Editor's note:
The third Sunday in June every year is Father's Day . My father has been away from us for many years. Winter has passed and spring has come, and the flowers have bloomed and withered, but the grief for him has not changed at all. Every time during this holiday, I miss my father very much. I can't get rid of the long memories of my father, nor can I eliminate the sadness of losing my father. The longer time goes by, the heavier I miss him.
A few days ago, I saw some memories of my father’s past written by my father’s old subordinate Dai Yaohua. I sorted and edited them and sent them out today on Father’s Day. Reading my father's story, my father's ordinary and majestic figure emerged in front of my eyes. A communist and revolutionary soldier attached great importance to grassroots militia work. He did not forget his original intention and committed himself to the party, showing a lofty spiritual realm and excellent political character. As Dai Yaohua said, this simple work style has deeply affected them. Even now, when they recall it, they feel particularly respectable and miss this old leader!
Reading bits and pieces of my father’s past events made me understand better that I should stick to the heart of serving the country that I had when I joined the army, the heart of an innocent child that I had when I joined the party, and the heart of a public servant that I had when I became an official. These good traditions and good styles of our party will last forever and will always inspire future generations moving forward. Faith will never be lost and struggle will never stop!
The wind in June is so refreshing and warm, and this never-ending longing makes me unable to help but write this text to express my deep memory of my father.
——Yunlu
From 1981 to 1982, I served as a staff officer at the regional headquarters. During this period, I had the honor to follow Commander Yun to Banner County several times to inspect the militia work. Commander Yun's standard for grassroots work is to be rigorous and realistic. His pragmatic work style and approachable noble moral character deeply influence us in every unit he goes to.
Once, I followed Commander Yun to inspect the work of the militia in Mugou Township, Songshan District (then Chifeng County). After the township government listened to the report, the commander wanted to go to the militia company to have a look. We asked the commander After agreeing, if you are sure, go to a nearby militia company to have a look. The township called the brigade and asked the militia company commander to rush to the brigade headquarters and tell them that Commander Yun was going to inspect the work. The militia company commander was young and a little nervous when he saw the commander and his party. After briefly asking about some information, the commander asked to go to the weapons depot. When he heard that the commander wanted to see the weapons depot, the militia company commander became even more nervous. He quickly said that he did not have the key to the weapons depot and could not open the door. The commander told him directly to go get the key immediately and we would wait here. Seeing that the commander insisted on seeing the weapons depot, the militia company commander had no choice but to agree and left the brigade headquarters. After waiting for a long time, the company commander came back. He said that the key was lost and could not be found. As soon as the commander heard what he said, he felt that there must be something wrong with the weapons arsenal and that he had to check it carefully. The commander said directly to me, Staff Officer Dai, go to the supply and marketing cooperative immediately and buy a door lock that is the same as the one used in the weapons depot. Since the key to the current lock is lost, it is useless. Just break it and replace it with a new one. We will be responsible for the purchase price. Staff Officer Dai went to find tools to smash the lock. Seeing that the commander was angry, the militia company commander was really scared. He even cried when he was worried. He quickly said, don't break the lock. The key is not lost, but the warehouse is too messy. I don't want the leaders to go in to check... After saying this, he was very reluctant. He opened the warehouse door with the key. When we went in and took a look, the warehouse was really dirty and messy. There was a thick layer of dust on the gun cabinet , and some of the guns were rusty. It looked like the weapons had not been wiped or cleaned for a long time. Seeing this situation, the commander was very angry. Without any mercy at all, he criticized the township leaders and the militia company commander very seriously, and asked them to make rectifications within a time limit in accordance with the militia weapons depot management regulations. And told them that the division will come here at any time to check the implementation. The commander has always been very approachable throughout his life and never gets angry easily with his subordinates. That was the first time I saw the Commander really angry.
Yun Chenglie served as the commander of the Zhaowuda Allied Forces Division (now Chifeng City,
). When Commander Yun was thirteen or fourteen years old, he went to Yan'an to participate in the revolution and experienced the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War. . I personally participated in many battles and my body became sick from overwork.Especially during the period of the expansion of the Cultural Revolution, he suffered persecution and unjust injustice, which caused some diseases to become more and more serious. Severe asthma and heart disease have affected his daily life, but it has not affected his work at all. He often drags his sick body deep into the grassroots level to check and understand the construction status of the militia. It is common for him to work at the grassroots level for seven or eight consecutive days.Once I followed Commander Yun to Songshan District (Old Chifeng County) to inspect the work. I visited several towns and then arrived at Chutoulang Township. I listened to reports and watched the grassroots work all day long, and spent the evening in a simple township guest house. After resting, the conditions were very bad. Several of our entourage suggested that the commander go back to Chifeng to rest, which is not far away for dozens of kilometers. The commander disagreed and said that the conditions for sleeping on the heated kang here are pretty good, much better than when I was in Yan'an. Everyone should go to bed early and continue working tomorrow. The commander said, and everyone started to wash up and get ready to rest. At about eight o'clock in the evening, the driver suddenly came to my room and said that the commander wanted to see me for something and asked me to go to his room quickly. I hurried to the commander's room without asking anything. As soon as I entered the room, I found that the commander's face was not good and he looked very uncomfortable. Quickly ask the commander what's going on? The commander said that he was feeling a little uncomfortable and that his old habit might have relapsed and that he needed to take Angong Wan. He asked the driver and I to go back to Chifeng immediately to get him two Angong Wan. As soon as I heard about it, I immediately said, "Commander, why don't you go back too? It's okay to go to the hospital for a checkup." The commander said, I know my own problem and I will be fine after taking medicine. Coming home so late, your Aunt Wang (the commander’s wife) should be anxious again when she sees me like this. In addition, when you go back, don’t alarm the comrades in the agency. Just get me two pills from the local hospital or pharmaceutical factory. The commander said this, and I had no choice but to follow the commander's instructions. I told the other comrades accompanying him about the commander's situation and asked them to take good care of the commander. The driver and I drove directly back to Chifeng to get medicine for the commander. I thought about it on the way. At that time, Angong Wan was a hot-selling drug and was not available in most pharmacies. In addition, all pharmacies were closed at this time. Just go directly to the traditional Chinese medicine factory. The production workshop of the traditional Chinese medicine factory works in three shifts, and there must be factory leaders on duty. Things were exactly as I thought. When I arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, I quickly found the factory leader on duty and explained my intention. The factory leaders heard that Commander Yun was in a hurry to take the medicine, so they sent someone to the warehouse for safekeeping without saying a word. I wrote an IOU, took the medicine and left. I hurried back to the Chutoulang Guest House as soon as possible. The commander had not rested yet. He was very happy to see that I had got the medicine. He quickly took the medicine and rested. He said nothing all night, and started working normally again the next day.

In that year, I served as the deputy director of the Artillery Department of the Chifeng Garrison District. , one day I went to the 220 Hospital for business. I happened to meet Aunt Wang Sulan in the internal medicine inpatient ward. I asked her what she was doing in the hospital. Aunt Wang Sulan told me that the commander was hospitalized due to illness and is now in the emergency room. After hearing this, I felt very anxious and followed Aunt Wang directly to the emergency room. There was a solitary hospital bed in such a large emergency room. Commander Yun was lying on the bed with no other attendants around him. The commander was quite happy to see me and said, Xiao Dai, you are here. I was very puzzled at that time and asked Aunt Wang if there was no one to accompany her at the sanatorium. Aunt Wang didn't say anything, but the commander listened to my question and immediately said that the cadre rest house had too few people to take care of her. It's okay. I just need you, Aunt Wang, to be by my side. I couldn't bear it when he said this. When the commander was in office, there were a lot of people cheering for him. But when he retired and was sick and hospitalized, there was no one to take care of him. He left his wife to take care of him alone. I told the commander at that time that I still have some rights to mobilize troops. I will call the company under my jurisdiction now and ask the company to send a few soldiers to the hospital to take care of you and let my Aunt Wang rest. After the commander heard what I said, he immediately shook his head and said no, you can send troops to take care of me. What about the other veteran cadres? The impact is not good, you can’t do this.I said at that time, Commander, just listen to me. I will call to mobilize troops. After saying that, I went directly to the doctor's office and prepared to call the company. At this time, Aunt Wang followed me to the office. , told me not to make phone calls. If troops were sent to serve the commander, the commander would be angry. In order not to make the commander angry, I gave up my arrangement against my will. When I returned to the emergency room, the commander smiled when he saw me. That was the last time I saw him.
