When it comes to the name of Qin Qijiang, most people are unaware or vague, and if her father, Qin Jiwei, the founding general of the people, is mentioned, most people are familiar with it. Qin Qijiang himself did not join the army or politics, but chose to do business in a different way, and has made great progress in this field, and has served in a number of companies as the manager, general manager, vice chairman and other positions of trade department.
And whether it is her father, husband, two brothers, or even her father-in-law, they are all down-to-earth generals. As the daughter of the general, Qin Qijiang: the general manager of the company, the father of the former minister of national defense Qin Jiwei, the husband and two older brothers lieutenant general.
Qin Jiwei
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >, father Qin Jiwei</h1>
On November 16, 1914, General Qin Jiwei was born in Qinluozhuang, Qiliping Town, Huang'an, Hubei Province, and his birth was ordinary except for the joy of his family, and no one could have predicted that this child would become a general in the future, just as he did not expect the future jute uprising.
General Qin Jiwei's hometown of Qin Luozhuang has lived in the same Qin surname for several generations, and at the same time they rely on the land of the landlord's family with the surname of Luo for a living, which derives the name "Qin Luozhuang", and at the same time seems to have doomed General Qin Jiwei to live by renting land like his ancestors.
The death of his father at the age of 8 and the death of his brother who was dependent on him at the age of 10, any of the two things that happened to others will inevitably have a great impact on the entire life, and at the same time, what happened to General Qin Jiwei was undoubtedly to crush his young and tender shoulders.
"The heavens will descend upon the Scythians, and they will first work hard to starve their bodies." While this ordeal destroyed General Qin Jiwei, it also greatly sharpened him from a stubborn stone into a piece of jade.
At a young age, he worked short jobs, chopping firewood, herding cattle, digging wild vegetables... It seems that he has been involved in all the hard work he can think of, and through these skills, he can also glimpse how much suffering he has suffered as a young man.
Although his life was pitiful, often the rich and unkind landlords in that part never felt pity for this, and General Qin Jiwei, who struggled to survive, was accustomed to the exploitation of the landlord class, and became more and more hateful as he grew older.
Thus, when the jute uprising broke out in 1927, Qin Jiwei, who was only 13 years old, threw down his hoe, carried a red gun, and resolutely participated in the uprising and threw himself into the revolutionary wave. Thus the name of the "Red Boy" was added to the body, and the fate was rewritten.
In 1929, at the age of 15, Qin Jiwei officially joined the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and became a Red Army soldier. Since then, he has closely followed the pace of our party and our army, unswervingly walked on the revolutionary road, and gradually changed from an ordinary soldier to a company commander, a regimental commander, and even a division commander.
By December 7, 1937, Qin Jiwei had become the commander of the newly established Taigu Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army. Previously, Qin Jiwei had become a general of our army, and he had fully improved his ability to command and fight, as well as the full trust and recognition of his leaders.
However, while serving as commander, Qin Jiwei encountered big trouble. A large part of the guerrilla detachment he led was intellectual, and when he encountered something he did not understand, he had to ask why?
General Qin Jiwei did not read books when he was young, and the lack of knowledge became a major shortcoming of him, which is why Qin Jiwei fully realized the importance of reading, but it was difficult for him to take time to read books at the time of the fire, so he thought of another way - writing a diary.
As a result, General Qin Jiwei began to cultivate the habit of writing diaries, often lighting oil lamps in the middle of the night, putting everything in the day's wars, political work, and so on into writing, and when he encountered them, it was convenient to ask others for advice, thus rapidly improving his cultural level.
In this process, it is also General Qin Jiwei's summary and digestion of the day's work, which can be described as having all kinds of benefits for him. And his diaries have become rare and valuable historical materials.
It is precisely because of the combination of military and cultural grasp that General Qin Jiwei has laid a good foundation for his future, after all, for a senior general, any of them is indispensable.
By February 1949, General Qin Jiwei had become the commander of the 15th Army of the Fourth Corps of the Second Field Army, and continued to play a role in the liberation of the whole country in the liberation war that was about to end thereafter.
If we say that the peak of General Qin Jiwei's battlefield career cannot be ignored in the period is the famous Battle of Shangganling, and among the many reasons why Qin Jiwei became a founding general, this battle occupies a lot of part.
In the past years, when the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea broke out, General Qin Jiwei took the initiative three times to ask Miao to strive to go to the front, so the Fifteenth Army of the Fourth Corps of the Second Field Army under his leadership was reorganized into the Fifteenth Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and rushed to the Korean battlefield.
On October 14, 1952, the famous Battle of Shangganling opened the curtain of history, facing the "fiercest fire attack in the history of world war" The Fifteenth Army led by General Qin Jiwei held its position for more than 40 days, firmly resisting the enemy from giving in and directly promoting the end of the Korean War.
Because of this, after General Qin Jiwei returned to China, Chairman Mao personally received him. Combining the important role of this war and the previous revolutionary merits, General Qin Jiwei was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955, and in 1988 he was awarded the rank of general and served as a state councilor and minister of national defense.
Through the above, it is not difficult to glimpse the general's life, and a small matter of "insignificance" can fully see the true disposition of General Qin Jiwei.
The important achievements of the Shangganling Campaign in that year were exchanged for the lives and blood of the soldiers of the People's Volunteer Army, who used their flesh and blood to make up for the gap in weapons and equipment, during which many troops sacrificed their lives for the country.
One of them, a combat hero and special meritorious hero named Chai Yunzhen, was that after all his comrades-in-arms were killed in the position, they were wounded in more than twenty places and still insisted on fighting.
However, after the end of the war, Chai Yunzhen went through several hospitals and lost contact with the troops. Therefore, his special merits and the titles, medals and certificates of the first class combat heroes could not be issued in place, so General Qin Jiwei issued an order to find this hero.
Although the relevant parties continued to make efforts, it was already the 1980s when Chai Yunzhen was found. However, even so, General Qin Jiwei, who had never forgotten it, immediately invited Chai Yunzhen to his home for dinner, and sighed during the banquet.
From this point of view, General Qin Jiwei's personality can already be glimpsed a few points, as a general can love soldiers like a son, undoubtedly building the foundation for becoming a general.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > two and two older brothers - Qin Weijiang and Qin Tian</h1>
As the eldest son of General Qin Jiwei, Qin Weijiang was born in December 1955, and since he was deeply taught and guided by his father since childhood, he unswervingly walked the military road in the face of life choices.
Through the above-mentioned development process of General Qin Jiwei, it is not difficult to glimpse his emphasis on knowledge, and at the same time, the importance of knowledge in modern military development is even more obvious, so Qin Weijiang attaches great importance to the cultivation of his own military knowledge.
In 1982, Qin Weijiang obtained a bachelor's degree in engineering from the Nanjing Institute of Communication Engineering of the People's Liberation Army, and after that, while working in a command post, he applied for a master's degree from the National Defense University, the highest military academy in our army, in 1998.
As a result, Qin Weijiang, who successfully obtained a degree in military science from the National Defense University in 2002, became the first military commander in our army's combat units at that time to be awarded a master's degree in military science.
Throughout Qin Weijiang's military career, he used his leisure time to "recharge" his knowledge all the time. As the saying goes, "knowing oneself and knowing the other can never lose a hundred battles" and the professional direction of Qin Weijiang's research is the strategy of foreign armies, and everything is in the process of continuous development, and the relevant knowledge is also increasing day by day, and General Qin Weijiang is learning endlessly.
Because of this, with the development of the times and his own two aspects go hand in hand, Qin Weijiang was promoted from the rank of major general to the rank of lieutenant general in July 2012.
Qin Weijiang
As the second son of General Qin Jiwei and another elder brother of Qin Qijiang, Qin Tian, like his own brother, was both with the rank of lieutenant general, but the development path of the two was very different.
Qin Tian, born in 1957, joined the army in 1973 when he was only about 16 years old. Having just joined the army, he became an ordinary soldier, and then through continuous efforts, he became a squad leader, a platoon leader, a company commander, a regimental commander, a deputy division commander... He has obtained two second-class merits and two third-class merits.
It is worth mentioning that during Qin Tian's tenure as regimental commander, he led his troops to the border to fight, and successfully completed the tasks entrusted by the organization.
Therefore, Qin Tian was a rare military general with practical combat experience in the relatively peaceful era, but what he shared with his brother was that Qin Tian also paid full attention to the study and accumulation of his own knowledge, and at the same time as a military general, he became an expert in the study of strategic issues, and successively participated in presiding over a number of national military projects.
As a result, in July 2016, Qin Tian, who was then the chief of staff of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, was awarded the rank of lieutenant general.
Qin Tian
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > third, husband - Yang Dongming</h1>
In addition to the two brothers are lieutenant generals, Qin Qijiang's husband Yang Dongming is also a lieutenant general, it is worth mentioning that Yang Dongming's father, Qin Qijiang's father-in-law, is the founding general Yang Chengwu.
Some people may subconsciously associate the marriage of the two with the "marriage", but in essence, Qin Jiwei and Yang Chengwu, who are the two fathers, do not have too deep a relationship, until the marriage between the two is put on the agenda, the two fathers do not know each other's identities.
As The husband of Qin Qijiang, Yang Dongming's experience has many similarities with Qin Tian, Qin Qijiang's brother. Born in October 1949, he joined the army in 1966 at the age of 17.
At the same time, while the troops were fully tempered, Yang Dongming also embarked on the road of strengthening his own knowledge reserves, devoting himself to the study of rocket generators at the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and graduated in 1977. He was later promoted to the rank of major general in 1994 and to the rank of lieutenant general in 2007 as deputy commander of the Air Force.
