After the founding of New China, our country awarded medals to those generals who had made outstanding contributions in the revolutionary years. In the 1955 ceremony, we are most familiar with the ten founding marshals. All of them have performed outstanding deeds and are deeply loved by the people. Today, these ten marshals have passed away, leaving only their legendary stories for people to celebrate.
Among these ten marshals, the earliest to die was Marshal Luo Ronghuan, the last to die was Nie Shuai, the longest-lived was Marshal Liu Bocheng, and Ye Shuai died in 1986. Their wives had also passed away one after another, and now only one of them was still alive, and that was Ye Shuai's wife.
Ye Shuai was born in Guangdong Province, where he was the leader of the Guangzhou Uprising. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, and during the War of Liberation, he led our army to liberate Guangdong, Hainan, and other places successively, making very great contributions to the cause of liberation.
Ye Shuai had six wives in his life, which was a very normal thing in that special era, not to mention that Ye Shuai was handsome and handsome when he was young, and he was very popular with girls. His first marriage was an arranged marriage, and since then he has had five wives, one of whom is Zeng Xianzhi of the Zeng Guo clan. However, today I want to talk about Ye Shuai's last wife, Li Gang, who is now over 90 years old, with a strong body, clear ears and eyes, and lives a life full of children and grandchildren.
Li Gang was born in a large family in Hunan, with a very good family and a strict family style from childhood. At the age of 16, she bravely threw herself into the revolutionary ranks. In 1948, Li Gang and Ye Shuai met, they worked together, gradually developed feelings, and later Li Gang followed Ye Shuai to the south to fight in the northern war. They were married in 1948 and had a son and a daughter, a son named Ye Xuanlian, a daughter named Ye Wenshan, and a pair of children are very good. After liberation, she took up diplomatic work.
In fact, the marriage between Li Gang and Ye Shuai did not last long, in 1955, the two people chose to divorce, but after the divorce, Ye Shuai did not remarry the wife, Li Gang did not remarry, he was Ye Shuai's last wife.
Now, Li Gang lives alone in Beijing, and his son, Ye Xuanlian, is the chairman of Kelly. Ye Xuanlian has two daughters, the eldest daughter is a designer, and the younger daughter has also participated in the selection of good voices.
Li Gang's daughter Ye Wenshan is also very successful in her career and is also the chairman of the company.
