格平同志是我所崇敬的优秀的民族工作领导者之一。我和格平同志相识于1946年,但早在我青少年时代,他就是津南地区贫苦回汉群众中广为传颂的“红毛子”,是我心目中崇拜的一位英雄人物,新中国成立后,我和格平同志又有过几次工作接触,虽然时间不长,但他对党的忠心耿耿,对真理的执着追求,对民族工作的倾心关注,对同志的慈祥亲切,每一次都给我留下了难以忘怀的印象。今年三月,惊闻格平同志逝世的噩耗,深感悲痛,痛惜我党又失去了一位优秀的民族工作领导者。他虽然离我们而去,但他的生平事迹,却给我们留下了深刻的印象。回顾格平同志的一生,是不平凡的一 Comrade Ge Ping is one of the outstanding leaders of ethnic work whom I admire. I met Comrade Geping in 1946, but as early as in my youth, he was the “Red-haired Son” widely praised by the poor and the Hui people in Jinnan. It was a hero who I admired in my heart. After the founding of New China I have had several contacts with Comrade Geping. Although not long ago, his dedication to the party, its persistent pursuit of truth, its devotion to national work and his kindness to the comrades gave each and every time I left an unforgettable impression. In March this year, we were deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing of Comrade Geppeng. We regretted that our party has lost one outstanding leader of ethnic work. Although he left us, but his life story, but left us a deep impression. It is an extraordinary review of Ge Ping’s life
