory General". They led the Fourth Field Army, first liberated the Northeast, and then went south, and liberated Peiping and Tianjin during the Pingjin Battle. Later, during the crossing the river battle, Jiefang Road, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Hainan and other places.
Wherever the fourth field goes, the enemy will be frightened. Those revolutionary soldiers who we are familiar with, such as Dong Cunrui, Deng Hua, Liang Xingchu, etc., are all members of the fourth field.
At that time, after Lin Xiaolin returned from the Soviet Union, although he met his father Lin Biao, due to frequent wars, Lin Biao fought on the front line most of the time.
Even if we get together, Lin Xiaolin can always hear news about his father from all sides.
"Your father has won the battle again!"
"The war he guided is the main content learned in military courses!"
"The Fourth Field is really the bravest force of our army!"
...
...
Every victory in the Fourth Field is the contribution of every revolutionary soldier who fought bloody battle with the enemy.
If Lin Biao is alone and ignores all the heroes of the Fourth Field Army, it is indeed unfair.
Now, more than 20 years have passed, and the 53-year-old Lin Xiaolin's relationship with his father Lin Biao has also changed from an indescribable complexity.
She believes that no matter what, Lin Biao’s mistakes alone cannot affect the achievements of everyone in the Fourth Field Army. Seeing that the Second Field War History had been published, and the First Field and Third Field were also in preparations, Lin Xiaolin felt that she should be the promoter, so he wrote a letter to Chen Yun.
So, how will Chen Yun, who received the letter, deal with this matter?
Chen Yun’s approach
997, the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall was also built in Hongqiao District, Tianjin.
In 2007, " The Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army " was officially published into a book. The successful completion of these two things
is due to Chen Yun's help.
At that time, after reading Lin Xiaolin's letter, Chen Yun just pondered for a while, and then called someone.
This person is Hong Xuezhi.
Chen Yun also has his own considerations for Hong Xuezhi.
Hong Xuezhi is also from the Fourth Field Army. He was the commander of a column in the Fourth Field Army. Now Chen Yun is asking him to help the construction of the Four Field War History Hepingjin Battle Memorial Hall, which will surely be twice the result with half the effort.
However, after Hong Xuezhi learned about Chen Yun’s purpose, he seemed a little hesitant.
In addition to knowing the interests of it, Hong Xuezhi is even more worried that he will not be able to handle such an important task.
, Chen Yun, as his old superior, was rejected by his subordinates, but he was not angry.
He persuaded, "Actually, this matter was asked by Lin Biao's daughter Lin Xiaolin. She wrote me a letter, and the letter was sincere, hoping that his own strength could give the soldiers of the Fourth Field Army a fair explanation. I think so too." At the end of
, Chen Yun asked straightforwardly: "You just say this is a favor, are you helping me?"
was asked by his old superior, and Hong Xuezhi finally agreed.
Later, Hong Xuezhi sorted out these two requests and wrote them into a formal application and handed them to the Central Military Commission.
This application has caused heated discussion, and everyone expressed their opinions. Some people think it can be implemented, but it must ensure its fairness. Some people also think that something is inappropriate.
In the end, the Central Military Commission decided to set up a leading group that specializes in the history of the Fourth Field War. The leader of the Hong Xuezhi group must grasp the content and ensure that the history of the Fourth Field War is impartial.
At the same time, the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall was also put on the agenda.
When choosing the address of the memorial hall, everyone had different opinions again.
Later, Hong Xuezhi decided to choose Tianjin.
Because during the Battle of Pingjin, the war in Tianjin was a fierce battle, with great casualties between the enemy and us. Hong Xuezhi believes that building the memorial hall here just reflects the bravery and fearlessness of our soldiers and the hard-won peace.
When the "History of the Fourth Field Army of the People's Liberation Army of China" was published, Lin Xiaolin became the first group of readers.
She was so excited that she read, tears filled her eyes, and heartbroken.
The soldiers used their patriotic enthusiasm to build a fearless city wall. No matter how advanced the enemy's artillery fire was, they could not conquer it.
And this spirit is exactly what the Chinese people and their thousands of descendants need, and it is also what Chen Yun, Hong Xuezhi, Lin Xiaolin and countless staff who compile unofficial history are looking forward to.
As for Lin Biao and the Fourth Field Army, the author believes that a sentence Chen Yun once said can be a good overview:
"The fourth field is the fourth field, and Lin Biao is Lin Biao, the two cannot be confused."
