His first marriage was with Hilda Gadea in August 18, 1955 in Mexico and they had a daughter named Hilda Beatriz Guevara Gadea (1956-1995), born February 15, 1956.

Che did a "good thing" by enrolling as a medical student in Chile. It's a shame he never really practiced medicine.
"What do you do for work?" is an English equivalent of the Italian phrase Che lavoro fa? The question literally translates as "What work do you do?" or "What work do you make?" in English. The pronunciation will be "key la-VO-ro fa" in Italian.
An October 2007 article in The Wall Street Journal intended to deprecate Ernesto "Che" Guevara on the 40th anniversary of his assassination in Bolivia. Instead, the article was an unintentionally eloquent description of his significance in the Americas.
The article, headlined "Forty years after, the shadow of Che still falls over Latin America," reveals why the empire pursued Che with so much malice and assassinated him with so much hatred. Che was construed as the "ideologue of communism and the armed revolution against the West in the Third World," too revolutionary even for Cuba, thus motivating Fidel Castro to send his great revolutionary collaborator abroad to promote the revolution in other countries.
"In his life, Che had scarce direct influence outside of Cuba, but his legend has done much more than sell t-shirts to discontented rich young people," the WSJ article ironically noted.
"Che's paranoid, anticapitalist economic doctrines have considerable appeal for Latin Americans. Many countries in the region have elected governments headed by Che sympathizers-from Salvador Allende's Chile in 1970 to Evo Morales' Bolivia and Rafael Correa's Ecuador of today," deplored the publication.
The article pointed out the supposedly negative effects for the region deriving from ideas inculcated during Che's time. The article also expressed its concern for the wellbeing of the overall continent because of the example Che had set for Latin America.
"When Che was killed in 1967, the growth of productivity in Latin America was average compared to other countries, according to global estimates. But, from then on, it has fallen beneath the other regions. Only Brazil and Chile have had adequate developments, basically thanks to the extensive periods of rightist military governments, in which Cheismo was repressed."
Then, the article conjectures: "Without Che's legend, the annual growth rate would have been one percent higher. From there, it seems that the revolutionary has cost the region around 1.3 trillions of yearly internal development." And the article emphatically concludes: "The shirts are cheap, but Che has been an expensive icon.

The national flower of Cuba is the "Mariposa blanca" which translates into English as "White butterfly flower."
well, Che Guevara is hated for a couple reasons.
1.) He is regarded as a hero, but in reality, he was the head executioner for Castro's communist regime. In fact he is credited with over a Hundred deaths, not to mention all the people he sent to the firing squad. I don't believe anyone of those victims got a fair trial. In fact most of them were just believed differently then Che.
2.) Che also set up labor camps, which would eventually start being a place to send homosexuals and "anti-revolutionists".
3.) Lastly, it pisses off the people who know about history that stupid teenage hippies hypocritically idolize some who not only is the polar opposite of what they stereotypically believe in, but also they know nothing about him. I would go out on a limb to say that they dig Che because of his long hair, communistic believes, and "Revolutionary/Rebellious" attitude. Young people like to pretend to believe in things that generally shock the older generation.
He was influenced by his trips around Latin America, which portrayed the malnutrition, illiteration and opression of the proletariat by Yankee economic and political domination. He was heavily influenced by Karl Marx, Mao Tse-Tung, Lennin etc. The revolutions in China and Russia as well as the attempted revolution in Bolivia and the events in Guatemala educated him in what it would take for a revolution to be successful which was basically warfare. He was also deeply moved by Fidel Castro's determination and confidence.
