Xu Haidong, formerly known as Yuan Qing (June 1900, June1July-June1March 25th, 970), was born in Xu Jiayao, Hubei Province. He is one of the main leaders of Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army and China People's Liberation Army, a famous strategist and general of China People's Liberation Army.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, he served as the brigade commander of the 344th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), he served as a member of the People's Revolutionary Military Commission. 1955 was awarded the rank of general and won the first-class August 1st Medal, the first-class Medal of Independence and Freedom and the first-class Medal of Liberation. Edgar snow thinks that he is a person with the strongest positive feeling, regardless of his posture, appearance, speech or background-apart from He Long, he is a general of the Red Army and the only pure proletariat among them, which gives him the impression that Xu Haidong is a very proud and sincere person. Mao Zedong praised him as "a great contribution to the China revolution and a banner of the working class".

Xu Haidong was born in poverty in his early years and worked as a kiln worker 1 1 year. This is also because his family (father and five brothers, excluding Xu Haidong) have been kiln workers for generations, and there is almost nothing to rely on. But because he is his father's sixth child, the youngest and the cleverest, they both chipped in to send him to school.

? In the fourth year of school, when Xu Haidong was 1 1, he began to develop the idea of justice. He and other poor children were cornered by a group of rich children. They had to throw bricks and stones at random, but the bricks and stones thrown by Xu Haidong hit the head of a landlord named Huang. His father came as soon as he knew, saying that he had forgotten his background, so he kicked Xu Haidong and even helped the teacher. Xu Haidong also left school because of this incident and never went back.

? 2/kloc-When he was 0/year old, he left home because of family chores. He went to Hankou and from Hankou to Jiangxi, where he worked as a kiln worker for several years and accumulated a little money. When he wanted to go back to his hometown, he was unfortunately infected with cholera and spent all his savings. He went home empty-handed because he was speechless and joined the army, that is, the National Revolutionary Army.

During the Northern Expedition, many * * * producing party member promoted * * * productism in Xu Haidong's army, and Xu Haidong became interested in * * * productism. So he came to Guangdong with a junior officer and joined Zhang Fakui's army. 1927, Xu Haidong returned to his hometown to carry out the revolutionary activities of the production party branch in China.

? 1April, 927, because of the coup, the * * * production party became an underground organization, but Xu Haidong was still openly active. He organized the workers and peasants in the kiln factory and became the original Hubei workers, peasants and soldiers. Although there were only 17 people at the beginning and only one eight-particle pistol, the 60,000 people behind the Red Army developed from this core organization.

? Later, he participated in events such as the jute uprising and encirclement and suppression. He won many victories.

1June, 938, he commanded Machidian to fight, annihilated a wing of the 25th Japanese Division, and killed nearly 1,000 Japanese troops. And repel reinforcements. 1August, 938, fell ill on the battlefield in North China, and then returned to Yan 'an to recuperate. After that, he became sick, but he didn't stop.

? During this period, he wrote several important memoirs, was awarded the rank of general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and edited the History of the Red 25 Army, suggesting to the editorial board that he must write about the party, the people and the collective rather than the individual.

? But after the book was compiled, he was so tired that he vomited blood and was critically ill for nine days.

? Finally, because of the persecution of the counter-revolutionary clique, Xu Haidong died in tears in Zhengzhou.

? Later, in order to commemorate the anniversary of its birth 1 10, a granite statue of Xu Haizhong riding a white horse and carrying a gun with a height of 1 1 m was built.

I think Xu Haidong is a very representative figure, representing the rise of the bottom of society at that time. Of course, there are countless such people, but he is a very sincere and brave person who takes the party as the center, advances and retreats with the party, shares difficulties and dedicates the rest of his life to the party.
