Feng Yuxiang's only surviving son, worth hundreds of billions, still retains His Chinese nationality
Warlords, ancient times, such as the various princes under the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is not holding military power and dominating one side, after the Tang Dynasty, although the term prince no longer exists, but how much is the difference between the nature of the moderation and the princes? Looking at the modern era, there are countless large and small warlords during the Republic of China period, the most famous of which are Zhang Zuolin, the "King of the Northeast", Duan Qirui, the "Tiger of beiyang", Wu Peifu, the "Xiucai General", Feng Yuxiang, the "Cloth General", and so on. One of the most well-known is the "Cloth General" Feng Yuxiang, not only because of his contributions to the country during the War of Resistance Against Japan, but also because of his "tiger father" behavior in the education of his children, so that his only son can still care about the country even if he is abroad.
As a generation of warlords, How many children did Feng Yuxiang have in his lifetime? What is the outcome of the children? How did Feng Yuxiang, who was born in the army, educate his children? Today, we will take these questions and walk into the descendants of the warlord Feng Yuxiang to see what stories have happened to them!
One. Born in the army, standard tiger father
In the eighth year of Guangxu, that is, in 1882, Feng Yuxiang was born into a military family in North Street, Xingji Town, QingXian County. His father, Feng Youmao, was a commander of a military camp in Baoding, and it can be said that Feng Yuxiang was very familiar with the military camp since childhood. Because Feng Yuxiang's father was a standard soldier and had been working in the army for a long time, he had trained Feng Yuxiang strictly from a very young age, and everything was required of his son by the standards of a soldier. This also cultivated the blood and tenacity in Feng Yuxiang's bones.
In 1896, Feng Yuxiang, who had just turned 15 years old, inherited his father's ambitions and went to Baoding as a soldier at the recommendation of his father, becoming an ordinary soldier in the fifth battalion of Baoding. Feng Yuxiang, who came to the military camp, was like a fish in the water, he liked the environment in the military camp and also liked to mingle with other colleagues. But it didn't take long for Feng Yuxiang to get tired of the boring military life day after day, and he didn't want to be just an obscure creep for the rest of his life. So he asked his father for advice, and Feng Youmao told him that a real soldier must not only have excellent physical fitness, but also have cultivation and wisdom. In this way, Feng Yuxiang began a life in which, in addition to his usual training, he always took time to read books and learn to absorb military knowledge.
The good times did not last long, and his father Feng Youmao was cut off by the army because of illness, and the top pillar of the family fell, which made the family, which was not rich, even worse. Forced to make a living, Feng Yuxiang can only take on the heavy responsibility of supporting his family, and at the same time, he is more deeply aware that if he wants to realize his ideals and improve the situation at home, he must work harder. Therefore, Feng Yuxiang, who was in the military camp, trained harder, and at the same time did not forget to improve his military quality, and he borrowed almost every soldier's book that he could borrow in the military camp. In this way, Feng Yuxiang, who always maintained his tenacity in the face of adversity, began his real military career.
Feng Yuxiang, who was down-to-earth and resourceful in the army, quickly won the favor of his superiors and introduced him to a woman named Liu Dezhen. This woman named Liu Dezhen came from an ordinary family, simple and capable, generous and cheerful, and Feng Yuxiang was attracted when he first met her. After some contact, Feng Yuxiang found that Liu Dezhen was very much in line with his criteria for choosing a wife, and soon the two married. After marriage, Liu Dezhen gave birth to five children for Feng Yuxiang, two men and three women, and at the same time, she arranged Feng Yuxiang's rear very appropriately, which also laid a solid foundation for Feng Yuxiang to be able to make a smooth career.
However, in 1923, Liu Dezhen fell ill and died, leaving only Feng Yuxiang and five young children. Feng Yuxiang, who was usually busy with military affairs, had no time to take care of his children. At this moment, someone introduced a woman named Li Dequan to him, and after inquiring, he found that Li Dequan was as shrewd and capable as his original wife, his personality was also very cheerful, and he was also very patient with his five children. This time, Feng Yuxiang and Li Dequan gave birth to a total of one man, three daughters, and four children. However, for many reasons, eight of the nine children died one after another, and the only one who is still alive today is the second son he gave birth to with his original wife, Feng Hongzhi.
According to Feng Hongzhi, as his father Feng Yuxiang's official position in the army grew larger and larger, he spent less and less time at home, but he never relaxed the education of his children. He is a typical "tiger father" who uses very strict standards to demand his children, sometimes even stricter than his own subordinates. It was feng Yuxiang's spirit of strict requirements that led to Feng Hongzhi's later achievements.
Two. Suffering education, tempering the mind
When Feng Hongzhi was born, Feng Yuxiang already had a certain amount of power in the army, so it seems that Feng Hongzhi should have grown up in brocade and luxury cars. But Feng Yuxiang knows very well that he was born in the army, and he has suffered a lot since he was a child, so he understands that life is not easy, and if he lets his children enjoy those good lives as soon as they are born, it is easy to cultivate stupid children. So surprisingly, Feng Hongzhi was sent back to the countryside by his father at a very young age.
Feng Hongzhi, who was sent back to the countryside, did not live a life like a young master, on the contrary, he was no different from ordinary peasant children, and his father Feng Yuxiang did not send someone to take care of his life. He also needs to get up early every day to cut the grass and feed the pigs, herd the sheep in his spare time, and help with the family's work. If others didn't say it, no one would think that this was Feng Yuxiang's young master.
Facts have proved that Feng Yuxiang's approach is correct, in such a day-to-day labor, Feng Hongzhi has developed a hard-working character, he never shouts bitterness and tiredness, even if he needs to practice for two hours after returning from sheep herding, he can complete it with quality and quantity. His positive ambition made Feng Yuxiang very satisfied, and in order to let him receive a better education, Feng Yuxiang decided to send him to the Soviet Union to study at the age of 12.
Shortly after Feng Hongzhi arrived in the Soviet Union, his second sister Feng Fufa also followed. In order to prevent the young two from living a drunken and gold fan's life outside, Feng Yuxiang strictly controlled the study expenses of the sister and brother. Therefore, Feng Hongzhi and his sister also need to go out to do some odd jobs to subsidize their daily lives in addition to their intense study, even so, the academic performance of the two sisters and brothers is still very good.
After studying in the Soviet Union for a year, in order to pursue their dreams, the sisters and brothers pooled some money and flew to Germany to continue their studies. At that time, the international political environment was very unstable, and in 1941, Germany unilaterally announced the severance of diplomatic relations with China, which aroused the patriotism of Feng Hongzhi and Feng Fufa. They did not hesitate to interrupt their studies in Germany, and even though the siblings were still doing well and were about to graduate, they chose to return to China. After Hearing this news, although Feng Yuxiang felt sorry for his children's studies, he was more proud of the patriotic feelings stirring in his children's hearts as a father.
Three. Continue to study, and eventually become a great instrument
Feng Hongzhi, who returned to China, did not rely on his father's power to enter the career, on the contrary, after examining the domestic industrial field, he found that the level of domestic industrial development was far from the level of industrial development in Western countries, and he believed that if a country wants to develop, it must first improve the industrial level. So he gave up the best option provided by his father for him, and he hoped to continue to study abroad, and when he returned home after completing his studies, he would revitalize the country.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, at the repeated requests of Feng Hongzhi, Feng Yuxiang sent him to the United States for further study. At this time, Feng Hongzhi was no longer the little child who studied in the Soviet Union, so he refused the living expenses provided by his father and insisted on studying while working to support himself. Although his life was not easy, his academic performance did not fall behind, and he even continued to pursue a doctorate at the University of California after receiving a master's degree from the New York Institute of Physics.
In 1952, Feng Hongzhi, who successfully graduated with a doctorate, was full of joy and finally wanted to return to the motherland he thought about day and night, but the reality was cruel, and for some special reasons, his trip back to China had to be postponed indefinitely.
During his stay in the United States, Feng participated in the design of large nuclear power plants and nuclear submarines in the United States, projects that made the fledgling young man famous. These fames did not overwhelm Feng Hongzhi's mind, he knew that he would one day return to the embrace of his motherland. During the days when he could not go back, he was down-to-earth engaged in scientific and technological research, and with his excellent ability, he sat down until he was the vice president of Walsington.
Four. Science and technology to serve the country, unswerving
Hard-working, excellent and outstanding Feng Hongzhi has been appreciated by many large companies in the United States, they not only gave a generous reward, but also proposed to let Feng Hongzhi become a Us citizen, but he rejected them one by one. The reason is very simple, because his father Feng Yuxiang taught him from an early age that everyone is a Chinese, Chinese to love their motherland, although they have been stranded in the United States for many years, but as a Chinese, it is an instinct to love their country.
When Feng Hongzhi retired from the position of vice president of Walsington, it coincided with the domestic reform and opening up, and he always paid attention to the domestic situation, and he knew that the time was ripe for him to serve the motherland. So Feng Hongzhi couldn't wait to book a plane ticket, and finally embarked on a journey back to China after more than forty years away from home.
After returning to China, Feng Hongzhi never forgot the vow he made before studying in the United States, and rejuvenated the country through industry. Therefore, after he saw the dilemma of domestic investment promotion, he took the initiative to give full play to his advantages of working in the United States for many years, founded Taishan Industrial Company, and actively built a bridge for Sino-foreign cooperation, so that China's industrial level can be in line with the world, and truly realize his dream of industrial rejuvenation.
In addition, as a Chinese wanderer who has lived overseas for many years, he knows the difficulty of leaving the embrace of his mother in the motherland and traveling abroad. Therefore, he took advantage of the relationship between his family and the Chiang family to personally write a letter to Chiang Ching-kuo, in which he exhorted in an extremely earnest tone that China is an inseparable whole, and the people on both sides of the strait are always looking forward to reunification, hoping that he will not repeat the mistakes of his predecessors. Although the results were not satisfactory, it can be seen that Feng Hongzhi's patriotic heart is fisted.
With the development of the times, Feng Hongzhi single-handedly founded Taishan Industrial Company, the business involves a wider range, including a lot of high-tech machinery research and development and creation, someone has calculated, Taishan Industrial Company's market value is conservatively estimated to have exceeded 100 billion. At the insistence of Feng Hongzhi, the company's headquarters was also moved back to Shanghai from the United States, truly realizing the rejuvenation of the country through industry.
Feng Hongzhi, born in a chaotic world, grew up in a chaotic world, learned in a chaotic world, and finally applied what he had learned all his life to the peaceful years, making indelible contributions to the prosperity of the motherland. Even if you are abroad, you have never forgotten that you are a Chinese, always care about the motherland, and stand up when the motherland needs it most, which is the backbone of the nation!
