The nationwide event of Lin Biao choosing a concubine for his son, Lin Liguo, was made a big fuss over by his subordinates. After the "September 13th" incident, the story of selecting concubines became known to every household. However, the story of Lin Biao choosing a son-in-law for his daughter Lin Doudou is little known. This article reveals the historical truth about Lin Biao's selection of a son-in-law and the story of the "prospective son-in-law," Lin Zhengyi.
Being chosen by Lin Biao
In June 1968, at Liaoning University,
two mysterious "uninvited guests" from Beijing approached the military propaganda team of the Chinese Department, saying that they were here "to select secretaries for central leaders." The specific conditions were: "Politically clean, physically healthy, erudite, talented in many ways, and one prerequisite condition, this person must be unmarried. Height must be above 1.70 meters, age around 26 years old, good-looking with proper demeanor, preferably studying liberal arts." However, the true purpose of these two individuals' visit was actually to choose a son-in-law for Lin, the forever healthy vice commander at that time.
