This is the last family portrait taken by Chen Yi before he died. This photograph was taken in June 1971.

Behind Zhang Qian is her daughter, Chen Shanshan, who was 21 years old at the time, working as a nurse at the 261 Hospital of the Beijing Military Region. In the middle of the back row was the second son, Chen Danhuai, who was 28 years old at the time and served as a soldier in Hebei. Chen Yi was followed by his third son, Chen Xiaolu, 25 years old, who served as a soldier in the Shenyang Military Region.

At that time, Chen Yi had just undergone surgery, and the children took this opportunity to apply from the army to go home to visit their relatives, so they took this precious group photo. Although Chen Yi's body was very weak at this time, he was very happy to see that the children had come to his side, and when he took pictures, a happy smile appeared on his face.
