Before revealing the answer to this mystery, let us review the magnificent life of General Chen Geng in detail. Chen Geng is from Xiangxiang, Hunan. His grandfather used to be the leader of Hunan Army . It can be said that Chen Geng was born in a family of generals, and because of this, he was immersed in his childhood and showed a quick thinking that was different from ordinary people. In his youth, Chen Geng joined the Chinese Communist Party , and his decision directly affected his later life.
In 1924, due to the need to improve his military literacy and the training of talents within the party, Chen Geng, after studying assiduously in , was successfully admitted to the most complete and advanced military academy in China at that time - Huangpu Military Academy. The first batch of students enrolled in the school, and his contemporaries are the famous Xu Xiangqian, Hu Zongnan , Song Xilian , etc. It can be said that they are like stars.
During his study at the Whampoa Military Academy, Chen Geng was extremely hardworking, and his efforts were ultimately reflected in his rapidly improving military literacy and combat ability. Jay".
During his studies in Huangpu, the principal of school was Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Kuomintang at that time. Chiang Kai-shek also valued Chen Geng's talent very much, and hoped to train Chen Geng into a usable talent . During the Second Eastern Expedition, it was specially arranged to transfer Chen Geng to his side to be responsible for the protection work.
Chiang Kai-shek's troops at that time had shown signs of disillusionment due to the long-term exhaustion of boats and vehicles and the inability to attack the destination Huayang County. In the hands of the enemy, he was finally surrounded by the enemy's superior forces and . Chiang Kai-shek himself was also in crisis. At such a critical moment, Chen Geng appeared. He carried Chiang Kai-shek and ran away, and finally escaped successfully. The encirclement of the enemy, the whole process can be said to be thrilling.
With such a life-and-death experience, Chen Geng won the favor and trust of Chiang Kai-shek even more, and Chen Geng's prestige and fame have also been greatly improved. At that time, neither of them thought that the next time they met again, they would It will be a life-and-death hostile relationship.
After the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, Chen Geng followed the Communist Party's crusade to the South and the North, and won unanimous praise from the leaders of all walks of life at that time. In the later War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chen Geng was entrusted with important tasks and became the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. brigade commander of the 386th Brigade.In the battle, Chen Geng was very heroic and tactical. He defeated enemies several times his own with inferior troops many times. It can be said that he was a victorious general.
In this way, after Chen Geng made a series of contributions to the establishment of New China, he began to make suggestions for the construction of New China. Because after the war, it was no longer necessary to lead troops to fight, so Chen Geng was assigned a special task by Chairman Mao. , that was responsible for the construction of the first military academy in New China at that time, which was used to cultivate high-quality modern military talents needed by the country.
Chen Geng himself has no experience in founding schools, but Chairman Mao believes that Chen Geng has a high degree of education and has quite rich combat experience in the past years, and is suitable as the founder of a military academy. Chen Geng finally took on such a special task, and in order to complete this task, Chen Geng can also be said to do his best.

In the end, the school's site was selected as in a developed heavy industry, and the quality of human resources Higher Harbin . After the site selection of
is determined, it is necessary to start the formal construction work. One of the first problems faced is that at that time, the site selection of the school was not in the domestic academic center, and the relevant teachers were relatively scarce. Chen Geng could only find military personnel from all over the country. Accomplished scholars in the academic field and hired them to teach in Harbin. However, in the domestic environment at that time, the selection of professors also needed to be signed and approved by Premier Zhou himself. At that time, Premier Zhou also founded the country because of . At the beginning, various foreign affairs work was required, and it was rare to have free time all day long. In order to ensure the progress of the school's construction, Chen Geng chose to go to Premier Zhou's home every day before he went to work and asked him to sign.
Huang Tian did not bear the painstaking efforts. After various efforts, the construction progress of the school was guaranteed. After one year and three months, the construction of and of the military industry was completed. This is the first comprehensive military academy in new China. It also cultivated a series of high-quality talents for the later development of China's military industry. General Chen Geng's contribution in the construction of the school cannot be buried. At that time, Premier Zhou also sighed repeatedly, saying that General Chen Geng's work efficiency is very high.
Due to the various old wounds left by the war, and the heavy workload after the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Chen Geng, who refused to stop to rest and work, finally died in March 1961 due to a sudden heart attack , Central Due to the outstanding contribution of General Chen Geng himself, he chose to bury General Chen Geng in the Martyrs Cemetery in Babao Mountain.
The time came to 2011. Before the death of General Chen Geng's second wife Fu Ya, he once explained to his children that General Chen Geng's wish was to be able to return to his hometown after death. Because of this, the central government approved the relevant situation after learning about it.
