He Ziyou, the first female general of New China, did not let her eyebrows be raised, she punched the bandits, marched west to Ma Jiajun, and also served as the chief instructor of martial arts in the Red Army, making great achievements along the way. As for her martial arts and alcohol intake, Xu Shiyou, who was born in the Shaolin Temple and was an alcoholic, had to bow to the wind, lose convincingly, and willingly became her subordinates, and from time to time went to her to practice martial arts and drink wine.
So, let's take a look at the opening and hanging life of this red legendary female general.
Red Female General
Wudang sent a female Red Army
In the years of the revolutionary war led by Chairman Mao, it can be said that there are countless heroes. At the same time, among these groups of heroes, there are more female heroes than ever before. During those years of suffering but glory, the Chinese female Red Army, stepping on the Long March, persisted in the revolutionary struggle, and quenched into steel to transcend the impermanence of war and the limits of women's physiology. This is tantamount to the best historical witness to the development of the women's liberation movement in China.

And the female Red Army She Ziyou is obviously one of them. In 1913, He Ziyou was born in Qingquan Township, Cangxi County, and her daughter did not love red makeup and arms since she was a child, and loved dancing guns and sticks since childhood, showing a strong talent for martial arts. Due to his extraordinary talent, He Ziyou was accepted as an apprentice by the head of Wudang Taihe Boxing and became the twelfth generation disciple of Wudang Taihe Boxing Master, practicing a unique martial art.
He Ziyou's master is None other than Li Deyuan, who is known as the "Northern Leg Sacred Hand Li Laowu" by the Jianghu people. Under the careful teaching of Li Deyuan, He Ziyou learned the internal skills of the school at the age of eighteen, such as the "Tang Clan Five Phoenix QiMing Technique", "Luan Feng and Ming Yin Yang Technique", and "Carving Zhi Baoyang Flower Arrangement", and even he Ziyou practiced the special secret skill of "Eliminating the Five Poisons and Destroying Hands".

At the same time, Li Deyuan often taught He Ziyou to learn to cultivate both martial virtue and virtue, to put virtue first, to rise and fall in the world, and to have the responsibility of the puppeteer. He Ziyou's father, who was also a patriotic revolutionary, contributed his share to the revolution. He Ziyou has always regarded his father as his own example, and after his father died in 1933 because he was persecuted by the enemy for participating in revolutionary activities, He Ziyou, who had achieved great academic achievements, decided to go out of the mountains and firmly follow the same revolutionary road as his father, becoming a worker and peasants' Red Army.

Punch the bandits, and march west to the Ma family army
After joining the Red Army, He Ziyou joined the Women's Independence League, and with his good marksmanship and good martial arts, he was soon incorporated into the first and only regular women's armed forces in the history of our army: the Women's Independent Regiment, and served as the chief instructor of the women's independent regiment and the reconnaissance platoon leader, responsible for strengthening the combat effectiveness of other female comrades.

Under her leadership, this armed force of women was no less capable of fighting than men, and also participated in the long march of thirty-five thousand miles. During the Long March, our army not only had to face the enemy's encirclement and blockade, but also was often harassed by bandits along the way. Every time he encountered bandits, He Ziyou would step forward and "fight a front battle" on behalf of our army, use the "jianghu rules" that were popular at that time to fight the enemy, single out the bandit gang, the mountain king black qi and many other gang leaders, and kill many bandit bullies with their bare hands.
Tough red army female general
After becoming her defeated generals, the bandit leaders were willing to make way for the Red Army. Therefore, He Ziyou became a well-known "He Tie Fist" in the army and was admired by many people. After the Long March reached northern Shaanxi, the Women's Independent Regiment embarked on the road of the Western Expedition with the army, dueling with the fierce and cruel Ma Jiajun. At that time, the Red Army was almost completely annihilated by the Ma Family Army, and He Ziyou led the independent women's regiment to kill a bloody road, which was able to retain the vitality of the Red Army.
He Ziyou not only used both knives and guns on the battlefield, but also used his agile hands to avoid the attack of enemy artillery. In the white-knife battle of close combat, no one is invincible, and only a pair of iron fists can kill the enemy. At that time, a group of Ma Jiajun rode around the vicinity of He Ziyou and others, and deliberately used knives to provoke dust to their faces, which was full of provocation.

Saying that it was late and fast, He Ziyou, who had already fought to the point of exhaustion, immediately found the right moment to slap the horse on the stomach, directly slapping the horse to the ground and shivering constantly, and even the Ma Jiajun on the horse's back was thrown to the ground. Of course, before the fallen Ma Jiajun could react, he was slapped by He Ziyou and killed in the Western Heavens, making the remaining Ma Jiajun look dumbfounded. He Ziyou took advantage of the situation and put down three or four Ma Jiajun, and the other people saw the situation and were frightened and fled.
In the end, He Ziyou not only led the independent women's group to retreat, but also successfully covered the retreat of the entire team.

Xu Shiyou bowed to him
General Xu Shiyou, a well-known general in the army, was born in Shaolin, and his martial arts were equally superb, he was a "monk general" in the army, who always liked to meet friends with martial arts, and no one in the Southern Red Army who usually fought with him could beat him. Therefore, after Xu Shiyou heard about He Ziyou's master deeds, he specially came to practice martial arts with her.
He Ziyou had also heard that there was an invincible "Xu monk" in the army, and he had long wanted to see it, so he happily agreed to Xu Shiyou's engagement. Xu Shiyou and He Ziyou, a Shaolin Temple disciple and a descendant of the Wudang Sect, were all legendary figures in the army, so as soon as the news of the ring went out, it attracted many Red Army soldiers to come and watch.

The two fought for a long time without winning or losing, and the process of competition was also very exciting. However, I did not expect that General Xu's "Shaolin Kung Fu" was eventually defeated by He Ziyou's "Taihe Fist Technique", which made Xu Shiyou lose convincingly. Xu Shiyou lost but was not annoyed, but said to He Ziyou: "I lost, willing to bow to the wind." ”
In this way, the two gradually formed a friendship, not only often competing in martial arts together, but also often drinking together. For this point of drinking, the alcoholic Xu Shiyou has a lot of say, he claims that "a thousand cups do not pour", a meal can drink four or five pounds of liquor. Therefore, when Xu Shiyou learned that He Ziyou was still very good at drinking, he was determined to drink with her, and even asked people to use the basin to fill the wine, trying to shock the other party from the momentum.

Even so, Xu Shiyou could not drink He Ziyou, who drank directly from the basin, and had to bow down to her once again.
Heroes, great women
He Ziyou is brave and good at war, excellent in martial arts, and his style of acting is quite manly, eating meat and drinking wine, and his experience is even more legendary, and his reputation resounds throughout the Red Army. Too good will also bring trouble, strong fighting ability she makes many men look away from him, respect and distance, which makes her life's events become a tricky thing.

However, Zhou Zikun, then deputy chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, became one of the few people who dared to boldly pursue her. Under the pursuit of Zhou Zikun, He Ziyou, who was bent on becoming a family, finally agreed to Zhou Zikun's pursuit and entered the marriage hall together. At the wedding, even Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, President Zhu and other leaders of the CPC Central Committee personally attended their wedding banquet and celebrated for them.

The married life of the two is also very happy, four years of holding two, a man and a woman, children and daughters. But just four years later, in 1941, the Anhui Incident, Zhou Zikun was betrayed by traitors and shot, heroically sacrificed. After He Ziyou learned of the bad news, she was very sad, but she quickly turned her grief into strength, sent her two children to the army nursery, and then continued to devote herself to the revolutionary career, with amazing perseverance and fighting spirit, in the logistics post, conscientious, hard work, and do everything possible to ensure military supplies.
In 1955, when the People's Liberation Army conferred the title, He Ziyou was awarded the Order of August 1 of the Third Class, the Order of Independence of the Third Class, and the Liberation Medal of the Third Class. In 1969, He Ziyou retired and enjoyed the treatment of deputy military rank. After Zhou Zikun was killed, even if the organization introduced her to more people to persuade her to remarry, He Ziyou never remarried, but chose one person to pull the two children to adulthood and cultivate them into the pillars of the country.

Because he has always insisted on practicing martial arts, He Ziyou lived to the age of 103. At the memorial service of his death, there was also a pair of salutations sent by the Eastern Theater of the People's Liberation Army, which read:
"The horse does not unsaddle, and she has been a female soldier all her life." The journey is thousands of miles, and the scarf is also a hero. ”
