At this moment, an old and firm voice came from the microphone: "I am Han Xianchu. Please connect me with Yu, director of the General Political Department of China People's Liberation Army. I have something to look for him. "
Who's Han Xianchu? That was a founding general, a hero to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, and an old general known as "Cyclone Commander". The operator did not dare to delay and quickly transferred the call to Yu.
After receiving the phone call, I only heard a sentence from Han Xianchu: "I am old and have physical problems. Please arrange a job for my secretary Yao Kegui as soon as possible. I can't delay others any longer ... "
Soon after, Yang Dezhi, chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army, also received a message from Han Xianchu:
1986 is the last year of Han Xianchu's life. Why did Cyclone Commander arrange work for Yao Kegui in this special year? What is Yao Kegui's identity? Where did he end up?
Let's follow the article to find the answer slowly and feel the sincere friendship of the older generation of revolutionaries!
1936165438+10 In October, Yao Kegui was born in a poor family in Shashi, Hubei. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, he came to Shashi Xinsha Middle School to study, and was affirmed by teachers with excellent results.
But when he was at school, bullets broke out in the Korean battlefield in the northeast. In order to maintain the peace and stability of the motherland, Yao Kegui, like other patriotic youths, obeyed the call of the motherland and resolutely abandoned his pen and joined the China People's Liberation Army.
However, because Yao Kegui was too young, the organization did not send him to the front line of North Korea, but assigned him to the Military Academy of Nanjing People's Liberation Army for training.
During school, Yao Kegui often heard the name of "Cyclone Commander" Han Xianchu. When the young Yao Kegui heard about his deeds, he followed Han Xianchu's example and hoped that he could become such a hero in the future.
After graduating from Nanjing PLA Military Academy, he was sent to the First Political Cadre School of PLA to study, and 1957 completed his studies.
This kind of treatment is not available to everyone in the two military and political colleges. At this time, Yao Kegui faced a bright and smooth road.
But at this time, Yao Kegui applied to the organization.
He volunteered to go to the grassroots level. After considering Yao Kegui's opinions, he was arranged to work in the 28 th Army at the front line in Fujian. However, Yao Kegui still thought that the starting point was too high, applied for decentralization again, and took the initiative to become a private in the company.
/kloc-in the winter of 0/966, the army arranged for Yao Kegui to go to the People's Armed Forces Department to investigate and study and rectify the leading group. After the work, the political department found him with Minister Yu.
Minister Yu came straight to the point and said, "Comrade Ke Gui, you should be prepared for what I say next. The organization is considering transferring you to the commander as a secretary. "
"Commander?"
Minister Yu nodded and explained, "Generally speaking, the party secretary of the military region is also the political commissar of the military region. The political commissar of our military region is General Ye Fei. The organization wants you to be a secretary to Han Xianchu, commander of Fuzhou Military Region. "
Hearing that he would accept such a heavy responsibility, Yao Kegui quickly said, "Minister, my qualifications, ability and level are not enough. I am afraid that I will delay the work of Commander Han. "
Hearing Yao Kegui's worry, Minister Yu waved his hand and comforted him: "Comrade Kegui,' Heaven will demote us to great responsibilities, and we must first work hard on their minds and bones'. This is what the sage Mencius said. If you think it is impossible, you can work hard. This matter has been studied and decided by the Party Committee of the Political Department. Just wait for the notice. "
Sure enough, after the Spring Festival the following year, Yao Kegui received a notice to ask Commander Han to handle the work. Shi Ming, director of the Party Committee Office, personally found Yao Kegui and encouraged him:
"Doing a good job will not be smooth sailing. You must study hard in practice, strive to grow your ability and take on heavy responsibilities. "
At this time, someone will ask, is it so terrible to be a secretary to Commander Han? Is it so difficult to be a secretary, from "racking one's brains and tightening one's muscles" to "assiduously honing and shouldering heavy responsibilities"?
But the fact is, working as a secretary for Han Xianchu is really not a good job!
As we all know, "Cyclone Commander" Han Xianchu not only worked hard on the battlefield, but also worked hard at work. As a soldier, he doesn't like to sit in an office, but insists on a front-line investigation post. But as his secretary, he naturally has to run around.
And because Han Xianchu is in Fuzhou Military Region, separated from Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang army by a sea, Han Xianchu has a lot of work, so he often has to work overtime until the early hours of the morning and continue to work the next morning.
Han Xianchu is full of energy. He sleeps four or five hours a day, and his secretary works seventeen or eighteen hours a day following Commander Han's biological clock, so "Sunday" and "holiday" naturally become fantasy words.
However, under the entrustment of the Party, Yao Kegui resolutely accepted the appointment and began his "bitter" hard life.
1in March, 967, Yao Kegui officially became the secretary of Han Xianchu, and for the first time he saw the role model he worshipped as a child. Even after many years, Han Xianchu still remembers the scene at that time:
"Medium height, straight back, hale and hearty, buzz cut, slightly convex forehead, chestnut face natural and serious, and loud voice. Clothes and pants are straight, and at first glance they are people who pay great attention to decoration on weekdays. "
As Han Xianchu has just been transferred to Fujian Military Region, they didn't say much, but simply arranged Yao Kegui's office area.
Han Xianchu's home is in the two-story building on the east side of the tunnel of the wartime command post of the military region, and Han Xianchu's office and conference room are on the west side. As his secretary, Yao Kegui's office area must not be too far away.
So, Han Xianchu set three tables in front of the office and asked Yao Kegui to do his homework in the open air (later moved to the room).
Yao Kegui was psychologically prepared before he came to work here. Although the working environment was almost poor, he could bear it, but Yao Kegui didn't realize his hard work until he really started working.
As mentioned earlier, Han Xianchu doesn't like to work in an office. In order to get first-hand information, he often goes to the grassroots. Yao Kegui, the chief of the entourage, and the guards will certainly follow.
On one occasion, Yao Kegui was still sleeping at home when he suddenly heard someone knocking at the room. He woke up suddenly, quickly tidied up his clothes and opened the door. It's Han Xianchu on the road.
Han Xianchu outside said kindly, "Xiaoyao, it's time for us to go out of town again. Please inform the same comrades that we are leaving now. " Then he walked back to his office.
Yao Kegui, who just woke up, is still a little at a loss. It took him a long time to realize that he had to work. At this time, he looked at the clock on the wall, and the hour hand just pointed to five o'clock.
During that time, Yao Kegui didn't rest at all. They once ran to more than 20 cities and counties in just two months.
On weekends, Han Xianchu occasionally asks Yao Kegui to go home to have a look, but often just after going out, Han Xianchu's phone calls come one after another, asking him to go back to the office immediately to deal with urgent affairs.
Under the influence of Han Xianchu, Yao Kegui regarded the office as his home from the first day when he became a secretary, but it also led to his own small home.
When Yao Kegui's eldest son was born, Yao Kegui was unable to go home on business. His wife gmcc endured severe postpartum pain and called him:
"Your, our child was born. As a father, give him a name! "
Sitting in the office, Yao Kegui thought for a moment, but was interrupted by the staff's documents. In desperation, Yao Kegui can only casually say, "Just call him Yao Yuan." Then I hung up the phone and went on working.
Busy work made him forget himself, but in front of everyone, Yao Kegui's small family was ignored.
Two years later, because I haven't seen my husband for a long time, gmcc plans to take Yao, who is two and a half years old, to visit the military region. Young Yao Yuan was so excited that she clutched her mother tightly.
Soon after, Yao Yuan was taken to an office. When he opened the door, he found a man with glasses and a military coat stretching out his arm and smiling at himself.
The sensible Yao Yuan said loudly: "Hello, uncle of the People's Liberation Army!"
Who knows, the so-called "uncle" cried with tears: "doll! My doll! I am your father, your father! "
Hearing his uncle's voice, Yao Kegui was heartbroken. Only then did he really realize the lack of family, but there was no way. He is the People's Liberation Army, and he is Han Xianchu's secretary!
Han Xianchu knew Yao Kegui's professionalism like the back of his hand, so when 1973 the commanders of the eight military regions were switched, Han Xianchu specially asked Yao Kegui to help himself after taking office in Lanzhou Military Region.
However, the work in Lanzhou is even harder. In order to understand the working conditions here, Yao Kegui and Han Xianchu conducted a 13 border inspection together, which often caused water and food shortages.
On one occasion, Han Xianchu drove 1000 kilometers, and it snowed halfway. At that time, Yao Kegui was still wearing thick cotton-padded clothes.
"Click" Han Xianchu opened the car door and wanted to check it. At this time, a cold wind blew directly into Yao Kegui's face. Yao Kegui quickly said, "Chief, it's so cold today that we can't go on."
Han Xianchu didn't answer, but a person got off. Yao Kegui couldn't bear the old chief to go down alone, so he followed. But less than five minutes after he got off the bus, his cotton-padded clothes were all cold, like falling into an ice cave.
Moreover, following Han Xianchu's inspection is not a tour. As a secretary, Yao Kegui takes notes. 1982, when Han Xianchu visited six counties in Hubei, he took away more than 80 notebooks and more than 500 information cards.
According to statistics, from 1969 to 1984, Yao Kegui drafted more than 200 articles, about1150,000 words, of which 230,000 words were completed in cooperation with others.
In that era when there was no keyboard, every Chinese character was written by Yao Kegui, but whenever I recall this, Yao Kegui always regrets:
"I learned a lot from Commander Han!"
When you think of your achievements, you will immediately think of people who have helped you. This is a grateful person.
Every time I see the information in Yao Kegui's hand, Han Xianchu will always pat him on the shoulder and take the initiative to hold the information in his hand and say, "Look, our harvest is heavy!"
1979, Han Xianchu was transferred to the Standing Committee of the Military Commission. As a secretary, Yao Kegui naturally followed Han Xianchu to Beijing, which was proposed by Yao Kegui. In the past twenty years, Han Xianchu has already become Yao Kegui's closest friend.
At that time, Han Xianchu's residence in Beijing was made of cement. He looked at it and said, "This won't do. How can you plant trees in cement? "
Therefore, a piece of mud was left in the southwest of General Han Xianchu's residence. To this end, he personally planned sowing and led the staff to plant some fruits and vegetables.
In autumn, General Han Xianchu excitedly picked his own vegetables and gave them to his old comrades for tasting. At the same time, he will also specifically say to Yao Kegui:
"You go to pick something to eat after work and go back to Sean Xiao (Yao Kegui's wife plays gmcc). Those years can be bitter for him ... "
It's not that relatives are better than relatives. Their relationship has become like bosom friends. It's just a pity that one person will leave first in the Boya period.
As Han Xianchu grew older, his health went from bad to worse. In the revolutionary years of more than 20 years, a hungry life finally dragged down his health.
1986 65438+1October 15, Han Xianchu's liver cirrhosis has developed into liver cancer and can only be recuperated in Wuhan hospitals. Lying in bed Han Xianchu suddenly thought of something, quickly picked up the phone in his hand:
"Xiaoyao, come to Wuhan for the Spring Festival this year. My birthday is coming. Let's celebrate together! "
654381October 29th, Han Xianchu called Yao Kegui again, hoping that he would come as soon as possible. 1 On February 29th, Yao Kegui finally came to Wuhan. When he saw Han Xianchu in the hospital bed, he suddenly realized:
To celebrate Han Xianchu's 73rd birthday, Yao Kegui specially ordered a big cake to toast the guests instead of Han Xianchu, who was seriously ill.
See Yao Kegui so hard, Han Xianchu eyes ruddy up slowly, he came to Yao Kegui on crutches, guiltily said to him:
"You told me for so many years. You are a secretary, a staff officer and an assistant. I have delayed you. "
Hearing this, Yao Kegui began to twitch at the corner of his mouth and choked and said, "Chief, don't say that. It is my pleasure to work beside you! "
Although Yao Kegui is outspoken, Han Xianchu is still uncomfortable. ...
After the Spring Festival, Han Xianchu personally called Yu, director of the General Political Department: "I am old and my health is out of order. Please arrange a job for my secretary Yao Kegui as soon as possible. I can't delay others any longer ... "
Yu naturally knew Yao Kegui's situation, so in front of his old comrades-in-arms, he agreed to it.
Later, the cadres of the PLA General Staff came to the hospital to express their condolences. Han Xianchu took his hand and said:
"You tell Yang Zong (Yang Dezhi) that my opinion assigns him (Yao Kegui) a job, and then you transfer it to help him write a biography."
This is what Han Xianchu was most concerned about before his death. Only by arranging Yao Kegui can he leave safely. ...
1On April 9, 986, Han Xianchu was taken back to Beijing by a special plane sent by the Central Military Commission, but after living at home for a period of time, he was admitted to 30 1 Hospital.
On May 28th, Yao Kegui visited the hospital. Han Xianchu saw Yao Kegui coming, raised his hand swollen like a steamed bun, and his face was very dissatisfied.
Yao Kegui stepped forward and gently stroked his hand, comforting: "It's all needles. It will be fine. "
"Can I be cured of this disease?"
Yao Kegui hesitated a little and continued to comfort: "Of course it will be fine. We must rest. Don't worry. "
In the days that followed, Han Xianchu's illness was always ups and downs, but Yao Kegui was always with him, urging him to have a good sleep and not to entertain foolish ideas.
On August 2, Han Xianchu's condition gradually stabilized, and he urged him to go home. The hospital finally reluctantly agreed to his request and sent doctors to provide treatment at any time.
On September 18, Yao Kegui, who was in a wheelchair, suddenly said, "Xiaoyao, don't sort out the information yet, come here!" Later, he asked his son Han to bring a box of moon cakes and some fruits, and said:
However, before the festival was over, Han Xianchu's body came to an end:
1986 10.03, the founding general Han Xianchu died of illness. Yao Kegui can't continue to be his secretary after cooking. Fortunately, under the organizational arrangement, Yao Kegui served as the director of the Political Department of the Armored Forces Command College of the People's Liberation Army, and served as the military education work, deputy corps level.
1988, the whole army resumed the rank system, so Yao Kegui was awarded the rank of major general. 1992, Yao Kegui served as political commissar and party secretary of the Institute of International Relations of the People's Liberation Army, and his rank also reached the rank of regular army.
1996, Yao Kegui retired gloriously, but his glorious past with Han Xianchu stayed in the army forever, and was greatly admired by ten thousand people!
