Introduction: Marshal Liu Bocheng made great achievements in the revolutionary cause of our party and the construction and development after the founding of New China. He is a good marshal supported and respected by the country and the people. October 7, 1986 was the day when Marshal Liu Bocheng passed away. On this painful day, both the people and the soldiers in the military camp were heartbroken. Comrade Deng Xiaoping, then chairman of the Central Military Commission, personally served as the host of Marshal Liu Bocheng's funeral and fulfilled Marshal Liu Bocheng's last wish before his death.
Revolutionary years: Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng
Mr. Deng and Marshal Liu Bocheng have a deep revolutionary friendship. After the founding of New China, the relationship between the two has always been very harmonious and can be regarded as confidants of the revolutionary cause. Deng Gong and Liu Bocheng are both fellow villagers in Sichuan and Chongqing. They have both gone abroad to learn their knowledge and the in-depth study of Marxism. The two have the same beliefs as they share the same beliefs, and the process of getting along is very harmonious.
At that time, Liu Bocheng was serving as the commander of the 129th Division, and Gong Deng was appointed as the political commissar of the 129th Division. During the cooperation, Liu Bocheng and Gong Deng cooperated very well. Even in the face of the Kuomintang army whose military equipment was several times stronger than ours, the 129th Division would be strong when it met, and fought the trusted troops of Chiang Kai-shek to flee.
Liu Bocheng's wish
As early as one day in 1976, Liu Bocheng's health had problems. He was worried that his life span was almost gone, and Hua Guofeng happened to visit Liu Bocheng. While the two talked, Liu Bocheng expressed a wish to Hua Guofeng, hoping that Hua Guofeng could convey it to Deng Xiaoping on his behalf. This wish was that Marshal Liu Bocheng hoped that Deng Xiaoping would be the presidency of the funeral after his death, which was enough to show the deep revolutionary friendship between Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping.
Liu Bocheng was not as physically as optimistic at that time, so Hua Guofeng hurriedly informed Deng Xiaoping of the whole matter. Deng Xiaoping was facing many things at this time. Deng Xiaoping fell into silence about Liu Bocheng's wish. He neither agreed with this matter nor denied it. Because Liu Bocheng's health turned into danger, this advice and wish were put aside for ten years until 1986 when Liu Bocheng was suffering from serious illness.
Completed the instructions of the revolutionary comrades
After working hard by the team of outstanding domestic physicians, they still failed to save Marshal Liu Bocheng's life. On October 7, 1986, Marshal Liu Bocheng died of illness in Beijing at the age of 94. Marshal Liu Bocheng made immortal contributions to our party and was one of the founders of the great People's Liberation Army. His death was a heavy loss to the party and the country. Upon learning of the death of his old comrade-in-arms, Mr. Deng immediately rushed to the funeral site to serve as the presidency and sent his revolutionary confidant Marshal Liu Bocheng for the last journey.
At the funeral, Deng Gong, who was the host, could not hide his reluctance and melancholy. The two met and devoted most of their time to the revolutionary cause, hoping that the new China would one day prosper and become strong. At this time, Mr. Deng was carrying out reform and opening up policies nationwide, and the domestic economic situation was booming. Until eleven years later, on February 19, 1997, the great reform and opening up advocate Comrade Deng Xiaoping died in Beijing due to illness at the age of 93.
Conclusion: Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng are both great heroes of the motherland. Their lives are full of glory and great achievements. The history of New China will always remember the great reputation of Deng Xiaoping and Liu Bocheng. At the end of the article, I would like to express my highest respect to all the revolutionary ancestors and thank my ancestors for their dedication to the cause of the motherland. This prosperous era has come as you wish.
