Preface
There is an old Chinese saying: Be an official and benefit the people. But in In the 1950s, the only thing Lin Biao did to his hometown was to buy ten trucks, . Moreover, there is a legendary story for these ten trucks.
Lin Biao
The first time I went to the Ministry of National Defense to hit a wall
To clarify the issue of Lin Biao buying a car for his hometown, we must first start with Mr. Liu Jiqun, the former deputy county magistrate of Huanggang County.
Liu Jiqun is from Dalian City, Liaoning Province and was born in 1928. During Japan's invasion of the Northeast, he learned Japanese under the pressure of Japanese bayonets. After Japan surrendered to , he actively participated in the school's patriotic democratic activities and participated in the revolution.
1949, he went south with the Fourth Field Army. Soon, he was assigned to work in the Huanggang County People's Government by the Communist Party of China. He served as section chief, deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance and Trade, minister, deputy county magistrate, vice chairman of the CPPCC, and consultant of the Huangzhou Municipal People's Government.
In addition to being proficient in Japanese, Liu Jiqun is also quite famous in Huangzhou. He still serves as the president of Huangzhou Dongpo Poetry Calligraphy and Painting Association.
In the summer of 1958, relevant central departments held a national handicraft product exhibition in Beijing, the capital, and notified all provinces, cities and autonomous regions to organize relevant personnel to visit Beijing.
According to the notice from the superior, the Huanggang County People's Government decided that Deputy County Mayor Liu Jiqun would organize the heads of the county handicraft cooperative, supply and marketing cooperative , the Commercial Bureau and some county-level factory offices to go to Beijing.
Liu Jiqun met Li Jianan, deputy director of the Huanggang Regional Planning Committee, during his visit to Beijing.
He asked Liu Jiqun: "Do your county have important leaders in the central government and various ministries and commissions?"
Liu Jiqun said yes.
"Which?"
"Lin Biao, Vice Chairman of the CPC Central Committee."
Li Jian'an said: "Okay. He is currently the highest-level official in Huanggang. It is recommended that you seize the opportunity to come to Beijing and find him to support the economic construction of his hometown. If you find it, with his reputation and status, it will definitely not be a problem to do some machinery and materials." Liu Jiqun had never done such things as
before. He said to Li Jianan, "How can I see it?"
"Think of some solutions," Li Jianan continued, "The central leaders all have the concept of hometown. Macheng and Hong'an County have many important leaders in Beijing. Their county magistrates have all gone to find it and have built some machinery and supplies for their hometown. You must find it. This opportunity is too rare."
Liu Jiqun immediately agreed to find a way to meet Lin Biao.
Lin Biao and Zhou Enlai
He returned to the material procurement team of Huanggang County Commercial Bureau in Beijing and met He Guangnan, a material purchaser. He told He Guangnan the opinions of Li Jianan, deputy director of the regional planning committee, and then said, "It is not easy for us to come to Beijing. Please help think of a solution to see how you can meet Vice Chairman Lin."
Although He Guangnan is a purchasing agent, he is very smart and familiar with the situation in Beijing. He thought for a while and said to Liu Jiqun: "I have a blank letter of introduction from the county government here. Write a letter of introduction to the Ministry of National Defense to try it."
Liu Jiqun thought this method was OK, so he agreed to go to the Ministry of National Defense the next day.
That night, Liu Jiqun ordered his staff and county government office cadres Chen Fusheng to write on the blank introduction letter:
Vice Chairman Lin:
Here are the introduction of Deputy County Mayor Liu Jiqun and cadre He Guangnan to report to you the situation and work in their hometown. Please receive it.
This tribute!
Huanggang County People's Government
July X, 1958
When Chen Fusheng was about to write an envelope, He Guangnan immediately held his hand and said, "How to write on the envelope, we need to discuss it."
"Let's write to the Ministry of National Defense to Vice Chairman Lin."
"That's not possible."
"How to write?"
"When he said, "Vice Chairman Lin received it personally." Otherwise, the staff around him would handle it casually by ordinary people."
, sitting next to him, thought He Guangnan's words made sense and planned to let Chen Fusheng write it like this.Then, He Guangnan suggested to Chen Fusheng that the envelope should not be written on the address, and that if the signature is made by the county people's government, the personnel of the Ministry of National Defense will not be transferred to Lin Biao.
Everyone agreed with He Guangnan’s opinion.

The next day after breakfast, Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan came to the defense department. He Guangnan handed the letter of introduction to the sentry standing guard, and introduced Liu Jiqun to the sentry and said, "This is the county magistrate Liu of our county." The sentry had read the letter of introduction and said to Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan, "Go to the reception room inside, where there is a special person to discuss." The person who received Liu Jiqun and his party was a school-level officer. After reading the letter of introduction, he said seriously: "Vice Chairman Lin is not in the Ministry of National Defense, we cannot meet your requirements."
"Where is it?" Liu Jiqun asked.
"I don't know."
"Then can we go inside and talk to the relevant leaders?"
"That won't work."
"Why?"
"Vice Chairman Lin is not in the Ministry of National Defense, so there is no need to go in."
Liu Jiqun thought it was not easy to come to Beijing once, so he asked the reception officer whether he could transfer the letter to Lin Biao. The reception officer did not agree to the transfer, and he said that he could not meet Lin Biao.
's attitude of receiving the officers disappointed Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan. At the same time, they also understand the behavior of the reception officer, because the Ministry of National Defense is an important military agency, and it is their responsibility and obligation to strictly control the entry and exit of non-staff members, reduce the burden on leaders, and ensure the safety of leaders.
The Ministry of National Defense could not enter, and the opinions and letters of introduction could not be transferred to Lin Biao. They decided to return to their residence to discuss the next step of action.
They walked back for a while and always felt unwilling to accept it. He Guangnan thought for a while and suggested to Liu Jiqun: "Is Vice Chairman Lin not the Vice Premier of the State Council? Let's go to the State Council again, maybe there is some hope to get there."
Liu Jiqun thought about it and thought this suggestion was good. He said to He Guangnan, "Go to Xinhuamen and have a look."
so they turned around and walked towards the State Council.
Xinhuamen
talked with Secretary Lin Biao
to Xinhuamen. The sentry standing guard said to He Guangnan: "This is the main gate, and most people cannot enter from here."
He Guangnan asked where to enter, and they came to the side gate of Zhongnanhai .
He Guangnan first introduced himself to the sentry, "We are from Vice Chairman Lin's hometown - Huanggang County, Hubei Province. I want to report to Vice Chairman Lin about the situation in his hometown."
Sentinel heard that it was from Lin Biao's hometown, and a deputy county magistrate came. He first read the letter of introduction, and then thought: It must be very important for these two people to come from Hubei to Beijing to find Vice Chairman Lin.
He picked up the microphone and reported to General Office of the State Council a deputy director named Zhang, the request and thoughts of Liu Jiqun and his party. Deputy Director Zhang told Sentinel on the phone: Two comrades from Huanggang County were waiting at the door for a while, and he immediately came to the door to answer the talks.
After a while, Deputy Director Zhang came out. He read the letter of introduction, took Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan into the reception room of the general office, and asked someone to make tea.
Deputy Director Zhang asked Liu Jiqun: "Vice Chairman Lin lives in Shanghai for a long time to recuperate. He just returned to Beijing. How do you know he is back?"
Liu Jiqun replied casually: "We don't know when he came back, we only know that he is in Beijing."
Deputy Director Zhang asked: "Do you want to see Vice Chairman Lin now?"
"If Vice Chairman Lin has time now, we want to see him."
Deputy Director Zhang said: "Vice Chairman Lin is in a meeting. I will call his secretary first to see what he has to say."
Lin Biao (first from left)
Shortly after, Deputy Director Zhang replied, saying that Lin Biao couldn't get away at the meeting, and the secretary asked Liu Jiqun to answer the phone.
Liu Jiqun picked up the microphone and the secretary's voice came: "Are you Deputy County Mayor Liu?"
Liu immediately replied: "My name is Liu Jiqun."
Secretary said: "Vice Chairman Lin is very busy these days and has no time to see you for the time being.Can you wait here for ten days? ”
Liu Jiqun said: “I have been in Beijing for several days. My family is very busy and I’m afraid I can’t wait that long. "
In fact, the secretary knew very well that if Liu Jiqun wanted to see Lin Biao, it was very likely that he would ask for supplies. So he asked Liu Jiqun to tell himself what he wanted to say and convey it to him.
About an hour later, Deputy Director Zhang came out. He said to Liu Jiqun: "Just just now, the secretary called to tell Vice Chairman Lin the opinion. If you have any questions, go directly to the Ministry of National Defense to discuss. The secretary had called the Ministry of National Defense and told them about Vice Chairman Lin's opinions. "
When Liu Jiqun heard about the Ministry of National Defense to talk, he remembered what happened at the National Defense Department yesterday. He was afraid that he would hit a tough spot again, so he asked himself if he would be driven out again, right? After receiving the accurate reply, he finally felt relieved. After getting this step, Liu Jiqun was very satisfied. He felt that directly talking to Lin Biao's secretary was equivalent to finding Lin Biao, and his wish to make supplies could be realized.
Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan were leaving, and Deputy Director Zhang stood up and said, "You go, I will call the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense immediately and ask them to support you. ”
Liu Jiqun held Deputy Director Zhang’s hand and said, “Thank you, Deputy Director Zhang, I’ll go right away. "
The two of them talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the gate of the Ministry of National Defense.
Liu Jiqun was just talking and did not pay attention to the road. He accidentally hit the wire mesh at the door. His right trouser leg was hung with a big hole, and his feet were also marked with a bloodline.
Because he could not find the needle and thread for a while, Liu Jiqun was only walking in torn pants. Although it was very indecent, there was no way. Fortunately, there was no one who knew them on the streets of Beijing, and no one knew that he was the deputy county magistrate of Lin Biao's hometown.
Lin Biao
solved the problem of car
Soon they came to the Ministry of National Defense again.
The sentry who stood guard last time changed. They first explained their purpose to the sentry. At this time, the sentry had received instructions from the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense: Two guests from Lin Biao's hometown are here, please allow them to enter.
Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan successfully entered the reception room, and they were a deputy director of the General Office.
The deputy director had a very kind attitude. After reading the introduction letters from Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan, he asked Liu Jiqun: "What do you have any requirements? "
Liu Jiqun said: "Our county is located in Hong Kong East , with plains, hills and mountainous areas. At present, our county is particularly short of machinery such as automobiles, diesel engines, tractors. If the Ministry of National Defense has these things, please support us in view of Vice Chairman Lin. "
After hearing this, the deputy director immediately asked someone to send a pen and a few pieces of paper, and said to Liu Jiqun: "What materials do you need? Please write them on it. "
Liu Jiqun immediately wrote the necessary materials. After the deputy director passed the exam, he went to another place to discuss with relevant officials of the Ministry of National Defense.
After a while, the deputy director came in with a smile. He said to Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan: "Other materials are not easy to deal with. Let's give you a fifteen trucks in the county for transportation. We will write you a letter to the General Logistics Department to approve it. "
At that time, cars were quite tight supplies.
Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan heard that they had solved so many cars at one time, and they felt indescribable happiness in their hearts, and immediately agreed, "Yes, yes." "
The deputy director personally picked up the pen and wrote a official letter to the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army. The general idea is: Huanggang County is short of cars, please help solve the problem of fifteen vehicles. After the deputy director of
wrote the letter, he encapsulated it in an envelope, and handed it to Liu Jiqun: "You take this letter to the General Logistics Department. What car is given, how much it costs, and where it picks up is decided by the General Logistics Department. ”
Liu Jiqun received the official letter and said gratefully: “Thank you for your concern and support for Huanggang. ”
When they went out, the deputy director sent a trip enthusiastically. Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan knew in their hearts that Lin Biao had played a role in the Ministry of National Defense's attitude of receiving cadres.
Lin Biao
Back to his residence and rested for a while. Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan didn't care about eating rice, so they took a bus to the General Logistics Department to complete the car approval procedures.
A person in charge of the General Logistics Office of the General Logistics Office read the official letter from the General Defense Office and asked, "Are you Lin Biao's fellow villager?" Then he said to himself, "There was no such thing in the past. How could a county come to the General Logistics Office to ask for a car?"
He Guangnan saw that the deputy director had doubts about them, so he told him the whole process of the matter.
The deputy director was afraid that He Guangnan would say it was unreliable, so he called the phone to the General Office of the Ministry of National Defense. The other party said that Huanggang County is indeed Lin Biao's hometown and is currently in particular need of cars. According to Vice Chairman Lin's opinion, the General Office of the State Council requires the troops to support it. This matter has been consulted with the leaders of the Ministry of National Defense, hoping that the General Logistics Department will send the cars to Vice Chairman Lin’s hometown in full. The matter was cleared, but the deputy director couldn't make the decision, so he took the official letter to ask the leaders of the General Logistics Department.
At that time, the troops were not very sufficient. It was quite difficult for any unit to transfer fifteen cars at a time. Since Lin Biao wanted a car in his hometown, the General Logistics Department had to give it to him.
After research, several leaders from relevant departments of the General Logistics Department, considering that the troops were too nervous, they decided to reduce the indicator by five vehicles and buy only ten vehicles for Huanggang County, each vehicle priced at 4,000 yuan.
Deputy Director of the General Office of the General Office said to Liu Jiqun: "Huanggang is a county with a glorious revolutionary tradition and has made great contributions to the Chinese revolution. It has produced Chen Tanqiu, Vice Chairman Lin, famous revolutionaries of Zhang Hao (i.e. Lin Yuying ), Lin Yunan, and famous scientists such as Li Siguang . As a military force, we should support the construction of Huanggang County. But you also need to know that the current military's cars are also very nervous and we really can't send out fifteen vehicles. Please forgive me." The deputy director of
said very well, and Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan kept nodding to express their understanding.
Former Soviet Gis Auto
Liu Jiqun and He Guangnan got approval from the General Logistics Department and thought to themselves: Although the indicator has been deducted by one third, the problem has been implemented, not to mention that the price of each car is 4,000 yuan, which is actually a small sale and big gift. If you tell your family this news, it will definitely shake East Hubei.
After they expressed their gratitude to the leaders of the General Logistics Department, they happily returned to their residence.
Later, when He Guangnan went to the General Logistics Department to handle the procedures for picking up the car in Guangdong, a person in charge of the General Office heard that he was from Lin Biao's hometown, so he insisted that he give a report to the agency cadres introducing the development of his hometown. Perhaps it was He Guangnan's "report" that moved the generals of the General Logistics Department. After he finished speaking, a leader of the General Logistics Department of told him: In order to support the construction of Vice Chairman Lin’s hometown, the General Secretary decided to give Huanggang County a powerful diesel engine.
After He Guangnan came out of the General Logistics Department, he immediately returned to his residence in Qianmen Hotel.
Liu Jiqun asked him why he had been there for so long. He vividly told Liu Jiqun about the report made by the General Logistics Department. After hearing this, Liu Jiqun laughed and said, "Although this time I was put on the shelves, I got a diesel engine for a report, and it was still worth it!"
At this time, the national handicraft exhibition was not over yet, and people from all over the country had not left Beijing. The news that Lin Biao had brought ten cars for his hometown at one time quickly spread in the capital.

Ten taels of cars caused a sensation in the province
January, the Huanggang County People's Government mentioned cars in Guangdong. When the
car drove to Wuhan, it caused a lot of sensation, and many people came to watch the cars Lin Biao built for his hometown. Many units in Hubei Province envy these ten cars and ask Huanggang County to sell one to two cars for them.
The relevant departments of Huanggang County borrowed 40,000 yuan when considering buying a car. With the approval of the county people's government, they sold two vehicles to Wuhan City at a price of 20,000 yuan per vehicle.
At that time, there were still very few domestic cars. Two of the eight cars picked up from Guangdong are American trucks and six are Soviet-made goods.American cars were trophy seized from the Kuomintang troops during the Liberation War, and Soviet cars were left to the Central Army when the Soviet army evacuated from the Northeast. Although these eight cars are a bit old, they are not used much, have good maintenance and are of relatively new quality.
In the 1950s, transportation in Huanggang was underdeveloped and there were few cars. Eight cars were added to the county all at once, and it was needless to say how happy the cadres and the masses were.
Lin Biao made eight cars for his hometown at once, which not only caused a sensation in Hubei Province, but also envied other counties in eastern Hubei. When the car drove into Huangzhou City, the county transportation department held a large welcome ceremony on Shengli Street and set off many firecrackers. All officials from all sizes and sizes at home in the county people's government attended the welcoming ceremony. As soon as the
ceremony ended, eight cars drove to Lin Biao's hometown, , and returned to Longshan .
At that time, there was no road in Linjia Dawan , so the car could only drive to Tangpuling, a 15-kilometer away from Linjia Dawan. Lin Biao's close relatives in the Lin Family Bay and men, women, and young and old in the bay rushed to the Tangpuling Highway to see.
The next day, the Huanggang County People's Government also sent a "Thank you" to Lin Biao who was in Beijing. But it is unknown whether Lin Biao received this "thank you letter".

With eight cars, Huanggang County established a car team. This is the first county-level automobile team established in Hubei.
Since then, Huanggang's road bus passenger and freight industries have gradually begun.
1960, the national transportation department carried out institutional reforms, and Hubei Provincial Department of Transportation took this opportunity to establish Automobile Transportation Company . Because there were not many cars in the provincial automobile company, the eight cars that Lin Biao bought for his hometown were transferred by the province.
Although the batch of cars that Lin Biao bought for his hometown did not last long, it still played a great role in promoting Huanggang's economic construction. There were four districts in Huanggang that did not have highways. With these eight cars, only highways were available. Agricultural and sideline products produced by ordinary people in the mountainous areas could also be quickly transferred to the docks through cars and then transported to Wuhan and Shanghai.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. It was not until the 1970s that Huanggang's transportation industry gradually developed.
or above is the story of Lin Biao buying a car for his hometown.
