Welcome to read the 3266th issue of Shiyuan History Column. Among the senior cadres of the People's Army before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, one of them had the qualifications of a general, but he missed the military rank because he had already held an important political position in Sichuan during the 1955 years. This person is Comrade Li Jingquan, the former political commissar of the Jinsui Military Region, who was the former political commissar of the Jinsui Military Region. Li Jingquan has served as Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee since 1952. He is the "top leader" of the party and government in Sichuan. He also has an important influence in the entire southwest region. He is a respected older generation revolutionary.

In the war years, Li Jingquan had a very deep revolutionary experience. The Red Army was the political commissar of the division and worked in the Red One, Red Two and Red Fourth Front Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Li Jingquan was appointed as the political commissar of the 358th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army; during the War of Liberation, he was on par with He Lao in the Jinsui Military Region, and He Long was later named the founding marshal. Li Jingquan is both civil and military. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was appointed as the secretary of the Southwest Bureau by the Central Committee and sent to work in Sichuan. His party, government and military positions are outstanding.

Li Jingquan was the parent official in charge of the country when he was in Sichuan and did a lot of useful work. The old Sichuanese often said, "I will never forget Li Jingquan." In the late 1950s, the country launched the Great Leap Forward movement. Due to some subjective and objective reasons, many places across the country could not have enough food. Sichuan has been the "country of the Heavenly Prefecture" since ancient times, and its grain output is large, so the State Council has put a lot of indicators on Li Jingquan, asking him to find ways to transfer agricultural products to support difficult provinces. In just four years, Li Jingquan tried his best to transfer more than 18 billion jin of grain from outside Sichuan. The situation in the country can gradually improve, and the people of Sichuan have made great contributions, and of course Li Jingquan has also made great contributions.

But it was also those years that Li Jingquan was under tremendous pressure and rarely fell asleep at night. Because Sichuan Province has to pay a huge price to support the whole country. Due to the continuous acceptance of high indicators, the supply of grain in Sichuan Province is also unable to reach, resulting in serious consequences. Li Jingquan started from the overall situation and completed the tasks given by the State Council. However, he always felt very uncomfortable inside and felt that he was very sorry for the people in Sichuan and could not let go until his old age.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Li Jingquan failed to avoid criticism and struggle. Especially during the previous Great Leap Forward, he was asked everywhere for food. Li Jingquan couldn't help but get angry at Peng Zhen: You have the State Council, and I am still a "little State Council" here, and the situation is just as difficult! Then he hung up the phone. These angrily words in are actually understandable. Li Jingquan has done a lot of effort to turn the situation around. It is normal for him to complain occasionally. But later some people made a big fuss, and these words taken out of context became the "evidence" he was criticized repeatedly.

Secretary Li lost his personal freedom, and even his wife and children were implicated and sent to Beijing for criticism. At that time, some people even viciously accused Li Jingquan of establishing an "independence kingdom" in the southwest to fight against the central government. This is simply nonsense. During those years, Secretary Li's wife Xiao Li and second son Li Mingqing were persecuted to death one after another. Among them, Li Mingqing was beaten to death at Beijing Aviation College , which is infuriating and sad.

The greatest pain in the world is that white-haired people give birth to black-haired people. Later, the situation improved and Li Jingquan was also resumed. Premier Zhou felt very sorry for him and made a special trip to comfort Li Jingquan, saying, "You can investigate this matter seriously and investigate it to the end." When the Prime Minister asked Li Jingquan about his opinion, he unexpectedly stated to the Prime Minister: I won’t pursue it anymore! Otherwise, more people will be involved. Li Jingquan is an old cadre with outstanding work and moral character. He always takes the overall situation into consideration at important nodes, which is particularly obvious this time.

Li Jingquan has been in charge of Sichuan for more than ten years, helping many old comrades in unfavorable situations , such as Deng Hua, the former , the fourth general of the Fourth Field html, who was demoted to Sichuan in 1960 as deputy governor. Li Jingquan has given encouragement many times and provided help in life, hoping to restore Deng Hua's position in the military and truly play the role of a general.In the end, Deng Hua returned to the army and became a member of the Central Military Commission. He was very grateful to Li Jingquan for his kindness. Secretary Li was promoted to Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress in his later years and died of illness in 1989. He has been taking care of the overall situation and thinking about others throughout his life.
