Rare old photos: President Peng and his three political commissars, Teng Daiyuan, Yang Shangkun and Li Fuchun!
This is a very rare photo. Peng Dehuai took a photo with his three old comrades. Coincidentally, these three revolutionaries were once the partners of General Peng and had served as political commissars for him.
The four people in the photo are: Li Fuchun, Peng Dehuai, Yang Shangkun and Teng Daiyuan. They are all wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms, majestic and extraordinary.
The first to serve as the political commissar for General Peng was Teng Daiyuan. They had the earliest and longest cooperation history. As early as when Peng Dehuai launched the Pingjiang Uprising and established the Red 5th Army, Teng Daiyuan was the representative of the military party (political commissar) and secretary of the Military Commission, and later the first political commissar of the Red 3 Corps. Among the four people in the photo, Teng Daiyuan is relatively the least famous because he later transferred to the local area and did not participate in the 1955 rank award, otherwise it is likely to be the rank of general.
Between Peng Dehuai and Teng Daiyuan is Yang Shangkun. He is the second political commissar of the Red 3 Corps after Teng Daiyuan. He experienced the difficult fifth anti-"encirclement" and the Long March with General Peng, and participated in the far-reaching Zunyi Conference. Yang Shangkun in the photo is very young, gentle and very scholarly. He is a "foreign scholar" who came back from the Soviet Union.
Standing on the other side of Peng Dehuai is Li Fuchun. This veteran revolutionary and General Peng have not worked as long as the first two, but helped him solve a big problem: Peng Dehuai and Pu Anxiu tied the knot, which is the master of Li Fuchun! In the photo, Li Fuchun smiled and looked confident and calm.
In fact, among the political commissars who have worked with Peng Dehuai, there is another person who is more famous, that is Chairman Mao Zedong. As the Long March approached the end of the Long March, the of the Shaanxi-Gansu Detachment was established. Peng Dehuai served as the commander, Lin Biao was the deputy commander, and the political commissar was Mao Zedong. However, the chairman did not appear in this photo.
