It is worth noting that Zhang Zhizhong was an important general of the Kuomintang and did not clash with the Communists during the Liberation War.
Despite his presence in the Kuomintang, Zhang Zhizhong maintained close ties with the Communist Party. During 1950, he repeatedly accepted secret orders from Premier Zhou to secretly meet with high-ranking Kuomintang officials.
However, these actions almost killed him. As early as the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Zhang Zhizhong established a close relationship with the Communist Party.
He made an active contribution to the negotiations of the Communist Party.
Unlike other Kuomintang members, he opposed Chiang Kai-shek's policies and advocated peaceful means to solve the problem, but he was criticized and ostracized within the Kuomintang.
During the golden period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Zhang Zhizhong made important contributions to the war against Japan. However, he has also received some criticism for the Changsha fire.
Despite this, he maintained close ties with the Communist Party after the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and became an informant for cross-strait dialogue. He always firmly believed that China's Taiwan would return to the motherland and devoted himself to promoting the process of peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait.
Zhang Zhizhong's story teaches us that identity and position are not everything. Although he was a general of the Kuomintang, he maintained close contact with the Communist Party.
His courage and wisdom made him an important figure in cross-strait dialogue after the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. He unswervingly believed in China's return to the motherland and made unremitting efforts to promote the peaceful development and reunification of cross-strait relations.
Zhang Zhizhong's story also sends an important message that peace and cooperation are the best way to solve problems. No matter what time and position we are in, as long as we can sincerely cooperate with each other to explore common interests and long-term development, we can find the best way to solve the problem.
