Talk:Feng Yuxiang

Untitled

I was surprised to find today that I have a photograph of Feng posing with his child and wife taken in Kalgan during the 1920s. Has anyone else come across mention of Feng's wife and child?

Bias?

"Feng, like many young officers, was seduced by revolutionary romanticism and was nearly executed for treason." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.94.126 (talk • contribs)

I think "seduced" is used rather acceptably. "Romanticism" probably rings half true: he probably didn't join for the sake of establishing a republic. Rather it seems like it was more for the sake of the appeal of being in a revolution (seeing how he ruled as a dictator).

Feng, like many young officers, was became involved in revolutionary activity and was nearly executed for treason. That should be neutral enoughAsiaticus (talk) 22:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Christian Socialism?

This is a definite creed and I don't think Feng followed it. He was a socialist only to the degree he accepted Sun Yat Sen's ideas. --GwydionM (talk) 20:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Final role

Saying "he spent his later years supporting the left-wing of the KMT" means nothing unless you know where they were alligned. That most of them ended up as minor allies of the the Communist-dominated government of the People's Republic. --86.24.141.224 (talk) 10:28, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Feng Yü-hsiang → Feng Yuxiang – According to WP:Pinyin convention, all Chinese romanisations should be written in Pinyin, with some certain exceptions where the other romanization name is more commonly used.Plus, "Feng Yuxiang" is far more used than "Feng Yü-hsiang". Also, the page has been moved to this page in 2020 by an user with the reason of "the person was before the creation of Pinyin", which is an invalid reason. Ahmetlii (talk) 21:31, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

• Support especially since the rest of the article uses pinyin. Maybe check and correct the links to this article. ch (talk) 03:39, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
• Support. Pinyin has been official on the mainland since 1958, for the U.S. government since 1979, and on Taiwan since 2009. So it should should be standard across the board at this point. We need to move the Soong sisters next. The double "o" is a family trademark. But their given names can be switched to pinyin. 99to99 (talk) 10:41, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
• Support moving to the pinyin spelling unless someone can provide evidence that another romanization is significantly more commonly used in English for this person's name. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 18:25, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
• Support – Recent academic sources use the pinyin form of his name. RGloucester — ☎ 23:26, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
