On the way to the United States, Zhang Xueliang was excited like an old naughty boy, he wore a French beanie hat, wore gold-rimmed sunglasses, and still had the gentleman of the young marshal, this dress was designed for him by Zhao Yidi himself, and he was very satisfied.
90-year-old Zhang Xueliang flew to San Francisco with his wife Zhao Yidi, and after arriving in San Francisco, she first lived in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, and then flew to Los Angeles, meeting friends she had not seen for many years, but Yu Fengzhi had died a year ago, and she finally did not wait for the day when she met Zhang Xueliang.
After playing in Los Angeles for four days, Zhang Xueliang could not sit still, he said that he was going to New York, at that time Zhao Yidi was very puzzled, because his children and friends should have seen, there is no need to go to New York, but Zhang Xueliang is very determined, and said to his relatives and friends: "I want to go to New York alone to meet friends, and it is also a girlfriend!" ”
Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Yidi
Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Xueliang was joking, but who knew that he actually did what he said, Zhang Xueliang said that he could go and let Zhao Yidi rest at home, so he left Zhao Yidi, who was not in good health, in San Francisco.
Zhao Yidi originally thought that Zhang Xueliang was going to see Song Meiling, because after Chiang Kai-shek's death, Song Meiling moved to the Locust Valley in New York, so Zhao Yidi did not stop him.
Zhang Xueliang then went to New York accompanied by his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Zhang Xueliang was completely free for the first time, there were no guards guarding, no woman to manage, as if he had returned to the years when he was a young marshal, when he arrived in New York, he lived in the mansion of Mrs. Bei on Manhattan's Garden Street, and everyone suddenly realized that the old friend he wanted to see was actually the old lover Jiang Si Miss Jiang Shiyun, who was the favorite of his life in Zhang Xueliang's eyes.
Jiang Shiyun
Jiang Shiyun is the wife of Pei Zuyi, the former governor of the Central Bank of the National Government, and the stepmother of the famous architect Pei, as a famous lady in Jiangnan, Miss Jiang Si met and fell in love with Zhang Xueliang as early as the 1920s, the two were in love with each other, but they could not get married because of yin and yang, but they have always loved each other deeply.
When Zhang Xueliang arrived, Jiang Shiyun lived alone at this time, when Jiang Shiyun's husband Bei Zuyi had died in 1982, and after Miss Jiang Si saw Zhang Xueliang, the old feelings were revived and suddenly full of vitality.
Jiang Shiyun planned a detailed activity plan for Zhang Xueliang, filled Zhang Xueliang's schedule, met old friends, participated in various activities, would worship in the Chinese church, and also met some old subordinates, accompanied Zhang Xueliang to the restaurant, rubbed mahjong, went to the racecourse to watch the horse race, and went to the gymnasium to watch the ball game.
Zhang Xueliang and Jiang Shiyun
In addition to being happy, Zhang Xueliang wrote an oil poem in New York: "Since ancient times, heroes are lustful, if they are not lustful, they are not heroes." Although I am not a hero, I am also like a hero! Zhang Xueliang once said such a sentence: "Yu Fengzhi is the best wife, Zhao Yidi is the most troubled wife, Jiang Shiyun is the most lovely girlfriend, and my favorite is in New York." ”
Zhang Xueliang was busy with various foreign affairs activities every day under Jiang Shiyun's arrangement, and the old lovers' old feelings were rekindled, as if they wanted to stay and fly twice, and the most solemn activity that Jiang Shiyun arranged for Zhang Xueliang was to celebrate his ninetieth birthday, and more than 400 people from all walks of life in China and the United States came to wish him a happy birthday, and Jiang Shiyun and Zhang Xueliang have been close together, like an old lover who has a long affection for you and me.
Such a happy life made Zhang Xueliang forget the time, and he lived in Jiang Shiyun's house for 3 months. These 3 months were the happiest 90 days of the young marshal's 50 years of house arrest, and there was neither plainclothes surveillance around him nor Mrs. Zhao Yidi, only Jiang Shiyun took good care of him, and his life was free and carefree.
He had almost forgotten Miss Zhao Si who was left in Los Angeles, until Miss Zhao Si called him to urge him to go home, and he suddenly realized that there was still a Miss Zhao Si in Los Angeles waiting for him to go home.
Zhang Xueliang's trip is very surprising to the people around him, but everyone also secretly admires him in their hearts, the old and young marshals who have gone through hardships in their nineties are really old and old, and the rivers and mountains are easy to change and difficult to move, they are so old that they have not forgotten their old lovers.
In late June 1991, Zhao Yidi personally went out to pick up Zhang Xueliang, who was still reluctant to leave Jiang Shiyun, from New York, and for Jiang Shiyun, this meeting became their last wind flow, in fact, this is also the last flow of amorous old and young marshals.
