Highlighted personality evaluation

I remember one day in the 1980s, Comrade Gao Liang came to my home in Shijiazhuang. He is not tall and has a simple and honest smile. He held a photo album of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area in his hand and gave it to me and my wife Zhang Zhenchuan. We had a good time and had a good chat. Zhenchuan and Laogao are both Laoba Road. They fought against the Japanese devils together, liberated China together, and fought against the Americans together on the Korean battlefield. * * * is rich in topics. The photo album he sent showed the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region where Zhenchuan grew up and fought, and he felt particularly cordial. Lao Gao's trip to Shijiazhuang was very tight, and he left after chatting for less than an hour. At that time, my old mother, who was nearly ninety, was still alive. After I retired, I went to Beijing to visit the elderly every month or two. Once, Gao Liang invited me to his house for dinner. I was glad to go, but I said, "There are so many dormitories in People's Daily, I don't know the way, so I'm afraid it's hard to find." Lao Gao immediately said nobly, "I'll send a car to pick you up." Sure enough, on the appointed day, the People's Daily car stopped at the downstairs of my mother's residence on time.

When I arrived at Lao Gao's home, I met Lao Gao and his wife Li Zuhui, who were photographers of Beijing Daily and my old colleagues in the 1950s. Everyone talked about familiar things, and they were very happy to eat, drink and drink.

After my mother left in the 1990s, I went to Beijing less often. I only called my friends in Beijing a few times. Gao Liangjia always said that he was in the hospital and Zuhui accompanied him. I didn't meet this couple until 2002. They took photos together in 2005. They gave me a sorghum memoir "Footprints of History" inscribed by Marshal Nie and prefaced by General Yang Chengwu. After Lao Gao's death, I deliberately took out this book and reread it ... In memory of my sacrificed comrade "Soybean", I changed my name to Gao Liang.

Gao Liang is from Yixian County, Hebei Province. He was born in a poor peasant family. When he was seven or eight years old, he worked as a part-time job for the land, and later became a work-study program. 1936 joined the vanguard of the Chinese nation in the first grade. War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression started at 1937, and Gao Liang and several comrades took the No.8 route. The first person in charge he met was Yang Chengwu.

Once, on an opaque night, the regimental headquarters asked each of them to carry only three matches, without swords and guns, run three miles, cross a wooden bridge over a river, and take out a note with his name on it from some dead traitors handed over by the government to the regiment for execution. This pair of rural youth who have heard ghost stories since childhood must overcome their fears in order to withstand this test. After the task is completed, highlighting the dead won't feel sick. He can eat and sleep among the dead.

After many battles, Gao Liang became a fearless commander. 1942 In May, more than 3,000 Japanese devils attacked our main force in Taihang Mountain. Wang Jiucheng, the company commander of Gaoliang, is from Liaoning. He cries when he sings "On the Songhua River" on weekdays. He hopes that one day, he can return to his hometown in the northeast. Over time, people called him "soybean" in the lyrics. That task is to stop 3000 enemies, transfer my main force and win more time. This is a tough battle. Faced with the choice of life and death, the company commander and instructor highlight, nicknamed "Soybean", and are vying to lead the team to meet the enemy. Finally decided to go to the company commander.

When he left, Wang Jiucheng patted the highlighted shoulder and said with a smile, "Do you remember the songs you used to sing? My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast, where the mountains are full of forest coal mines and soybean sorghum. You should do more good for the people in the future, and don't forget me. "

Wang Jiucheng-"Soybean" and more than forty soldiers repelled the enemy's 32 onslaught overnight, and all of them died heroically in the end, which ensured the smooth transfer of our army. The next day, Gao Liang said bitterly, "The soybean is gone, and Gao Liang is still there." He immediately made a report to the Communist Youth League Party Committee, and changed the original name of Gao Liangyu to "Gao Liang", always remembering this good comrade-in-arms Wang Jiucheng who commemorated the turning point of life and death.

At the end of 1945, the political commissar of Luo Ruiqing called Gao Liang and gave him a special task. Command Gao Liang to fly directly from Zhangjiakou to Jinzhou to see if there are100000 sets of cotton-padded jacket and a batch of weapons and ammunition in the warehouse. The plane is a Japanese fighter and the pilot is a Japanese prisoner of war. Gao Liang can't speak Japanese, but can only write Chinese characters to communicate with pilots. Before departure, the Ministry of Enemy Works had clearly explained the task to the prisoners of war and done a good job in ideological work, but the leader was very uneasy and explained: "There can only be one passenger on the plane. You should sit in the bomber's seat and pay attention to the flight route along the Great Wall. If you find yourself flying deep into the Bohai Sea, it means that the pilot is going to escape. You must make a decisive decision to shoot the pilot and die with him. " Highlighting the first flight, his frozen fingers were tightly buckled on the trigger of the revolver, and his eyes were motionless, staring at the pilot and the ground. Upon arrival, Liaoxi Army Command sent cars and cadres to Jinzhou Airport to meet Gao Liang. After intense work, in the afternoon, they completed the task and flew back to Zhangjiakou steadily. ■ Became a war photographer under the guidance of Sha Fei.

1In September, 939, a Cantonese named Sha Fei came in the battle of Huangtuling, killing the Japanese "Flower of the Famous Star". Sha Fei asked to go to Gaoliang Company for an interview, and the superior ordered to ensure the safety of Sha. Highlighting initially asked people to send sand to the second echelon. Hearing this, Sha Fei said seriously, "Instructor, I'm here to take part in the battle and take pictures of you who can best fight the company. How can I complete the following photo task? "

Sha Fei followed the highlight and took photos again and again on the battlefield with fierce firepower. Then, under the bombardment of the enemy, Sha Fei rushed to Bethune's small temple for an operation and took a classic shot of doctors saving lives in the war. This widely circulated photo not only touched the hearts of China's anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, but also left a deep impression on the world's anti-fascist masses.

That night, Sha Fei and Gao Liang were lying on the kang chatting. Sha Fei said: "Because China's economy is backward and the people's education level is low, it is very necessary to publicize it with photos so that everyone who reads the article can understand it." From then on, Sha Fei became the first teacher and guide of sorghum. Both of them were the earliest military photographers of the Eighth Route Army and pioneers of early photography of our party and army.

1944, Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region selects photographers. At that time, Gao Liang was the political commissar of the detachment. Should I continue to be a political commissar or a reporter? Of the two choices, Gao Liang resolutely chose the photojournalist of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Pictorial. After being wrongly labeled as "Rightist" for 20 years, Gao Liang regained his reputation. He was faced with another choice. 1978, the central military commission appointed Gao Liang as the commander of a provincial military region, but he asked to return to the People's Daily as a reporter after implementing the policy. Facing the post of demobilized military cadres, Gao Liang said flatly: "I have been a reporter for many years and I am used to it. I am reluctant to leave." Later, someone wrote a close-up about the highlighted characters, entitled "Improper Commanders as Journalists". ■ Leading the main attack group to liberate Shijiazhuang.

1947165438+10, the liberation of Shijiazhuang started. The political commissar of Hu Yaobang called Gao Liang, and the commander of the column, Ceng Siyu, and the political commissar, Wang Zhao, said to Gao Liang, "A regimental leader and political commissar accidentally stepped on a mine and died. Now I'll leave this regiment to you, and you will be the acting head and political commissar, and you will go to the main attack regiment, the tenth brigade and the thirty-first regiment to direct the operations. Be sure to attack downtown Shijiazhuang ... "

Gao Liang, a war correspondent, rushed to the regimental headquarters code-named "Ministry of Construction" in the shortest time to learn about the overall deployment of the campaign and the mission of the regiment, immediately held a cadre meeting, got familiar with commanders at all levels, learned about the configuration of firearms and the preparation of weapons and ammunition, reviewed the operational plan provided by the chief of staff, and then mobilized to each battalion. The mission of this group is to break through the outer city ditch between Huaidi Village and Fantan Village. Chief of staff accompanied Gao Liang to climb to the front to see the terrain and choose a breakthrough. The enemy's gunfire was so dense that it made a loud noise. Gao Liang was buried in the soil and climbed out of it a few minutes later.

After the breakthrough, Gao Liang will go to the front with the first battalion. The chief of staff and the director are very concerned about his safety. Highlight: "Comrade, don't forget that I am still a front-line reporter!" Gao Liang ran to the class of sharp knife and even sharp knife, and commanded close combat with the enemy while taking photos. He used pits, trees and doorways to take pictures and pressed the shutter as he went forward. Blowing up the city ditch, the battle of Zheng Tai Hotel, breaking into the enemy headquarters, street fighting on Zhongshan Road, and destroying the enemy police station all entered his lens. After nearly ten years of fierce fighting, Gao Liang has become an expert in commanding operations. His regiment was the first to break the city and made great contributions to the liberation of Shijiazhuang.

After Lao Gao died, the People's Daily held a grand memorial service for him. Many people attended and admired this old journalist comrade with a steel gun, good marksmanship and excellent writing. Everyone silently wishes: Comrade Gao Liang, please go!
