If someone asks who the founding major general is, I believe there should be many names in everyone's mind. This identity not only brings them supreme honor, but also proves that they have a symbol of their lifetime during the war.
Heroes who won this honor all fought step by step in the cruel war, but some people rely on their fathers to be in a high position and do not take others seriously at all.
111-14, Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court gathered many people and state cadres, all of whom looked at two men with the same appearance. For a moment, countless curses and unstoppable crying came from the crowd. After the court recited the two of them all their crimes, they sentenced them to death on the spot. Thunderous applause and cheers immediately sounded.
The two who were sentenced to death are twins. What's so strange about this?
The key is that the father of these two people is Xiong Yingtang, the founding major general.

Xiong Yingtang was born in Huang'an County, Hubei Province in 1911. Life was very difficult when he was a child. His father died when he was 6 years old. His mother was sold by his relatives at home when he was 9 years old. His sister was soon sent by his relatives as a child bride. The relatives separated him one by one. He had to rely on his own efforts to make a living by working hard for others. The revolutionary campaign in various places is getting more and more intense, and Xiong Yingtang's hometown has also begun to organize revolutionary activities. At the age of 16, he embarked on the revolutionary journey for the first time.
1928, the Red Army team passed by Xiong Yingtang's hometown. Xiong Yingtang immediately decided to follow the Red Army. The leaders of the Red Army saw that he was young and hoped that the young man would think twice, but Xiong Yingtang firmly believed in his ideas. In this way, he brought his haircut tools and embarked on this path full of dangers and responsibilities.
When he first joined the Red Army, Xiong Yingtang didn't know a big word and had never fought a war. At first, he mainly did some odd jobs. Compared to fighting, he was more familiar with his old craft - haircut. Xiong Yingtang often cuts his comrades' hair and gradually becomes a well-known "barber" in the army.
In a battle, he followed the others to charge into battle. When he was fighting fiercely with the enemy, he successfully grabbed the rifle from the other party and officially became a dignified soldier. In the days that followed, Xiong Yingtang grew up rapidly in the army, step by step, went through a lot of hardships, and eventually became an excellent soldier who could stand alone.
He served as squad leader, team leader, commander, and regiment commander one after another, and later followed the team to participate in the 0,000-mile Long March . As we all know, the road to Long March is full of hardships and dangers. Some soldiers fell and slept, some carried the burden and continued to move forward, and some were responsible for activate the atmosphere and let the soldiers be energetic. Xiong Yingtang also fought against the god of death again and again with his tenacious will, and he survived several minor injuries and four serious injuries, fully interpreting the soldiers' spirit of perseverance for the cause of revolution.
Anti-Japanese War , Xiong Yingtang led his team to fight against the enemy with all his might. He served as the commander of the New Fourth Army's Special Forces, Chief of Staff, and Chief of Brigade Staff. He participated in and directed many battles and sweated for the revolutionary cause. In addition, Xiong Yingtang also led his troops to break through the "Southern Anhui Incident" and made great contributions to preserving and strengthening our army's strength and consolidating and developing the anti-Japanese revolutionary base.
After Japan surrendered to , civil war is about to break out. Xiong Yingtang once again took on the heavy responsibility, and he was seen in major battles such as Huaihai Battle, Crossing the River Battle, , and Liberating Shanghai. He led his troops to one battlefield after another, not afraid of sacrifice. It is just to accelerate the liberation of the people and to make the lives of the people without smoke, and to make indelible achievements for the cause of liberation.
Soon, the Kuomintang was defeated by the Communist Party, and a new and beautiful future appeared before everyone. Those heroes during the war were commended, and Xiong Yingtang was also awarded the rank of founding major general, and successively served as commander of the People's Liberation Army, commander of the Air Force, and deputy commander of the military region.
He has been working hard for the betterment of the country throughout his life, and always worked day and night. He will participate in any party branch's activities as long as there is no work, and he will always strictly demand himself as an ordinary party member. According to Xiong Yingtang's subordinates, Xiong Yingtang personally pays party dues every month and reports his ideological situation. He is an old Communist Party member who is deeply educated by the party and has never obtained any benefits for himself.
Xiong Yingtang can be said to have a clear conscience towards the country and work. He has strict requirements on work and is conscientious, but he is very irresponsible to his family. The year before the title was awarded, 43-year-old Xiong Yingtang welcomed a pair of twin sons, Xiong Ziping and Xiong Beiping. Xiong Yingtang and his wife were naturally very happy, but no one knew that the twins would become two demons when they grew up.
Xiong Yingtang believes that work is a task given to him by his superiors, and he is always used to completing it on time and doing it better. Therefore, he rarely goes home, and even if he goes home, he will not communicate with his children. The children even feel strange when they see their father.
The family is often separated, Xiong Yingtang has a low level of education, and has lacked family affection since childhood, so he didn't know how to take care of his children. Every time he disciplines, it is often beaten and scolded, which makes the children even more reluctant to get close to their father. Because of this, his wife was very spoiled for her children. Xiong Yingtang was transferred to Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places due to work reasons, and the family often traveled around.
As a mother, Xiong Yingtang's wife always feels sorry for her son. She runs back and forth with them at a young age. She almost responds to her son's requests and never lets them suffer any grievances. The two brothers Xiong Ziping and Xiong Beiping were gradually raised to be lawless, and their tempers became bigger and bigger, and they became two little bullies at a young age.
When they were young, the two of them teased their classmates at school. They relied on their mother's spoiling and never received any punishment. Only when Xiong Yingtang returns home will the two brothers be honest for a while. Under the cover of his wife and the disguise of his two sons, Xiong Yingtang never realized that his son had gone on a wrong path and knew nothing about what they did.
Later, the two gradually grew up, and they learned their father's identity and became even more proud. Unlike before, they started stealing and fighting in school, and even attacked the teacher directly after being disciplined by the teacher. After Xiong Yingtang's wife learned about this, she did not intend to scold the child at all, but instead put pressure on her own identity. The teachers and students in the school dared not speak out due to authority. Xiong Beiping and Xiong Ziping became more and more arrogant.
However, these bastards still reached Xiong Yingtang's ears. His wife's concealment made him extremely angry, and he beat his two sons hard. But how could he be reformed after a beating? Xiong Yingtang didn't know how to discipline him. He believed that the army was a good place. As long as he sent his two sons to exercise, he could change those bad habits and become filial children.
But who would have thought that the two people who came to the army would live a free and easy life. As soon as he entered the army, he promoted everywhere that his father was Xiong Yingtang. He once disrespected teachers and classmates at school, and he also did not take instructors and comrades seriously here. The military discipline is never abide by, and drinking and causing trouble is a common thing. When they see a female comrade-in-arms, they go up to tease her and try to touch her. They violate military discipline again and again. When someone warned them, the two brought their father out again.
The soldiers in the army were in great pain, especially the girls. The two gradually became presumptuous and their courage became increasingly bold. Xiong Beiping even raped a female soldier directly in the army. The matter became more and more serious, and the troops quickly forced the two to discharge the army and sent them home. Xiong Yingtang’s wife did not dare to tell her husband about this, and could only say that the child could not bear the suffering. Xiong Yingtang was working in Sichuan at this time and was not sure of the real reason. The fact that his son could not endure hardship made him very angry and scolded the two brothers.
The two brothers were arranged to work in the factory again, but they were still not honest. The biggest fun in the factory every day is to be hooligan. When the factory is unwilling to go to work, it will cause damage everywhere, and it almost caused major accidents several times. During this period, the two met many gangsters, and gradually violated many women under the influence of others.
When Xiong Yingtang was working in Zhejiang, the state arranged him to work in a two-story building next to the military region, and also arranged soldiers to guard him. As he was transferred to Sichuan, the house was no longer inhabited and was still preserved. Who would have thought it would become the criminal base for the two brothers.
The father is far away from home, and his mother spoils him so much that no one disciplines him. The two of them completely let themselves go and get together with their friends to discuss attacking women. The two brothers often use Xiong Yingtang's identity to trick girls into saying that they can arrange jobs, or just trick them into watching movies, and try every means to trick them into small buildings to infringe on them. Sometimes they find friends and directly rob the girl of the people.
The two of them did so many evil things that were despicable, but they were not punished because their mother tried her best to conceal these things. Every time she heard the news, she would find the relevant departments and protect her son in the name of her husband. The people hated her very much, but there was no way out. She could only call the young women in the city to be careful and go out less.
Xiong Yingtang, as his father, was very failed. He devoted almost all his life to the party and the country, and had no energy to allocate it to the family. Therefore, even though his son became a local bully, he was still deceived by the lies in his wife's mouth. He had no idea that his family had turned upside down. Even if his son was ordered to be arrested, he didn't even know what had happened.
11978, the people in Hangzhou, who were tortured by the Xiong brothers, finally tried to resist. The bullied family, together with their relatives and friends and many kind-hearted people, sent letters of complaint to the government agencies. The situation was extremely bad, and the Hangzhou public security organs immediately arranged personnel to launch an investigation. At that time, my country's legal system was becoming more and more perfect, and all parts of the country were stepping up their efforts to arrest gangsters. The two brothers did not think they would be arrested at all, and continued to bully men and dominate women, and also provided a lot of evidence to the public security personnel.
According to records, from 1974 to 1978, in four years, they joined hands with others to deceive and kidnap more than 140 women and went home, of which 66 were violated and 20 were molested, including students, female workers, teachers, and even female soldiers. The net of heaven is vast and unobstructed, and the evil things they did were finally accepted by the public security organs.
These evidences were circulated to the newly appointed Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee Tieying. He was so angry that he slapped the table. He was a soldier and never expected that someone would bully the people with his identity and background. The evidence above was so staggering, and the criminal records made people unable to bear to think about how many girls suffered. Tieying quickly reported the information to the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, demanding a thorough investigation and strict handling.

arrest orders come and the public security organs take action immediately. After the two were arrested, they still looked arrogant and were very arrogant. They insulted the public security personnel many times, without any remorse. They threatened the police and said, "My father is Xiong Yingtang. When my father comes back, I will definitely teach you a lesson!"
Xiong Yingtang learned that his two sons were arrested, and only then did he learn about their bad deeds over the years. He was nearly 70 years old and was almost sent to the hospital. When he completely calmed down, he told the case handlers that he was doing his job in official business and dealt with it in accordance with the law. He fully supported the law enforcement officers and warned the people around him that no one was allowed to interfere in pleading.
How did the wife bear to be sentenced to her son and try to find a relationship to seek a lighter sentence, but Xiong Yingtang scolded her. The couple blamed each other for improper discipline, which led to their son going astray, and they couldn't help but feel very sad after the quarrel. The two brothers' aunt also wanted to ask Xiong Yingtang for mercy, but Xiong Yingtang said, "If you make a mistake, you have to bear it. I have to fight for the country and the people for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, my son will be cruel to the people. If I help them, how can I explain it to the party?"
The two brothers learned that their father was not going to rescue him. The elder brother Xiong Beiping panicked and immediately admitted his mistake and explained the crime one by one. However, his younger brother Xiong Ziping still refused to change his mistakes and insulted the police officer in charge of the case many times.
When the evidence was conclusive, the case quickly came to an end. The court read out the crimes of the two and gave the final verdict.Xiong Beiping had a good attitude to admit guilt and had a minor crime, and was sentenced to death sentence reprieve for two years; Xiong Ziping refused to change his guilt and had a bad attitude to admit guilt and had a serious crime, so he was sentenced to death sentence immediately.
Xiong Ziping was soon sent to the execution ground to accept his final punishment. Xiong Beiping was sent to prison to serve his sentence, but during this period he was bullied by other prisoners. No one was respectful because of his identity and his living standards were very different from before. He finally chose to commit suicide because he could not accept it.
Xiong Yingtang learned of the final verdict of his two sons, as if he had crushed the old man in a sudden. The white-haired man gave the black-haired man. He felt extremely sad, but he knew that this was the punishment they deserved. He fought for the country for most of his life, but in the end he was embarrassed by his two sons, and he blamed himself for ignoring his children's education, which made a big mistake and even hurt others.
He felt faceless to face the party and the people, so he quickly submitted his resignation and returned to Shanghai to live in seclusion for retirement. Although this old man had problems with family discipline throughout his life, he did his best to the country and the people and deserved respect by everyone. His son who was on the wrong path never thought of pleading, nor did he rely on his identity to excuse them so that the court could close the case fairly.
The judgment of the two brothers of the Xiong family undoubtedly proves to the people that in the face of the law, no one can have privileges, and anyone must abide by the law and . Once the bottom line is touched, they will be severely punished.
Everyone is equal before the law. Only in this way can we live in a harmonious society.
The central government will not favor you because of whose children you are, nor will it take off its anger for your relatives to make mistakes.
11983, the Central Military Commission issued an order to restore Xiong Yingtang's position, and the old man returned to his post to continue working.
1988, Deng Xiaoping personally awarded Xiong Yingtang the first-class Red Star Merit Honors. His honor will never be erased because of his son.
