Zhang Qilong's father, Zhang Dezhao, supported his son in making a revolution, and in the winter of 1928, the Kuomintang reactionaries took Zhang Dezhao away because they could not catch Zhang Qilong, and he was burned to the head by the enemy, tortured and tortured, but he looked at him angrily, preferred to die unyieldingly, and finally was gouged out of his eyes by the dehumanized enemy, drained his liver and intestines, cut off his head, and violently died in the wilderness.
Zhang Qigan, Zhang Qilong's cousin, was arrested by the enemy in 1929 in Yonghe District, Liuyang County.
Zhang Desong, Zhang Qilong's uncle, after the defeat of the Great Revolution, still served as the chairman of the Soviet in a village in Yonghe District, Liuyang County, insisted on the revolutionary struggle, and then was unfortunately arrested for betrayal by traitors, and after being severely tortured by the enemy of animals and beasts, he was dragged under a bridge, had his head cut off, and died heroically.
Zhang Qilong's wife, Huang Guangju, was a child daughter-in-law arranged by her parents and gave birth to a daughter for Zhang Qilong after marriage. After Zhang Qilong joined the revolution, the mother and daughter were persecuted by the Kuomintang, and Huang Guangju saw that her in-laws could not live in peace. The enemy came to the house for three days to search and interrogate her, constantly persecuting her, and finally in 1930, the mother and daughter were tortured to death by inhumane coercion.
Zhang Qilong's stepmother, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, during the Japanese invaders' occupation of Liuyang, was hunted down and persecuted because she was his relative, and was brutally pushed down the Liuyang River and drowned. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Qilong, as a cadre at the ministerial level, returned to his hometown and said with deep sorrow and indignation: "There is nothing in my family, and I am the only one left."
