**After the establishment of New China, Comrade was engaged in diplomatic work for a long time, so he did not receive a military rank in 1955. But in fact, during the war years, his qualifications were very outstanding, and he once served as the chief of staff of the 2nd Corps of the North China Military Region, and was a close comrade-in-arms of Yang Dezhi and ***. In 1981, he was appointed Minister of National Defense by Comrade Xiaoping, and he was also the only Minister of National Defense in the history of New China who did not participate in the awarding of titles.
*'s eldest daughter is Geng Ying, born in Yan'an in 1939. Geng Ying didn't have much contact with her father when she was a child, because she had been fighting against the Japanese army on the front line for a long time and couldn't be with her family. Even after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, ** has been traveling all the year round, successively serving as the ambassador of the Republic to many countries, and he can only express his love for Beijing's daughter by writing letters. Geng Ying's personality is very independent and strong, she took the initiative to apply for the School of Geology, and after graduation, she engaged in many underground mining jobs that only boys do, which is very hard.
Geng Ying's second job entered the pharmaceutical industry. After 1978, China began to implement the policy of reform and opening up, and it gradually became a trend to do business in the sea. Geng Ying, who has accumulated experience in pharmaceutical factories, went to the south to start a business and founded her own pharmaceutical factory in Zhuhai, Guangdong. **Knowing what her daughter did, she said with a smile: Yingying, you haven't even been able to count 10 yuan since you were a child, is it feasible to start your own business? Geng Ying showed her father the business license she had applied for, and said that she must break through.
As a result, Geng Ying successfully entered the market with her professional knowledge and enthusiasm, and achieved small success in just a few years, and even built a 6-story office building. Just when her career was going well, fate played a big "joke" with her: because Geng Ying belonged to a typical "** child", and since the reform and opening up, there has been a phenomenon of official collapse and corruption, and the state has made great efforts to rectify it, and all the enterprises started by ** children have been stopped or transferred. Geng Ying, who was legally operating, was therefore blocked of all her personal assets in 1986 and could no longer work.
The country's policy is very necessary, and Geng Ying is sad but understandable. At this time, she had developed a strong interest in business and believed in her own abilities. In 1987, Geng Ying, who was determined to break through in the business world, resolutely bid farewell to her father and went to the United States for development. Before leaving, she firmly said to her family: Within three years, I will definitely make achievements. As long as you don't starve, you have to walk sideways over there!
Life is not a fairy tale, and passion alone is not enough to achieve success. After arriving in the United States, Geng Ying's start was very difficult, and she even had to start from selling handicrafts at street stalls, and her income was very meager. But Geng Ying, who has a flexible mind, remembered the resources in her hand and planned to use them to break the game:When US Secretary of Defense Brown visited China a few years ago, his father gave Brown a Chinese painting he painted as a souvenir. So Geng Ying wrote to Brown to express her greetings, and the letter included a few more of her own works**.
Sure enough, Ms. Brown's office quickly contacted Ms. Geng, who was "very interested" in her paintings. Through Mr. Brown's matchmaking, Geng Ying made friends with a large number of dignitaries, businessmen, and celebrities. One of her Chinese paintings can be sold for more than $30,000 in the circle. After opening up the business situation with the help of art works, Geng Ying went further and bought a number of orchards in the United States, successfully expanding the business territory. Geng Ying is the daughter of a famous generalShe has achieved a breakthrough in the United States, did not forget to repay the country, presided over the establishment of the Chinese Cultural Heritage Association, vigorously promoted China's traditional culture, and committed to public welfare and charity. Now Geng Ying is 84 years old, and her body is still strong.
