1971 President Chen took a photo with Mr. Nie to take a photo on his 70th birthday. This is the last photo of the two old coaches!
This is a very rare photo taken on August 26, 1971. This day is the 70th birthday of Mr. Chen. Both of them were recuperating in Beidaihe at that time. Chen Yi and held Nie Rongzhen and said, " This year, the army was founded for 45 years, and we have been in the army for 45 years. Come, our two old comrades, old friends, and old fellow villagers are old men. Let's take a photo together to commemorate them! "
The photographer pressed the shutter, leaving us this unforgettable moment.
In the photo, the two old men were wearing military uniforms and had a neat military appearance. They both wore the very ordinary 65-style military uniforms of that era. They sat calmly on the rattan chair, smiling and looking at the camera. Except for the shoes on their feet, their hats, clothes, sitting postures, chairs and even smiles were exactly the same!
Chen Yi and Nie Rongzhen are old comrades-in-arms. Both participated in the Nanchang Uprising and both played an important role, but they did not have much interaction since then. Red Army During the period of the Red Army , Nie Rongzhen was the political commissar of the Red 1st Army and the main force, and Chen Yi served as the commander of the Jiangxi Military Region; later Nie Rongzhen followed the main Red Army Long March , and Chen Yi stayed in Soviet area to lead the Guerrilla War ; in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Nie Rongzhen was the deputy commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the commander of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region , fighting in the Taihang Mountains, Chen Yi was the leader of the New Fourth Army, fighting in the southern ; during the War of Liberation, Nie Rongzhen was the commander of the North China Military Region, and Chen Yi was the commander of the Huaye Army.
It can be said that except for participating in the Seventh National Congress in Yan'an, the two have few opportunities to meet.
But the two old Sichuan coaches appreciate each other (Nie Rongzhen is Jiangjin people, now in Chongqing). Every time they meet, there are endless things to say.
In New China, Nie Marshal Nie is the founder of the defense science of New China, but what is little known is that he took over from Chen Yi; and Chen Yi also knows the importance of national defense technology. He often says: " I, the Foreign Minister , have a hard waist, and I have to rely on missile and atomic bomb , otherwise my waist will not be hard! "
No one thought at that time that this photo was the last time two respected old coaches took photos together. Four months later, President Chen was taken away by the disease!
