1955 National Day, Chen Geng brought Xiao Jinguang and Song Renqiong and asked to take a photo with Sister Deng!
This is a very rare photo taken on the Tiananmen Gate Tower on October 1, 1955. Sister Deng Yingchao took a photo with General Chen Geng, General Xiao Jinguang and General Song Renqiong in the bright sunshine. The photographer has good photography skills and uses a camera to record the moments when his elder sister and the founding generals are having fun together.
From the photos, we can see that the three founding generals were wearing brand new 55 military uniforms, which is a set of military uniforms specially designed for the rank awards. In addition to the rank award ceremony and standard photos taken by the generals, this majestic military uniform was officially launched in the entire army on October 1st.
The photos of the founding generals about military rank we saw today are mostly wearing 55-style military uniforms.
On October 1, 1955, a grand ceremony was held to celebrate the 26th anniversary of the founding of New China at Tiananmen Square in . Many founding fathers accompanied Chairman Mao Zedong to watch the ceremony.
Among all the founding generals, Chen Geng is the most special one, not only because of his legendary experience and outstanding achievements, but also because of his humorous personality. He dared to rummage through boxes and cabinets at Premier Zhou Enlai's house to find food, and also dared to run to the podium to drink Chairman Mao Zedong's water at the conference. It is said that the only thing Chen Geng fears in the entire army is Peng Dehuai.
After the ceremony, Chen Geng pulled Song Renqiong and Xiao Jinguang to find Deng Yingchao's elder sister and said to her elder sister: "Sister, today the three of us soldiers want to take a photo with you." So, this very precious photo was found.
In the photo, the eldest sister is wearing a half-old black dress, holding a white handkerchief in her left hand, and her smile on her face is very bright. The eldest sister is deeply respected and loved by everyone. Chen Geng and the others look like little brothers in front of the eldest sister, and even the chairman sometimes calls her eldest sister.
The eldest sister wearing glasses is General Chen Geng. In the photo, Chen Geng's expression is very upright, showing a solemn and somewhat reserved smile. In fact, he is a famous troublemaker, and sometimes even the Chairman and the Prime Minister can do anything to him.
Address Song Renqiong stands on the other side of Deng Yingchao's eldest sister. He once served as political commissar for Chen Geng during the war years. Song Renqiong in the photo is thin, has a very pale face, and is smiling happily. If he hadn't been wearing this majestic general uniform, he would have been like a teacher.
Xiao Jinguang's image in the photo is very eye-catching because he is wearing a dark blue naval uniform. He is the tallest among the four people in the photo. He stands upright. Although he has a smile on his face, his military discipline is strict. Xiao Jinguang is the first naval commander of the new China and is also a famous landslide.
After taking this photo, Chen Geng refused to let his elder sister go. He pulled Li Kenong, Liu Yalou and Zhang Aiping. Everyone happily took a photo together. In that photo, four founding generals were on both sides, and the elder sister stood in the C position, which was more elegant. The founding generals and generals with outstanding military achievements were like her little brother.
