Tutoring is a crucial part of traditional Chinese culture . Only good tutoring can help children grow up correctly and quickly. The longevity of many big families in China, such as the Zeng Guofan family and the Qian Xuesen family, is related to this.
Of course, there are more families where tutoring fails.
The person I want to talk to you about today who failed in tutoring is called Xiong Yingtang. Although he was once the secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee and was the founding major general in 1955, his neglect of the education of his children eventually led to his two twin sons being sentenced to death and executed.
1. A child from a poor family embarked on the road of revolution. He made outstanding contributions to the freedom, independence and liberation of the Chinese people. He became the founding major general, commander of the provincial military region and secretary of the provincial party committee.
Xiong Yingtang's father died of illness when he was 6 years old, which plunged the family into extreme poverty. After three years of hard work, Xiong Yingtang's brother starved to death again before he reached adulthood. What's even more tragic is that Xiong Yingtang's mother was also sold by the tribe (the money from the sale was completely divided by the evil-hearted tribesmen), leaving only 9-year-old Xiong Yingtang and his 5-year-old sister in the family. They were left alone and helpless.
The fleeing poor
That is a dark, damned world!
As a young boy, Xiong Yingtang could only hold tears and hatred, so he gave his sister to someone else as a child bride (to save his life). He went to work as a long-term laborer in the house of a bully landlord, which was the only way to save his life.
Xiong Yingtang's hometown is Huang'an, Hubei Province, which is the birthplace of the famous Red Four and one of the three general counties in China.
In 1928, Huang An started a Red Army . Xiong Yingtang, who was only 17 years old, immediately joined the Red Army without any hesitation. He wanted to follow this team of the poor and create an equal and happy world for the poor who were bullied like him in the world!
Xiong Yingtang was not afraid of death after joining the army. What was even more valuable was that he was good at using his brain when fighting, so he quickly became a squad leader, platoon leader and company commander.
By the time of the Long March, he had grown into the commander of the 29th Regiment of the 10th Division of the Fourth Red Army. After arriving in northern Shaanxi, he was selected to study at the Red Army Military and Political University. After graduating from the Red Army University, he was organized and sent to the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, and successively served as the battalion commander of the first battalion of the first regiment of the first detachment of the New Fourth Army, the commander of the first regiment, and the commander of the special task force of the New Fourth Army Military Headquarters.
During the Wannan Incident, Xiong Yingtang fought bravely rather than surrender. Finally, he led some soldiers of the special service group to break out of the encirclement and joined the newly established Seventh Division of the New Fourth Army. He served as the commander of the Seventh Division's independent regiment.
Later, during the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War, he participated in countless battles such as the Lunan Campaign, the Huaihai Campaign, the Crossing River Campaign, the Liberation of Shanghai, etc., and made countless meritorious service.
Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and Major General Xiong Yingtang
Xiong Yingtang, who was only 44 years old in 1955, was awarded the rank of major general. He successively served as commander of the Fourth Air Force, deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region and commander of the 20th Army, secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, commander of the Zhejiang Military Region, and commander of the Zhejiang Production and Construction Corps.
It can be said that Xiong Yingtang achieved his original purpose of joining the revolution: creating a new world for the poor!
2. The general who was bullied when he was young never imagined that his two twin sons would turn out to be evil young men who bully others!
It is very important for a man to marry a good wife. A good wife can prosper the family and husband, but a bad wife can harm the family, others, and himself.
When Xiong Yingtang arrived at the New Fourth Army Headquarters in southern Anhui, he met a beautiful 17-year-old female soldier named Yan Lu from the New Fourth Army Headquarters, and soon the two became passionate lovers. As one of the few senior leaders of our army who reached the level of the 258th Regiment, Xiong Yingtang soon married Yan Lu with the approval of the organization.
Female Soldiers of the New Fourth Army
In the early years of the difficult revolutionary period, Yan Lu performed very well, worked seriously and responsibly, and was the famous "Beauty Desperate Saburo" in the New Fourth Army.
But as the children continued to be born, Yan Lu showed special and unreasonable doting on the children. Especially as Xiong Ying's official position becomes larger and larger, this doting becomes stronger and stronger.
In 1952, 30-year-old Yan Lu gave birth to twin sons in Shanghai to 41-year-old Xiong Yingtang, deputy commander of Shanghai Security and commander of the Fourth Air Force.
Xiong Yingtang was overjoyed to have a son when he was in his 40s. He named his two sons Xiong Beiping and Xiong Ziping respectively.
Xiong Yingtang was born in a poor family and did not read books when he was young. Later, he was constantly fighting and had no time to study. Therefore, his cultural level was not high and he naturally did not understand the role of tutoring. In addition to being busy with work, Xiong Yingtang left all the discipline of his son to his wife Yan Lu.
Xiong Yingtang has seven children. The first two are twins. Erxiong
Yanlu gave birth to a child at an advanced age. He believed that he had suffered a lot for the revolution. Now that he is powerful, rich and powerful, he should not let his children suffer. So she was extremely indulgent and doting on her two sons.
A loving mother often fails, and it was Yan Lu's doting on her sons that ultimately led them to commit many evil deeds and reap the consequences.
1. Xiong Beiping and Xiong Ziping took advantage of the fact that they were the children of high-ranking cadres. When they were children, they committed mischief and bullied their classmates and teachers.
In school, although Er Xiong was so bad that teachers and students dared not speak out, it had not caused too much disaster. So when Xiong Yingtang heard that his two sons had a poor reputation, he decided to send them to the army to hone their skills.
This is really hurting the grassroots leaders of the army!
When Erxiong arrived in the army, he began to be arrogant, drink and make trouble, and indulge himself. Military discipline was just a decoration for them. The grassroots leaders of the army knew the identities of the two men and did not dare to punish them.
Xiong Beiping even raped a female soldier in the army, and the matter was finally suppressed.
The devil is in action
Erxiong felt that the army was no longer interesting, so he applied for discharge from the army, which was what the army wanted.
2. Erxiong, who was discharged from the army and joined a factory, became even more lawless and soon became a famous devil in Hangzhou! After
was discharged from the army and assigned to work in the factory, Erxiong came and left whenever he wanted. Together with other high-ranking officials and gangsters in society, they seduced and raped more than 140 women in more than four years!
Dancing is one of their methods of seducing young women.
One of their strongholds for committing crimes is Xiong Yingtang's single-family general villa, which is located in a part of the military zone on the edge of West Lake. This is a military restricted area. There are soldiers on duty, and the local police have no power to enter. Therefore, for a long time, the people of Hangzhou regarded this place as a wolf's den and a tiger's den.
Xiong Yingtang's villa became the nest of Erxiong's crime
When Erxiong harmed the people, Xiong Yingtang had been transferred to Sichuan to work. He did not know the viciousness of his sons for a long time. But Yan Lu was fully aware of her sons' behavior.
At that time, Xiong Yingtang still had a lot of power in Zhejiang. Whenever his son got into trouble, Yan Lu exerted his undue influence on the police and the victim, so Er Xiong was even more confident that the two of them would continue to do evil for a long time.
3. The Skynet was sparse and undisclosed. Er Xiong, who had committed many unjust acts, was finally caught. The news finally reached Xiong Yingtang’s ears. The general’s face turned ashen in an instant!
In October 1978, the injured citizens of Hangzhou could not bear the humiliation and finally jointly reported the Erxiong directly to the central government!
The central government has ordered a strict crackdown!
Tieying, then the first secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, directly ordered the arrest of Er Xiong.
Xiong Yingtang, who understood the situation, said to his secretary, "I am a failed father. You are not allowed to use my name to interfere with the handling of the case. Just do whatever you want..."
Erxiong quickly understood his father's attitude, and finally realized that things were no longer within his control. The elder brother Xiong Beiping has softened, but the younger brother Xiong Ziping is still arrogant.
The court finally pronounced: Xiong Beiping’s death was suspended, and Xiong Ziping’s death sentence was immediately executed.
Execution of the death penalty
Newspapers at the time
However, Xiong Beiping died after being imprisoned with a reprieve, because in prison, he had many fights with prisoners, and it is said that he committed suicide in the end.
Both brothers are still only 27 years old this year.
Conclusion: After Er Xiong was shot, Xiong Yingtang suffered a huge mental blow. Misfortunes never come singly, and he was soon found to have colluded with Lin Biao's anti-party group. He had to take the blame and resign, and has since faded out of people's sight. In 1996, 85-year-old Xiong Yingtang died of illness in Shanghai. I wonder if he deeply reflected on his failed family education when he was dying? As for the news about his wife Yan Lu, it was not known later.
