This is a set of old photos of the only mixed-race beautiful colonel in the Chinese army during the Republic of China.
Her name is Ariani Li, and she is the daughter of Li Baotang, Major General Staff of the 13th Army Command of the direct troops of Tang Enbo, and she was also the only mixed-race beauty colonel in the Chinese army at that time.
Historical records show that Ariani Li's grandfather Li Jialiang was the ambassador of the National Government to the Soviet Union in 1923. At that time, Li Baotang, the father of Ariani Li, also studied and lived in the Soviet Union together. During this period, he met Ariani Li's mother. After the two got married, they had Ariani Li.
Ariyani Lee and her mother took a photo in front of her father's portrait.
Ariyani Li grew up Advancement War also broke out. Under the influence of her father, she joined the army and later became a staff officer. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War , Ariyani Li entered the northeast with the 13th Army. Due to his special identity of Russian mixed-race, he was responsible for the liaison work with the Soviet garrisons in Shenyang and Manzhouli for 9 months.

Chinese 1. Marrying a foreigner and having a few beautiful mixed-race children is probably the dream of many Chinese. Many Chinese beauties now like to marry foreigners, probably this is the reason.
However, it is unexpected that in the early days of the Republic of China, when China was the weakest, many people actually married foreign wives, among which many girls from Japan and the former Soviet Union married to China.
First talk about Japan. In fact, in , the Qing Dynasty began to invade China. However, in the early days of the Republic of China, celebrities at that time, Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek and others had all had scandals with Japanese women, and Kang Youwei , Guo Moruo , Gu Hongming , Jiang Baili , Su Buqing , Zhou Zuoren , Hongyi , etc. These Chinese elites directly married Japanese women, and some even became second and third bedrooms.
In addition to Japan, many Chinese married Russian girls back then, especially those who studied in the Soviet Union during the Republic of China. Many of them married Russian girls. Some netizens described that almost everyone in the Chinese students back then had a foreign girl, and they were all foreign girls chasing them. This really makes contemporary Chinese men feel a little ashamed.
When it comes to Russian wives, the ones that everyone is most familiar with should be Jiang Ching-kuo and his wife Finna. This is a typical case of a well-known international student bringing his wife back from Russia. There are also Xiao San, Li Lisan, Wang Bingnan and others who also married wives in Russia or Germany during the same period.

In short, it was not difficult for a Chinese man to marry a wife from Europe or Japan at that time. Yu Demei, honorary dean of the Confucius Institute in Berlin, told the media the story of how her Chinese father married a German girl. She said that at that time, most German women had not received higher education, and adult women were generally housewives, and their social role was more to take care of their husbands and children. At that time, most Chinese students rented their homes in German people, so it was not surprising that Chinese men were not difficult to marry German girls as wives.
Germany is actually similar to Russia. After reading these, we seem to have found the answer, because foreign women had a relatively low social status back then, and Chinese men knew how to love their wives. So it is no surprise that international students have become popular abroad.
