The eldest son of the warlord Feng Delin, Feng Yong was a member of the Standing Committee of the Northeast Administrative Committee. Feng and Zhang Xueliang were born in the same year and grew up together. Theirs fathers were both strong warlords. Zhang Xueliang would become the “Young Marshal”, while Feng chose to set up a Western-style university in China.
In 1926, after the death of Feng Delin, Feng Yong continued his father's post as a military officer. Later, he joined the Republic of China Air Force and his military rank was in the ranks of Lieutenant General. And he took out almost all of his money and started to establish Fengyong University. During the Mukden Incident, he was arrested by the Japanese troops and they took him to Tokyo. After escaping, he organized the volunteer army of Fengyong University and participated in the "1-28" Anti-Japanese War.

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
