A generation of heroes Zhang Zhidong I has two sons of traitors, which can be called a major failure in life
Zhang Zhidong, known as "Zhang Xiangshuai", is the main leader of the Western school in the late Qing Dynasty, at the same time he is also the main advocate of the modern industrial revolution, also known as the "Father of Steel", the late Qing "Five Famous Ministers", Zhang Zhidong is the latest one, but also the only one who has not personally experienced the war, Zhang Zhidong is a pure civilian minister, and its smooth sailing on the road of scientific research is also a rare anomaly in the ancient science field.
Zhang Zhidong served the country and the people all his life, and until the moment of his death, he was still concerned about the cause of the take-off of the history of the motherland. In the last 20 years of his life, he has been committed to changing the status quo in China, attaching importance to education, building railways, and building factories, but all these changes have not saved the decaying Qing Dynasty. Two years later, he won the first place in the strong-handed Shuntianfu Township Examination, which caused a sensation.
Later, under the care of Empress Dowager Cixi, Zhang Zhidong's career was also extremely smooth, after he became an official in Beijing, he successively served as a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, a bachelor of lectures, Zuo Chunfang Zuo Shuzi and other official positions, during which he dared to speak up, and was rewarded by Shilin, when the nation was in danger, some people did not think of ways to save the country, but chose to become a traitor who was spurned by people, and this spurned traitor was not an outsider, but Zhang Zhidong's two biological sons, perhaps Zhang Zhidong himself would not have thought that the education he had been paying attention to all his life. It is sad that they have not been able to teach their two sons the truth of being human.
Zhang Zhidong's fifth son is indeed a learned person, and Zhang Zhidong's fifth son was born when he was already in the Republic of China, people at that time did not need to participate in the imperial examination, you can study abroad, learn more things, than when the imperial examination, a lot more, so at this time Zhang Zhidong's fifth son Zhang Yanqing, like many people, went abroad, the longer Zhang Yanqing stayed abroad, the more he did not want to return to his own country, and the country where Zhang Yanqing studied was not the United States, South Korea, It was Japan that we hated more, and the more he was in Japan, the more he was a traitor, so he naturally became a traitor that everyone hated.
When he was a traitor, he was not ashamed but proud, and later he was not a traitor alone, he also brought his youngest brother, it can be said that the reason why Zhang Zhidong's younger son will embark on the road of traitorism is mainly because of Zhang Yanqing, many people will ask Zhang Zhidong's education cause so successful, so his two sons became traitors? Most of the reasons are that Zhang Zhidong slowly grew older in later years, and when his two sons were born, Zhang Zhidong's health became worse and worse, and he did not have the energy to take care of his two young sons or teach them both, which was also the reason why his two sons went astray.
