China's modern history is a period full of humiliation, which was not only carved up by foreign powers, but also weak in the late Qing Dynasty. Therefore, a large number of patriotic youths with faith have emerged in our country, who have contributed to the prosperity of China.
Ye Shuai is a member of this "team". As the founding father of our country, he joined China on 1927 and fought side by side with our party. He participated in the Xi Incident that changed China's fate and made outstanding contributions in the eight-year anti-Japanese war. Later, during the War of Liberation in China, he served as the president of North China Military and Political University, the chief of staff of the No.1 18 Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the chief of staff of the China People's Liberation Army, the director of the Beiping Military Control Committee, and the mayor of Beiping.
With the fall of the top ten marshals, the important founding fathers of our country left us forever. However, history will not forget these heroes who made great contributions to the establishment of our new China. When these heroes struggle in the front line, their families are willing to turn into branches and leaves, guarding their "small home."
Ye Shuai's wife Li Gang is one of them. It is worth mentioning that she is also the only surviving wife of the founding marshal and is now 94 years old.
First, I met and fell in love because of the revolution.
Mrs. Li Gang was born in an official family in Lianyuan, Hunan. Thanks to the blessing of her ancestors, her family is quite rich. Her grandfather Li was a famous soldier in Zeng Guofan's Xiang army. In the movement to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Li repeatedly made meritorious military service and was appreciated by Zeng Guofan.
However, the good times did not last long. In the 1858 Sanjiangyuan Campaign, Li was besieged by the enemy and eventually died. When Zeng Guofan heard this news, he even thought that he had lost his right-hand man. He also reported to Emperor Xianfeng and gave him an imperial edict: "Give a shirt according to the example of the governor's death."
Therefore, relying on the ancestors' contacts and savings, coupled with the hard work of two generations, the family is also a big family in the local area. The superior family environment also made Mrs. Li Gang read a lot of poetry books when she was young and admitted to the famous Changsha Guangya Middle School. Here, Mrs. Li Gang really came into contact with many new ideas and had a deep understanding of the beginning of the revolution.
But for Mrs. Li Gang, because she admired these revolutionary ancestors very much when she was young, she also had unusual feelings for them. After meeting Ye Shuai, the huge age gap did not stop her, and finally she came together with Ye Shuai. Maybe she also imagined that she could spend her life with Ye Shuai.
Li Gang, like Li Pu, is very literary. Li Gang 18 years old, Japan was defeated, and Li Pu recommended her sister to the Eighth Route Army.
In 34 years of the Republic of China, Mrs. Li Gang took part in the revolution and worked in Chongqing Xinhua Daily from the beginning. In 37 years of the Republic of China, she was transferred to Beiping Military Management Institute as a clerk. In the same year, the newly single also came to Beiping to make peace with General Fu and establish North China Military and Political University. It was here that they began to contact and fall in love.
In the same year, in 37 years of the Republic of China, Ye Shuai married Mrs. Li Gang, which no one expected. Finally, Ye Shuai and this girl who is 30 years younger than him came together. You know, when Li Gang was born, Ye Shuaigang began to electrify against Jiang. It can be said that when Li Gang was born, Ye Shuai began to contribute to the revolution. This huge age gap was also opposed by many people, but Li Gang pushed his way through the crowd and finally got together with Ye Shuai. He and Ye Shuai have a son and a daughter.
Second, get married but go their separate ways.
Ye Shuai had many marriages before he met Li Gang, but after all, he was in troubled times, and his children's affair could not surpass the rise and fall of the country. Ye Shuai's marriage has been very unhappy!
But for Mrs. Li Gang, because she admired these revolutionary ancestors very much when she was young, she also had unusual feelings for them. After meeting Ye Shuai, the huge age gap did not stop her, and finally she came together with Ye Shuai. Maybe she also imagined that she could spend her life with Ye Shuai.
But fairy tales are always beautiful. Although Mrs. Li Gang and Ye Shuai got along well during the wedding, their romantic love will eventually be defeated by reality. 1955, it's a pity that they finally parted ways. But Mrs. Li Gang is very open-minded. She always thought: "Although the feelings between her and Ye Shuai were regrettable in the end, the memories were quite good." .
It is her open-minded and mindless attitude that is also the main reason for her longevity.
Third, children have a bright future.
Although Mrs. Li Gang and Ye Shuai parted ways in the end, their blood ties are always inseparable. With the gradual growth of children, family misfortune did not affect these two disappointing children. His son Ye Xuanlian took the post of General Staff of the People's Liberation Army and was also the chairman of two companies. His scenery is infinite for a while.
My daughter joined the business world and eventually married Yu Fangfang, the son of General Yu. Now, Yu Fangfang has become a major general and has nothing to do.
The story of Mrs. Li Gang's granddaughter Robynn Yip is very interesting. As the "second generation official" of Hong Miao, she embarked on the road of entertainment circle. Compared with Mrs. Li Gang, she thinks that the interference of the elders only adds to the trouble, and everyone's choice should be respected. Ye Xuanlian was also influenced by this way of thinking, and showed great respect for her daughter Robynn Yip's stepping into the entertainment circle, hoping that her daughter could make achievements in singing.
20 14, Robynn Yip is not responsible for the mission. On the Voice of China, he was widely praised by netizens for his song "Missing is a Disease" and became a celebrity in the new singing circle. Although her good singing skills are far from the first-line stars, her uncompromising and indifferent personality is deeply loved by people.
Conclusion:
Now Mrs. Li Gang lives alone in Beijing, planting flowers and grass every day, and her life is extremely comfortable. Her natural disappointment created a free and enlightened family style for future generations. It is this family style that makes her children thrive in a comfortable environment, and at the same time, they have made great achievements in all walks of life.
Perhaps Mrs. Li Gang's marriage is unfortunate, but her peaceful attitude has changed her life, and her rich experience makes her think that the so-called life needs personal experience to really know. Although she is 94 years old now, she is very young at heart. Even if her granddaughter is in the whirlpool of entertainment circle, Mrs. Li Gang is very supportive of this and even buys a poster of her granddaughter from time to time. This kind of enlightened family style education and personal carefree and free and easy, a generation of legendary women, is nothing more than this.
