Forty or fifty years ago, only very few countries were willing to establish diplomatic relations with our country, and we could achieve such achievements without those who stood up in the revolutionary era, whether they were born in famous or ordinary families, the young people completely dedicated themselves to the revolutionary cause, Zeng Xianzhi was such a person, she was one of the most dazzling women of that era, as a descendant of Zeng Guofan, this woman bloomed with the ultimate brilliance.
Zeng Guofan was one of the most prominent heroes of the late Qing Dynasty, and many of his brothers also served the Qing army, including the ninth brother Zeng Guoquan, who was also a major general in the Xiang Army, and Zeng Xianzhi was Zeng Guoquan's granddaughter. Born in such a family, Zeng Xianzhi did not have to worry about food and clothing, her father was still a talent, this family under the guidance of their ancestors, good family style from generation to generation, patriotic ideas are deeply rooted in their hearts. Influenced by this family style, Zeng Xianzhi was determined to serve the motherland from an early age. After the end of the Northern Expedition, the people of the country believed that the world was too peaceful, but the Kuomintang openly betrayed the revolution, Zeng Xianzhi was very angry after seeing the evil deeds of the Kuomintang, and her family advised her to establish relations with the Kuomintang.
Zeng Xianzhi himself studied military theory at the Whampoa Military Academy, which trained a large number of senior cadres for the Kuomintang, and Ye Jianying was then the deputy director of the professorial department in the military academy, and the two became acquainted. Although Ye Shuai was thirteen years older than Zeng Xianzhi, he was in his prime, and the ideal struggle in his heart was at his highest level, and the two had a good feeling for each other during this period, but they had not been able to get along for a long time because of the war. After the Kuomintang defected to the revolution, Zeng Xianzhi resolutely followed Ye Shuai to leave the Kuomintang, and at the age of 18, Zeng Xianzhi married Ye Shuai and officially joined our party. Zeng Xianzhi's revolutionary career was thrilling, at the beginning of the revolution, this young woman was severely tortured, how vicious the enemy was, how strong she was, fortunately, under the rescue of the party, she was able to get out of prison, and under the arrangement of the organization, she went to Japan to receive a more comprehensive military education.
After the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, Zeng Xianzhi returned to the motherland again and undertook propaganda work. She constantly published morale-boosting and rallying articles in Xinhua Daily, and her sharp writing made many young people devote themselves to the cause of the War of Resistance, and Zeng Xianzhi also engaged in underground work for several years, constantly circling with the Japanese army, and repeatedly deciphering the enemy's key intelligence. After the founding of New China, Zeng Xianzhi had become an independent person, and she was sent to Deng Yingchao's side by the organization to serve as her secretary and assist her in dealing with issues such as women and the united front. With the defeat and retreat of the Kuomintang, the land reform work in the Liberated Areas was carried out rapidly, and Zeng Xianzhi showed great boldness in the land reform and contributed a lot of wisdom and strength to promoting the land reform.
With the convening of the First National Women's Congress, Zeng Xianzhi was elected as the deputy secretary general of the Women's Federation, and has been fighting for the rights and interests of women's groups. Until the reform and opening up period, Zeng Xianzhi always maintained a diligent and simple style, she often went deep into the grassroots, and the people liked this approachable woman. In her later years, Zeng Xianzhi was still rooted in the cause of equal rights, speaking out for women, and she also served as a deputy to the National People's Congress and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, providing suggestions and suggestions for the development of the motherland.
The son of Zeng Xianzhi and Ye Shuai has also become the pillar of the motherland, Ye Xuanning is Ye Shuai's second son, rooted in the grassroots in his early years, but unfortunately lost his left arm because of an accident, even if he was connected, he also lost the ability to move, but he did not give up on himself, but worked harder, engaged in the foreign affairs of the motherland for a long time, and made great contributions to China's foreign exchanges, in 1988, Ye Xuanning was awarded the rank of major general.

Her spirit of selfless dedication and not being afraid of dangers and obstacles will accompany the people and promote the continuous progress of the great cause of the motherland!
