Yu Fengzhi's small biography: Wrong love young marshal to Baishou, after death four words made Zhang Xueliang kneel and cry bitterly
Yu Fengzhi was born on June 7, 1897 in Zhengjiatun, Shuangliao, Jilin Province, the daughter of the wealthy merchant Yu Wendou. At the time of birth, Mr. You calculated that she had a phoenix life and named her 'Fengzhi'. Yu's family was well-off, and Yu Fengzhi read poetry and books since childhood. At the age of 11, Yu Wendou and Zhang Zuolin, who was stationed in Zhengjiatun to chase and suppress bandits, betrothed a doll kiss, saying that they would marry Zhang Xueliang, who was only 7 years old, in Fengzhi.
In 1913 (at the age of 16), Yu Fengzhi was admitted to the Fengtian Girls' Normal School. In 1916, Zhang Zuolin became the king of Northeast China, seized the military and political power of Fengtian, and divided one side. Yu Fengzhi and Zhang Xueliang also held a wedding in this year and married.
However, at this time, Zhang Xueliang longed for free love, opposed arranged marriages, and was very cold to Fengzhi. Because Yu Fengzhi was three years old, Zhang Xueliang has always called Yu Fengzhi the eldest sister after marriage.

In ZhangFu, Yu Fengzhi treats people sincerely, handles things appropriately, and takes care of Zhang Xueliang meticulously. Gradually, Yu Fengzhi won the trust and praise of the elders, and Zhang Xueliang also changed his attitude, and the two respected each other as guests, and their feelings became more and more harmonious.
In 1927 (at the age of 30), at the dance party of the Cai Mansion in Tianjin, Zhang Xueliang met Zhao Yidi, who was born in a family of eunuchs, and they fell in love at first sight. In 1929, Zhao Yidi eloped to Shenyang despite his father's objections. In the face of Zhang Xueliang's lover, Yu Fengzhi tolerated and accepted her. However, Yu Fengzhi and Zhang Xueliang "agreed on three chapters of the law", and Zhao Yidi could only show himself as Zhang Xueliang's secretary, without the name of an official wife.

In the subsequent relationship, Yu Fengzhi treated Zhao Yidi like a sister. Yu Fengzhi was responsible for taking care of the internal and external affairs of the Shuai Mansion, accompanied by the considerate and intelligent Zhao Yidi, and the three of them lived happily together. Everyone who has a relationship with Zhang Xueliang envies him for having a harmonious and beautiful family, saying that he has two xiannei helpers.
In 1931, the 918 Incident broke out, when Yu Fengzhi and Zhang Xueliang were both in Beijing. Zhang Xueliang ordered no resistance, and the Northeast Army retreated to Guannei, allowing the Japanese army to occupy the entire northeast. In 1933, Yu Fengzhi followed Zhang Xueliang to Europe, staying in Italy and taking care of his children's studies.

On December 12, 1936, the Xi'an Incident broke out, and Zhang Xueliang launched a "military advisory" to detain Chiang Kai-shek. After the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was detained by Chiang Kai-shek. When Yu Fengzhi learned of this news, he immediately returned to China with his children and asked to see Chiang Kai-shek, but was refused.
Yu Fengzhi had no choice but to ask Song Meiling to intercede, hoping to open up the net. In the end, the court sentenced Zhang Xueliang to 10 years in prison, and Chiang Kai-shek granted him amnesty, but then put him under house arrest. For this matter, Soong Mei-ling once made a big fuss with Chiang Kai-shek.

While Zhang Xueliang was in detention, Yu Fengzhi and Zhao Yidi took turns to take care of Zhang Xueliang. Later, Zhao Yidi went to take care of his young son, and because Feng Zhi took care of Zhang Xueliang alone, he had no complaints or regrets. In 1940 (at the age of 43), Yu Fengzhi was diagnosed with breast cancer, and at the suggestion of Zhang Xueliang, Yu Fengzhi flew to the United States to see a doctor.
Yu Fengzhi studied while seeing a doctor and living in the United States for a long time. More than 20 years later, in 1964 (67 years old), Yu Fengzhi suddenly received a divorce letter from Zhang Xueliang.
It turned out that chiang kai-shek, in order to cut off Zhang Xueliang's retreat from the United States, forced Zhang Xueliang to divorce Yu Fengzhi and marry Zhao Yidi on the pretext that Zhang Xueliang was already in accordance with Christianity and had to abide by monogamy. Yu Fengzhi knew that this was a political entanglement, and Zhang Xueliang was also helpless, so he wrote back and agreed.

In his later years, Yu Fengzhi began to speculate in stocks, but he made a lot of money and lived a worry-free life. On March 20, 1990, Yu Fengzhi died of a heart attack at his home in Los Angeles, USA, at the age of 93. Zhang Xueliang was deeply saddened when he learned of Yu Fengzhi's death.
Two months later, Zhang Xueliang was released. In March 1991, Zhang Xueliang flew to the United States, came to Yu Fengzhi's tomb, and saw the four big characters of "Zhang YuFengzhi" under Yu Fengzhi's tomb, and he could not stand up and cried.
