Perhaps the greatest sorrow of a person is that the years are gone, the poverty is destitute, and no matter how many achievements he has made when he is young, he can only barely survive when he is old.
97-year-old Xue Yue was once sued in court for not being able to pay rent, and he said in court: "I killed 100,000 Japan!" "What's going on?
Xue Yue's name has a origin, because his father admired the national hero Yue Fei, so he named his son "Yangyue" in order to place expectations and high hopes for his son, and later Xue Yue changed his name to "Yue" when he became an adult.
Xue Yue did not live up to his father's expectations, joined the League at the age of 13, and joined the Kuomintang, making great achievements.
After the September 18 Incident, Chiang Kai-shek put forward the policy of "first securing the inside and the outside", and many Kuomintang people agreed to it for the sake of their personal future.
However, Xue Yue was resolutely opposed and refused to carry out Chiang Kai-shek's order to attack the Red Army. In Xue Yue's view, the most important task at this time was to resist the Japanese invasion, not to oppose the Communist Party.
Because of repeated disobedience to orders, Xue Yue was ostracized in the army, and Chiang Kai-shek no longer used him.
After the Kuomintang and the Communist Party formed a united front, there was an extreme shortage of talents on the front line, and Xue Yue was also entrusted with important tasks. When the Japanese army intended to invade Changsha, Xue Yue led the soldiers of the national army to resist desperately.
Later, Xue Yue lured the enemy into the depths, and the advancing Japanese army thought that victory was in sight, but they did not expect to step into the trap that Xue Yue had already prepared for them step by step, and in the end, 100,000 Japanese troops went and never returned, setting a record of annihilating the most Japanese troops.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, perhaps Xue Yue was no longer useful, and he was once again marginalized by Chiang Kai-shek and sat on the cold bench.
In the later stage of the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek struggled to support, and he once again remembered this general who had been treated coldly by him, so he sent Xue Yue to guard Hainan, and the People's Liberation Army must not be allowed to land on Hainan Island.
Xue Yue knew that the task was difficult and the responsibility was heavy, and he worked hard to support it, but the road was one foot high, and after 56 days, Hainan Island was broken by the People's Liberation Army, and Xue Yue could only flee back to Taiwan with the remaining national soldiers.
Xue Yue's performance disappointed Chiang Kai-shek, in fact, the Kuomintang at that time was already at the end of its power, but Chiang Kai-shek still poured his resentment on Xue Yue, and he was only assigned to some idle positions.
After the death of Chiang Kai-shek's father and son one after another, Lee Teng-hui came to power, and he changed Chiang Ching-kuo's policy of promoting peaceful reunification between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in a vain attempt to revise the Constitution. Xue Yue understands that if the constitutional amendment is successful, it will be difficult for Taiwan to return to the motherland in his lifetime.
As a result, Xue Yue stood up and openly opposed Lee Teng-hui's decision, and created a certain influence in Taiwan.
Lee Teng-hui held a grudge against Xue Yue, so he confiscated his house, even revoked his post, and demanded that he pay high rent.
Xue Yue has no economic income, where can he have the money to pay the rent? So the landlord directly sued the 97-year-old Xue Yue in court. It is really embarrassing that a majestic general fell to such an end.
In the court, Xue Yue was naturally aggrieved in his heart, so the scene at the beginning of the article appeared. After learning about the situation, the people were also dissatisfied with the Taiwan authorities, and they were unhappy with Xue Yue one after another.
In the end, under the pressure of public opinion, Xue Yue's rent was canceled, and he was able to enjoy his old age in peace, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
