won’t know if you don’t check it. If you check it, you will be shocked. Gu Guishan’s history is really not simple.
On the afternoon of September 16, 1935, the Red Army arrived at Lazikou in the Long March and crossed Lazikou, which meant that the Kuomintang army's plan to block the Red Army from heading north was completely bankrupt. However, there is a narrow passage in the middle of Lazi's mouth, and there are cliffs on both sides. The enemy has built fortifications, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. The vanguard's Red 1st Regiment and the Red 4th Regiment charged from the front several times, but they all failed.
The commander of the Red 1st regiment Gu Guishan checked the terrain and discussed with the commander of the Red 4th regiment Huang Kaixiang. The Red 1st regiment attracted the enemy's firepower in the front, and the Red 4th regiment climbed up to the top of the mountain from the cliff to attack from the rear.
under the capture of both sides, the Red Army won the Lazikou battle. This battle made Chairman Mao remember Gu Guishan, the leader of the Hongyi regiment, so he called him to participate during the National Day.
staff followed the clues and found out that Gu Guishan participated in the Pingxingguan Battle during the Anti-Japanese War. In a battle, his eyes were injured due to the attack of Japanese poisonous gas bombs and could only leave the battlefield for treatment. After his eyes recovered, he could not return to the army due to physical reasons. The organization arranged for him to serve as the director of the 115th Division Health Center.
After the founding of New China, he was transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture and was later appointed as the director of Henan Commerce. However, he believed that he was not educated and was unable to do heavy work due to physical injuries, so he resigned and went to the mountainous area of Lin County, Anyang to work as an ordinary farmer in 1951. During this period, the Central Committee also appointed him as commander of the Henan Provincial Military Region and asked Luo Shaoyi, a political commissar of the Jiangsu Military Region, to hand over the appointment letter to him, but Gu Guishan still refused this position.
Gu Guishan and Yang Gui
1959 In the autumn of Autumn, when a staff member from Beijing explained his purpose to Lin County Party Secretary Yang Gui, Yang Gui was also very surprised. He had never heard of a general named Gu Guishan in the county. Through the loudspeakers of the whole county, I finally found this old Red Army soldier in Xiayuan Village, Yuankang Town. I was working in the village and didn't look like the commander of the Red Army.
Yang Gui and his group came to Xiayuan Village and saw a farmer dressed in worn-out clothes and wrinkled face planting trees. The staff excitedly stepped forward and held his hand and said, "Senior Gu, you have made us suffer so much! The Chairman is waiting to see you!"
The villagers were shocked when they found out. Gu Guishan had just worked in the village for many years. Whoever asked him about being the Red Army said that he was a horse feeder, but who knew that his official position was so big!
Hearing the three words "Chairman Mao", Gu Guishan's eyes were wet. He said with emotion: "Chairman Mao still remembers me!"
Gu Guishan cleaned up briefly, went to Beijing with the staff, and met Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao held his hand and refused to let go for a long time, saying, "Comrade Guishan, you play hide-and-seek for me, so it makes me suffer!"
Gu Guishan burst into tears, holding Chairman Mao's right hand in both hands and said, "Chairman, I miss you day and night! Thanks to the Chairman for not forgetting me, not forgetting that we are a red ball!"
The two talked about the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Anti-encirclement and Suppression, Dadu River, Lazikou and other battles that Gu Guishan participated in that year. The Chairman praised Gu Guishan for his bravery and wisdom in the war.
Chairman Mao asked him why he abandoned his official job and farming. Gu Guishan said, "It's not that I don't want to continue to contribute to the construction of the motherland, but I am really not competent for those jobs!"
Gu Guishan
Chairman Mao said, "You are also contributing to the country when engaging in agricultural production. It's just that the working environment in the country is relatively poor, and you are physically injured."
Gu Guishan said, "Chairman, although I can't do too heavy work, planting trees or something is OK."
Chairman Mao sighed, "Comrade Guishan, you are a real Communist!"
Gu Guishan abandoned his official position and became a farmer, and was also heard from Chairman Mao spread wildly. The government wanted to give him preferential treatment and asked his family to move to the city. Gu Guishan said that he had subsidies and his life was OK, but he refused them all.

Gu Guishan attended the National Day ceremony in Beijing, taking photos with Liu Hulan's mother, Dong Cunrui's father, Song Xueyi, one of the five heroes of Langya Mountain.Then he returned to the mountainous area of Lin County to continue farming, and did not mention meeting with the villagers.
He worked as a chef in the Xiayuan Village People's Commune, participated in the construction of the Hongqi Canal water conservancy project, and helped coordinate the troops to dig out the remaining high-quality steel brazers and explosives from the tunnels during the resistance and aid to Korea. Gu Guishan made an indelible contribution to the successful completion of the Hongqi Canal!
In 1986, Gu Guishan passed away and ended his legendary life.
