Biography
Han Fuju was born in Dongshantai Village (Chinese: 东山台村; pinyin: Dōngshāntái Cūn), Ba County (Chinese: 霸县; pinyin: Bà xiàn) in Hebei Province. He had had little aptitude for schooling. Nonetheless, while quite young, he had worked as a clerk in his hsien ("county") until his gambling debts forced him to run away and enlist in the army of General Feng Yu-hsiang. Han rose quickly, from clerk to chief clerk, to lieutenant, to captain, and after an uprising, to major. During the warlord upheavals of the 1920s he emerged as commander of General Feng's 1st Army Group.
