The interior area of the former residence is not particularly large, except for the middle hall, the left and right sides are the Chinese restaurant and the Western-style reception hall. At the end of the hall is the Mei Lanfang stage - Zhang Xueliang especially likes Mei Lanfang and often invites Mei Lanfang to sing at home.
On the wall of the Chinese restaurant, there is Zhang Xueliang's chronology, just a few lines, writing Zhang Xueliang's life. In the reception hall, Zhang Zuolin's handwritten "Heavenly Reason Human Heart" was hanged.

The story of Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Yidi
Zhang Xueliang, a general of the National Revolutionary Army, the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the warlords, and a famous patriotic general in modern China.
Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si
After the "Huanggutun Incident", he succeeded him as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Security Army, refused to be wooed by the Japanese, adhered to the "Northeast Yizhi", and made contributions to the unification of the motherland and national unity. Later, he served as deputy commander of the army, navy and air force of the Republic of China, and a first-class general of the army.
After the Xi'an Incident, he was placed under long-term house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek's father and son. He recovered his personal freedom in 1990, left Taiwan and lived in Hawaii in the United States in 1995, and died in Honolulu on October 14, 2001 at the age of 101.
Zhang Xueliang actively advocated resistance against Japan and opposed the civil war, and together with General Yang Hucheng, he launched the "Xi'an Incident" that shocked China and abroad, promoting the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and forming an anti-Japanese national united front.
Zhao Yidi was born in a family of eunuchs in Hong Kong, and his father Zhao Qinghua served as the deputy minister of transportation during the Beiyang government. Yidi is the fourth oldest in the family, so people call her "Miss Zhao Si".
Miss Zhao Si is naturally beautiful, has a beautiful figure, likes to dress up, and also loves reading and sports. She is very temperamental inside and out, so she became the cover girl of Beiyang Pictorial at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
In 1927, Miss Zhao Si was 16 years old and became a big girl who was full of fun and curiosity about everything. At the dance party at the Cai Mansion in Tianjin, she first met Zhang Xueliang, who was 11 years older than her.
Unexpectedly, this acquaintance kicked off a moving love story that has been legendary to the world for more than half a century, and it also began the 72-year fate of the two.
From a young marshal to becoming a "prisoner under the steps", Zhang Xueliang has experienced pain that he has never experienced in his life. In the loneliness of isolation, Miss Zhao Si has always stayed with him, and the two rely on each other. People who have seen it say that Miss Zhao Si often wears blue clothes, pedals cloth shoes, almost washes all the lead, and accompanies Zhang Xueliang all day long.
Half a century, no regrets, only this true love from beginning to end.
