In the revolutionary years, many heroes emerged in our country, who actively signed up to join the army and made unremitting efforts to build a new China. Although these women cannot charge like hot-blooded men, they are brilliant in logistics and other areas, and they are equally admirable and admirable. The Xiang Huifang we want to talk about today is such a female Haojie.
Xiang Huifang, born in 1918, is a native of Wanxian County, Hebei Province. Coming from a revolutionary family, she was diligent and studious from an early age, and when she grew up, she was successfully admitted to a normal school. Soon, the Japanese army launched a war of aggression against China, and Xiang Huifang, like most of the students, took to the streets to carry out anti-Japanese propaganda and fundraising, and actively participated in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement. In October 1937, Xiang Huifang took off his student clothes and resolutely came to the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region to join the Eighth Route Army, thus beginning his revolutionary career.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Xiang Huifang braved difficulties, was determined, actively engaged in women's work, and made great contributions to the revolutionary cause. In that year of gunfire, Xiang Huifang also gained his own love and married Huang Yongsheng. As everyone knows, Huang Yongsheng was an old revolutionary who came from the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and he was a famous general at that time. After that, Xiang Huifang followed Huang Yongsheng around in battle, and withstood the test of blood and fire. During the Liberation War, she traveled to the northeast and successively served as the vice principal of the School for the Children of Cadres of the Fifteenth Corps of the Four Fields, the vice principal of the School for the Children of Cadres of the Central and Southern Military Region, and other positions, and paid for the study and growth of the children of the army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiang Huifang was awarded the Order of Independence and Freedom of the Third Class and the Liberation Medal of the Third Class. Her husband, Huang Yongsheng, was even more accomplished, and in 1955 he was awarded the rank of founding general and served as chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army. But regrettably, the revolutionary couple did not come to the end, and their old age ended in divorce. One of the important reasons was that Old General Huang liked to get into trouble, and as early as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he fought with the daughter of a landlord, and was severely criticized by his superiors for this. After the Liberation War came to the northeast, the life style of General Huang Lao was still criticized by people. Now that he was more than half a hundred years old, Old General Huang still hadn't changed this problem, and Xiang Huifang was naturally unbearable.
After Xiang Huifang divorced General Huang Lao, the two had no contact and lived their own lives, but she was blessed by misfortune. As we all know, General Huang Lao took a detour in his later years, not only did he lose all his positions, but he was also sentenced to prison. Xiang Huifang did not collude with the same stream, did some useful work, and the two divorced, so they were not implicated.
Not only that, Xiang Huifang's later career was still very smooth, and the officials became bigger and bigger. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, she was only the principal of Guangzhou Bayi Middle School and the deputy director of the Office of the Headquarters of the Guangzhou Military Region, but in her later years she successively served as the director of the office of the General Staff Department of the Central Military Commission and the director of the office of the Military and Political University. After the elderly Xiang Huifang became seriously ill in his later years, many leaders called to offer condolences or visit. On March 6, 2003, Xiang Huifang died in Beijing at the age of 85.
