During the Republic of China period, there were many popular figures. Among them, Zhang Xueliang is the most significant one. Zhang Xueliang was the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin and the second leader of the four northeastern provinces. Zhang Xueliang had a smooth life and a half life, and stories about him were circulating throughout the Republic of China at that time. Today, what I want to talk about is General Zhang's wife, Yu Fengzhi, how much do you know about her?
Zhang Xueliang was born into a noble family, the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the Feng clan warlords, and he was destined for an extraordinary life from the moment he landed on the ground. Zhang Xueliang did not have the strength to fight back at all in front of his father Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin favored Zhang Xueliang and smoothed the obstacles ahead for Zhang Xueliang. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin was also a representative of a typical feudal patriarch. Zhang Zuolin arranged a marriage for Zhang Xueliang, and let Zhang Xueliang, who was willing to be free, marry Yu Fengzhi. Although Zhang Xueliang resisted, it was useless in the end.
Yu Fengzhi is the daughter of a large landlord in the northeast, and in the early years, Yu Fengzhi's father helped Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin remembered his father's kindness, so he promised this family affair. Yu Fengzhi is three years older than Zhang Shaoshuai, and is a typical representative of everyone's boudoir. Yu Fengzhi knows the book Dali, and knows the way of business, and has been married to Zhang Xueliang for many years, although there is not much affection, but Yu Fengzhi has always been inseparable from Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang was fighting outside, Yu Fengzhi prayed at home, Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned by Jiang, and Yu Fengzhi mediated everywhere for help. Zhang Xue's conscience, although Yu Fengzhi is not the woman he loves the most, he is the woman he respects the most. Zhang Xueliang usually calls Yu Fengzhi the eldest sister, and is a family member who treats each other sincerely. Although the two do not have too many marital feelings, they are full of affection.
After Zhang Xueliang launched the Xi'an Incident and was imprisoned, Yu Fengzhi went everywhere to mediate. On the one hand, Yu Fengzhi was diagnosed with breast cancer, and on the other hand, Zhang Xueliang's freedom was hopeless. Therefore, after Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi consulted, Yu Fengzhi went abroad to see a doctor and take care of the children. At this point, Miss Zhao Si accompanied Zhang Xueliang, and Yu Fengzhi's departure also meant that she officially gave up Mrs. Zhang's position. Miss Zhao Si stayed by Zhang Xueliang's side without abandonment, and as a partner in life, married Zhang Xueliang. Yu Fengzhi, who heard the news, was like ashes, and everyone was not worth it for her, but she didn't think so. In other words, Zhang Xueliang betrayed her, but she ran the family property for Zhang Xueliang, took care of the children, and thought about Zhang Xueliang everywhere.
Yu Fengzhi, as Zhang Xueliang's former wife, even after separating from Zhang Xueliang, she still remembers the relationship between husband and wife yesterday. No matter how popular Zhang Xueliang is, she is like a parent, taking care of everything for Zhang Xueliang. Because I love Zhang Xueliang deeply, I will not hate him. Yu Feng did not complain about Zhang Xueliang until his death, despite how ruthless and unjust his husband was. On Yu Fengzhi's tombstone, "Zhang Yu Fengzhi", only four words, are enough to see Yu Fengzhi's heart. Many years after Yu Fengzhi's death, Zhang Xueliang went to visit, and when he saw these four words, it was like being hit hard, and he couldn't kneel. Zhang Xue's conscience understood that no matter what, after all, he was sorry for Yu Fengzhi.
The world respects Yu Fengzhi as an extraordinary woman, and what Yu Fengzhi does is indeed not something that ordinary women can do. Yu Fengzhi is talented and has a brain, and in the great Zhang family, he can still be orderly. Treating feelings, she has been poor all her life and has worked hard for Zhang Xueliang. Yu Fengzhi, as the representative of an infatuated woman, should be respected.
