Features: As a great historical figure, Mao Zedong's theories and practices form a complex and systematic whole composed of multiple aspects and stages. Within this whole, there is always embodied his decades of arduous pursuit, practice, and struggle alongside his colleagues and fellow revolutionaries. He Long, a general of the National Revolutionary Army with a background as an old soldier, joined Mao Zedong in this pursuit and exploration, becoming his close comrade-in-arms and one of the founders of the People's Liberation Army, an experienced proletariat revolutionary and an outstanding military strategist. He Long admired, followed, and remained loyal to Mao Zedong, while Mao Zedong respected, trusted, and continuously entrusted important tasks to He Long. The establishment of this close relationship, and its complementary role in practice, was not the result of shared personal sentiments or harmonious personalities, nor was it a natural or accidental combination. The close bond between Mao Zedong and He Long was an inevitable outcome of the development of the Chinese revolution. This inevitability was formed by their alignment with the course of history, where their personal ardent pursuits coincided with the overall trend of social development, creating a profound origin and connection.
