During the Liberation War, the Kuomintang had formed 22 corps with numerical numbers, but because some corps had also been rebuilt and rebuilt, the real number of Kuomintang corps was about 40. That is to say, during the Liberation War, the number of Commanders of the Kuomintang Corps was about 40. Among the more than 40 corps commanders of the Kuomintang, there is a person who is very special, although he can't fight, but he has lived for the longest life of 103 years, and one son was once the Golden Horse Award Film Emperor. So, who is the commander of this Kuomintang corps? Let's move on.
Sun Yuanliang was born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, with his ancestral home in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, and graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. In his military career, Sun Yuanliang had successively experienced the Northern Expedition, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the War of Liberation, but because of his poor military command ability, he repeatedly fled from the battlefield, so he fell into the notoriety of "running away from the general". However, Sun Yuanliang, who had a bad reputation, was constantly promoted, and his official position became bigger and bigger, the biggest reason for this was that Sun Yuanliang was not only a Huangpu general, but also had a certain background in the Sichuan army, and his uncle Sun Zhen was one of the warlords in Sichuan. In order to win over the Sichuan warlords to fight for his life, Chiang Kai-shek paid special attention to and appreciated Sun Yuanliang.
In August 1948, shortly before the outbreak of the Battle of Huaihai, the Kuomintang formed the 16th Corps based on the 47th Army and the 5th Appeasement District of the Sichuan Army, with three corps under the jurisdiction of the 41st Army, the 47th Army, and the 99th Army. In order to better control this Sichuan army, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Sun Yuanliang as the commander of the Sixteenth Corps. At that time, Sun Yuanliang's Sixteenth Corps was under the command of the Kuomintang Xuzhou General Headquarters, and as a result, in the later Battle of Huaihai, Sun Yuanliang's Sixteenth Corps was completely destroyed during the breakthrough. However, at this time, Sun Yuanliang once again exerted his superb escape ability, escaped to heaven through disguise, and avoided the fate of being captured.
Later, Sun Yuanliang fled back to Nanjing, and according to Chiang Kai-shek's orders, he gathered the remnants of the defeated generals and rebuilt the Sixteenth Corps. At the end of 1949, Sun Yuanliang fled to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek, when Sun Yuanliang was responsible for the defeat and loss of his division, coupled with the infighting between the Kuomintang generals, so Sun Yuanliang chose to retire from the army and engage in business, opened a noodle shop, textile company, etc., and lived a decent life. In his later years, Sun Yuanliang had a very good mentality and good health, and lived until May 2007, when he died at the age of 103, and was the longest-lived general of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and could be said to be a winner in life.
Although Sun Yuanliang's reputation is not good, he has a son who is very famous, this son is really named Sun Xiangzhong, the stage name is Qin Han, is a famous movie star in the 1970s and 1980s, and Qin Xianglin, Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia are collectively known as "Erqin Erlin", and have starred in many famous TV series. In 1978, Qin Han also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, is a film emperor, and is deeply loved by film fans. Today, Qin Han is still engaged in acting, and from time to time there are new works released, which is simply an evergreen tree in the film world. It can be said that from the reputation of Sun Yuanliang's father and son, the son is many times stronger than the father.
