After Ye Ting and his wife died in an air crash, the descendants ended up: the eldest son became a lieutenant general and the grandson became a famous director.

He was one of the founders of the China People's Liberation Army, the first commander of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the most famous strategist, politician and revolutionary leader in modern China. His life was full of ups and downs, legends and blood.

But fate made him leave the world with a particularly sorry attitude. On April 8, 1946, General Ye Ting left the prison with the efforts of all parties, and flew to Yan 'an with his family. As a result, the plane crashed and General Ye Ting died, along with his wife, five daughters and young son.

He left, but his spirit never left. When Chairman Mao learned of his death, he was very sad. He published a eulogy in Liberation Daily, saying, "Die for the people, though it is glorious to die." His children also inherited his ambition and became people when they grew up.

On September 1th, 1896, Ye Ting was born in Zhoutian Village, Huiyang County, Guangdong Province, a farmer's family. In that stormy era, many people were displaced, and many families were ruined. Farmers wanted to plow in Longmu, facing the loess and facing the sky, and worked hard to get a stable life, but it was impossible after all, and Ye Ting's family was no exception.

Destined misfortune can't bury a person's struggle. Although he was born in a poor peasant family, he has a positive and enterprising heart, and his family also supports him. He hopes that he can get ahead and get a stable life through reading, so he gritted his teeth and sent him to school.

Ye Ting got excellent grades when he was studying. He was admitted to Guangzhou Army Primary School in 1912. In that chaotic era, becoming a soldier might change the world. At the age of eighteen, he had made the ambition of "making Qiang Bing rich".

Ye Ting performed exceptionally well during his school days. In 1917, Ye Ting entered the Engineering Department of Baoding Army Academy with excellent results. This school trained many famous soldiers in the modern history of China. Soon after graduation, he joined the Guangdong Army led by Sun Yat-sen, and in the same year, he joined the China Nationalist Party. He followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen to preach for the future of China and contribute to the revolutionary cause.

The passion of teenagers will inherit their worries about the future and destiny of the motherland, but in that complex era, variables may occur at any time. In June, 1922, Chen Jiongming, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong Army, who had always respected Sun Yat-sen, rebelled against the revolution and led troops to besiege Sun Yat-sen's presidential palace.

Ye Ting, 28, led his men to fight fiercely with the rebels, and covered Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling, Sun Yat-sen's wife, out of danger. At that time, Ye Ting had already shown his extraordinary military talents.

after the cooperation between the two parties, Ye Ting and a group of revolutionary leaders of the * * * production party went to Moscow, the Soviet Union to study. They studied in the Oriental Workers' * * Productive University and the China Class of the Red Army School successively. They had a firm belief in * * * production, joined the China Socialist Youth League in October 1924, and soon transferred to the China * * production party.

In 1926, Dr. Sun Yat-sen led the Northern Expedition, and Ye Ting responded positively. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, it was very smooth, and most of the reactionary warlord forces, including the main forces of the great warlords Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, were wiped out, and staged victories were achieved. The troops led by Ye Ting repeatedly made their outstanding achievements. He was known as the "Great Northern Expedition" and his independent regiment of the Fourth Army also had the title of "Iron Army".

Ye Ting's army was disciplined and enthusiastic about the revolution. In just half a year, the independent regiment moved to Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi provinces, marching thousands of miles and winning every battle. Four battles played a key role in promoting the victory of the Northern Expedition, so the independent regiment received strong support and cooperation from the broad masses of the people.

After the staged victory in the Northern Expedition, senior generals within the Kuomintang, such as Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, rebelled against the revolution. Not only that, they also began to slaughter the * * * producers, and launched a white terrorist incident that shocked the whole country. Countless * * producers and countless outstanding revolutionary leaders died during this period.

China's * * * production party learned lessons from this incident and understood the truth that "political power comes from the barrel of a gun". China's * * * production party began to actively create its own military forces and lead the uprising.

after realizing the importance of the armed struggle, in 1927, a group of people of insight from the * * * production party launched the Nanchang Uprising. The China * * production party began to lead the armed struggle and create the revolutionary army independently, and Ye Ting was an important leader. Soon after, he participated in and led Guangzhou enterprises, became the commander-in-chief of the Red Army and became one of the founders of the People's Liberation Army.

However, the Guangzhou Uprising ended in failure, and Ye Ting was forced to go into exile overseas. He was always unwilling to go along with the reactionary forces and tried his best to get in touch with the China * * * production party. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Ye Ting returned to China, supported the cooperation and unity of the country against Japan, and personally went to Yan 'an to meet with Mao Zedong, expressing his complete acceptance of the leadership of the China * * * production party.

In January 1938, Ye Ting became the first commander of the New Fourth Army, but no one expected that soon after the second cooperation between China and the United States, the Kuomintang die-hards set off the second anti-* * climax, and some Kuomintang reactionaries and die-hards attacked the headquarters of the New Fourth Army and troops stationed in southern Anhui, creating the Southern Anhui Incident that shocked China and foreign countries.

Ye Ting was unfortunately arrested, and the Kuomintang reactionaries imprisoned him. Facing the threats and inducements of the reactionary forces, Ye Ting never gave in. He wrote the famous "Prison Song" in prison.

"The door for people to get in and out is locked, and the hole for dogs to climb out is open" exposes the ugly behavior of Kuomintang reactionaries, "I deserve eternal life in fire and blood" shows the great integrity of revolutionaries, and expresses the lofty aspiration of devoting myself to the revolution, but in one word, the general finally left this world in the raging fire after the plane crash.

In this way, Ye Ting was detained by the Kuomintang reactionaries for five years, and he traveled back and forth to Shangrao Enshi, Guilin, Chongqing and other places. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, he was released by the Kuomintang reactionaries through various efforts and research by the Central Committee. After leaving prison, Ye Ting's first thing was to join the China * * * production party.

On March 4th, 1946, Ye Ting was released. On March 5th, 1946, Ye Ting immediately called, and the Central Committee of China * * * requested to rejoin the China * * Production Party. The Central Committee of China * * * replied to his request and decided to accept him to join the Party. He has devoted more than 2 years to the liberation and revolutionary cause of the Chinese nation, and rejoining the Party is his long-cherished wish.

on March 8, Ye Ting decided to fly from Chongqing to Yan' an, but no one expected that a great revolutionary general would fall at this time. Ye Ting and his family hurried to Yan' an, the revolutionary holy land and the ideal holy land in his mind, but he failed to reach Yan' an after all, and the plane crashed. He died with his family accompanying him at the age of 5.

It is clear that the peaceful and prosperous times he yearned for are just around the corner, but he left this world forever. When the bad news happened, the whole country was saddened. A great revolutionary general in China's modern history fell, and President Mao Zedong was also very sad after learning the news. He published a eulogy of "Die for the people, die with honor" in Liberation Daily.

In the plane crash, General Ye Ting, his wife Li Xiuwen, his daughter Yang Mei, his youngest son A Jiu, and Wang Ruofei, Deng Fa and Qin Bangxian who were on the same plane were all killed, but his six children, the eldest son Ye Zhengda was only 19 years old, the youngest son Ye Qiguang was only 4 years old, and the 4-year-old Ye Qiguang could not even fully understand the word "death", but he lost his father and mother forever.

Chairman Mao took General Ye Ting's children to Yan 'an, and he said to them affectionately, "Our home is your home." Others have also given great care and sympathy to these children. Premier Zhou Enlai, who has a good relationship with General Ye Ting, raised General Ye Yangmei as his own daughter.

Zhou Enlai and his wife Deng Yingchao also gave great care to other children of General Ye Ting, treating them as their own. Ye Zhengming, the second son of General Ye Ting, inherited his father's unfinished liberation cause, and he was determined to become a man like his father.

On April 15th, 1946, Ye Zhengming wrote a eulogy entitled "To the Dead Father and Mother". The sadness in the eulogy made people cry. At that time, he was not an adult, but because of his father's influence, he had a profound influence on the revolution. After all, he was the child who stayed with Ye Ting for the longest time during Ye Ting's imprisonment.

Ye Zhengming was born in 1931. Ye Zhengming was only 11 years old when he was imprisoned with his father, but he always showed the same dignity as his father. He didn't compromise at all in the face of threats and inducements from the Kuomintang reactionaries, and he struggled to survive under the supervision of the Kuomintang reactionaries. Ye Ting also liked this child very much, praising him as a "good boy with backbone and not afraid of evil forces."

When his father died, he was only 15 years old. Faced with his father's death, his heart was filled with great sadness. He decided to inherit his father's great achievements and continue his unfinished work. Premier Zhou Enlai personally gave him the words "smell the chicken and dance, and be a good son of a revolutionary general".

Ye Zhengming always kept all this in mind. In 1955, after graduating from the Aircraft Manufacturing Department of Moscow Aeronautical Institute of the Soviet Union and returning to China, Ye Zhengming became the president of the Master Design Institute of Songlin Machinery Factory. He participated in the design and development of five types of aircraft and made great contributions to the development of military science and technology in the motherland. In 1988, he was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General, and he was an excellent general in New China.

In memory of his father, he wrote the book Father in Children's Memories-Ye Ting, which is an important material for studying the life of General Ye Ting.

Ye Zhengming's brother, Ye Zhengda, the eldest son of General Ye Ting, is equally outstanding. He was the first batch of aviation experts trained in New China. His father's death gave him great stimulation. He studied hard and then went to study in the Soviet Union. After his graduation, he devoted himself to the aerospace field, developed China's own aircraft and trained China's aerospace talents. Ye Zhengda was also awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Both brothers contributed greatly to the development of China's aerospace industry.

General Ye Ting's fourth son was named Huaming Ye. When General Ye Ting died, Huaming Ye was only 1 years old. He grew up under the care of the revolutionary generals of the Red Army. Zhou Enlai, Nie Rongzhen, Mao Zedong and others always treated him as their own children. Huaming Ye was educated by them and grew into a great man.

In order to better develop and serve the motherland, Huaming Ye studied hard all the time, and was always among the best in school. Later, he was given the opportunity to study abroad. After returning to China, he became an expert on surface-to-air missiles in New China, laying the foundation for the missile development in New China.

It is worth mentioning that Huaming Ye wanted to be a pilot at the earliest time. Although he was young when his father died, he was always worried about it. He felt that the plane accident that his father suffered was due to the poor quality of the plane and the poor skills of the pilot. Being a pilot and becoming an aircraft designer were his dreams when he was young.

Huaming Ye told Marshal Nie Rongzhen, who has been taking good care of him. Considering that four people in Ye's family have died in an air crash, he didn't want Huaming Ye to tie his life to the plane, so he suggested that Huaming Ye apply for Harbin Institute of Technology, hoping that he could contribute his own strength to the development of military science and technology in the motherland.

However, when he learned that the motherland needed talents in the field of missile development, he chose to become a missile expert without hesitation. At first, Huaming Ye studied aero-engine technology under General Gan Kun. Because of his excellent performance, he was sent to Moscow Military Aeronautical Engineering Institute to study and engage in missile research after returning home.

He is the first batch of experts in the development of surface-to-air missiles in New China, and has contributed his own strength to the missile development in New China. During the period of reform and opening-up, Huaming Ye founded Shenke Company in Shenzhen and devoted himself to the economic construction of the motherland. From an expert on surface-to-air missiles to the head of a science and technology company, Huaming Ye has always made his own contribution to the development of the motherland in his own field.

General Ye Ting's eldest son, second son and fourth son devoted themselves to the research in the field of military science and technology, and devoted themselves to the strength of the motherland's military strength. Other children of General Ye Ting were also excellent and always showed firm patriotic enthusiasm.

Ye Ting's other son, Ye Zhengguang, graduated from the Department of Modern Physics of the University of Science and Technology of China and studied missile automatic control technology. He is a missile expert like his brother Huaming Ye. After the reform and opening up, he turned to the economic field and contributed his own strength to China's economic development.

He founded the first batch of scientific, technological, energy-saving and environmental protection companies in China, and made great contributions to China's scientific, technological and economic development after the reform and opening up. Deng Xiaoping appreciated him very much. Embarked on the road of business, he not only has a high talent in the field of missile research, but also has made outstanding achievements in the commercial field, and is one of the first people to respond to Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening up policy.

Ye Qiguang, the eighth son of Ye Ting, graduated from Harbin Military Industry and should have been engaged in the development of military science and technology. After the reform and opening up, he actively responded to the policy and joined the business world. He is the chairman of Ye's Huanxin Group.

When his father died, Ye Qiguang was only 4 years old, but the teachings of people around him and his brothers and sisters made him always admire his father. Influenced by his father, Ye Qiguang has been doing well in his studies. He is a real schoolmaster, and he can be rewarded by the school every semester.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Daying, the grandson of General Ye Ting, is also an excellent talent. Unlike his parents who developed and contributed their strength in the military, scientific and technological fields or commercial fields, Ye Daying chose to shine in the film and television industry. He graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and Ye Daying, who is a director, is a famous male director and screenwriter in China.

On November 1st, 1996, Ye Daying filmed the drama Red Cherry, which tells a cruel and warm story during World War II. He also won the Best Director Award at the 5th Pyongyang International Film Festival for Non-Aligned and Developing Countries. Later, he also filmed revolutionary historical drama "Xi 'an Incident" and National Day tribute film "Tiananmen Square" and other works.

It is said that like a tiger father, like a son, Ye Ting deserves everyone's respect. As one of the founding strategists of China, he made contributions to the revolutionary work.
