After the founding of New China, China began to promote the ranks of those who made outstanding contributions during their stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Among them, the top ten founding marshals in China were the most striking, who played an important role in the establishment of China in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression era. 1955, the army, navy and air force of China People's Liberation Army implemented the rank system for the first time, resulting in 1048 founding generals. Among them, there are 10 founding marshals and generals, 55 founding generals, 75 lieutenant generals/kloc-0 and 798 major generals. After ups and downs, these former founding generals have basically passed away, and now only four founding generals are alive. The four surviving generals are Zou Yan, Zhan Danan, Yang and Li Guang.

Zou Yan, an Anhui native, joined the revolution at the age of 15. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, he followed the command of Luo Ronghuan and Li Fuchun and participated in large and small battles. After the founding of New China, Zou Yan himself served as deputy director and deputy political commissar of the Political Department of shenyang military area command after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he is still alive at the age of 104. When he was young, Zou Yan served as the commander of the Nanjing Military Region, and later contributed to the liberation of New China. It can be said that he was a witness and pioneer of the China Revolution. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he took the lead in losing ground to the enemy and was awarded the International Medal.

Zhan Danan, who took part in the Long March of the Red Army very early, was born in poverty and hoped to fight bravely with the troops very early. He used to be the commander of the northwest, and he is 10 1 year old this year. Zhan Danan has never dared to take credit and always told his family not to bother to organize.

General Yang, born in 19 14, happens to be 100 Swiss francs this year. He was a clerk in the army at that time, so he never left the organization from the beginning. He used to be the director of the armored forces political department of the North China Military Region and the deputy political commissar and political commissar of the Engineering Corps of the Beijing Military Region.

General Li Guang is 105 years old. He once participated in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and killed and besieged the enemy heroically many times during the Anti-Japanese War. 1925 Participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and served as the division commander of Chinese people's Volunteer Army. After returning to China, he served as deputy commander and division commander of artillery, deputy director and director of engineering corps of Nanjing Military Region, and military command consultant.

Among these marshals, General Li Guang is the oldest. These four old generals have never forgotten that they are * * * people, and their heroic deeds will always be remembered by us.
