Character life

Childhood memories

Luo Dongjin was born in 1939 on the eve of the 115th division of the Eighth Route Army entering Shandong. Although his father, Luo Ronghuan, served as

115 Division

Political commissar, but Luo Dongjin didn't enjoy any special treatment because of his father's status. He and the children of his hometown share the same body shape - big head and stomach, thin arms and legs. Children over 4 years old don't have long hair, can't walk, and are typically malnourished. During the March and transfer of the army, Luo Dongjin, as a special member of the army, came by in a basket. The porter carries him on one end and the famous peach in Feicheng, Shandong on the other. When the child is hungry, he can take the peach from the basket.

At that time, Luo Dongjin saw white pancakes for the first time, but he was afraid to eat them. The best things children have ever eaten are red sorghum flour pancakes, and pancakes made of millet and Echinochloa crusgalli. Nearly 5-year-old children still don't recognize the snow-white color of white flour. Luo Dongjin met his father, whom he had not seen for many years. He timidly hid behind others and did not dare to recognize his father. He recognized his life and was also afraid of the long bearded man, Luo Ronghuan, who vowed not to wipe out the Japanese devils and not to shave. His hard beard hurt his son.

A large part of Luo Dongjin's childhood memory is related to his father's body: Luo Ronghuan's kidney had a problem at that time. Commander Chen Yi of the New Fourth Army sent an Austrian urologist Luo Sheng to diagnose and treat him. The diagnosis was that Luo Ronghuan's kidney might have something.

It was the time to attack Linyi. Only when Linyi was defeated could the Shandong Anti Japanese base be united. However, the doctor firmly refused to allow Luo Ronghuan to go to the front line. At that time, Shandong Anti Japanese base area was under unified leadership. Luo Ronghuan was also commander and political commissar of Shandong military region, political commissar and acting division commander of the 115th division, and Secretary of Shandong Branch of the Communist Party of China. Lin Yueqin, wife of Luo Ronghuan who loves her husband, can't stop him from rushing to the front line. She can only hint that the guard and the groom are hiding. Luo Ronghuan is angry. Luo Dongjin sees his parents quarrel for the first time.

Luo Dongjin went to the city for the first time in his life and saw the electric light. The guard raised the child to the light bulb and let Luo Dongjin, who had only seen the oil lamp, blow it out

Take the long march again

Luo Dongjin, with white hair, is the shortest of the children of the founding fathers of the Long March, but he is the convener of the whole team. No matter the long and thin Qin tie (son of Bogu), the stout Su Rongsheng (son of Su Yu), and even the local female officials who welcomed the procession along the road, they would call him "brother Dongjin".

On the way back to the Long March, in Guiyang and Chengdu, 67 year old Luo Dongjin faced our reporter twice in the middle of the night after the day's hard work and continuous activities. While taking medicine, he talked about the long march and his parents, until his son-in-law rushed into the room and stopped asking questions in a non-negotiable tone.

Memories of my parents

In the 1950s, the relevant departments built four houses in Minxiang, the eastern suburb of Beijing, and gave Deng Xiaoping one. Deng Xiaoping said: "I will not live, let Luo Shuai live!" When Luo Ronghuan refused to go, Deng Xiaoping asked him to move in within a time limit. Deng and Luo have deep friendship and know each other very well. Deng Xiaoping once said, "we talk about everything."

The friendship between Deng and Luo was forged during the long march. During the Long March, from crossing the grassland to finally arriving at Wuqi Town, they were always together, one by one, often walking side by side. At that time, every day was marching. Luo Ronghuan didn't like to talk, while Deng Xiaoping talked a lot and often talked and laughed. Deng Xiaoping and his comrades often "brag" together. What do they brag about? It means what's delicious. Luo Ronghuan is from Hunan and Deng Xiaoping is from Sichuan. Both of them love to eat hot pepper. When they talk about hot pepper, they are interested in it. One said Sichuan's is good, and the other said Hunan's is good. Anyway, there is no food, only "spiritual dinner". The long march was a difficult one, with blood sacrifice, hardship and hunger, but everyone was optimistic.

"Among the ten marshals, my father is the one with the least revolutionary qualifications. My father didn't think of revolution when he was young. What he wanted to do was to be a civil engineer. At that time, as soon as his father came out of the countryside, he saw that foreign countries were all high-rise buildings, and so was Shanghai. He thought that building might find a way out for the country. "

In 1924, Luo Ronghuan was admitted to private Qingdao University to study civil engineering. The next year, Luo Ronghuan participated in the Anti Japanese student movement in Qingdao and was elected as the head of the student autonomy Association, which was blacklisted by the local government. In order to protect them, the underground party arranged for them to go south. Luo Ronghuan had a chance to go to Huangpu Military Academy, but he missed it.

"My father didn't realize the importance of military struggle at that time. He was short-sighted. He thought that he was not the material for being a soldier, but wanted to learn civil engineering. So he didn't want to apply for the Huangpu Military Academy. Instead, he introduced my sixth uncle Luo Xiang to the military Academy. He himself continued to apply for Sun Yat sen University, but because he wanted to take the German test, he had to go back to his hometown in Hunan

In 1927, Luo Ronghuan passed the make-up examination and entered the national Wuchang Sun Yat sen University, where he studied civil engineering. Three months after entering the school, Luo Ronghuan was sent to Tongcheng, Hubei Province as a grass-roots cadre of the agricultural movement. Soon after, he organized the Autumn Harvest Uprising in Tongcheng and formed a peasant self-defense army. Luo Ronghuan served as the party representative. The scholar didn't expect that he would join the army after all, and that he would work in the army all his life.

At that time, autumn harvest uprisings were carried out in many parts of Hubei Province, but most of them failed. Luo Ronghuan's team came out and joined a company of Wuhan Guard Corps. Luo Ronghuan took the team to Xiushui and took part in the Autumn Harvest Uprising in Hunan and Jiangxi led by Mao Zedong, which made him the first marshal to get to know Mao Zedong.

"During the Tongcheng uprising, my father was naive and didn't know anything about armed struggle. At that time, when local tyrants used silver as army funds, he needed an accountant. When you saw that my father was a college student, you recommended him to take charge of Finance and keep a box containing two or three hundred dollars and account books. Two people always came to ask for help with the suitcase. At first, he didn't give it. Later, when he was really tired, he gave it to them. As a result, when the enemy came, they ran to a place to gather and found that the two people and the money box were missing. He was so regretful that he realized that not all revolutionaries were in the revolutionary ranks. He said, "we are all talented and rebellious. We can't get rid of nerds."

28 years later, Luo Ronghuan became marshal. This bookish student, however, will gain a firm foothold in the army which is mainly composed of peasants and confusions, and will be able to engage in political work with ease.

In September 1927, Mao Zedong proposed that "the branch should be built on the company" in order to strengthen the leadership of the Communist Party over the army. Luo Ronghuan became one of the first representatives of the seven companies. Seven months later, "Zhu Mao joined forces" and the Fourth Red Army was established. Luo Ronghuan became the party representative of the Third Battalion of the 31st regiment. He performed well in leading the Third Battalion expedition to southern Hunan and was praised by Mao Zedong.

"In August 1928, Mao Zedong personally led the three battalions down the mountain to meet Zhu De in southern Hunan. One night, they were suddenly attacked by the enemy and the troops were scattered. When they assembled at dawn, they found that only one stretcher soldier had been lost. In late September, the team returned to Jinggangshan and found that the stretcher soldier had come back first. At that time, there were quite a lot of desertions in the troops, even half of them would be lost after a battle. However, the Third Battalion went on an expedition to southern Hunan for hundreds of miles and fought more than ten battles, but they didn't
