"Night rain and autumn lights, pear blossoms and begonia accompany the old. Xiao Lou Dongfeng, the past is unbearable to look back. ”
On July 21, 1964, Taiwan's "Lianhe Pao" reported the news that Zhang Xueliang and Zhao Yidi were married, and gave a poem, and the lovers who had been obsessed for decades finally officially tied the knot and became a legal couple.
Some people once said that the love between Young Marshal Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si is the most fragrant rose in the troubled war, which has caused countless people to be curious about their stories.
Due to their special identity, the love between the two seems to have a bit of pathos since they met, and they have never been favored.
The world binds love, but it also ignites love, in the complex vision and chaotic rumors, Miss Zhao Si has proved her loyalty and firmness to this love with her life.
She accompanied Zhang Xueliang through the storm and survived the years until she reached the end of her life.
In her later years, Zhao Yidi was diagnosed with lung cancer, but at the age of 88, she still insisted on cooking herself, said nine words to Zhang Xueliang on her deathbed, and finally passed away in the tears of her lover.
Now twenty years have passed, but there are still faint whispers in the world about this love legend.
Can't let go of worries
"Why are you willing to give yourself up? Only for love's sake, is we willing to give ourselves. ”
The gray-haired Zhao Yidi wrote such a sentence in her book "New Life", at this time she had spent decades of imprisonment with Zhang Xueliang.
Zhang Xueliang was originally an acute person, and his perennial life as a prisoner made his temperament more irritable, and he would often be angry with Zhao Yidi, but the other party was not annoyed, just quietly waited for him to vent before continuing to do his own thing.
In the face of Zhang Xueliang, Zhao Yidi always has no complaints, she will only vent her bitterness and grievances in her heart by smoking.
As the time of house arrest increased, Zhao Yidi's mood became more and more depressed, and people's instinctive desire for freedom and longing for her son became a big stone in her heart, always inadvertently running out to torture her.
Therefore, she smoked more and more fiercely, and cigarettes became a necessity for her and Zhang Xueliang, and the tobacco fee alone was a large expense for the two every month.
In 1990, Zhang Xueliang's decades-long seclusion finally ended and he appeared in public again.
The long years have left many changes in his body, and the young marshal Zhang Xueliang, who once called the wind and rain, has become a gray-haired old man, and the only thing that has not changed is Miss Zhao Si, who has always accompanied him.
At that time, Zhao Yidi was also too old, although she was more than ten years younger than Zhang Xueliang, her overall mental state was far inferior to Zhang Xueliang, and her elegance and dignity always seemed to hide a trace of weakness.
After regaining her freedom, Zhao Yidi's physical condition was not optimistic, and her health was greatly affected due to her years of living a secluded life and depressed mentality.
During her solitary confinement, she suffered from fractures and lupus erythematosus, but the deadliest was lung cancer caused by long-term smoking.
After being diagnosed with lung cancer, she quickly underwent surgery to remove half of her lobes, and her body has been deteriorating year after year.
On June 1, 2000, Zhang Xueliang celebrated his 100th birthday, and his relatives and friends prepared a lively birthday dinner for him.
This dinner party made Zhang Xueliang in a good mood, talking and laughing with the people present in high spirits, and did not look like a centenarian at all.
Zhao Yidi had been quietly following behind him with a gentle smile, just as elegant and decent as she was when she was young.
Halfway through the banquet, Zhang Xueliang took Zhao Yidi's hand, and the two walked slowly to the center of the stage, and the eyes of the audience followed their steps, and the guests were surprised to find that the centenarian who had gone through ups and downs showed some childlike expressions on his face.
After standing, Zhang Xueliang stroked Zhao Yidi's hand holding his arm twice, and then slowly said to everyone: This is my girl.
He introduced his wife beside him like this, and the northeastern rural pronunciation that had not been changed for many years added a bit of simplicity to this simple sentence, but everyone present who knew something about the couple's story couldn't help but be moved.
Shortly after the banquet, Zhao Yidi was admitted to the hospital because she was seriously ill, in fact, her body was already at the end of the crossbow, but she had been struggling to hold on because she could not rest assured of her husband.
For decades, Zhao Yidi has pounced all his heart on Zhang Xueliang, taking care of all the trivial things in his life for him, and even insisting on cooking for his husband's words at the age of 88.
After the birthday party, she accidentally fell at home, and wrestling is extremely dangerous for the elderly, and her physical condition is not optimistic.
She was comforted by the fact that in the last moments of her life, the man she had loved all her life had been by her side every step of the way.
Zhang Xueliang, who was sitting in front of the hospital bed, showed a rare helpless look on his face, and held his wife's hand tightly, as if she would disappear as soon as she let go.
Zhao Yidi looked at him like this, and his heart was also very sad, and he tried his best to comfort him, and only said 9 words with difficulty: I can't rest assured that you are the most.
Life is just like the first sight
In the early morning of June 22, 2000, the ripples on the screen of the heartbeat detector next to Zhao Yidi's hospital bed turned into a straight line without waves, which announced that her life full of twists and turns had truly come to an end.
It is said that when people come to the end of their lives, all past pictures will flash in front of their eyes like a movie, so before Miss Zhao Si died, all that appeared in her mind was probably Zhang Xueliang's face.
Since he saw Zhang Xueliang at the Cai Mansion Ball in Tianjin at the age of 16, Zhao Yidi's life was like a runaway train, completely out of the original track.
Zhao Yidi was a typical aristocratic lady, her father Zhao Qinghua was a dignitary of that period, served as a deputy minister of foreign affairs, because she was the fourth oldest daughter in the family, so people called her Miss Zhao Si.
Even in the beautiful area of Beijing and Tianjin, Miss Zhao Si is famous for her elegance and beauty, and she appeared on the cover of Beiyang Pictorial at the age of fourteen and fifteen, winning countless praises.
As the daughter-in-law of the family, Miss Zhao Si grew up in the meticulous care and care of her family since she was a child, and the loving growth environment has cultivated a naïve and lively good temperament for her, and everyone who has come into contact with her is full of praise for her.
Zhao Yidi moved to Beijing with her family when she was young, and often attended various social places with her brother and sister on weekdays, and once she met Zhang Xueliang, known as one of the "Four Great Princes of the Republic of China".
At that time, Zhang Xueliang was already a famous "young marshal", frequently going to various banquets and dances, was the object of people's friendship, and was also a well-known playboy.
Zhao Yidi's brothers have a close relationship with Zhang Xueliang and often invite him to his home, so the Zhao family is also very familiar with Zhang Xueliang, especially his father Zhao Qinghua, who has always appreciated his talent.
The children of the Zhao family also often meet with Zhang Xueliang to play, they go to the Xiangshan Hotel to play golf, go to Beidaihe to escape the summer, go to Tianjin for vacation, and between the two trips, Zhao Yidi and Zhang Xueliang have become more and more familiar.
At that time, Miss Zhao Si was sixteen or seventeen years old, just at the age when her love was just beginning, and she mixed with such a bold and handsome man all day, and she quickly secretly agreed to the other party.
Although Zhang Xueliang lingered in Vanity Fair all day and was accustomed to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, he couldn't help but be moved in the face of the youthful, beautiful and innocent Zhao Yidi, and the relationship between the two gradually deteriorated from the initial brother and sister playmates to lovers.
But at that time, Zhang Xueliang already had a family, and his wife was Yu Fengzhi, the daughter of a wealthy businessman chosen by his father Zhang Zuolin, and the two were married when they were young, and Zhang Zuolin also promised the Yu family that Zhang Xueliang would never take a concubine.
Even after Miss Zhao Si knew that Zhang Xueliang was a husband with a wife, it was still difficult to give up her feelings for him, and she could not bear to break off contact with him.
Zhao Qinghua, who knew Zhang Xueliang's family situation well, was quite angry after learning about the affair between the two, although he had admired Zhang Xueliang very much before, but he could not accept that his daughter, who had always been held in the palm of his hand, fell in love with him, and even wanted to follow him without seeking fame, so he personally broke off the relationship with a knife and put his daughter under house arrest at home, preventing her from seeing Zhang Xueliang again.
Love will carry away people's minds and give birth to inexplicable impulsive courage, and Miss Zhao Si, who has always been well-behaved and obedient in the eyes of her parents, gradually revealed the rebellious soul buried deep in her heart after falling into the swamp of love.
It's hard to say goodbye when you meet
Her father's house arrest locked up Zhao Yidi's body, but could not lock up her soul, and the longing for Zhang Xueliang in her heart never stopped.
Adolescent girls who are full of love can't listen to any persuasion, and the admonitions of others about love will only add a little tragedy to this bumpy relationship in their hearts.
In 1929, the invitation letter inviting him to go to Mukden and the news of Zhang Xueliang's illness reached Miss Zhao Si, and Zhao Yidi, who was crazy about her lover, made up her mind almost instantly, she wanted to go to her love.
After Miss Zhao Si left home and went to Mukden to find Zhang Xueliang, Zhao Qinghua published a statement in the newspaper, severing his father-daughter relationship with Zhao Yidi, and never again became an official.
The truth and inside story of Miss Zhao's father and daughter severing relations have always been divided, but it is certain that they have not had public contact since then.
Miss Zhao Si left everything she had for Zhang Xueliang, and such a desperation seemed to become the norm in her future life, and in this relationship, she was always giving up herself.
The life of the young marshal's mansion is not good, Zhang Xueliang's original match Yu Feng Zhi is a gentle and virtuous woman, but it is difficult to calmly accept the husband he loves deeply with other women, and Zhang Zuolin has promised her family before.
Therefore, she never agreed to be an equal wife with Zhao Yidi, nor did she agree to give her any title, and only reluctantly agreed that she would stay with Zhang Xueliang as a secretary.
Many people thought that Zhao Yidi, who was regarded as a pearl at home in the past, would retreat because she could not bear such grievances, but they underestimated her feelings for Zhang Xueliang.
The once proud daughter of heaven accepted all this calmly, as long as she could stay by her lover's side, even if she could only bear the title of "private secretary", she was willing.
In the eyes of outsiders, her choice is too "love brain", but the people who are in it only feel that "the child is not a fish, and the joy of knowing the fish".
There are lovers in the world, and Zhao Yidi's infatuation with Zhang Xueliang eventually moved Yu Fengzhi, she put aside her prejudices, opened her heart and accepted Miss Zhao Si, and affectionately called her a little sister.
The Asura Field between the three finally came to an end, but it is difficult to find true peace in the chaotic times, and the waves on the lake of life are always difficult to smooth.
On December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng jointly gave military advice to Chiang Kai-shek, who was obsessed with the civil war, in Xi'an, which shocked China and abroad, and was known in history as the "Xi'an Incident".
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to agree to the demand to stop the civil war and join forces against Japan, and then Zhang Xueliang personally escorted him back to Nanjing.
This incident left a strong mark in China's modern history, and also became an important turning point in the lives of Zhang Xueliang and others.
Although Chiang Kai-shek agreed to Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng's request, he still had a strong dissatisfaction with the two in his heart, and even if Zhang Xueliang said that he would be responsible for this time, many forces also interceded for them, and it was still difficult to eliminate the resentment in Chiang Kai-shek's heart.
From then on, Zhang Xueliang began his life of seclusion for half of his life.
The belt gradually widened, and finally did not regret it
After the Xi'an incident, Yu Fengzhi and Zhao Yidi were very worried about Zhang Xueliang's safety and had been asking people to inquire about the news.
After learning that Zhang Xueliang was confined in Xikou, the two immediately set off, and the authorities agreed to their request to accompany Zhang Xueliang.
But since both of them have children to take care of, and there are still various chores to take care of at home, they agreed to rotate once a month and take turns to accompany Zhang Xueliang.
However, such alternating rotations require too much energy and waste a lot of time on the road, and Yu Fengzhi, considering that Zhao Yidi's son is still young and needs the company and care of his mother, persuaded her to stay in Shanghai to raise the child.
After some deliberation, Zhao Yidi agreed to Yu Fengzhi's proposal to let her stay in Xikou and return to Shanghai to take care of her young son.
Yu Fengzhi accompanied Zhang Xueliang in seclusion for three years, during which time the location of their seclusion followed Chiang Kai-shek's trajectory several times.
From Xikou to Jiangxi to Hunan, every time is a torture for Yu Fengzhi.
Although they have not suffered any loss in material life, the mental torture caused by seclusion has still affected their health status, especially Yu Fengzhi, who has always been in poor health.
In 1940, Yu Fengzhi's rotten sores on his breasts continued to deteriorate, and he continued to go out for medical treatment, Zhang Xueliang proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to send his wife to be treated, and asked Miss Zhao Si to continue to accompany him, and soon his request was met.
Miss Zhao Si was living with her son Zhang Lulin in Hong Kong at that time, and her rich family wealth made her and her son live very stable and happy, but when she received the telegram from Zhang Xueliang, it seemed to return to the day she received Zhang Xueliang inviting her to go to Mukden telegram.
Facing the telegram, Zhao Yidi had mixed feelings, she knew that her son was still young, but there was always a voice in her heart that kept saying to her: He needs you.
Just as she resolutely went to Mukden, Zhao Yidi once again abandoned everything and chose Zhang Xueliang, she entrusted her son to her friend, and then went to Zhang Xueliang without looking back, imprisoning herself and her in that small world.
Miss Zhao Si, who used to be as delicate and splendid as a rose, faded her Chinese clothes, changed into cloth clothes and shoes, washed her hands and made soup, describing that she simply handled all the trivial things in life for Zhang Xueliang and accompanied him through half a century of seclusion.
In the time when freedom was restricted, Zhao Yidi put all his energy on Zhang Xueliang, taking care of him, tolerating him, and enlightening him, becoming Zhang Xueliang's spiritual pillar and sustenance, but he never mentioned his pain.
After regaining their freedom, Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si settled in Hawaii and spent the last period of their lives on this charming and welcoming island.
In the early morning of June 22, 2000, Zhao Yidi, who had followed Zhang Xueliang all his life, walked ahead of him for the first time and died in a hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii.
"It's you that I can't worry about the most."
Zhang Xueliang, who was in a wheelchair, still echoed the nine words his wife said before she died, and tears rushed out of his eyes irrepressibly and slowly flowed down his wrinkled face.
Zhang Xueliang himself also knew that Zhao Yidi had a deep affection for him, and he once said that he owed Miss Zhao Si too much in his life.
After Zhao Yidi died, Zhang Xueliang held her hands unwilling to let go, until the relatives and friends around him couldn't help but step forward to persuade him and send him home.
Since her teenage years, Zhao Yidi has accompanied Zhang Xueliang through dozens of ups and downs, experienced countless ups and downs, and the sincere emotions in her heart have never wavered and changed.
In heaven wish to be a winged bird, and in earth wish to be a branch.
After Miss Zhao's death, Zhang Xueliang buried her in the Valley of the Temple between Hawaii and Honolulu, a tomb that the two had long admired, and a few years later, Zhang Xueliang died and was buried with his wife.
