In March 2003, Beijing's early spring was warm and cold, eighty-five-year-old Xiang Huifang, in a hospital in Beijing, closed his eyes peacefully, a few days later her memorial service, solemnly held, the funeral scene, Xiang Huifang was covered with the party flag, many old chiefs, and old comrades-in-arms, sent wreaths, a lot of old Balu personally came to participate in her farewell ceremony, the whole funeral was very grand, it can be said that the mourning was honored.
Many people may wonder why Xiang Huifang, as Huang Yongsheng's wife, is labeled as the "wife of the Four Great King Kongs"? In fact, after learning about Xiang Huifang's story, everyone will find that she is a respectable woman.
Xiang Huifang is a native of Baoding, Hebei Province, after graduating from normal school, she chose to join the revolution, in 1938, the flames of the War of Resistance against Japan burned on the land of China, Xiang Huifang resolutely responded to the call, joined the Eighth Route Army, became a brave anti-Japanese fighter.
She is not only a person who actively demands progress, but also a person who has the courage to take responsibility. On the battlefield, she served as a nurse in a field hospital, caring for the wounded with her care and love, and she also served as the women's minister of Wanxian County, contributing to the cause of women's liberation.
On the battlefield, Xiang Huifang became acquainted with Huang Yongsheng, commander of the Third Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. Although the two are 8 years apart, their hearts are tightly connected and they love each other deeply. After marriage, Xiang Huifang became a mother, but she was not satisfied with the comfort of the family, but entrusted the child to the nursery, and she continued to work without hesitation.
After liberation, Xiang Huifang was transferred to Guangdong with her husband. She not only served as a principal in primary and secondary schools, but also served in the General Staff, showing her talent and ability. She is well-disciplined and easy-going, and is highly respected by her colleagues and friends.
In that special era, Huang Yongsheng, as one of the "Four King Kongs" under Lin Biao, often appeared in public. However, Xiang Huifang seemed out of place with several others, she rarely participated in party activities, and she always stayed out of some special and sensitive things. This low-key and cautious attitude enabled her to resolutely draw a line with her husband after Huang Yongsheng was investigated.
In fact, before this, the relationship between the two was already relatively cold. Therefore, Xiang Huifang decided to apply for divorce from her husband. Huang Yongsheng, who is in prison, also agreed. In 1981, Huang Yongsheng was released on medical parole and was arranged to live in Qingdao by the organization. Two years later, he died of illness.
A few years later, Xiang Huifang retired from his job and enjoyed the retirement treatment of deputy division. Although she and her husband divorced, after their deaths, the children discussed bringing their ashes back to their hometown in Xianning, Hubei Province, and burying them together. Perhaps this is the good wish of their children to reconcile with them, hoping that they can be together again in another world.
