In modern times, there is a Yunnan Lecture Hall that has cultivated many talents, including not only Kuomintang generals Zhu Peide, Wang Jun, Jin Handing, Tang Huaiyuan, Fan Shisheng, Hu Ying, Sun Du, Long Yun, Lu Han, and Sheng Shicai, but also Lee Fan-yi, the first prime minister and minister of national defense of the ROK, Wu Haiqiu, chairman of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam, Marshal Choi Yong-kin, commander-in-chief of the Korean People's Army, and vice chairman of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
This military academy also trained two founding marshals for our party: Zhu De (the 3rd infantry science student) and Ye Jianying (the 12th artillery science student).
Ye Jianying, who was very handsome, was not only a graduate of the military academy, but also had a very good academic and literary style, known as a "Confucian general." Chairman Mao once said to Chen Yi: "The Seven Laws of Sword Yingshan and the Five Laws of Dong Laoshan, if you want to learn the laws and poems, you can ask them for advice." ”

Ye Jianying was born in 1897 in Meixian County, Guangdong Province. When he graduated from Dongshan Middle School in Meixian County at the age of 18, he wrote down the strong words of "Success is Zhou Wu Sanqian, defeat is Tian Heng 500, can often be changed, can be born and died", talent is talent, early years are revealed! After graduating, he entered the military circles, from the Staff Officer of the Guangdong Army, to the Artillery Instructor, and later to the Battalion Commander of the Marine Corps.
In 1922, the commander of the Cantonese army, Chen Jiongming, defected and shelled the presidential palace, and the 25-year-old marine battalion commander Ye Jianying led the troops to escort Sun Yat-sen out of danger, and Sun Yat-sen liked Ye Jianying very much.
After that, Ye Jianying participated in the preparation of the Whampoa Military Academy and served as the deputy director of the professorial department, and he could enter and exit Chiang Kai-shek's bedroom without a notice and a sword.
Among the ten marshals of New China, Ye Jianying was the only one who had worked under Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek and was deeply trusted.
On April 12, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek staged a counter-revolutionary coup. Ye Jianying resolutely telegraphed against Jiang. He then went to Wuhan and served as chief of staff of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army. In July, he secretly joined the Chinese Communist Party amid a white terror.
Those who joined our party during the worst period of the White Terror were all true believers, and such people are very remarkable!
On the eve of the Nanchang Uprising, Ye Jianying was already the chief of staff of the Fourth Army of the Second Front. That is to say, before the establishment of our army, Ye Jianying was a military-level cadre and was very influential in the military circles.
In September 1955, Ye Jianying, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai and others were awarded the rank of marshal at the same time, and were called "Ten Marshals". During this period, Ye Jianying successively served as vice chairman of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government, vice chairman of the National Defense Commission of the People's Republic of China, director of the Supervision Department of the Armed Forces of the people's liberation army Chinese, and president and political commissar of the Academy of Military Sciences.
In January 1965, Ye Jianying was elected vice chairman of the Fourth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and in January 1966, he was appointed vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, presiding over the daily work of the Central Military Commission. In August, he was elected as a member of the Politburo at the Eleventh Plenary Session of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In March 1978, he was appointed Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress and in September 1982 he was appointed a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo.
Ye Jianying, an outstanding leader who has long held important leadership positions in the party, the state, and the army, has won the common respect of the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country.
In his long revolutionary career, Ye Jianying had 5 wives (in his early years, he had an arranged marriage in his hometown and had no children, so it was not counted).
In early 1924, Ye Jianying married Feng Hua, a medical worker, in Guangzhou. In November of that year, he gave birth to the eldest son, Ye Xuanping, and in 1928, he gave birth to the eldest daughter Ye Chumei.
Ye Xuanping graduated from the Mechanical Department of Yan'an Academy of Natural Sciences, and since the 1980s, he has served as vice governor of Guangdong Province, mayor of Guangzhou, governor of Guangdong Province, and was elected vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in 1991.
Ye Xuanping's wife, Wu Xiaolan, was also from a famous family and was the granddaughter of Wu Yuzhang, one of the "Five Elders of Yan'an". Wu Xiaolan, a former vice mayor of Shenzhen, is twins with her sister Wu Dalan, and their mother, Wu Chunlan, is Wu Yuzhang's only daughter.
When Ye Chumei was 17 years old, he was sent by his father Ye Jianying to the ice-cold northeast for tempering, became a soldier of the Northeast Democratic Coalition Army, and served as the deputy director of the Machine Tool Bureau of the Ministry of Machinery Industry after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Ye Chumei's husband is Zou Jiahua, who served as a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, vice premier of the State Council, and vice chairman of the National People's Congress, and his father was Zou Taofen, an outstanding political activist and journalist during the Republic of China period.
His son Ye Xuanping and son-in-law Zou Jiahua were both deputy state leaders, and only Ye Jianying had such an honor among the founding fathers.
In 1928, Ye Jianying married 18-year-old Zeng Xianzhi in Guangzhou. Zeng Xianzhi was the younger brother of Zeng Guofan.
The Zeng family is one of the most famous Houmen wang clans in history, and a number of famous diplomats, poets, educators and scientists such as Zeng Jize, Zeng Guangjun, Zeng Guangquan, Zeng Zhaoxuan, Zeng Baosun, Zeng Yunong, zeng Xianzhi and so on appeared.
Zeng Xianzhi's appearance is very high, and her marriage with Ye Jianying lasted for ten years, which is the longest of several wives. The two had a son, Ye Xuanning.

Wei Gongzhi's marriage to Ye Jianying lasted for a short time. In 1940, Ye Jianying married Wu Bo in Chongqing. Wu Bo was a native of Shanghai and was then a confidential officer of the Chongqing Hongyan Organ of the Southern Bureau. In 1941, Wu Bo gave birth to a daughter for Ye Jianying, named Ye Xiangzhen.
Ye Xiangzhen was lingzi, the director of the later famous film "The Wilderness", her ex-husband was the famous pianist Liu Shikun, and after the divorce she married Qian Zhuangfei's grandson Luo Dan. Qian Zhuangfei was one of the "Three Masters of Longtan" on the early hidden front of our party, and his meritorious service was outstanding.
Wu Bo's marriage to Ye Jianying also came to an end later. At the end of 1948, Ye Jianying, who was then the mayor of Beiping, married Li Gang, a cadet of north China Military and Political University, in Beiping. The two had a son and a daughter, the son was Ye Xuanlian, and the daughter was Ye Wenshan.
Ye Xuanlian was the chairman and president of Kelly Company, a subsidiary of China Poly Group, and the chairman of Shenzhen Guoye Industrial Co., Ltd. His wife, Sultan Dan, is an artist who starred in the film The Tale of Bago. There was once a woman named Zhao Xinyu, who called herself "the first lady in Beijing", who openly said on the Internet that her husband was Ye Xuanlian, which greatly increased Ye Xuanlian's popularity on the Internet.
Ye Wenshan successively served as vice chairman of Hainan Overseas Chinese Investment Co., Ltd. and chairman of Hong Kong Asia-Pacific Bende Co., Ltd., and her husband was Yu Hao, a major general of the People's Liberation Army.
