The academy also had significant influence over the 20th century history of other Asian countries. The fourth term of the Academy saw students not only from all parts of China， but also from different parts of Asia. For example， there were 30 Koreans among them. Some of them were brought up in China； others were active participants during the national liberation movement of Korea in 1917-1926.
Besides， a large number of students were originally from Vietnam. This group was led by the future leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese struggle for independence， Ho Chi Minh.

背景知识 Background information
孙中山先生创办的广州黄埔军校大门口赫然大书一副对联：
上联：升官发财请走别路
下联：贪生怕死莫入此门
自1924年黄埔建校到1949年新中国成立的26年间，黄埔男儿或团结合作，共同御侮；或疆场厮杀，兵戎相见，弹丸之地的长洲岛在中国现代史上威名大振，为国共两党培养了大批将领。叶剑英、林彪、聂荣臻、左权、许光达、陈赓、罗瑞卿、宋时轮、徐向前等，砥砺锋刃，相继踏上革命征程。因此，卧虎藏龙、将星璀璨的黄埔军校，被誉为“中国将帅的摇篮”。
其后的许多年，“到黄埔去”成为有志青年的心声，“升官发财请走别路，贪生怕死莫入斯门”，更激励了黄埔学子的报国之志。黄埔师生在东征、北伐和抗日战争中奋勇杀敌，建立了卓越的功勋，这些彪炳千秋的人物，正是在黄埔树立了革命信念，踏上了革命的光辉道路。
