When Liao Zhongkai, the leader of the left wing of the Kuomintang, died, more than 200,000 people saw him off, and his wife He Xiangning, son Liao Chengzhi, and grandson Liao Hui were all vice-state-level cadres of the Republic.
After Sun Yat-sen's death in 1925, Liao Zhongkai became the leader of the leftists, advocating cooperation with the Communist Party, and incurring resentment from the rightists.
"Liao Zhongkai, a traitor, actually wants to cooperate with the Communist Party! Kill him and warn everyone! ”
The rightists regarded Liao Zhongkai as "a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh" and tried all kinds of ways to assassinate him.
On August 20, 1925, Liao Zhongkai came to the Central Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang by car. As soon as Liao got out of the car, the killer rushed out of the crowd of onlookers and pulled out a pistol.
"Liao Zhongkai, you traitor!"
After a "bang" gunshot, Liao Zhongkai fell in a pool of blood and returned to the west with his life.
Liao Zhongkai has a conscience and charm, and was loved by many people when he was alive. After learning that he had been stabbed to death, many people were sad and wept silently, and on the day of the funeral, more than 200,000 people from all walks of life in the city saw him off, which was very spectacular.
"Mr. Liao, you go all the way."
"The Communists will never forget you!"
Liao Zhongkai always kept in mind Sun Yat-sen's three major policies of "uniting Russia, uniting the Communist Party, and supporting peasants and workers", and was the heir of Sun Yat-sen's spirit. Unfortunately, he was killed by a traitor and died young. If he had not been killed, Lao Jiang would not have been able to come to power, and the "April 12" bloody case would not have occurred.
Liao Zhongkai's wife, He Xiangning, was a representative of the left wing of the Kuomintang at that time, and after her husband was killed, she turned her grief into strength and campaigned for the leftists.
"Although Mr. Liao is dead, he will live forever in our hearts. Everyone be strong and fight for the revolution! ”
He Xiangning is not only a politician, but also a painter. She is known for her landscape paintings and is a champion in the art world. Interested friends can search for "He Xiangning's Poetry and Painting Collection" to appreciate her masterpieces.
In 1949, He Xiangning publicly announced that she would accept the leadership of the Communist Party and devote herself to the construction of New China.
"I'm glad to see the old society overthrown. I am willing to dedicate the rest of my life to the construction of the motherland and serve the people. ”
He Xiangning successively served as vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Second and Third National People's Congress, and vice chairman of the Second and Third National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. In 1972, Ms. He Xiangning died of illness.
Liao Zhongkai's son, Liao Chengzhi, joined the Communist Party in 1924 and was an out-and-out early veteran.
After the "April 12 Bloody Case", Liao Chengzhi angrily broke away from the Kuomintang and stood with the Communist Party. At that time, he was advised:
"Chengzhi, your father is a veteran of the Kuomintang, how good are you with the Kuomintang."
"The current Kuomintang is Chiang Kai-shek's private army, so I don't want to fight with a dictator like him! Chiang Kai-shek preyed on the people and scourged the national army, I must defeat him! ”
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liao Chengzhi successively served as director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee, president of Huaqiao University, and adviser to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and made great contributions to the field of overseas Chinese affairs.
In 1978, he was elected vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress and became a vice-state-level cadre.
"Thanks to the trust of the party and the country, I will definitely live up to my expectations and serve the people."
In 1983, Mr. Liao Chengzhi died of illness.
Liao Zhongkai's grandson Liao Hui graduated from Harbin Military Engineering Institute and is a top student. After graduating, Liao Hui spent 18 years in the army. In 1983, Liao Hui was transferred to the government department to handle overseas Chinese affairs.
In 2003, Liao Hui was elected vice chairman of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and became a deputy national leader.
Liao Zhongkai's wife, son and grandson are all deputy state-level leaders, worthy of the famous style!
Finally, I end the article with a poem by Liao Zhongkai:
Don't ask the old lord back then! In the past, it was famous, but today it is empty. Jumping beam mouse burrows among them.
