He was awarded the Presidential Medal of freedom by US President Truman and the medal of the day by the national government.

Life of the characters
Early experience
He was born on December 27, 1896 in xiaopingshi village, Jiufeng Town, Lechang County, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province. After the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, his father named him Xue Yangyue because he admired Yue Fei. Later he changed his name to Xue Yue to show that he not only admired Yue Fei, but also practiced it. In 1907 (the 33rd year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty), Xue Yue entered Baoding military academy to study military. He graduated from Baoding Army Academy in 1910. In 1914 (the third year of the Republic of China), after the second revolution, Xue Yue joined the Chinese revolutionary party. Soon after, he resumed his student career and joined the second phase of the second Preparatory School of the Wuchang army for two years. In June 1918 (the seventh year of the Republic of China), he joined the revolutionary army organized by Dr. Sun Yat Sen to assist the Fujian Guangdong army. He served as the chief of the general headquarters. He entered Fujian with the army and occupied more than 20 counties with Zhangzhou as the center. In September 1920 (the ninth year of the Republic of China), he returned to Guangdong with the army to attack the GUI army led by Cen Chunxuan. At that time, Deng Keng (Zhongyuan), the chief of staff of the Guangdong army, was also the commander of the first division. Xue Yue was appointed major commander of the machine gun company. The next year, the machine gun company expanded into a battalion, and Xue Yue was promoted to battalion commander. In May 1921 (the tenth year of the Republic of China), Sun Yat Sen took office as the president of Guangzhou. Deng Keng was ordered to set up the security corps of the grand presidential palace. Chen Keyu, chief of staff of the first division, was the head of the security corps. Xue Yue, ye Ting and Zhang Fakui were the commanders of the first, second and third battalions respectively. In August of the same year, Sun Yat Sen went back to the Xijiang River to Guilin to set up the headquarters of the Northern Expedition army, and Xue Yue served as the guard of the presidential palace of Sun Wen. In March 1922 (the eleventh year of the Republic of China), Chen Jiongming, commander-in-chief of the Guangdong army, destroyed the revolution and stabbed Deng Keng to death. In April, Xue Yue escorted Sun Yat Sen back to Guangdong and set up his headquarters in Shaoguan. In early June, he escorted Sun Yat Sen and his wife Song Qingling back from Shaoguan to Guangzhou. In the early hours of June 16, Chen Jiongming overtly defected and ordered his troops, such as ye Ju and Hong Zhaolin, to besiege Yuexiu building and the presidential palace. Ye Ting camp of the guard regiment sticks to the front door of the presidential palace, while Xue Yue's headquarters sticks to the back door. The fighting lasted more than 10 hours. The guard regiment protects Song Qingling to break through. Ye Ting's whole camp opened the way ahead. Xue Yue led the rear of the machine gun camp and sent Mrs. sun to the stone house where Zhong Rongguang, President of Lingnan University, lived. Sun Yat Sen boarded the Yongfeng warship just before the incident. after the detachment of the guard regiment, Xue Yue took part of the soldiers of the guard regiment to the Pearl River Yongfeng warship and continued to guard Sun Yat Sen. Soon after, at the order of Sun Yat Sen, Tonglin Zhimian and others secretly went to Wuzhou, Guangxi to fight the rebellion. At the same time, Xu Chongzhi's division of the Guangdong army was blocked and forced to leave for Fuzhou, and the military action was suspended. Xue Yue secretly took the ship "Daming" to Hong Kong and then transferred to Shanghai to report the situation of Guangxi to Sun Yat Sen. In 1924 (the 13th year of the Republic of China), Chiang Kai Shek led his troops to fight against Chen Jiongming. Xue Yue served as major general's deputy and chief of staff of the first division of Guangdong army. In February 1925 (the fourteenth year of the Republic of China), he served as deputy division commander and head of the fourteenth regiment of the fourteenth division of the first army. In the second eastern expedition, he often won more with less. He was praised by Chiang Kai Shek for his remarkable results.
The Northern Expedition
In July 1926 (the 15th year of the Republic of China), the National Revolutionary Army vowed to launch the northern expedition. Xue Yue's first and second divisions were the general reserve forces. They were the main force of the Northern Expedition and the commander-in-chief Chiang Kai Shek. In early September, he went to Liuyang from Changsha and launched an attack on Sun Chuanfang's troops in Jiangxi Province. The offensive and defensive battle of Nanchang city was the most fierce battle between the Northern Expedition army and the sun army. The city wall was recovered twice. The revolutionary army was defeated and suffered great setbacks. Only the third regiment of the first division, led by Xue Yue, fought bravely all the time. On the third day of March, Chiang Kai Shek called the whole regiment as a model. In Chiang Kai Shek's review of the causes of his defeat in the war, inaccurate maps were the main reason. This is a great lesson for Xue Yue. Over the next 20 years, Xue Yue paid more attention to the actual geographical environment and maps. The whole territory of Jiangxi Province was eliminated, the revolutionary army prepared to go east to Shanghai and Hangzhou, and the battle sequence was rearranged. The first division of the first army was assigned to he Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, and Bai Chongxi, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy. In the middle of December, Xue Yue was promoted to be the first division commander and led the Ministry eastward. Due to the tendency of the military and political personnel in Zhejiang towards the national government, the revolutionary army progressed smoothly and rapidly. On February 18, 1927 (the 16th year of the Republic of China), he led the troops to conquer Hangzhou, and then all the armies attacked Shanghai and Nanjing. Xue Yue led the first division from Hangzhou to Jiaxing. In order to make it easy for the army to move in this area, Xue Yue got the cooperation of Qinghong gang leaders and informed the disciples to set up temporary bridges to facilitate the March. As a result, he rushed to Minhang in a short time, surrounded and attacked Shanghai with friendly forces, and conquered Shanghai on March 20.
Agrarian Revolution
After the failure of Nanchang Uprising on August 1, Helong, Zhude and yeting led the uprising troops to Guangdong and settled in Chaomei area. Xue Yuefeng and Li Jishen ordered the new second division to quickly go to Jieyang and Puning areas, cooperate with Chen Jitang and Xu Jingtang, and launch a fierce battle with the rebel army in tangkeng. The four regiments of the headquarters were defeated, the division headquarters were surrounded, and the whole division was about to be destroyed. At this time, Ou Zhen, the commander of Ye Ting's battalion, defected and defected. He seized the opportunity to launch a counter attack in the cooperation of Deng Longguang, who came to reinforce the troops. The Red Army was outnumbered and was forced to retreat. As soon as the battle of tangkeng was over, Xue Yue led the spy company to move forward with light clothes, quickly occupied Shantou City, and no other troops were allowed to enter Shantou. All the important departments, all kinds of fat and lack, are arranged to be in charge of their own relatives and friends. On November 17, 1927 (the 16th year of the Republic of China), Zhang Fakui and Huang Qixiang launched a coup in Guangzhou, seizing Li Jishen's military and political power in Guangdong. Xue Yue also openly defected to Li Jishen and took refuge with Zhang Fakui. The newly compiled second division was reorganized into the first teaching division of the Fourth Army of the national revolutionary army. He served as the division commander. Except that the fourth regiment was stationed in the Chen ancestral temple in the West Village of Guangzhou, all the others were transferred to Jiangmen. On December 11, 1927 (the 16th year of the Republic of China), Zhang Tailei, Ye Ting and other communists led and launched the Guangzhou Uprising. Xue Yuefeng sent a telegram to Zhang Fakui, and the two regiments of the research institute arrived in Henan from Jiangmen on the morning of the 12th. At 3:30, he attacked the Dongdi area from Shimin Shichang River, searched along Yonghan road and attacked the finance department. At this time, the fourth regiment of its division in Guangzhou was attacking Guanyin Mountain. At 8 am, after occupying the mountain, the fourth regiment attacked the general headquarters of Guangzhou Uprising (the former Municipal Public Security Bureau) five times in a row, all of which were repulsed. However, it was at 10 pm that Li Fulin's Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Army and the "death squads" of the right-wing workers in Guangzhou took over the general headquarters of the rebel army. Then white terror enveloped Guangzhou city. On January 24, 1928 (the 17th year of the Republic of China), Xue Yue and Miao Peinan led their way to Northeast Jiangxi and went north to take refuge with Chiang Kai Shek. On April 6, 1928, we arrived at the canal station. The next day, he was received by Chiang Kai Shek and incorporated into the battle sequence of the first group army. He entered Dezhou, Shandong Province on the 31st. In July, he and Miao Peinan took the lead in responding to Chiang Kai Shek's call for disarmament. They encouraged the officers and assistants above the colonel to jointly submit a letter demanding the abolition of the Fourth Army. In mid September, the fourth army was reduced to the fourth division, with Miao Peinan as division commander and Zhu Huiri as deputy division commander. Unable to meet Chiang Kai Shek, Xue Yue was forced to leave the army and go south to live in Kowloon. Before long, he took part in the anti Jiang activities of Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo and others. At the beginning of 1929 (the 18th year of the Republic of China), Yu Zuobei was appointed chairman of Guangxi provincial government by Chiang Kai Shek for his contribution in planning to overthrow Guangxi. Xue Yue and Yu are classmates of the second phase of Wuchang army preparatory school and Baoding military academy. In May, at the order of Wang Jingwei and Chen Gongbo, he and Li langru took office in the south of Shanghai under the leadership of Yu Zuopu. When they passed Guangzhou, they urged Yu to drive away Chen Jitang and unify Guangdong and Guangdong as a base for anti Chiang Kai Shek. Yu feeling suddenly, not the same
