In January 1887, a family of Confucian doctors and merchants in Jiading County, Jiangsu Province, gave birth to a baby boy named Zhang Junjie, Zhang Junjie went to school at the age of 6, studied very hard, and had excellent understanding; at the age of 12, he was admitted to the Guangfang Dialect Hall of the Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau at the age of 12.
The next year, Zhang Junyi's sister Zhang Youyi was born, Zhang Junjie looked at the little sister, very fond of it, at that time the big family was still wrapping small feet, Zhang Youyi was 3 years old, her mother also prepared a foot wrap to wrap Zhang Youyi's small feet.
Wrapping small feet is a bad habit, the foot of the person is very harmful, the process is also very painful, ignorant, not familiar with the world' Zhang Youyi was hurt by the foot wrap is also wow wow crying, grievances shouted pain, the mother said to Zhang Youyi: "If you don't wrap now, you won't be able to marry out later." ”
Zhang Junjie, who was on the side, felt very distressed after seeing his sister crying, and was planning to persuade his mother, but after hearing his mother say this, he said: "If you don't wrap up, you can't marry your brother." "The mother originally couldn't bear her daughter's pain, and when she saw her son stand up to stop it, she couldn't wrap it up anymore."
But the old-style family growing up women have a lot of discipline, in addition to wrapping small feet, there is no opportunity to go to school to study, so many women who grew up in the old-style family are illiterate, but Zhang Junjie is very concerned about the growth of his sister Zhang Youyi, Zhang Youyi was 12 years old, Jiangsu Governor founded the "Jiangsu Provincial Second Girls' Normal School" in Suzhou, so Zhang Junjie sent his sister to the school to study.
However, when Zhang Youyi was 15 years old, her fourth brother Zhang Jiaxuan was serving as a secretary to Zhu Rui, who was then the governor of Zhejiang, and saw the talented Xu Zhimo when he inspected the school, so he intended to let his sister Zhang Youyi marry Xu Zhimo, and later learned that the Xu family was a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan and also a door-to-door pair.
At that time, many people saw that Xu Zhimo was indeed a good match, at this time Zhang Junjie was also a political figure, after learning that the family was arranging the marriage of his sister Zhang Youyi, he also personally proposed for his sister, and Xu Zhimo's father Xu Shenru was also very happy to marry the two families, and then Xu Zhimo married Zhang Youyi back home.

Although Xu Zhimo is talented, he does not treat Zhang Youyi kindly, and when Zhang Youyi was pregnant with her second son, Xu Zhimo was frantically pursuing Lin Huiyin, so he filed for divorce from Zhang Youyi, who was already two months pregnant.
Originally, Zhang Youyi had some expectations for Xu Zhimo, but she was snubbed by her husband for a long time and betrayed by her husband, zhang Youyi's heart was like ashes, and she agreed to divorce, but Xu Zhimo did not make any arrangements for Zhang Youyi's mother and son, so what should the fetus in the belly do?
Fortunately, Zhang Youyi is also someone to rely on, she wrote to her brother Zhang Junjie, Zhang Junjie replied: "Don't beat the fetus, the brother is willing to adopt." Forget about everything and come to Paris. ”
In 1922, Zhang Youyi gave birth to her second son Peter, and then signed a divorce with Xu Zhimo in Berlin, after the divorce, Zhang Youyi went to Paris to join Zhang Junjie, and then followed Zhang Junjie to Germany, and entered the Pestalozzi College to study early childhood education and started her new life.
