Hello everyone, I'm Lantai. Today I will give you a detailed introduction to the family life of one of the founding generals of our country, Major General Xu Jiefan. Xu Jiefan is the stepfather of the eldest daughter Lin Xiaolin, however, his three biological daughters grew up in the Soviet Union and became Russian citizens, becoming the only general among the founding generals of our country whose biological children all took foreign passports.

Xu Jiefan was born in Guzhen County, Anhui Province in 1901, and as early as 1923, at the age of 22, he joined the Communist Youth League and became an outstanding revolutionary in Anhui Province. In 1925, he was admitted to the third phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and after graduation, he entered the Guangdong Aviation School for further study, and officially became a member of the middle school. Due to the failure of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Xu Jiefan stayed in the Soviet Union for a long time, became a cadet of the Soviet Red Army Aviation School, and later served in the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs and received a Soviet passport.

In 1933, Xu Jiefan married his Soviet colleague Mardovska, and was later transferred to Vladivostok (Vladivostok) as the chief of the public security section. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, he wanted to return to China to fight, but he was not approved and still worked in the Soviet Union. In the USSR, he became a staff officer on the Chinese issue and received several honors, including the "Medal for the Defense of Moscow" and the "Medal for the Great Patriotic War".

In 1948, Xu Jiefan returned to his homeland with his wife and three daughters, but at that time Chinese society had not yet recovered, and living conditions were unsatisfactory compared to those in the Soviet Union. His wife, Mardovska, had difficulty adjusting to life at home and was in poor health, so she chose to return to the Soviet Union with her three daughters. Xu Jiefan participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and entrusted his daughter to the care of his mother-in-law, but they had lived in the Soviet Union for many years and also felt uncomfortable after returning to China.

Xu Jiefan and his wife had a conflict between staying in the Soviet Union and returning to China, and each of them had good reasons. However, his wife Madovska was diagnosed with cancer at this time, and died of illness in the Soviet Union in 1950, which brought a huge blow to Xu Jiefan.

After the end of the Korean War, Xu Jiefan wanted to bring his three daughters back to China, only to find that they had fully adapted to life in the Soviet Union. The third daughter has outstanding grades and is about to enter college, and Xu Jiefan is a mixture of happiness and sadness for her father. In the end, the daughters chose to stay in the Soviet Union, and Xu Jiefan returned to his homeland alone, reported to the organization and was understood.

In 1956, Xu Jiefan and his ex-wife Zhang Mei formed a new family and became stepfathers. The third daughter remained in the USSR and became a Soviet citizen. Xu Jiefan and Zhang Mei have no children, so they will give all their love to Lin Xiaolin. He was promoted to Major General of the Armored Corps in 1961, becoming one of the few founding major generals without any military merits.

In 1981, Xu Jiefan enjoyed the treatment of the regular army, and the following year he received the treatment of the deputy corps. On April 16, 1983, General Xu Jiefan passed away in the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. Unfortunately, Sino-Soviet relations had not yet fully eased at that time, and he was unable to reunite with his three daughters. When the daughters searched for it later, they learned that General Xu Jiefan had died.

After paying homage to Xu Jiefan, the daughters refused the invitation to return to China and chose to live in Russia. Currently, they and their children live as Russian citizens. Xu Jiefan's stepdaughter, Lin Xiaolin, retired to live in Beijing, where she spent her old age with her mother, Zhang Mei.
