Yang Binglian was once the wife of Zhang Ping, the "devil of Xiangxi", and the only surviving wife of the bandit leader in Xiangxi. Although she is nearly a hundred years old now, she can still vaguely see the beauty of that year from her face. She has a oval face, fair skin and clear eyes, and was rated as "the most beautiful lady in the village" by the media.
Yang Binglian, 16 years old, didn't know that she was Zhang Ping's third wife until she married Zhang Ping. The first two were killed or beaten away by Zhang Ping. Yang Binglian was afraid of her tragedy, but Zhang Ping has always been very kind to her. In this way, she gave birth to eight children for Zhang Ping.
1944, Zhang Ping became the deputy head of the Guzhang self-defense regiment. Yang Binglian really lived a "wife's life": "In the past, there were only servants who cooked and collected rent at home. Later, Zhang Ping's bandit nest was terminated, Zhang Ping was killed, and the local soldiers and civilians made a fool of themselves. Since then, 28-year-old Yang Binglian has become a widow. Although she is the wife of the gang boss, Yang Binglian has done a lot of good things in Zhangjiatuo on weekdays, so the local soldiers and civilians have not embarrassed their mother and son.
Yang Binglian has been living in Zhangjiatuo, Guzhang County, Xiangxi Tujia Autonomous Prefecture, where he runs a clothing store and a mahjong room. On weekdays, he sits in front of the loom and weaves various colors of cloth for a living. Due to its special status, business is also very good. Many visitors here will visit Yang Binglian, the last wife of China, with full curiosity. Now 96-year-old Yang Binglian has a full house of children and grandchildren. She still looks full of energy and does everything by herself.
