One night in 1973, Deng Xiaoping, who had just returned to Beijing, was about to rest, but his old subordinate You Taizhong suddenly knocked on his door. It was a special period at that time, and Deng Xiaoping had nothing to do to work at home. He was shocked to see that You Taizhong, who was already a general, arrived late at night.

Cowherd You Taizhong

You Taizhong's family is poor and lost his father in his early years. You Taizhong is not old but supports this family with his mother. By helping the rich families in the village to herd cattle, chop firewood, and do some miscellaneous work, they barely survived.

At that time, the only way to get education was to go to private school . Although the family could not afford the school cost, , You Taizhong always secretly eavesdropped on outside the classroom. The gentleman was kind-hearted and did not drive him away when he saw that he was eager to learn.

Although You Taizhong has a bad background, he has a good memory of , it is not an exaggeration to say that he never forgets everything. In a few days, I memorized the thick three-character scriptures and memorized it. The teacher was amazed when he found out.

Unexpectedly, one day, You Taizhong, who went out to herd cattle, actually lost the cow from the rich family. Then the rich family is not a good family. If he knew about this, he might have killed You Taizhong. In order to save your life, You Taizhong had to go to the Red Army garrison not far from home to take refuge .

The Red Army squad leader at that time saw that You Taizhong was a big man, so he tried to keep You Taizhong in the army. It happened that You Taizhong also yearned for the Red Army that protected him, so You Taizhong joined the Red Army.

The noble man in life

After You Taizhong joined the Red Army, because man is tall and big, he became the trumpeter in the company .

Long March The conditions were difficult during the journey, and You Taizhong unfortunately got infected with Malaria. In order to avoid the enemy's pursuit, the troops were unable to carry the wounded and sick. Fortunately, You Taizhong was seen by the political commissar of the Red Army at that time. He felt that it was a pity that You Taizhong, the military material, was broken here, and , so he arranged for him to walk with his ponytail and saved You Taizhong's life.

You Taizhong did not disappoint the political commissar. He followed the troops and became a veritable powerful general.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, You Taizhong, who was already the regiment commander, met Deng Xiaoping, who was the political commissar in the 129th Division at that time. What made the two truly brothers was also caused by a sudden attack by the Japanese army.

At that time, Deng Xiaoping, the political commissar of the Division, came to You Taizhong's delegation headquarters to inspect the work. Unexpectedly, the Japanese had already intercepted the news of Deng Xiaoping's travel and mobilized troops to launch a fierce offensive to the garrison of You Taizhong's troops.

You Taizhong remained calm in the face of danger and immediately arranged for his soldiers to protect Deng Xiaoping and move to a safe place. himself led the troops to attract Japanese firepower . After a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese army not only did not hurt Deng Xiaoping at all, but was beaten by You Taizhong and fled in panic. Deng Xiaoping, who escaped from death, was grateful to You Taizhong, and also admired the bravery and fearlessness he showed in the battle. In the War of Liberation, Deng Xiaoping always asked his subordinate You Taizhong to take charge of the most difficult tasks , which is enough to show his trust in You Taizhong's ability to command combat. You Taizhong is also very committed to his mission and always completes the mission successfully without being hurt.

After the founding of New China , You Taizhong relied on himself to create the rank of major general, and was a veritable general in battle. But he still respects his old leader and the old squad leader very much. He always visits his senior who has helped him whenever he has time.

Goodbye Deng Xiaoping

1973, Deng Xiaoping had just returned to Beijing from Jiangxi. It was a very special period at this time. Deng Xiaoping was arranged to work at home and had a very sensitive identity. In order to avoid suspicion, others dare not come to visit Deng Xiaoping even if they have a good relationship with him. Deng Xiaoping knew his situation well, so when You Taizhong, who was already a general, appeared at Deng Xiaoping's doorstep, he was shocked.

You Taizhong didn't care at all and said bluntly that he couldn't control what others thought about, but he had to be worthy of himself. The old leader returned to Beijing and came to see whatever he said.Deng Xiaoping originally felt that this old subordinate was still ignorant at this age and did not know how to avoid suspicion, but after hearing You Taizhong's words, he was very moved and invited You Taizhong into the house.

Both of them were soldiers who had been in the military for half their lives. You Taizhong habitually wanted to hand over cigarettes to Deng Xiaoping, but he didn't expect that Deng Xiaoping was one step ahead of him and handing him cigarettes to himself first. After lit the cigarette, Yu Taizhong tasted it in one go. The cigarette has many impurities and , which is not a good cigarette.

You Taizhong felt very heavy when he saw that Deng Xiaoping, whom he respected, had to rely on this inferior cigarette to enjoy it. I also thought that 's old leader had fought for most of his life, but now he can't even smoke a good cigarette. Yu Taizhong felt even more uncomfortable.

After leaving Deng Xiaoping's home, You Taizhong could no longer help it and hurried to the nearest military store, and bought Chinese cigarettes to send it to Deng Xiaoping. The store manager was very surprised. Although You Taizhong was already a general, his daily life was still frugal and simple, and he had never seen him spend such a large amount of money.

You Taizhong only replied with a word to give it to someone, so he stopped explaining it. He grabbed the cigarette and knocked on Deng Xiaoping's door, and handed him five Chinese cigarettes. Yu Taizhong's actions moved Deng Xiaoping deeply. While lit the Chinese cigarette, he sighed: hasn't smoked such a good cigarette in a long time... is just like this. You Taizhong couldn't control his emotions and shed tears. He also promised Deng Xiaoping that if Chinese cigarette is gone, tell him at any time that he would send the cigarette to himself.

Pure soldier

You Taizhong is a pure traditional soldier with a straightforward personality and never cared about the eyes of others. Instead, acts according to the bottom line in his heart . His keeps his trust and loyalty is praised by everyone in the army. Not only are his subordinates loved it, but many of You Taizhong's superiors have also become his heart-to-heart brothers. This kind of trust continues from the battlefield to outside the battlefield.

What is more valuable is that no matter what height Yu Taizhong has reached, always has gratitude and respect for those who have helped him in his life, and has never been complacent and arrogant . General You Taizhong was awarded the rank of general in 1988 and sent away many of his old comrades, General You Taizhong died in 1998.
