"premier, i don't have anything else but this much strength. i can be a porter." after being pardoned, qiu xingxiang said when he met with premier zhou.

after hearing this, premier zhou shook his head and said: "your position is a cultural and historical specialist, and your status is a state cadre."

after hearing premier zhou's words, qiu xingxiang was moved to tears.

why does qiu xingxiang want to be a porter?

the captured "little chiang kai-shek"

on march 8, 1948, the chen-xie and chen-tang corps jointly launched the battle of luoyang. qiu xingxiang, known as the "little chiang kai-shek", was ordered to garrison luoyang. he told chiang kai-shek: "unless the sky falls and the earth collapses, luoyang will be safe."

but just a few days after this statement was made, the news of the fall of luoyang city reached nanjing.

with a heavy heart, chiang kai-shek announced to everyone that qiu xingxiang had "died for his country."

however, in fact, qiu xingxiang did not die, he became a prisoner of our army. before qiu xingxiang committed suicide, our army first found him and shot away his gun.

when he was first captured, qiu xingxiang resisted reform and wanted to show his loyalty to chiang kai-shek.

qiu xingxiang graduated from the fifth class of huangpu military academy. when he was in school, he was a promising student favored by chiang kai-shek. as the principal, chiang kai-shek often used his position to select students he thought were outstanding.

these people chosen by chiang kai-shek would be regarded as his confidants and trained. this is how qiu xingxiang was chosen by chiang kai-shek when he was in school.

chiang kai-shek had three principles for employing people: fenghua, huangpu, and loyalty. loyalty can be cultivated, and the first two points are the most important. after selecting qiu xingxiang, chiang kai-shek began to cultivate his loyalty.

no matter when, whenever chiang kai-shek mentioned qiu xingxiang's name, he would always ask two questions: what are you doing in huangpu and where are you from?

every time, qiu xingxiang answered without getting tired of it. when qiu xingxiang finished answering, chiang kai-shek would praise qiu xingxiang in front of everyone and said that he would definitely become a famous general in the future.

qiu xingxiang was naturally very happy to receive chiang's praise, especially when chiang asked everyone to take qiu xingxiang as a role model, qiu xingxiang was even more proud.

chiang kai-shek asked qiu xingxiang to be a role model for his students, and qiu xingxiang regarded chiang kai-shek as his own role model. he not only imitated chiang kai-shek's dressing style, but also his likes and dislikes.

chiang kai-shek hated cigarettes and alcohol, so qiu xingxiang quit smoking and drinking. he shaved his head like chiang kai-shek, wore a black cloak, and followed chiang kai-shek's example in everything.

when chiang kai-shek saw qiu xingxiang imitating him, he was not angry. instead, he felt that qiu xingxiang was very much in his heart.

because of chiang kai-shek's high regard for him, qiu xingxiang became chiang kai-shek's guard right after graduation. later, he also served as chen cheng's major adjutant and became chen cheng's confidant.

qiu xingxiang's growth experience was completely in line with the training of chiang kai-shek's confidant.

during the anti-japanese war, qiu xingxiang was indeed worthy of chiang kai-shek's training. he had indomitable courage on the battlefield. during the defense of shipai fortress, he fought bloody battles with the japanese army for seven days and nights, causing great damage to the japanese army.

during the battle of siping, qiu xingxiang led his troops to capture siping from our army, which made chiang kai-shek very happy.

chiang felt that he had not made a mistake in his judgment, and that qiu xingxiang was a man that could be cultivated. even when the kmt later lost the northeast, chiang did not put the blame on qiu xingxiang.

after qiu xingxiang fled the northeast, chiang kai-shek obviously did not want to give up on him. at that time, both of the northeast’s ace armies were defeated, but chiang kai-shek still had a reorganized division of the youth army.

he handed the reorganized division to qiu xingxiang and asked him to garrison luoyang. although qiu xingxiang vowed that he could defend it, he actually had no confidence at all.

having fought with our army in the northeast for such a long time, qiu xingxiang had a good understanding of our army's strength and capabilities. however, the strong equipment of the pla in the northeast did not mean that the pla in the interior was equally strong.

battle of luoyang, a new look

qiu xingxiang never understood why the national army was defeated in northeast china.

even if chiang kai-shek put all the blame on du yuming, qiu xingxiang knew that there was actually no problem with du yuming's command.

in that situation, no one could command as well as du yuming.

but it was precisely because du yuming's command was flawless that qiu xingxiang didn't know why they were defeated. could it be that the soldiers of the national army were not brave enough in battle? this didn't make sense.

qiu xingxiang really wanted to find out why this happened, because he knew that if he didn't figure out why the national army was defeated, the capture of luoyang would be inevitable.

but no one could answer qiu xingxiang's question.

because soon after he arrived in luoyang, luoyang was surrounded. luoyang had four gates, but he only had more than 10,000 soldiers and could not even defend the gates.

he wanted to ask chiang kai-shek for soldiers, but chiang kai-shek always said that he had no soldiers either.

i still remember that when ye peigao asked chiang kai-shek for troops, chiang kai-shek not only did not send him troops to support him, but also kept scolding him. after this incident, qiu xingxiang did not dare to ask chiang kai-shek for troops and could only go to defend luoyang obediently.

when facing the two major corps of our army, qiu xingxiang had no power to resist. he originally thought "if he fails, he will die", but our army did not give him this opportunity.

the gun he used to commit suicide was shot down by our army who arrived in time. qiu xingxiang became a prisoner, but when chiang kai-shek heard that qiu xingxiang had committed suicide, he planned to hold a memorial service for him.

qiu xingxiang knew very well how the nationalist army treated our prisoners of war. so when he was captured, he was already in despair.

he thought that what awaited him was endless torture for the rest of his life, and that he would die in such torture. however, this time qiu xingxiang guessed wrong again, and he was not abused.

not only was he not mistreated, his food was even better than that of our soldiers. qiu xingxiang ate a can of meat every few days, which our soldiers had never eaten.

qiu xingxiang thought that our army's kindness to prisoners was malicious. after all, the two armies had been hostile for so many years, so why would our army start to treat him well just because he was a prisoner?

but this is the fact. although qiu xingxiang resisted reform, our army has never treated him unfairly.

one day, chen geng appeared in front of qiu xingxiang. qiu xingxiang had heard of chen geng's name a long time ago. he admired and feared this senior, and was restrained in front of chen geng.

chen geng took him to visit the rear of our army. seeing that the soldiers were only eating coarse grains, qiu xingxiang's mind changed. he thought, what did our party want to gain by treating him so well?

he couldn't figure it out, because he felt that there was nothing to gain from him. so he asked chen geng why he was so kind to him?

chen geng told him that our army treated not only him but every prisoner the same way.

chen geng's answer made qiu xingxiang's persistence disappear completely. he no longer resisted reform and actively studied marxism.

when our army liberated xushui and baoding, qiu xingxiang drew the terrain and firepower points of the two places according to his memory.

in 1949, qiu xingxiang and others were sent to gongdelin, where he was also one of the best performers.

in gongdelin, qiu xingxiang also saw an unexpected person - du yuming.

turn over a new leaf and become a citizen of the country

when du yuming first came to gongdelin, he was injured and sick, so qiu xingxiang was responsible for taking care of him. when du yuming was in a bad mood, qiu xingxiang counseled him and told him about our army's policy of preferential treatment for prisoners.

du yuming was not active in his reform, and qiu xingxiang also advised him not to go against our party. although he was determined to break away from the kuomintang, in qiu xingxiang's heart, du yuming was still his original superior.

no matter what, he had to persuade du yuming not to be stubborn.

because of qiu xingxiang's outstanding performance, he also became the person in charge of fire safety in gongdelin. qiu xingxiang is serious and responsible in his work and actively reforms his thoughts. he is a true advanced member of gongdelin.

many of the former high-ranking officials of the kuomintang were not as open-minded as qiu xingxiang, and they even mocked qiu xingxiang.

however, qiu xingxiang generally ignores these taunts. after all, before the results come out, no one can say whether their behavior is right or wrong.

qiu xingxiang believes that everything he has done is just following his heart.

after the korean war began, people in gongdelin had different thoughts. many people who seemed to be good people began to believe that the us military would attack the mainland.

they felt that chiang kai-shek was capable of fighting back, and began to imagine a better life in which chiang kai-shek came back to save them and then defeated our party.

huang wei even said: "i want to build a prison better than gongdelin in the future to repay their kindness."

faced with such a situation, qiu xingxiang did not do the same as them. he wrote a letter to the management of gongdelin, hoping that he could go to the battlefield.

qiu xingxiang's letter touched our party deeply, and proved that our party's transformation was not without effect. although our party did not let qiu xingxiang go to the battlefield, it also praised his positive and progressive ideas.

on the tenth anniversary of the founding of new china, chairman mao decided to release a group of war criminals. qiu xingxiang thought that he was definitely not among them.

because in the later period, many people's thoughts changed and everyone was very active. in contrast, qiu xingxiang, who was active in the early period, was buried in the crowd.

so when he heard his own name, qiu xingxiang was completely confused.

after getting his own household registration book, qiu xingxiang was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. he finally became a citizen.

soon after they were pardoned, premier zhou met with them. looking at his former students, premier zhou's eyes were red: "it's my fault. i didn't care about you and help you enough, so you went the wrong way."

hearing premier zhou's words, qiu xingxiang felt very upset. he knew that they could not blame anyone else but themselves.

everyone was talking happily, and premier zhou suddenly asked what they wanted to do in the future. some said they wanted to be carpenters, some said they wanted to be tailors, and qiu xingxiang said he wanted to be a porter.

premier zhou shook his head and told them that the country had arranged a job for them, as a cultural and historical specialist in the government. this position had been added to the cppccs of all provinces and cities across the country.

they can live in any city they want, as they are all state officials.

when these battle-hardened soldiers heard that our party had arranged jobs for them, their eyes were filled with tears.
