But when he was nearly 90 years old, looking back on his life, he said, "I have no regrets in my life, only one person."
The villain of Zhang Xueliang refers to his original wife Yu Fengzhi. The two were married by their parents and agreed to divorce after separation. There is a lot of speculation about the reason. But Zhang Xueliang said so, and they all guessed wrong. ...
Yu Fengzhi is from Huaide County, Jilin Province, but his father Yu opened a grain depot in Zhengjiatun, Shuangliao County, and the business was good, so the family lived in Zhengjiatun.
At that time, Zhang was not a warlord in Fengtian, but the commander-in-chief of bandits.
Zhang was ordered to fight bandits in Songliao and Mobei. He led the troops into Zhengjiatun. Because the backyard of Yujia's grain depot was large, he set up a headquarters to fight bandits here.
Yu is a businessman and hates bandits. Therefore, Zhang's troops are very welcome. So the two forged a friendship.
In the spring of the following year, when Zhang led his troops to a decisive battle with the Mongols at the Longwang Temple in Mobei, the situation was very critical because of the late arrival of reinforcements. Yu personally rushed to Taonan and persuaded Zhang's wrong reconnaissance battalion to lead Wu to send troops, which saved Zhang's life.
Zhang, who came back from fighting bandits, was very moved by the "timely help". The two immediately became sworn brothers and became sworn brothers.
One day, a fortune teller was invited back to tell his daughter's fortune.
Zhang has met his niece. Knowledgeable, polite, and beautiful and gentle.
He didn't care about these little things at first, but when he passed the door, he happened to hear the fortune teller say, "It's terrible."
Now Zhang is very interested. He himself is very superstitious and has a famous fortune teller under his command. Now when I listen to the fortune teller in the house, I want to see how good my niece's life is.
The fortune teller's face is rosy and he looks really excited, not pretending. He said, "Your daughter's life is great, but it is the life of a phoenix ..."
Zhang ignored the fortune teller's nagging and picked up something on the paper and said, "I have a Mr. Wang under my command, who is a famous psychic in Fengtian." I'll show him. "
As a result, when Mr. Wang saw it, it was also a phoenix. When he talked about Zhang Daxi, he thought, "I am leading troops to war, and I will make a fortune in the future. If my son has a lucky wife, wouldn't it be icing on the cake? "
So he directly talked to Yu about wanting to get married. I hesitated at first, fearing that my daughter would be bullied when she married a government official in the future.
Zhang patted his chest and said with great certainty: Your girl will come to my house, which is my daughter. If my boy dares to bully her, I will cut him off first. As long as Feng Zhi's niece gets married, I promise my boy won't marry a mistress!
Zhang listened to this, and Zhang Xueliang had met people with fine features since he was a child, so he agreed to the marriage after a little thinking.
So in 19 16, 16-year-old Zhang Xueliang and 19-year-old Yu Fengzhi got married and started a century-long relationship.
However, Yu Fengzhi was not carried away by this sudden prominent family background, and she was as gentle as ever.
After graduating from Wujiang Guild Hall in Northeast China, Zhang Xueliang became a commander of the Northeast Army, helping his father to do what he could.
Every time Zhang Xueliang wants the whole army to go out to war, Yu Fengzhi will use his savings to buy things to visit the military camp and help her husband to visit the wounded and sick in the rear hospital.
At home, she is the eldest daughter-in-law and is very filial to her father-in-law. Everything inside and outside the house is handled properly, and even Zhang's concubines can't find her fault.
Looking at such a wife in the kitchen, Zhang Xueliang gradually accepted it from the bottom of his heart, no longer because he always thought it was his father's arranged marriage.
Because his wife is three years older than himself, Zhang Xueliang will call her elder sister when they say something personal, while Yu Fengzhi will directly call him "Han Qing".
For Yu Fengzhi, Zhang Xueliang is not only her husband, but also her brother, an older child who needs to take care of himself.
Regarding marriage, she once said: "Husband and wife are like bows and arrows, husband is like an arrow, and wife is like a bow. If the bow is broken, the scissors can't shoot out. "
This is what she did. She maintained a good relationship with her gentleness and elegance and became Zhang Xueliang's wife. Perhaps in the eyes of some people today, it is wrong to make such a compromise.
Sima Xiangru sang in "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix": "Phoenix Xi Feng returned to his hometown and traveled all over the world to find his phoenix." Although the ancients made a distinction between phoenix and phoenix, she found her own "Phoenix" in Yu Fengzhi, and she was willing to stick to it and devote her life to it.
Yu Fengzhi's contribution can be seen from her acceptance of Miss Zhao Si.
As one of the "Four Childes of the Republic of China" and "Four Handsome", Zhang Xueliang was young and frivolous, and often showed mercy everywhere. But he has a sense of proportion. He always remembers that there is a "big sister" at home, waiting for him to come home every night.
However, a young girl named Zhao Yidi suddenly entered Zhang Xueliang's heart. Zhao Yidi is the daughter of Zhao Qinghua, the second minister of the Ministry of Communications of the National Government. Because she is the fourth child in the family, the outside world also calls her Miss Zhao Si.
She pursues Zhang Xueliang, a married man, and revolves around him all day, causing countless tidbits. Young and cheerful Miss Zhao Si is full of passion, which is completely different from the feeling that Yu Fengzhi, who is gentle and intellectual, brings to Zhang Xueliang.
Keen Yu Fengzhi found something was wrong and knew that Zhang Xueliang was really keen this time. She didn't blame her husband or even openly question him. Although bitter, she chose to endure.
After learning of Miss Zhao Si's behavior, her father, Zhao Qinghua, was very angry, and publicly announced in the newspaper that the relationship between father and daughter was severed. The homeless Miss Zhao Si found Zhang Xueliang.
Zhang Xueliang told Yu Fengzhi about the present situation of Miss Zhao Si, and Miss Zhao Si said that she only wanted to be the secretary around Zhang Xueliang, and dared not have any other superfluous ideas.
Yu Fengzhi sighed and didn't do anything drastic. Looking at two people pull a long face, Yu Fengzhi agreed. She also bought a house for Miss Zhao Si and asked the financial staff to pay her salary. It seems that she really regards it as her husband's secretary.
However, Yu Fengzhi only knew the bitterness in her heart and shared her husband with another woman.
After the September 18th Incident, Northeast China fell. Because of Chiang Kai-shek's "non-resistance" strategy, countless villagers have either left their homes or suffered humiliation.
Yu Fengzhi didn't blame Zhang Xueliang, but accompanied him silently. Whether going to Xi or going abroad, Yu Fengzhi followed closely.
/kloc-at the end of 0/936, the "Xi incident" that shocked China and foreign countries broke out, and Chiang Kai-shek had to agree to join hands to resist Japan. However, Chiang Kai-shek, who was freed, immediately put Zhang Xueliang under house arrest and sentenced him to "insulting the leader".
At that time, Yu Fengzhi happened to be in England with her daughter and had not had time to return home. After hearing the news, she was shocked and quickly sent a telegram to Song Meiling and Song Ziwen, asking them to save Zhang Xueliang's life.
The following spring, Yu Fengzhi hurried back from abroad and found Song Meiling, saying that he would go to Fenghua to accompany Zhang Xueliang.
Song Meiling advised her to say, "Feng Zhi, you and I are both women. Although we all have men's ambitions in our hearts, it is not easy to go to jail. Besides, you came back from abroad and ran around for him, and finally did your duty as a husband and wife. What can a woman do? "
Yu Fengzhi didn't listen, but changed her gentle appearance and became extremely stubborn. She shook her head and said, "How can you understand my heart? Han Qing and I have been married, and we have been loving each other for many years. Feng Zhi knows what it's like to go to jail with him, but Feng Zhi intends to share his worries. No matter how much it costs, I will accompany him to be my wife's all! "
Song Meiling sighed and looked at her close friend for many years. She had no choice but to go.
So from Fenghua Xikou to Pingxiang in Jiangxi, then to Huangshan in Anhui and Chenzhou in Hunan, and then to Yuanling and Xifeng in Guizhou, Yu Fengzhi always accompanied Zhang Xueliang and spent more than three years.
In Fenghuang Mountain Prison near Shui Yuan, western Hunan, I remembered this place and this feeling. Prior to this, Zhang Xueliang wrote a poem for Yu Fengzhi with infinite emotion: "The famous phoenix is extraordinary, and the phoenix even falls on the Phoenix Mountain. There are many Sanskrit languages in the ancient temples in the mountains, and there is no heaven and earth. "
Prison life is not easy. Yu Fengzhi, who has lived a prosperous life all the year round, has suffered a lot in prison for more than three years. And the wandering life made her unfortunately suffer from breast cancer.
Zhang Xueliang kept protesting in prison, and finally Song Meiling couldn't bear it. With the consent of Chiang Kai-shek, Yu Fengzhi was allowed to go to the United States for medical treatment.
On the day of departure, Zhang Xueliang gently held the weak Yu Fengzhi's hand and said to her affectionately: "This time I went to the United States for medical treatment, no matter whether my condition improves in the future, don't come back."
Yu Fengzhi knows what her husband means, and her eyes are hazy. If Chiang Kai-shek makes up his mind to uproot the grass one day, they can still save some blood for the Zhang family overseas.
Lying in bed weakly, Yu Fengzhi seems to have foreseen something. Suddenly, he grabbed Zhang Xueliang's hand anxiously and asked him carefully in an expectant tone: "Han Qing, can you come to the United States?"
Zhang Xueliang brushed the hair from his forehead with a smile. He couldn't bear to lie to her and replied in a slightly bitter and free-spirited tone: "As long as Chiang Kai-shek is alive, I will never have a bright future. But again, as long as I have breath, I will never "plead guilty". "
After a pause, his tone was full of firmness. He said, "If one day someone says that I confessed to Chiang Kai-shek in China, anyone, even relatives and friends, even family members, who thinks that I am guilty, this person is an enemy and even a spy. Always remember this! "
Yu Fengzhi looked at her husband who was still full of heroic temperament, stared into his eyes, and remembered this sentence for life.
This is also the reason why she later launched a public opinion offensive in the United States after her husband published Confessions of the Xi Incident, desperate for her husband.
She will always remember that her husband said that she would never confess to Chiang Kai-shek as long as she had breath!
In this way, she boarded the plane to America, and this meeting with her husband became the last meeting for the rest of her life.
In the United States, Yu Fengzhi's first obstacle is her cancer.
For the medical conditions at that time, breast cancer was not so easy to cure. In order to treat the disease, she underwent surgery and removed her left chest.
When she woke up from the coma of anesthetic, she subconsciously looked at her chest and felt nameless sadness and indignation.
With tears streaming down her face, she said to herself, "I am disabled, can I still face the world with my head held high?" Do you still have the courage to face Han Qing's caress? "
But what made her even more desperate was that after the doctor came, he told her with a heavy face: because the operation was too late, her cancer cells had spread to other parts of the body.
She hasn't recovered from the pain after the operation. Hearing this news, the whole person fell into a dead silence.
"I don't-I don't want to-"After a long silence, it suddenly broke out and Yu Fengzhi suddenly began to cry hysterically.
"I want to survive, I want to cure the disease, and Han Qing is still waiting for me ..." She was incoherent and grabbed the doctor's hand, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Since then, she has received radiotherapy and chemotherapy in hell, and every inch of her body seems to be pinched, so that after each treatment, she can only collapse in bed like mud.
A large dose of pills reacts with drugs, making her vomit even if she drinks water. The yellow, yellow, green and green vomit was left on the ground, which made her very painful.
But what saddens her most is that her long black hair keeps falling off because of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A handful of hair in her hand made her cry for several nights. But every time I think of her husband in prison, she has the courage to persist.
Later, after three operations, she changed her face and looked haggard, but in the end she survived, and even the doctors exclaimed that it was a miracle. Although she was haggard as ten years older at this time, she didn't care. She survived. As long as she survives, there is hope that she can see Han Qing again!
She, the phoenix, was finally reborn under the fire of disease!
Yu Fengzhi is free from the torment of illness and will face the future life.
Several children emigrated from England to the United States and settled down.
However, Yu Fengzhi always remembers what her ex-husband said when he came to the United States. For these children, she can't go back for the time being.
Life in America is not easy either. She has no financial resources and has to pay for the study and living expenses of several children. In order to cure the disease, the previous savings have been used almost.
Later, on the recommendation of Song Meiling, Yu Fengzhi met an American named Lena. Lena is a broker of a bond company. She teaches Yu Fengzhi how to trade stocks.
Yu Fengzhi, who just entered the stock market, has amazing talent. This is a talent that she didn't show when she was a wife of Zhang Xueliang at home.
Buy, throw, buy, throw ... Fighting in the exciting stock market gave Yu Fengzhi a different kind of fun. This is something she never experienced when she was a wife before.
Money is constantly increasing, but it is followed by more and more thoughts and emptiness for her husband.
Most of the time, she is confused. What does she earn so much money for? But what can she do without making money?
In such pain, she used her busyness to paralyze herself and make herself feel useful, instead of being unable to leave her husband who was not imprisoned.
At home, Chiang Kai-shek launched a civil war, and then he was defeated in Taiwan Province Province. Zhang Xueliang was also taken to Taiwan Province Province for detention. He didn't mean to cut him some slack.
For so many years, Yu Fengzhi and her husband can only communicate by phone or letter. However, this connection is also limited.
With the passage of time, the contact between two people is less and less, and the words in letters are more to report each other's well-being.
A couple, thousands of miles apart, Yu Fengzhi said, "Every time I know that he is well, I can only cry." If it seems contradictory, it is not contradictory at all. What is painful is the distance between two people and less and less words.
Zhang Xueliang is in Taiwan Province Province, accompanied by Miss Zhao Si. Zhang Xueliang of Taiwan Province Province was not imprisoned and had an independent residence, but his daily life was monitored.
Her husband in Taiwan Province Province was accompanied, but she was missed day after day in the United States. Yu Fengzhi was pleased and sad. But she is still his wife, and he is also his most reluctant husband.
Taiwan Province Province 1964 published an article saying that Zhang Xueliang himself wrote Confessions of the Xi Incident.
After knowing this news, Yu Fengzhi's first reaction was that it was false. She felt that Chiang Kai-shek was too shameful. Chiang Kai-shek must have made it up! She was furious and set off a public opinion war to rescue her husband in the United States.
She smashed all the money she earned over the years. She doesn't know why she is so impulsive. Maybe she remembered what her husband said to her when he left, or maybe she was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek could not help persecuting her husband. ...
Numerous chaotic thoughts surged in her mind, making her anxious and angry.
The Los Angeles Sun, The New York Times and other major media have reported relevant articles, criticizing Taiwan Province Province for turning right from wrong. This public opinion war has greatly increased the pressure on Taiwan Province Province.
But what I didn't expect was that her energy in America caused Chiang Kai-shek's fear and anger! In Taiwan Province Province, Chiang Kai-shek coerced Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi to divorce on the grounds that he had to abide by monogamy in order to be baptized by Christianity.
Yu Fengzhi was heartbroken and called her husband for details. Zhang Xueliang said to her, "We will always be us. How to deal with this matter is up to you. I also sing "Shiro Visiting Mother" every day. "
Hearing her husband's words, she burst into tears. "We will always be us" is the greatest comfort to her. Shiro Visiting Mother was sung by Yu Fengzhi when he was in prison in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. There is a line in it: "I am like a caged bird, unable to spread my wings ..." Yu Fengzhi knew that Zhang Xueliang didn't really want to divorce himself.
Think like this, Yu Fengzhi slowly relieved. Laughing and crying, she signed the divorce papers. Later, when she told others about this experience, she still said emotionally, "I support everything in Han Qing unconditionally. As long as it is good for Han Qing, I will die. "
In this way, she sacrificed herself, sacrificed her marriage, and fulfilled another woman. And all this is to protect her beloved husband.
Later, on the top floor of Beverly Hills, Yu Fengzhi bought two villas at a high price. One is the villa where the famous movie star ingrid bergman lived before his death, and the other is the former residence of Elizabeth Taylor.
The two villas almost spent all the money she earned over the years, but she has no regrets. She also decorated all the villas according to the decoration style of Wang Fu in Shuncheng, Beijing.
She said to her children and grandchildren, "I bought these two villas in the hope that when your grandfather is free in the future, the villas here can be used as a place for him and Miss Zhao Si to spend their old age peacefully. This is also the best gift I gave him. "
When she said this, her eyes were filled with infinite affection. For her beloved husband, she gave up a lot and persisted.
She has been in America for 50 years. She doesn't want to remember the time, because every year means that she and her husband are separated for another year; 1990 means that she and her husband have been separated for 50 years and haven't seen each other for 50 years.
On March 20th of the same year, 93-year-old Yu Fengzhi stared at the distant sky outside the window and finally reluctantly closed his eyes.
What is she looking at? What did she give up?
All the children and grandchildren present knew it well and cried. I wonder if Yu Fengzhi's soul will return to her beloved husband at that time.
Things were so unsatisfactory that it was not until May 199 1 that Zhang Xueliang was allowed to visit relatives in the United States.
The white-haired old man came to the small building where Yu Fengzhi lived alone. He looked at the photo of his former glorious military uniform hanging in the study and saw her lonely tombstone. He finally burst into tears.
He patted the statue of Venus in the cemetery and whispered something that no one could hear clearly. This statue was erected by Yu Fengzhi's daughter for her mother, symbolizing her mother who stuck to love all her life. She thinks this is a portrayal of her mother's life.
Yu Fengzhi had one last wish before he died. She prepared two adjacent graves. China people respect the right, and she left the grave on the right to her Han Qing. She hopes that one day, after 50 years of isolation, they will be together forever after their death.
But later, Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si moved to Hawaii to live. Zhang Xueliang died in the first year of the new century, and Miss Zhao Si died in 2006. They were buried together at Temple Valley Memorial Cemetery on the east coast of Hawaii.
In the Rose Garden Cemetery in Los Angeles, the empty tomb that still has a place failed to wait for a person who has been waiting all his life.
Ask what love is in the world and teach people to live and die together! There is nothing worth it, only willing or not.
May all lovers get married!
