General Ye Ting was a famous general with great prestige. His life has been full of twists and turns, full of legend. During the war years, General Ye traveled everywhere for the people's liberation cause. For a long time, General Ip lived in Macau, China, and formed an indissoluble relationship with Macau.
According to Ye Ting's second daughter, Ye Jianmei. While in Macau, China, General Ip met Li Xiuwen. Later, after twists and turns, the two were happily married.
Li Xiuwen is from Wusha Village, Chang'an Town, Dongguan. Born in 1907 to a wealthy family in Macau, China. His father's name was Li Shaocun.
Li Shaocun, who had been an official in the Qing court, had a relatively wealthy family and was an enlightened gentleman. During the Great Revolution, he covered up the head of Zhou and Marshal Nie Rongzhen. Li Shaocun's family was rich, he settled in Macau, and Li Zhangda, who was the commander of the gendarmerie unit of the Grand Marshal's Office of Mr. Zhongshan, was a good friend of his fellow villagers in Dongguan. Li Zhangda joined the League in his early years. He participated in the Wuchang Uprising and later participated in the Campaign against Yuan. Later, he served as the head of Mr. Nakayama's guard regiment and joined the army in the Grand Marshal's Office. Li Zhangda had a good relationship with Ye Ting, who served as the commander of the second battalion of the Presidential Guard Regiment of Mr. Zhongshan.
Li Shaocun has two daughters, the eldest daughter is named Li Xiuying, and the second daughter is named Li Xiuwen.
Li Xiuwen has been smart and studious since childhood. When she grew up, she was dignified and beautiful, personable, and educated. The dark hair is matched with a white and handsome face, beautiful eyes, and a vein of unforgettable water show between the eyebrows. When Li Xiuwen was 16 years old, he went to Zhixin Girls' High School. Zhixin Middle School has a prominent reputation and is a key middle school.
While Li Xiuwen was studying at Zhixin Middle School, one day, she met General Ye Ting. At that time, General Ye was a battalion commander in Mr. Zhongshan's guard regiment. He was 27 years old.
As soon as he saw Li Xiuwen, General Ye immediately fell in love with her, and after pursuing, Li Xiuwen also fell in love with this handsome young officer.
After much deliberation, General Ye proposed to Li Xiuwen. Li Xiuwen was full of joy, she had already made a promise to General Ye, but she offered to consult her parents before making a final decision.
However, when Li Xiuwen proposed to his family to marry General Ye, Li Shaocun, who was rich and deeply involved, replied: "If he wants to marry my daughter, he must be the regimental commander." ”
After that, Li Shaocun also said to Li Zhangda, the "matchmaker": "My family Xiuwen is going to school, and I am not in a hurry to talk about this matter now." Ye Ting should also do a good job, and when he becomes the leader of the regiment, he will discuss marriage! If he has a successful career, I can match the little girl. ”
Li Xiuwen told Ye Ting the original version of his father's words. General Ye said affectionately: "In this life, Ye Mou will not propose to the second person!" ”
Later, with the consent of Mr. Nakayama and the help of Liao Zhongkai, General Ye went to the Soviet Union to study.
In August 1925, General Ye was ordered to return to China. Soon after, he became the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Fourth Army of the Kuomintang Revolutionary Army.
Li Shaocun saw that General Ye was indeed young, promising, and talented. Therefore, he fulfilled his promise and let Fang Ling's 18-year-old daughter go to Zhaoqing, the garrison of the Independent Regiment, and marry General Ye. And gave her daughter a very generous dowry.
The wedding of General Ye and Li Xiuwen was held in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, where the Independent Regiment was stationed. Chief Zhou is the main marriage.
During the wedding, Chiang Kai-shek took Chen Cheng into the hall and made a speech.
Chiang Kai-shek said in the applause: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Ye Ting and Li Xiuwen on their happy new marriage!" Secondly, I would like to say that the Northern Expedition will begin, the Independent Regiment will also participate, and may also fight in the vanguard. Congratulations to Commander Ye for winning many battles in the Northern Expedition and for his national merits. ”
Soon after his marriage, General Ye led his troops to participate in the Northern Expedition.
General Ye was brave and good at fighting in the Northern Expedition War, and as a pioneer, he was victorious in battle, attacked Bike, and made great military achievements.
After the outbreak of the National War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Ye paid keen attention to the cause of the Anti-Japanese Resistance.
After the beginning of the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, the Red Army and guerrillas in thirteen areas of the eight southern provinces were reorganized into the newly organized Fourth Army. Chiang Kai-shek appointed General Ye as commander of the newly organized Fourth Army.
After General Ye arrived in Yan'an to prepare for the preparation of the New Fourth Army, the chairman presided over a welcome meeting for him. He is said to be a famous general during the revolutionary war of the Northern Expedition. In February 1938, Ye Ting was officially appointed as the commander of the New Fourth Army.
Ye Ting was appointed commander of the New Fourth Army. Li Xiuwen was happy for her husband. In order to support Ye Ting's New Fourth Army, she took out her parents' pension from her family, sold her jewelry, and bought 3600 guns for the New Fourth Army. Supplied to the New Fourth Army to resist Japan.
Unexpectedly, when 3,600 guns were transported through Shangrao, they were unreasonably detained by Gu Zhutong, commander of the Kuomintang Third Theater.
Li Xiuwen had to hurry up and send a telegram to inform Ye Ting.
Ye Ting was annoyed after receiving the telegram. Go straight to Shangrao. The car drove directly to the door of the Third Theater Command.
Ye Ting got out of the car, walked into Gu Zhutong's office, and argued according to reason: "Gu Zhutong, what do you want to do!" How many battles have you fought with the Japanese? How much contribution did the New Fourth Army fight day and night against the Japanese. How many guns have you given to the New Fourth Army? How many bullets? What do you mean? ”
Gu Zhutong panicked and even said that he had misunderstood. After that, Ye Ting and his wife Li Xiuwen returned to the Southern Anhui Army with 3600 guns.
During the three-year anti-Japanese struggle in southern Anhui, Commander Ye often led his army to attack the Japanese army. Li Xiuwen lived a difficult and turbulent life in the military.
Later, the Anhui Incident occurred, and Commander Ye was unjustifiably detained by Chiang Kai-shek for a long time.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in March 1946, Li Xiuwen learned that her husband had been released, and immediately rushed to Chongqing with her children to meet Ye.
On April 8, 1946, Li Xiuwen, Ye Ting, his daughter YangMei, and his youngest son, Ah Jiu, flew from Chongqing to Yan'an together.
Unexpectedly, the plane crashed into the Black Tea Mountain at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters southeast of Xingxian County, 80 miles southeast of Xingxian County. All the crew were killed...
At the time of the death, Li Xiuwen was 39 years old, Ye Ting was 50 years old, Yang Mei was 11 years old, and Ah Jiu was only 3 years old.
