Does Yang Hucheng have any descendants?

Those currently alive:

General Yang Hucheng was married three times and had ten children. Today, only Yang Zhengying, Yang Zhengmei, and Yang Zhenghan are still alive. Except for those who died young and died in prison together with their parents, the second generation of the Yang family all made silent contributions to their jobs, and some even gave their lives for national construction.

Yang Zhengying is the second daughter of Yang Hucheng and his third wife, Xie Baozhen. The old man is 73 years old. He retired from his job at the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of CPPCC Cultural and History Museum a few years ago. Now he lives with his wife in a residential building in Xinyi Lane, Xi'an City.

Although she is over seventy, Yang Zhengying is still quick-thinking. She said that her sister Yang Zhengmei retired from the Gansu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and now lives in Xi'an most of the time; her sister Yang Zhenghan retired from Xinjiang and now lives in Beijing.

Yang Zhengying said that when the Xi'an Incident occurred, the sisters were still young, and the eldest sister Zhengmei was only over 4 years old. In order to prevent accidents, their mother Xie Baozhen arranged for them to live with distant relatives in the suburbs of Xi'an, where their grandmother would take care of them.

In the memory of old man Yang Zhengying, the images of his parents have become blurred. In the early 1980s, the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was preparing to prepare a memorial hall for Yang Hucheng. She was transferred to the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference's Cultural and History Museum, where she had the opportunity to fully understand her parents' lives.

Yang Zhengying later wrote a biography of her mother in a publication called "Republic of China Figures 2". Later, my sister Yang Zhengmei did some research on this basis, and together with her, she completed the book "Memories of Mother Xie Baozhen".

Yang Zhengmin, born in 1922, was the eldest son of Yang Hucheng and the only surviving son after General Yang was killed. Yang Zhengmin was deeply influenced by his father and joined the revolution very early. From 1942 to the eve of the founding of New China, Yang Zhengmin successively served as the United Front Work Minister and County Party Committee Secretary of Mizhi County in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. In 1950, Yang Zhengmin took the initiative to work in Yumen, Gansu Province, where conditions were difficult. Yang Zhengmin became the first generation hero of the new China's petroleum industry. He has successively served as director of the Yumen Petroleum Administration Bureau, deputy governor of Shaanxi Province, deputy mayor of Tianjin, member of the Standing Committee of the Eighth Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and director of the Cultural and Historical Materials Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He died in Beijing in 1998 and was buried in the Yanghucheng Martyrs Cemetery in Chang'an District, Xi'an in the same year, alongside his parents' mausoleum.

Yang Zhengkun, also known as Zhou Pan, is the eldest daughter of General Yang Hucheng. Yang Zhengkun and his brother Yang Zhengmin were born to the same mother, Luo Peilan. In the early days of the founding of New China, Ms. Yang worked in the Central Propaganda Department and was later transferred to work in Beijing. After the 1970s, Yang Zhengkun entered the tourism sector and served as deputy general manager of the Beijing Branch of China International Travel Service and deputy director of the Beijing Tourism Bureau. He died of illness in 1994.

Yang Zhenglu, the youngest daughter of Yang Hucheng, went to work in the Xinjiang Petroleum Administration Bureau after graduating from the Department of Geology of Northwest University in 1955. She was soon appointed as the exploration team leader and led the team to the Kela Meili area. At the end of September 1958, Yang Zhenglu and his teammates unfortunately died in a snowstorm. He was only 22 years old.

Yang Xie, the eldest grandson of Yang Hucheng, has retired. In April this year, the Yang Hucheng and 17th Route Army Research Association was established in Xi'an, and Yang Xie was also invited to become a member.

Yang Hucheng’s second grandson Yang Han has been working and living in Beijing and immigrated to Canada in 1996. On the eve of the 70th anniversary of the Xi'an Incident, "The Biography of Yang Hucheng" compiled by Yang Han was published. Because he went abroad, Yang Han became one of the few descendants of the Yang family who had met Zhang Xueliang. He went to Hawaii to visit Zhang Xueliang twice in 1999 and 2000.
