Among the Kuomintang warlords, Yang Sen was famous for his large number of wives and concubines. He had 12 public wives and 43 children.

Yang Sen has many children and has been fighting abroad for many years, so sometimes he can't figure out which of his children are...
Therefore, it is really impossible to figure out the whereabouts of his children now, but he can Those traced back to his sons Yang Hanxing, Yang Hanlie and fourth daughter Yang Xiaojie.
Yang Hanxing: Yang Hanxing, the eldest son of Yang Sen, had progressive ideas while studying at Tianjin Nankai Middle School and met Li Dazhao, one of the main founders of the Communist Party of China. Once, to commemorate the May 4th Movement, he was arrested while distributing leaflets on the streets. He was later bailed out by Yang Sen's old department and returned to Sichuan in disguise. Yang Sen sent him to Germany to study ordnance manufacturing. During the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Hanxing returned to China via the Soviet Union.
At that time, Yang Sen served as the commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army and was stationed in Pingjiang, Hunan. Yang Hanxing made a special trip to Pingjiang to persuade him not to be an enemy of the people. Father and son had a heated argument.
Yang Sen hopes that his eldest son can take the road of promotion and wealth and inherit his mantle in the future, while Yang Hanxing insists on the truth and remains unmoved. Seeing that his lustful power was not working, and at the same time in order to please Chiang Kai-shek and maintain his position, Yang Sen publicly published a statement in the newspaper and broke away from the father-son relationship with Yang Hanxing.
