Xiong Yingtang, the founding major general, was born in the Red Fourth Front Army, and served as the deputy commander of the 25th Army in the later period of the Liberation War, and served as the deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region and the commander of the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region after the founding of the People's Republic of China. As the military commander of the army, he has to have military merits and qualifications, and General Xiong's status is very high. Xiong Yingtang has a total of 7 children, one of which is a pair of twin boys born in 1952, which is the "two bears" (Xiong Ziping and Xiong Beiping) that shocked the whole country in the 70s.
Xiong Yingtang is busy with military affairs, and his children's education is mainly in charge of his wife Yan Lu. However, Yan Lu, a loving mother who loses her children and spoils her children excessively, has constantly instilled the concept of "can't be bullied outside" to her children since she was a child, and she does not stop the mistakes made by her children, in fact, it is not her sons who are bullied, but ordinary people. After the "two bears" joined the army, they disobeyed discipline and frequently picked quarrels and provoked trouble, and the leaders of the army were miserable, and finally the two were arranged to work in the factory, but there is still no improvement, idle and not doing business, in his twenties, he still mixes with local ruffians every day, bullying young women.
After General Xiong Yingtang was transferred to Sichuan to take up his post, he did not take away the adult "Erxiong" and let them continue to live in the residence arranged by the Qingbomenwai Military Region in Hangzhou: Because the families of senior military cadres are housed in this area, and there are soldiers on duty on patrol, according to the regulations, the local ** basically does not ask about military affairs, which gives the two bears who are full of lust an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they have completely turned this mansion into a "nest of obscenity". The two teamed up with unemployed people in the vicinity to look for young women everywhere, and tricked them into entering the military area for housing in the military area. Over the past few years, more than 140 people have been victimized to varying degrees, including more than 60 innocent young women who have been defiled by the criminal gang, and some have even become pregnant.
The society knows the family background of Erxiong, and the two of them have made a catastrophe, but most people dare not speak out. It was not until 1979 that Zhejiang Province received a report from the masses, and Comrade Tie Ying, who was the first secretary of the provincial party committee at the time, had a strong party spirit. Xiong Ziping still did not repent when he was arrested, and said wildly: My father is the commander, come to clean you up sooner or later!
However, it was Erxiong who was "cleaned up". When General Xiong Yingtang learned of the great crime committed by his two sons, he felt filled with grief and indignation, and asked his family not to find any leaders to dredge up the relationship. According to Comrade Yu Shiren, the judge at the time, the Xiong family really did not carry out private activities after the incident, only one aunt in Shanghai came to intercede, hoping to give Erxiong a chance to get a light shot, but it didn't work.
Some online articles have written that Erxiong was shot in a public trial in 1979, but this statement is actually very inaccurate. In November 1979, more than 6,000 people attended the public trialAt that time, it was Xiong Ziping who was really sentenced to death; Xiong Beiping was not shot, and he was given a suspended sentence. The severity of the brothers' misdeeds and their attitudes of admitting guilt are also different. However, people like those who committed such heinous cases were also very despised in prison, and Xiong Beiping was beaten by other prisoners many times, and chose to commit suicide after a mental breakdown. In this way, although the two bears were sentenced differently, they both died in 1979, and only Xiong Ziping was executed.
General Xiong Yingtang has been a hero all his life, but he suffered such a heavy blow in his later years, which is very embarrassing. It can be seen that the resume of the older generation is not directly equivalent to the glory of the next generation, and everyone's fate needs to be well grasped. Of course, if the child made a big mistake, it cannot be used to deny the contribution of the old revolutionary, and in 1988, General Xiong Yingtang was also awarded the first-class Red Star Meritorious Service Medal. After the death of his two sons, General Xiong's mental state was very sluggish, and he basically stopped appearing in public, and died in Shanghai in 1996 at the age of 85.
