[HIGHLIGHTS] Xu Xiangqian’s son: His father’s purpose in running to Huangpu was to make China rich, powerful and independent.

Xu Xiaoyan, son of Xu Xiangqian, gave an exclusive interview to a China News Service reporter and showed how his father went to Huangpu in 1924. "My father is generally low-key and not particularly sociable," he said.

In 1927, the Kuomintang 'divided the Communist Party, and my father joined it at this time," he added. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Xiangquian commanded the Fourth Red Army of 40,000.
