During the agrarian revolution, Xie Fuzhi was a general of the Red Fourth Front, and during the Liberation War, he and chen Xie's corps led by Chen Geng made great contributions to the creation of new China. After the founding of New China, Xie Fuzhi served as minister of public security and vice premier, and rose to the rank of vice minister. However, during the special ten years that began in 1966, Xie Fuzhi made mistakes, causing many unjust, false and wrong cases, and was eventually expelled from the party and his ashes were removed from Babaoshan.
The person we want to talk about today is Xie Fuzhi's wife, her name is Liu Xiangping, it is worth mentioning that Liu Xiangping also participated in the Long March, married Xie Fuzhi during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and after marriage, the two gave birth to a son and a daughter. After the founding of New China, Liu Xiangping served as minister of health and other positions, and was a cadre at the ministerial level. However, with Xie Fuzhi's expulsion from the party, Liu Xiangping was also expelled from the party. So, what is the story of Liu Xiangping? How did her children fare afterwards?
Liu Xiangping is a native of Xie County, Shanxi, who joined the Red Army in her early years and followed the Red Army to participate in the Long March. Shortly after the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Liu Xiangping entered the Military and Political Training Corps in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, to study. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Liu Xiangping took up the posts of county magistrate of Gaoping County, leading the military and civilian branches of Gaoping County to participate in the war and resist the Japanese invaders. It was also during that period that Liu Xiangping and Xie Fuzhi married.
At that time, the environment was not good, and it was a war-torn era, so the wedding of the two was very simple, Xie Fuzhi was also a frugal person, the two people put their luggage together, added some food, and ate a meal together, even if they were officially married. After marriage, Xie Fuzhi turned to various places, the two gathered less and left more, until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Liu Xiangping spent more time with her husband, especially during the Liberation War, Liu Xiangping almost accompanied her husband, followed her husband to liberate western Henan, and advanced into the southwest.
After the liberation of the southwest, Liu Xiangping stayed in the southwest with her husband to work, at first, Liu Xiangping served as the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department of the Chuandong Branch Office, and in 1952, she was transferred to Yunnan, where she served as deputy secretary of the Kunming Municipal Party Committee and the third secretary of the Kunming Municipal Party Committee. With Xie Fuzhi being transferred to Beijing as minister of public security, Liu Xiangping also went to Beijing and successively entered the Ministry of Agricultural Machinery, the Eighth Ministry of Machinery Industry and the First Ministry of Machinery Industry.
In July 1973, Liu Xiangping was appointed Minister of Health and became a ministerial-level cadre of New China, and soon after, the "Tenth Congress" was held, and Liu Xiangping also participated in the "Tenth Congress" and was elected as a member of the Central Committee. After that, Liu Xiangping was in charge of the overall work of the Ministry of Health until she was quarantined for review in 1976. The reason why Liu Xiangping was isolated and censored was that she and her husband got close to the "Gang of Four" during the special period of ten years, implemented many of the "Gang of Four" erroneous policies, and persecuted a number of revolutionary cadres. In 1985, Liu Xiangping was expelled from the party, and in her later years she lived mainly in Beijing, living a dull life.
Speaking of which, do you know how Liu Xiangping's children lived after she was censored? Liu Xiangping and Xie Fuzhi had a son and a daughter, of whom the son was named Xie Guoqing, born on October 1, 1949, so he named it "National Day". Xie Guoqing joined the army, but was later influenced by his father to change careers and died in a car accident in 1999.
Liu Xiangping's daughter was named Xie Xiaoqin, and at first Xie Fuzhi let her take her mother's surname, so Xie Xiaoqin was also called Liu Xiaoqin. Liu Xiaoqin studied at the Affiliated Middle School of Beijing Normal University and went to Harbin to study at the University after graduating from middle school. During the special period of ten years, Liu Xiaoqin was more active, and later she married Peng Xiaofeng, the son of Peng Xuefeng, but the two eventually broke up because of their personality. Liu Xiaoqin later became an editor at the People's Literature Publishing House, and now retired, and Liu Xiangping in her later years was mainly cared for by her.
