Although China was chaotic during the Republic of China period, there were many patriotic people with both ability and integrity, who were dedicated to the country and the people, selfless and fearless throughout their lives, and admired by people. Zhang Nanxian, who was born during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, is one of the representatives of this type of figure.
Zhang Nanxian grew up in the most depressed years of the Qing Dynasty, and most of what he saw was the cowardice and incompetence of the Qing government, as well as the domineering and arbitrary power of the great powers, so since he was a child, he was determined to save the country and save the people, and took it as his duty to help the world.
In his first year, he followed Song Jiaoren in the revolution and actively participated in anti-Qing activities. After the Xinhai Revolution, he responded to Sun Yat-sen's call and went south to act, resolutely opposing Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne.
In addition to creating momentum for the revolution, Zhang Nanxian also held some practical positions. For example, in 1926, he was appointed as the administrative commissar of Hainan, and after his arrival, he immediately strictly rectified the abuse of the people and the tyrants, punished Xiao Xiaohaoqiang, and not long after, he governed Hainan into a stable place, and the people honored him as "Zhang Qingtian".
In this year in Hainan, Zhang Nanxian's political achievements were remarkable, not only the local people expressed their deep gratitude, but also the party members also praised it. Later, he was transferred to the Control Yuan, and continued to uphold the previous style, scrupulously fulfill his duties, and selflessly, cracking down on many corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
When Zhang Nanxian became an official, he never sold anyone's face, spoke according to justice, was not afraid of power and impartiality, and many powerful people were folded in his hands. For example, Bai Chongxi's elder brother Bai Chongxun was removed by Zhang Nanxian because of his long-term unauthorized departure. Li Zhongren's cousin Wuxue was also often negligent in his duties and was dismissed by Zhang Nanxian.
Some people may say that these are all small minions, and Zhang Nanxian is naturally not afraid of offending. In fact, Zhang Nanxian was not afraid of anyone, and he dared to fight even Chiang Kai-shek's face.
One year, Song Meiling took her mother to Hangzhou for a few days to play, spending more than 10,000 yuan, according to the custom, this money is mostly local financial expenditure, after all, no one dares to ask Mrs. Jiang for an account, and she still wants to stutter.
However, Zhang Nanxian did not care about these things, he hated the officials or their families most for greed, so in front of everyone, he showed the bills and bills consumed by Soong Mei Ling, bluntly saying that he wanted Chiang Kai-shek to reimburse him, and made Chiang Kai-shek unable to come to power, if it were not for fear of bad influence, it was estimated that he would be mad.
This incident not only offended Chiang Kai-shek, but also offended Soong Mei-ling, and she did not know where to hearsay, saying that Zhang Nanxian hid private property in his home and also took care of beautiful concubines, so she immediately left for the Zhang family to secretly visit.
As soon as she entered the Zhang family, Song Meiling was a little surprised, because this house was really broken, and then she saw that the hostess of the house was actually an old woman dressed in simple clothes, and her heart was even more puzzled, suspecting that this was a suspicious array laid out by Zhang Nanxian.
Later, when she saw Zhang Nanxian take out a piece of his own spirit card from home and hear his loud vows, she turned her suspicion into admiration, not only leaving tears, but also not embarrassing him again.
