Features: A one-armed, one-legged general, he is a microcosm of the arduous struggles of the Chinese revolution and a typical example of the heroic sacrifices of the People's Liberation Army. Battling on the battlefield, his missing arm only added to his courage; trapped in a hail of arrows, he laughed at the crowd with his missing legs. Through amputation surgery, without anesthesia, he endured countless pains of the world; practicing skills, with limited limbs, he paid a hundred times the hardship of ordinary people. Yet, with a strong will despite his disability, he grew stronger with each setback; facing life and death with a smile, he remained indifferent to fame and disgrace! For the revolution, he risked his life nine times; for the people, he devoted himself to seeking happiness. Peng Shaohui (1906—1978) was from Xiangtan, Hunan.
Joining the Party Date: 1926
Cause of Injury: On March 21, 1933, during the battle at Pili Mountain, his left arm was hit by two bullets.
Amputation Details: His left arm was amputated.
Military Rank: Promoted to the rank of General in 1955. Peng Shaohui endured countless hardships in his search for Mao Zedong, mistakenly joined the Kuomintang army by chance, but still risked his life to hide something in his body. In 1926, the peasant movement swept across Hunan with great fervor, and Xiangtan County, adjacent to Changsha, was even more turbulent. Farmers organized peasant associations, peasant self-defense forces, and rural revolutionary governments.
