Tip: The children of General Yang Hucheng have a common feature: no matter what post they are in, they work conscientiously, always spare no effort to complete the tasks entrusted to them by the organization, and never use the famous generals as the cost to reach out to the organization. Therefore, it is called "Yang Jiajian" by some netizens. Today we focus on Yang Zhengmin and his youngest sister Yang Zhenglu.
After the Xi'an Incident, Yang Hucheng was retaliated against, first stripped of his military power and then imprisoned for 12 years.
On September 6, 1949, on the eve of the nationalist army abandoning Chongqing, Mao Renfeng received instructions, and under his direct orders, Yang Hucheng, his young son Yang Zhengzhong, his young daughter Yang Zhenggui, his secretary Song Qiyun and his wife Xu Linxia, and their youngest son "Little Turnip Head" Song Zhenzhong, a total of 8 people, were stabbed to death with daggers by Yang Jinxing, Xiong Xiang, Wang Shaoshan, Lin Yongchang and other four military special agents at the Dai Gong Ancestral Hall in Chongqing, and destroyed the bodies with salt and stirrup water.
General Yang Hucheng had 4 sons and 6 daughters, namely the eldest son Yang Zhengmin, the second son Yang Zhengzhong, the third son Yang Zhengya, the youngest son Yang Zhengren, the eldest daughter Yang Zhengkun, the second daughter Yang Zhengmei, the third daughter Yang Zhengying, the fourth daughter Yang Zhenghan, the fifth daughter Yang Zhenglu, and the daughter Yang Zhengguo (also known as Yang Zhenggui).
Yang Zhengzhong is the son of Yang Hucheng and Xie Dezhen, the third among siblings. In the days of the Xi'an Incident, he was locked up at home and forbidden to go out, and then lived the life of a juvenile prisoner with his parents. He and his parents welcomed the birth of his younger sister Yang Zhenggui, and when his sister grew up, he often took his sister to play in the mountains near the cell, and while caring and caring for his sister as an older brother, he also found the childlike fun that had been lost for many years from his sister. However, he did not expect that he would eventually die with his sister. He was only 19 years old when he died, and his sister was only 8 years old. His sister was choked to death by the agent's neck with both hands, and his hands were still tightly holding his mother's urn, and when the agent's dagger stabbed into his body, he instinctively shouted: "Dad! "Then it fell.
Except for the murdered Yang Zhengzhong and Yang Zhenggui, Yang Zhengya and Yang Zhengren, who died in their early years, Yang Hucheng's other children later devoted themselves to their posts and made achievements.
Yang Zhengmin, 1922-1998, the eldest son of General Yang Hucheng. In 1934, he studied at the Yaoshan Middle School founded by his father, and in 1938, he entered the Yan'an "Kang Da" and the Marxist-Leninist College to study, and after the founding of New China, he became the first generation of heroes of the new Chinese petroleum industry.
Yang Zhengkun, 1924-1994, also known as Zhou Pan, the eldest daughter of General Yang Hucheng, was born to a mother with her brother Yang Zhengmin. Her mother was Operland. In the early days of the founding of New China, he engaged in propaganda work, and later transferred to Fengtai District of Beijing Municipality and the Beijing Municipal Government. Since the 1970s, he has worked in the tourism department and served as a member of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of the Beijing Branch of China International Travel Service, and the Secretary of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Beijing Municipal Tourism Bureau. He died in 1994. He died on December 31, 2012 at the age of 7
Yang Zhengmei, 1932-2018, was born in Pucheng, Shaanxi In 1932. After the founding of The People's Republic of China, he successively worked in the Gansu Provincial Economic Commission, the Gansu Provincial Bureau of Statistics, the Gansu Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Gansu Provincial Light Industry Department, the Lanzhou Plateau Institute of Atmosphere of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Gansu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and other units, and in November 1996, he was appointed as the director of the Ethnic, Religious and Triplet Liaison Committee of the Gansu Provincial CPPCC Committee. He left his post in December 2003 to recuperate. In 2018, he died in Xi'an due to illness at the age of 86.
Yang Zhengying, born in Xi'an in 1934, is the third child born to Yang Hucheng and his wife Xie Baozhen. Since his student days, he has been a party affairs and school management worker in xi'an's cultural and educational system. In 1981, he was transferred to the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference to engage in the research of literary and historical materials until his retirement. Edited and published "Remembering General Yang Hucheng", and together with his sister Yang Zhengmei, he wrote and published "Remembering His Mother Xie Baozhen", one of the initiators of the Xi'an Incident Research Association, and is a scholar of the history of broad tolerance.
Yang Zhenghan, like his elder brother Yang Zhengmin, has made his own contribution to the oil cause of the motherland. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1950, joined the military cadre school during the Period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, later worked in party and government organs, and in 1963 was transferred to the Economic Research Institute of the Xinjiang Petroleum Administration, where he and her husband Xie Hong worked in petroleum for a long time.
Yang Zhenglu, from 1936 to 1958, graduated from the Department of Petroleum Geology of Northwest University, and voluntarily came to Xinjiang to work after graduating from university. She served as the captain of the 117 team of the geological exploration team of the Xinjiang Petroleum Administration, and was the only female captain at that time. On September 25, 1958, when leading a team to conduct petroleum geological exploration in the Santang lake basin on the border between China and Mongolia in Xinjiang, he was hit by a cold current and died heroically, at the age of 22. When her body was found, she was found lying prone on a slope covered in ice and snow, her arms outstretched and her ten fingers deep in the dirt. In her arms, she carried a newly drawn geological map with her newly painted reliable colors for identifying geological conditions.
These children of General Yang Hucheng have a common feature: No matter what post they are in, they all work conscientiously, always spare no effort to complete the tasks entrusted to them by the organization, and never take the famous generals as the cost and reach out to the organization. Therefore, it is called "Yang Jiajian" by some netizens.
General Yang Hucheng had a total of 3 wives in his lifetime, the original wife Luo Peilan, the second wife Zhang Huilan, and the third wife Xie Baozhen. These ladies get along very well, especially Zhang Huilan, Luo Peilan, and Xie Baozhen, who are called sisters, regard their children as their own, and grow up one by one.
Ropperland has been accompanying the army and practicing with the troops, not only mastering the skills of riding horses, shooting and bandaging the wounded, but also organizing a family detachment, often braving the artillery fire to visit the front line to comfort the soldiers and boost morale. People called her "Hero of the Towel" and "Mulan in the Army". Zhang Huilan married into the Yang family around 1919, at this time, Luo Peilan was plagued by illness, and the two got along very harmoniously together. In 1922, under the meticulous care of Zhang Huilan and her mother-in-law, Luo Peilan gave birth to a son in the town of Tongdianfang in Gaoling County near Xi'an. This child is Yang Zhengmin.
After giving birth, Luo Peilan suffered from tuberculosis, in order to prevent infection, Yang Hucheng sent Yang Zhengmin to his hometown in Pucheng to be raised by Zhang Huilan, and bought a house for Luo Peilan in Dongli Fort, Sanyuan County, so that she could recover well. Two years later, Yang Zhengmin would call him "Daddy", and Yang Hucheng only met his son. Luo Peilan told Yang Hucheng that she and her son were able to be safe and secure thanks to the care of Huilan's sister. Two years later, Luo Peilan died, and on her deathbed, she took Zhang Huilan's hand and said, "Like us, the world says that we are love enemies, but we are sisters." When I die, my children will be handed over to you! ”
Yang Zhengmin, who lost his mother, is not alone, on the one hand, he has the support of his stepmother Zhang Huilan; on the other hand, he has more love from his father. His father, Yang Hucheng, saw that he was frail and sick, so he hired a national magician to teach him to practice national skills, and after a few years, his body became stronger day by day. His father also took him to the exercises every morning with the soldiers of the army, so that he became familiar with the life of the barracks at an early age. Because of his cleverness and cleverness, he was deeply liked by Zhang Xueliang.
It is said that once, Yang Zhengmin accompanied his father and General Zhang Xueliang to the military camp by car to inspect, Zhang Xueliang drove, Yang Hucheng sat next to Zhang Xueliang, and Yang Zhengmin sat in the middle of the two lieutenants in the back row. General Zhang Xueliang joked: "Little fellow, your style is not small!" The person in the car today counts you as the biggest 'official', I will make you a driver, and your father and my lieutenant will be your bodyguard! ”
This "style" said by General Zhang Xueliang is just a joke, but in the later growth experience, Yang Zhengmin has indeed become a man with style in his deeds and dedication.
In December 1936, during the Xi'an Incident, the Yang family was also in chaos, first of all, Yang Hucheng's mother was detained by the rebels in her hometown of Pucheng, and Yang Hucheng sent competent personnel to rescue her mother and escort her to Sanyuan County. After the Xi'an Incident was peacefully resolved, Yang Hucheng went to Sanyuan to visit his mother. When her mother saw Yang Hucheng, she said that Yang Hucheng's release of Chiang Kai-shek was "returning to the mountains through the tiger" and that he would certainly be "punished" in the future.
Listening to his mother say this, Yang Hucheng, who was under pressure from all sides, had a heart attack on the spot. Before that, Zhang Huilan had to take care of both her husband and her mother-in-law, and as a result, she ignored her own flesh and blood, Yang Zhengren, a child who was only 5 years old. At that time, the child had a fever, Zhang Huilan felt that the problem was not very big, and as a result, the child's condition became more and more serious, and when she sent the child to the hospital, the child had died prematurely.
At the time of the Xi'an Incident, Yang Hucheng's third wife, Xie Baozhen, accompanied Yang Zhengmin to see a doctor in Beiping. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 1928, Xie Baozhen held a wedding with Yang Hucheng, and after that, he devoted his main energy to supporting and helping Yang Hucheng's work, and did a lot of useful work. From 1929 to 1938, Yang Zhengmin was sent by his father to Xi'an, Tianjin, and Beiping to study. In 1935, he accidentally fell and fell into a concussion, which caused severe neurasthenia, and doctors suggested that he use travel to recover his health. In July of the same year, accompanied by a doctor, he set off for Japan. After returning, I studied in Beijing while seeking medical treatment.
Returning from Beiping to Xi'an, Yang Zhengmin and Xie Baozhen saw that Zhang Huilan could not bear the heavy blow of losing her child, and her spirit gradually became abnormal, while Yang Hucheng could not take Zhang Huilan to a large hospital in a foreign country for treatment due to restrictions on her movements, and could only resign herself to fate.
In May 1937, Yang Hucheng was forced to surrender his military power and go to Europe and the United States to investigate, and Xie Baozhen accompanied his 7-year-old son, Zhengzhong. Originally, Yang Hucheng planned to take Yang Zhengmin abroad with him, but on the night of his parting, Zhang Huilan was still in a state of insanity, sitting stupidly in a chair, and could not even say a word of farewell. Looking at her appearance, Yang Hucheng burst into tears and said to Yang Zhengmin, "The thing I am most sorry for is your mother Huilan... You have to take good care of your mother! ”
This incident made Yang Zhengmin very emotional later, even in his old age, he still often said: "If it were not for the illness of Huilan's mother, I would definitely go abroad with my father, be imprisoned, and be killed like my brother in Zhengzhong." Huilan's mother has the grace of nurturing me, and the grace of saving my life! Here, we seem to hear Yang Zhengmin's life logic - living, you can have everything, so the living must live gratefully, in order to talk about dedication and deeds.
After Zhang Huilan's condition improved, Yang Zhengmin was determined to pursue the light, went to Yan'an, entered the first team of the "Kang Da" Second Brigade, and became the fourth batch of students of kang da.
Later, after studying at the Yan'an Marxist-Leninist Academy, the Leninist Research Office, and the Russian Language Study Class, Yang Zhengmin joined the Communist Party of China in 1938. From May 1942 to September 1944, he successively served as deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the Mizhi County CPC Committee and secretary of the Yincheng Municipal Cpc Committee. From September 1944 to November 1946, he was the deputy commander of the Guanzhong Military Subdistrict and the Yanzhi Military Subdistrict of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. In 1947, he was appointed deputy commander of the Sixth Cavalry Division and deputy secretary of the party committee. In January 1948, he was appointed deputy commander of the Huanglong Military Subdistrict. In April 1949, he was appointed commander of the Dali Military Subdistrict and a member of the Standing Committee of the Prefectural Committee. At this time, Yang Zhengmin was less than 30 years old and had grown into a cadre at the level of a full division.
The bad news of Yang Hucheng's murder reached Xi'an, Yang Zhengmin went to "pick up the spirit", Zhang Huilan did not enter the water for several days, and then chose a cemetery for her husband outside Xi'an city on crutches. This is where today's General Yang Hucheng Martyrs Cemetery is located in Shuangzhu Village, Shendian Township, Chang'an District, south of Xi'an City.
After burying his father, in April 1950, Yang Zhengmin left Xi'an to take up a post at the Yumen Oil Mine. Because he has been engaged in military work for a long time, and he is also a general, coupled with a good education and a high level of education, Yang Zhengmin in the army has already had outstanding military talents. At that time, the Northwest Field Army prepared for the establishment of the air force and organized the selection of Yang Zhengmin as chief of staff, but he considered it again and again, and finally chose to go to Yumen.
Today's historical materials rarely touch on why Yang Zhengmin gave up the beautiful future of the army and chose to engage in petroleum work, and it is difficult for us to explain the reasons for this, but we can't help but think of the word "salvation" in Yang Zhengmin's name. The data shows that Yang Zhengmin, who is a primary school student, began to have a little understanding of the meaning of the word "salvation", but it was not very clear. Once, Yang Zhengmin asked his father what the meaning of the name he gave him? Yang Hucheng touched Yang Zhengmin's head and said that Dr. Sun Yat-sen had two famous sayings: "Saving the people of Salvation is in the midst of water and fire" and "Climbing China in the realm of wealth and strength."
The father also told Yang Zhengmin that he liked these two words very much, out of respect for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, but also in order to express his ardent hope for his son, so he intercepted the word "salvation" as his son's name. Perhaps, Yang Zhengmin felt that after the founding of New China, he was relatively more effective in devoting himself to the construction of the industrial economy than in the army, and he had the final choice to engage in petroleum work.
The mood at the time of farewell is indescribable. Before leaving, Yang Zhengmin came to Northwest University to meet his sister Yang Zhenglu, who was still studying in the Geology Department.
The experience of life made Yang Zhengmin a teenager and an old man, less than 30 years old, he was already full of flowers and hair at that time, and when he arrived, his sister recognized him: "This is not a big brother!" He gave his sister a fountain pen and asked her to be a useful person to society and make more contributions to the motherland in the future. Then, in the sound of his sister's blessings, he went all the way to the west and rushed to the desert Gobi.
Yumen Oilfield is located in the hinterland of the Gobi, under the Qilian Mountains, where the first oil well, the first oilfield and the first petrochemical base in New China were born. Here, allow us to make a brief introduction: In 1941, the Gansu Oil And Mineral Bureau was established. In the same year, Yumen Oilfield entered a period of large-scale development. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Yumen Oil Mine produced a total of 250,000 tons of crude oil, accounting for more than 90% of the country's crude oil production in the same period, making important contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance. On September 25, 1949, the Yumen oil mine was liberated. In the 10 years before liberation, the oil field produced a total of 520,000 tons of crude oil, accounting for more than 95% of the country's oil production at that time. After liberation, it was a national key oil mine and the largest oil mine at that time.
After Yang Zhengmin took office, he devoted himself to the restoration of oil mine production. After several years of efforts, by the end of 1957, the oil mine had developed from an annual output of more than 100,000 tons at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China to a large oil mine with an annual output of 1 million tons. At that time, there were 50,000 oil mine employees, plus 100,000 family members. Yang Zhengmin deservedly became the first generation of heroes in the new China's oil industry, and became a "fancy" person that General Zhang Xueliang joked with him at that time.
Yang Zhengmin served in the petroleum system as party secretary and director of the Yumen Petroleum and Mining Bureau, deputy director of the Northwest Petroleum Administration, and with him, his sister Yang Zhenglu. After graduating from university, Yang Zhenglu came to Xinjiang singing the song of youth and left his young life forever in the hot land of Xinjiang. Strong, optimistic, intelligent and capable, in the summer of 1958, yang Zhenglu led a geological team that completed a geological survey of 1,950 square kilometers in the karamay region of the eastern Junggar Basin, and planned to prepare for the wedding in September. However, after the mission, the Xinjiang Administration bureau issued a new exploration mission for the 117 team to explore the Santang Lake area.
In order to complete the task with quality and quantity, Yang Zhenglu postponed the wedding date and continued to work.
Santang Lake is located between the Altai Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains, north of Hami and south of the China-Mongolia border. The environment is harsh and the climate is changeable. September 25 of that year was the Mid-Autumn Festival of the lunar calendar, but Yang Zhenglu forgot about this important festival. In the morning, when she went out, it was still a good weather with clear skies, but at the end of the afternoon, there was suddenly heavy snow, and the temperature plummeted to more than -20 degrees Celsius. Thinly dressed, Yang Zhenglu groped forward in the ice and snow, fighting with the fierce wind... When the team found her the next day, her body was frozen and she had stopped breathing.
At this time, Yang Zhengmin left the oil field to take up a post in Shaanxi for just half a year, and the comrades reported the news of Yang Zhenglu's sacrifice to him and asked him what to do? Yang Zhengmin said that his sister especially likes the red willow in the Gobi Desert, and always hopes that she is as strong and beautiful as the red willow, "Please cremate her on the spot with red fir." Thus, in the desert Gobi there is a beautiful flame of red willow branches and the eternal stay of a beautiful girl.
In the early morning of October 23, 1998, Yang Zhengmin died in Beijing at the age of 76. After his death, he returned to his parents and deceased relatives, who were buried in the General Yang Hucheng Martyrs' Cemetery, and the ashes of his sister Yang Zhenglu were moved here in 1959.
At this time, perhaps few people could have imagined that the fountain pen that Yang Zhengmin gave to his sister that year knew that after Yang Zhenglu's sacrifice, he was posthumously regarded as "an excellent son of the party, an excellent representative of intellectuals, and a strong and indomitable model communist party member." And an oily geological structure in the Santang Lake Basin surveyed by Yang Zhenglu was named "Zhenglu Anticline".
On November 28, 2008, in the Tuha Santang Lake Basin where the martyr Yang Zhenglu was martyred, Tuha Oilfield Company held a grand inauguration ceremony for the bronze statue of the martyr Yang Zhenglu at the Santang Lake Oil Production Plant. The bronze statue is the working image of Yang Zhenglu striding high during field exploration, carrying a geological bag, holding a drawing and a geological hammer, reflecting the pure heart of this daughter of the general who pursues science and serves the motherland. The bronze statue faces the vast land of Santang Lake, and the eyes are resolute, implying that the future of Santang Lake is even better.
This is people's nostalgia for heroes, but also people's gratitude to heroes. And the Yang family brothers and sisters have also become people who are always worth learning because of their dedication and deeds.
