Now they are all monogamous, but in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of the war, the situation became a little complicated, such as Yi Yaocai, the founding major general, who had two "wives". 
It all started when he was 11 years old. That year, Yi Yaocai's parents were still alive, and in troubled times, the old man was afraid that his children would not find a wife when they grew up, so they "married" a little girl named Zhang Feng'e for him outside. Soon after, Yi Yaocai responded to the call to join the Red Army and left his hometown with the team, leaving Zhang Feng'e at home to serve the two old men. It was a good thing to participate in the revolution, but the Kuomintang was unwilling, they not only killed Yi Yaocai's parents, but also wanted to arrest Zhang Feng'e. Fortunately, Zhang Feng'e was clever and hid, and after the Kuomintang left, she held a funeral for the two old people, and then stayed in her hometown until Yi Yaocai came back. However, Yi Yaocai thought that his wife and parents were killed by the Kuomintang, and cried a lot, so he gradually forgot about Zhang Feng'e in his hometown. 
In 1938, a new intern doctor named Fan Jingyang came to the army, Yi Yaocai fell in love at a glance, and with the approval of the leadership, the two soon became husband and wife. It wasn't until 1953 that Yi Yaocai took Fan Jingyang home to go to his parents' grave only to find out that Zhang Feng'e was not dead and had been waiting for him. One can imagine how complicated Yi Yaocai's heart is. After so many years of "husband" not coming home, Zhang Feng'e had foreseen that this kind of thing might happen, not only did she not blame the two, but also kept comforting them and telling them to live a good life. Fan Jingyang, who knew the truth, was also very guilty and sympathetic to Zhang Feng'e, and since then, she has sent some money to her hometown every few months to make Zhang Feng'e's life better. 
In 1998, Zhang Feng'e died, and the villagers buried her in Yi Yaocai's cemetery.
