In the last century, overseas Chinese can be described as a "shining" identity, representing a better quality of life, a higher social status, and a more stable income. At that time, overseas Chinese returning to China have always been the object of everyone's pursuit. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and when the country was in crisis, in addition to donating money and materials to support the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese actively returned to China to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan. For example, Marshal Ye Jianying is a returned overseas Chinese.
Ye Jianying was born in rich Guangdong, his father was once a Martial Xiucai of the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately he did not get ahead, and later chose to do business at home to support his family, but he attached great importance to his son's education, and sent him to a private school at a very young age.
After graduation, Ye Jianying worked as a teacher, and at the age of 19, he went to Malaysia to teach, when several of his uncles lived in Malaysia, where he also relied on it and spent several short years of overseas Chinese life.
In 1917, Yunnan Daowutang recruited overseas Chinese students, Ye Jianying actively enrolled, and successfully entered the school to study military. Don't underestimate the Yunnan Daowutang, this school and the Huangpu and Baoding Army Schools are called the three military schools of modern times, cultivating the top talents of the army, in addition to Ye Jianying, there are south Korean first premier Lee Fan-yi, North Korean vice chairman Choi Yong-kin and other people are studying in Yunnan Daowutang in the same period as Ye Jianying, which can be described as a wealth of talents.
After Ye Jianying graduated from the Yunnan DaowuTang and entered the army, Ye Jianying had spent time in the Guangdong Army, the artillery unit and the marine corps, had rich combat experience, and understood the multi-service combat mode, and was a military talent in all aspects.
In 1922, Chen Jiongming rebelled and launched an attack on the presidential palace, and Ye Jianying, then the commander of the Marine Battalion, led his troops to the Marshal's Mansion for reinforcements, successfully protecting Dr. Sun Yat-sen's evacuation. Dr. Sun Yat-sen recognized his combat ability and invited him to participate in the preparation of the Whampoa Military Academy and made him the deputy director of the professorial department.
Chiang Kai-shek also loved Ye Jianying very much, although Ye Jianying was not from Huangpu, but his military attainment was extremely high, he was a professional military general, Chiang Kai-shek was very sorry for talent, attached great importance to Ye Jianying, and even allowed him to enter Chiang Kai-shek's tent without reporting, and even to enter Chiang Kai-shek's tent with weapons, and even to bring a gun into Chiang Kai-shek's bedroom.
Later, Ye Jianying recalled: "If I had followed Chiang Kai-shek, I would have been promoted to a higher rank and rich, rich and prosperous, and the division commander's annual military salary alone was 200,000 oceans, not to mention other rewards and bribes, and every day he could drink the most precious brandy, smoke cigars, and even bathe with milk." ”
Of course, even if the Kuomintang's treatment is comparable to that of an "emperor," Ye Jianying's heart only yearns for revolution and faith, and even if he were to repeat it, he would never choose Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang.
Before the Nanchang Uprising, Ye Jianying was already the chief of staff of the Fourth Army of the Second Front of the National Revolutionary Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Second Front was Zhang Fakui, when Wang Jingwei and Zhang Fakui planned the Lushan Conference, intending to deceive Ye Ting and He Long into Lushan, and then netted them all.
This news was heard by Ye Jianying, who immediately contacted Ye Ting and told him about the conspiracy, and the Party Central Committee immediately held a meeting to discuss, and decided to let He Long and Ye Ting lead the troops to Nanchang to avoid the "butcher knife hanging neck" this time. Without Ye Jianying's inside information, He Long and Ye Ting, in order not to fight the grass and snakes, were likely to fall into the hands of the enemy, and the consequences would be unimaginable, and the Nanchang Uprising might eventually not be launched. It can be said that Ye Jianying played a decisive role in the Nanchang Uprising.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ye Jianying served as the mayor of Beijing and the secretary of the South China Branch of the Communist Party of China, and always struggled in the front line of military and government and struggled all his life for the construction of the country. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of Founding Marshal and became the country's top military general and important leader.
