Everyone is just a dot of light and a note on the era background board, and you can't get out of the era background. So even the great generals, their marriages are also deeply imprinted with the times.
Of the 10 founding generals, 4 are people who have been married twice, let's take a look at their sad or wonderful marriages.
Xu Haidong Tan Zheng Zhang Yunyi Xiao Jinguang
Xu Haidong's (1900) ex-wife was forced to marry a peasant, and his second wife was awarded the rank of colonel in 55 years.
1. When Xu Haidong was 21 years old, he married his adoptive daughter-in-law Tian Dezai.
After Xu Haidong joined the revolution, 66 relatives in the family were brutally killed by the Kuomintang; the enemy did not kill Xu Haidong's wife Tian Dezai in the end mainly for two purposes: one was to use Tian Dezai to lure Xu Haidong back; the other was to force her to sever ties with Xu Haidong and remarry someone else, so as to humiliate and provoke Xu Haidong.
In order to protect Xu Haidong, Tian Dezai was finally forced to tearfully remarry a poor peasant in his hometown.
2. On December 10, 1934, Xu Haidong led the Red 25th Army's Small Long March to southern Shaanxi, and the troops fought fiercely with the Kuomintang in Gengjiahe Village, and a bullet hit the left eyelid of the military commander Xu Haidong, and then passed out from the back of the neck, and his life was hanging in the balance.
At the time when his life was in danger, Zhou Dongping, a 14-year-old nurse from a child daughter-in-law, sucked out the phlegm and blood in Xu Haidong's throat and lungs mouth-to-mouth, which saved Xu Haidong's life.
During the recuperation period, Xu Haidong found that he was more and more inseparable from Zhou Dongping, and Xu Haidong said to Zhou Dongping: "I will marry you." ”

After liberation, the shrewd and capable Zhou Dongping was awarded the rank of colonel.
From 1936 to 1970, Xu Haidong and Zhou Dongping, who was 20 years younger than him, walked through a life of mutual love and companionship.
Tan Zheng (1906) was Chen Geng's brother-in-law, and when two wives died in his lifetime, he could not be with him.
1. Tan Zheng married Chen Geng's 15-year-old sister Chen Okra when he was 18 years old, and the two were young plum bamboo horses since childhood, and their feelings were deep. Later, after Tan Zheng followed Chen Geng to join the army, Chen Okra died of illness.
Tan Zheng was very sad when he found out, and for the next 13 years he insisted on celibacy and did not contact other women.
2. But it is not good to be so single, Luo Ronghuan personally ran to the door to introduce him to Wang Changde, a female Red Army soldier who participated in the Long March, and the two held a wedding in May 1937.
Tan Zheng and Wang Changde
In 1955, Wang Changde was awarded the rank of colonel, and of all the founding generals' wives, only Gan Siqi's wife, Li Zhen (major general), had a higher rank than her.
Tan Zheng's marriage to Wang Changde was also full of ups and downs in that special era: during the Cultural Revolution, Tan Zheng was transferred to Fujian (isolation), and the husband and wife were forced to separate.
In 1971, Wang Changde died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
It was not until 1975, when Tan Zheng saw the photo of Wang Changde brought by his son, that he did not know the situation, and the tears flew down.

A great mother, Zhu Zhongzhi's children also commented on her.
4. The love story of Zhang Yunyi (1892): One person has two wives at the same time and enjoys the blessings of others.
The most legendary thing about Zhang Yunyi's marriage is that his second wife was actually married back to him by the first wife, Wang Shi, without his knowledge.
1. The first wife, Wang Shi, is a good virtuous.
The first wife, Wang Shi, had been related to Zhang Yunyi for several years, but she only had a daughter named Zhang Qiong. In Wang's view, he was very sorry for Zhang Yunyi, because there were three filial pieties, and no queen was greater.
So Wang made up her own mind, and she decided to take a concubine for her husband.
The target chosen by wang is called "Han Bi", which is also Zhang Yunyi's Hometown in Hainan. Zhang Yunyi himself was not at home, married by the Wang family, Han Bi even if he married the door and entered the cave room.
Zhang Yunyi returned home to see the two ladies, and could only accept the reality while smiling bitterly, that year Han Bi just turned 19 years old, Zhang Yunyi was 31 years old.
Once a Japanese plane bombed Guangzhou, Wang was unfortunately killed, so Han Bi alone took up the burden of the family.
2. The second wife had a sad fate and a happy ending.
At the end of 1937, when Zhang Yunyi went to Hong Kong to work underground at the behest of the central government, he found his wife Han Bi and son who had been separated for 8 years.
In July 1939, han bi and his son were on their way to the Jiangbei headquarters to reunite with Zhang Yunyi, and they were arrested and detained by the Kuomintang for more than seven months.
After liberation, Zhang Yunyi's family went to Guangxi and should have been able to live a good life, but Han Bi was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and when everyone suggested that she go to a mental hospital, Zhang Yunyi resolutely decided to leave Han Bi at home.
A miracle happened: by 1956, Han Bi was able to put on his military uniform again and join the work. Since then, they have been living together in harmony and love.
In 1974, Zhang Yunyi died of illness at the age of 82; in 1984, Han Bi died of illness, and before she died, she had been gently shouting Zhang Yunyi's name, and this affection made all those present shed tears.
Conclusion: Ten years of repair to cross the same boat, a hundred years to repair to sleep together. Life meets to become a husband and wife, that is fate, must be cherished.
