As a person who can promote the course of Chinese history, the Xi'an Incident is called by many as an event that changed the course of Chinese history.

This war not only changed the course of China's history, but also changed the trajectory of yang Hucheng's family.
Yang Hucheng was married three times in his life, the first lady was called Luo Peilan, the two married in 1916, after the marriage, the two have been very good feelings, Luo Peilan has been accompanying Yang Hucheng.
Luo Peilan is clever and reasonable, and can always give Yang Hucheng some support and help at some critical moments to solve problems for Yang Hucheng.
But then Luo Peilan died of a serious illness, which made Yang Hucheng very sad, because his son was still young at that time, and he himself played the role of "filial piety", wearing filial piety for his wife, leading the way with banners, and performing the ceremony of filial piety.
This is also enough to see Yang Hucheng's deep love for his wife. After Luo Peilan's death, Yang Hucheng's mother was bent on finding a satisfactory daughter-in-law for her son.
One day in 1919, Yang Hucheng was called back by his mother, and he thought that there was something urgent in the family, so he hurried back home.
Only then did I know that it was originally to let her marry a girl named Zhang Huilan. At this time, Zhang Huilan was only 14 years old, did not understand anything, and obeyed the command of her parents.
Yang Hucheng is also known for his filial piety, as long as his mother is willing, he never says anything. In this way, the two got married.
But it is precisely because when she was a child, she did not understand anything, and her parents let whoever became a parent with her, so when she grew up, Zhang Huilan felt the troubles of life and began to have a little resentment towards her father.
Yang Zhengmin once wrote in his recollection: "What puzzled me was that she poured all her resentment on her father, but she still loved her husband (my father) as ever." ”
What is the relationship between Yang Hucheng and Zhang Huilan? In fact, there is more respect between them than love.
In December 1949, Yang Zhengmin suddenly received a phone call from General Zhao Shoushan, an old subordinate of Yang Hucheng, who did not know what was happening, but heard General Zhao Shoushan's tone very serious, asking him to hurry to his house.
Yang Zhengmin had an ominous premonition, and he could feel that General Zhao Shoushan's heart was heavy when he made this call. But he didn't dare to think any further, he didn't dare to imagine what he would hear in a moment...
After coming to General Zhao Shoushan's house, he still heard news that he did not want to hear: his father had died.
Yang Zhengmin was blinded, his tears couldn't stop flowing out, tears washed away his eyes, all this was too cruel!

After Yang Zhengmin returned home, he was originally ready not to tell his mother about this bad news, but Zhang Huilan kept asking his son: "What the hell happened, what is your Uncle Zhao in an emergency to find you?" ”
Under the pressure of his mother, Yang Zhengmin still told the truth, Zhang Huilan fainted on the spot, and several sisters on the side also squatted on the ground and cried after listening, originally this was a good time for their family reunion, who could have imagined that the dream was shattered at this moment.
However, what touched Yang Zhengmin was that Premier Zhou and other central leaders called one after another to express their condolences and condolences, and asked Zhang Huilan about her physical condition with concern.
On the day of the memorial service, Zhang Huilan asked all the children to wear white filial piety clothes. She believes that this is the greatest respect for Yang Hucheng, and it can better represent her grief for the widow.
Although Zhang Huilan is not a martyr and has no vigorous deeds to sing, she has indeed made many obscure contributions to Yang Hucheng and this family, contributing all her energy and love.
She respected Yang Hucheng all her life and always took her husband's belief as her will.
In 1943, after she moved alone from Dongli fort to Xi'an, when Mr. Yang Mingxuan, the head of the northwest region of the Chinese Democratic League, proposed to her the need for a place to connect with communists and enlightened people, that is, a contact point, she did not hesitate to provide one of her own houses on Hongfu Street to Yang Lao.
Kuomintang agents set up a stove to sell boiling water at the door of her house to monitor, but she behaved unhurriedly and calmly to confuse the agents and protect the contact point.
Even her husband's enthusiasm for the construction of water conservancy in Shaanxi province once treasured a photo album taken during the construction of the Jinghui Canal until her death.
After the liberation of the whole country, when Chang Lifu was then the secretary general of the Northwest Military and Political Committee, and on behalf of the Northwest Military and Political Committee, she borrowed the "Stop Garden" mansion from her, she agreed indignantly, did not talk about remuneration, and only proposed to keep the building in which Yang Hucheng lived and moved as a memorial.
After Yang Hucheng's death, she regarded several children as her own, and loved Wu and Wu. She raised not only the salvation people and Kun sisters, but also their children, her grandchildren.
She often told her children about Yang Hucheng's frugal life, he said that Yang Hucheng struggled all his life and made many, many contributions to the people, he was neither lustful nor greedy for money, and he only wanted to go out of a path of China's democratic revolution.
Even though he later held a high position, he still maintained a frugal life and maintained many excellent styles.
Recalling the bits and pieces of her husband's life, Zhang Huilan's tears could not stop flowing.
Yang Hucheng in his work, no matter the small meeting of the conference, he never uses the secretary to write a manuscript, every word, every sentence is written by himself, he will follow his own ideological context, combined with reality, both arguments and arguments, easy to understand, well received by everyone.
In terms of diet, he is also never picky, eating only two meals a day, eating a lunch around ten o'clock in the morning, that is, noodles, steamed buns, and mainly porridge steamed buns in the evening, sometimes cooking a little pot noodles.

During his work, he mostly eats alone in the office. Every time he eats with his family, he is extremely excited, he will tell his family some funny and funny things, and he will talk about his recent life together.
Every time she thinks about this, Zhang Huilan will burst into tears, she misses those unforgettable days, she misses the days when the family sat together and laughed, she missed her husband even more........
But she knows better that what she should do more at this time is to live strongly with her love for her husband and take care of the children.
In 1958, the petroleum department decided to transfer Yang Zhengmin from the Yumen Oil Mine to the Sichuan Petroleum Administration, and when he went to Chengdu to report, the central government held a meeting in Chengdu, and he took the opportunity to visit some acquaintances.
When he met Li Desheng, when Li Desheng heard that he was transferred to Sichuan, he said: "Shaanxi lacks people to manage industry, so come to Shaanxi to work." ”
Yang Zhengmin said: "I have to obey the transfer of the Ministry of Petroleum. ”
To this end, he also sought out Premier Zhou, Vice Premier Li Fuchun, and with the consent of the two premiers, transferred him from the oil system to Shaanxi to work. After arriving in Shaanxi, he was still engaged in industrial management.
Transferring to Shaanxi has gained and lost for him, leaving the oil business he loves, leaving the Yumen people who have known each other for eight years, often making people nostalgic; returning to Xi'an to meet with his mother's family has more opportunities, the distance is closer, but the time to return home due to busy work is still limited.

Especially later, when she was transferred from Xi'an to Tianjin to work, Zhang Huilan hid the regret of parting deep in her heart, and Zhang Luo took photos of her family and personally cooked dishes for them. Make the parting atmosphere joyful.
When conditions permitted in 1969, she braced her sick and weak body and rushed to Beijing and Tianjin to visit her children. Her meticulous care made them feel the warmth and kindness of their mother, and their wounded hearts were soothed.
She is a generous person and often hides her grievances deep in her heart.
In 1965, Zhang Huilan visited them in Tianjin, originally hoping to stay longer, but as soon as she arrived in Tianjin, she received a telegram from the General Office of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, saying that there was something to discuss and urge her to return to Shaanxi as soon as possible.
In this way, she spent less and less time with the children, but she never said it. The main children live well, and she is happy.
Zhang Huilan was overwhelmed by the burden of long-term life, and she died in 1993 at the age of 89 years after being bedridden for more than a decade.
Before she died, she made only one request: "I want to be buried with your father." ”
Yang Zhengmin made this request to the Shaanxi government, but they did not have much hope, because at that time, the martyr's family was not allowed to be buried in the martyrs' cemetery after death.
But what they did not expect was that the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee actually agreed to this request and buried Zhang Huilan in the "Yang Hucheng Martyrs Cemetery" in the southern suburbs of Xi'an, and the specific acupuncture point was moved a little to the east in the place where she had originally reserved for herself.
Indeed, although Zhang Huilan was not a martyr, it was precisely because of her that Yang Hucheng had no worries. Throughout her life, she was hard-working and simple, thrifty and thrifty, honoring her mother-in-law, and raising non-biological children.
In particular, she never caused trouble for her father, and it should be said that she gave a lot in her life, especially emotionally, and got too little.
Therefore, it can also be said that she is the hero behind the hero, and is a rare unsung hero of the Yang family.
