Yang came back China again and was arrested and died during the siege of Fuzhou in 1874, then he just join in Green Standard Army and prepare organized anti-Qing espionage inner newly troops but were discovered by colonel Wei June and Brigadier General Ma Zongher. Although look appearance that Yang was unwise, in fact 1874 was the 10 years memory which finished Taiping Rebellion(Chinese word 10 look like a Cross, Cross was a important symbol for Taiping), this look like ceremony‘s act maybe shamed on and blameed himself for escaped single from millions deaths Taiping‘s old brothers made him pain every day and night in American, and if he were arrested by Wei and Ma that could laughed at their surrender to Qing. He rather lay down and drop his last blood on China mainland the great homeland！ Yang‘s action of back China to make people emotion endless and respected. He really a Martyr for Chinese revolution.
