The Yao family is a famous family. His fifth brother, Yao Guozhen, served as Minister of Communications, Inspector of the State Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco, and President of Beijing Jiaotong University during the Beiyang Government. Yao Zhen, the sixth brother, got closer to Duan's executive government ―― Yao Zhen climbed up after studying at Waseda University, and was finally appointed as Duan's executive government secretary-general and procurator-general. Yao Zhen died on 1935, and Duan was sent to elegiac couplet with tears in his eyes.

Yao Jiexun died young 19 17. Because he has been living in the south, he is not in close contact with the extended family. However, after 1936, Yao Guozhen's Yao Mansion gradually became a frequent visitor, that is, Yao Yilin (Yao Keguang), who was already the secretary of Tianjin Municipal Committee at that time, was only 19 years old. The extended family is a good cover for Yao Keguang's revolutionary activities. He also preached revolution to his cousins. In the feudal family, he was like a spark of revolution, which ignited the ignorant and naive hearts of his siblings. Cousin Jin Yao finally took part in the revolution, and the other two younger brothers, Yin Ke and You Ke, one became the secretary of the underground party branch in yenching university and the other went to Yan 'an. After the founding of New China, he served as Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force of the People's Liberation Army of China, 196 1 was promoted to the rank of Major General.
