Chairman Mao visited the Nanjing Military Region in the 1960s. Chairman Mao said after seeing Tang Liang, can you swim?
However, it is such an "honest man in the army" who told a lie in front of Chairman Mao. ...
1956 September 15, the eighth national congress of China * * * production party was held in the auditorium of CPPCC. As a representative of the PLA delegation, Tang Liang was invited to attend the meeting.
At the preparatory meeting in early September, Chairman Mao said in his speech:
After listening to Chairman Mao's speech, the comrades concerned felt very embarrassed about this matter. Because the list of members of the Central Committee has been sent to all delegations and is in the process of preparation, it will bring a lot of trouble if it is changed at this time.
On September 4th, knowing that he was on the nomination list of alternate members of the Central Committee, Tang Liang immediately wrote to Liu Bocheng, He Long, Nie and Huang Kecheng, heads of the PLA delegation, hoping to remove his name from the nomination list of alternate members of the Central Committee.
In the letter, Tang Liang called himself "the political commissar of the major military regions. Even if he is not an alternate member of the Central Committee, he has the opportunity to attend the Central Working Conference and hear the voices of the Central Committee and Chairman Mao in time. This matter is completely heartfelt, please adopt it. "
Learned that Tang Liang volunteered to withdraw from the central alternate committee member, chairman MAO said with appreciation:
Later, Tang Liang voluntarily gave up the list of alternate members of the Central Committee, which was widely praised by the whole party, and everyone sincerely admired his behavior. Until May of 1958. When the Central Committee convened the second meeting of the Eighth Central Committee, Tang was added as an alternate member of the Central Committee.
During the period of 1959, a number of new cadres were promoted in Nanjing Military Region, and political commissar Tang Liang was invited to give a report to these newly promoted cadres in the military region auditorium. Tang Liang said, and mentioned the story of Sun Shuai as the Prime Minister of Chu. He said:
After telling this story, Tang Liang went on to say:
In the early 1960s, Chairman Mao visited the Nanjing Military Region for inspection.
After meeting Chairman Mao, Tang Liang reported to Chairman Mao the work of the military region according to normal procedures, and made a detailed report to Chairman Mao on the study of Chairman Mao's works in the military region.
After listening to Tang Liang's report, Chairman Mao said frankly, "My article is nothing to learn. If it is worth reading, it is the' two theories' (contradiction theory and practice theory) ... "
Later, when meeting Tang Liang at No.8 Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Chairman Mao said, "Comrade Tang Liang, can you swim?"
Knowing that Chairman Mao likes swimming, Tang Liang didn't think much and blurted out: "A little." When' tis once spoken, Tang Liang regretted it. How can he blame himself for lying in front of Chairman Mao?
Chairman Mao believed Tang Liang's words. In his mind, General Tang Liang has always been an honest man, and such a person will not lie.
After Chairman Mao left Nanjing, the more Tang Liang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He knew clearly that he couldn't swim at all, and said that he could learn something from Chairman Mao. This is very wrong. So, Tang Liang wanted to remedy it, so he went to the swimming pool to find the captain of the swimming team and humbly asked him to teach himself to swim. After studying for more than ten days, he finally learned "dog crawling" and felt much more at ease.
It can be seen from this incident that Tang Liang's title of "honest man in the army" is definitely not empty talk. He is not only honest, but also set an example in his work and won the trust of his comrades. In this regard, he often said: "The most convincing thing in political work is the example of leadership!"
1910 June 13, Tang Liang was born in a tenant farmer's family in Huoshiling, Yonghe City, Liuyang County, Hunan Province. Because her family was poor, when she was 1 1, Tang Liang went to work in a firecracker factory to earn money. During this period, Tang Liang suffered a lot, and he was very indignant at the fact that his workers had their wages deducted.
At the beginning of 1926, Tang Liang, who was only 16 years old, took part in the "Young Workers' Club" with hatred for the old society and was elected as the leader of the apprentice life investigation team. Later, he joined the workers' picket and the peasant Red Guards in his hometown of Liuyang. During this period, Tang Liang joined the Red Guards to support the Red Sanjuntuan in attacking Changsha.
1930, Tang Liang joined the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants and became a member of the Red Army. In the same year, Tang Liang joined the China Production Party and became a glorious party member. Soon, Tang Liang was appointed as the political commissar of the Red Third Army Corps Company, and participated in all previous anti-encirclement and suppression struggles in the Central Soviet Area.
Every time he fought, Tang Liang always took the lead, was brave and tenacious, and was praised by his superiors many times. During this period, Tang Liang was sent to the Red Army University to attend a political class for senior cadres.
1934 10, Tang Liang participated in the Long March with the Red Army. After the Long March, Tang Liang was assigned to the Political Department of the Red Army Corps as the organization minister, and later appointed as the head of the organization department. The following year, he was appointed as the director of the Political Department of the Red Army Corps. During this period, Tang Liang carried out revolutionary optimism education for the troops and achieved great results.
1937, full-scale War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression outbreak. Tang Liang was appointed as the head of the Organization Department of the 343rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division of the National Revolutionary Army. Enter the anti-Japanese front line in northeast Shanxi with the troops and participate in the Pingxingguan campaign; 1939, Tang Liang was transferred to the position of Deputy Director of the Political Department of the 344th Brigade, and went to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region with the troops to create an anti-Japanese base area.
1June, 940, Tang Liang was appointed as the director of the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army's Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region. At this time, 30-year-old Tang Liang just wanted to take part in the revolution honestly and never considered personal issues. Even talking to the female comrades in the army will make her blush for a long time.
Although Tang Liang blushes when talking to girls, he likes children very much, and so do the children in the army headquarters. In his spare time, when he saw the children skipping, Tang Liang always beamed and teased them.
On one occasion, Tang Liang was playing with some children in the yard. Lu Shaowu, chief of staff of the Military Region, came over and said to Tang Liang with a smile, "Old Tang, you like children so much, why don't you find a wife to have one? That way, it's more fun to tease! "
Lu Shaowu's words made Tang Liang's face red at once. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about it in a few years!" Lu Shaowu took the opportunity to say, "You are not in a hurry, but you are worried about all our brothers. You can't be single all your life? "
Lu Shaowu's words were not a whim. Even Yang Dezhi said to his wife Shen at home, "Our director Tang is an honest man. He is over 30 years old and still lives alone. We have to find a way to find someone for him. " After listening to Yang Dezhi, Shen said, "Yes, Tang Liang is very good, but he is stubborn. He is indifferent to other people's worries. In my opinion, as long as you aim at an object, you can have a' quick fix' directly. "
One day, Yang Dezhi, Tang Liang and others went to visit the army together. When passing by the training station of the Women's Salvation Association in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region, Yang Dezhi wanted to take this opportunity to introduce a girl to Tang Liang, so he said to everyone, "Oh, it's so hot that my throat is almost smoking. Let's go to the village to beg for saliva."
Yang Dezhi said, and led the way directly in front, and everyone followed. After a while, I came to a yard. After meeting the girl, Yang Dezhi smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang, we have a visitor. We want to sit in the house for a while and ask for a glass of water. "
Soon, the little girl Zhang came out with a bunch of bowls, counting them one by one, exactly nine, no more, no less. Seeing this scene, Tang Liang thought, "This girl, just look at it and you will know how many people are here. Really not simple! "
After Xiao Zhang poured the water into the bowl, Yang Dezhi took a sip and said, "Xiao Zhang, do you know all these comrades?" Xiao Zhang shook his head and never looked back, so Yang Dezhi introduced her one by one.
When it was Tang Liang's turn, Yang Dezhi cleared his throat and raised his voice and said, "This is Tang Liang, director of the Political Department of our military region, a native of Liuyang, Hunan, and a farmer in our province. This population is good and honest, only in their early 30s. So far, he hasn't talked about anyone. He ah, already have the conditions to get married ... "
Yang Dezhi's introduction made Xiao Zhang feel puzzled. She thought to herself, "Commander Yang said so much about Director Tang. Whether he is married or not is none of my business! "
On the way back, Yang Dezhi and Tang Liang came together and said in a low voice, "This comrade Zhang is called, originally named. What's your impression of her? " "Yes, people are very capable and enthusiastic." Tang Liang said without thinking.
Seeing that Tang Liang had a good impression on Aring Zhang, Yang Dezhi smiled and said, "OK, I'll be your matchmaker!" Hearing Yang Dezhi's words, Tang Liang understood, blushed at once, touched his head and said, "Ah! Ah ... this matter will be considered later! "
See Tang Liang hard, Yang Dezhi seriously said: "Oh, what, what do you have to consider! Don't be embarrassed, we are all soldiers, and we pay attention to being resolute. " With that, Yang Dezhi strode away.
Later, with the help of Yang Dezhi and others, Tang Liang finally began to get in touch with Aring Zhang, and soon went from acquaintance to love. Soon, it's time to talk about marriage
Yang Dezhi was very happy to learn that they were going to get married, and immediately announced to everyone: "Tang Liang and Aring Zhang decided to get married today, and everyone came to eat wedding candy!"
Like all wartime marriages, just three days after marriage, Tang Liang went to the front because of the tension of the war, leaving Ray to work alone in the rear.
1944, Tang Liang was appointed as political commissar of Shandong Binhai Military Region and secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Binhai District Committee. Later, he served as deputy director and director of the Political Department of Shandong Military Region, deputy director and director of the Political Department of East China Military Region, and director of the Political Department of the Third Field Army.
1950 in may, Tang Liang was appointed secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee.
Although Tang Liang, secretary of the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, kept a low profile, the news that he became a "big official" spread to Nanle County, the hometown of his lover Aring Zhang.
Hearing that his son-in-law became a "big official", Aring Zhang's second uncle immediately came to Nanjing from Henan and asked his son-in-law Tang Liang to arrange a position for him.
After seeing my second uncle, Tang Liang said sincerely, "Uncle, what do you want?" "I want to join the army!" My uncle said loudly. Listen to my uncle, Tang Liang was surprised, but still asked, "you are more than 40 years old. How can you be a soldier? " "Not a soldier, not an official?" "You have neither any expertise nor much contribution to the revolution. What kind of official can you be? "
Tang Liang's gentle words made the second uncle feel that there was a door to this matter, so he looked up and said, "You give me a head first."
My uncle's words completely ignited Tang Liang's anger. He couldn't stand it any longer, so he kicked my second uncle out. Speaking of it, it's not the first time that Aring Zhang's second uncle is looking for a senior official in Tang Liang.
As early as War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time, Aring Zhang's second uncle was just a peddler. I heard that my son-in-law Tang Liang served as the party secretary and political commissar of Binhai District. My second uncle came from Nanle County, Henan Province, and asked Tang Liang to arrange a job for him, patting his chest and saying anything.
Tang Liang was very happy to see his uncle willing to contribute to the revolution. He said: "Now the whole country is resisting Japan, and we have the money to contribute. The troops are loading and unloading food and are short of hands. You should work there for a few days first. "
Originally, my uncle wanted Tang Liang to find him a tight job, but I didn't expect him to load and unload food. Because of the face of Tang Liang and nephew Aring Zhang, my uncle didn't leave on the spot, so he had to go to the appointed place.
When he got there, the second uncle only brought food for one day, and he couldn't carry it anymore. He left quietly without leaving a word. This incident embarrassed Tang Liang, known as an "honest man".
This time, my uncle asked for an official position directly, which annoyed Tang Liang. It makes sense to be thrown out. After all, Tang Liang is a selfless outstanding cadre who grew up under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought. He really can't accept this kind of thing.
From 65438 to 0953, Tang Liang served as deputy political commissar of the East China Military Region and the second secretary of the Party Committee. In the same year, according to the central decision, the military region began to streamline some female soldiers and let them change jobs, demobilize, resign or retire.
Considering that Zhang Rui's family has many children and a heavy burden, it is very difficult to live on Tang Liang's salary alone. The responsible comrades of the military region decided to let Zhang Rui stay in the army.
After learning that the military region planned to leave his wife in the army, Tang Liang lost his temper and called the department leader who handled the matter and severely criticized: "Why did you leave my lover behind? What reason does she have to stay? Do I have to be special because I am your leader? "
Seeing Tang Liang's resolute criticism, the leader was very uneasy and walked out of Tang Liang's office with trepidation.
After returning to the office, the leaders immediately held a meeting to study the actual situation in Aring Zhang. Considering Zhang Rui's company-level experience of 12 years, the Ministry unanimously agreed to promote Ray to the deputy battalion post and then resign from the deputy battalion post, giving her some reasonable subsidies to reduce her family burden.
After learning about this arrangement, Tang Liang was still not satisfied, and let people find the relevant leaders. After meeting the leader, Tang Liang said seriously: "I support and support my wife's resignation, but I don't agree to mention her as the deputy battalion commander. As the leader of the military region, you should set an example and handle my family well. I ask you to be stricter, not to take any care. "
In this way, Aring Zhang cleanly withdrew from the army and became a "housewife". Later, Aring Zhang asked Tang Liang to help her find a job in the local area to supplement her family.
After listening to Aring Zhang, Tang Liang didn't think so. He said, "aren't you busy enough with these people?" Besides, locals are most afraid of you' official wives'. You can't do big things, you can't do small things, you can't do much, and people are hindering your feelings, which is not good for anyone. " Then, he joked, "I am the emperor behind closed doors, and you are the queen." What's wrong? "
Tang Liang's words made Aring Zhang unable to refute, so she had to be a full-time wife. Soon after, Aring Zhang's worry was verified. Tang Liang's salary alone supported a large family, making the family's economic conditions very poor. Aring Zhang had to divide Tang Liang's salary into several parts, most of which were used for children's schooling and meals, and he never wanted to buy new clothes.
At that time, in order to save money at home, when Aring Zhang went to the store to buy necessary daily necessities, he always wore a patched dress and repeatedly chose the cheapest thing among the goods. When Aring Zhang left the shop, some arrogant people pretended to pat their dust and laughed at her for being old-fashioned.
On one occasion, Aring Zhang fell ill and went to Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region to queue up for registration. Standing in a large group of people waiting in line, Aring Zhang in simple clothes looks like a rural aunt.
Finally, when it was Aring Zhang's turn to see a doctor, the medical staff thought that Aring Zhang was an ordinary rural woman with extremely unfriendly words and called her a "hillbilly". Although Aring Zhang was very angry, considering his lover's face, he showed his due quality and didn't have an attack on the spot.
On the way home, Zhang Rui became more and more angry. Back home, Aring Zhang angrily told his lover Tang Liang about the hospital. Tang Liang was not angry at this, but smiled and said, "What a hillbilly! Without a hillbilly, where can I eat and wear warm clothes? "
1955 In April, the Nanjing Military Region was established, with Xu as commander and Tang Liang as political commissar. In September, the PLA implemented the rank system, and Tang Liang was awarded the rank of general.
From 65438 to 0958, due to poor health, Tang Liang was appointed as the second political commissar of the Nanjing Military Region.
1963, Aring Zhang was diagnosed with oral cancer. After half a year's treatment, Aring Zhang was out of danger, but his voice was not very clear. Soon after, Aring Zhang was diagnosed with cirrhosis and ascites. The disease not only tortured her body, but also made her feel depressed all the time.
To this, Tang Liang is very worried. He encouraged his wife to cherish her health, enhance her confidence and strive for an early recovery. Even if I go to Beijing for a meeting, I still think of my wife and write to her. In the letter, Tang Liang said:
With the care and encouragement of Tang Liang, Aring Zhang regained her confidence and gradually became optimistic and cheerful. After active treatment, his health has been greatly improved.
In February, 65438, Tang Liang, who was in poor health, was allowed to leave his post and take a rest. After retiring, Tang Liang paid more attention to Aring Zhang. He not only cooks delicious meals for his wife, but also often goes out for a walk with her.
From 65438 to 0972, Tang Liang recovered. Under the organizational arrangement, he served as the political commissar of the military and political university and the first secretary of the party Committee.
Under the care of Tang Liang, Aring Zhang's health gradually improved. But Tang Liang became ill again because of overwork. Considering that she could not work normally, Tang Liang left her job again to recuperate. At the suggestion of Aring Zhang, Tang Liang and Aring Zhang left Beijing and returned to Nanjing to settle down.
After returning to Nanjing, Aring Zhang went to the hospital for a physical examination. When the doctor who treated her in those years saw Zhang Rui, he was very surprised and said happily, "It has been more than 20 years. It's a miracle that you are still so healthy! "
Aring Zhang was very happy to hear the doctor's praise. When he got home, he smiled and said to Tang Liang, "I have lived for so many years because of you! For so many years, thank you for not only not treating me as a burden, but also treating me as a baby. "
1986165438+1On October 20th, Tang Liang died at the age of 76. Tang Liang, an honest man in the army, wrote a poem before his death:
As the last hope, between the lines of this poem, Tang Liang's profound belief in productism and his optimistic attitude towards revolution are reflected!
