introduction
Will there be great friendships between men and women? This topic has been debated endlessly throughout the ages, and there has never been an accurate statement. In China at the beginning of the 21st century, with the death of Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling, two centenarians, a deep friendship of more than half a century has once again entered people's field of vision, allowing us to have a deeper definition of the friendship between men and women: heavy affection and trustworthiness, mutual knowledge and mutual respect.
Beauty falls into the city
In China's modern history, there is such a pair of friends that cannot be ignored, they are Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling. Zhang Xueliang launched a mutiny from the perspective of national righteousness and realized the comprehensive establishment of the anti-Japanese alliance, thanks to the society, while Song Meiling's identity was the first lady, and her status was even more unusual. Because in addition to this identity, Song Meiling is an excellent diplomat, proficient in multiple languages, clever and clever, with a large pattern, and has a very important position on the international political stage, showing the special charm of Oriental women. Even Chiang Kai-shek had great respect for his lady, believing that Soong Mei Ling could withstand at least 20 divisions.
Soong Mei-ling has always been deeply involved in politics, and even Chiang Kai-shek's choice and attitude toward many things have been deeply influenced by Soong Mei-ling, for example, Zhang Xueliang, who kidnapped Chiang Kai-shek, was bound to be killed according to Chiang Kai-shek's practice at that time, but it was because of Soong Mei-ling's maneuvering that he was spared. It may be this reason, Zhang Xueliang's view of Song Meiling is particularly high. She even thinks that Song Meiling is the number one woman in modern China.
Lang Cai's female appearance has no reason
The connection between the two people began with a cocktail party, although Zhang Xueliang was only in his 20s at the time, he was already in a high position, and he was one of the most powerful figures in China at that time, and the purpose of Zhang Xueliang's coming to Shanghai that time was to deal with the Sino-foreign conflicts caused by the May Thirtieth Massacre, because Zhang Xueliang had made a lot of patriotic and anti-enemy remarks before this, so Song Meiling, who had not yet married, paid special attention to this handsome hero and had a very good impression. The two are a young hero and a superb beauty, they are very appreciative of each other, Song Meiling as Zhang Xueliang's English translator during his time in Shanghai often stays around and participates in many public activities together, in fact, at that time Zhang Xueliang was conquered when He first saw Song Meiling, but unfortunately he was already married at that time, otherwise he would inevitably propose to her. Moreover, soon after, Soong Meiling's eldest sister single-handedly promoted the exchange between Soong Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek with political purposes, so the fate is like this, perhaps there is no fate, so Jacky Cheung can only treat Soong Meiling as a good friend to communicate, and bury the feelings between men and women deeply.
Brothers look at each other, beauty keeps faith
Later, because Chiang Kai-shek disregarded the great national righteousness and insisted that his own people beat his own people at the critical juncture of national peril, Zhang Xueliang had no choice but to arrest Chiang Kai-shek and force him to cooperate in the anti-Japanese resistance, knowing that Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek were brothers with different surnames who had prostrated their heads, so although Zhang Xueliang's approach was correct and did not hurt Chiang Kai-shek's heart, Chiang Kai-shek could never forgive and wanted to kill Zhang Xueliang. At this time, Song Meiling played a huge role, she persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to pay attention to his own identity, and his words should be counted, because Chiang Kai-shek once said not to kill Zhang Xueliang in order to protect himself, and she also made a positive definition of Zhang Xueliang's coup from the height of the nation, saying that Zhang Xueliang was not a treasonous act, let alone for his rights and future.
However, Chiang Kai-shek could never let go of this matter, although he did not kill Zhang Xueliang at that time, but he never had any intention of letting him live; Chiang Kai-shek hated him as a brother-in-law, hated him to the bone marrow, and Chiang Kai-shek always believed that the reason why he did not eliminate the Communist Party was because Zhang Xueliang made great trouble, let him fall short, let our party breathe and develop during the war of resistance, and finally seized the liberation of all China; Chiang Kai-shek was a particularly face-saving man, who held a high position for a long time, and he thought that his authority had been challenged, which was the greatest shame in his life. Lose face in front of the whole world, and eventually lose face. Therefore, due to various forces and reasons, he could not kill Zhang Xueliang, but he did not let Zhang Xueliang have a good life, and he was placed under house arrest for more than half a year, which was also rare and abnormal in the history of the world.
Later, Zhang Xueliang recalled that if it were not for Soong Meiling, he would never have lived now, and that Song Meiling's existence was his talisman, and according to historical records, in order to protect Zhang Xueliang, even after the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, Song Meiling never relaxed, and she once threatened Chiang Kai-shek that if Chiang Kai-shek killed Zhang Xueliang, she would announce all the things about Chiang Kai-shek to the world.
A lifetime of protection
In Zhang Xueliang's secluded life, there has been no interruption in correspondence with Song Meiling, Zhang Xueliang left behind the four large mailboxes, the most is the letter with Song Meiling, the two people come between the lines of the text reveals sincere friendship, Zhang Xueliang has always called Song Meiling "Lady", Song Meiling has also been calling Zhang Xueliang "Han Qing", and later until the 90s, Zhang Xueliang was free, at that time Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling were already nearly a hundred years old, the two died in the early 21st century, Had to be sad.
epilogue
In fact, from the perspective of the friendship between these two old people throughout their lives, they really achieved the point of being serious and trustworthy, Zhang Xueliang always avoided his own house arrest, and always missed Song Meiling's protection of his life, and Song Meiling has not forgotten Zhang Xueliang's contribution to the country, and has fully protected Zhang Xueliang with his life. This is not to say that in that era, even in today's society, such a heavy feeling of love and righteousness is also very rare. As a country of etiquette, China must inherit the tradition of cherishing love and righteousness.
