Soong Mei-ling was Chiang Kai-shek's wife, but Soong Mei-ling had a lifelong close friend, and the friendship between the two lasted until his death, he was the famous patriotic general Zhang Xueliang!
As early as before marrying Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling had already met, the two met at a cocktail party, Zhang Xueliang was a gentleman, Song Meiling had a showy demeanor, and the two people stood at the cocktail party, which was a very dazzling existence, and it was difficult not to notice. After the two met at the cocktail party, they became very good friends, had endless topics, and got along very happily. Because the two have a good relationship, there are also rumors that Zhang Xueliang likes Song Meiling. Although rumors are rife in the outside world, this has not affected the friendship between the two, and the two have not deliberately kept a distance because of this.
The friendship between Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling can be said to be very stable, and even if Zhang Xueliang was later imprisoned by Chiang Kai-shek, it did not affect the feelings of the two. During Zhang Xueliang's imprisonment, Song Meiling often visited him in prison, comforted him, and tried everything to save him, she has been advising her husband Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek is also because of listening to Song Meiling's advice, did not shoot Zhang Xueliang, but kept him in prison, until 1990, Zhang Xueliang fully restored his freedom, Zhang Xueliang was imprisoned for more than 50 years.
Because of Song Meiling's help, so Zhang Xueliang is also more grateful and respectful to Song Meiling, for Zhang Xueliang, Song Meiling is not only a friend who can be friends for a lifetime, but also his own savior, if there is no Song Meiling, perhaps he has died a long time ago.
Later, chiang kai-shek died, and Soong Mei-ling felt very sad and went to live in the United States. Although separated from the two places, Zhang Xueliang and Song Meiling have not been able to meet often, but the friendship between the two people has not been affected by this, and the two still often have correspondence and greeting each other's lives. In 2001, Zhang Xueliang, who lived to the age of 101, died, and Song Meiling felt very unacceptable and sad after learning this news, and since then there has been one less close friend in the world.
Song Meiling did not personally go to Zhang Xueliang's funeral site, perhaps because she could not bear it, or perhaps for other reasons, Song Meiling sent Yan Qiuyun to mourn Zhang Xueliang instead of herself, although she did not personally attend the funeral herself, but she transported a wreath by plane, and on the wreath was written the six characters of "General Hanqing Eternity".
Seeing these six words, it is enough to explain the relationship between the two people, enough to show the deep friendship between the two people, and it is really touching to tears. In 2003, two years after Zhang Xueliang's death, Song Meiling also died, and the deep friendship established between the two in this life has been recited for future generations.
