Because Fan Shaozeng had many wives and children, many families disputed his funeral after his death, which made it impossible for Fan Shaozeng to be buried. It was not until later, with the assistance of the local government, that Fan Shaozeng was buried in Guofu Mountain in Chongqing.
Over the years, Fan Shaozeng has accumulated a lot of wealth, and he has dozens of wives. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Fan Shaozeng sent away all his wives and concubines, distributed his own property and donated a lot of property to the country.
Fan Shaozeng was born in a landlord family in Dazhou, Sichuan. When he was a child, his family was very rich and Fan Shaozeng had a good life. He is not interested in studying and often plays truant, which makes his family very angry. His grandfather even taught him many times with a stick, but he didn't correct it.
So the locals nicknamed him Van Hale according to the dialect.
Although Fan Shaozeng doesn't like studying, he is very yearning for the deeds of Jianghu heroes, and he will follow him to wander the Jianghu when he grows up. At that time, there was a gang in Sichuan that was as famous as green gang and other organizations, called Paogehui. When Fan Shaozeng was traveling, he met Paoge Club. Under their recommendation, he officially entered the Paoge Club.
Because he has a certain culture and knows how to manage money, he quickly became famous in Paoge Club and gradually became the boss of the local Paoge Club. Fan Shaozeng is not content to be the boss of only one gang, but he has bigger ambitions. He joined the army in the war against Yuan Shikai, so he was highly appreciated by the League boss Yan.
Since then, Fan Shaozeng has become a regular army, followed the League and started a revolution.
After the Anti-Japanese War, Fan Shaozeng was ignored because of his meritorious military service, so Chiang Kai-shek chose to abandon him. This made Fan Shaozeng very dissatisfied. He began to make contact with Democrats and privately with China. During the War of Liberation, Fan Shaozeng actively cooperated with the People's Liberation Army to liberate Sichuan. He also successfully organized an army uprising and cooperated with the PLA to enter Sichuan.
