Today's talk about this can be described as a legendary woman of the Republic of China, she was born in the turbulent era, grew up in the turmoil, but also one of the famous "Four Sisters of the Zhang Family", a famous language and writing expert, she is known as the "white-haired talented woman" Zhang Yunhe. Ye Shengtao, a famous educator in China, once said: "Several daughters of the Zhang family, who marry that is a blessing for a lifetime."
However, what many people don't know is that Zhang Yunhe was told that she could not live to be 50 years old when she was in a medical treatment, she did not feel sad, no sorrow, but very angry, she did not believe, nor was she convinced, so she formulated the "three noes principle" and began to compete with "fate", the result not only broke through the 50-year-old prejudgment, but also lived to the age of 93, what is going on?

1. The Zhang family of the Republic of China
1. The rebellious generation
Zhang Yunhe's father is Zhang Wuling, a famous educator in China's modern history, and his mother is Lu Ying, a major kunqu researcher, Zhang Wuling once single-handedly founded two schools, Pinglin Middle School and Leyi Girls' High School, which has made outstanding contributions to the popularization of modern education in China and the development of women's college education.
Zhang Wuling's grandfather Zhang Shusheng devoted himself to the "foreign affairs movement" of national reform, and also accumulated a large number of military achievements in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, which can be described as a prominent moment. However, it is also this history that has led to the later Zhang family has always acted in a low-key manner, never showing off their family outside.
After several generations of continuous efforts and struggles, the assets of the Zhang family in the Republic of China period have been very rich, and there are 10,000 mu of fertile land in the territory of his hometown of Hefei, Anhui Province, and he is the "big landlord" of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er.
Although Zhang Wuling himself was born in such a family, he was deeply educated and influenced by the new trend of thought, so that he later felt that his name "Zhang Wuling" had obvious feudal era meanings, and he was very disgusted, so he changed his name to "Zhang Jiyou".
Such a thing seemed absolutely deviant in Chinese society at that time, to put it bluntly, Zhang Wuling was an out-and-out "rebellious boy" when he was young, of course, all this was also something he had to experience on the road to growth, and at the same time it would not hide the dazzling light of his life

2. Rejuvenate the country through education
When Zhang Wuling first started a business, he adhered to the ancestral training, mainly industry, unfortunately, he himself seems to be not too talented in business, completely do not know how to operate, after experiencing several ups and downs, he decided to move his family to Suzhou to settle.
After much thought, he decided to do something with the assets he had in his hands, but what could he do? To everyone's surprise, he founded the Leyi Girls' High School, and stipulated that as long as it was the children of poor families or ordinary workers, they were completely free.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Wuling's thinking at this time was very advanced, and many of the middle school teachers and staff were outstanding grass-roots cadres in the early days of our party. It was from this step that he completely reversed the path of politics that had begun with his grandparents, and turned his main experience to education.
In fact, Zhang Wuling himself is not the kind of general type who can gallop on the battlefield, but a thin body, and does not pursue fame and fortune, Zhang Wuling's life is very complete, in addition to the career achievements, the family is even happier, there have been four daughters and six sons born, and the future has made great achievements in each other's field.

Second, a happy life
1. Zhang Yunhe in his youth
Zhang Yunhe's brothers and sisters are very many, the father Zhang Wuling himself is an outstanding educator, and unique in women's education, according to the social atmosphere at that time and the requirements of the family ancestral training, each child must follow the genealogical lineage when naming, and must not act arbitrarily.
However, Zhang Wuling believed that the oppression of women in the feudal era was too heavy, so he did not want to name children according to the feudal etiquette system, so he abandoned the use of the word bao hijab in the line.
Zhang Yunhe of the Girl's Generation looked up from a distance to see everyone's boudoir look, revealing a warm bookish atmosphere all over his body, a pair of round-rimmed glasses on his white and green face, and short hair of fashionable students at that time. However, because her body was not very good at birth, her body shape looked much thinner than her peers.
However, her physical weakness did not affect her learning and self-motivation, and almost every homework when she was studying was outstanding. At the same time, under the influence of her father, she herself has a high interest in women's education, and has always wanted to be a pioneer in women's education like her father, which is a great cause in her view.
When he grew up, Zhang Yunhe obviously lived up to his father's expectations and became a famous scholar in the Republic of China era, especially in the field of Chinese language and literature.

2, a good attitude is enough to change a lifetime
At the age of 16, she met her future husband, Zhou Youguang, but at that time, the other party still did not become a well-known scholar, nor did she participate in the creation of modern Chinese Pinyin in China.
The two were fascinated at first sight, very close, and soon after, Zhang Yunhe took the initiative to introduce Zhou Youguang to his family, although the conditions of the Zhou family were far less than those of the Zhang family, but in the eyes of Zhang Wuling and his wife, this future son-in-law knew Dali and had noble character, which was the best destination for his daughter, so there was almost no opposition to let them be together.

After getting married, Zhang Yunhe often felt unwell, so he went to the hospital for examination, but he did not expect the result given by the doctor: it is likely that he will not live to be 50 years old. Such a result is unacceptable to anyone, and Zhang Yunhe is also playing drums in her heart, but she quickly calmed down and thought that the doctor was likely to exaggerate.
So after arriving home, he began to formulate a set of "three no's principles" for himself: do not blame others, especially family members, for their own gains and losses; do not punish themselves with their own faults; let alone hurt themselves with the faults of others.
Relying on this good mentality, Zhang Yunhe's health is getting better and better, and even heart disease has begun to miraculously improve, and there is no development towards deterioration, it is worth mentioning that Zhang Yunhe not only successfully crossed the threshold of 50 years old, but also lived to the age of 93.

In fact, through the experience of Ms. Zhang Yunhe, we can also see that the injustice of fate often falls on everyone, and the key is to see what kind of mentality is used to reverse the situation, I think "people are determined to win the day".
