Whether Fang Xiaoru has direct descendants has always been a historical mystery. In Huangtun, Lujiang County, Anhui Province, there was a man named He who was alive. After his death, the tombstone was renamed Fang.

Henan Business Daily reporter contacted Mr. He of Huangtun through the "Fang's General Ancestral Hall". He explained that when Fang Xiaoru's descendants fled, they were chased by officers and men. When asked about their surnames, they fled in panic and accidentally fell into the river to avoid being killed. At that time, this descendant had a brainwave and changed his surname to "He". Thinking of the heavy blow to the family, in order to pray for the prosperity of the family, the word "river" was changed to "he".

Over time, customs became customs. The descendants of Fang Xiaoru in Huangtun were born with the surname He, and after their death, they resumed their surname Fang.

In the "He Fang Genealogy" provided by Mr. He, the reporter of Henan Business Daily saw that this surname still follows the provisions of the genealogy: the birth surname is He, and the death surname is Fang; His surname is above ground, but Fang is below ground.

In addition, the ancestral hall where the villagers named Zhu lived in Wujiabian Village, Jingyang Township, Yunxi County, Hubei Province, was also engraved with the "Fang Ancestral Hall" tablet. The local villagers surnamed Zhu said that they are also descendants of Fang Xiaoru, "Zhu was born before he died".
