Descendants of Qin Hui demand the removal of their ancestor's kneeling statue!But experts say the removal is not allowed.

The proposal of Qin Hui's descendants

Qin Liang stated that it was actually Zhao Gou, not his ancestor, who killed Yue Fei. Without the emperor's order, who could have killed Yue Fei, who was then a great general? Furthermore, while the presence of a kneeling statue of Qin Hui at Yue Fei's tomb might be considered deserved, a similar kneeling statue of Qin Hui has been erected at the tomb of Yue Fei's mother in Jiujiang, Jiangxi. Qin Liang said he doesn't understand the rationale behind this. His mother had already passed away before Yue Fei's death, which had absolutely nothing to do with Qin Hui. For this reason, Qin Liang believes the relevant departments should remove the kneeling statue of Qin Hui in front of Yue Fei's mother's tomb.

His application immediately attracted attention and discussion. A minority supported his argument, believing it made sense—that after kneeling for so long, it was time to stand up. However, the majority disagreed with the proposal. While Qin Liang's words held some merit, experts believed that the existence of the Qin Hui statue had, to some extent, transcended the significance of a kneeling figure.

Conclusion

In truth, there's not much point in discussing this matter further. Chinese culture has a long tradition of tracing one's ancestry. If ancestors were upright and honorable, descendants will naturally be proud; if ancestors were treacherous and villainous, descendants will naturally feel ashamed. Descendants should not try to cover up their ancestors' mistakes, but rather remember history and learn from it. The descendants of Qin Hui should also use this incident to constantly remind themselves not to make a wrong step on their own life's journey and to be upright individuals.
