Huang Hong, this name is thunderous in the hearts of the people.
He is a legend on the screen, and every year the Central Spring Festival Gala, which has appeared every day for 24 years, has become an evergreen tree that the audience expects.
Compared with Huang Hong's brilliance, Zhang Xueliang is an outstanding general in the long river of history, and the "Xi'an Incident" initiated by him and Yang Hucheng has left a strong mark in the long river of history.
Although the trajectories of their lives are completely different, fate allows them to meet and at a certain moment in history, sit down to discuss the impermanence of fate.
Zhang Xueliang, the child born in Zhanjiawobao, Sanlinzi, Tai'an County, Liaoning, was the pride of Zhang Zuolin in the north at that time, and the successor of the "Manchurian king" who once dominated the Beiyang government. However, the little Zhang Xueliang did not enter the gate of the school, but in the school hall at home, he was enlightened by his teacher Yang Qingfu and laid a solid cultural foundation. At that time, Shenyang was a common school for father and son.
The land of Tohoku has long been shrouded in the shadow of Japanese imperialism. Zhang Zuolin, as the "King of Manchuria" in Northeast China, gradually lost his autonomy in his dealings with Japan. The young Zhang Xueliang witnessed the scene of his hometown being trampled wantonly by the invaders, and his heart was full of anger and helplessness.
However, Zhang Boling, president of Nankai University, inspired Zhang Xueliang's patriotism with a vow that "China will not die and has me". He originally wanted to become a doctor, but under his father's expectations, he embarked on the road of martial arts.
Zhang Xueliang is not just a noble son who enjoys the life of a powerful man, he has a patriotic heart, is kind to people, and never puts on a high posture. He was committed to the development of the Northeast, and in the face of a severe economic crisis, he opened up ideas and built the industrial base of the Northeast to revitalize the land.
It has to be mentioned that Zhang Xueliang's support for national industry has cultivated many enterprises for the northeast region, and the now world-famous Zhaoxin Kiln Industry Company is the product of his strong support. He created employment opportunities for the people of Northeast China and injected new vitality into China's industrial development.
And Huang Hong, although there is not much intersection with Zhang Xueliang, but both are treasures of China, and both illuminate the land in their own way. In the long river of history, they are legends and our eternal pride.
In the context of the time, Zhang Xueliang showed his tough attitude towards Japan and adopted a strategy of restraint on Japanese companies. After inheriting the power of Northeast China, he accomplished something different: the Shenyang Imperial Palace in 1923 left an early communication relic - the first radio station in Northeast China.
Although its communication capabilities were limited to the northeast at that time, with Zhang Xueliang's management, he deepened and improved the station, allowing the whole northeast and other distant cities to establish contacts, shaping a huge information network. Under his guidance, the telecommunications industry in Tohoku developed rapidly, not only destroying Japan's telecommunications domination, but also promoting the integration of Chinese and foreign economies.
Although the 918 Incident suddenly interrupted Zhang Xueliang's rule in the northeast, in his short three years, he left a remarkable modernization legacy for the northeast. Among them, the ten major construction projects mark the beginning of China's modernization. During this period, the Northeast economy was in full swing, which can be called the golden age of the Northeast.
Zhang Xueliang has a deep emotional bond with Northeast China, and for him, Northeast China is not only his birthplace, but also his emotional destination. In the face of the threat of external forces, he not only resisted foreign enemies, but also hoped to find a new direction in the northeast. He practiced modernization and laid a solid industrial foundation for the Chinese nation.
In 1993, when the China Broadcasting Art Troupe went to Taiwan, many artists such as Huang Hong, Feng Gong and Ni Ping specially visited Zhang Xueliang, who lived in Taipei. Zhang Xueliang lived on Fuxing Road in Taipei City at that time, and maintained the habit of going to his fifth brother's house every Friday.
In the meeting with Zhang Xueliang, Huang Hong was the host because he was also a northeasterner, and he was deeply moved by Zhang Xueliang, who was already old but still personable. Zhang Xueliang also talked about his love for Peking Opera, such a party, relaxed and deep, people can't help but sigh at the flow of time and the depth of history.
In a chance encounter, Zhang Xueliang and Huang Hong became deeply interested. Zhang Xueliang asked in surprise: "What kind of performance are you doing?" Huang Hong replied in a thick northeastern accent: "We are from the military literary troupe, specializing in rap. ”
Hearing the title "sketch", Zhang Xueliang looked a little confused, because this art form was still foreign to him. In order to answer his doubts, Huang Hong improvised to show him a sketch of "Call Leak", which opened Zhang Xueliang's eyes and couldn't help but fall into deep thought and laughter.
Sketches, a form of artistic expression that emerged in the post-liberation period, were officially called "sketches" at the Spring Festival Gala in 1983. Of course, Zhang Xueliang does not know much about this new thing. But he was not to be outdone, and brought everyone a humorous stand-up comedy "Buttons and Pimples", which made everyone laugh hilariously, as if he saw another side of the young handsome.
The conversation between the two Northeast folks naturally cannot be separated from the most characteristic art of the Northeast - the two-person turn. Huang Hong asked: "Are you familiar with the two-person transfer in the northeast?" Zhang Xueliang responded that he did know.
Speaking of his hometown, Zhang Xueliang is full of emotion. Hearing Huang Hong mention his birthplace - Shenyang, then called Mukden, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but be emotional. When talking about whether to return to his hometown to visit, Zhang Lao felt a little helpless in his heart, because his lover was not in good health and needed surgery in the United States. Faced with this scene, everyone could not bear to say more and change the topic.
The originally expected brief exchange has unknowingly extended to nearly two hours. In order not to disturb Zhang Xueliang, everyone decided to end the chat. Before parting, Huang Hong hoped to get a few words written by Zhang Xueliang for his hometown.
Zhang Xueliang smiled and asked, "Is it better to write English or Chinese?" In the end, on that piece of paper, Zhang Xueliang only signed his name, and then said: "My eyesight is not as good as before, the name has been signed, if you say anything else, you can help me fill it." ”
When Huang Hong was parting, he invited Zhang Xueliang to watch the performance of their art troupe, and Zhang Lao readily agreed. When leaving, Zhang Xueliang prepared an envelope containing $20 for each person, not only as a blessing, but also as if hoping that they could bring good luck to the motherland.
In this exchange, Zhang Xueliang heard a lot of history from Huang Hong that he did not know, and these conversations also reminded him of those bygone years.
In their twilight years, every elder longs for a reunion with their homeland. For Zhang Xueliang, the northeast that he had worked hard to build and his heart was tied to was undoubtedly the place where his soul was haunted. Although the waves of history have isolated him from his hometown, his deep longing for his homeland has always been quietly hidden in the deepest part of his heart.
