Milk tea, sweet but not greasy, this is the real experience of many friends who love to drink milk tea.
Listening to the songs of Taiwanese singer Rene Liu, there is this feeling of "sweet but not greasy", so fans simply call Rene Liu "milk tea".
Some people speculate that "milk tea" Liu Reuying must have grown up in a warm literary and artistic home, otherwise, it is difficult to understand where the elegance and intellectuality she exudes from the inside out come from.
In fact, "Milk Tea" grew up in a military family, and her father, uncle, and grandfather were all soldiers.
"Milk Tea" once recalled her grandfather like this:
"You ask him what his favorite song is?" He only knows "Serenade of Green Island"; you ask him what songs he will sing? Then he will definitely say that it is the "Whampoa Military Academy Song", and he can sing it out of his mouth, word for word. ”
Speaking of this, everyone should have guessed that the grandfather of "Milk Tea" must be related to the Whampoa Military Academy.
The name of the Whampoa Military Academy is thunderous, and Liu Yongyao, the grandfather of "Milk Tea", is a first-term student of Huangpu who has produced a large number of generals.
Most people don't know the name Liu Yongyao, but they know some of his classmates in the first phase of Huangpu, such as Marshal Xu Qianqian, General Chen Geng, General Zuo Quan, General Hu Zongnan, and so on.
In August 1924, Liu Yongyao was admitted to the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and unlike other students, "a hero from ancient times to a teenager", he had just turned 15 years old that year, and he was the youngest among the students of the same period.
Liu Yongyao falsely reported that he was two years old before he "passed the customs in confusion" and entered Huangpu.
Although young, Liu Yongyao was not ambiguous about fighting, after graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Liu Yongyao participated in two crusades, and at the age of 16, he became a death captain and was soon promoted to battalion commander for his merits.
Liu Yongyao then went to Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow for further studies, where he and General Zuo Quan became classmates again.
General Liu Yongyao was a well-known Confucian general in the Kuomintang army, and his ability in political propaganda and military school education was obvious to all and attracted much attention.
Therefore, after Dai Kasa presided over the military unification, he "dug" General Liu Yongyao to the Military Unification and Political Training Office and became one of The Capable Generals under Dai Kasa.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, General Liu Yongyao became the "best substitute team member", where there was a shortage of people, he went to fill the vacancies, the commander of the combat unit, the president of the rear military academy, the director of the armaments factory, the professor of Hunan University, and also served as the director of Chiang Kai-shek's attendant office.
In June 1945, Liu Yongyao was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in the Kuomintang Army.
In 1949, the civil war was in full swing and the defeat of the Kuomintang was decided.
At the end of the year, General Liu Yongyao boarded a plane from Chengdu Airport, and before leaving the mainland, he had just spoken to his youngest son, Liu Weiwu, and hoped that he would go to Taiwan with him.
However, Liu Weiwu refused, leaving no room for negotiation.
In desperation, General Liu Yongyao left a long list of personal names for his younger son: "Zhou Gong of the CCP, he will remember me; many people in the upper echelons of the CCP are my classmates who stayed in the Soviet Union; and General Xu Xiangqian and General Chen Geng, they are all my classmates in Huangpu..."
General Liu Yongyao told his son: "In the future, if you need them on the mainland, you can find them..."
On the other side of the Taiwan Strait, General Liu Yongyao's eldest son, Liu Weiwen, had already arrived in Kaohsiung earlier, and Liu Weiwen had moved to Taiwan with the Xiamen Naval Officer School.
Here to explain, this Liu Weiwen is Liu Reuying's father.
It was a long time before General Liu Yongyao heard the news of his younger son Liu Weiwu.
Half a month after the liberation of Guangzhou, Liu Weiwu joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army and was incorporated into the 132nd Division of the 44th Army of the 15th Corps of the Fourth Field Army.
Almost at the same time, Liu Weiwen, who was on the other side of the strait, also graduated from the Kuomintang Naval Officer School and joined the Kuomintang naval forces.
Two generations of three soldiers in one family, divided into two camps, were isolated by a strait for decades.
General Liu Yongyao has been a soldier all his life, and even if he retires, the smell of soldiers on his body has not been lost at all.
Even the way he hurt his granddaughter, General Liu Yongyao was unique.
Liu Ruoying remembers that when she was a child, she was beaten by the teacher because she did not have a good class, and when she returned home, she went to her grandfather to file a complaint.
Grandpa slapped the table and shouted, "It's still the other day, come on, bring my gun!" ”
Of course, if the granddaughter is made happy, the general's purpose will be achieved, and he will not move at all.
Love and love, General Liu Yongyao's discipline of his granddaughter will also be very strict, in life choices, social dating and other issues, Grandpa's "family rules" are like "military rules", "milk tea" never dared to violate.
"Confucian General" Grandfather is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and Liu Reuying has benefited greatly from childhood to adulthood.
"Milk Tea" mentioned more than once: "Grandpa was my first teacher..."
In his later years, General Liu Yongyao often asked his granddaughter to sing the "Whampoa Military Academy Song" to him, and while listening, he shed tears.
After the "milk tea" became famous, he often returned to the mainland of the motherland to perform, and every time before leaving, grandpa would nag her with these few words: "You can't go to the mainland just to make a name and profit, and the peace between the two sides of the strait depends on you young people, remember to do more good things." ”
The old man's hope for cross-strait peace and hope for China's reunification is overflowing with words.
On August 22, 1998, General Liu Yongyao died of illness in Taiwan at the age of 89.
General Liu Yongyao did not wait for the day of China's reunification, but hoped that this day would come sooner, so that the veterans who had left their hometowns and wandered to a foreign land would have no regrets.
