As the saying goes, "Ice is out of water and cold out of water". The vast majority of the descendants of the founding generals are excellent, and the descendants of Admiral Zhong Qiguang are no exception, one of his sons is a major general, and one granddaughter has become a well-known actress.
Unlike most of the peasant-born founding generals, Zhong was definitely an intellectual, a native of Pingjiang, Hunan, who was born in a scholarly family, attended middle school in his youth, and later worked as a teacher in a primary school in his hometown.
Because he had been baptized with revolutionary ideas in middle school, Zhong Qiguang participated in the revolution very early, and after graduating and returning to his hometown, he organized a peasant movement in the local area and soon joined the Communist Party.
After the defeat of the Great Revolution, Zhong Qiguang, as a scholar, was not intimidated by the enemy's butcher's knife, but resolutely joined other comrades in the party, plunged into the torrent of armed struggle, participated in the famous "Pingjiang Uprising", and stayed in his hometown to continue to lead the mass revolution, and later joined the Red Fifth Army led by Mr. Peng, and participated in the creation of the Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi base areas.
After the Long March of the main force of the Red Army, Zhong Qiguang, then director of the Political Department of the 16th Red Division, did not follow the Long March of the large army, but stayed in the base area and continued to deal with the reactionaries, firmly believing that the revolution would definitely win and that the end of the reactionaries would eventually come. As a result, Zhong Qiguang gritted his teeth together with the other comrades who remained, overcame unimaginable hardships for ordinary people, gritted his teeth and persevered for three years under extremely difficult conditions, and finally ushered in the dawn of victory.
The outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression forced the Kuomintang reactionaries to temporarily give up the encirclement, suppression, and suppression of our party and our army, and to start the second KMT-CPC cooperation. In this situation, the Red Army guerrillas in the vast areas of the south were unified into the New Fourth Army, and Zhong Zhiguang's unit was incorporated into the first detachment of the New Fourth Army (commander**) and served as the director of the political department.
Political work can be said to be Zhong Qiguang's strong point, as early as the Red Army period, Zhong Qiguang has been engaged in political work, made outstanding contributions to the revolution. After the reorganization of the unit into the New Fourth Army, he once again lived up to expectations, especially in arousing the people's enthusiasm for resisting Japan and publicizing the positive image of the New Fourth Army, and played an indispensable and important role.
In June 1938, due to the needs of the revolution, Zhong Qiguang was transferred to the director of the Political Department of the Anti-Japanese Advance Team, and together with Su Yu, he led the troops into southern Jiangsu to carry out the war of resistance behind enemy lines, and annihilated a Japanese transport team in the Weigang area, firing the first shot of the war of resistance behind enemy lines in southern Jiangsu. The First Battle of Weigang greatly shocked the reputation of the New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu and greatly boosted the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the people in southern Jiangsu.
In the years that followed, Zhong Qiguang moved to the north and south of the river, participated in many famous battles, and participated in the creation and consolidation of many anti-Japanese base areas. During the War of Liberation, he successively served as director of the Political Department of the Central China Field Army and deputy director of the Political Department of the East China Field Army.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhong Qiguang was in charge of academies and scientific research, participated in the establishment of the highest military academy, and successively served as director of the political department, deputy political commissar, and political commissar of the military academy, and trained a large number of modern talents for the troops. In 1955, Zhong Qi was honorably promoted to the rank of general and became one of the founding generals.
In 1972, Zhong Qiguang was not treated in time due to a sudden cerebral thrombosis, which eventually led to paralysis, that is, in this year, his granddaughter was born. The arrival of his granddaughter brought spiritual comfort to Zhong Qiguang, who was seriously ill in bed, and he hoped that his granddaughter could live a good life in the future, so he specially named his granddaughter "Haohao".
Zhong Haohao went abroad to study at the age of 16, and after returning to China, she went to work in Hong Kong, and by chance she entered a Hong Kong TV station and served as a host, which laid the groundwork for her to enter the acting career in the future.
In order to be able to realize his dream of acting, Zhong Hao Hao chose a stage name for himself - "Ke Lan". In 2005, she starred in her first work, and in 2008, Zhong Hao resigned from her job as a host and began to concentrate on being an actor.
Zhong Qiguang has a total of 6 sons and one daughter. The names of the children of the Zhong family are named after the places where Zhong Qiguang once fought, the eldest son is called Zhong Desu, and the latter children are called Zhejiang, Shandong, East, Shanghai, Ning, and Nan. It is worth mentioning that the second son Zhong Dezhe later also became a general, he was a researcher in the ** Reserve Department, engaged in the research and certification of **equipment, and was later awarded the rank of major general.
