Every screw has its own mission. Similarly, every soldier in the army also has his own mission. The inconspicuous guards in the film and television dramas seem to have mediocre qualifications, but they play no less than those of frontline soldiers. In the revolutionary era, there were even more famous guards. For example, Wei Guoqing, who served as the guard of Deng Xiaoping in the past, was not only the rank of general, but also a deputy state-level cadre.
So, what kind of ability is Wei Guoqing, and what kind of story does he and Deng Gong have?
Baise Uprising . First met Deng Gong
1913, Wei Guoqing was born in a poor peasant family in Donglan County, Guangxi Province. It was the Republic of China period, but the people in most areas did not live a good life. Moreover, due to the warlord melee, social chaos caused, which made the people who were not wealthy even worse. Wei Guoqing's father was even more cruel to the local government, which also allowed Wei Guoqing to see the true face of the authorities.
At that time, our party was forming a revolutionary team in the southern region, and his political propaganda work was done very well. Wei Guoqing accepted communist thought when he was a teenager and then joined the revolutionary team. At that time, he was only in his teenage years, but after participating in the revolution, he seemed very mature. Finally, he joined the Communist Youth League in 1929.
The second month after joining the Communist Youth League, Comrade Deng Xiaoping organized the Baise Uprising. Wei Guoqing was fortunate to participate in the revolution and met Deng Xiaoping for the first time. He was also left by Deng Xiaoping by his side because of his outstanding performance. Later, became Deng Xiaoping's personal bodyguard. You should know that Wei Guoqing was only sixteen years old at the time.
went to the front line and kept honing
1931, because of his excellent performance, Wei Guoqing changed from a member of the Communist Youth League to a member of the Communist Party of China. He then worked in the Red Army team. Moreover, he was smart and learned things very quickly. Deng Xiaoping also took a fancy to his talents. Wei Guoqing was also organized to study in the Red Army School. Although he only had a short study time of four months, it also affected Wei Guoqing's life.
Before joining the Red Army, Wei Guoqing did not receive a systematic education. Because of his family, he had to work hard for his livelihood since he was a child and had no chance to study. During the years in the Red Army, Wei Guoqing not only learned the knowledge in the textbooks, but also learned how to lead troops to fight. The accumulation of this knowledge is a lifetime wealth for Wei Guoqing.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wei Guoqing volunteered to rush to Taihang Mountains and to organize a revolutionary team. After the southern Anhui Incident, he received an order from his superiors to rush to Huaibei to lead the New Fourth Army in combat. At the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan in 1945, Wei Guoqing and Zhang Aiping regained lost land in Xuzhou , making a significant contribution to our army.
Founding General, Don’t Forget Hometown
From a teenage little Red Army soldier to a general who can lead troops to win battles, it took Wei Guoqing more than ten years. This was the most important stage of his life and the most dangerous moment of the Chinese nation. In the revolutionary era, Wei Guoqing’s achievements were remembered in his heart. After the founding of New China in 1949, Wei Guoqing was awarded the rank of general at the rank award ceremony. This was the commendation of the country and the people, and it was also the highest honor of a soldier.
Then, Wei Guoqing applied to the central government to transfer back to his hometown Guangxi to work. He wanted to lead the people of his hometown to prosperity and strength, and finally got approval. Wei Guoqing worked in the Guangxi government for more than 20 years. Although he was transferred to the central government as vice chairman of the CPPCC during this period, not long after, Wei Guoqing took the initiative to return to Guangxi Provincial Government . Perhaps in his heart, the mountains of Guangxi are the real destination.
1989, Wei Guoqing spent his life at the age of 76. During his lifetime, he made great contributions to Guangxi Province and was deeply loved by the local people. His children also shine in different fields and continue to contribute to the country. This may be the inheritance spirit of the older generation.
