Anecdotes of Ouyang Ping's Characters

It was in July and August of 1938 that Ouyang Ping, then the political instructor of the Sixth Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University (also known as Suiying School of the Eighth Route Army), left Luochuan for Yan 'an with the team to attend the graduation ceremony of anti-Japanese college students. After his stay in Yan 'an, Zhang Zhengguang, director of the brigade political department, invited him to see Mao Zedong. Ouyang Ping said: "Chairman Mao is so busy, will he receive us?" Zhang Zhengguang replied, "Chairman Mao especially likes young people to chat with him. Almost every day, people go to see him, whether it is students from the army or students from the Kuomintang-controlled areas or enemy-occupied areas. As long as they pass the report, he will let you in. " Ouyang Ping thought that it would be great if he could be received by Chairman Mao! So I came to the cave where Mao Zedong lived under the Phoenix Mountain in Yan 'an in fear and trembling. Only after being notified by the guards are they allowed. After they made a ceremony to Mao Zedong, Mao Zedong called the guards to make tea for everyone, told everyone to sit down, asked their names and positions one by one, and asked them how the food was, how much oil each person ate every day, whether they could eat meat or not. After handing everyone a cigarette, Mao Zedong smiled and asked questions one by one. Ouyang Ping told Mao Zedong that he was from Xingguo. Mao Zedong said excitedly, "Oh, you are Xingguo's cousin. I have been to Xingguo several times. The rice noodle fish in your place is spicy and fragrant, and it tastes great. " Everyone burst into laughter and suddenly relaxed a lot. Mao Zedong asked Ouyang Ping what lessons he had taught as a political teacher for several years. Ouyang Ping was embarrassed to tell Chairman Mao that he had only studied for two years because his family was poor. After joining the Red Army, he studied in the Red Army School and got a diploma, so he stayed in the Red Army School as a teacher. At present, the lectures on "Basic Issues of China Revolution" in Anti-Japanese University mainly rely on selling, and only by holding a good education preparatory meeting can the lectures be given on stage. Most students are intellectuals now, so it is more difficult to give lectures than in the past. Mao Zedong encouraged him to say, "If you dare to give lectures to intellectuals, you can be regarded as a knowledgeable cadre of workers and peasants. You are all young, so study hard. We should learn respectfully and honestly, in terms of culture, theory and military science, and you should set an example. " The conversation was casual. Mao Zedong, like everyone else, was wearing a gray uniform and sitting on a bench, talking and laughing. After more than an hour, they left. Mao Zedong also personally escorted them to the door and said, "If you like, you can come later or write to Lu Yuan."

A few days later, Mao Zedong made a report at the meeting of anti-cadres. When talking about the theory of cadres' learning, he called on workers and peasants cadres to have knowledge, and listed some situations of Comrade Ouyang Ping, indicating that it is possible for workers and peasants cadres to have knowledge.

In August, 1938, the famous photographer of the Eighth Route Army General Political Department presented Ouyang Ping with a photo of Mao Zedong giving a lecture at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. Ouyang Ping gave this photo to Mao Zedong and asked him to write an inscription. A few days later, Ouyang Ping received a reply and sent back photos. On the back of the photo, four vigorous characters of "Struggle to the End" were written with a brush, and the signature was Mao Zedong,1August 9, 938. Since then, despite the war, Ouyang Ping has been treasured and kept Mao Zedong's teachings firmly in mind. 1939 In the spring, Ouyang Ping worked in Kangda Campus in southeastern Shanxi, and the client sent a letter to Mao Zedong. Two months later, Comrade Zhang Lingbin of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters handed Mao Zedong's handwritten reply to Ouyang Ping. In his letter, Mao Zedong not only encouraged Ouyang Ping to work with peace of mind, but also promised to recommend him to study in Marxism-Leninism College. 1940 1 1 In June, Ouyang Ping received a notice to study in Yan 'an Marxist-Leninist College. In February 65438, he went to Yan 'an, stayed in Baota shan Xiazonghou Guest House, and wrote to Mao Zedong for an interview. Mao Zedong met with him, invited him to eat mutton stewed potatoes, tofu fried cabbage, and inquired in detail about the work of the field investigation team led by Ouyang Ping.

19 16 In February, Ouyang was born in the home of a poor farmer in Zimu 'ao, Longping Township, Xingguo County. /kloc-in the autumn of 0/930, Ouyang Ping, who was still studying in Xiangning Primary School, joined Xingguo Independent Division with his teacher and went to the front to attack Ganzhou City. /kloc-in the spring of 0/7, he was elected as a member of the transportation construction of the Soviet government in Yongfeng District. At the beginning of summer, the Red Army General Training Team was transferred to training, and a month later it was transferred to the third phase of the Red Army School.

In the photo frame of Ouyang Ping's home, the graduation certificate issued by the Red Army School is still preserved. There is a line printed on the back of the certificate: "Fight for your own Soviet regime of workers and peasants!" The word "struggle" coincides with the inscription "struggle to the end" given to him by Chairman Mao six years later. 1934 to 10, Ouyang Ping participated in the Long March with Red Army cadres.

1April 2, 935, when I crossed the Wujiang River for the second time, I was seriously ill. Although the front echelon captured the crossing point after fighting and set up a pontoon bridge, it is not difficult to cross the river, but the mountains on both sides of the strait are steep and it is very difficult for normal people to walk. For him who suddenly fell ill, the difficulty can be imagined. When walking down from the river, Ouyang Ping's legs trembled and his head ached, but he finally walked down slowly. However, when climbing up the south bank of 10, it becomes more and more difficult, and it is really difficult to move. Besides being followed by health worker Luo Shaoqin, the company also sent two students to help him. It was not until dark that we arrived at San Lian Ying. That night, he couldn't eat or sleep, just groaned in pain.

The next day, before dawn, the team set off after breakfast. Instructor Wang Dongxing, with a class and a medic, pointed to a stretcher temporarily tied to the ground and told him to lie down and be carried by the students. Two other students who were slightly unwell followed. As for sitting on a stretcher, Ouyang Ping thinks that the students are already very tired, because they have to March for a long time and have to be on duty and fight. How could they have the heart to let them carry themselves? So he insisted on not sitting and followed with a stick. However, the cadres' regiment served as the guards of the flank marching, covered the central column and walked like flies. Ouyang Ping and several others soon fell behind.

At dawn, Wang Dongxing and several other comrades were in a hurry, forcing him to get on the stretcher, but he had to listen to the arrangement. Sitting on a stretcher for a long journey, the students (all grassroots cadres) were very tired because of the rugged roads going up and down the mountain. Lying on the stretcher, he became more and more uneasy and repeatedly begged to walk slowly. With the help of his comrades-in-arms (and sometimes carrying him), he stopped and stopped, and large troops passed by in a continuous stream, while he himself was struggling and worried. When I arrived at a village, it was near dusk, and I was a little relieved to see the rest company (mostly old people and women) of the central column health department camping here. More than ten miles away from the scheduled campsite, it was already dark, and he was hot and cold, as if he were falling apart. At this time, he can't walk. Wang Dongxing directly found the commander Peng and inquired about the cadres of this battalion. Peng asked the staff to contact him by phone, and finally learned that their residence was in a village 15 from here, and they would not leave tomorrow. Peng said to Wang Dongxing, "It's too dark for the patient to move. Cadres will not start work tomorrow. Stay here tonight until dawn. " And told the staff to ask the Ministry of Health to send doctors to treat patients. After Wang Dongxing conveyed it to us, we were all very moved.

After dawn, Ouyang Ping and his party moved on, but they still walked slowly. It was not until 8 o'clock in the morning that they found Sanlian Station. When Liu Lianchang and his comrades saw it, they all said, "It's good to keep up. We are really worried these days. "

Later, the company commander and instructor sent two students to bring a Huang Ma from the local tyrant's home and prepare a saddle. Wang Dongxing said, "Teacher Ouyang, there is a way. If you ride this horse, you won't have to take a stretcher and you won't fall behind. " I feel relaxed in my heart, and I am very grateful to the instructor and company commander.

For several days, Ouyang Ping's condition did not get worse, but it did not get better. He still doesn't want to eat, his head still hurts, his body also hurts, and he has no strength, but because he can't find medicine to eat, he can only drag and hold. Thanks to his riding and the help of his comrades, he didn't fall behind.

No matter where he goes, Ouyang Ping carries his party card with him. When the Long March crossed the grassland, Ouyang Ping walked with the troops for seven days and seven nights and was soaked to the skin. He carefully wrapped the party card in oil paper and put it in his arms to prevent it from getting wet. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Ouyang Ping went to work in Taishan Military Division. At that time, the struggle was fierce and life could be in danger at any time. He put the party card in the cellar where the logistics department hid guns and ammunition. During the War of Liberation, Ouyang Ping was the director of the Political Department of the 33rd Army of the Third Field Army, and participated in the campaigns of Jinan, Huaihai, Crossing the River and liberating Shanghai. He gave the party card to his lover Wu Wengui in the back room and told her to keep it safe.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/938, Ouyang Ping worked as a political teacher in the Third Team of the Sixth Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, went to Yan 'an to attend the graduation ceremony of the students of the Anti-Japanese University, and was met by Mao Zedong in Fenghuang Mountain. Knowing that Ouyang Ping only studied for two and a half years and became a political teacher through hard work, Mao Zedong encouraged him: "If you dare to teach intellectuals, you can be regarded as a knowledgeable cadre of workers and peasants. You are all very young. You should study hard cultural knowledge, revolutionary theory and military theory and play an exemplary role. " A few days later, Mao Zedong made a report at the "Anti-Japanese" cadre meeting, praised Ouyang Ping by name, and called on the cadres to "have knowledge of workers and peasants". A photographer took photos of Mao Zedong's report and sent them to Ouyang Ping. Ouyang Ping tried to write to Mao Zedong and asked him to write an inscription for the photo. A few days later, the photo came back. Mao Zedong wrote "Struggle to the End" with a brush on the back, and the signature was "Mao Zedong1August 9, 938". Ouyang Ping is very excited. Since then, he has been unswervingly carrying out the revolution to the end.

1September, 955, Ouyang Ping was awarded the rank of Major General, and was later awarded the Second Class August 1st Medal, the Second Class Medal of Independence and Freedom, and the First Class Medal of Liberation. In the same year 165438+ 10, Xu took Ouyang Ping to propose a toast at a welcoming banquet in Shanghai. Mao Zedong said happily, "You, Ouyang Ping, are the one who came to my home from Taihang Mountain to Yan 'an, right? He is now the deputy political commissar of Shanghai Garrison. You are all generals, don't be proud, keep fighting! " This earnest words made Ouyang Ping unforgettable for life.

1June, 964, Ouyang Ping saw Mao Zedong again. In the Great Hall of the People, Mao Zedong and other party and state leaders met with activists of the national public security team. Ouyang Ping, the leader of the public security forces, saluted Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong immediately shook hands with him and said, "Ouyang Ping, you are now working in the Ministry of Public Security. Well, you are a good soldier to revitalize the country! " Ouyang Ping said: "Thank you for your kind concern. I will firmly remember your inscription "Fight to the end."

Ouyang Ping kept his word, just as he said in his self-encouragement poem: "Life goes on, struggle goes on", and he practiced that clank oath with his life of struggle.
