In the blink of an eye, the 130th anniversary of the birth of this meritorious founding general has passed. The author caught a plane to Hainan and visited the memorial hall of this military scientist in a coconut grove, listening to his hometown people tell the legend of the general who followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen to participate in the revolution, had two wives to accompany him for life, and our party looked up to him.
General Zhang and the Second Lady
This person's name was Zhang Yunyi, and he was awarded the rank of general in 1955 and was included in the ranks of military experts of the Republic. He was born in 1892 and was one of the few old revolutionaries in the party. Before he joined the party, like Zhu De, he was a major general in the National Revolutionary Army and performed many miracles in his life, including that he was the eldest of the 10 generals, the Fu general who had experienced the longest war but was not wounded, and most marshal generals could call him "old squad leader".
The general's "old squad leader"
Zhang Yunyi has rich experience, he participated in Sun Yat-sen's League in 1909, the New Army Uprising in Guangzhou in 1910, the Huanghuagang Uprising and the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, and led the Baise Uprising with Deng Xiaoping, served as deputy chief of staff and director of the Operations Bureau of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, deputy commander and chief of staff of the New Fourth Army, second secretary of the South China Branch of the Central Committee, secretary of the Guangxi Provincial Party Committee and chairman of the People's Government.
The general became famous for the Huanghuagang Uprising. In 1911, Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others agreed on the Xinhai Revolution Guangzhou Uprising, when Zhang Yunyi, who was 19 years old, was in the New Army, and 800 people were secretly selected in the army to form a death squad. On April 17, Huang Xing led a death squad to attack the Liangguang Governor's Mansion, and Zhang Yunyi led the bomb squad to take the lead, but in the end he was forced to withdraw from the battle because the enemy was outnumbered. This uprising left the heroic name of more than 100 Huanghuagang martyrs, and also entered Zhang Yunyi's boldness, wisdom and organizational leadership.

Zhang Yunyi was a veteran of the democratic revolution because he was a fellow villager of Soong Ching-ling and had an old friendship with Dr. Sun Yat-sen; not only did he have personal friends with many important figures of the Kuomintang, including Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Zhang Xueliang, and others, but he was also a classmate at the same desk as Xue Yue, and the generals of the Whampoa Military Academy also referred to him as a division commander. Within his party, he was also respected. Including Ye Ting as the commander of the New Fourth Army, he also personally invited him to leave a reputation as "big brother" everywhere in the army.
Family portrait after the founding of New China
The general fought in the front, and a story was left in the rear. According to the Zhang Yunyi Memorial Hall, when General Zhang was still serving in the New Guangdong Army, he had a married wife at home. But because he fought abroad all year round, he did not conceive a child. And when he returned home again, there was suddenly a young girl in the house, and she claimed to be his second wife. It turned out that according to the old tradition, he continued the fireworks in the house, and after discussing with the old man, he decided to marry a virtuous girl and let him take it with him to stay for the Zhang family.
Zhang Yunyi, who had already accepted the new ideas of the revolution, could not laugh or cry when he saw that he was entitled to such an "oolong." Who knew that he cried, and his wife also cried, and she was determined to keep Mrs. Erfang. The key is that Mrs. Erfang mistakenly thought that he was going to repent of the marriage and cried more fiercely than their original couple. In desperation, he had to compromise, according to the tradition of polygamy and related etiquette at that time, he was allowed to hold a post-wedding wedding, and until later he was accompanied by two beautiful relatives, which is also a testimony of the senior generals of our army entering the new society from the old era.

Zhang Yunyi is a sweet potato in the Kuomintang. When he was already a general, Chiang Kai-shek was still a middle-level cadre. Because of his relationship with Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to transfer him to his side after he became commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army. But his old commander, Zhang Fakui, did nothing. But what Zhang Fakui did not expect was that Zhang Yunyi had already joined the Communist Party.
After the first rupture of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Zhang Yunyi returned to the organization and followed the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao in the southern and northern wars. During the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it also traveled between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to promote the construction and implementation of the united front. When the whole army conferred the rank in 1955, Chairman Mao told the relevant personnel: This person is not ordinary! Directly make him a general. Zhou Enlai personally set Zhang Yunyi's rank as the marshal's living treatment.
General Memorial
It is a pity that due to fatigue during the war years, Zhang Yunyi suffered from serious illness in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but he tried his best to do what he could. In 1974, he died of illness. For historical reasons, especially in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he spent most of his illnesses. People know more or less about him. But in the Zhang Yunyi Memorial Hall in Wenchang City, the rich history of the general was left. Walking into the special style of the memorial garden, people will connect the revolution of old China and the history of new China. Among them, the life of the general is a living fossil of history, which tells people to never forget the past!
