Zhang Xueliang's marriage
In 1916, the Marshal's Mansion of Zhang Zuolin in the northeast ushered in a great happy event.
Zhang Zuolin set up a banquet in the Marshal's Mansion, feasted on celebrities from the northeast and even the whole country, and celebrated for his little granddaughter who had just reached the full moon, at this time Zhang Zuolin was 41 years old, Zhang Xueliang was 15 years old,
His wife, Yu Feng, was 18 years old, and Zhang Zuolin's family ushered in a third generation of descendants
。
Zhang Zuolin
More than a year ago, Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi married, not long after getting pregnant, and gave birth to Zhang Xueliang's first child after conceiving in October.
This girl was named Lu Ying by Zhang Zuolin, and this name can be said to contain Zhang Zuolin's deep love for this granddaughter.
Zhang Zuolin himself originated in the medical witch Lushan, so the granddaughter's name has this "Lu" character, and Ying is taken from the ancient "Empress Dowager Ying".
Until later, Zhang Xueliang had three sons, and he also said according to a sentence in the "Erya Shidi", "The beauty of the East has the healer Lu Zhixun Qi Yan." The three sons were given the names of Lu Xun, Lu Yue, and Lu Qi, and the eldest sister Lu Ying was renamed Lu Ying.
Zhang Luying's father Zhang Xueliang is no stranger to everyone, he is the eldest son of the warlord Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin is the grand marshal, Zhang Xueliang has also been called a young marshal since he was a child, different from other clumsy children.
Zhang Xueliang did not indulge in sound, entered the military at the age of 17, and also studied in the Army Lecture Hall of the Three Eastern Provinces for more than a year, graduated with excellent results in the first place in the artillery section, and became a regimental commander next to Zhang Zuolin, responsible for protecting his personal safety.

Zhang Xueliang also got acquainted with his old friend Guo Songling in the Lecture Hall.
In the subsequent Zhifeng War, many military achievements were made.
Zhang Luying's mother, Yu Fengzhi, was the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Fengtian, and when Zhang Zuolin was still untroubled in his early years, she was taken care of by Yu Fengzhi's father, Yu Wendou, and it was also at this time that
Zhang Zuolin had a plan to let his son marry Yu Wendou's daughter after his departure, and at that time, feudal superstitions believed that Yu Wendou's daughter had a "phoenix life", and Zhang Zuolin was also convinced that his son was a tiger, and such a heavenly combination was very much in line with Zhang Zuolin's intentions.
Yu Fengzhi
Zhang Zuolin has been exposed to the Western ideas of "democracy" and "freedom" since he was a child, which makes him very resistant to the arranged marriage imposed on him by Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin has to compromise, and the original match in the main room must listen to Zhang Zuolin, but Zhang Zuolin also allows him to have extramarital affairs.
But after marriage, Yu Fengzhi is gentle and humble, polite and courteous, and is completely a big girl,
Many people in the Zhang family respect him very much, and slowly, the father and son of the Zhang family are impressed by Fengzhi, Zhang Xueliang is no longer as resistant as before, but respectfully calls her the eldest sister, Zhang Xueliang also until Yu Fengzhi tirelessly takes care of him, and later Zhang Xueliang got acquainted with Miss Zhao Yidi, Yu Fengzhi also treated her like a sister, and the three of them lived happily together.
Zhao Yidi
Zhang Zuolin originally wanted his son to become intimate with Yu Fengzhi because he wanted to take this opportunity to repay Yu Wendou's kindness to him, and because his selfish "Fengfeng Life" of Fengzhi could bring good luck to the family, but after marriage, Yu Fengzhi also showed virtues that were different from ordinary people, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that such a good woman marrying into the Zhang family was also the obedience of the Zhang family.
Later, when Zhang Zuolin remembered that he had promised Zhang Xueliang that he could have an affair outside, he felt sorry for his good daughter-in-law Yu Fengzhi.
Therefore, he also paid great attention to Feng Zhi, and it was said that no matter how angry Zhang Zuolin was, as long as this daughter-in-law came forward to persuade him, he would soon be discouraged.
Yu Fengzhi did show a virtue rarely seen by a woman,
Smart and alert, respecting the old and loving the young, under her control, the family is a harmonious scene, Zhang Xueliang's brother wants to celebrate his birth mother's birthday, he will also come to ask her to come up with ideas, and he is also very kind to the next person.
Zhang Luying's happy childhood
In such a happy family environment, Zhang Luying lived a carefree and happy childhood
，
The whole family's pampering gave her a person, even if the three younger brothers were born later, the pampering she received did not decrease at all, her grandfather and father loved him, and Zhang Xueliang was even more responsive to her needs. Later, when Zhang Xueliang went to the Army Lecture Hall and served in the army, he often rushed back to see their mother and son.
Zhang Luying
In her childhood, Zhang Luying studied under the guidance of her mother.
Yu Fengzhi was a very famous talented woman when she was a child, plus she had a good personality, she began to study with Her Husband at the age of 7, she was very excellent, only two years later, she was very familiar with the Analects and Tang poems and Song Ci, so Yu Fengzhi taught her daughter without any problems.
Zhang Luying was also very studious like Yu Fengzhi when she was a child, and Zhang Luying's family education was very successful. By the time 8-year-old Zhang Luying began to attend elementary school, she was already the best among her peers in the school, and the teachers liked her very much.
After a few years, Zhang Luying has grown into a big lady with a very outstanding temperament
It is really enviable for children who grow up in such a family, who study well and look beautiful,
Even after Zhang Xueliang began to take charge of various affairs in the northeast, he would often take time to accompany his children on trips, creating a beautiful childhood for the children in that gloomy era.
Such a big show, the media will certainly not give up their attention,
In February 1930, a photograph of Zhang Luying was published in the Shenyang Daya Pictorial, which was still a front-page headline, and the photo of Zhang Luying had already become a lady, and the newspaper also wrote down Zhang Luying's prominent life in large characters, when she was only 14 years old.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Luying also came to the time to go to college,
She entered the Fengtian Provincial Women's Normal School in Shenyang, where her mother had studied, where she had trained Zhang Zuolin's fourth wife and the wife of his father's close friend Guo Songling. At this time, Zhang Luying still had a wish in her heart that she could study abroad, but Zhang Xueliang was worried that she was not yet an adult and could not take care of herself, so she did not agree.
It was not until Zhang Xueliang went to the field in 1933 that he had the opportunity to take his family to Europe to investigate.
Zhang Luying's wish to study abroad was also wished, during the travel to Italy, France, Britain and other countries, Zhang Luying's desire to study abroad was even stronger, Zhang Xueliang did not refuse again, just let Yu Fengzhi stay here to take care of them, and the three younger brothers also stayed here to study.
Studying in Italy during this period is also a very happy period of Zhang Luying's life.
Her mother's care and her brother's company did not make her feel too much lonely in a foreign country, and her father's good friend Ciano also gave them a lot of help in life, the study abroad life was very smooth, and the education she received here also made her think a lot better.
The happy study abroad life in Italy came to an abrupt end in 1936, when Italy began to support the regime of puppet Manchukuo.
Zhang Xueliang was very angry, and his friendship with Ciano was broken, and Yu Fengzhi led his four children to move to London, England to continue their studies.
Falling in love
It was during this time of study in London that Zhang Luying met her lifelong partner Tao Pengfei.
At this time, Zhang Luying was 20 years old, and Tao Pengfei was also the age of prosperity, and the two fell in love in London, but their fate seemed to have laid the groundwork in their youth.
At that time, Tao Pengfei was still studying at Northeastern University, and he liked to play basketball in middle school, and at this time he also led the basketball team to be received by Zhang Xueliang, who was the president of Northeastern University at that time.
After the September 18 incident, he went to Cambridge University, Tao Pengfei's family lineage is ordinary, I don't know if Zhang Xueliang is this reason to oppose the love affair between the two.
But as a mother, Yu Fengzhi knew her daughter's thoughts, Zhang Luying once refused to marry the Kong family, one of the four major families at that time, and openly declared that she would marry Buyi if she wanted to marry, Yu Fengzhi was also forced to accept her marriage with Zhang Xueliang, but she was luckier.
Yu Fengzhi did not oppose this feeling.
The feelings of the two are also deepening, the two walk together, exchange progressive ideas together, and can be regarded as an enviable couple,
This relationship has also lasted for a lifetime. Later, Tao Pengfei went to Germany and the United States to study for a doctorate, and Zhang Luying always followed him, at this time, Zhang Luying officially wrote to his father to say his ideas, but he was still opposed by Zhang Xueliang, and finally Yu Fengzhi was the master, and the two got married.
The married life of the two is also very happy, settled in the United States,
This also takes care of mothers who have lived in the United States for a long time. Yu Fengzhi has been living in the United States since she had breast cancer surgery, and her daughter and son-in-law have also taken great care of her, and her body has slowly recovered, and after recovering, she realized that life is not easy.
Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek and did not know when it would be, the Zhang family's property has not been managed for so many years, so it will definitely be exhausted one day, Yu Fengzhi has slowly been able to use English proficiently after receiving English tutoring.
With the helplessness of life, the self-confidence of education, and the talent left to her by her father who was a businessman, she resolutely broke into the stock market and earned her first pot of gold.
Later, Zhang Luying and his wife moved to San Francisco with their mother, but Yu Fengzhi was not accustomed to the noisy life, so he moved to a small town in the suburbs, and Zhang Luying and his wife often visited her when they had free time.
Tao Pengfei was a professor at the University of California, and Zhang Luying was also engaged in education work, working diligently for many years, and being kind, so that the two of them accumulated a lot of contacts in the local Chinese society.
Tao Pengfei also founded the San Francisco Chinese Friendship Association in 1966 and served as the president for many years, and Zhang Luying also assisted her husband in handling many fraternity affairs, which the husband and wife persisted until their old age.
Zhang Luying Tao Pengfei and his wife
See your father again
In the years when Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned, Zhang Luying often missed her father.
In the spring of 1961, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly invited overseas Chinese scholars to Taiwan to investigate, and Tao Pengfei, Zhang Luying and his wife were also invited, even if they were very angry at Chiang Kai-shek's years of seclusion of his father, but this was always an opportunity to have the opportunity to see his father, Yu Fengzhi also suggested that they participate, but they could not see their husbands who missed day and night when they were old.
But in fact, this invitation to Zhang Luying and his wife is not Chiang Kai-shek's original intention, Chiang Kai-shek did not know that the two were in the list of invitees, during the meeting when the media broke out Zhang Luying's identity, Chiang Kai-shek was even more shocked.
He immediately ordered that no one should be allowed to visit Zhang Xueliang, not even Zhang Luying and his wife.
Zhang Luying was very angry when she heard the news, and they found all the resources they could find to expose Chiang Kai-shek's detention of his father, and did not allow his family to visit.
Zhang Xueliang was even more ignorant of this series of events, and it was only when the prisoners accompanied him to buy vegetables that he saw the news in the newspaper, and Zhang Xueliang learned that his daughter had come to Taiwan and was even more eager to see her daughter.
Zhang Xueliang was helpless and finally turned to Zhang Qun, who was then the "secretary general of the Presidential Office" of the Taiwan authorities or a good brother whom Chiang Kai-shek had befriended since his youth
Zhang Luying also found Zhang Qun at the same moment, he saw that the father-daughter family was greatly moved, so he helped each other, Zhang Xueliang's father and daughter were also able to meet, but they could only see each other for an hour.
After this event, the couple returned to the United States to continue to take care of their mother.
The husband and wife have also retired at this time, busy with the work of the Chinese fraternity during the day, and spend more time with their mothers when they are idle, in addition to not having a father to accompany them, the family can also enjoy the joy of the world.
But with the addition of Zhang Luying's younger brothers, the family is actually not lucky, in the chaotic years, the family is also separated from all over the place, in 1981 and 1986, the second brother and the third brother have passed away, their youngest brother died as early as 1931 because of tuberculosis, Zhang Xueliang was detained by Chiang Kai-shek for half a lifetime,
Although Yu Fengzhi was also suffering from illness, he was still able to reunite with Zhang Luying and his wife.
In March 1990, Yu Fengzhi died of illness, Zhang Luying did the aftermath for his mother, and due to chiang Ching-kuo's death in Taiwan, Zhang Xueliang gradually regained his personal freedom, but that was a few months after Yu Fengzhi's death, and the two had not seen each other since Yu Fengzhi went to the United States for treatment due to illness.
In his later years, Zhang Xueliang finally got the company of his daughter, until October 2001, Zhang Xueliang died of illness in Hawaii at the age of 101, 14 years later, the former handsome house, Zhang Xueliang's only daughter also died in the United States, as long as his father, at the age of 100.
