"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a banquet for my old superior Mr. Zhang and my Chinese friend Mr. Li Feng from the United States. Thank you for coming to Heyuan. I hope you all have a happy evening tonight."
When he returned to the banquet garden of Heyuan, he Li, as the host, said a word to indicate the beginning of the banquet, which was in line with his military character and made a quick decision. After a word, he said the banquet.
As for the old man he Shili, Li Feng, after chatting with old man Zhang and his own understanding, also knows something about old man he's personal evaluation. Although he came from the National Party, he is full of good feelings for the old man.
Although the old man is also of mixed blood, he is different from the descendants of He Dong family. Although he is the son of He Dong, a rich man in Hong Kong, he has been proud of the Chinese people since childhood. Many of his body evaluation stories have become allusions for many people to educate their children.
It is said that when he was 9 years old, his father He Dong was impolite to entertain the visiting Hong Kong Governor Mai in He Dong garden. The Hong Kong governor asked what happened when he Li was only 9 years old and said, "your parents are British now. Are you proud to be naturalized with your parents in the UK?"
At that time, he Shili, who was only 9 years old, shook his head and told him in Chinese: "I'm Chinese. There's nothing wrong with it." This unexpected answer embarrassed the new governor who was full of colonial superiority at that time.
He even went to court with his father because of his nationality. It is said that when he was a teenager, he had serious differences with his father because of his nationality. He appealed to the court in greater Shanghai. Finally, the court decided what ceremony was Chinese nationality. At that time, it caused a sensation in Shanghai, and most Chinese admired his national integrity.

When I was an adult, I wanted to join the army. First, I was admitted to the British military academy to learn military skills and cultivate a strong physique. Then I entered the artillery academy to specialize in artillery. Before graduation, I interned in the British armored forces. My goal was to become a first-class military talent. At that time, such military talents were very rare in China.
After studying and returning home, I found that everything I studied abroad was almost useless in China at that time. After all, the domestic warlords fought in scuffles at that time, and the artillery were scarce and regarded as treasure. It was pitiful to have less, not to mention the armored soldiers.
Due to the prominent family affairs of the ho family, you should know that at the time of the uprising of the founding father, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, they were helped by overseas Chinese, including the ho family in Hong Kong. Naturally, the ho family is not short of relationship. Many people say they can help and let what ceremony go through the back door. It's okay to have a high official and high salary, but what ceremony politely declined.
Later, he heard that old man Zhang (Young Marshal) in the Northeast worked hard, had a broad vision and recruited talents. Then he thought that the Northeast was adjacent to North Korea under Japanese occupation across the river, and there were aggressive Japanese Kwantung troops stationed in Dalian and Lushun. Liaodong was actually the most important national defense front, which was the place where he was eager to display his talents.
It was with this mentality and the ambition to fight for the country that he Shili turned to Shenyang and directly went to the northeast border chief office to meet the Young Marshal at that time. Mr. Zhang also specially received him. After all, he Shili is not an ordinary person, but the prince of what family in Hong Kong.
However, after the two met and talked freely, they hated to meet late. Master Zhang found that he Shili was flexible and clear-minded, had a deep view of problems, was young and brave, had a high degree of education and outstanding military talent. Master Zhang was very happy and admired his courage and national integrity. After all, no one can put down the life of the super rich, but they join the army on the front line.
……
According to Mr. Zhang's account a few days ago, he Shili clearly said that the Kwantung Army would attack the Northeast in one or two years, because the Japanese civilian government simply could not control the arrogant military headquarters, let alone the Kwantung Army in Nanman, which was fully supported by the Governor General in Korea.
He suggested that Zhang Lao speed up the construction of Huludao military port, reorganize the artillery, navy and air force in the northeast, and withdraw more than 200 aircraft and Arsenal equipment from Fengtian in batches if necessary, so as not to be damaged once attacked by the Japanese army.
It can be said that he Shili's suggestion was very pertinent. Later history has shown that the military arsenal and aircraft artillery of the Northeast Army in the Northeast became Japan's booty and suffered heavy losses.
Zhang felt the same at that time. He supported the crisis alone. The most distressing thing was that the central government had little support for him and had no intention to help him resist the Japanese attack.
Mr. Zhang wanted to directly appoint he Shili as his senior staff and deputy chief of staff of the artillery, and actually conferred the rank of colonel. Unexpectedly, he Shili politely refused. He said that he had too little seniority and had not brought soldiers, so he was difficult to convince the public. He would rather go to the grass-roots level to practice. It can be said that he Shili was a very rare professional military talent in China at that time.
Mr. Zhang valued him more in his heart at that time. After all, he didn't want senior officials. He would rather go to the grass-roots level for exercise, and he didn't want to plating gold. He had real talent and learning. Mr. Zhang was naturally happy to have such a subordinate.
……
When he Shili joined the Northeast Army, out of patriotism or love for his son, He Dong sent a message to Zhang Xueliang through his son, saying that he was willing to take the lead in strengthening weapons and equipment for the Northeast Army.
He Dong expressed his willingness to support the Northeast Army to buy various artillery, establish one or two artillery divisions and two mechanized brigades to strengthen the strength of the Northeast Army. Zhang Xueliang refused because of the reaction of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
It can be said that during that difficult period, those patriotic overseas Chinese around the world represented by He Dong provided a lot of support for China, whether wealth or talent and technology.
Later, Mr. Zhang appointed he Shili as the artillery company commander of the Wang Tiehan regiment stationed in Beidaying, Shenyang, and conferred the rank of captain. He voluntarily gave up his senior military post and rank and preferred to work at the grass-roots level, which was also very rare in the Chinese army at that time.
Yes, it was the "Beidaying" and Wang Tiehan in the history book. After the 9 / 18 Incident broke out, he personally experienced the soul stirring, bloody and humiliating night. Chiang's "no resistance" policy soon led to the fall of the northeast. It is conceivable what happened to a professional soldier and the humiliation and depression in his heart.
Later, with the outbreak of the Xi'an Incident, he Shili was also dismissed. However, due to its prominent background, he Shili was used again. Later, he led the artillery troops at that time on the Anti Japanese battlefield.
……
At that time, he led the only Artillery Force in China to fight around with general Xue Yue. For example, in the famous Lanfeng blood station, his Artillery Force severely damaged the artillery position in front of the daily average and destroyed the daily average chariot. He was injured twice without leaving the line of fire and stayed on the front line for a while.
Later, he helped Xue Yue win the great victory of Wanjialing with his artillery, which boosted the morale of Chinese soldiers. However, in China at that time, what was the best military talent in the use of Artillery Forces.
Later, he returned to the rear and engaged in logistics work. After all, his special identity and special study experience gave him certain advantages in contacting the four sides and the United States, so as to provide a steady stream of materials for the front-line Anti Japanese battlefield.
Then there was the civil war. He had been in Guangdong Province all the time. The intention of Chiang Kai Shek's government to push anything in Guangdong Province was self-evident. After all, Hong Kong is separated from Guangdong Province by a river. Moreover, he is the heir of Ho family in Hong Kong and has a great reputation among overseas Chinese.
Later, he retired to tw. After his father died in the 1950s, out of disappointment with TW, he Li, who was already a second-class general at that time, resigned without hesitation, returned to Hong Kong and inherited his family business. It has to be said that the so-called gold will shine everywhere.
After inheriting the family business, under the leadership of He Dong family, the family business is booming. Although the family wealth has been surpassed by the latecomers, now the family assets of He Dong family will never be less than tens of billions of assets, and He Dong family has become one of the richest people in Hong Kong.
Naturally, for such an old man, he hates the "t independence" who is making a lot of noise now, and his patriotic feelings are respected by people.
……
It can be said that when Li Feng learned about the old man he's health, his popularity soared, and he admired the old man over 90 in front of him.
