Speaking of Huang Xing, everyone must be familiar with it, he is Sun Yat-sen's most important assistant, and he can be called the second person in the early days of the Republic of China, Zhang Taiyan commented that he said: "No justice is no Republic of China, and there must be Si people in history." ”
But unfortunately, Huang Xing died of illness just 4 years after the establishment of the Republic of China, only 42 years old, which makes people sigh.
However, Huang Xing's revolutionary legacy did not disappear, and his son Huang Yiou inherited his father's legacy and became a great figure in the Republic of China period, and even Sun Yat-sen wanted to train him as his successor.

Huang Yi'ou is the eldest son of Huang Xing, born in 1892, under the influence of Huang Xing, from an early age determined to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty and save the country and the people from water and fire.
Huang Yiou has followed his father's revolution since he was 7 years old, and Huang Xing has also carefully cultivated him, and some people may ask: What can a 7-year-old child do for the revolution?
When he was 7 years old, he was already an experienced liaison officer, and it was precisely because of his identity as a child that no one would doubt him, allowing him to complete many tasks that adults could not complete.
At the age of 12, Huang Yi'ou followed his father to participate in the Huaxinghui Jiachen Uprising, and after the defeat, Huang Xing fled to Japan, Huang Yi'ou was identified by the Qing court as an important participant in the uprising, and he was Huang Xing's son, so he issued a national arrest warrant.
Issuing a national wanted warrant for a 12-year-old child is probably also very rare in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
Under the search of the Qing court, Huang Yi'ou had nowhere to hide, and finally went to Japan to continue the revolution with his father.
At the age of 15, Huang Xing saw that his revolutionary ideas had matured, so he intended to let him join the League. However, Huang Xing still has some concerns, afraid of others gossiping. However, after Sun Yat-sen saw Huang Yiou, he liked this able young man very much and personally introduced Huang Yiou to join the League. As a result, Huang Yiou became the youngest member of the League.
Soon, the League decided to launch the Guangzhou Uprising, and Huang Yi'ou was entrusted with the task of collecting weapons.
After Huang Yi'ou accepted the mission, he began to contact many parties, and finally bought 45 pistols and 12,000 rounds of ammunition. However, if the weapons are obtained, how can they be transported back to china?
He packed his weapons in 4 suitcases, disguised himself as Japanese, and transported the weapons to Hong Kong and then to Guangzhou. At that time, the situation in Guangzhou was very tense, the Qing court arrested people everywhere, in order to better cover himself, Huang Yiou was admitted to the patrol police coaching station in Guangzhou and became a patrol officer, and it was by virtue of this identity that he secretly transported the weapons he bought to various locations, laying a solid foundation for the Huanghuagang uprising.
On April 27, 1911, the Huanghuagang Uprising broke out on time, and although it failed in the end, Huang Yiou, as an important organizational leader, was recorded in the annals of history together with Huang Xing.
Huang Yiou, one of the few who survived the uprising, fled to Hong Kong, and in the summer of that year, he was revolutionary and returned to the mainland again, but the Qing court wanted him everywhere, and he could only flee to Japan again.
After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the campaign to restore Shanghai was quickly launched, at that time, Huang Yiou and Chen Qimei were bundled with explosives, took the lead in rushing to kill, and Shanghai was successfully restored.

Soon, the Shanghai army was formed, with Chen Qimei as the commander and Huang Yiou as the deputy commander, and the troops were pulled to Suzhou and began training.
Soon after, the Shanghai army received orders from Huang Xing to immediately capture Nanjing. Huang Yi'ou led the troops to Nanjing, because he commanded well, and it took only one night to capture Nanjing.
At the celebration meeting, Huang Yiou gave all his exploits to others, leaving only a few cannon barrels from the attack on Nanjing as a souvenir.
The Battle of Nanjing was very important in Huang Yiou's mind, and later, after his father Huang Xing died of illness, Huang Yiou also deliberately buried several cannon barrels with his father.
After the establishment of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen wanted Huang Yiou to be the commander of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Coalition Army, but Huang Xing felt that China was about to enter a period of peaceful construction and did not want him to lead troops, so he sent him to study abroad.
But at this time, Cai Yi was put under house arrest by Yuan Shikai and secretly sent his plan to overthrow Yuan to Huang Xing, who sent Huang Yiou to try to rescue Cai Yi. After running from many quarters, Huang Yi'ou successfully rescued Cai Yi and arranged for him to come to Japan.
During his time in Japan, Huang Yi'ou skillfully maneuvered with the people sent by Yuan Shikai to monitor, and did not leave Cai E's side, and finally, Cai Yi obtained support such as weapons and ammunition from Japan, and after returning to Yunnan, launched the famous Patriotic War.
Sun Yat-sen was very appreciative of Huang Yi'ou and appointed him as a major general in the presidential palace, but unfortunately Huang Xing fell seriously ill, and Huang Yi'ou came to his father's side and took care of him until his death.
After Huang Xing's death, Huang Yi'ou was even more relied upon by Sun Yat-sen, and even Sun Yat-sen thought of cultivating him as his successor.
However, Sun Yat-sen unfortunately died of illness in 1925, and Huang Yiou was very unaccustomed to Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei and others, so he simply disarmed and returned to the field, living in seclusion in his hometown of Hunan, and not asking about the world.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist Government invited him to come out of the mountains, but Huang Yi'ou politely refused, saying to his family: "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, the chiang regime and the people's grievances are boiling, and the defeat is already decided." ”
In 1949, Cheng Qian, Chen Mingren and others planned the Hunan Uprising, and Huang Yiou also actively participated and made no small contribution.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huang Yiou served as vice chairman of the Hunan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and died of illness in 1981 at the age of 90.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Huang Yiou also has 4 younger brothers, named Huang Yizhong, Huang Yimei, Huang Yiqiu, and Huang Yihuan, do you see what it means? Huang Xing's ambition is really not small!
