Among the 57 founding generals, Fu Zhong's military achievements were not prominent and his popularity was not very high, but he was the oldest. Fu Zhong joined the Communist Party of China in the winter of 1921 and was the earliest founding general to join the party. Other earlier generals, Ulanfu and Yan Hongyan, joined the party in 1925. He was re-elected for two terms as secretary of the General Branch of the Communist Party of China in Europe. Others who held this position were veteran Communists such as Zhao Shiyan, Zhou Enlai, Liu Bojian, and Li Fuchun. This shows Fu Zhong's status within the party at that time. He has also served as a political commissar of the Red Army Division, deputy director of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army, director of the field political department of the Eighth Route Army, deputy director of the of the General Political Department of the general political department, and member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of general and was awarded the first-class August 1st Medal, the first-class Independence and Freedom Medal and the first-class Liberation Medal. In 1988, he won the first-class Red Star Merit and Honorary Title. After his death, the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army called him "the outstanding political work leader in our army."

1. Re-elected as secretary of the General Branch of Europe for two terms

Fu Zhong was born in Xuyong County, Sichuan Province in 1900. During the May Fourth Movement, Fu Zhong actively participated in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal student movement. In order to seek the truth of saving the country and the people, in 1920, Fu Zhong, Zhou Enlai, Guo Longzhen and others drifted across the sea, and went to France, the Soviet Union and other countries to work and study. The 10 years of his life in Europe have brought about major changes in Fu Zhong's life, growing from an ignorant young man to a firm stance, rich experience, and able to stand on his own.

Fu Zhong arrived in France in mid-December 1920 and worked in the Crusoe Steel Factory. The factory is the largest factory in France for iron smelting, casting and manufacturing locomotives, with more than 30,000 employees, and about one-third of the Chinese workers. Zhao Shiyan, Li Lisan, Nie Rongzhen and Deng Xiaoping have also worked in this factory one after another.

The hard conditions honed their will. In September 1921, Fu Zhong, Zhao Shiyan, Zhou Enlai, Cai Hesen and others led and launched a petition campaign to open the University of Lyon to poor work-study students.

◆Fu Zhong during the Great Revolution. The picture shows Fu Zhong, secretary of the Communist Party of China's branch in Europe, in Paris in 1925.

Unfortunately, the movement failed. Fu Zhong had no choice but to transfer to Briver City Middle School in central France to study. The students who are unwilling to bow to their destiny gradually understand that only by uniting and fighting together can we achieve victory in the revolution. In the winter of 1921, Zhang Shenfu and Zhao Shiyan formed the early organization of the Communist Party in France (the two participated in the early organization of the Communist Party in China), and their members were Zhou Enlai, Liu Qingyang and others. According to Zhao Shiyan's introduction, Fu Zhong joined the Communist Party of China and participated in the establishment of the Youth Communist Party of China in Europe. In 1922, the organization developed into the European branch of the Communist Party of China.

During the work-study period in France, Fu Zhong's leadership talent gradually emerged. He absorbed Chinese comrades at Briver Middle School and organized a party branch, organized and led part-time students through the branch, established a "Mobile Reading Club of Books and Newspapers", held a "reading club", promoted revolutionary ideas, united the non-party masses, and fought against the "nationalists" who attempted to disintegrate the revolutionary forces. Soon, Fu Zhong went to work in the Rubber Factory in Mondarni City, continued to carry out various activities and develop party organizations.

During this period, Fu Zhong was in charge of the leadership of the Party and often went to Paris to attend party meetings and report work, maintaining contact with Zhao Shiyan, Chen Yannian, Zhou Enlai and others. After these practical training, Fu Zhong has accumulated rich revolutionary experience. After 1925, Fu Zhong served as secretary of the Fifth and Sixth China Communist Party’s General Branches to Europe.

During his time in France, Fu Zhong joined the French trade union and became his official member. He often maintained contact with relevant departments of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of France, and sometimes attended meetings of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of France on colonial ethnic issues and Eastern issues.

After the May 30th tragedy that shocked China and the world, Fu Zhong led the General Branch of the Communist Party of China to organize a gathering of students working and studying in France and Chinese workers to hold a demonstration in front of the Chinese Embassy in France to support the people's struggle against imperialism and colonialism. Since then, French police have stepped up persecution of Chinese students and have continuously arrested and expelled Chinese students.

Fu Zhong, who was then the secretary of the Communist Party of China's European Union Committee, the secretary of the General Branch of the Communist Youth League's European Union Committee, and the secretary of the European Union Executive Committee, did not stop working because of the white terror. He contacted Chen Qiaonian, secretary of the Communist Party of China's branch of Russia, and organized and planned to withdraw 70 international students from France in three batches according to the instructions of the Party, returned to China through Berlin and Moscow, and organized the rescue of international students who were still imprisoned. French police stepped up restrictions and persecution against Fu Zhong and others on false charges. In early January 1926, Fu Zhong, Deng Xiaoping, Ren Zhuoxuan and others left Paris and went to Moscow, ending their five-year work-study life in France. After

arrived in the Soviet Union, Fu Zhong and Deng Xiaoping went to to study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow. He became classmates with Jiang Ching-kuo, , Zuo Quan, Zhang Wentian, Zhou Xiaozhou, Qu Wu and others. Fu Zhong also serves as deputy secretary of the Student General Branch Bureau.

Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, with a 4-year academic schedule, and the first semester is mainly about studying Russian. The specific courses are: history and general history of the Chinese revolutionary movement; history of social form development; philosophy (dialectical materialism and historical materialism); political economy (mainly " Capital "); economic geography; Leninism. Another important course is military training.

The basic unit of learning is group. At that time, there were about 300 students, with 11 groups ranging from 30 to 40 people in each group. Among the 11 student groups in the school, there is a group 7 called the "Theoretical Group", which is quite eye-catching. This group gathered some important students from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at that time. The Communist Party of China included Fu Zhong, Deng Xiaoping, Li Zhuoran, etc., and the Kuomintang included Gu Zhenggang, Gu Zhengding, Deng Wenyi, Wang Jingwei's nephew and secretary, and Qu Wu, the son-in-law of Yu Youren .

Although it is in the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the beliefs, views and class positions of the Communist Party and the Kuomintang are different after all, so debates often occur on some issues, and even a certain degree of struggle often occur.

During the study, Fu Zhong invited Stalin to school to give an answer to the Chinese revolutionary issue in response to major issues debated among students. He was also invited to attend the 15th Congress of the United Nations (Brazza) and participate in the enlarged meeting of the Executive Committee of the Communist International.

◆Fu Zhong during the Anti-Japanese War. After Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" coup , Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow was suspended. Under the instructions of the Party, Fu Zhong transferred to the Leningrad Tormachev Military and Political Academy to study. He was organized into the division-level officer team, but all actions were required by the same requirements as the soldiers of the Red Army . Considering the needs of domestic armed struggle, Fu Zhong never lacks classes, is meticulous, and always strictly demands himself.

After more than two years of regular training in the military academy, Fu Zhong graduated at the end of 1929 with outstanding results. In the spring of 1930, Fu Zhong met Zhou Silai on Moscow Street. Zhou Enlai was very happy to learn that he was about to return to China and said with emotion: "You have been overseas for ten years! You are in need of you to go back and participate in the struggle in China."

Indeed, in the past ten years, Fu Zhong traveled to France for five years and stayed in the Soviet Union for five years. In these ten years, Fu Zhong's perseverance has been honed, and the new ideas and new cultures learned by Fu Zhong have strengthened his concept of striving for communism for life.

2. Long March in Three treasures for Deng Xiaoping: horse, coat, beef jerky

Fu Zhong's life can be described as a battle between the south and the north. He had been engaged in political work for a long time, but he was baptized by the smoke of war in the early days of the revolution, and participated in important battles and the Long March such as the anti-"encirclement and suppression" in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area, the anti-siege of Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area, and the forced crossing of Jialing River.

After Fu Zhong returned to Shanghai, he was responsible for cadre work and military transportation work in the Central Military Commission.He ignored the white terror of the Kuomintang and sent many important cadres to the Soviet area and the Red Army, and did a lot of work to win foreign seafarers and dismantle the military and police stationed in Shanghai. In the summer of 1931, Fu Zhong went to work in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area in accordance with the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He served as Secretary-General of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area, Political Commissar of the 12th Division of the Red Army, Principal and Political Commissar of the Camp of the Red Fourth Front Army, Director of the Political Department of the Military and Political Cadre School of Peng (Pai) Yang (Yin) and Director of the Political Department of the Political Department of the 10th Division of the Red Army.

Fu Zhong has always struggled on the front line of the revolution. In the anti-"encirclement and suppression" operation in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet Area, he used his rifle to charge into battle with his soldiers. During the battle, he personally taught cadres and soldiers, and trained a group of backbone and grassroots cadres for the army. In the winter of 1932, Fu Zhong entered Sichuan with the Red Fourth Front Army and served as deputy director of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army, and participated in the work of establishing the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area. He also served as the Secretary of the Interim Provincial Party Committee of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Base Area, and was jointly responsible for preparing for the Party Congress with Zhang Qinqiu, and established the formal provincial party committee. He was later elected as a member of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and transferred to the Deputy Director of the Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army (Northwest Military Region).

In the fight against the enemy's "three-way siege team" and "six-way siege" against Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet Area, and the offensive battles such as Yinan, Yingqu, and Xuanda, Fu Zhong led the cadres of the political department to go deep into the front line troops and traveled to various battlefield hospitals. In order to inspire the rustic spirit, ensure the victory of the battle, expand the Soviet area, and develop the Red Army, he did a lot of ideological and organizational work, which was deeply loved by the commanders and fighters, and played a leading and promoting role in the army's development of a fierce, hard, fast, fierce and lively combat style. In the spring of 1935, in order to support the Central Red Army, the Fourth Red Army carried out the Battle of Guang (Yuan) Zhao (Hua) Battle, the Battle of Southern Shaanxi and the Battle of Jialing River. Before the war, Fu Zhong carried out in-depth political mobilization through political organs and political cadres at all levels, and personally visited the front line to inspect and guide the work.

In early May 1935, Fu Zhong joined the Red Fourth Front Army to participate in the Long March. In November, the Red Fourth Front Army conquered Lushan County and established the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Provincial Soviet Union. Fu Zhong was appointed as the Secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Committee and unified leadership of the six county committees established, including days, Lushan, Baoxing , Taiping, Xingjing , Ya'an and other 6 county committees. In late February 1936, the Red Fourth Front Army moved, crossed the Dangling Snow Mountain, and arrived at Daofu and Luhuo . Although Fu Zhong was seriously ill, he followed the Red 31st Army and the Red 5th Army to treat and recuperate. In July, the Red 2 and Red 6th Army joined forces with the Red 4th Front Army in Ganzi. After the meeting, the Red 2 and Red 6th Army formed the Red 2nd Front Army in accordance with the orders of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. Subsequently, the Red Second and Red Fourth Front Army decided to go north together and meet with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. After the Red 2 and Red 4th Front Army met, with the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Northwest Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, and Fu Zhong served as the Minister of Organization. After the troops walked out of the grassland to occupy more than 610 counties in Gannan, Fu Zhong also served as secretary of the Gansu Working Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In the journey to advance into northwest Sichuan, Fu Zhong actively carried out political work and participated in the local work of leading logistics support and mobilizing the masses. He organized troops to raise a large amount of grain, money, mules, horses and other military supplies to welcome the Central Red Army.

◆In 1936, Fu Zhong, Du Yide, Mo Wenhua and others were in Yan'an . After the Central Red Army crossed the Dadu River, Fu Zhong and Wang Weizhou, on behalf of the headquarters of the Red Fourth Front Army, went south to greet them with the Red 30th Red Army led by Li Xiannian. After the Central Red Army and the Fourth Front Army met in Maogong (now Xiaojin), Fu Zhong raised dozens of horses, some clothes, and all the food from a battalion of the Red Fourth Front Army to give to the Central Column . He vacated the house he lived in for Mao Zedong and gave Zhou Enlai a mule that could carry and walk well. Seeing that his old comrade-in-arms Deng Xiaoping's horse died, Fu Zhong helped him and solved the difficulties. For this matter, Deng Xiaoping said more than once: "After crossing the snow-capped mountains, Fu Zhong gave me three treasures, a horse, a fox fur coat, and a pack of jerky beef. These three things are really a big deal!"

In August 1935, the Central Red Army restored the number of the Red Front Army.

3. The speech at the Seventh National Congress won high praise from Mao Zedong

Hongyi. After the Fourth Front Army met, Zhang Guotao held his own troops and obeyed the anti-Japanese policy formulated by the Central Committee, causing the Central Committee to lead the First and Third Legions to go north alone. After Zhang Guotao parted ways with the Party Central Committee, he opened up a new "Central" of the Party in Zhuomudi, Lifan County, Sichuan Province on October 5. Fu Zhong kept a clear head on this and refused to hold a position in Zhang Guotao's self-reliant "Central". Zhang Guotao was so angry that he deprived Fu Zhong of his post in the Fourth Front Army. In November, Fu Zhong was appointed as the Secretary of the Sichuan-Kang Border Region Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and led the opening of new Soviet areas such as Tianquan, Lushan, and Baoxing.

In July 1936, the Red Second and Sixth Corps met with the Fourth Front Army, and the Northwest Bureau of the CPC Central Committee was established. Fu Zhong served as the Organization Minister. He actively carried out ideological and political work to maintain the unity and unity of the Party among the cadres, assisting Zhu De, Ren Bishi, Liu Bocheng, Xu Xiangqian and others to play an important role in defeating Zhang Guotao's separatist conspiracy, and finally promoted the successful meeting of the main Red Army of the Red One, Two and Four. After the three main forces of

met, with Zhou Enlai's direct inquiries, Fu Zhong, on behalf of the Northwest Bureau of the Central Committee, officially announced that Liao Chengzhi, Luo Shiwen, Zhu Guang and others who were wrongly detained by Zhang Guotao, would resume the party's organizational life and allocate their work. After the Red Army Headquarters arrived in northern Shaanxi, Mao Zedong wrote a letter to Lin Biao, President of the Red Army University, appointing Fu Zhong as the director of the Political Department of the Red Army University, and specially instructed: You can say anything to Director Fu.

◆In 1937, Fu Zhong (fourth from right) and Luo Ronghuan, Yang Shangkun and others.

In March 1937, Fu Zhong attended the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in Yan'an. At the meeting, he used a large number of facts to expose and criticize Zhang Guotao's serious mistakes in splitting the Party and the Red Army, and connected with history to liquidate Zhang Guotao's serious mistakes in promoting wrong cadre policies during his work in Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan and Shaanxi, Tong (Jiang) South (Jiang) Ba (Zhong) and other serious mistakes in implementing wrong cadre policies, pursuing counter-revolutionary policies, engaging in personal autocracy, implementing warlordism, abolishing the Party's work and political work. In June, when the faculty and staff of the Anti-Central University were exposing the serious mistakes of criticizing Zhang Guotao's warlordism, escapism and anti-party and anti-Central, Fu Zhong also made an important speech at the meeting.

From April 23 to June 11, 1945, the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Yan'an. Fu Zhong attended the meeting and made a long speech at the meeting entitled "Strengthening the Party's Unity and Opposing Hilltopism." In his speech, he reviewed the glorious history of the Red Fourth Front Army, pointed out that Zhang Guotao committed serious crimes of separating the Party and separating the Red Army, and tainted the glorious history of the Red Fourth Front Army. He also focused on the tendency and sentiment of strengthening unity and opposing hillism. He pointed out, "To solve the problem of mountain doctrine, we must correctly handle the relationship between mountain doctrine and the party, and individuals and the party. At any time, we cannot take the reliance on the mountain very seriously, but we should look down on the party. We cannot consider whether there is a support for the mountain at the moment, and forget to serve the people wholeheartedly. Only by correctly solving the relationship between individual doctrine and the party and relying on the people can we be infinitely powerful, as stable as Mount Tai, and everything is easy to do." Fu Zhong's speech was praised by Mao Zedong and the comrades attending the meeting. After the conference speech, Mao Zedong took the lead in applauding, and the audience was filled with warm applause. The next day, at the meeting of the presidium of the seven major of and the directors of various delegations, Mao Zedong said: "Yesterday Comrade Fu Zhong said a very good thing here, and I agree with the whole article." Since then, Fu Zhong's speech was quoted one after another by Mao Zedong.

4. After Fu Zhong's death in 1989, the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army published an article entitled "Outstanding Political Work Leader in Our Army - Mourning Comrade Fu Zhong" in " People's Daily ", and highly praised him.

In the long-term revolutionary war, Fu Zhong kept exploring the rules of military political work. He wrote and presided over the formulation of many articles and rules and regulations on political work.In 1934, the Red Fourth Front Army passed the "Resolution on Political and Party Affairs of the Red Fourth Front Army", "Interim Work Rules of the Regiment Political Department" and "Interim Work Rules of the Military Advisors' Political Department" drafted by Fu Zhong, which played an important role in improving the political quality of the troops and strengthening the political construction of the organs. The 16-character lyrics of "Military Training" written by Fu Zhong, "wisdom, courage, determination, difficulty and innovation, unity and struggle, and endless struggle" were compiled and sung in the army, playing a role in inspiring fighting spirit, strengthening military power and carrying forward the fine traditional style.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Zhong followed the Eighth Route Army headquarters to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. While he followed the troops to fight, he devoted himself to intense work, while using vivid and smooth words to write the front line communication "How the Eighth Route Army Fights", which truly describes the marching and combat situation of the Eighth Route Army. In January 1938, Fu Zhong took over as deputy director of the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, and later served as director of the Field Political Department of the Eighth Route Army. Under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Military Commission, the General Political Department, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai and the Northern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, he moved to the Taihang Mountains for a long time.

Fu Zhong is good at contacting the masses and approachable. He often conducts in-depth investigations and research in the army, inspects and guides work, holds various meetings regularly or irregularly, deploys and inspects work, and summarizes and exchanges political work experience. He also jointly published some important articles and telegrams with the leaders of the Eighth Route Army, and published personal signed articles in newspapers to guide his work. In 1940, Fu Zhong proposed the "Political Military Reorganization Plan" and participated in the formulation and issuance of the "Political Military Reorganization Training Order" co-signed with Zhu De, Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan. In accordance with the requirements of the training order, all troops generally consolidated and strengthened the leadership of the Party, the troops developed greatly, and the military and political quality of commanders and fighters was significantly improved. The entire political work played an important role in ensuring the victory of the war and anti-stubborn struggle against Japan during this period.

◆ During the Anti-Japanese War period, Fu Zhong (first from right) took a photo with Deng Xiaoping, Huang Kecheng and others.

During the War of Liberation, Liu Shaoqi, Vice Chairman of the Central Committee, also served as the director of the General Political Department, and Fu Zhong served as the deputy director. Fu Zhong presided over the formulation of the "Regulations (Draft) of the Party Committee of the People's Liberation Army of China". He Long, Luo Ruiqing and Luo Ronghuan highly praised the draft regulations. It pointed out: "It has played a guiding and guaranteeing role in strengthening party building, unifying leadership thinking, and solving major problems in the continuous combat of the corps." During the period of presiding over the daily work of the General Political Department, Fu Zhong also participated in the senior cadres meeting of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region and the National Land Conference, and completed many tasks assigned by the Central Working Committee and the Central Military Commission.

The reason why Fu Zhong is called an outstanding political worker is also reflected in his rich experience in his work against the enemy. In early 1948, he actively participated in the Central Working Committee's research and application of the strategy of "begging without fighting, attacking the heart first" to make it fully utilized in the work of dismantling the enemy's army. He collected and summarized the complex situation of the rapid changes within the Chiang army after the Liberation War entered the counterattack and the materials that our army had to adopt different policies in response to different situations, assisted Liu Shaoqi and Zhu De in a thorough analysis of the situation and put forward specific reports and speeches on the enemy's policies at the military-level political and military work conference, and solved the guiding ideology and work deployment of various troops in carrying out political offensives. At the same time, clear requirements have been put forward on the issue of the need for the troops to strengthen organizational discipline and policy education. After Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and others arrived at Xibaipo, they joined the Central Working Committee and the Post-Committee, the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee designated Fu Zhong to attend the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and attended the report meeting of the Operations Bureau of the Headquarters. During the three major battles of , he worked with Yang Shangkun, Secretary-General of the Military Commission, to complete many important tasks assigned by the Party Central Committee, and attended the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Party, reporting on the issues of military political work and strengthening the ideological education of the troops.

Fu Zhong followed the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission to leave Xibaipo in the spring of 1949 and settle in Pei Ping .On the one hand, he strengthened the expansion and construction of the General Political Department, and on the other hand, he led the troops to carry forward the fine tradition of hard work, and effectively abide by the three major disciplines, the eight rules of attention to and the rules of the city, as well as publicize the glorious achievements of the People's Liberation Army to domestic and foreign countries. At the same time, a plan was formulated for unifying the leadership system and organizational system for the work of the entire army's family. On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fu Zhong, as one of the representatives of the troops, attended the first plenary session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and completed many tasks assigned by the central government to prepare for the founding ceremony of .

In the early days of the founding of New China, Fu Zhong served as deputy director and propaganda minister of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, and was committed to the theoretical education, publicity work of the entire army, and the development of youth culture, sports, and colleges and universities. It can be said that Fu Zhong has achieved remarkable achievements in uniting a large number of intellectuals and professional talents with pioneering significance and laying the foundation.

◆On the National Day in 1961, General Fu Zhong (first from left) and Zhong Qiguang and others were in Tiananmen .

In the spring of 1954, Fu Zhong was invited by Liu Bocheng, director of the Nanjing Military Academy, and commissioned by Luo Ronghuan, director of the General Political Department, to teach the basic issues of military political work in the hospital in the system. During his lecture, he made a comprehensive summary of the fine traditions of the People's Liberation Army's political work since the Jinggangshan period and the political work experience of the War of Resistance and Liberation, and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and systematically explained Mao Zedong's theory and basic issues on the People's Army and the People's War, which was highly praised by Liu Bocheng and the attendees.

The lecture was later named "Basic Issues in Political Work", and was officially published after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. This book plays an important guiding role in inheriting and carrying forward the fine traditions of the political work of the people's army.

In the early 1960s, the article "The Great Victory of Mao Zedong's Military Dialectics" written by Fu Zhong caused a strong response at home and abroad. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, he wrote important articles such as "Mao Zedong's Military Science will always be a treasure of the Chinese people" and "Understanding and Developing Comrade Mao Zedong's Theory of Party Building" and made profound discussions on issues such as focusing on building the Party ideologically, maintaining democratic centralism, and creatively carrying out the construction of the three major styles of the Party.

◆Fu Zhong (right) and Deng Xiaoping. After Fu Zhong retired from his post as a member of the Standing Committee of the Advisory Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he wrote to the Party Central Committee to ensure that "after retreating, we must continue to learn the Party's line, principles, and policies, and maintain consistency with the Party Central Committee in terms of ideology and politics, and be a propagandist of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought for life." During his serious illness, he still worked hard to write military history memoirs such as "The Call of the Party Central Committee", "The Glorious Mission of the Northwest Bureau", "The Beginning Team of the Anti-Japanese War Behind Enemy", and "The First Going to the Anti-Japanese War Field", and sorted out the manuscripts of political work experience in the revolutionary war years...

5. In his later years, he cared about the great cause of reunification of the motherland

5 Fu Zhong still remembered the great cause of reunification of the motherland. His old classmates in Taiwan include those from Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow and those from working-study in France. Most of them are in their eighties and nineties. The youngest and oldest with his classmates is Chiang Ching-kuo. They first went to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, and then to the Tomachev Military and Political Academy of Leningrad, where they were classmates for five years. Faced with the new situation of peaceful reunification of the motherland, Fu Zhong missed his old classmates in Taiwan very much and hoped that they would make contributions to this. On the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1983, Fu Zhong sent a speech on "Such a Long Sauce - To the Old Olds in Taiwan" to express his longing and expectation for old classmates and old acquaintances. His words are:

Happy Mid-Autumn , celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, and misses his family on the Mid-Autumn moonlit night. Reunion and sleep.

I like to be with the same family, and I hope to be with the same family, and don’t let my heart go back to waste. Great cause is ahead.The lyrics

aroused strong resonance at home and abroad after the publication of the People's Daily. The famous composer Fu Gengchen composed the song, and singer Yu Junjian sang at the second "Voice of the Straits" concert, winning the Beijing 35th Anniversary National Day Literature and Art Award, and later became a program often played by radio stations. Whenever his old classmate Xu Junhu (member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and chairman of the Provincial Democratic League) came to visit him and mentioned this matter, he always said humorously: "I don't know if old classmates and old friends in Taiwan can listen!"

◆In 1964, General Fu Zhong worked in his apartment in Beijing.

At Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow, Xu Junhu was the propaganda minister of the special party department of the Kuomintang brigade Moscow. Chiang Ching-kuo trusted him, and later the two had a deep personal relationship. Whenever Xu Junhu came to Beijing, he always visited Fu Zhong. Sometimes he invited Chiang Ching-kuo's cousin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and former legislator of the Kuomintang government, to talk with Fu Zhong together. On the evening of January 3, 1988, the three of them had the most talks, because not long ago, the Taiwanese authorities announced that compatriots in Taiwan could visit their relatives in the mainland. They are all happy for such progress that follows public opinion.

Fu Zhong said: "The situation is very good now. Taiwan's people can't stop them from visiting relatives."

Xu Junhu said: "As soon as the door opens, it will only open wider and wider, and it cannot be closed."

They seemed to see a very gratifying future, talking about the other students from Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan, who are university professors, who serve in the presidential palace; students in the same theory class, who dies, who are still alive... When talking about Chiang Ching-kuo's condition, Fu Zhong said without thinking: "You can come to the mainland for treatment. There are many treatment methods, including traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the results are very good." But not long after, Chiang Ching-kuo passed away in Taiwan, which also left Fu Zhong deep regret. A year and a half later, on July 28, 1989, Comrade Bo Zhong passed away. General Wei, a poet and calligrapher who had been fighting and working with him, used moving poems to record the life and vigorous feelings of Fu Zhong Guangrong's battle:

"I left Sichuan when I was young and traveled to Europe and the country far away. I returned to Shanghai from Jiangsu and translated the Soviet army's regulations and offered a three-foot sword to the Red Army. I was not afraid of danger and obstacles, and was ordered to enter Hubei, Henan and Anhui, manage politics and education, and go west to Sichuan and Shaanxi. After the Long March, I fought against the enemy and fought against the enemy Taihang , and initially held the civil movement. At the 'Seventh National Congress' meeting, in order to unite, I fought against the mountain and praised it."
