Today Aunt Thirteen introduces the story of a family. Three generations of grandchildren have served as state leaders, and the official positions have reached the vice-national level, and readers who may love history here may think of the name of this family.
The family that Aunt Thirteen is talking about is the famous Liao family in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. We started from the generation of Liao Zhongkai, Liao Zhongkai was an elder figure in the Xinhai Revolution, and when he fought the world with Sun Yat-sen, the relationship with Sun Yat-sen naturally did not have to be said, and the good could not be better.
Not only that, the reason why Chiang Kai-shek was able to finally serve as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy that year was that Liao Zhongkai made great efforts. Undoubtedly, Liao Zhongkai's legendary deeds are enough to write a big book, and it is already remarkable that such a figure in the Liao family has emerged. Do you think that's the end of it? Far from it!

Liao Zhongkai's wife, He Xiangning, did not allow her eyebrows to be raised, and Chairman Mao once called He Xiangning "Lady Liao". Don't underestimate this title, people who can get such a title as Chairman Mao are difficult to find except for a very small number of people such as Soong Ching Ling.
After the founding of New China in 1949, He Xiangning successively served as a member of the Central People's Government and vice chairman of the Second and Third National People's Congress Committees (vice-state level). In her later years, He Xiangning has been working for the cause of national reunification, and this is a great woman.
After talking about Mrs. Liao Zhongkai, we will continue to talk about Liao Zhongkai's son Liao Chengzhi, who is said to have been named to inherit his father's ambitions. As the saying goes, "a tiger father has no dog", Liao Chengzhi was influenced by his parents, and he took the participation in the revolution as his life ambition at a very young age.
Although he came from a famous family, he did not take this as his own development capital, and he joined the Communist Party of China at the lowest tide of the CCP revolution. Here is an interesting thing, Liao Chengzhi has been arrested and imprisoned many times, but the result is that he can miraculously survive every time. (Estimated father blessed~)
In March 1949, Liao Chengzhi was added as a member of the Central Committee at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of great historical significance. Since 1978, Liao Chengzhi has served as director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, secretary of the party leading group, and director of the Hong Kong office, and he has made significant contributions to the cause of national reunification.
Liao Chengzhi is a member of the Standing Committee of the First and Fourth National People's Congresses and vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress. He is an alternate member of the Seventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, a member of the Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Central Committees, and a member of the Twelfth Politburo of the Central Committee. (Vice-national level, are you cows or cows?) ）
After talking about Liao Zhongkai's wife and son, it should be Liao Zhongkai's grandson Liao Hui. Since he has the guidance of his grandparents and father, Liao Hui is naturally not far behind, and since he was a child, under the good family education, Liao Hui has the determination to serve the country.
Liao Hui began serving as the director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council in 1984, becoming the youngest ministerial-level cadre at that time. From 1997, when he served as the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the secretary of the party leading group, at the age of 61, he was elected as the vice chairman of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and became the leader of our country, and he made important contributions to promoting the return of Hong Kong and Macao to the motherland.
Such a family whose grandchildren have been the leaders of the country for three generations is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
