He Long's father is of Tujia and Bai descent, his great-grandfather He Tingzai is Tujia, and his great-grandmother, grandmother and mother are all Bai. So more than half of He Long is of Bai descent. According to the national policies on ethnic determination, the ethnic groups in He Long can be counted as Bai with their mother Wang Jingu. When He Long died, the Bai people in Hunan had not been recognized by the state, and He Long certainly didn't know that he was a minority.
Looking up the Family Tree of He, it is found that He Long and his family are closely related to the Bai nationality. He Long's biological mother, Wang Jingu, was born in Wang Jiahe Village, Chayuanba, Wudaoshui Town, Sangzhi County in the second year of Qing Tongzhi (1962 was later classified as Maoba Township, Hefeng County, Hubei Province). There are wang xing, Zhen and Gu in the village, all of whom are Bai. She/kloc-married Hongjiaguan at the age of 0/8, worked hard in farming and weaving, and had five daughters and two sons with He Shidao. 19 15 died at the age of 52. In the past, Sangzhi Bai people banned "intermarriage with the same surname" and advocated that "cousins are superior to relatives". There are many in-laws with the same surname as Bai people, such as Gu, Wang, Zhong, Xiong and Li. Especially with Gu Jia, they are all relatives. He Long's aunt He Conggu married Gu Xinzhai (Bai), her elder sister He Ying married Gu Jiting (Bai), her second sister married Gu Zhongxin (Bai) and her third sister married Gu Qingyun (Bai). According to "He Family Tree", He Long's grandfather, great-grandfather and other members of the He family all married into the ancient Bai family. A large number of written accounts and word-of-mouth materials show that Sangzhi and his family have always been closely related to other local Bai families. According to the spirit of "Notice on Restoring or Correcting the Principle of Ethnic Composition" issued by the State Council Census Leading Group, Ministry of Public Security and State Ethnic Affairs Commission1October 28th, He Long can and should completely restore the ethnic composition of its Bai people.
Chen Meilin, member of the Standing Committee of Zhangjiajie Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Propaganda, once secretary of Sangzhi County Committee, said: "He Long's biological mother Wang Jingu is Bai, and He Long's biological father Hu Shidao is of Bai descent. On the issue of implementing Mr. He's white identity, we have reported it to the Central Committee through the province. The Central Committee replied that Mr. He has been dead for many years and can no longer ask for his own wishes. It doesn't matter if he doesn't recover. "
