我10歲那年春節

，父親對我說，你知道我們的新中國是怎麼建立起來的嗎？這真是一個絕對偉大的故事。當年北京、天津
、河北
、綏遠都是在傅作義將軍60萬大軍的手中。我父親1939年加入了傅作義的部隊。18歲做班長
，20歲做排長

，22歲做連長，25歲新中國就解放了。平津戰役的天津戰役，3萬多老百姓在大清河上自發地用大冰錘鑿開了冰麵，讓人民解放軍的物資船開了進去。得民心者才能得天下。陳長捷給傅作義打電話：“我已經聽到了人民解放軍的腳步聲進入到了我的作戰指揮部了。”傅作義說：“我們在天津守了這麼多年，為什麼就守不住

？我們要守住這座城市，不是我們想守就能守得住的，要老百姓讓你守，你才能守得住。”人民解放軍軍民共計犧牲了39000人，1949年1月15日解放天津。我的父親親眼看見了人民解放軍隻用了29個ge小xiao時shi迅xun速su攻gong陷xian了le天tian津jin。老lao蔣jiang的de特te務wu準zhun備bei在zai北bei平ping刺ci殺sha傅fu作zuo義yi的de女nv兒er。我wo黨dang派pai了le一yi位wei北bei大da的de女nv學xue生sheng去qu保bao護hu傅fu作zuo義yi的de女nv兒er傅fu冬dong菊ju

，3天就解放了南京。隨後曆時16天把上海拿下。1949年的天津
、北京
、南京和上海全線解放，大局已定。如果當年沒有傅作義的60萬部隊答應投誠，成功地把北平通過和平談判的方式解決，就不會有如今的新中國。1949年1月31日
，也是個新春
，北平和平解放了。從1921年建黨，28年我們共計犧牲了370萬先輩，我們的新中國是370萬條生命換來的新中國。我在從廣州飛往無錫的飛機上一邊寫一邊哭。我奔騰的眼淚流個不停。過去的北平就是今天的北京。2026年的春節又來了，這是我們新中國的第77年新年。新春快樂，平安喜樂。祝我們偉大的祖國繁榮昌盛，祝我們先輩們的後代平安幸福。感恩先輩

，祝福中國。

During the Spring Festival when I was 10 years old, my father said to me: “Do you know how our People's Republic of China was founded? It is truly a magnificent story.” At that time, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Suiyuan were all under the control of General FU Zuoyi’s 600,000 troops. My father joined FU Zuoyi’s army in 1939. He became a squad leader at 18, a platoon leader at 20, a company commander at 22, and the People’s Republic of China was founded when he was 25. During the Tianjin Campaign of the Pingjin Campaign, more than 30,000 local people spontaneously used large ice axes to break through the ice on the Daqing River, allowing supply vessels of the People’s Liberation Army of China (PLA) to pass through. Those who win the people’s hearts win the country. CHEN Changjie telephoned FU Zuoyi: “I can already hear the footsteps of the PLA entering my command headquarters.” FU Zuoyi replied: “We have defended Tianjin for so many years, and why can’t we hold it now? You cannot hold a city just because you want to. You can hold it only if the people allow you to. ” A total of 39,000 PLA soldiers and civilians lost their lives. Tianjin was liberated on January 15, 1949. My father witnessed with his own eyes that the PLA took over Tianjin in just 29 hours. CHIANG Kai-shek’s secret agents planned to assassinate FU Zuoyi’s daughter in Beiping. The Communist Party of China (CPC) sent a female student from Peking University to protect FU Dongju, Fu Zuoyi’s daughter. At that time, the entire clothing store was surrounded by agents. The young woman immediately exchanged coats with FU Dongju, resolutely got into FU Dongju’s car, and the CPC sent another car to protect her afterward. The CPC and the Chinese Kuomintang（KMT） fought fiercely, and most of our predecessors sacrificed their lives. After the liberation of Tianjin, HE Siyuan, Mayor of Beiping, actively promoted the peaceful liberation of Beiping. The secret agents planted a bomb in HE Siyuan’s home. His wife was French, and they had two sons and two daughters. That night, his youngest daughter was killed in the explosion, and all other family members were injured. HE Siyuan’s entire family was sent to the German Hospital for emergency treatment. HE Siyuan’s arm was wounded. At this time, Badger, Commander of the U.S. Western Pacific Fleet, personally came to negotiate with FU Zuoyi. The U.S. military offered to help the Tianjin defenders evacuate via Tanggu. The Americans wanted FU Zuoyi to replace CHIANG Kai-shek. FU Zuoyi flatly rejected Badger on the spot. CHIANG Kai-shek’s son, CHIANG Wei-kuo, even planned to kidnap FU Zuoyi. The Communist Party of China sent a total of three delegations to negotiate with SHEN Shichang, FU Zuoyi’s subordinate. The first two delegations were killed, and the third consisted of a father and daughter. The daughter had just returned from studying in Britain and the United States. She was only 25 years old. Her father was the one who introduced her to join the CPC. That day, the father and daughter were surrounded by more than a dozen agents at Qianmen Railway Station. The father was assassinated in the street. Before dying, TIAN Huaizhong said to the agents: “We will send a fourth delegation, and a fifth delegation.” His daughter was imprisoned, escaped from jail, survived the turbulent times with help of ordinary people, and finally survived. Last month, Kaokao and I went to Beijing for a meeting with my lawyer. That night, I took Kaokao to a special place. I told the driver that back then my father had served under FU Zuoyi and that we wanted to visit a certain place. The driver was very courteous and offered to help us so that we could pass by this place both ways. What you see as Beijing today was once Beiping. Because FU Zuoyi finally chose to negotiate a peaceful settlement with the CPC, Beiping was peacefully liberated, giving new life to 2 million civilians and 1.6 million troops on both sides. FU Zuoyi later became the first Minister of Ministry of Water Resources of the People’s Republic of China, serving in that role for 22 years. My father went to work at Sinohydro Engineering Bureau 8 Co., Ltd.. In 1950, Chairman MAO Zedong, directed my father’s troops to enter Tibet from Moscow. A force of 100,000 soldiers built the world-renowned Kang-Tibet Highway. Later, my father took part in many famous water conservancy projects after the foundation of the People's Republic of China. Tianjin was liberated, Beiping was liberated, and the PLA launched the Yangtze River Crossing Campaign. The million-strong army crosses the Yangtze River. Ordinary people rowed small boats to ferry the PLA across, and Nanjing was liberated in just three days. Shanghai was liberated in the next 16 days. In 1949, Tianjin, Beijing, Nanjing, and Shanghai were all liberated, and the overall situation was settled. If FU Zuoyi’s 600,000 troops had not agreed to surrender and peacefully resolve the Beiping issue through negotiations, there would be no People’s Republic of China today. Beiping was peacefully liberated on January 31, 1949. It was also a Spring Festival. From the founding of the CPC in 1921, over 28 years, a total of 3.7 million our predecessors sacrificed their lives. The People’s Republic of China was built with 3.7 million lives. I wrote down this while crying on the flight from Guangzhou to Wuxi. Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably. The old Beiping is today’s Beijing. The Chinese New Year of 2026 has arrived. This is the 77th Chinese New Year since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Happy Chinese New Year! I wish you peace and happiness. May our great motherland prosper, and may the descendants of our predecessors be safe and happy. Gratitude to our predecessors, blessings to China.
