In 1955, when the title was awarded, China awarded the rank of 10 senior generals with outstanding military achievements: Su Yu, Xu Haidong, Huang Kecheng, Chen Geng, Tan Zheng, Xiao Jinguang, Zhang Yunyi, Luo Ruiqing, Wang Shusheng, and Xu Guangda. On March 25, 1989, General Xiao Jinguang died, and all the founding generals with outstanding achievements passed away.
However, there is an old Chinese saying called "Shomen Tiger", although the founding general has passed away, but they have cultivated a number of excellent children, including 2 lieutenant generals and 9 major generals. However, there are also some founding generals who are willing to be bland and become ordinary people like you and me.
Today, we will take a look at what kind of life experience the children of the ten great generals have.

The children of the ten founding generals have different lives, some inherit the wishes of their fathers and continue to struggle in the front-line posts of national defense, some devote themselves to the vast construction of the country, and some work hard in the most ordinary posts.
It is this different path of life that allows us to see the clean family style of the ten generals, and to see that their children are shining in all walks of life in China by relying on their true talents and practical learning.
The ten great generals came from the people, and their children returned to the people, and this is the point that deserves our most admiration.
So, do you think that the descendants of the ten great generals can be called the "tiger of the gate"?
