On October 14, 2001, Zhang Xueliang died of illness in Honolulu, USA, at the age of 101, at this time Zhang Xueliang's former enemies had long been dead, and almost all of his friends had died, after all, he was alive, and several people could live past 100 years.
Not always, among Zhang Xueliang's friends, there is another very important figure who is still alive and well in the United States, that is, Song Meiling, who was 104 years old at the time, and there are many stories about Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling.
Zhang Xueliang is the young marshal of Zhang Zuolin, the "King of the Northeast", and everyone knows that Song Meiling is the thousand gold of the chaebol Song family, and is a realistic version of "Gao Fu Shuai" and "Bai Fumei", and Zhang Xueliang has a good impression of Song Meiling.
What about Song Meiling to Zhang Xueliang? In 1925, Feng Shi defeated Sun Chuanfang, and the Northeast Army was also Zhang Xueliang's first entry into Shanghai, and the night in Shanghai made Zhang Xueliang confused, and Song Meiling was very appreciative of this handsome and knowledgeable young marshal.
When he was in Shanghai, Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling also danced together, and even Zhang Xueliang once said in private that if he did not already have a wife, he would definitely chase After Song Meiling. Although I don't know whether this statement is true or not, at least it can be said that Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling have a good impression of each other.
Zhang Xueliang once wrote a poem: "Since ancient times, heroes are lustful, but they may not be lustful heroes." Although I am not a hero, I am only lustful like a hero. It is not difficult to see from this that Zhang Xueliang lacks self-control over beautiful women.
After Soong Meiling, Zhang Xueliang also met many beautiful women, there are also many stories, Soong Meiling also had Chiang Kai-shek, although he did not become lovers or husband and wife with Soong Meiling, but the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
After the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang finally chose to send Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, among which it has to be said that Song Meiling contributed a lot, relying on his personal relationship with Zhang Xueliang, when Zhang Xueliang decided to personally send Chiang Kai-shek to Nanjing.
Most people were dissuaded, but Zhang Xueliang insisted on sending it, because at that time, Song Meiling and Song Ziwen promised Zhang Xueliang, and out of the trust of sending Song Meiling, Zhang Xueliang made a decision that almost ruined himself.
Later, everyone knew that Zhang Xueliang was under house arrest, and after Soong Meiling quarreled with Chiang Kai-shek for this, to no avail, Soong Meiling began to give preferential treatment to Zhang Xueliang in terms of living treatment, so even if he was placed under house arrest, Zhang Xueliang's life was very good.
It was not until the death of the two Chiang Kai-shek that Zhang Xueliang regained his freedom and flew to the United States, while Soong Mei-ling arrived in the United States as early as after Chiang Kai-shek's death, and the two often exchanged letters in their later years in the United States.
Due to her advanced age, Song Meiling could not go in person, and the trustee sent a wreath with a 6-character eulogy "General HanQing For Thousands of Ages" attached to the wreath, tasting the story between the two, these 6 words read the words to poke the heart, and make people cry.
