April 2, 1970, this day is undoubtedly an important moment in He Yingqin's life. On this day, he ushered in his 80th birthday, and many relatives and friends came to congratulate him.
On that day, He Yingqin wore a black suit and a bow tie, showing his solemnity and festivity. Amid the blessings of the crowd, he sat down to cut the cake. From the footage, we can see a special element - the cake has eight layers, symbolizing that he is a full 80 years old.
And beside He Yingqin, there was also an elderly woman, who was carrying a delicate small bag in her hand, wearing a cheongsam, and seemed to be talking to him about something. After identification, this woman was He Yingqin's wife, Wang Wenxiang. Although He Yingqin is already an old man, his body has always been very healthy and his thinking is clear.
Compared with some other celebrities, such as Tang Enbo, Hu Zongnan, Bai Chongxi and others, who have been living in the knot of losing power since Taipei, He Yingqin's mentality in his later years was very peaceful. Although he lost his military power and only held a few false positions, he was not in the mood to lose and imprisoned himself in the compound of the deep house. On the contrary, he likes to play cards, chess, and occasionally hang out with old friends, and live a leisurely life.
He Yingqin not only witnessed his 80th birthday, but also his 90th birthday. Just two years before his 100th birthday, he passed away peacefully at the age of 98, and his longevity was not only amazing.
He Yingqin has always been a controversial person, as a man of the year in the political arena of the Republic of China, he is old, an official to the commander-in-chief of the army, a proper military boss, He Yingqin used to be a red and purple figure around Jiang Zhongzheng, but as a pro-Japanese faction, many people do not have a high opinion of him, that is because He Yingqin has done several very controversial things in his life, the first is that he once secretly signed the "He Mei Agreement" with the Japanese military high-level, betraying the country's sovereignty, and the second is after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, As the commander of the Chinese theater, he was suspected of "bowing" to the Japanese, which was detrimental to the national prestige.
He Yingqin's status has always been not low, but he and Jiang Zhongzheng are inseparable, and the two are at odds with each other. Although He Yingqin is also an old warlord through and through, there is nothing to praise, but he is a good husband.
He Yingqin has only one wife in his life, that is, Wang Wenxiang, unfortunately the two of them have no children, and later He Yingqin adopted his niece He Lizhu as his daughter, Wang Wenxiang arrived in Taipei, suffering from cancer, He Yingqin never left her, and finally under the care of He Yingqin, she died in 1978.
