Although Zhang Hanzhi once stood at the pinnacle of life, in the mind of her daughter Hong Huang, she is an epic scale and a tragic figure at the level of Shakespeare.
"A lifetime of love"
Zhang Hanzhi was born in Shanghai in 1935, her mother Tan Xueqing is a famous courtesan in Shanghai, once worked as a salesperson in the Kang Keling pen store of Yongan Company, and was known as Kang Keling Xi Shi.
Later, Tan Xueqing met Chen Du, the son of warlord Chen Tiaoyuan, and the two were pregnant before marriage and gave birth to Zhang Hanzhi.
At that time, Chen Du's family already had a good wife, and if Tan Xueqing married him, he would have to be a concubine, but Tan Xueqing was unwilling, so the two broke off their relationship and entrusted Zhang Hanzhi, who was still in infancy, to Zhang Shizhao.
Zhang Shizhao was busy with work, so he let his second wife, Mrs. Xi, raise her, but Mrs. Xi is a typical Shanghai aunt wife, and the greatest joy in life is to play mahjong, often mixed on the mahjong table, and has no time to care about Zhang Hanzhi.
Therefore, when he was a child, Zhang Hanzhi believed in Catholicism very much, and often stayed alone in the church in a daze to pass the loneliness in his heart.
Zhang Hanzhi grew up under the care of the nanny at home, although she did not worry about eating and drinking in the Zhang family, she obviously lacked the nourishment of love spiritually, which is also the reason why she has been pursuing love all her life.

In 1953, when Zhang Hanzhi was eighteen years old, a man who claimed to be her half-brother found her with a photo of a woman holding a baby in her arms, and said that the baby and the woman in the photo were her and her biological mother Tan Xueqing.
This is the first time Zhang Hanzhi has learned about her life experience, recalling her grievances, loneliness and misfortune when she was a child, she is even more convinced that she is not Zhang Shizhao's biological daughter.
When she got in touch with her biological mother, Zhang Hanzhi had the idea of leaving the Zhang family and returning to her biological mother. Because she thinks that her biological mother must have been too poor to give up on her in the first place, and the poor are good people.
But just when she made up her mind to get out of Zhang's house, the superior leader talked to her, and the idea was gone. However, although he failed to return to his biological mother, Zhang Hanzhi still kept in touch with his biological mother and often visited Shanghai.
Because of the lack of love in childhood, Zhang Hanzhi has been looking for love almost all her life, but fate seems to be joking with her, and she has never been able to get her wish. Zhang Hanzhi has two relationships, each of which is very bumpy.
In 1957, Zhang Hanzhi and his long-awaited lovers entered the palace of marriage.
Although the two places are separated, it does not affect their correspondence and mutual love. In 1960, Zhang Hanzhi gave birth to a lovely daughter, and the two-person home became a happy three-person home.
But at this moment, a drastic change was quietly setting off, and the relationship between Zhang Hanzhi and her husband was also affected, they no longer had the passion they had when they fell in love, but they have been dragging on without divorce.
Until 1972, after Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka left Beijing, Chairman Mao listened to a report on the Sino-Japanese summit meeting, and Zhang Hanzhi also participated in the discussion.
The atmosphere of the conversation was very relaxed, and Chairman Mao was in a good mood, and suddenly Chairman Mao's painting style changed, and he talked about Zhang Hanzhi's marriage in front of everyone. Chairman Mao said to her: "My Teacher Zhang, today I want to criticize you, why don't you liberate yourself?" ”
Zhang Hanzhi was very shocked, she didn't expect Chairman Mao to care about herself in his busy schedule, and immediately decided to deal with the broken feelings as soon as possible.
What Zhang Hanzhi didn't know was that Chairman Mao's criticism of her would make waves in the heart of Qiao Guanhua, who had just died of his wife.
Qiao Guanhua
"Mom takes men too seriously"
Zhang Hanzhi and Qiao Guanhua first met in 1967, when she was picking up stationery at a small stationery store diagonally across from her alley. At this time, an emaciated and slender figure walked in, this person wore glasses, his expression was grim, and his body was wrapped in a unique temperament. From the conversation between the clerks, Zhang Hanzhi knew that this person was the famous Qiao Guanhua.
The second time Zhang Hanzhi met Qiao Guanhua was in 1971, when she had just been transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
One day, Zhang Hanzhi was about to rush to the office on the fourth floor when he found that the elevator was broken, so he had to choose to climb the stairs. In the stairwell, Zhang Hanzhi looked up and saw an old man struggling to climb the stairs, followed by several cadres.
Seeing that several cadres were all respectful, Zhang Hanzhi guessed that the old man must be a certain cadre, but because she was in a hurry, she couldn't take care of it much, and she immediately wanted to surpass the old man.
At this time, a cadre grabbed her and warned: "Don't run, there is Minister Qiao in front." Only then did Zhang Hanzhi know that the old man was Qiao Guanhua.
In the days that followed, although Zhang Hanzhi and Qiao Guanhua worked in the same department, they never had the opportunity to meet until Zhang Shizhao's "Liu Wen Instructions" was published.
At that time, after Zhang Shizhao published the book, he asked Zhang Hanzhi to give the book to Qiao Guanhua in person, but Zhang Hanzhi was worried that others would misunderstand her taking her father's book as a favor, so he detained the book privately. Later, once Zhang Shizhao asked about Qiao Guanhua's book, Qiao Guanhua was stunned, and after sending someone to investigate, he learned that Zhang Hanzhi had withheld it, so he sent a secretary to take the book back.
In November of that year, China resumed its seat in the United Nations, and Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi met again. After the last book deduction, Qiao Guanhua had already noticed Zhang Hanzhi, so he took the initiative to greet her: "You are Zhang Hanzhi, you are Zhang Lao's daughter?" ”
Zhang Hanzhi stood up respectfully and replied, "I am." "It's you who detained my "Liu Wen Command"?" Qiao Guanhua asked. Zhang Hanzhi was embarrassed, so he heard Qiao Guanhua say, "I know you today." ”
Perhaps it is this side that gives Zhang Hanzhi and Qiao Guanhua a wonderful fate.
In 1972, Chairman Mao's criticism of Zhang Hanzhi made Qiao Guanhua aware of her troubles. Finally one day, Qiao Guanhua suddenly asked Zhang Hanzhi when there was no one around: "Is what the chairman said that day true?" ”
Zhang Hanyi didn't react for a while, and asked rhetorically, "What's the situation?" Qiao Guanhua asked again: "Your personal life." This is a personal issue, Zhang Hanzhi felt that there were some subtle changes happening, she was a little flustered, but she also said it truthfully.
Qiao Guanhua
In Zhang Hanzhi's comments, Qiao Guanhua has always been a person with a lot of personality, a typical intellectual, and a person who defends his dignity and is arrogant. This is one of the reasons why Qiao Guanhua attracted Zhang Hanzhi.
In addition, Zhang Hanzhi was also moved by Qiao Guanhua's hot love, so she broke the age gap and status gap between her and Qiao Guanhua by 23 years, and readily accepted Qiao Guanhua's marriage proposal.
Zhang Hanzhi and Qiao Guanhua's love was fast and warm, and they were immersed in a beautiful love and couldn't extricate themselves. But the relationship was not very smooth, and even suffered many obstacles.
Qiao Guanhua
For a while, Zhang Hanzhi was so uncomfortable that he had to propose to Qiao Guanhua to break up. She went out to watch a movie without saying hello, Qiao Guanhua couldn't find anyone here who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he didn't drink a lot of alcohol, he drank a whole bottle of Moutai and fell drunk at home.
After receiving the news, Zhang Hanzhi hurried to Qiao Guanhua's house, and saw Qiao Guanhua still calling his name in a daze. She was touched by Qiao Guanhua, and she decided that no matter how hard it was, she would never leave this man who loved her again.
Lovers eventually became married, Qiao Guanhua and Zhang Hanzhi finally came together, no matter what kind of ups and downs they experienced later, they did not give up on each other.

But this relationship is still too short-lived, and Zhang Hanzhi ended with life and death before he could feel it well. In 1983, Qiao Guanhua died in Beijing at the age of 70. Zhang Hanzhi felt that the sky had fallen, and tears were raining down.
Hong Huang once commented on his mother Zhang Hanzhi: "My mother is a traditional woman, she takes men too seriously. I always feel that she has a deep-rooted patriarchal complex in her thoughts, and a woman with this kind of thinking always has to find a man worthy of her complete self-sacrifice in the end. ”
Qiao Guanhua is Zhang Hanzhi's willing self-sacrificing man, after Qiao Guanhua's death, Zhang Hanzhi was widowed for 25 years. In the past 25 years, she has written four books about Qiao Guanhua, returned to Qiao Guanhua's hometown three times, and spent the rest of her life commemorating Qiao Guanhua.
Zhang Hanzhi and his daughter Hong Huang
In the eyes of the public, this is her virtue, and it is what a beautiful Chinese woman should do. But in my eyes, that's what makes her tragic and why she's a tragic figure. Hong Huang said.
