But Han Xianchu couldn't sit in the agency and wanted to go to the front line to lead troops to fight. Xiao Jinguang understood his feelings and asked him to continue to serve as the commander of the 41st Army.
This is where the myth of liberation of Hainan Island by wooden ships warships . Han Xianchu's ability to create one war miracle after another is inseparable from the support and trust of the old leader Xiao Jinguang.

Not every general can take photos of his handshake with Chairman Mao. Xiao Jinguang and Han Xianchu were both stayed. Chairman Mao relied on them very much and loved them very much.
Time flies in 1984. Coincidentally, Han Xianchu was elected vice chairman of the National People's Congress last year, while Xiao Jinguang stepped down as vice chairman of the National People's Congress last year. They seem to be having a relay race.
Faced with another brand new position, Han Xianchu will of course come to learn from the old leader again. He and Xiao Jinguang left another precious photo.
