: Many people may find it unfamiliar to Fu Zhong, but if you mention the battles he has participated, the newspapers and magazines he has edited, the books he has written... you will definitely feel that his name is well-known again.
Comrade Fu Zhong's revolutionary career has been in 1921. It can be said that his party age is higher than many later generals. During his life, he participated in hundreds of revolutionary actions of all sizes.
Fu Zhong
Among them, the most famous ones are the anti-"encirclement and suppression" operations in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet Area, the Long March of the Red Army, the Luochuan Conference , etc. True elites are outstanding talents in all aspects, and Fu Zhong is no exception. In addition to his high political awareness, Fu Zhong is no exception in culture.
He studied abroad at the age of 20. After returning to China, he served as the editor-in-chief of the Red Army Daily, and wrote and published long works such as "Basic Issues in Political Work".
It can be said without any concealment that Comrade Fu Zhong’s qualifications are even deeper than many marshals. Comrade Fu Zhong has hidden merits and fame for many years, and he has even helped many national leaders of our country.
Long March That year, the "three magic weapons" he gave to Comrade Deng Xiaoping until the founding of New China, Deng Gong still remembers... What is the story between Fu Zhong and Deng Gong? This issue will be revealed to you.
Growth-type leadership talent
Fu Zhong can almost be regarded as one of the first talents in China to study abroad. When he was 20 years old, he and a group of progressive college students, including Comrade Zhou Enlai, traveled across the ocean to study in France.
1925, Fu Zhong, secretary of the Communist Party of China's branch of Europe, went to France to study in Paris, but he did not ask his family for a penny. Like many Chinese college students studying abroad at that time, Fu Zhong's tuition and living expenses were obtained by working part-time.
Of course, one of the greater benefits of studying in France is that France is the country that has been most affected by enlightenment thoughts after its origins in the UK. France is the central battlefield of the Enlightenment , and this holy land was once hailed as the "most ideal revolutionary growth place."
1920, Fu Zhong, who arrived in France, worked in the largest steel factory in France at that time, the Cruzer Steel Factory. Here, not only are the living conditions of workers difficult, but their wages are also very low. There are also students like Fu Zhong who work part-time to study through this chore.
However, these students have one thing in common, because they lose the qualification to study at the University of Lyon because of work-study.
Faced with the naked discrimination against workers at the University of Lyon at that time, Fu Zhong was as angry as his classmates, and the idea of a petition for the uprising soon emerged in his heart.

The years he worked in a steel factory have made him bold and resolute. In 1921, he and Zhou Enlai and others organized and led an uprising, with the theme of "requiring the University of Lyon to accept students who work and study."
Fu Zhong at that time, like most young people, had the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. They only had dozens of students, single-handedly embarked on the road of uprising petition.
However, the power of capital eventually tripped up this group of "poor students". After the failure of the uprising, Fu Zhong had to continue to go back to school to study.
Fu Zhong was not willing to fail, but at this time, he made a friend. This friend brought a lot of new thoughts to the confused Fu Zhong, and this friend is Zhang Shenfu.
Zhang Shenfu participated in the early Chinese Communist Party in China. After arriving in France, he met Fu Zhong, Zhou Enlai and others because of their introduction. After some understanding, Fu Zhong decided to join Chinese Communist Party .
Zhang Shenfu
Not only that, he also participated in the creation of the European Chinese Youth Communist Party. Soon after, with his excellent leadership skills, Fu Zhong became the clerk of the organization. This organization was the later branch of the Communist Party of China to Europe.
As clerk, Fu Zhong needs to go to Paris regularly to report on work, attend meetings, etc.
But his work is not limited to this. He maintains close ties with his classmates in the school and actively develops and strengthens the party organization. In the cumbersome and complex work, Fu Zhong's leadership ability has been developed to a great extent.
1925, he joined the French trade union and maintained close ties with the French Communist Party for a long time.
Through the French Communist Party, he learned about the current attitude of the international world towards China's issues. At this time, he understood that the current domestic situation in the motherland is not optimistic, and it is the time to urgently need talents.
Since the outbreak of the May 30th Massacre, Fu Zhong led Chinese students to demonstrate at the door of the Chinese Embassy in France, advocating that Chinese people at home and abroad oppose imperialist aggression. This behavior has triggered French police to intensify their pursuit of Chinese students and Chinese employees.
White horror permeates over Paris, but Fu Zhong and his colleagues do not finish their work. They actively rescued the arrested students, but were soon restricted by French police.
Seeing that the revolution was no longer difficult to carry out in France, Fu Zhong contacted Chen Qiaonian, the secretary of the Communist Party of China's Russian branch, and soon afterwards went to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow to study with Comrade Deng Xiaoping and other comrades.
At this time, he became classmates with Jiang Ching-kuo and others. Not long after, Fu Zhong became the deputy secretary of the student branch with his outstanding leadership skills. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" coup, Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow was suspended shortly afterwards. Fu Zhong moved to the military academy to continue his studies. After graduating in 1929, he contacted his former classmate Zhou Enlai and returned to the country to support the civil war.
Fu Zhong has been studying abroad for nearly ten years. For Fu Zhong, these ten years are the most critical years for his leadership to be trained. After these ten years of training, Fu Zhong has become more calm and firm.
shows the skills of civil war
The Kuomintang is playing the "white horror" that he has seen when Fu Zhong was studying in France a few years ago, so he is more calm and bolder than ordinary people.
So despite the repeated threats of the Kuomintang, Fu Zhong chose to devote himself to the work in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet Area.
During the years of work in Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet Area, Fu Zhong has successively served as secretary-general and political commissar of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army. In the army, he fought against the fire of war and used his knowledge and skills to the greatest extent.
has compiled a large number of textbooks for the army, such as "Instructions for the Red Army", and has made great contributions to the discipline development of the Red Army troops.
At that time, most of the Red Army were born in " Mud Legs " and could not recognize half a word. How could he be willing to learn and follow the rules and regulations written by Fu Zhong, a "scholar"?
Fortunately, the party organization founded the Military Academy and appointed Fu Zhong as the teacher and served as the principal. Fu Zhong was responsible for the ideological and cultural education work of the army. It can be said without hesitation that the enlightenment teacher in most people in the Red Army at that time was Fu Zhong.
Fu Zhong taught the Red Army to read, understand, and follow the rules in the military school. Very good results were achieved soon, and the people's calls were everywhere the Red Army went. The early scenes of China's support for the military and patriotism were influenced by the military education of the military school.
Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Zhong’s work content has changed, and now it is mainly political work. It is undeniable that political work is equally important in the military.
During this period, Fu Zhong continued to write and wrote many times, including "On the Issues of Revolutionary Army Construction" and "On the Hilltopism", among which "On the Hilltopism" was personally praised by Comrade Mao Zedong.
1935, Fu Zhong participated in the Long March of the Red Army with his troops. Unfortunately, Fu Zhong unfortunately fell seriously ill in the middle and had to go with the army for treatment.
People with ulterior motives think that Fu Zhong's disease can be "winned" directly. In fact, although Fu Zhong was seriously ill, he still tried his best to do all the logistics support for the organization.
After arriving at the meeting place, he found that Fu Zhong had already mobilized local people to raise good supplies. Fu Zhong efficiently completed the recruitment work in a short period of time and raised a large amount of military rations and necessary medical supplies for the Red Army.
What can be remembered in history are mostly soldiers who come to the front line. What we cannot deny is that these front line personnel do have dazzling achievements, and they deserve everyone's flowers and applause.
However, it is also undeniable that logistics personnel like Fu Zhong are also worth remembering.
The Long March of the Red Army is a great strategic shift that is rare in global history. It overturned the limits of mankind. It is worthy of becoming a great epic in the magnificent history.
However, this great cause that breaks through the limits of humans and cannot be realized without any link. Although Comrade Fu Zhong spent most of his time in the Long March, his efforts were also heroic.
Not long after, Fu Zhong met his old classmate Comrade Deng Xiaoping again. The two of them had been separated for many years and never thought that they would be like this.
During the conversation, he heard that Comrade Deng Xiaoping's horse died of illness on the way. Comrade Deng Xiaoping said that he had walked the far road by himself, and he was not afraid of the next road.
Deng Xiaoping and Fu Zhong
Fu Zhong heard it and said: "How can this work? You still have to lead the army. If you fall down, what should the army do?" So Fu Zhong prepared three magic weapons for Comrade Deng Xiaoping: A fox fur coat, a horse, and a pack of jerky beef.
In October 1936, the Red Army entered the congress stage. When he arrived in Huining, Gansu, Comrade Deng Xiaoping said to everyone: "I was able to successfully complete the Long March thanks to Comrade Fu Zhong's three magic weapons!"
In 1945, Chiang Kai-shek betrayed his faith and tore up the "Double Ten Agreement". Fu Zhong was the president of Xinnan Daily at this time. He personally wrote a large number of editorials to criticize Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal and unprincipled behavior. Using the influence of public opinion, he guided the masses to establish correct values
3 After the outbreak of civil war , he was transferred back to Yan'an to continue to serve as deputy director of the Political Department of the Central Military Commission. Under his efficient work dispatch, a new elite team of political commissars was quickly established, which strongly supported our army's work in the War of Liberation.
Comrade Fu Zhong's contribution in the war has always been like this. It is not easy for ordinary people to see it at a glance, but if you observe carefully, you will find that the work he has carried out is impossible to replace by anyone.
Fu Zhong has always been unknown, down-to-earth and capable. His personality and his excellent ability to do things often make him trusted by many direct leaders.
Chairman Mao told the soldiers more than once: "Come to me about the army, and you can tell Political Commissar Fu Zhong for everything else." shows Chairman Mao's trust in Fu Zhong.
Great ideological construction engineer
After the founding of New China, Fu Zhong has been serving as deputy director of the People's Liberation Army Political Department. Mainly responsible for promoting the Party’s ideological and cultural leadership in the military.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is another "idle job". Some people even say to Fu Zhong jokingly: "Your job is equivalent to retirement!"
In fact, outsiders watch the excitement, while insiders watch the tricks. Only those in the army can understand how much weight is behind this job.
Since the founding of the Communist Party of China, it has insisted on arming and liberating people with Marxist thought. The most intuitive manifestation of this kind of leadership is the Party’s leadership on ideology .
The Party is the only one who can grasp ideological leadership. Only in this way can our Party and our army maintain a unified pace. The political position held by Comrade Fu Zhong is to play a role as a matchmaker.
The development of the human brain determines that everyone has their own thinking. Comrade Fu Zhong’s job is to focus the different thinking of millions of soldiers on Marxist thought.
made the soldiers believe that Marxism has undergone historical tests and has progressive ideas.As the saying goes, "The people have faith and the country has strength." The identities of soldiers are first of all independent natural persons, and then they are soldiers who defend their country.
let the soldiers be influenced by Marxism, so that the army can be cohesive and talk about improving the military's combat capabilities.
Comrade Fu Zhong has been in the army's political and cultural propaganda work for many years, and has created a number of outstanding soldiers with progressive Marxism for the country. This is of great significance to the team building of our army and our party.
Comrade Fu Zhong devoted his life to the most magnificent cause in the world. Since studying in Paris, he has been a member of the Communist Party of China.
After returning from studying abroad, he was not afraid of all the threats of "white terror" and resolutely chose to go to Yan'an to participate in party building work.
Perhaps at the beginning, it can even be said that today in the 21st century, there will still be people who question whether the work of such a republic’s founding meritorious service is necessary.
But anyone with a little cultural heritage and conscience will definitely not ignore the contributions of people like Comrade Fu Zhong to the army and peace in the 14 years of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the 4 years of the War of Liberation.
In 1989, Comrade Fu Zhong died in Beijing due to ineffective rescue of illness. Even the year before his death, he was still working on the bed. That year, he won the Red Star Merit Medal.
After his death, he attracted great attention from home and abroad. Xinhua News Agency , who worked in his lifetime, even posted a post saying: "It is a rare ideological construction engineer since the founding of New China, and a brave and fearless soldier of the proletarian ..."
Nowadays, Comrade Fu Zhong's image has been brought to the big screen by many patriotic film and television works. Comrade Fu Zhong's revolutionary spirit is still influencing batches of Chinese youth.
