In 1975, China and the Philippines established diplomatic relations. Philippine President Max visited China and sent a number of boxes of cigars to Premier Zhou Enlai. The Prime Minister took a box and transferred it to General Ye Fei, saying: "Comrade Ye Fei is a Chinese general and the son of the Philippines.”

China’s founding general, Ye Fei(叶飞)
Ye Fei, formerly known as Ye Qiheng, used the name Ye Hao. It is a famous general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. It is known for its brave and good warfare. It is known as the Sanye "Powerful general" and enjoys a good reputation both inside and outside the military. He served as commander and political commissar of the first column of the East China Field Army, commander of the 10th Corps of the Third Field Army, commander of the Fuzhou Military Region, first political commissar, commander of the navy, and vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. Among the republican generals awarded in 1955, only Ye Fei has dual citizenship status. General Ye Fei’s legendary military career is still being talked about today.

Committed to the revolution, arrested and imprisoned, parents rescued
On May 7, 1914, Ye Fei was born in a mountain town on Luzon Island, Philippines. Father Ye Weiwei, a native of Nan'an, Fujian Province, crossed the sea in 1900 and made a living in the town of Yawangwang, Quezon Province, Philippines. Later, the native of the country, Miss Mercato, married two sons, Ye Fei was the second son, and the Philippines was named Sisto McAlto Diungo. When Ye Fei was five years old, he left his mother and returned to his home in Jintao, Nan'an County, Fujian Province with his father.

At the age of 14, Ye Fei was studying in Xiamen. The "four-one-two" coup launched by Chiang Kai-shek made the beautiful Ludao all the wind and rain, and Ye Fei became the youngest revolutionary in the underground party in Xiamen. Shortly after joining the revolution, Ye Fei was arrested by the reactionaries. Because he did not reveal his identity, he was sentenced to one year in the name of the suspect and was rescued by the party organization.

Young Ye Fei

When the mother learned that her son was arrested, she gave up everything in her family and worked hard with her father to ask the Philippine authorities to extradite. According to Philippine law, if you have a Philippine birth certificate, you have Philippine citizenship. In order to save your son from jail, the mother, after the authorities promised to extradite, personally took a boat to China to pick up his son. Ye Fei has been released from prison when his mother arrived in Hong Kong. He took a telegram to his mother and said that he would go to Japan to study and ask his mother to go back to the Philippines. Since then, Ye Fei has joined the revolution and has not been able to contact his mother. But Ye Fei has always treasured a diamond ring and a photo left by his mother.

The bullet remained in the chest for 66 years and was taken out until the death.
Admiral Ye Fei is a famous warrior of our army and a famous blessing. In the revolutionary war years, although Ye Fei was in distress five times, but because he has the courage and dedication, he can save his life every time.

At noon one day in the winter of 1933, Ye Fei, who was inspected in the east of Fujian Province, went to the Lion House Inn in Fu'an County and a comrade joint, and was accidentally stalked by the Fuan County Kuomintang spy. Ye Feigang went to the second floor of the inn, and the three spies swarmed up and dropped them to the ground. Ye Fei strongly resisted. A spy is a shot at Ye Fei’s head. Ye Fei was shot in the head, but his head was very clear, lying on the ground and pretending to die. After a while, Ye Fei heard the voice of the agents going downstairs, thinking that they were all gone, so they struggled to look up. Unexpectedly, the spy was still leaving a person at the scene. Seeing that Ye Fei was not dead, he shot three shots at Ye Fei, respectively, and hit Ye Fei’s head and chest. Ye Fei is really hard, and his mind is still clear. He accepted the last lesson and was lying still in the pool of blood. After a long time, the agents left, and Ye Fei opened his eyes. However, due to excessive blood loss, several efforts did not stand up. After a short break, he survived a short break and climbed upstairs to the downstairs. He climbed to a small ditch outside the inn until he finally passed out due to lack of physical strength.

Fortunately, the party branch sent people to the inn to investigate the situation and found that Ye Fei fainted beside the ditch and lifted him back. The party branch also asked Ye Fei for a doctor. Due to limited conditions, the doctor could only clean the wound and could not take out the bullets in Ye Fei. So, the next day, the party branch sent Ye Fei to the guerrillas on the nearby hills for surgery. The doctor found that the bullet hitting the head of the flying head was originally from the left ear side, but after hitting the skull, the direction moved down and ran to the lower face of Ye Fei's right face, so it was very easy to take it out. However, the bullet in the chest cannot be removed due to conditions. This bullet stayed in General Ye Fei for 66 years until he died before he was taken out of the ashes.

Good at catching fighting opportunities, playing hard, and making great achievements
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ye Fei served as the head of the Sixth Regiment of the New Fourth Army and resolutely implemented the instructions of the CPC Central Committee to develop towards the enemy. In May 1939, he led the ministry to the Sunan area of the Sundial invading army. He attacked the Suzhou Shushuguan Railway Station in the night, causing the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway to be transported for three days, and then approached Shanghai, broke into the Hongqiao Airport and destroyed the enemy plane. Four of them shocked the enemy's puppet army and invigorated the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou anti-Japanese people. Since then, the reputation of the new Fourth Army has spread to China and foreign countries. In December 1939, Ye Fei led the department into northern Jiangsu. In February 1940, the smashing of the Japanese smashed the "sweeping". In March, the aided half-tower set, together with the Jidong brothers, smashed the anti-communist offensive of the Kuomintang diehards. In June, he triumphantly commanded Guo Cun to defend the battle, defeating the siege of the 13th Regiment with two regiments; then he took part in the Yellow Bridge decisive battle and continued to fight with the strength of the three regiments. The Brigade and the 89th Army and the 34th Brigade have made significant contributions. In March 1944, he commanded the famous battle of the axles and destroyed more than 500 people in the Japanese invaders. The book "The Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army in the Eight Years of the War of Resistance Against Japan" prepared by the General Political Department of the Eighteenth Group Army said: "In the history of the war of resistance, this is one. Four or four years ago, the Japanese army captured the most in a battle."

In May 1939, Ye Fei (middle), deputy commander of "Jiang Kang" and secretary of the East Road Working Committee, was on Yangcheng Lake.

During the War of Liberation, from 1946 to 1948, Comrade Ye Fei served as commander and political commissar of the first column of the East China Field Army. Whether it is the division of the division, the reinforcement of the reinforcements, or the role of the frontal offensive, they have accomplished the task well. In the Battle of Northern Jiangsu, the Sixty-ninth Division of the Entrepreneur Division and the Eleventh Division of the Compilation of the Enemy were boldly interspersed, and the eleventh division, known as one of the "Five Major Forces", was indiscriminately disrupted the enemy command system and accelerated all Enemy the process of reorganizing the Sixty-ninth Division. In the battle of Laiwu, Ye Fei took care of the overall situation and sacrificed a column to clamp down more than 40,000 enemy troops. This battle enemened more than 56,000 enemies. In the summary of the campaign, Deputy Commander Hua Ye Su Yu said: "In the vertical cooperation, one vertical is the most difficult. Although it has not been captured, it has played a decisive role in the entire campaign and should be counted as the first."

In January 1947, the East China Field Army led together. From left: Ye Fei, Ding Qiusheng, Wei Guoqing, Deng Zihui, Chen Yi, Tang Liang, Su Yu, Chen Shizhen,

In the famous Battle of Meng Liangzhu, under the leadership of Comrades Chen Yi, Su Yu, and Tan Zhenlin, Ye Fei was temporarily ordered. The first column was changed from the general reserve team to interspersed troops, splitting strong enemies, and participating in the organization of the general attack. The 74th Division of the enemy "Ace Army" made a major contribution and made a heavy blow to the Kuomintang reactionaries.

In March 1949, he served as commander of the 10th Corps of the Third Field Army. Leading the ministry to participate in the cross-river battle, breaking through the Kuomintang army defensive positions in one fell swoop, and fighting for the Jiangyin Fortress Kuomintang army uprising, played an important role for our military to successfully break through the Yangtze River natural danger. Subsequently, the department liberated Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, cut off the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, and occupied Suzhou. In May, the department participated in the Shanghai campaign. After the liberation of Shanghai, the Tenth Corps marched into Fujian, and successively organized and directed the Battle of Fuzhou and the Battle of Xia (State), killing more than 100,000 KMT troops.

In October 1951, Yang Yong (from left), Zhang Aiping, Wang Ping, and Ye Fei were in the Korean battlefield.


Chairman Mao: I finally met the true face of Lushan
In October 1953, Ye Fei arrived in Beijing on the same day, that is, with the leaders of East China and the East China Military Region, such as Chen Yi and Zhang Dingyu, came to Zhongnan Haishuniantang. Thinking of seeing the great leader Chairman Mao, Ye Fei’s heart could not be calm for a long time. He just sat down, and Chairman Mao was accompanied by Peng Dehuai, who presided over the work of the Military Commission, and strode in. Chairman Mao nodded to Chen Yi and Zhang Ding, and went straight to Ye Fei: "You are Ye Fei?"

Ye Fei got up and made a report: "Chairman, I am Ye Fei."

Mao Zedong esotericly grasped Ye Fei’s hand and looked at him: “I have been dealing with it for so many years, and today I finally met the true face of Lushan.”

In a short sentence, there was a warm current in Ye Fei’s heart.

After Mao Zedong greeted everyone to sit down, he asked Ye Fei to report on the progress of the Xiamen seawall. Mao Zedong listened earnestly and repeatedly praised the Xiamen Seawall Project for its vision. It is a hundred-year plan. It is not only for the current preparations for war, but also for immeasurable significance for future economic construction.

Then, Ye Fei reported on the strategic deployment of the Fujian front line. Mao Zedong said: "Dongshan Island fights well. They (KMT) may be honest for a while, but they will not always be honest. They must be vigilant and have a mental preparation for war. But in any case, the opportunity to fight in the future. It is much less, and we must concentrate on production and construction."

Speaking of this, Mao Zedong swept a glance at everyone and said: "Hiccup, we have experience; if we are building, we must re-learn, learn from the Soviet Union, learn from practice, learn from all the insiders. In addition, we must sink Studying under the heart, not only reading political books, learning Marxism-Leninism theory, but also reading some history, but also reading some technical knowledge books."

Ye Fei remembered this in his heart, read a lot of historical books, and used to quote the classics in his speech.

On August 2, 1979, Ye Fei (from left), Deng Xiaoping, Rao Shoukun, and Du Yide were on the deck of the 05 ship.


Promoted Shenzhen "OCT"
Shenzhen has an overseas Chinese city, which is well known in the overseas Chinese and tourism circles. Its fame is brought out by two tourism projects, one is “Jinxiu Zhonghua” and the other is “Folklore Culture Village”. When visitors are lingering in the beautiful village of Sims, they may not know that the proponents and decision makers who exploited this land are Ye Fei. Even the name "OCT" is the original of Ye Fei.

At that time, Ye Fei was the vice chairman of the National People's Congress and the director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress. He was entrusted by the Central Committee and also managed the Overseas Chinese Affairs Association and the entire overseas Chinese affairs. In order to attract overseas Chinese to return to China, Ye Fei and the governor of Guangdong Liang Liangguang agreed to set up an area for the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and build an “OCT” in Shenzhen as a window for overseas Chinese to return to China. Overseas Chinese investing in China can first set up industrial projects in OCT, and then expand to the mainland after success. In addition to the role of the window, this also serves as a model for overseas Chinese to return to China, and it can also be said that it is a test field for overseas Chinese to return to China. The practice of OCT proves that Ye Fei’s idea is very valuable.

From the Party Central Committee and the State Council to the local provincial and municipal leaders, they attach great importance to the construction of OCT, and they have high hopes and strong support. Hu Yaobang, then General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, personally wrote the title of "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone". In October 1989, China’s first micro-tourism scenic spot “Jinxiu China” was officially completed. Less than a year after the opening, all the investment was recovered. Then, the new theme park tourist attractions “Chinese Folk Culture Village”, “Window of the World” and “Happy Valley” were also opened and opened. Through investment promotion, not only the original few enterprises before 1985 achieved rapid development, but also quickly established a number of new joint ventures, cooperative enterprises and projects.

China-Philippines common pride
Ye Fei served as the vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and received parliamentary delegations from the European Parliament and Nepal, Australia, Thailand, Turkey and other countries. He received Chinese, overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese leaders from five continents. And celebrities, it is difficult to count. However, he only visited the country twice, and it is a place where overseas Chinese are relatively concentrated. One was in December 1984, the National People's Congress delegation visited Myanmar, Thailand, and once in January 1989, led a delegation to visit the Philippines. Both visits have been a complete success and have had a great impact at home and abroad. In particular, the visit to the Philippines has caused unprecedented sensation in the community and left a glorious page in the history of Sino-Philippine friendship.

In January 1989, Ye Fei, at the invitation of the Philippine Senate President Shalonga, led a delegation of the National People's Congress of China to visit the Philippines. This is the first time he returned to the country where he raised him 70 years later. Ye Fei reported to the Central Committee about his family situation in the Philippines and proposed to sweep the graves for his parents during his visit to the Philippines to show that the Chinese Communists did not abandon their parents. The central government agreed to his arrangement and informed the Philippine side. The Philippine Senate and the House of Representatives attached great importance to Ye Fei’s visit and made special arrangements. Ye Fei’s government found the birth certificate and baptism registration record of Ye Fei and rebuilt the tomb of Ye Fei’s parents. Wang Yingfan, the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines, invited Ye Fei’s younger brother to the embassy to be a guest, and assisted the Philippine side in arranging all the activities of Ye Fei’s return to his hometown on January 29. All news newspapers and magazines published prominently on Ye Fei’s article and Ye Fei’s upcoming visit to the Philippines.

On January 25, Ye Fei led a delegation to the Philippines. The Philippine side gave Ye Fei second only to the courtesy of the head of state. The reporter surrounded Ye Fei and asked him to talk about his feelings. Ye Fei said: "Small and small, the boss left home, the sound of the country has not changed, but I don’t understand the sound of the township."

On January 29, Ye Fei and her daughter accompanied by the husband and wife of Ambassador Wang Yingfan went to the town of Diwangwang, 70 km from Manila, to sweep the graves for their parents and meet relatives and friends. Deyangwang Town is located in the middle of the mountainous area. The scenery is very beautiful among the coconut trees in the mountains. Ye Fei and his entourage came to the cemetery. It was already crowded with people. The people from the whole town came out. Many people from Manila wanted to see the local-born Chinese general. Ye Fei wore a white suit and led the whole family to the tomb of his parents, and presented a large bouquet of yellow roses.

Through this visit to the Philippines, Ye Fei became a well-known Chinese leader in the Philippines.

In 1988, Ye Fei cordially met with representatives of the "Huazhi" returning delegation.

At the beginning of 1990, the Philippine ambassador to China, Mali Lanan, just arrived, and first came to visit Ye Fei. The conversation between the two was relaxed and active, filled with strong nostalgia.

On April 18, 1999, Comrade Ye Fei died in Beijing due to illness at the age of 85.

After the death of Ye Fei, the Philippines established the "Ye Fei General Memorial Park" and "Ye Fei School" in Ye Fei's hometown, and erected a bronze statue of Ye Fei in the "Ye Fei General Memorial Park" and held it. The unveiling ceremony of the bronze statue of Ye Fei. The Governor of Quezon Province of the Philippines, the representative of the Fiji Chamber of Commerce and representatives of the Ye Family Clan Association, relatives of Ye Fei and the Philippine community attended the ceremony. Qian Shugen, chief of staff of the Philippine Army and deputy chief of staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, presented a flower basket to the bronze statue of Ye Fei.

The Philippine people carved two lines of words on the bronze base of General Ye Fei:

Filipino son of Chinese hero, Chinese son of Filipino hero

开国上将叶飞:菲律宾的儿子中国的英雄,中国的儿子菲律宾的英雄
原创 祖国网 2019-05-08 17:58:00
1975年,中国和菲律宾建交。菲总统马克斯访华,送周恩来总理数盒雪茄。总理取一盒转送叶飞将军,说:“叶飞同志是中国的将军,也是菲律宾的儿子。”

开国上将叶飞

叶飞,原名叶启亨,曾用名叶琛。是中国人民解放军的著名将领,以骁勇善战著称,被称为三野“悍将”,在军内外享有盛誉。他曾任华东野战军第一纵队司令员兼政委,第三野战军第十兵团司令员,福州军区司令员、第一政委,海军司令员,全国人大常委会副委员长等职。在1955年授衔的共和国上将中,惟有叶飞具有双重国籍身份。叶飞将军传奇般的军事生涯,今天仍被人们所津津乐道。

投身革命,被捕入狱,父母倾力营救
1914年5月7日,叶飞生于菲律宾吕宋岛的一个山区小镇。父亲叶荪卫,福建南安人,1900年漂洋过海,至菲律宾奎松省地亚望镇谋生。后娶当地人麦尔卡托小姐为妻,生两子,叶飞是次子,菲律宾名为西思托·麦卡尔托·迪翁戈。叶飞五岁时,离开母亲,随父亲回到福建省南安县金淘老家。

14岁那年,叶飞正在厦门读书。蒋介石发动的“四·一二”政变使美丽的鹭岛到处都是腥风血雨,叶飞却在这时成为厦门地下党中最年轻的革命者。投身革命不久,叶飞被反动派逮捕,因没暴露身份,只以嫌疑犯的名义,被判了一年刑,后被党组织营救。

青年叶飞

母亲得知儿子被捕后,便放弃家中一切事情,和父亲一起倾尽全力,恳请菲律宾当局出面引渡。按照菲律宾法律,拥有菲律宾出生证,就拥有菲律宾国籍,为使儿子免除牢狱之灾,母亲在当局答应引渡后,亲自坐船到中国来接儿子。在母亲几经周转到达香港时,叶飞已经出狱。他给母亲拍去电报,说自己将去日本留学,请母亲回菲律宾去。此后叶飞投身革命,没能再与母亲联系。但叶飞身边一直珍藏着母亲留给他的一枚钻石戒指和一张照片。

子弹在胸部存留66年,直到去世才取出
叶飞上将是我军有名的战将,也是有名的福将。在革命战争年代,叶飞虽然先后五次遇险,但是由于他有勇有谋,每次都能化险为夷。

1933年冬天的一天中午,在闽东一带巡视工作的叶飞到福安县狮子楼客栈和一位同志接头,一不小心被福安县国民党的特务队盯梢。叶飞刚上客栈二楼,三个特务就一拥而上,将其按倒在地。叶飞极力反抗。一个特务对着叶飞的脑袋就是一枪。叶飞头部中弹,头脑却很清醒,躺在地上装死。过了一会儿,叶飞听到特务们下楼的声音,以为他们都走了,于是挣扎着抬起头。没想到狡猾的特务还在现场留下一个人,见叶飞没死,又向叶飞连开三枪,分别打在叶飞的头、胸等部位。叶飞真是命硬,头脑依然清醒。他接受上次教训,躺在血泊中一动不动。过了许久,特务们都走了,叶飞才睁开眼。但由于失血过多,几次努力都没有站起来。求生欲强的他经过短暂的休息后,憋足了气,从楼上爬到楼下,又爬到客栈外的一条小水沟旁,直至最后因体力不支,昏了过去。

幸运的是,党支部派人到客栈侦察情况,发现叶飞昏倒在水沟旁,就将他抬了回去。党支部还给叶飞请了一个医生,由于条件有限,医生只能将伤口进行简单清洗,无法取出叶飞体内的子弹。于是,第二天,党支部将叶飞送到附近山上的游击队根据地动手术。医生发现,射中叶飞头部的子弹本来是从左耳侧进去的,但是在碰到头骨后,方向下移,跑到了叶飞右脸下方,因此取出来非常容易。但是,胸部的那颗子弹受条件限制无法取出。这颗子弹,在叶飞将军体内停留了66年,直到他去世才从骨灰中取出。

善于抓战机、打硬仗,屡立奇功
抗日战争爆发后,叶飞任新四军第六团团长,坚决贯彻执行中共中央向敌后发展的指示。1939年5月,他率部向日寇侵略军的苏南腹心地区挺进,夜袭苏州浒墅关火车站,使得宁沪铁路断运3天,继而逼近上海,突入虹桥飞机场,击毁敌机4架,震撼了敌伪军,振奋了京沪杭抗日人民,从此新四军的威名传扬中外。1939年12月,叶飞率部进入苏北。1940年2月,粉碎日寇大“扫荡”。3月,驰援半塔集,与皖东兄弟部队一起,粉碎国民党顽固派的反共进攻。6月,他胜利地指挥了郭村保卫战,以两个团击退顽军十三团的围攻;随后率部参加黄桥决战,以三个团的兵力连续战斗,全歼顽军独立六旅和八十九军军部以及第三十四旅大部,作出了重大贡献。1944年3月,他指挥了著名的车桥战役,歼灭日寇500余人,第十八集团军总政治部编写的《抗战八年来的八路军新四军》书中说:“在抗战史上,这是一九四四年以前,在一次战役中生俘日军最多的一次。”

解放战争时期,1946年至1948年,叶飞同志任华东野战军第一纵队司令员兼政治委员。无论是率部穿插分割、阻击增援,还是担当正面进攻重任,都出色地完成了任务。宿北战役中,分割敌整编第六十九师和整编第十一师,大胆穿插,直捣号称“五大主力”之一的整编第十一师师部,错乱敌军指挥系统,加速了全歼敌整编第六十九师的进程。莱芜战役中,叶飞顾全大局,不惜牺牲一个纵队钳制4万余敌军,此战役歼敌5.6万余人。华野粟裕副司令员在战役总结中说:“在各纵的配合上说,一纵最吃力,虽然缴获不大,但在整个战役中起了决定作用,应算第一功。”

著名的孟良崮战役中,在陈毅、粟裕、谭震林同志领导下,叶飞临时受命,第一纵队由总预备队改为穿插部队,分割强敌,并参与组织总攻,各部队密切协同,为全歼敌“王牌军”整编第七十四师作出了重大贡献,给国民党反动派以沉重打击。

1949年3月,他担任第三野战军第十兵团司令员。率领所部参加渡江战役,一举突破国民党军防御阵地,并争取江阴要塞国民党军起义,为我军顺利突破长江天险起到重要作用。随后率部解放丹阳、常州、无锡,切断沪宁铁路,占领苏州。5月,率部参加上海战役。上海解放后,率十兵团进军福建,先后组织指挥福州战役和漳(州)厦(门)战役,歼灭国民党军队10余万人。

毛主席:终于见了庐山真面目
1953年10月,叶飞抵京翌日,即与陈毅、张鼎丞等华东局、华东军区领导人来到中南海颐年堂。想到即将见到伟大领袖毛主席,叶飞心里久久不能平静。他刚坐定,毛主席就在主持军委工作的彭德怀陪同下,大步走进来。毛主席向陈毅、张鼎丞点点头,径直向叶飞走去:“你是叶飞?”

叶飞起身立正报告:“主席,我就是叶飞。”

毛泽东动情地握住了叶飞的手,端详着他:“打了这么多年交道,今天终于见了庐山真面目了。”

短短一句话,在叶飞心里涌起一股暖流。

毛泽东招呼大家坐下后,要叶飞先汇报厦门海堤的进展情况。毛泽东听得认真,连连称赞厦门海堤工程有远见,是百年大计,不仅对当前准备打仗,对今后经济建设也有不可估量的意义。

接着,叶飞又汇报了福建前线的战略部署。毛泽东说:“东山岛战斗打得不错,他们(国民党军)可能会老实一阵子,但不会一直老实下去,要提高警惕,要有打仗的思想准备。但不管怎么说,往后打仗的机会是少多了,要集中精力搞生产、搞建设。”

讲到这里,毛泽东意味深长地扫了大家一眼,说:“打仗,我们有经验;搞建设,就要重新学习,向苏联学习,向实践学习,向所有内行的人学习。此外,还要沉下心来读书,不光读政治书,学马列理论,也要读点历史,还要读点技术知识书。”

叶飞对此铭记在心,熟读了大量历史典籍,在讲话中也习惯引经据典。

催生深圳“华侨城”
深圳有一个华侨城,这在侨界和旅游界,是大有名气的。它的名气是由两个旅游项目带出来的,一个是“锦绣中华”,一个是“民俗文化村”。当游人在优美的模拟山村中流连忘返之际,也许不会知道,开拓这片土地的提议者和决策者,正是叶飞。连“华侨城”这个名字,都是叶飞的原创。

当时,叶飞是全国人大副委员长兼人大华侨委主任,受中央委托,同时兼管侨办侨联以及整个侨务工作。为了吸引海外侨胞回国投资,叶飞亲与广东省长梁灵光商定,在深圳特区内专门划一块地给侨办,在深圳建一个“华侨城”,作为华侨回国投资的一个窗口。回国投资的华侨,可先在华侨城办工业等项目,取得成功后再向内地拓展,除了窗口的作用外,这还起着华侨回国投资的示范作用,也可以说是华侨回国投资的试验田。华侨城的实践证明,叶飞的这一创意,是很有价值的。

从党中央、国务院到当地省、市领导都对华侨城建设非常重视,寄以厚望,给予大力支持。时任中共中央总书记的胡耀邦亲笔为“深圳特区华侨城”题名。1989年10月,华侨城兴建的中国第一座缩微旅游景区“锦绣中华”正式竣工。开放不到一年的时间,就收回了全部投资。接着,新的主题公园旅游景区“中国民俗文化村”、“世界之窗”、“欢乐谷”等,也相继建成开放。通过招商引资,不仅1985年以前原有的少数企业获得了快速发展,而且迅速兴办了一批新的合资、合作企业和项目。

两个国家共同的骄傲
叶飞在全国人大常委会副委员长任上,接待过欧洲议会及尼泊尔、澳大利亚、泰国、土尔其等多个国家的议会代表团,接待过的来自五大洲的华人、华侨社团、华侨领袖和知名人士,难以数计。但他出国访问只有两次,且都是华侨相对集中的地方。一次是1984年12月率全国人大代表团访问缅甸、泰国,一次是1989年1月,率团访问菲律宾。这两次访问均取得圆满成功,在国内外造成很大影响。特别是对菲律宾的访问,引起了社会各界空前的轰动,在中菲友谊史上留下了光辉的一页。

1989年1月,叶飞应菲律宾参议长沙隆加的邀请,率领中国全国人大代表团赴菲律宾访问。这是他70年后首次回到这个生他养他的国度。叶飞向中央报告了自己在菲律宾的家庭情况,提出在访菲期间为父母扫墓,以表示中国共产党人并不背弃父母。中央同意了他的安排,并通知了菲方。菲律宾参众两院对叶飞来访非常重视,做了特别安排。叶飞家乡的政府找到了当年叶飞的出生证和受洗的登记记录,并重修了叶飞父母的墓。中国驻菲律宾大使王英凡把叶飞的弟妹请到使馆做客,并协助菲方安排了1月29日叶飞回乡的全部活动。各新闻报刊都在显著位置刊登介绍叶飞的文章和叶飞即将访菲的消息。

1月25日,叶飞率团赴菲律宾。菲方给予叶飞仅次于国家元首的礼遇。记者围着叶飞,请他谈谈感想,叶飞说:“少小离家老大回,乡音未改鬓毛衰,可我,是连乡音都不懂了啊。”

1月29日,叶飞和女儿在王英凡大使夫妇的陪同下到距马尼拉70公里的地亚望镇为父母扫墓并会见亲友。地亚望镇地处半山区,在漫山遍野的椰树林中,风景十分美丽。叶飞一行来到墓地,那里已经是人山人海,全镇的人都出来了,还有不少从马尼拉来的,都想亲眼看看这个本地出生的中国将军。叶飞身穿白色西服,带领全家大小一起向父母的墓三鞠躬,并敬献了一大束黄玫瑰。

通过此次访菲,叶飞在菲律宾成了知名度很高的象征中菲友谊的中国领导人。

1988年,叶飞亲切会见“华支”回国访问团代表

1990年初,菲律宾驻华大使马里·兰安刚到任,就先来拜会叶飞,两人的谈话轻松活跃,弥漫着浓浓的乡情。

1999年4月18日,叶飞同志因病在北京逝世,享年85岁。

叶飞逝世后,菲律宾在叶飞的家乡建立了“叶飞将军纪念公园”和“叶飞学校”,在“叶飞将军纪念公园”里竖立了一比一高的叶飞铜像,并举行了叶飞铜像揭幕仪式。菲律宾奎松省省长、菲华总商会代表及叶氏宗亲会的代表、叶飞亲属以及菲华各界共一千二百多人出席了仪式。菲律宾军队总参谋长和中国人民解放军副总参谋长钱树根,向叶飞铜像敬献了花篮。

菲律宾的儿子中国的英雄 中国的儿子菲律宾的英雄
