There is an old saying: "Husband and wife are originally the same forest bird, and they fly separately when the great trouble comes." Although this sentence is somewhat absolute, it also reflects the fragility of the relationship between husband and wife from the side.
There have been many touching love stories throughout the ages, and they have either gone to Huangquan together with great vigor or from beginning to end, holding hands and white heads.
But there are also many people who are not loyal to marriage and partners, which also has the so-called difficulties between husband and wife, but rather run for things.
But there is such a person, she not only accepted her husband to marry others, but also raised his 6 children, deeply understand the righteousness, she is Yang Hucheng's wife - Zhang Huilan.
Yang Hucheng was born in the late 19th century to a peasant family in Shaanxi Province, from a poor family.
Although the days are simple and hard, it is fortunate that the family cares for each other and is considerate, and the days are not sad for a while.
Unfortunately, when Yang Hucheng was 15 years old, his father, who had always been honest and responsible, was killed for offending Qing officials.
At a young age, he witnessed the death of his relatives for the first time, and he also understood that ordinary people's lives are so fragile, and with the help of his neighbors in the township, he was able to bury his father hastily.
Since then, he has been more mature and stable than children of the same age, and has also taken up the burden of family life.
In 1917, the 18-year-old Yang Hucheng responded to the call of the uprising and joined the Shaanxi revolutionary team, gradually revealing his military talent.
In the decades that followed, Yang Hucheng was reused by Yuan Shikai, Chiang Kai-shek and others for his outstanding military ability.
He repeatedly suppressed the Northern Expeditionary Army, which intended to attack, and retained the stronghold of Shaanxi, which also laid the foundation for his leadership position in the army.
In the subsequent War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Shaanxi army under the command of Yang Hucheng also repeatedly made contributions to it, reducing the enemy's vigor.
However, due to the passive resistance of the leader Chiang Kai-shek, it was difficult for the War of Resistance Against Japan to win victory in one fell swoop, and this was undoubtedly a difficulty for the Chinese nation.
Yang Hucheng knew that at this moment, we should first unite with the outside world, and the land and national spirit of the sons and daughters of China should not be trampled on by foreign enemies.
Therefore, although Yang Hucheng, who was a Kuomintang officer and deeply aware of the great righteousness of the nation, together with Zhang Xueliang, planned the "Xi'an Incident" that caused a sensation inside and outside.
In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek announced that he would spare no effort to resist the Japanese army and conclude an anti-Japanese national united front, which was precisely because of this that the stalemate in the war situation could be broken.
However, in the face of Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang, who betrayed them, Chiang Kai-shek's heart had already labeled them as "traitors."
Because of the consideration of the harmony between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the eyes of the People, he did not start for a long time, but the killing intention for the two people never dissipated.
In 1949, the defeat of the Kuomintang was decided, and Chiang Kai-shek, knowing that the overall situation was irreparable, killed Yang Hucheng's family of four in Chongqing without any scruples.
Yang Hucheng married three wives in his lifetime, but his first wife was not Zhang Huilan of xianliang shude, but Luo Peilan.
At that time, Yang Hucheng was still a young hero, and at the age of 22, he was already a battalion commander of the Kuomintang army, which can be said to be young and promising, with both culture and martial arts.
At that time, he was very good with a Shaanxi businessman named Zhang Ximing, and the two had a good conversation, and Yang Hucheng often visited the Zhang family because of this.
Zhang Ximing has an adopted daughter, Luo Peilan, who is young and beautiful, intelligent and clever, one is a young officer, and the other is a beautiful girl.
The two exchanged feelings, Zhang Ximing had admired Yang Hucheng, otherwise he would not have interacted with him many times, so he very happily agreed to the marriage.
Since Yang Hucheng was not at home at that time, this family affair did not have time to report to his mother, and when he returned to his hometown of Pucheng, his mother informed him of a surprising news.
It turned out that Yang Hucheng's mother had a girl for him in his hometown when he left home, and the two families had already agreed that they would only wait for Yang Hucheng to return home and get married.
The girl was the daughter of a medicine shop owner named Zhang Huilan, who was born in her name with a gentle and virtuous heart.
In the years when Yang Hucheng went out to fight, Yang's mother was left alone at home, and Zhang Huilan accompanied her like a daughter.
Knowing that Yang Hucheng had become a relative, Yang Mother knew that this matter could not be concealed, and she did not want to delay the girl, so she told Dr. Zhang the truth.
Maybe it is feudal thinking, or maybe it is really fancy to Yang Hucheng, Dr. Zhang not only does not want to retire from marriage, but also insists that his daughter marry in the past, even if it is only a partial house.
Imagine that it was originally set by the old mother, and the parents of the two parties discussed it well, and it was also considered to be the ming media of the parents' order, but now it has become a partial room, not a proper wife.
How to say this matter has wronged Zhang Huilan, but she did not half a word of complaint, after marriage, she still took care of her mother-in-law and served on the side.
When Luo Peilan had to return to his hometown in Pucheng to recuperate because she was pregnant, everyone was worried that the two would be at odds, but they did not expect that Luo Zhang and Luo Zhang were quite kind and sensible.
Not only are they considerate of each other, but they are also known as sisters, and Luo Peilan is also taken care of by Zhang Huilan when she is sick in bed, so she is very grateful.
In 1926, the domestic war situation was more tense, and some people wanted to hunt down Yang Hucheng's family to force him to surrender, but Zhang Huilan had already moved with his family, which did not give them an opportunity.
In the following six months, Opella died of a serious illness and entrusted her two children to Zhang Huilan before her death.
Zhang Huilan took her family to hide in Tibet and suffered from upheaval and displacement, but still did not give up, until Yang Hucheng defended Xi'an.
After the Xi'an incident, Yang Hucheng and Yang Mu both became ill due to the political situation and unfortunately fell ill, and for a time the whole family was taken care of by Zhang Huilan alone.
Because he was too busy to neglect his own son, the child died of illness at a young age, and Zhang Huilan was once insane.
When Chiang Kai-shek detained Yang Hucheng and his third wife, Xie Baozhen, and his family of four, Zhang Huilan and the remaining six children escaped the disaster.
Perhaps knowing her own responsibility, or perhaps not being able to bear to see her children left unattended, Zhang Huilan miraculously woke up and raised Yang Hucheng's 6 children alone.
Zhang Huilan has worked tirelessly for ten years to raise children, and none of these 6 children is Zhang Huilan's own child.
Although she was married to Yang Hucheng, but before there was Luo Peilan, then there was Xie Baozhen, and in the era of war, the couple had seen less and more, Zhang Huilan can be said to be a widow for Yang Hucheng for half a lifetime, raised 6 children, and paid a lifetime of hard work.
Under the careful teaching of Zhang Huilan, the 6 children are very successful, and they have become useful talents for the country when they grow up.
Her last words before her death, however, were to be buried with Yang Hucheng, her husband who had gathered a lot, and accompanied her for the rest of her life.
Zhang Huilan's affection and strength are really admirable, although she has not read many books and has not received higher education.
However, with her persistence and tenacity, she left an excellent pulse for Yang Hucheng and cultivated talents for the future development of the motherland.
