In early summer of 1960, the then president of Harbin Military Engineering College president Chen Geng was recuperating at home. Suddenly, an uninvited guest came to his home, a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Chen Geng
When Chen Geng learned that this girl was the only daughter of Zuoquan , he was very excited and quickly called the little girl to come to his side.
The little girl is named Zuotaibei . She just finished the college entrance examination and had excellent grades, but because she failed the political review, she has not received an admission notice from Harbin Military Engineering College.
html, in a desperate situation, she had to come to Chen Geng for help.After understanding the whole story, Chen Geng said: "You have filled in more social relations."
Zuo Taibei, a descendant of a revolutionary martyr, why can't he pass the political review? What is the hidden truth behind this? What does Chen Geng mean by social relations?
Zuotaibei
Born during the Anti-Japanese War
Speaking of Zuotaibei, I guess many people don’t know much about Zuotaibei, but when it comes to her father Zuo Quan, I believe everyone is familiar with this national hero.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Zuo Quan, as the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, assisted Zhu De and Peng Dehuai repeatedly in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" war, and won the battles such as the Hundred Regiments Battle and the and the Huangyadong Defense Battle.
Zuo Quan was also named and praised by the Central Military Commission for his calm combat style and outstanding command ability.
However, such a rare military talent unfortunately sacrificed his life in the process of covering the transfer of troops, freezing his young life forever at the age of 37, leaving his daughter Zuo Taibei and his wife Liu Zhilan to depend on each other.
1940, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the 35-year-old Zuo Quan finally had a daughter.
Zuo Quan
When Liu Zhilan was giving birth, Zuo Quan was busy with the war. Fortunately, Peng Dehuai and his wife were taking care of each other, so the couple especially liked this girl.
Since this child was born on the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, Peng Dehuai named her Zuo Taibei.
Zuo Taibei's arrival brought a lot of warmth and joy to this family, and Zuo Quan felt even more like a treasure to his daughter. As long as he has time to stay with his wife and daughter, he will change diapers and feed rice soup to Zuo Taibei on behalf of his wife Liu Zhilan, and do his best to love her.
It’s just that not long after such a day, a new round of war broke out. As one of the deputy chief of staff and commanders, Zuo Quan had to leave his wife and daughter to go to the battlefield. During the period of
, Zuo Quan sent them to Yan'an for the safety of his wife and daughter. Although they are separated from each other, the couple will use letters to express their longing. Liu Zhilan will tell Zuo Quan about his daughter's daily life, and Zuo Quan will also talk to his wife about the current situation.
I thought that after the war, the family of three would be able to reunite. Unexpectedly, before Liu Zhilan received the last letter from her husband, she received the bad news of Zuo Quan's sacrifice.
Zuo Quan's last letter to his family carries his deep feelings for his wife and daughter, and it also becomes his last letter to death.
In May 1942, the Japanese army suddenly sent a large number of troops to attack our army's general command center and surrounded it. In addition to the Eighth Route Army, there were many non-armed personnel who had no battlefield experience at that time.
Zuoquan
At that time, Zuoquan gave up the opportunity to break through and decisively chose to stay and cut off the rear. However, the enemy's artillery fire did not give the rear-off personnel a chance to breathe, and attacked them one by one. Zuoquan was unfortunately hit by the shell and died heroically.
The news of Zuo Quan's sacrifice soon reached Yan'an. His wife Liu Zhilan was so angry that she could not accept this fact at all and fainted on the spot.
At that time, Zuo Taibei was only two years old. She didn't know what sacrifice meant, nor did she know why her mother cried every day. But since then, she never saw the father who loved her again.
Since Zuo Quan died, Liu Zhilan has not had a good mental state and often takes the letter Zuo Quan wrote to her in a daze. Others couldn't help but worry about their mother and daughter after seeing it.
Zuo Quan and Zuo Taibei
In that turbulent era, it was very difficult for orphans and widows like them to survive. At this time, Peng Dehuai, who was Zuo Quan's friend during his lifetime, stood up and took the initiative to take the responsibility of taking care of Zuo Taibei, and was very fond of her.
Peng Dehuai's wife is classmates with Liu Zhilan, and she also likes Zuo Taibei very much.
Whenever Liu Zhilan has no time to take care of Zuo Taibei, Peng Dehuai and his wife will take Zuo Taibei to their cave, prepare delicious food for her, tell stories for her, and even coax her to sleep.
President Peng and his wife almost treat Zuo Taibei as their biological daughter.
In order to prevent this "daughter" from leaving any shortcomings in the future because of his father's company. Many times, Peng Dehuai plays the role of a father in front of Zuo Taibei.
Peng Dehuai
Influenced by his father, he was determined to be admitted to Harbin Military Engineering College
6 After Zuo Quan's death, 31-year-old Liu Zhilan remarried to Zuo Quan's former secretary Chen Shouzhong . She also made it clear that Zuo Quan will always be the first in her heart. Even if she remarries, she will take good care of their daughter.
Chen Shouzhong was once the person he trusted the most around General Zuo Quan. He always kept in mind General Zuo Quan's kindness, so he was very good to Liu Zhilan and Zuo Taibeidou, and even took on the responsibility of Zuo Taibei's father.
After the nationwide liberation, the family moved to Beijing to live.
When Zuotaibei was in middle school, Liu Zhilan and Chen Shouzhong suddenly received a notice that they were going to work in a steel pipe factory in Baotou, Inner Mongolia.
Left Taibei
This made Liu Zhilan difficult for him to take him and not take him to go there.
After repeated considerations, in order not to delay Zuo Taibei's study, Liu Zhilan decided to leave her daughter in Beijing and entrust her to Peng Dehuai and his wife for care.
Peng Dehuai and his wife originally liked Zuo Taibei, so they took her back to their home directly.
At that time, there was a little girl in Peng Dehuai's family, who was Peng Dehuai's niece. The two little girls soon got together and became good friends.
During the years when Zuo Taibei lived at Peng Dehuai's home, Peng Dehuai's care for her was meticulous. Zuo Taibei also liked this uncle very much and liked to hear him tell some stories from the Anti-Japanese War, especially the stories about his father Zuo Quan.
Zuo Taibei slowly learned about her father through stories, and her image gradually became clear in her heart. What followed was not only my longing for my father, but more was my respect for him.
Peng Dehuai
Zuo Taibei is proud of having such a father, so he also made up his mind to become a hero who will serve the country and the people like his father in the future.
So when Peng Dehuai asked her which school she wanted to take in the future, Zuo Taibei replied without hesitation: "I want to apply for Harbin Military Engineering College."
Peng Dehuai was very pleased after hearing this and said: "I am worthy of being Zuo Quan's daughter, with the style of your father back then."
At that time, the Harbin Military Engineering College was the first choice for many children of martyrs, and the admission requirements were not low. So in order to be able to successfully enter this school, Zuo Taibei studied very hard. In her three years of high school, her grades have always been among the best.
I thought it would be no problem to be admitted to Harbin Military Industry with Zuo Taibei's grades, but fate played a big joke with her.

1960, when all the classmates around him received the admission letter one after another, Zuo Taibei's admission letter was not received for a long time, and Peng Dehuai and his wife were very anxious about her.
As soon as the results were released, Zuo Taibei saw it.Her total score has far exceeded the admission score line of Harbin Military Engineering College. Logically, I should be admitted, but something must be wrong.
Zuo Taibei suddenly thought about whether there was something wrong with his admission letter when mailing it.
So she quickly asked about the situation, but was told that "the political review was not qualified". Zuo Taibei was stunned on the spot when he heard this news, and Peng Dehuai and his wife were also very surprised.
Peng Dehuai
You should know that Zuo Taibei's father is a martyr and his mother has worked for the revolutionary cause for many years. How could he not pass the political review? So Peng Dehuai suggested that Zuo Taibei go to find Chen Geng, the dean of Harbin Military Engineering College.
Chen Geng has a very good relationship with Zuo Quan. When Zuo Quan joined the party, Chen Geng was his introducer.
When Zuo Taibei went to find Chen Geng, he happened to be recuperating at home. He heard that Zuo Quan's daughter came to find him, so he was so happy.
Zuo Taibei looked at Chen Geng in front of her, feeling a little timid, but in order to be able to enter Harbin Military Engineering College, she still mustered up the courage to explain her purpose.
After hearing this, Chen Geng was furious: "How can Zuo Quan's daughter, why can't she pass the political review? It's just nonsense."
Chen Geng
So he quickly called the school to learn about the situation, and learned the truth of the matter, and then said to Zuo Taibei helplessly: "You have filled in more social relations."
As he wished, he was admitted to Harbin Military Engineering College, but his life was poor
It turned out that there was a second uncle in Zuo Taibei named Zuo Tang , and Chen Geng also knew him. When Zuo Tang and Zuo Quan studied at , Whampoa Military Academy, , the two joined different parties because of their different political beliefs.
Zuo Tang worked in the Kuomintang army after graduation. It was also because of this reason that the two brothers broke off their relationship and never had any contact again.
Zuo Taibei filled in Zuo Tang's name in the second family column when filling out the student political review form. At that time, the government was very sensitive to topics like the Kuomintang, so it defeated Zuo Taibei.
Chen Geng
Zuo Taibei was really amused and crying after learning about this result. She had never met this second uncle before, and had only heard from her mother.
When she filled out the political review form, she just wrote down all her immediate relatives as required, but she didn't expect to dig such a big hole for herself.
Since you know the problem, things will be easier. Chen Geng promised Zuo Taibei: "Bibei, don't worry, I will never allow the hero's daughter to enter our school, so you can go back and wait for good news."
As expected, within a few days, Zuo Taibei received the admission notice from Harbin Military Engineering College. Now she can finally continue her studies in the university she yearns for, and then serve the country like her father.
Left Taibei
During her college years, Zuo Taibei was very hard-working in her studies. As a top student in the Military Engineering Academy, she worked hard to study science and technology, and took it as her mission to develop the national scientific power, always remembering the teachings of Peng Dehuai and Chen Geng to herself before. After graduating from
, Zuo Taibei has lived up to expectations and has worked in the State Economic Commission, the State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Aeronautics and Aerospace and other units. With his own efforts, he became a famous national defense industry expert in my country and made important contributions to my country's aerospace industry.
In addition, Zuo Taibei has been devoted to charity. She and her husband have been saving money and helped many poor people. This also consumed all the savings at home. So much so that even when they bought a house, the couple borrowed money from their friends.
Zuo Taibei and his mother Liu Zhilan
At that time, Zuo Quan wrote a total of 12 letters from home to his wife Liu Zhilan, recording the most sincere feelings of a husband and father towards his wife and daughter. Later, these trustees were sent to Yan'an.
After the passage of time, one of the letters was lost, and the other 11 were completely preserved.
In 1982, my mother Liu Zhilan sent all 11 letters to Zuo Taibei. In addition, there were two other letters.
One letter was written by Zuo Quan and Liu Zhilan for Zhu De's birthday, and the other letter was a handwritten letter submitted to the party organization after Zuo Quan's death, stating the true story of Comrade Zuo Quan's death.
After reading these letters, Zuo Taibei could no longer control himself and cried. From the letter, she truly felt her father's love for her and her true feelings for the revolutionary cause.
zuotaibei
In order to commemorate his father, Zuotaibei edited and organized these letters, and visited his comrades who fought with his father back then to collect stories related to his father.
So in 2002, a book called "Letters from General Zuo Quan" was published. Zuo Taibei wanted to make the letters left by his father public in this way, so that it can become a common spiritual wealth of society.
Zuo Taibei's growth path, although she did not have the company of her father, she received care and help from Peng Dehuai and his wife, Chen Geng and others, and learned about her father's heroic deeds from them, making her proud of having such a father.
Zuo Taibei
As the daughter of a martyr, Zuo Taibei did not use this identity to win special treatment from others. Instead, he works harder than others in his studies and work, and always takes his father as an example. In the end, I became a pillar of the country like my father, and I always practiced the life goal of dedicating my life to the people.
