The Republic of China was a war-torn era, and most ordinary citizens lived a life without food and clothing, not only that, they were also facing war and displacement all the time. But at the same time, the Republic of China has also created many celebrities and famous things, and in that chaotic world, it has created their legendary stories.
There are also many stories of legendary women staged in the Republic of China, Zhang Hanzhi is one of them, she is known as "the last famous woman of the 19th century", and now in the Internet age, the meaning of "famous yuan" has been misinterpreted, but at that time, "famous woman" is still synonymous with a noble birth, outstanding temperament, good character, knowledgeable and maverick women.
Zhang Hanzhi's life was tortuous and bumpy, and she had many experiences, she was the wife of Qiao Guanhua, a famous diplomat in China, but in Zhang Hanzhi's later years, she made a puzzling decision that also violated Qiao Guanhua's will.
Her life is tortuous and she has become a famous and noble woman
Zhang Hanzhi was born in 1935, her mother is a famous "social flower" in the Republic of China period Tan Xueqing, the name is good, people are extremely beautiful, at that time Tan Xueqing sold pens in department stores, the business was very hot, the men who came to see the pen did not buy pens, just to see the beautiful Tan Xueqing.
There are also many people who pursue Tan Xueqing, among whom there are also many family princes, but Tan Xueqing has a special love for Chen Du, the son of a warlord who looks ordinary and has a heart, and at that time, Chen Du also had a wife in the family.
Later, Tan Xueqing lived with Chen Du without a name, Chen Du never said that he wanted to marry Tan Xueqing, and Tan Xueqing did not complain, but later Tan Xueqing was pregnant, Chen Du made concessions, and only let Tan Xueqing be his aunt. Talking about Xueqing's refusal, the more troublesome things became, the more they got in front of Chen Du's father.
Chen Du's father brought Mr. Zhang Shizhao to persuade him, and finally persuaded Tan Xueqing to do well, and after Tan Xueqing gave birth to a child, he took the money and left, and the child born was Zhang Hanzhi. The mother ran away, and the father did not want to admit her, so Mr. Zhang Shizhao saw that the girl was pitiful and adopted her.
Mr. Zhang Shizhao loved this adopted daughter very much and sent her to study, as for Zhang Hanzhi's life, Zhang Shizhao has been hiding from her, allowing her to spend her childhood easily and happily. At that time, the relationship between father and daughter was still excellent, and it was difficult to imagine such a big change in the future.
Pampered but broken with his father
In 1949, Zhang Hanzhi was only fourteen years old, was in middle school, and at the dance party of Yenching University, Zhang Hanzhi met Hong Junyan. This little girl who had just opened her heart seemed to feel what love was, actively pursued Hong Junyan, and Learned that Zhang Shizhao, who had "early love" for her daughter, did not intervene, but felt that her daughter had grown up.
Later, when Zhang Hanzhi was studying at the Beijing Foreign Chinese College, a man came to her with a photo and told Zhang Hanzhi that he was her half-brother, and the photo was about Zhang Hanzhi when He was holding his childhood.
It was also at this time that Zhang Hanzhi learned that she was not the biological daughter of Zhang Shizhao and his wife, and was very angry that her father Zhang Shizhao was hiding his origins, she felt that she had been deceived and very wronged, and it was from this point on that their father-daughter relationship cracked.
But Zhang Shizhao loved Zhang Hanzhi and treated her like his own daughter, thinking of her everywhere. At Chairman Mao's 70th birthday banquet, Zhang Shizhao could bring a family member with him, but Zhang Shizhao did not bring his son or wife, but took Zhang Hanzhi with him.
It was also at this birthday banquet that Chairman Mao asked Zhang Hanzhi to teach him English, and Zhang Hanzhi thus became Chairman Mao's English teacher, teaching Chairman Mao English for half an hour every Sunday, and the two would chat and talk after class. Later, Zhang Hanzhi joined the Communist Party of China.
With the continuous growth of Zhang Hanzhi, her contact with new ideas is increasing, and she is also more and more unaccustomed to her father's old ideas, and knowing that Zhang Shizhao is not her biological father, she gradually alienates Mr. Zhang Shizhao. Even after a big fight with Mr. Zhang Shizhao, he announced that he had broken up with Mr. Zhang Shizhao and moved out of the house.
Regret is beyond reach, the last wish
Subsequently, Zhang Hanzhi and Hong Junyan lived together, experienced eight years of love run, the two entered the palace of marriage, and there was a little daughter, but the good times were not long, along with the changes in many things later, the two had differences and gradually drifted apart.
In Zhang Hanzhi's own memoirs, he wrote that Hong Junyan had an affair. At that time, the 38-year-old Zhang Hanzhi and the 60-year-old Qiao Guanhua also met, Qiao Guanhua met Zhang Hanzhi two years after the death of his wife, and since then he has lost his sanity because of love, and he wants to be with her despite everyone's opposition.
The scandal between the two spread wildly, and for a time the two were pushed to the cusp of the storm, not only because of the huge age gap between the two, but also because Qiao Guanhua had only been widowed for two years, and Zhang Hanzhi and Hong Junyan had not yet divorced.
In 1972, zhang Hanzhi and Hong Junyan's marriage finally came to an end that could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, and Zhang Hanzhi and Qiao Guanhua vigorously defied the public opinion and walked together as desired.
In 1973, Mr. Zhang Shizhao's life came to an end at the age of 92. Watching her father who raised her go away like this, Zhang Hanzhi suddenly woke up, understood his father's good intentions, and was full of guilt for his father, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity to say "I'm sorry" to him.
In 1983, Qiao Guanhua died after more than a decade with Zhang Hanzhi, and Zhang Hanzhi also came to the end of his life after 25 years of widowhood, but In his later years, Zhang Hanzhi made a puzzling decision.
It turned out that over the years, Zhang Hanzhi had always been full of guilt for his adoptive father, Mr. Zhang Shizhao, and had always wanted to make up for this regret, so on the occasion of his death, Zhang Hanzhi told his daughter that she did not want to be buried with Qiao Guanhua after she died, but wanted to be buried next to Mr. Zhang Shizhao and accompany him. The daughter obeyed Zhang Hanzhi's last wish and buried her with Mr. Zhang Shizhao.
brief summary:
Whether it was her husband or father, Zhang Hanzhi's guilt for his father had always been there, but there was no chance for her to make up for it.
Chinese have always attached importance to the word "filial piety", the skin of the body, the parents, the birth parents are important, but the grace of nurturing is more important. In the life of a person, he will make countless choices at various times, some of which are irrelevant, but some of which may become a lifetime of regrets.
But I believe that Mr. Zhang Shizhao knows his daughter's heart, and under the Nine Springs, he will forgive his daughter and will also be relieved.
