In ancient times, Hua Mulan served in the army for her father, Liang Hongyu fought on the battlefield, and many heroic female fighters also emerged in the revolutionary history of modern China. However, in fact, such female warriors are still a minority after all, and women are different from men in terms of physical quality and courage and character, which leads to the natural disadvantage of women when marching and fighting. Therefore, female warriors who can overcome physical conditions are particularly determined and admirable. Today, we want to tell the story of such a revolutionary heroine. She is Li Gang.
Li Gang's most well-known identity is Ye Jianying's wife, as marshal Ye's seventh wife and last wife, the most noticed label on Li Gang is the marshal's wife. However, leaving aside this label, in that turbulent era, Li Gang himself was also an excellent independent woman and a respectable revolutionary predecessor.
Li Gang was born in Huxiang Dadi, which has the reputation of "the whole chaohui in the Furong country". In 1927, the year li was born, this year, the country had just experienced the defeat of the Great Revolution, the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was in full swing at home, the foreign powers were looking at the tiger, and the land of China was worried about internal and external troubles. Li Gang, who was born in the hot land of revolution in Hunan, was luckier than most people. Li Gang's family has a rich family, and his ancestors were famous generals in the late Qing Dynasty, which also made Li Gang's living environment more favorable. The name Li Gang does not look like a girl's name, but appears quite masculine, which is why Li Gang's father gave this name to his daughter. Although Li Gang was born famous, but born in a chaotic world, Li Gang's father did not want his daughter to grow into a weak and delicate lady in the future, but grew into a strong woman who could face difficulties. Li Gang did not live up to his father's expectations, not only that, in his father's eyes, Li Gang also became "deviant".
Initially, Li Gang's father did not intend to let Li Gang receive cultural education, and pursued the feudal scum of female talentlessness, but at the insistence of Li Gang himself, he was given the opportunity to enter the academy to receive advanced education, and thus, Li Gang's sense of independence was awakened. Li Gang realized that in that era, no Chinese could be left alone, and as a member of the sons and daughters of China, if the motherland was no longer invaded and became rich and strong, he must join the torrent of revolution. Therefore, despite the opposition of his family, Li Gang resolutely left his hometown and embarked on the revolutionary road. It is precisely because of this choice that Li Gang later met an important person in his life- Ye Jianying.
Ye Jianying's meritorious deeds do not need to be repeated, we all know that he is one of the ten founding fathers of the country, and he has made great contributions to our party in all periods. As one of the marshals of the Republic, Ye Jianying not only had great achievements in battle, but also had a rich love history. Li Gang and Ye Jianying met during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and before that, Ye Jianying had already had six wives. In fact, this is not because Marshal Ye is so affectionate, but because he is in the midst of war, and everyone still can't take care of it, let alone the small family? In modern China, there are very few revolutionaries in our Party who can grow old with their original white heads, either because the flames of war have separated the two people forever, or because they are on opposite sides of the world, and it is difficult to see each other again. Moreover, Ye Yunshuai's heroic figure, his appearance is magnificent, and he has loved heroes since ancient times, and such a situation is also understandable.
When Marshal Ye and Li Gang met, Li Gang was still studying, and the difference in status and age between the two was very large, but this batch of things did not prevent the two from falling in love, and Li Gang's independent spirit and avant-garde consciousness were deeply attracted to Marshal Ye. Li Gang has been actively involved in the patriotic movement to save the country and survive since middle school, and as a student, her strength is still very limited, but she strives to use it to the greatest extent, while collecting donations for frontline fighters, while publishing progressive articles in the press in solidarity with the anti-Japanese resistance. Such a brave and excellent revolutionary female fighter is very close to Marshal Ye. Finally, when Li Gang was 21 years old, that is, in 1948, Marshal Ye chose to marry her. After marriage, Li Gang and Ye Jianying gave birth to a son and a daughter, this marriage was very happy at first, but the good times were not long, perhaps because Marshal Ye was busy with work, or perhaps because the gap between age and identity brought by the gap between the two, and finally they failed to go through the seven-year itch, and in 1955, the two officially divorced.
But although the marriage is over, the two children are innocent. Li Gang and Ye Jianying are still very responsible for the children, giving them the love and education they deserve, and in the end, these two children have grown up very well and have not lived up to the expectations and teachings of their parents. Their son's name is Ye Xuanlian, a person who integrates the identities of a soldier and a businessman, as a soldier, Ye Xuanlian joined the army at a young age and has always achieved the position of general staff of the People's Liberation Army. As a businessman, Ye Xuanlian is even more brilliant, creating his own business kingdom and subordinate a number of large companies. As for Ye Jianying and Li Gang's daughter Ye Wenshan, she also became an excellent businessman, although her achievements were not as outstanding as her brother's, but she still created her own world, with a successful career and a happy marriage, both talented and hardworking, worthy of being the daughter of Ye Shuai and Li Gang.
As the former marshal's wife, Li Gang is now more than ninety years old and is a well-deserved long-lived old man. After divorcing Ye Jianying, Li Gang has been living a plain and low-key life, doing his work steadily and conscientiously, educating his two children well, until the children grow up to make a good career, and they also retire honorably and enjoy their old age. Compared with the ups and downs of her former husband's life, Li Gang's life is considered ordinary, but it is not ordinary, as an excellent revolutionary heroine, his body is also shining. Here, I also hope that the elderly will continue to live a healthy, happy and happy life.
