In 1915, 15-year-old Zhang Xueliang married Yu Fengzhi, who was 3 years older than himself, under the arrangement of his father Zhang Zuolin. Yu Fengzhi is the daughter of the wealthy merchant Yu Wendou, and Zhang Zuolin has long had the heart of retribution because Yu Wendou has saved his life. After Zhang Zuolin accidentally learned that Yu Wendou had a daughter who knew the book Dali and that "Fulu is deep and belongs to the phoenix", he felt that this was a match made in heaven, so he asked Yu family for affection.
On the one hand, Zhang Zuolin hoped to repay Yu Wendou's kindness, on the other hand, he thought that this daughter-in-law's fate of Li Wangfu could bring good luck to the family, and he was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law Yu Fengzhi. However, Zhang Xueliang was very disgusted with this kind of marriage made by "the words of his parents and the covenant of the matchmaker", and psychologically contradicted Yu Fengzhi, who was 3 years older than himself.
Zhang Zuolin had no choice but to compromise and adopted a compromise attitude to say to his son: "Your original roommate must listen to me." If you do not agree with the old-style marriage, after you marry the daughter of the Yu family, you will ask your daughter-in-law to follow your mother. You're looking for women out there again, I can leave it alone. Seeing that his father had said so, Zhang Xueliang had to accept the marriage.
Before getting married, Zhang Xueliang had always rejected this fiancée. However, after marriage, Yu Feng to Wen Wanxianshu, the character of equal emphasis on moral integrity and talent also made Zhang Xueliang change her mind a lot. Zhang Xueliang has always called Yu Fengzhi the eldest sister after marriage, because of Yu Fengzhi's forgiveness and consideration, the two people's married life is also harmonious.
In the Zhang family, Yu Fengzhi always gave the impression of being approachable, polite, and insightful in doing things. Therefore, she has a good reputation and reputation in the Shuai Mansion, from her in-laws to her servants. Zhang Zuolin was even more full of praise for the daughter-in-law he had chosen, admiring her for having this kind of character at a young age. Zhang Zuolin also felt guilty about Feng Zhi, because he initially allowed his son to find a woman outside.
After marriage, Zhang Xueliang, although he received considerate care from Yu Fengzhi, was not very peaceful. After all, the marriage is arranged by the family, he is at the age of flesh and blood, skip the love and get married, naturally not very willing. Therefore, Zhang Xueliang began to make girlfriends, fall in love, and even live with others outside. How could the clever Yu Fengzhi not detect that her husband was not devoted to her?
However, she is a famous bridesmaid in the end, and she has a calm and forbearance that ordinary women do not have. In the face of Zhang Xueliang's history of affair, she never cried or blamed her verbally, but silently buried the pain in her heart and continued to take care of Zhang Xueliang meticulously.
It wasn't until 1927 that a 16-year-old girl who had not yet finished secondary school came to her home, knelt down on her knees, and begged her to take her in. And this girl was exactly the same as Zhang Xueliang,000 Miss Zhao Yidi, who was once in and out of pairs, and made a lot of noise outside. In order to be with Zhang Xueliang, Zhao Si even did not hesitate to quit marriage and fell out with her family, and for the sake of the young marshal, she chased all the way from Tianjin to Shenyang.
For the intervention of such a girl, the family members all objected, and yu Fengzhi did not feel threatened? However, in the face of Zhao Si's bitter pleading and Zhang Xueliang's determined eyes, Yu Fengzhi was still soft in the end. A girl who has not finished her books has been kicked out of the house, where else can she go?
Yu Fengzhi took the initiative and allowed Zhao Si to stay with Zhang Xueliang as a secretary, on the condition that he did not have the title of lady and could not enter the Shuai Mansion. She thought that this would make Zhao Si retreat, but in this way, Zhang Xueliang was even more obsessed with Zhao Yidi and did not return outside. Yu Fengzhi was so distressed that he had to pay for it himself and build a house for Zhao Yidi on the edge of the Shuai Mansion. After receiving Zhao Yidi, Yu Fengzhi saw that she was smart and cute, and she was called a little sister and treated her with courtesy.

In the matter of feelings, Yu Fengzhi has a calm and pattern beyond that of ordinary women. In the major affairs of the family and country, she also has the courage and courage of "not letting the eyebrows be shaved".
In 1928, during the Huanggutun Incident, Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese army. At this time, Zhang Xueliang was in North China, and the form of the Northeast shape was not optimistic, and the Japanese army was ready to counterattack at any time. In this critical situation, Yu Fengzhi took into account the overall situation, kept a secret, skillfully maneuvered with the Japanese forces, and finally successfully assisted Zhang Xueliang in completing the transfer of military power in the northeast.
In 1936, after the Xi'an Incident, Zhang Xueliang was detained, and a woman traveled for her husband and mediated for help. Later, Zhang Xueliang was sentenced to imprisonment, and she stayed by his side, not leaving an inch.
Watching her husband, who used to gallop across the battlefield, now become a caged bird, singing the mournful "Shiro Visiting Mother" over and over again in the closed hut, she was in pain, anxiety, and worry. Coupled with the harsh environment in prison, she eventually fell ill. Under the persuasion of Zhang Xueliang, she went to the United States for medical treatment, and before leaving, she personally handed over her husband to Miss Zhao Si and asked her to take care of Zhang Xueliang on her behalf.
If she had known that she was going at that time, she would have been a lifelong difference between her and the young marshal, and the heavens and men would never have been separated, and she probably wouldn't have left no matter what.
After coming to the United States, she was already in the advanced stage of breast cancer, and underwent chemotherapy and two large-scale surgeries before and after, all of which lost her hair and removed her left breast. But in order to keep her children from being orphaned, with the belief of seeing her husband again, she had to survive these pains one by one.
After recovering from her illness, she began to find ways to make money and plan for the future of herself and her husband. The young marshal was still in prison, and she could not bear to let her husband spend the rest of his life in poverty. So, with the help of her friends, she began to learn foreign languages, learn to speculate in stocks, invest in real estate, and also take into account the children's learning and life. She was originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and with extraordinary courage and vision, she finally killed a bloody road in the Wall Street stock market and accumulated a certain amount of entrepreneurial capital.
She struggled half her life, and it was hard to see a little hope for the future, but she did not expect that what she was waiting for was a divorce agreement.

In 1960, Zhang Xueliang, under the introduction of Song Meiling, believed in Christianity, but the doctrine did not allow polygamy, and he could only choose between Feng Zhi and Zhao Si. At this time, because Zhao Si had already broken with his family and taken care of his life as a prisoner for more than thirty years, he could not fail her, so he could only live up to Yu Fengzhi, who had always sacrificed for him.
Zhang Xueliang called Yu Fengzhi and said to her: "We have always been together, and we will not be separated no matter what." She tearfully agreed to divorce, and she understood that she had to divorce herself in order to save her husband. She watched as her husband finally became someone else's. However, throughout her life, she never changed her signature - Zhang Yufengzhi.
After the divorce, other tribulations in her life took turns to hit her. She and Zhang Xueliang's four children, one died of illness and one was insane and died in a mental hospital. In the end, even her most beloved eldest son became a vegetative person because of drag racing. In her later years, she was accompanied only by her daughter and son-in-law.
For these misfortunes in life, fate's only reward for her was the success of her career. Inheriting her father's keen businessman's vision, she made investment and business flourish, becoming a leader in the Chinese American circle. But for a lonely old man, no amount of assets is meaningful.
In his later years, Yu Fengzhi bought two celebrity homes in Los Angeles. She decorated the two villas according to the residential style of the home of the Shuncheng Wangfu in Beijing, living in one place herself and leaving the other for Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Si.
She once said to her grandchildren:
"I spend all my money on buying a house, hoping that in the future, when your grandfather is free, this villa can be used as a place for him and Zhao Qixia to spend their old age together, which is also the best gift I have given him."
However, life has long hated the water and the east, and she has been looking forward to the young marshal for half a lifetime, but she still can't wait for the day of reunion.

On March 20, 1990, Yu Fengzhi, 93, died alone in a mansion in Los Angeles. She confessed in her last words: After her death, all the property was left to Zhang Xueliang.
Although Zhang Xueliang has signed a divorce agreement with her, in Fengzhi's mind, he is his eternal husband and the only person she has loved in her life. The name engraved on her tombstone is not Yu Fengzhi, but Zhang YuFengzhi. In your last name, in my name, she used this way to confess her whole life.
After Zhang Xueliang was released from prison, he took Zhao Si to pay homage to Fengzhi's tomb, remembering her affection before her death, Zhang Xueliang tearfully sighed: "There are no regrets in life, only this one." ”
Zhang Xueliang eventually failed Yu Fengzhi and took this disappointment to the grave. Before Yu Fengzhi's death, he was unable to reunite with Zhang Xueliang and regretted it for half a lifetime. Before dying, she instructed her relatives to leave an empty tomb by the side of her tomb so that she could sleep with the young marshal under the Nine Springs. However, this wish was not fulfilled in the end.
In October 2001, Zhang Xueliang died and was buried in the famous Valley of the Temple Memorial Cemetery on the east coast of Hawaii, which is also the resting place of Miss Zhao Si. Here the two men continued their lifelong struggle.
If Yu Fengzhi knew, he would probably cry for himself. I don't know if she will regret taking in a girl who is kneeling and crying on that unusual day, Whether she will regret not being able to turn the tide before the young marshal goes to prison, and Whether she will regret going to the United States due to illness and handing over her husband to another woman.
In these love stories passed down from generation to generation, everyone praises Miss Zhao Si's long love. However, behind this, if there is no silent fulfillment of her, how can such a legend come from in the world?
The world is sometimes very strange, and the person who loves most deeply in the relationship between two people often has to be disappointed. People are always accustomed to being moved by themselves, thinking that they have been disappointed a lot, and will wait for sincere feelings. The fact that people who can always fail you once will not mind failing you again.
In feelings, whether men or women, in addition to rational blessings, they also need sensibility and willfulness. In the past hundred years of life, many people have finally understood this truth: instead of exhibiting a hundred years in history, it is better to cry on the shoulders of their lovers for one night.
