On September 27, 1955, the award ceremony of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was grandly held in Huairen Hall, Zhongnanhai. Many generals in the army were awarded military ranks of different levels , and the "Top Ten" founding marshals also emerged from this.
However, many unexpected things happened at this rank award ceremony. Among them, a general named Zheng Weisan made the rank award personnel feel embarrassed because he had already taken off his military uniform and could not be granted any military rank.
However, when Chairman Mao saw that Zheng Weisan's name was not on the last list of awards, he discussed with Premier Zhou and finally made a decision : "Although Comrade Zheng Weisan cannot be awarded military rank, in my opinion, he should be rated as the third level of administrative level and enjoy the treatment of the vice premier."
Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou
Who are Zheng Weisan? Why did he receive such high praise from Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou? Why didn’t he continue to hold a position after the founding of the People’s Republic of China?
outstanding talent and pioneering revolutionary ideas
In the childhood experiences of most proletarian revolutionary patriots, there are many comrades who have suffered from oppression by the old feudal system such as landlords and chose to resist. However, Zheng Weisan is different because he was born in a landlord's family. Although
has eliminated the hard experience of lack of food and clothing, Zheng Weisan has suffered no less than others.
zheng Weisan
902, he was born in Huang'an County, Hubei Province. His original name was zheng Zhihuai . Because he was the eldest son in the family, his father had great expectations for him and invited a special private school teacher to teach since he was a child. However, the good times did not last long. As the Qing government reached the end, the Zheng family was also affected by the change of the times. Fortunately, Zheng's father knew the current affairs and never bullied others because of the power in his hands. Then he saw the decline in the late Qing Dynasty and began to absorb advanced ideas, and also made progress with his family.
Zheng Weisan
all say that "a lean camel is bigger than a horse." Although the Zheng family was defeated, the minimum problem of food and clothing was no problem. Coupled with the previous connections, it was enough for Zheng Weisan to continue to receive new school education. He also specially hired a teacher who taught the idea of " Sun Yat-sen Three Principles of the People" as his teacher. In 1912, the last emperor of the late Qing Dynasty, Puyi, abdicated, and the Chinese people ended the feudal ruling society for more than two thousand years. However, under the chaotic social situation, the warlords entrenched in various places to cause trouble, and the foreign invaders are eyeing each other, and the people still have a rare peaceful life.
Zheng Weisan
At this time, Zheng Weisan was already 10 years old and had some understanding of the current social environment. At the same time, he also knew the difficulties at home and swore to his father: " I must succeed in learning and revitalize the family's foundation in the future."
Looking at his son's firm eyes, Zheng's father "I hope my son will become a dragon" 's idea is even stronger. However, he did not expect that Zheng Weisan not only fulfilled his promises later, but also made great achievements that could be included in the genealogy.
918, Zheng Weisan worked hard to get admitted to the Wuchang Hubei Provincial No. 1 Industrial School, and even achieved the third place in the overall ranking. Therefore, he named himself "Zheng Weisan" as an encouragement so that he could continue his efforts.
right one, Zheng Weisan
You should know that Hubei Provincial Lijiazhong Industrial School was founded by " Westernization School ", known as the governor of Huguang . It is also one of the few professional schools at that time. The students who were admitted can be called "The Proud of Heaven" , with outstanding abilities.
Therefore, Zheng Weisan's future is very good, and even Zheng's father was happy to talk to him: " My eldest son will become a great man in the future, and the family rejuvenation is promising in the future."
However, his development did not follow the original expectations, but instead began a new transformation in the other direction.
right one, Zheng Weisan
It turned out that , in the war at that time, the students under the protection of school and teachers were not willing to be "greenhouse flowers", but were eager to join the road of "save the country and the people".
In the passionate speech of the students, Zheng Weisan joined the team of the student movement without hesitation. In the war against Yuan and Long, he was even more accused of being Sun Zhong. The students of Shan Idea represented and organized many protest marches.
However, When Zheng Weisan saw that , Yuan Shikai, who had originally resisted feudal rule, wanted to "proclaim himself emperor" , he couldn't help but feel a little confused. At this time, a classmate named Xiao Chunu from the same school appeared at the right time and explained the communist thought to him.
Xiao Chunu
It is worth mentioning that Xiao Chunu is one of the founders of the Communist Party of China and founded it with Yun Daiying. Many newspapers with ideological enlightenment, such as China Youth, also had contact with Chairman Mao.
Therefore, under the influence of Xiao Chunu, Zheng Weisan deeply realized that only Marxist-Lenin thought was the only correct way to save the Chinese nation from water and fire. Soon, he strengthened his revolutionary beliefs, and also joined the ranks of the communist movement.

919 "May Fourth Movement" broke out, and more and more students took to the streets to sway the flag and shout for the loss of sovereignty in Qingdao, Shandong. Zheng Weisan did not care whether he would fall into prison or not jail , resolutely raised the banner of Marxism-Leninism. Since then, he has become a staunch communist fighter.
Zheng Weisan
922, Zheng Weisan joined the Communist Party of China and refused the school's arrangements to go to Wuchang Higher Normal School to continue his studies and decided to go home to carry out a revolution. However, , his decision was undoubtedly opposed by Zheng's father. "I have read the book for so many years, I hope you can settle down and bring glory to the family. Now you are willing to have a bright future and go some ways to go, and you are really dizzy! "
Zheng's father hopes that his son can get a stable job after further studies. Zheng Weisan also understands what his father thinks, but if there is no peace in the world, how can he live a stable life? He said: "The revolutionary cause in my hometown needs talents, and I cannot stand by and watch. "

Zheng Weisan is as tough as ever. Zheng's father no longer speaks, but just reminds: "Don't rush ahead in everything, saving your life is important. ”
However, as one of the earliest revolutionary fighters to wake up, if he did not have the courage to put life and death out of , how could he have fought a bloody path in that era of rampant power!
Zheng Weisan’s revolutionary path that had been through hardships began...
Difficulties and obstacles, leaving lifelong disability

924, l7 revolution broke out, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party reached their first cooperation . As a person who once believed in Sun Yat-sen's thoughts, Zheng Weisan suddenly became enthusiastic about revolution and entered the Macheng area of Huang'an to promote revolutionary ideas. You should know that the places he chose were remote and deeply influenced by the backward feudal ideas, so it was extremely difficult to carry out propaganda activities. But he made up his mind and said : "In order to win the revolution, no matter how hard the bones are, they have to bite them to death. "

As expected, the locals were very opposed to Zheng Weisan and other foreign personnel, and even joined forces to drive them out. However, Zheng Weisan did not give up, but went door to door to "know it with reason and move it with emotion" and also carried out relevant measures.
In the end, the landlords and bullies in these areas surrendered one after another, and the young and middle-aged people spontaneously organized a peasant self-defense team under their call. The revolutionary ideas were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and became the hottest area of the peasant movement.
More importantly, the local villagers changed their previous attitude towards Zheng Weisan. They not only praised him very much, but also compiled a common saying: "Dong Biwu, Zheng Weisan, lead the people to turn things around."

Zheng Weisan didn't care about these false names at all, but after seeing the local revolutionary situation was very good, he was particularly relieved. However, he did not expect that after Sun Yat-sen's death, Chiang Kai-shek took over the power of the Kuomintang, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party also broke down.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek launched a "counter-revolutionary coup", which immersed the whole country in a white terror atmosphere. Revolutionary activities in Huang'an Macheng and other areas were also persecuted by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and 5,000 comrades disappeared in .

At that time, Zheng Weisan and Dong Biwu were listed as "wanted personnel" by Chiang Kai-shek. However, they were not depressed, but actively organized and rescued trapped people of our party, and then concentrated their efforts to launch " Huangma Uprising " .
This is the first shot of armed resistance in Hubei, Henan and Anhui regions. Since then, as the main member of the establishment of a local revolutionary base, Zheng Weisan has served as the secretary of the county party committee of Huang'an County, the minister of the finance department of the Soviet government, and the acting chairman of the People's Committee of the Soviet government.

It can be said that he is not only one of the initiators of the "Huma Uprising" and one of the founders of the revolutionary base areas in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and his revolutionary achievements cannot be underestimated.
931, Ruijin, Jiangxi held the first Soviet Congress, and Zheng Weisan was appointed as the Soviet government committee member , leading Huang An to fight against the guerrillas in the Macheng area.

932, due to the failure of the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" struggle, the Red Fourth Front Army left the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area and followed the main force to the Long March 5. However, in order to preserve the complete of the base, Zheng Weisan stayed without hesitation and commanded the military and civilians to carry out guerrilla warfare in deep mountains. During this period, his father died of illness, his mother was poisoned to death, and his ex-wife also died tragically because she escaped from the enemy's pursuit.

When he learned that his family members had passed away one after another, he held back his tears and said to himself: "Since the day I participated in the revolution, I have been mentally prepared. Even if one day in the future, I will take this path and will not take a step back. "
It is precisely because more and more revolutionaries have Zheng Weisan and this spirit of fighting for fear of sacrifice that the Communist Party of China can achieve the final victory and we can enjoy the peaceful and prosperous era today.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Zheng Weisan was appointed as the political commissar of the fourth aspect. The division commander at that time was Zhang Yunyi . With the coordinated battle between the two, they won many victories against Japan. In the War of Liberation, he was assigned to the Li Xiannian team, commanded the Central Plains to break through , led our army more than 60,000 people and broke through nearly 300,000 national troops. It is one of the few "victory more " battles, and can be called a "great victory."

However, for Zheng Weisan, who has both contributions and hard work, is rarely known to the world . In addition to the fact that he never boasted about promoting his many heroic deeds, he also had the chronic diseases left over from hard years and was tortured by illness.

In the previous guerrilla warfare, Zheng Weisan always rushed to the front line, and even ate and lived with the soldiers, and was inevitably injured. Coupled with the blow of his family's deaths one after another, he was already exhausted physically and mentally.
However, Zheng Weisan refused to retreat and rested, insisting: " As long as the struggle continues, I must stick to my position and advance and retreat with the Communist Party of China." It was not until after the founding of New China that he put down the burden in his heart and truly rested.

At that time, someone proposed to give Zheng Weisan a free position, but he sternly refused: "Since I can no longer contribute to the country, don't take the false reputation anymore. What's more, many aspiring people are waiting to realize their ambitions , and I should give way."
, with the careful consideration of the party organization, decided to let Zheng Weisan focus on recuperation. However, with his past achievements, Chairman Mao would give him special treatment, and others expressed their strong agreement.
Zheng Weisan and his family
However, what was unexpected was . Zheng Weisan allocated the monthly allowances and some special care to other comrades in need, while he continued to live a frugal life.
"No matter how simple your life is now, it is better than the life when I went up the mountain to fight guerrillas. I have food and drink, and I can still witness the development of New China. I am satisfied enough!"
Zheng Weisan and his family
Zheng Weisan not only has strict requirements on himself, but also allows his children to inherit the spirit of thrift and continue to contribute to the development of the country.
In 1975, he died of illness in Beijing at the age of 73.

This great proletarian fighter defends revolutionary concepts with his life, and also achieves the hard-won victory of the New China with his persistence. He deserves to be engraved on a historical monument and should be loved by the world forever.
