introduction
The development and progress of New China cannot rely solely on politics and military, but also on the common advancement of economy and culture. Our Chinese civilization has a long history of thousands of years, and the material cultural heritage left to future generations is innumerable, including the once brilliant Yuanmingyuan. Unfortunately, it was reduced to rubble under the gunfire of the Eight-Power Alliance.
As for the rare treasures inside, they were divided up by the great powers. To this day, this event, which symbolizes national shame, still makes the people of China sad and indignant. In recent years, many cultural relics that have been displaced abroad have flowed to the auction market, and not a few have been sent back to China. The Twelve Zodiac Signs of the Yuanmingyuan Town Gate are among them, and it is Deng Xiaoping's son-in-law He Ping who has retrieved the three zodiac signs of cattle, monkeys and tigers.
01
He Ping was a descendant of the revolution and was born in 1940. His father, He Biao, had a high reputation during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, not because of how outstanding his achievements were and how well he did political work, but because his one-handed rejuvenation of medical skills was amazing. In the war years, the artillery fire is relentless, and there will be casualties in every battle, and this time it is necessary for the field doctor to show his skills.
He Biao was a doctor accompanying the army as early as the Long March, and later served as a leader in Ichino Hospital, and countless wounded people were recovered and rescued by his hands. From the point of view of saving the lives of revolutionaries and people, his contribution to the revolution is no less than that of the soldiers who went to war to kill people, or even more precious. Due to his father's revolutionary experience, He Ping grew up listening to revolutionary stories since he was a child, and he was full of yearning and admiration for soldiers.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, as the motherland needed more professional talents in the field of national defense science and technology, He Ping did not rush to join the army, but firmly laid a solid cultural foundation, hoping to add strength to the cause of national defense through knowledge. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Kazakh military industry, but when he immersed himself in hard study, he caught up with the turbulent period. In this way, he only studied for one year before being sent to the farm to participate in labor training. It was originally a very bitter thing, but I did not expect that love would come quietly at this time.
Due to the special background at that time, there were not a few revolutionary descendants who received training with him, including Lü Tongyan, the daughter of General Lü Zhengcao. The two are good friends who talk about everything here and communicate frequently. Once, Lu Tongyan went to visit a good friend named Deng Rong at a nearby farm. Deng Rong is a high-caliber student at beijing medical university and the youngest daughter of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, who has also been implicated because of his father's relationship.

In the middle of their youth, in addition to chatting about life and study, their two friends occasionally talk about their yearning for feelings. Thinking that He Ping was still single, plus he came from a family of military doctors, Lu Tongyan thought of connecting these two friends. At first, Deng Rong was more repulsive, after all, her identity was special and she did not want to attract too much attention. However, after receiving He Ping's letter, she was shaken.
Looking at the other party's vigorous words and sincere and philosophical words, she slowly opened her heart. And her independence and strength also won the favor of He Ping. In this way, they never met and established a deep relationship through letters, which later developed into lovers. At that time, Deng Xiaoping was in a low period, recuperating in Jiangxi. Deng Rong felt the need to tell his father about his feelings, and took He Ping to Jiangxi for his father to personally check.

Deng Xiaoping originally knew He Biao, and when he learned that it was his family's child, he naturally had no opinion. After meeting, he was even more satisfied with the calm and steady He Ping. After the turmoil, the married Couple He Ping and his wife both resumed their work, and he held a leading position in the Equipment Department of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, with the rank of major general. After the million-dollar disarmament, he responded to the call of the army to take up a position in the enterprise, serving as the chairman of the Poly Group, dedicated to serving the defense industry.
In 2000, the three songs of cattle, monkeys and tigers in the 12 Chinese zodiac signs of the Yuanmingyuan were auctioned in Hong Kong, and although the domestic cultural relics protection department negotiated and condemned them, they ultimately failed to organize the auction to be held as scheduled. Upon learning of this news, He Ping, who was still on a business trip abroad, immediately notified the Hong Kong branch to participate in the auction, and finally regained the national treasure for 30 million Hong Kong dollars. Subsequently, these three national treasures were exhibited in Hong Kong for three days, highlighting our national prestige. In 2010, at the age of 70, He Ping resigned and only served as honorary chairman of the group.
epilogue
As a descendant of the revolution, He Ping has the integrity and fortitude that we are familiar with, and he can make some achievements when he is in the army, and he has fully demonstrated the style of Chinese soldiers when he came to the enterprise. No matter where he is, his determination to be loyal to the motherland and the army remains unchanged. It is worth mentioning that he was also a very filial junior, accompanying his father-in-law in his later years until the death of the old man. Really good people always have a broad heart, and in every aspect are impeccable and admirable
