Because He Dashan and Wei Xiangcui were extremely biased, their eldest son, He Yongan, was already twenty-five years old and still unmarried. Meanwhile, their second son, He Yongchang, at twenty-four, was married to Wang Guihua and already had two children—the older one, five-year-old Goudan, and the three-year-old younger one, Gousheng.
The third son, He Yongchang, was twenty-two, married to Mao Chunfang, and they had a three-year-old daughter named Daya.
The fourth child, He Yongxia, twenty, had excelled in her studies and later secured a job as a sales clerk at the commune's Supply and Marketing Cooperative, a sensation across ten miles and eight villages at the time. She later married Zhong Xingye, a grassroots cadre at the commune government introduced by a matchmaker, and currently had a newborn son just over five months old.
