Zhang Xueliang, known as the "beautiful man of the Republic of China", also had a vigorous love. Before knowing Zhao Yidi, Zhang Xueliang also experienced many women, each of whom was a beautiful woman of the most beautiful generation at that time, like Zhang Xueliang's original match with Fengzhi, who was a talented and beautiful girl, but the love was shallow, and the two finally ended this relationship.
Zhao Yidi and Zhang Xueliang met for the first time at the dance party of the Cai Mansion in Tianjin, one of them was a young girl in the flower season who had just opened her love, and the other was a personable and charming prince, just because of this glance at the dance, it laid the foundation for her seventy-two years of interdependence.
Zhao Yidi is a standard rich family, her father Zhao Qinghua is the deputy minister of transportation of the Beiyang government, and Zhao Yidi is the fourth oldest in the family, so many people are accustomed to calling her "Miss Zhao Si". This Miss Zhao Si was born beautiful and very intelligent, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she became the cover girl of beiyang pictorial, so she became famous.
With the frequent contact, the feelings of the two people quickly warmed up, from the good feelings of the first encounter to the close friends who talked about everything, at this moment, Miss Zhao Si's heart had long been occupied by Zhang Xueliang. However, what Zhao Yidi did not expect was that Zhang Xueliang had a wife early on, and fate separated the two people who loved each other, and Miss Zhao Si had to hide her feelings at all times.
In 1928, Zhang Xueliang's father Zhang Zuolin was assassinated, and Zhang Xueliang had no time to take care of Zhao Yidi anymore and hurried back to the northeast. Zhao Yidi wanted to follow him, but was obstructed by Zhao Qinghua and imprisoned at home, only to escape with the help of the sixth brother.
After escaping, Zhao Yidi did not hesitate to fall out with his father, abandoning the identity of Miss Qianjin and rushing to Fengtian alone. Zhao Qinghua was furious at this and publicly severed the father-son relationship with Zhao Yidi in the newspaper. Zhao Yidi, who was alone, came to the northeast, and Zhang Xueliang had no choice but to take her in. But on the other hand, Zhang Xueliang's original match, Yu Fengzhi, could not tolerate her husband having other lovers.
So she and Zhao Yidi agreed on three chapters of the Fa. First, her surname is Not allowed. Second, she was not allowed to enter the Shuai Mansion. Third, she is not allowed to have an official name. Originally, Yu Fengzhi wanted to force Zhao Yidi to retreat through these requirements, but she underestimated Zhao Yidi's love for Zhang Xueliang. In order to be able to stay by Zhang Xueliang's side, Zhao Yidi accepted various conditions and accompanied Zhang Xueliang as a "secretary", which was 36 years.
After the Xi'an Incident in 1936, Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned. Yu Fengzhi traveled to many places and tried his best to rescue her husband, but she repeatedly ran into a wall, and finally suffered from breast cancer and had to go to the United States for treatment. Before leaving, Yu Fengzhi sent a telegram to Zhao Yidi, asking if she would like to come and accompany Zhang Xueliang, and Zhao Yidi readily agreed. So these decades of seclusion life, Zhao Yidi has always accompanied Zhang Xueliang.
For two women who treat him very well, Zhang Xueliang is difficult to choose. Finally, Zhang Xueliang spoke with Yu Fengzhi and expressed his desire for divorce, Yu Fengzhi finally figured it out, she knew that this love had reached the end of the road, rather than three people suffering, it was better to let go of it herself. Yu Fengzhi agreed and signed the divorce agreement.
On July 4, 1964, Zhao Yidi finally waited for the wedding of her dreams, although she was more than half a hundred years old at this time, but for her, she was finally able to live by Zhang Xueliang's side as a formal name, which was enough. The two may not have the style of the past in their later years, but they have sought stability for half a lifetime.
After that, it will be another 36 years.
On June 22, 2000, Zhao Yidi died in the United States. Before his death, Zhang Xueliang had been holding her hand in silence for a long time, unwilling to leave for a long time, and finally desperately spit out three words: she is dead. These three short words, full of reluctance and sadness, thirty-six followers, thirty-six companionship, and seventy-two years of togetherness, are the deepest love that a woman has precipitated with her entire life.
