Introduction
Zuo Quan's daughter Zuo Taibei performed very well when she was in school. After graduating from high school in 1960, she successfully obtained the recommended quota for Harbin Military Industry . I thought something was wrong with the final decision - Zuo Taibei was defeated.
, and Zuo Taibei never expected that the reason why she was defeated was that her political review was unqualified. So where was unqualified?
At that time, the director of Harbin Military Industry was Chen Geng, who had a deep friendship with Zuo Taibei's father Zuo Quan. He learned that Zuo Taibei was defeated by Harbin Jungong because of his failure to pass the political review and wanted to ask for his own help. What would Chen Geng, the president of Harbin Jungong?
The daughter raised by the Party and the country
Zuo Taibei was personally chosen by Peng Dehuai. When she was born, Zuo Quan was very happy and asked Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai to name his daughter. Peng Dehuai thought that Liu Bocheng's son was named Taihang, so he took Zuo Quan's daughter Taibei.
, and the fate between Zuo Taibei and Peng Dehuai has just begun.
Zuo Taibei's father Zuo Quan died heroically when she was less than two years old. My mother Liu Zhilan was busy with revolutionary work and had almost no time to go to the nursery to pick up Xiao Taibei home, so Peng Dehuai and his wife Pu Anxiu would pick her up to their home every weekend.
Peng Dehuai loves Xiao Taibei very much. Even though Zuo Taibei was a headache when he was a child, Peng Dehuai never wanted to scold Xiao Taibei loudly.
Once, when Xiao Taibei was shopping, she insisted on buying a villain's book. Peng Dehuai saw that the content was not suitable for children and said he would not buy it. Xiao Taibei immediately lay on the ground and rolled around, crying and insisting on buying it. Peng Dehuai had no choice but to buy the book as she wished.
Another time, Peng Dehuai brought back a few raincoats from abroad to give them to others, and finally took the remaining two home. Peng Dehuai immediately asked Zuo Taibei to pick it first. After Zuo Taibei finished picking it, he gave the rest to his niece Peng Gang.
Peng Gang felt that the raincoat was a little unhappy. Peng Dehuai educated her niece at that time, teaching her to be humble, and also told her niece that her father had sacrificed and had to give in to Taibei in everything.
Zuo Taibei has lived in the school from elementary school to university. Only when he was in middle school at Beijing Normal University Girls' Affiliated High School, he lived in Peng Dehuai's home for a period of time.
Peng Dehuai was very happy that Zuo Taibei lived in his home and took good care of Zuo Taibei very caringly. He and Zuo Taibei's father are close friends and a partner who cooperates with each other on the battlefield. After Zuo Quan died, he poured this feeling on Zuo Taibei.
Recalling that time, Zuo Taibei's eyes were filled with nostalgia and happiness. She said that she felt the warmth of home from Peng Dehuai and his wife, and they were like parents to her. Zuo Taibei has a monthly fee of 20 yuan for martyrs, and Peng Dehuai will save it for her. He will save it until Zuo Taibei grows up and then hand it over to Zuo Taibei.
Peng Dehuai treated Zuo Taibei as if he was treating his biological daughter. The outside world speculated that Zuo Taibei was actually his adopted daughter. After hearing this, Zuo Taibei did not comment and explained with a smile:
"In fact, strictly speaking, it is not a adopted daughter. I was raised by the Party and the country."
952 Children's Day, Chairman Mao met several primary school representatives on Zhongnanhai . Chairman Mao chatted with the children very cordially. During the conversation, Chairman Mao, who was smiling, was a little sad for some reason, and his eyebrows were covered with sadness. It turned out that when Chairman Mao was chatting with the children, Zuo Quan's daughter Zuo Taibei was also there. Looking at the innocent and lively Zuo Taibei, thinking that she was not loved by her father since childhood, Chairman Mao was full of pity for Zuo Taibei, and he specially pulled Zuo Taibei to take a photo in Zhongnanhai as a souvenir.
958 National Day, Zuo Taibei met Premier Zhou Enlai who also came to watch the fireworks while watching the fireworks at the Tiananmen Gate Tower. Premier Zhou looked at Zuo Taibei, and Zuo Quan's figure appeared in his mind involuntarily, saying with emotion:
"Are you the daughter of General Zuo Quan Beibei? You look quite like your father, you must learn from your father."
Zuo Taibei nodded after hearing this, saying that she would definitely do it.
Zuo Taibei was really naughty when he was a child, but his academic performance was excellent and he was also a reassuring girl.
After Zuo Taibei successfully graduated from the Girls' High School of Beijing Normal University in 1960, he was admitted to Harbin Military Engineering.
The full name of Harbin Military Industry is actually Chinese People's Liberation Army Military Engineering College , but the school is located in Harbin, referred to as Harbin Military Industry for short.
The purpose of the country's preparation for the construction of Harbin Military Industry is to cultivate national defense science and technology talents for the country. Therefore, during the construction of Harbin Military Industry, Chen Yi and proposed at a meeting that the children of leaders should take the lead in applying for Harbin Military Industry, so as to drive young students in the whole society to publicize the great significance of building a modern national defense. Chen Yi's proposal was also unanimously agreed by the party, government and military leaders who attended the meeting.
953, Harbin Military Industry officially recruited the first phase of the students. After that, there were only a few students applying for Harbin Military Engineering in each class. In 1960, Zuo Taibei was successfully admitted to Harbin Military Industry. is just Zuo Taibei never expected that he had already obtained the recommended quota, but was defeated because he failed the political review. So Zuo Taibei went to visit Chen Geng, the director of Harbin Military Industry, to find out what was going on.
Chen Geng was very excited to learn that the person who came to visit him was Zuo Quan's daughter Zuo Taibei. He was seriously ill and bedridden, and he insisted on chatting with Zuo Taibei for a long time.
Chen Geng was very puzzled when he learned that Zuo Taibei was defeated because of his failure in political review. Logically speaking, she is Zuo Quan's daughter, so there shouldn't be any failure in political review.
During the conversation, Chen Geng learned that Zuo Taibei also wrote her second uncle on when filling in social relations. It turned out that Zuo Taibei's second uncle had gone to the path of counter-revolution, but Zuo Taibei did not understand the affairs of his elders, so naturally he didn't know about this.
Looking at the nervous Zuo Taibei, Chen Geng immediately gave her a reassurance, saying that Zuo Taibei is the daughter of the revolutionary martyr Zuo Quan, and Harbin Military Industry will not want her.
"Two poles" are hard-working, Zuo Quan, the father of Zuo Taibei, is called by Chairman Mao, a general who is hard-working, both guns and pens.
Zuo Quan and Chen Geng are both students of the first phase of Whampoa Military Academy, and their relationship is very good. Under Chen Geng's recommendation, Zuo Quan met Zhou Enlai, director of the Political Department.
Although Zhou Enlai taught at the Whampoa Military Academy, he was very opposed to the warlord-style idea of "soldiers must obey absolutely", and instead advocated the idea of "knowing to think and not blindly obey". This was a wash of revolutionary thought for Zuo Quan and had a profound impact.
925, Zuo Quan officially joined the Communist Party of China and became a party member who devoted himself to the revolution and sought liberation for the people.
Zuo Quan was very interested in military theory knowledge and studied hard during his school days, which laid a good foundation for him to successfully enroll in the "special class" of Fulongzhi Military Academy.
Fulongzhi Military Academy (also known as the Soviet Army University) is known as the " Red Army Brain".
925, Fulongzhi Military Academy gave four vocational places to the Kuomintang, with the purpose of helping China cultivate high-quality military cadres. However, the college has high requirements for students in Russian, so Zuo Quan was not selected. Later, according to the organization's arrangement, he went to , Moscow Sun Yat-sen University, to learn Russian. After the Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927, in order to support the armed struggle of the Communist Party of China, Fulongzhi Military Academy specially set up a "special class" with the purpose of cultivating senior military command cadres of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and Zuo Quan successfully became one of them.
During the more than four years of studying in Suzhou, Zuo Quan read "Selected Works of Fu Longzhi" and "The Battle Characteristics of Modern Army" and mastered a lot of military theoretical knowledge. He also carefully screened appropriate textbooks for our army. After returning to China, Zuo Quan fully played the role of an excellent military commander on the battlefield, helping our army win many battles.
The biggest highlight of Zuo Quan's military career is planning and commanding the famous " Hundred Regiments Battle ".
939, in order to break the Japanese army's ambition to completely destroy the anti-Japanese base in North China, Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan led more than 100 regiments of our army to fight back. At 10:00 on August 20, the Hundred Regiments Battle is about to break out. Under the full attack of our army's 5,000-mile front, the enemy's stations, transportation strongholds, communication lines, etc., were all destroyed or cut off.
This battle effectively destroyed the enemy's " cage policy " with "mainly railways, highways as chains, and bunkers as locks", causing immeasurable losses to the enemy.
Zuo Quan was busy day and night in this Hundred Regiments Battle, and there was almost no time to rest. Once, Zuo Quan fell asleep unknowingly while looking at the map and accidentally lit the map. After being awakened, he hurriedly put out the fire, washed the cold water face and continued to work again.
In the spring of 1942, the Japanese army carried out a major raid on North China Plain . This major Japanese raid not only wanted to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but also wanted to sneak attack the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
On May 22, 1942, surrounded by the enemy's heavy troops, Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan decided to break through the siege of all the organs and cadres of the headquarters. In order to cover up the breakout, Zuo Quan took the initiative to lead his troops to block the enemy.
He issued a combat order to the troops on the position: " Taihang Mountain will never waver and will swear to protect the security of the headquarters to the death."
4 On the evening of the 224th, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army broke through the three weak blockade lines of the enemy's blockade at night and camped and rested at Cross Ridge at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei. html On the 225th, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Cross Ridge was surrounded by more than 10,000 enemy troops. Some enemy troops attacked nearby and some enemy planes bombarded in the distance. The battle was very fierce. Zuo Quan ordered the combat section chief Wang Zhengzhu and the security company commander Tang Wancheng to do everything possible to escort Peng Dehuai to the safe area, while he led the troops to continue to break through.
When Zuo Quan led the last group of comrades to break through the last line of defense, the enemy's artillery fire became more intense. Zuo Quan was not afraid of danger, and calmly directed his comrades to lie down and sprint in the sound of explosions.
Just as they were about to break through the last line of defense of the enemy, the enemy suddenly increased their firepower to attack Cross Ridge. Zuo Quan kept shouting "Lying down", but he didn't care about himself. He was hit in the head by a shell and died heroically.
In a small mountain village about 15 kilometers away from Cross Ridge, Peng Dehuai anxiously waited for Zuo Quan to come and meet him. But I didn't expect that what I was waiting for was the news of Zuo Quan's death and the revolver . For a moment, the entire army was extremely sad.
Comrade Mao Zedong learned the news three days after Zuo Quan's death. He was very sad and immediately sent a telegram to Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, asking them to pass it to Peng Dehuai to express his deep condolences.
When Zuo Quan died, his most beloved daughter Zuo Taibei would be two years old in two days.
The fatherly love in the family books
During the war, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was often transferred, and the family members were inconvenient and very unsafe. So Liu Zhilan took Xiao Taibei, who was less than a hundred days old, on the way to Yan'an.
Zuo Quan was concerned with his wife and daughter who were far away in Yan'an. After learning that they had arrived safely, he wrote the first letter to his wife. Until his death in May 1942, Zuo Quan wrote twelve letters to his wife continuously. Unfortunately, one of them was lost.
eleven letters were sent to his daughter Zuo Taibei until 1982, and Zuo Taibei was 42 years old that year. From these eleven letters, Zuo Taibei read about his father's deep and full love for him.
Zuo Quan always cares whether Xiao Taibei has grown up, whether she is sick, whether her personality is more lively, whether she will call her parents, whether the little cotton jacket he sent to her can be worn, and whether her hands are frozen. He also asked his wife to tell Xiao Taibei that the reason why her father was not by her was to fight against the enemy to defend her country.
On May 22, 1942, the war was in a stalemate. Zuo Quan asked his wife not to take care of him in the letter. asked his wife to focus on herself in everything, and also asked his wife to fully handle the problem of Taibei. Taibei should not affect her future work and study .
Zuo Quan appealed to his love and longing for his wife and daughter to the tip of his pen, and expressed his concern, longing and love for his daughter Taibei everywhere between the lines.
For Zuo Taibei, she didn't remember what her father looked like or what kind of person she was. It was not until that I learned about my father little by little from my elders when I grew up.
The eleven letters sent by her mother made the 42-year-old Zuo Taibei face her father's love. Although it was a little late, her father's love warmed her the rest of her life.
Conclusion
Zuo Taibei didn’t have a deep impression of his father Zuo Quan when he was a child. However, as time went on, Zuo Taibei learned from the elders and from the letters written by his father one by one that Zuo Quan was a hero who was devoted to the country and was not afraid of sacrifice, and at the same time, he was also a father who loved his daughter deeply.
Zuo Taibei has never felt guilty about the identity of the children of revolutionary martyrs. Not only did he have excellent academic performance when he was in school, but he also worked diligently after work. Since she successfully graduated from Harbin Military Industry, she has been devoted to the diligent work of the military industry department and has participated in the investigation, inspection and project establishment of many national defense construction projects.
After Zuo Taibei retired, he was also committed to collecting the deeds of his father Zuo Quan and compiling them into a book. She hopes that her father Zuo Quan's heroic deeds and patriotic spirit of devoted himself to the country and the revolution can inspire generations of aspiring young people.
