I have introduced many descendants of the founding generals before, such as Zhang Zongxun's son and Zhang Zhen's son, all of whom are high generals; Nie Shuai's daughter, the world's first female lieutenant general; and Liu Shuai's family, a four-major general...
In the comments, there are quite a few people spitting acid: the general's son is of course the general. This sentence is too sour to say. It is undeniable that these people's backgrounds are very good, but if your children can also have their kind of tutoring, that kind of talent, and that kind of hard-working spirit, they will also achieve great achievements.
Moreover, most of the founding generals were very incorruptible, very harsh on the education of their children, and they could achieve success by their own efforts, such as the granddaughter of Xu Shiyou, who is going to talk about today.
Before talking about Xu Shiyou's granddaughter, let's first look at his son.

Before joining the revolution, Xu Shiyou had married a daughter-in-law in his hometown and had a child named Xu Guang. Later, Xu Shiyou marched south to fight in the north and rarely returned home, so Xu Guang wandered around with his mother and suffered a lot.
It was not until 1949, when the overall situation of the country was decided, that Xu Guang was sent to Xu Shiyou, who was already a 20-year-old boy and could not read a single character. Xu Shiyou felt very guilty, so he sent him to the Dalian Naval Academy to learn cultural knowledge.
If you don't say that talented people are different, Xu Guang, who can't read a single character, has to spend 9 years of hard study, obtained a bachelor's degree, became the first batch of naval officers with a bachelor's degree in New China, and was appointed as the captain of the navy.

There is no doubt that with Xu Guang's talent, coupled with Xu Shiyou's cultivation, it will definitely become a rising star in the Navy, but at this time, a decision by Xu Shiyou has made Xu Guang's fate take a huge turn from then on.
In the TV series "Admiral Xu Shiyou", there is a detailed description of this paragraph, at that time, Xu Guang went to find his father with great interest, but was told: Your grandmother is old, no one to take care of it, you go back to take care of it.
It is conceivable how reluctant Xu Guang is, but Xu Shiyou is this temper, and no one can change the things he has decided. Xu Guang slammed the door and came out.
Judging from today's thinking, Xu Shiyou's approach is indeed very unpleasant, Xu Guang has his own future, why do you want you to decide his fate? But in those days, such practices were also very common, and young people did not have much autonomy.
In this way, Xu Guang returned to his hometown in Xinxian County, Henan Province with a lifetime of regrets, served as the deputy director of the county People's Armed Forces Department, and has never left his hometown since.
Please note that Xu Guang was already a regimental cadre as early as the Navy, but after returning to his hometown, until he was discharged, he was at the deputy regimental level, and several times he had the opportunity to be promoted, but he refused.
On January 6, 2013, Xu Guang died of illness at the age of 84 and was buried next to Xu Shiyou's tomb. I wonder what father and son will say when they meet?
When Li Desheng's son went to visit the grave, he said: "In China, it is difficult to have a father like Xu Shiyou, and it is difficult to have a son like Xu Guang. ”
Xu Guang has four children, named Xu Daokun, Xu Daolun, Xu Daojiang, and Xu Daohai, which were given to them by Xu Shiyou himself, which means as tall as "Kunlun" and as wide as "Jianghai".

Among them, Xu Daojiang is Xu Guang's eldest daughter and the most accomplished one, serving as the deputy director of the Health Department of the Logistics Department of the Second Artillery Corps, with the rank of colonel, and also admitted to the doctorate in military science.
As early as xu Daojiang's college entrance examination, he wanted his grandfather to move her hukou to Nanjing, because the Score in Nanjing was low, that is, the off-site college entrance examination that people are now competing for, but Xu Guang refused without thinking about it, saying that your grandfather would not agree.
Xu Daojiang did not give up, continued to pestering his father, Xu Guang had no choice, had to write a letter to Xu Shiyou, the result of Which Xu Shiyou wrote back: "Tell Mao Mao, just review locally, and you will not be able to go to the countryside to work like the children of the common people!" ”
In this way, Xu Daojiang, like other candidates, did not have any care and was admitted to the Beijing Military Medical College.
Later, Xu Daojiang was successively admitted to the master's and doctoral degrees, not to mention the name of his grandfather Xu Shiyou.
When Xu Daojiang was serving as the medical director of the Ministry of Health of the Second Artillery Corps, he once received a phone call from a retired veteran cadre, who opened his mouth and yelled at Xu Daojiang, saying that he was a revolutionary disabled person, so why not give him a disability? He also scolded Xu Daojiang for not seeking his own government in his position.
Xu Daojiang was not angry, patiently listened, and finally contacted all aspects to help the old cadre make up for the disability certificate.
Later, when this old cadre learned that Xu Daojiang was actually Xu Shiyou's granddaughter, he was ashamed of himself, because he was Xu Shiyou's soldier at that time, and he respected Xu Shiyou like a god, but he had such an attitude towards his granddaughter, which was too undeserved!
The 80-year-old cadre personally painted a painting and personally rushed to Xu Daojiang's office to make amends to her. But Xu Daojiang didn't care, saying that if you hadn't brought it up, I would have forgotten that I was Xu Shiyou's granddaughter.
Later, Xu Daojiang said: "Many people say that our red second generation and red third generation have any privileges, in fact, we are no different from ordinary people, even my grandfather's generation does not have privileges, what qualifications do we have to use it?" ”
